The HTC Sense UI might just be the best thing to happen to Android since, well, since Android was launched. The HTC Hero comes packed to the gills with smartphone hardware, like it’s 5-megapixel camera, 3.2-inch capacitance-based touchscreen, GPS, WiFi and smudge-resistant Teflon coating, but it’s the HTC Sense UI that makes the Hero really shine. Still, the Hero’s interface does have a couple niggling faults. The analog clock update ritual and lags between homescreen transitions have been sticking points for HTC. So much so that HTC is preparing to release an updated HTC Hero ROM that should fix those problems.

MoDaCo‘s video proves that the upcoming Hero ROM is as smooth as butter.

Now, we just wait for that CDMA HTC Hero to hit Sprint on October 11.
