HTC Sense is a software suite developed by
HTC, used primarily on the company's
Android-based devices. Serving as a successor to HTC's
TouchFLO 3D software for
Windows Mobile, Sense modifies many aspects of the Android
user experience, incorporating additional features (such as an altered home screen and keyboard), additional
widgets, re-designed applications, and additional HTC-developed applications. The first device with Sense, the
HTC Hero, was released in 2009. The HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5, released later the same year, included Sense. Following the release of the Hero, all future Android devices by HTC were shipped with Sense, except for the
Nexus One, the
T-Mobile G2, the
HTC First, and the
Nexus 9 which used a stock version of Android.
