Is Having SenseUI 2.5 Worth Not Having Landscape Support??

#1 (**permalink**) 12-26-2009, 06:21 PM

As the title says, i love the look of senseui 2.5 but not sure on having it full time since the touch pro 2 is a qwerty device. Just wanted to hear your thoughts and opinions on this... is it worth it or not???

Just the sense screens won't work in landscape. Any program that supports landscape will run in landscape.

That being said, I switched to 2.5 today using Juicy's ROM and I love it. The lack of landscape in most of the HTC screens isn't that big a deal to me. The Music and Photos tabs will work with landscape though and that is enough for me. Also, internet should work in landscape, I think.

I don't mind not having the Landscape. Although I do have Rotostrains fix installed and still have some form of Landscape on all tabs anyway.

As noted above, all apps. that have always worked in Landscape, still do work in landscape just fine.

thanx for the imput guys. im fully aware that in the home tabs is where most issues begins, but how bout the second level when it comes to deepness within SenseUI? does it work or just in some cases? example: HTC SMS, Contacts, Twitter Peep app, etc.

They all work with a few graphical anomolies(nothing terrible), with Rotostrains' Landscape fix.

it's not as much the no landscape support on those few tabs as it as the phone's sluggishness that will bug the shit out of you

It's worth it to me. 2.1 is just lacking in so many areas.

I know you probably want other opinions, besides mine, but I have yet to see a faster, more stable 2.5 rom. I've tried my share. It is fast, stable, and no details have been left out really. Just very thorough rom build, all around!

I'm not arguing, I just am wondering what you find lacking? I'm not sure I find much difference in 2.1 o 2.5 other than the programs layout, twitter tab, and footprints tab. Are there other features that I'm not aware of?
