The recently released Motorola Droid is a nice device but it’s using the out of the box Google Android UI, while it’s usable and provides a modern look and feel you might want to look for a replacement. Thanks to the folks at AllDroid it is now possible to use the HTC Sense UI from the HTC Hero on a Motorola Droid.
HTC not only creates some of the best devices on the market (HTC HD2 for example), they also know how to create really nice user interface replacement whether it is on Windows Mobile or Android.
This HTC Hero theme was created by xeudoxus, the latest version of the theme (1.6) was released in January and does require a rooted Droid as well as a free application called MetaMorph.

The installation instructions are quite simple:

6. Finally press OK and click on Apply All to complete the installation of this theme.
