Motoblur on G2? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone going to port the cliq 2's motoblur over to the G2? I know the G1 got the orignal cliq's motoblur.

Use adw launcher and get a theme, i can guarentee that's the closest you're going to get to motoblur. Haha.

I can't decide which makes me more nauseus, the idea of porting MotoBlur to the G2, or the thread from the guy who wanted to port WinMo 6.5 to the G2.

Although motoblur has gotten a lot better than what it was, and doesn't look too bad on phones coming out like the atrix and the bionic, i would NOT port it over to my phone that doesn't already have it. Haha.

seriously? motoblor was one of the main reason to return the milestone 2 and get a desire z, well aside from the constant strange noise when playing mp3s ...

I really hope not, id rather not see it on the forum at all motorola should just scrap it!

Yes hopefully someone can figure out how to put motoblur on our phones and then after that they can figure out how to lock our bootloaders.

Well said young grasshopper.

I still use my Cliq from time to time. As much as I like MOTOBlur, I feel it's nothing more than bloatware. CyanogenMod runs pretty close to Blur. Why not just use that ROM?

I just want to ask, but i like motoblur. If anyone can port please due. I have a cliq and would like to see the new motoblur.

Trust me, no one is going to port that POS.

Why be so hard on the kid, he just asked a question...
Your best best is to pick up LauncherPro or ADW and customize it to look like Blur. Blur is a framework that runs deep into Android; it can't easily be ripped out and put on the G2. And XDA has been an HTC-centric forum for years; it's not a kind place to anything non-HTC. No one here will bother to do it.
And Christ people, chill out. There are a lot worse questions to be asked.

Miui rom

I just flashed the Miui rom on my g2. It is bad ass! Has any one else tryed it? Miui with sense I think would be even better! I love the sense Widgets! Is there a way I can get sense Widgets on there now or do I have to wait for the rom to be rebuilt with sense? And if so is any one working on that yet?

we cant like miui and like the open source end of android phones?
(IE: you are an idiot)
i dont have the hatred for apple or its product, but muiu looked waaay too much like an iphone. But I really just couldnt get over that there was no apparent app drawer. To each their own, and I dont believe at this time any dev is working on blending sense with muiu.

Fact: MIUI's entire reason of existance is to make your android phone look like an iphone.
Haters gonna hate.

sooooo making an graphic user interface look like something else means you should go out and get that something else even though the functionality is entirely different?
Pardon me but do all of the other device threads have as many jack asses as the G2/Dz threads?

Check the Vibrant forums. You'll be happy you have the G2.
And in response to the post, I haven't tried MIUI myself, but I have a friend who absolutely loves it. I like having Cyanogen just because it looks stock. I've been using the Android OS since version 1.0 with the G1, and I've grown comfortable with the layout.

Sidekick 4g UI will there be a port OR Blur UI just for fun??

will someone port? :] looks pretty cool but kinda laggy due to the fact its basiclly touchwiz but sidekick apps like group n cloud app ports would be cool just my thoughts... anyone else like this idea i mean we only got stock,sense,miui,liquid,and a bit other but some mainstream roms like blur and sidekick would be fun to play with? no?
I don't know about the whole ROM, but being able to add the Jump Key functionality to current ROMs would actually be very nice!
Yeah ik what u mean jump button is ehhhhh I mean if ur like meh can replace my search buttons and I don't mind the ui just the apps uk cuz I think the group texting and I'm apps it comes with are cool I wonder what other ppl think
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
So my friends bought the new sidekick... I personally didnt like it but the UI was somewhat interesting. You can try Magics blur port but its still needs some stuff to work on.

[Q] Am I alone in wanting....

see someone here try to port Touchwiz to an Incredible 2?
I know there are CM7 Skins.... but I don't want AOSP.
This should probably not be in development.
And to answer your question, yes, yes you most likely are.
The only desirable thing touchwiz has for me is the music control in notification area and omfgb has that so I'm good lol. Love to see em in the sense roms tho

You are very much alone.
Wrong forum but I agree. I think Touchwiz 4.0 is beautiful.
I kinda like touchwiz, I just like sense a lot better
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
touchwiz 4 *theme* might be nice sure...the entire skin itself...ugh
Yes. Yes you are.
I wouldn't use it just because its called touchwiz. Sounds like a child molester at Hogwarts.
I would absolutely love touchwiz on here id use it daily

TouchWiz is one of the reasons I don't use my Droid Charge...
You may in fact be alone here.. I had a Samsung Fascinate and if it wasn't for the development community I would have been completely turned off from the Droid system.. I thanked the Droid God's when my Fascinate crapped itself and I was able to get a DINC2 for a replacement.. Almost made me switch to an iPhone.. Sends chills down my spine.. $0.02 !!
its probably never gonna happen touchwiz is heavily tied into the framework much like sense is. while a few Samsung phones have a sense port they are far from fully functional. I imagine it would be the same the other way around. not saying it can't be done but I believe it would be much more trouble than its worth
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
Yep the fascinate almost drove me to an ifone too. Thankfully it had some good developers. And thankfully the inc2 showed me how awesome android was again...good riddance to anything made by Samsung.

I fell in love with HTC with the Eris, loved my inc1, and loving my inc2. I can only hope that HTC produces a phone in the future smaller than 4.3' screen.. Just too big for me. I'd personally like a 3.8' screen. But what can ya do. They seem to actually be getting bigger. 4.65' for a phone is just crazy to me.

Well considering the fact that the new Galaxy S2 has neon support it actually might be possible. It would have to be a full RUU type of ROM because the framework would have to be totally changed. Id say its possible though.

Its not really downgrading your phone its just a different UI. And technically Touchwiz is probably faster considering it doesnt have near the bloat and is a lot closer to AOSP than Sense is.

WP7 on Android?

Is there or will there be a WP7 rom for Android devices? Been checking some videos on WP7 and although it does seem a bit boring to me I'm also very curious about it. Just thought I'd ask around about and if anyone has any thoughts on WP7. Is it good?
Sent from my HTC G2 XDA App
My understanding (not being a developer) is that porting Windows Phone 7 to other platforms would be extremely difficult. Its closed source, so MS does not make the source code available, making it very difficult to port. Its not impossible, but would be an enormous amount of work to get it running on an Android phone like the G2. And to this point, developers have not been interested in taking on such a project.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: Buy a WP7 phone.
Yea I know but its not even close to a full experience. As expected being it is a launcher. I downloaded it and uninstalled it all within one minute. Lol

Well don't want to just jump to a whole other phone without testing it. Lol. I like Android too much to just jump ship completely. A WP7 rom would be nice but as stated above it would be tough to do and apparently not too many ppl asked for it.. Now all I can hope for is a Nexus Prime on T-Mobile. If T-Mobile doesn't receive the Nexus Prime then I am completely stuck on which phone I want next. Love my G2 but am getting a bit bored of it.

Well no one is really asking for it because if you want WP7 that bad then they just get a WP7 device. Not to mention that it would be extremely hard to do this.
Try one out. If you dont like it, then return it

I hope I didn't sound like I wanted a WP7 phone I was just curious about the OS. It seemed a bit boring but the fact that its new and original makes me want to give it a shot.. I don't see myself ever leaving Android. Android has sucked me in. Lol. Just Curious. But still stuck on what phone to get for T-Mobile. Thinking about the Hercules(badass phone) but if I get that and the Nexus Prime winds up coming to T-Mobile I'm going to go on a shooting rampage....... In GTA. Great frustation reliever. Lol. J/k

[req] [dev] Anyone Care To Help Port?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233863
I am not sure if I am doing this right because I do not generally post links. If this is wrong, please remove it as I did not intend to disobey the rules. Now, this was the last rom I was running on my Hero before I got this beast of a phone. I loved this rom and I thought the apps were themed greatly. I am not a fan of iOS, but to me it does look clean and served as something fresh. I feel with the many different ports of ics, whether it be from sprint leaks or from aosp, that something fresh would be awesome. Swamp is doing a great job chipping at Sense, and I think it would be nice to have something else new and exciting. Personally, I am not a dev and would have no clue about how to go about porting this, but if a dev could work on this or at least teach me the basics of how to do it, that would be amazing.
Dear god, why would you want that garbage on your phone. You want iOS? Just open your app drawer. Tada! IOS!
I care less about the launcher as I obviously could use any replacement launcher. I like the look of the music, messaging, and other basic apps.

Thats why xda is such a great community. There even a JB dev thread over in the HeroC forums. I'll probably have my old hero on 4.1 before my E4GT.
I originally rooted androids cauze i got tired of my hero running Cupcake when Froyo was in the works. Crappy carriers make great catalysts.

They even finally got MIUI running on the HeroC. Hence the reason I love this community so much. The Hero ended up getting Froyo, GB, Honeycomb, ICS, JB, and god only knows what else can be done.
