Overall the answer is no. Some functions (like the toolbox) will work. However you do not want to push any roms / themes / applications to this build because you will break it. They aren't made for 2.1. :) Once this project has stabilized a little bit I'll be hammering away at the kitchen.
Live wallpapers started on the nexus and they are made for vanilla android, not for sense. For that reason if you want to use them, you need to stop using sense. You can do that one of two ways.
1) Completely remove SenseUI (Rosie.apk) from /system/app/Rosie.apk . If you do that and reboot then the phone will default to Android Home. Then just change your wallpaper to a live one.
2) The other option (which you can see me doing in the video) is using both. You can do that by doing:
Menu < Settings < Applications < Manage Applications < HTC Sense < Clear Defaults
Now when you hit the Home button it will ask you if you want to use Home or HTC Sense. As long as you don't check "use by default" then it will ask you every time you hit Home. If you prefer it to go to Home or Rosie every time then just check that and pick which one you want.
Many of them work really well. They aren't really made for our phones so some run a little slow. Additionally any that require OpenGL 2 won't work. But there are a lot of free ones on the market that work great. I have included a few with the rom. Keep in mind that these aren't made for our phones so it may not be 100% stable. :)
Protected apps are applications on the market that are considered copy protected. Probably the most popular one that people ask about is twidroid. With a developer rom like this you can not see protected apps. Now that doesn't mean you aren't able to use them. If you have purchased any apps or there are any apps that you want that are protected then you need to download them from another rom and then back them up. Once you back it up you will have the .apk that you can then install on this rom.

***REMOVING HTC LOCKSCREEN WILL GIVE U A FUNKY LOCKSCREEN THAT CAN ONLY UNLOCK BY PRESSING MENU***
I removed the HTC lockscreen to use the default 2.1 with the sliders.
Other than that, ROM is absolutely incredible!!..many thanks to Flipz and Team. And if you havent donated…shame on you..dont do it to just get the ROM early, do it to support our devs.
Thank you very much everybody has credits in that ROM. I give it a try but restored back to Fresh 1.1(Android 1.5) for the following reasons:
- Wireless Tether Application is not started. I was stuck at Super user permission screen.
- Battery charging take a very long time compared to stable version.
- Some applications does not show up on market(sipdroid, ustream broadcaster, yelp, shopper, goggles, barcode scanner, …)(I know they can be downloaded and installed manually)
- Google Earth doesn’t start even it can be installed
- I got FC on some screens(System update, or on first trial of some applications)
i donated 5 bucks, cant wait to run 2.1 on my hero and get to take pics…
