There was talk of IncredibleDoes making a Droid X port for the DINC and EVO, not sure if that's still in the works or not. I don't have the tools or skills needed to do it myself. Anybody like to take a shot?
Err... this has a droidx theme?

I think porting the Droid X system would be VERY difficult. Porting sense to the G1 and N1 wasn't very difficult because they each had a sister phone with sense to port from (Hero and Desire respectively).
Porting the Blur framework would be a whole other beast because the Droid X, 2, etc that feature "Ninja" Blur are very different from a hardware standpoint. The framework has not only the software API stuff for Sense/Blur/TouchWiz but also a lot of the hardware support for things like cell, wifi, camera, bluetooth.
I think we would have a much better chance of people creating clones of the widgets, launcher, etc., the way that people have cloned much of the Sense interface (LP+ widgets, Beautiful Widgets/Fancy Widget Sense clock).

hello i was wondering if there is a ROM that i can run motoblur or the new ninjablur with my evo. i see that its done on the g1 and htc hero but is there one for the htc evo.
Maybe this is just my noobishness, but I thought motoblur was a skin that was thrown over the top of Android. Kind of like Sense. Not just one app but a whole theme? If that's the case wouldn't that have to be a motoblur ROM that has been ported to our phone???
why in the world would you want motoblur?

Actually i just want the widgets that update live like the facebook and all the other widgets. there is a widget called happenings that i like on the motoblur. dont get me wrong i love my htc evo it the best phone out there. i also have an iphone 4 and the evo kills the iphone 4 in my opinion. but i like the happening widget on the motoblur and i saw on youtube it running on a htc hero and thata why i want motoblur. i looked on the market and we cant get the happenings widgets like motoblur. thats why i want motoblur or ninjablur on the droid x. does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get the widgets feature or motoblur for my evo??
Is there no way whatsoever to use HTC Sense Widgets with other launchers? What differences are there between them and normal Widgets, that makes them unusable without the HTC launcher? Can't they be ported?
I am curious too.
although android is open source. HTC Sence is not, htc have spent many hours making sure they wont work with other launchers, and as it is no source code it cannot be ported
I'm sure there is some way of tricking it into thinking that it's the default HTC launcher?

I would say the calendar because I just love the way it works and looks, but LP copied it well, so I'm good.
A lot of work to try and reverse engineer rosie and the widgets. For all we know half the widget code is inside rosie itself which would explain why the widgets only run on rosie.
Maybe someone could invest considerable time in trying to reverse engineer it but why bother? I'm not even sure such an endeavour wouldn't be in violation of copyright law our patent law.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
I guess none will reverse it, since it's totally closed source and the best devs don't use sense at all.
But there arrrrr replacements for nearly all sense stuff in the market. Miui clock and animated weather pro are great replacements for the clock.
Also, if you made the first step to get rid of sense, also take the second and use a non sense rom like cyanogenmod.you will love the speed and added functionality
Swyped with cyanogenmod 7 powered HTC Desire HD. Excuse typos.
Thanx for the info

Hey Guys:
Just trying to understand the app porting better.
Alot of great mods had been created from port of different apk's from other Android devices. I know there is a big difference between ROM that have Sense and no-sense ROMS. Yesterday I tried out the Droid X Messaging App referenced here. It work really well, but I had to uninstall it because of the Force Closing. I think the reason it doesn't work is because the Droid X does not have HTC Sense and its manufactured by Moto, so the app maybe coded differently.
But HTC has a few phones now running Android 2.3. So it would seem even though phones like the Nexus One (Which doesn't have Sense) should be almost coded along the same lines as a HTC phone running Sense, right? Yet alot of the apps don't run very well on Sense based ROMS. Now I know most people hate Sense, but I think its a useful app. I use Sense while I'm work and Launcher Pro on the weekends and evenings (yeah I know it sounds crazy. I know). But I really want to add a few ported 2.3 apps like messaging, etc.
Currently running SprintLovers Rom cause its the closet to stock. But I would like to mod it a bit.
So what I'm wondering is how come there aren't more ported apps available for Sense based Roms?

I could be wrong, but I think it's because of how much the framework differs. I've never tried the messaging app that you referenced, but is it all black? If you're looking for a messaging app that is all blacked out, with white font, the here is a modded one. It is the stock htc messaging app, but themed black, made by JsChirf.

No problem man. I have had no issues with that app at all, and have been using it for a good while now. MMS works fine with it, but it's the same as the stock app. I've never seen how they come through with the Droid x app.
Anyone willing to port over the motorola Blue Blur theme over to our epics? Its the new theme now included in the Droid X, Droid 2, GingerBread release.

[Q] Borrowing from Motoblur possible?
Hello.
I'm considering getting the Epic 4g, but was wondering if it's at all possible to 'borrow' from Motoblur, specific elements at least. I've grown accustomed to using the Motoblur UI (and has become my personal favorite), and making the move to Sprint, would cause a loss from me as Sprint does not offer Motorola Android phones.
The 'elements' I had in mind were:
- UI (Theme, Easy enough to simulate, possibly easy enough to rip)
- SMS/Contacts/Dialer, the whole integration between these apps, possibly. (If not, I would be happy if the SMS app worked on its own.)
- Connected Media Player
- The gallery app that was present in Cupcake - MotoBlur
- the built-in File explorer
I assume the Epic uses the same TouchWiz present on other Samsung phones, and all of the other apps, I can work with.
(I was personally never a big fan of Samsung phones, after owning 4 others, and having quite a number of issues with each. Sprint's Android selection is a little limited however. At least Samsung is higher in my book than HTC or LG. I'm not moving to Sprint for phone selection though, it's the cost benefit.)
EDIT: Move this if you can. The way my mind worked was that I saw the option to make this thread a question *After* the fact, and after I posted, I THEN saw the Sticky about the Q'nA Section. My bad.
...and now I have to wait 5 minutes to repost, so someone might see this before I can catch my mistake.

UI - You can have the blur homescreen by downloading Helauncher from the market, and switching to it in the setings.
Sms - Maybe Handcent sms, go sms, or chomp sms

Hey!
I'm searching for the people apk which was a standard app in HTC sense. I'm running cyanagen mod now and I only have the normal contacts app.
The thing is, the people app from sense could connect the same contacts from different sources. Let's say I have a contact John as a phone, and Facebook and twitter contact. It would sync these and put them as on contact in the list. This is a function I really need..
Does anyone have the apk for it? Or a recommendation for an app that does pretty much the same
Thanx!

i dont think u'll be able to use htc sense people app while running AOSP (or any non-sense rom) because of the framework... dont know bout a third party app, but probably just searching on the play store should show something up

Thank you for replying!
I did search in the play store, but it didn't show anything in that sort. Do you know why it can't play on a AOSP? is it because of the source code? i thought it's just an apk like any other app..
The two main apps that I have heard of are Smartr Contacts (from Xobni) and Contacts + (Contapps) both free on the play store.
Smartr Contacts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xobni.contacts&hl=en
Contacts + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android&hl=en
Check them out, if you find a better one post back and let me know.
Much of the sense framework is different than aosp, cm, aokp, touchwiz, etc. sense apk's need the framework of sense roms to run on a different platform. There are all sorts of apps that people have made that look and act like sense that will work in other roms, I have just never seen the people one, but if you look around you may get lucky. But I have heard that there has been some people able to get some sense apps working just fine on aosp based roms, maybe try finding one of them and see if they could get people to work

Thank you!
I've tried both of them and contapps did exactley what I wanted! It took the different profiles of the same person and placed them in and showed them as one contact.
Smartr contacts is also a nice app but it doesn't take the diffenrent information in one ontact. So if someone placed their phonenumber on let's say facebook, I still didn't have it as his phonenumber in his contact form. Instead it gets the different comunication platforms all together in one screen, so you can communicate with someone specificlay in facebook and twitter at the same time. Not what I was searching for but still nice if you are searching for that.
Everybody else, thank you for replying en helping me
