Hi all chefs
Is it possible to cook a Samsung Galaxy S ROM for the HTC Desire? The applications are available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7201890#post7201890 And the Samsung Glaxy S Android development forum has some custom ROMs, so I guess the source or something is available for our beloved chefs
If not a total ROM port are feasible because of the big differences in hardware, at least a Desire ROM with most of the apps and widget cooked in would be great!
Anyone up for the challenge?
We already have the Galaxy launcher and apps...i don't think there is much need for a rom. Other than samsung widgets i suppose?

Hum did I miss something? D: where are the apps?
Someone posted them in the themes/apps section.
why do you even want to do that? sense is much superior than touchwiz in my opinion

Actually I posted the apps in the themes and apps section, but non of the apps seems to work on the Desire, or has there been any progress regarding that issue? Especially some of the widgets and apps are interesting.
I got rid of my Galaxy S for the Desire because TouchWiz is terrible. Why would you want to replace Sense with that?
Touchwiz is crap.

Well, actually only the following apps are of special interest:
FM RDS Radio
WriteandGo
I tried to install them, but it didn't work.
I would like those apps and the music app because it looks awesome

We don't want any Samsung rubbish around here. This is the HTC Desire forum.

Hah Samsung makes good screens!
They should stick to what they do best, making visuals! They are one of the best for displays I think we'd all agree, leave the high-end business mobile phone department to people that have been in the business for years.. like HTC. Sense really makes these devices stand out on the home screens alone.
I agree but it would be nice to have a play with some of their application they have designed.

You cannot be serious.

I have forgotten a lot but if I recall it correctly, there is a mod for AOSP ROM to get the touchwiz.
Better ask the other more about this.
out of interest why would you want touchwiz?
almost everyone with a Galaxy S I know doesn't want it either

It is true. I have played for a couple of minutes with the Galaxy S2 and beside the speed due to better hardware, I didn't impressed at all.
I own a Desire and a SGS2 and I have to admitt that TouchWiz4 impresses me a lot more than Sense.

from what ive seen, touchwizz is more functional and more customizable than sense which only 'looks nice' but i dont think it does look that nice
guess it is simply an individual matter
i never tried touchwiz, from what ive seen on videos it doesnt really make me want a SGS2.
one desire developer, baadnewz, recently bought SGS2 but he sold it very soon after and bought HTC Sensation reason: "cant live without sense"
so like i said, everyone likes what he/she likes
It's not that I don't like sense I just wanna try something different. I sometimes get tired of the look of sense and wanna try Touchwiz out. Is it just me or is sense just getting boring their are just so many devices with it on them its no longer fresh.
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
If you are bored of Sense and wanna try something new, why don't you try MIUI or AOSP?
Note:
It is also true that I tend to prefer Sense over MIUI, Moto-Blur or Touchwiz.
Isn't Blur dead now?
didn't Moto even rename it?
I will also be trying MIUI after my device is able to be rooted.

In Austrailia there is an update for the Desire which is senseless... Just thought i should share it with yous
Dont see this happening tbh
It can be a misunderstanding as usual..
Remove sense ui = Remove some sense app ?

Agree, don't see HTC rolling out a Sense-less ROM. And I wouldn't like that either!
It says UI not apps, and engadget is a trusted sourse, im just tellin yall, i dont really care cus i have a desire Z just passing on the news
This may be true,since it would be TElstra update and not an official HTC rollout per usual.
Now if only HTC would realize how sucky SenseUI is and scrap it,and make a totally new UI ,that is sleek,fast,and mainly bloatware free!
It wouldn't make sense for htc to drop sense completely; not upgrading to sense v2.1 is more likely
I hope that we even get it sense or no sense. No update yet just speculations
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
i hope this is a true
This makes no sense lol
Anyway, I bet it's a mistake. Desire without Sense is not Desirable at all.
Would love to have the option to go senseless on my HTC Desire via a official rom. Would be prety amazing tbh!
Isn't that a branded phone? They probably shoved so much bloatware that sense doesn't fit

Funnily enough, their branding consists of a few web-link "apps", and a splash screen on boot up prior to the boot animation. That's it really
More than likely it is just miscommunication

So August can be interesting for us ;D i want to see official ROM for Desire too, it can be amazing fast after tweaks from devs maybe even faster than actually oxygen or cyanogenmod ?
regards, sorry for my poor english
I'd love it, i hate sense and such an update will be much more useful for aosp devs...
Their just gonna re-release Oxygen!

Hate is a strong word, especially when sense is kinda the core of HTCs phones...?

HTC should hire one of our Dev's and show who's boss! If a team of 3 can do it why can' a big organisation like HTC do it, does not make sense!
Does anyone can port Motoblur or touchwiz on Desire HD?
If exists pls tell me the link..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Ugh! Why would you want either one! LOL can we also port over ios as well? Motoblur was okay on my laggy, slow old Backflip, and touchwiz was the first thing I wanted to lose on my Captivate.
Sent from a little blue planet, third from the sun.
But both motoblur n touchwiz were upgraded...I mean motoblur(droid bionic) and touchwiz(galaxy s2). These are not old version one I'm sure that new version is better than old version..

true, have heard touchwiz 4.0 has improved alot, but have also heard that motoblur still sux, even after updates. Had the atrix briefly this spring, and motoblurwas still terrible.

personally, TouchWiz 4 on the Galaxy is absolutely great, greatly improved from previous versions, although I would believe the hardware to be a much more vital factor in allowing better graphics and smoothness of the user interface.
I don't think you can port the full overlay of either because of the frameworks involved. I do know that the touchwiz launcher is available by itself. Just search Google. Ran into this question on galaxy forums lol. They wanted sense instead of touchwiz

Bringin this to life in some hope of new things. Evo has motoblur with some issues link >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254113 <<<<
Anyone think it's possible to bring it over?
Personally think it would be great and would love to see some one do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
well, the new moto UI isnt called motoblur anymore, instead, it's Moto UI, and personally i felt it looked dope especially on the new razr lockscreen, although it cant access to much shortcuts as sense, but it looked dope, LOL!
would there be anyway that someone could make a touchwiz 4 rom, i think that if people can make a sense 3.0 sensation port that so can a galaxy s 2 rom, If i knew anything about rom porting i would be making my own roms, But that aint going to happen any time soon . thanks A.Davies
Touchwiz? Really? Pretty sure that's not gonna happen man

Bleck... I dont want that crap on my phone.

I remember when I had an Evo 4G and someone asked in the forum for it if there was development of a TouchWiz 3 ROM. I about died laughing.
Same applies here. I really don't think you're going to find more than half a dozen people in all of XDA that want TouchWiz on their G2.
Not to mention the fact that I don't think it would be the easiest thing in the world to move the proprietary Samsung TouchWiz things over to an HTC phone.
I can't be the only one to miss it.. don't think a ROM exists but maybe some themes or hell, even the HTC clock/weather widget would be kind of nice.
Anyone else?
Nope.
Sense is a huge resource eater in HTC, why bring it to Gnex?
There are plenty of widgets for that.
Not gonna happen since there aren't any TI based HTC phones.
blasphemy!
Search for themes and apps in the play store and even a simple google search. You can find enough stuff to at least make your phone feel somewhat like sense if you REALLY want that ugliness.
Sense slows down the phone since it is a huge memory hog but your best bet for a sense rom would be taking to the sense4all team if they still exist

They stopped for the Galaxy Nexus even if they still exist.
Were not seeing any other UI's ported for the Gnex except for what we have now(MiUi, Ubuntu, AOSP, any others?)
All u can do is modify the AOSP UI with themes and apps and zip files to make it feel like new UI.

Would be nice if we could get a nice sense launcher on gnex. Having all the sense features isn't really necessary.
