Lately there’s been a lot of talk about whether or not the Sense UI unveiled for the HTC Hero will be available on other handsets, either Android and Windows Mobile. Well, some clever chaps have managed to cram Rosie onto the HTC G1/Dream and demoed it on video for the world to gawk at. Everything seems to run pretty smoothly through the eight minutes of navigation, but feel free to watch the whole thing for a nice tour of what will likely end up on the Hero. There are full instructions on how to get the HTC Hero’s user interface on your own G1 in broken, Google-translated English, but just keep in mind the ROM is still half-baked and prone to a few bugs. In the long run, Sense won’t officially make it onto Android phones “with Google” due to licensing issues – the UI is HTC’s baby, not Google’s, after all.
