Pictured right is a Google Nexus One phone running HTC’s popular, proprietary user interface, Sense. In a nutshell, the ROM from the HTC Desire is being ported to the Nexus One. Although the hardware differences between the HTC Desire and Nexus One are minimal, this is no minor feat nor is the porting complete. Modaco, the hacker porting the ROM, reports that the system file was too large for the Nexus One’s internal storage and some modifications were needed, not all of which are complete.
Expect many Nexus One users to run this ported ROM given the widespread criticism of the “plain” Android 2.1 user interface and the rave reviews of the Sense user interface. Keep in mind that you will need to root your Nexus One to install another ROM and you run the risk of making your phone inoperable. (The lawyer in me wanted to remind you of that.)
