Just curious as to how difficult it would be or if its even possible/worth it to try at all? I know there are themes but I thought I'd ask anyways and I think it would be bad ass
First off, yes. But it's not that simple.
It's definitely possible, as the Sense UI has been ported a couple of times. The only issue is, you need a dev to do it. And to be honest, nobody shows much interest in the TouchWiz UI, Its just a bad android skin. Probably because of the HUGE list of bugs in the UI and the removal of Google Search in favor of Bing, and other random adjustments. Maybe one or two .apks will be ported, but i just don't see any reason to port TouchWiz other than to screw around. And even if, i would hope it would be a rom from The Epic, Captivate, or Vibrant. The fascinate's software simply blows.
And if it does happen, I will be suprised. It wont be easy, as The Fascinate has very different Hardware than the Incredible.
Try out Touch of Photons 2.2. Its over on alldroid's forum under dinc device stuff. It wont let me post the link here since I'm new. I used it for awhile and everything seems to work. Its not a fascinate port. Just a rom that gives a similar feel. The only thing i know that wont work is the Samsung widget option, but other than that its nice. All your camera stuff will still work since rosie is still in it.

not worth anyone's time to port a 2.1 ROM. When the Fascinate is updated to Froyo then that might change, but as others said the interest in the TouchWiz UI is pretty low
Just saw an unboxing for the Cliq 2 for t-mobile and, well, I'm a big fan of MotoBLUR. Big enough to ditch my Evo? Oh hell to the nizz-o, but I would love it if someone ported MotoBLUR 2.2 to the Evo. Possibly with some themes?
I miss my happenings widget, I'd love to have those back again. Anyone up for it? I know nothing about porting anything or doing anything with Roms whatsoever.
Im not sure if anyone else wants motoblur enough to port it. I had a cliq and I hated motoblur. Just my opinion, but I think aosp and even htc sense is much better. Maybe someone can port 'happenings' for you. I'm guessing that might be a little easier but I dont know if it would work or not

I could live with just the 2 widgets (the one that updates your status, and one of that shows you all the status updates) if not a whole rom port. Who do you think I should ask about it? Or does anyone wanna do it?

honeycomb is MADE for tablets, so don't expect it for our epics .
Is there even a honeycomb "port" of anything that's not a tablet?

not only does the evo have the devs and support but porting on htc phones is so hella easier, samsung does all this random stuff to the framework and such or something that makes everything harder .

Not a developer (well I AM trying, but I am still very new. Like really really new). But why not? We have a good deal of people making ROM's for the epic. And by "weird things to the frame work", do you mean software wise? or hardware/software interfacing? Because if its just software, whoever eventually takes this on, would probably be better suited making the ROM from scratch. Correct?
Things like this are exactly why Google isn't releasing the honeycomb source code (yet). It's made for tablets, not phones. If you get an SDK port working it will run terribly.
Texted while driving
The port to the evo is nothing but a "look it boots".
It is not useful and very laggy, I know because I ran it for all of 5 minutes before nandroiding back.
Yeah I see now that I done a lil more searching around....but do y'all think it might be possible to make a honeycomb home replacement app?

Due to a recent little issue I am having I am doing a clean sweep of my HTC Incredible.
I am currently on CM7, with radio .28 , rooted , unrevoked forever, busybox... you know... things and stuff and things...
I am looking for suggestions for what I should do next.
What ROM?
What Kernel?
What Radio?
I am going on a LONG plane trip very soon so maximizing battery life would be nice without sacrificing too much in the way of power. Or heck, go for max power and show me how to REALLY crank this thing up. Just go with what you feel is the optimal setup so I can give it a try. Thanks for your input!

I wasn't aware of the fact that ROMs actually flashed the kernel as well. I thought that the kernel was something lower than the rom. As for "stock" radio, I can only seem to find posts on modded ones. Any idea as to where I can snag the original one? Thanks!

Well i'm surprised at the amount of replies this has gotten. I've already done the first guy's suggestion and I will say it's pretty snappy. I am doing backups of each setup idea and will post my thoughts on each one.
The first one with Rom-Incredible Reingeneered Z is really quick to respond and has lots of nice features. I'm just not crazy about sense is all. I'd like to smash this with an AOSP ROM for the gallery, launcher, and graphical effects that something like CyanogenMod has. However... I suppose the "Pretty effects" are what causes it to not respond AS quickly. For sure it's being saved away for further toying with ( yay for 16gb memory card! lol )

I'm not sure what graphic effects you're looking for, but Cyanogen has the fancy TV-off animation and when paired with ADW EX, you have fancy screen transitions as well. BTW, CyanogenMod 7.0.2 just came out, I'm flashing it now, I'll see if it's as stable as the latest nightlies.
EDIT: Seems that video recording isn't working on 7.0.2, I'm going with nightly #56.

Hm, it seems weird that the radio would affect the camera but hey if it works! Also I know some people use the MIUI camera, perhaps video recording works on that? Let us know how 7.0.2 works out. I rarely ever record video but like to have it available if needed.

1) that is ics
2) ive kinda given up on booting ics sense on this phone as its closest cousin the inc s has a port but its way too broken to use as a daily (if more improvements are made ill get back at it)
3) we will eventually get ics sense, id imagine through a RUU leak way once it hits vzw testing servers
Do we even have a kernal to port against? I've played around with the DIS Rom, but I haven't gotten anything to boot on it.
Hope vzw leaks that ruu soon or someone builds a kernel to support porting...

i tried hacking up the cm9 ramdisk against changes that nik made to the inc s one to boot ics sense on that particular phone...but to no avail
frankly given the state of all ported ics sense roms on wvga phones, its not worth the time and effort really imo
the *only* ported one running on a .35 kernel that seems to be running well is the pyro series on the mt4g slide....but honestly its about as different a phone from ours as possible being htc (porting bullet was headache inducing)
unless one of our kernel guys really takes a run at making it work, i dont think ill personally put it any more effort just to get a semi functional rom going that can't be used on a regular basis
Sense 3.6 is really nothing special. They just made some slight improvements over 3.5 on ICS. Like fixing the browser text buttons at the top, simple things like that. Now Sense 4.0, that's where it's at. Played with it for a few minutes on my phone, and man is it nicer. Even just down to the skins, they theme way more of the system than ever before, even the keyboard finally. And the keyboard is a darker color now too, like the notification pulldown, plus the trace feature works 1000x better, and you can use it in any text field you want.

Then again, our MSM7x30 line is still considered main-line supported hardware, and it would be easier for them to just base it all of them on same Android version, since ICS is such a big difference from Gingerbread, and it ALL has to be re-written from the ground up.
Just gotta hope.
I'm really excited either way. Especially because the official updated drivers will make running ICS a possibility for me again.

I'd hope so too, but it seems as if the manufacturers aren't really interested in making wvga anymore, only qhd, and 720p now. Isn't the incredible s getting an official update first? I honestly don't think HTC is even going to have Sense 3.6 pushed to any device, it's just a little polish over 3.5, which is exactly the same as gingerbread Sense 3.5 and Sense 4.0 will be their main goal, because it's much more refined, and takes full advantage of what ics can do. In my opinion, It's the best version of sense to date.
I can post pictures of any particular part of 4.0 if you guys want me to
