This might be a dumb question but is there a fully functional Nexus One 2.2 ROM available for the EVO?
i think this is what youre looking for...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
but its not fully functional. the only things that dont work are 4g, FMradio, and HDMI out.
Is it possible to port over the htc sense rom thats on the htc flyer over to xoom.Im really digging the sense and would like to see it on the xoom.Thanx
Probably not possible at the moment. HTC Sense 3.0 is made for Android 2.3. The htc libraries probably are not compatible with Honeycomb.
Your best bet is to wait for HTC's first honeycomb tablet with Sense to come out first.
on top of that it likely wouldn't work on non htc hardware anyway
Can't be done, at least not without extensive rewrites and hackery since Sense 3 is not meant for 3.0. Oh, and requests are to be made in the q&a forum, not development.
Thread closed.
I know I'm probably going to get shot down but hear me out at least.
Before HTC announced Sense 4.0, I wasn't a massive fan of the sense experience - so much that I was runny vanilla android on my HTC Desire.
However, with the announcement of Sense 4.0 my opinions changed. I didn't think it would be possible to get it on non HTC devices due to how much sense is built into the OS and hardware, but I noticed that someone has successfully managed to port the HTC Endeavour RUU to their Nexus S albeit with not much working. We do however have a newer device, with a 720p screen which the HTC Endeavour RUU uses.
Don't get my wrong I love ICS, but there's something about the new sense incorporated with it.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to begin to do the said work, but I was just wondering how many people feel the same.
What are the chances of a dev taking up the project, I would be more than happy to donate.
Not going to happen.
HTC uses different chipsets than Samsung.
Sense hasn't been run on TI processors, mostly Snapdragons and according to the HTC Endeavor specs, now Tegra 3 is thrown into that mix.
It makes it impossible to port it over to have a fully functioning port with everything working. You may be able to get it to boot, but not too much else.
Makes sense, however if that's the case, why is there is pretty much a working build of Sense 2.1 on the Nexus S?
It must be possible, but I reckon it would take a lot of work.

Thread reported. The search button does function quite well. We have had numerous Sense porting threads that you could have found. Good luck!

Hello, I am a Sensation XL user and I have the opportunity to switch to a GNex(trade). The reason I would switch to Nexus is the SA HD screen, dual core a9cortex, better gpu, really good looking and working OS. I am currently worried about the lifespan of my SXL since it packs a single core snapdragon and a poor WVGA resolution.
The reason I wouldn't switch is a few sense goodies such as swiping to text, smartdialing, facebook integration, editing media etc. along with losing my iBeats earphones and a really good looking design.
I kept telling myself I do not want the trade but the small resolution, ugly looking fonts and icons and periodical Sense lag keeps haunting me. I don't like rooting, I like having things as stock as possible.
Please help me decide I'm very unsure what to do!
people here are trying to port Sense 4.0 on the Nexus and you're trying to get rid of it?
anyway, you should try the different Sensation 4.0.3 ROMs out there before giving up on it.
if you like plain ICS, you can have it on the Sensation as well...both phones are good. If you like Sense, wait until HTC One series comes out and sell your SXL then.
either way, you can't avoid rooting...you can install the ARHD or InsertCoin's ROMs which are as stock as possible on HTC but definately faster...no Sense lag.
you still have a lot to explore on your phone
LE: nevermind, the ROMs i mentioned above are for Sensation, not S XL
but i think HTC released official ICS for you?

I'm not really that good with the whole root/flash s-off stuff. Even if I dug in this new universe I know there are plenty of problems since there isn't anything official about these homebrew roms. I like my phone but I'm not pleased with the low res and choppy user interface. Maybe Nexus doesn't have the problems htc has with the sense ui (even though my XL has sense 3.5 which should be theoretically faster). My next phone will not be an htc since i've had only htcs since 2010 and am fed up with the looks of it.

Then I would go with the galaxy nexus if I were you. It basically has everything you are looking for. And if you decide to learn to root/unlock boot loaders and what not, the nexus is the easiest to learn with (my opinion) . I think if you go with the galaxy nexus , its a win-win. Good luck

Greetings to all dev`s of xda.
I am just looking for any Rom containing Sense 5 to our GNex.So I think that it will be good to have one.
I want to ask who or how can we port TDroid for example from Sensation or Ville to Nexus device?
That will not work, cause Sense stuff only works on HTC phones
But I heard the guys in the S3 forums are working on a port, but it's still very early and very difficult to do, so I wouldn' bet that it will come to our GNex one day.
Not sure if trolling or...
Sense 5 actually seems nice ! i like blink feed :drools:

I like it too, it's way lighter than any other Sense.. Anyway... Porting that to Gnex won`t gonna happen, ever!

not happening.
if you want sense 5, buy an HTC phone
Yeah unfortunately won't happen. The best you can do is super theme it and nab a new phone of HTC with sense 5. Pretty beautiful though.

Without the HTC hardware to support Sense UI there is no way to use the Sense 5 Interface. There are some ROM's that have taken portions of Sense and integrated into their ROM's (Beans and there are some others), but no way to fully incorporate the UI.
