Will ppl who use the hero be able to put the google android ROM os on the hero, since Google Branded android won't get the sense UI? that be intresting to find out.

If so maybe i will wait on getting an android with sprint instead of jumping for the mytouch.

Not really clear on what you mean. Will you be able to put cupcake/jf/cyanogen/dude's roms on them? I'd imagine so, eventually. Why you'd want to, I'm not sure, but someone will.

I'm not 100% sold on sense ui, for the fact when your scrolling throught contacts, music ext. it looks exactly like wm touchflo. i love that googles android looks fresh, something new. lastly i dont have any problems with sprint, so i'm trying to stay loyal.

Well, the touchflo interface is just a home replacement, basically. Underneath it is the familiar Android look, at least it was on the hacked Rosie builds we had before, you should be able to go back to that instead of the touchflo if you like.

has anyone been able to do this yet? put the google android OS on the hero, or is it possible to customize the scroll menu to not look like a touch flow interface?

i heard if you go into the settings>manage applications and clear the home data and settings when you click on home you will get prompted to chose if you want to use touchflo or just home

kinda like when you have a home replacement

so is the sense a home replacement? and if i choose home it will revert back to the OS thats on the G1, Magic and Galaxy?
