Forking the home screen doesn't matter that much, the basic APIs are sound. HTC might choose to keep it as a proprietary advantage rather than donate upstream, which will benefit them but won't significantly hurt Android as a project.
Forking the platform (a la Linux) is a lot more problematic. Only time will tell if the new Hero ROMs differ platform-wise. HTC claim perfect compatibility but as far as I can tell existing notification icons won't be compatible with their new black notification bar, so who knows how serious they are about compatibility. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
