Integrate with Scenes in HTC Sense

The HTC Hero (and probably all subsequent HTC Android devices) allows the user to configure different desktops (scenes), with different widgets, shortcuts, backgrounds etc.

For example, a user can have 'Work', 'Home' and 'Out' scenes, and then switch between them for different activities, provi... more

This would be an interesting feature, although currently HTC doesn't allow third party apps access to the Scene's API of their Sense-based Android phones.

So for the time being, this feature won't be possible until HTC opens up Sense for third party apps such as Locale.

Alternatively, HTC could implement a Locale plug-in which accomplishes this, as that wouldn't require opening up Sense completely for third party apps.

Either way, we haven't heard anything from HTC on this subject yet.

    HTC really do need to open up the HTC Sense API - having scenes controlled by Locale would make Scenes 100% more useful!

    If HTC Sense cannot be interacted with this, is there something similar (and open to interaction) from LauncherPro or any other like this?

    I 110% support tis as being a killer app for both Locale and HTC.

    I'm going to twitter them now!

    Please build in this feature - It would be soo cool!

    Really, really want it!!! Would be so useful!

    It would justify both locale and htc sense! whoa! get cracking, beloved codemonkeys!

  7. 3

    Yes, please! Life would be so much easier!

    This is a really good idea. Couldn't someone perhaps make a plug-in?

    You want an app that would stand out above its competitors...this would be it.

    This would be a very helpful feature, and would certainly make scenes useful.

    Sounds only sensible (if you'll forgive the unintentional pun), honestly I thought that a plugin already existed for it and I just couldn't find it...

  12. 3

    The sales guy said this was already part of the Hero itself....HA. If you can get this to work I'd be allllllll FOR IT! Great Idea.

    Count me among those requesting this feature. HTC's Sense UI is great, and I'd love to see Locale take advantage of Sense's customization abilities.

  14. 3

    I actually downloaded Locale because i thought this feature existed. Hope it will be added soon!

  15. 3

    absolutely, would make a big difference to have all the home screens change to your work functions upon arriving to work!

  16. Although not essencial it would be really nice to have this

    I am planning to buy HTC Hero myself, so this would be amazing thing for me.
