it's when you disable Sense UI and use the stock Android 2.1 experience. The app launcher at the bottom in the middle, 3d app tray effects, less home screens, no htc widgets or benefits, etc - basically what you see on the nexus one. We used to be able to disable Sense and enable "launcher," but not after the ota yesterday. If you haven't applied the update, you can try it out by going to settings, apps, manage apps, htc sense, then click clear defaults and force close, then press the home button and you get to pick to launch Sense or launcher.

I just don't understand how they can do that. I mean I paid for an Android phone. Okay, yes, I didn't pay for the OS because it's free but come on!? What is this? An iPhone?

Open source god damn it! Let me do what ever I want with it!

If you want other wise, try LauncherPro, it's free in beta. Better as well. Really customizable. I put it on my father's Droid and got jealous. I made it soooo sleek looking. :)

For walls, check out this thread HERE.

Page 2 has a bunch of walls, some by me. Page 1 has some as well, but the bulk are on 2.

i lost mine those were some nice wallpapers grr

I use the flat black wallpaper, less clutter, and figure it might save a little battery by not having bright colors

I am thinking they removed it because it was causing an issue where it would conflict and or auto load things causing unexpected battery usage.. But that's just an opinion.
