Hey i was wondering if anyone was looking at porting the Samsung Epic Launcher and widgets onto the HTC EVO. I think the interface is pretty slick and think it would be fun to play with on the EVO.
Thanks in advance

this should be in the Q&A section. I beleive it uses touch wiz which has already been ported to the evo (though i could be wrong) also there is an Epic theme in the theme/app forum that gives it a similar look. for the app bucket you can use ADW to get the slide to side version.
if so i would really like to get on board with the entire project and learn how something like this is accomplished.
Simply search for Android Launcher...I'm positive its the same

A friend of mine is getting a HTC Touch Pro2.
What cool things can you do with it?
You might want to look around the forum and do some searches. There are tons of mods and software, too much to listr in a reply. Do the homework and you'll find this is one of the most customizable phones out there.
Tell your friend to look for himself.
my gf is and i am trying to root her phone and she wants a hello kitty theme but these forums all tho they seem organized since there has been so much developing...it also is all over the place so if anybody can tell me if there is a certain section for girls with evo's I myslef am a EPIC user so i got alot on my plate so if someone can direct me in the right way thanks.

Uhh, you're asking if we have a special board just for female evo users? Really??
Themes can generally be found in the themes section. Since you know, that's where themes go.

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone was going to port sense for the epic now that the source code is out.
Thanks
I second this, I really want a sense port for the Epic, that would be awesome!!!!
Third here. I'd Never used a Sense UI before but i would love to try it. Looks cool
Fourth here
sent from my Epic 4G
lol, this is turning out to be a request thread. any more people requesting this?
The group of devs who were already in the process of porting sense to the Epic should have a much easier time, if I remember right they were going by Galaxy SENSE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826144
Galaxy Sense, not common sense, lol
Here is the link to the one I found. I hope they continue the project because sense on this device would be just plain awesome!!!!
Yes, it would be hella nice of someone to port the mytouch 4g rom to the epic too
I'd like to have Sense on my phone, as long as the widgets came with it.
im not from this forum but i really want an epic, so ive been watching. But back to my point, why to try to get the evo shift rom? just cuz its 2.2 i think, and already has kb support? is it cuz its sooo much smaller than the epic? sorry if i seem like a super noob lol
Because the Evo shift has nothing in common with the Epic from a hardware standpoint (Different processor, antenna, etc.), it would be like trying to mix Lego's and Mega Blocks
Hmmmm... which Sense ROM would be easiest to port then?????? No HTC Devices have the Hummingbird processor and totally different specs, maybe a Desire Z ROM or something similiar would be good
Everyone was saying when the froyo source came out....
sent from my Epic 4G
They didn't say the next day after, these things take time
do any developers want to partake in this project?
This would be a major achievement for the epic.
Thanks
my opinion, why do u want sense? Its slow on all the incredibles on custom roms and evos, Why not be more creative and use launcher pro and customize everything!
Sense and touchwiz= Bloatware!!
it is not that much slower
Its not slow at al, in fact I see no lag in sense or touchwiz roms. I've never had to wait for an application to open or ever experienced force closes. Sense is highly embedded, from widgets to applications and offers a great user friendly ui. And there's no harm done porting sense, its not like people who don't want it have to use it. You know what I mean?
Should I try requesting this in the development form? Or keep it here till a dev sees? Lol sorry if I'm annoying anyone, I really want to see a sense port
DO NOT REQUEST this in the dev forum, there is already a group working on it and nagging them won't make it happen faster, patience is a virtue.
Ok thanks, but I just want to confirm:
there really is a team already working on porting sense? Sweet!!!
Hello,
I am organizing a team of developers to port sense to the Samsung Epic. Does anyone want to help???
Please Reply to this thread if you are interested. Once we get enough developers, we will discuss what ROM we should use as a base and start working on it.
Thanks

im not sure how u would go about doing it... but feel free to put me down for helping u out if u need help.
Shouldn't this be posted in the Epic forums? Also, not to come off as an asshole, but if you wanted Sense, you should have bought an Evo.
Thanks, a bunch, I am looking for 3-5 more people to carry out the load evenly.
We will then decide what ROM should we use as a base and start the work!!!!

Well, I have also posted this in the Epic forums, just am looking for developers who know how to deal with sense as well, so I posted this on the Evo forums. I used to have an Evo, but switched to the Epic due to the need of a keyboard. Enough with that, are there any more developers who would like to help?
Thanks

Just a thought to port the EVO shift may be good due to slide out keyboard they both have. Will be a tough port due to such different screens. I'm not too good with this but willing to try with kitchen. My wife has a epic maybe she will let me test some.
I know she wants sense on it.

Evo Shift Rom is good, but I was thinking more Desire Z, but its not final yet, it depends on what the team decides. We will discuss everything once we get enough members. If you are willing to volunteer, please reply to the thread.
Thanks
Desire Z is a GSM phone, therefore it will have some issues like no 4G. Myn just realized Warm Z TwoPointTwo which has some issues like no 4G and no EPST. I would suggest going with the Evo Shift if you're going to port a ROM.
Ok, I will keep that in mind. Are you also helping out with the ROM or just wanted to add a suggestion?
Thanks

Cease and Desist from HTC's lawyers arriving in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1.
it is a good idea..
but.. sounds like a huge mountain to climb over...
cpu, gpu, screen, and so many different hardware.. for you to redo to work.
good luck..
Am I the only one that finds it a little ironic that Epic devs are trying to get Sense while EVO devs spend their time getting rid of it?

The screen is the least of their concerns when porting something like this. The framework that HTC uses is completely different than Samsung. Samsung uses a different type of filesystem that might have issues with Sense, blah blah blah...
There are a million things working against porting a ROM like this. There was a Sense port for the Droid 1 at one point but it was a tremendous PITA.
Hi guys, I'm having a little confusion and i need a little help
I just purchased an Evo Design 4G for Boost mobile, Where can i find a write up to root it on OS X Mountain Lion.
Also how would i go about installing rom, is it still considered a normal Evo under the forums as in can i install the normal EVO 4G Roms on this?
Thanks any help would be appreciated
Just saw that the normal 4G ons won't work on the design. Now i just need the Root Write up for OSX
Id look for the design forums as its nothing like our evo 4g

I think might work the same way as windows. you just need to know how to move around directories such as folders. Good Luck. I would highly recommend using a friends computer or use a Virtual Machine.
Man what's up with all the evo design questions lately? Someone needs to make these guys their own subforum so maybe they can get some development going on and have a place to hang out, poor confused souls. They bought HTCs red headed step child and can't even find a place to talk about it anyways Google is your friend one of the other forums has a guide to root the design but as far as I know there's precisely 0 custom roms for it. Once you root it tho you could use uot theme kitchen online to make youself a theme to change the look, or read up on doing it the old fashioned manual way of decompiling and recompiling the systemui and framework apks
We are legion, for we are many.

Okay, so i did what's best :laugh: and sold the Evo design on Ebay and just purchased and Evo 3D (For Virgin Mobile but Sprint Branded)
How do i go about THAT one? Do i install normal Rom's on it like a regular Evo 3D?
Sorry for all the questions guys, I'm always pretty talented (have been messing/flashing etc etc phones since back to the iDen days) but these offloaded, extra stock, second hand company misfits always confuse me because of the low level of development for them. God i miss my Nexuses already >_<
