Viewing Original Android UI on the Hero

**mousey** · 07-31-2009, 08:48 AM

Discovered by a friend at work who thought it was just normal.

After install Task Manager 1.7 from the Android Market and starting it up for the first time if you now press the Home button you get a menu asking the following.

Complete action using
Home
TouchFLO

If you choose Home it takes you to the original Android theme like the G1 and has 3 home screens that are available to use that are completely seperate from the ones you set up using TouchFLO.

I have since unistalled Task Manager and the option is still showing, to get rid of it I can just check the option:

Use by default for this action and set it to TouchFLO

Just thought it was an interesting querk

thats interesting, so when you switch to the standard Android UI, are your HTC Sense Scenes still saved when you go back?

Yep pressing home again takes you back to your original Sense UI as it was before

The Sense UI always gave me that option on my Magic. Had to go into the settings and get rid of it, it comes up every time you long press home. (it becomes very annoying)

I never installed Task Manager and it still does that occasionally if I press on the home button a little too long. No big deal though I kinda freaked the first time when it gave me the default Android desktop
