Dev help answer some questions about Sense UI - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Dev and everyones, currently I have mytouch4g. I love Sense and want to get LGX2, is it easier to port Sense to LG firmware? Reason I ask because I never see Samsung galaxy s series, 4G, Nexus S have any Sense port all they have is AOSP rom like CM7, Miui etc... Is it because Samsung use different file system? Can sense be ported to LG? Or should I wait and get Sense phone like Evo 3d, HTC Pyramid?
Thank you

Sense isn't open source, that's why you'll never really see it ported to another device. Pretty much the only option would be to get a Sense phone.

Thanks, so if I decide to get LGX2 or Samsung s 2 I will never see Sense on those phone? Only option is to get HTC phone?

Exactly. It's kind of like how you'll never see MotoBlur or Touchwiz on any non-Moto or non-Samsung device (although I don't know why you would want to with those). The reasons all non-sense roms are AOSP is exactly because it is open source, and can be modified and programmed to cater to specific devices.

Thank you, reason I ask in Evo thread is because you guys have tons of excellent roms and lots of expert users and dev. I hope Evo 3D will have GSM version

[REQ]Touchwiz rom For desire hd

I was hoping someone has A touch wiz rom or if someone will port a touchwiz 4.0 rom?
Bump
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Not to be a buzzkill but I doubt that's gonna happen. Would be a lot more work than its worth. Touchwiz is a Samsung thing like sense is HTC. Devs have been working on a sense port for galaxy s for a long time, and while they do have one now its highly unstable. I imagine it would be the same for us to get touchwiz. I have both and personally would take sense over touchwiz anyday

How to port sense

Im wanting to lean how to port roms to my galaxy nexus ie the ics rezound rom. im new to porting and would like some help like links etc on how to do my best in that area, i think there will be a load of people happy with a sense port as there is none out there at the moment so if anyone know the basics please help
It's not possible. I thought the reason people on XDA bought the Nexus was for AOSP.

Nm, u? Me and swamp are working on it, but no build has booted yet. The epic is much harder to port to. I may be able to help you guys on sense though since I know pretty much what swamp does
Would love to see Sense ported - the more options the better imo!

agree!bought nexus for the absence of proprietary-eat-ram-UI.hate all the stuff involved on the classic ui out there,likes touchwiz,sense,motoblur etc etc.
i don't know why lost hours and hours of development to try to port a thing(proprietary UI)that is the major reason why many users choose to buy a ggogle experience phone.i don't want to be rude,tastes are tastes,but i personally dislike all the uis out there.
anyway,if you desire that,i'm glad to will see that someone will have it workin!

Have to agree with you !
I used HTC phones for over 2 years (before GNEX), and i can say im sick of sense/touchwiz and rest manufacturer ui..
I bought this phone so i can make my own ui.
But if OP likes sense, its his taste/needs.. Good luck in finding sense on gnex mate

I have a Sensation running Sense 3.6/ICS and it's no where NEAR as fast as the Nexus on stock ICS

[Q]Sense 4 project is dead, right?

Guys,
I know there are many posts like this, but to be clear some of those who prefer to stick to desire rather than one x are hoping for sense 4 including me. Unfortunately shaky discontinued his work and no one is interested so I speak for those sense 4 fanatics that we hope this project is continued again, no ETAs no nagging.

I guess some things are too much of a trouble for the devs, think audio was the main issue apart from other stuff of course. And yeah, let it go dude there are already decent ICS roms out there if u want ICS... Btw if you plan on investing in a decent budget phone with Sense 4 I would suggest the One V - bought it for my girlfriend a few months ago and she loves it! And to be quite honest it simply delivers - it is very smooth and fluid, you get the whole sense 4 experience with a very few corners cut, being a few animations here and there and the helicopter view.
I think we can port desire V rom to desire,the spec of desire v is similar than desire
Yes it was a suicide. It didn't find the sense of life.

Htc sense

Is there HTC sense based firmware available for our note-II?
Sent from my Blade using xda app-developers app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183112
That's the theme obviously. Don't know if there are any Sense based roms, seems unlikely.
Well most of the non-HTC phones don't have custom HTC Sense UI...i think that they don't share the sources and codes...
Sent from my Blade using xda app-developers app
Ha ha. I was wondering how long it would be before this thread popped up. Ever single device that doesn't ship with HTC Sense must have one. I'm not sure why people don't just buy HTC phones if they want sense so badly. I'd be the first one to admit that sense is the slickest ui overlay out there but it's just not feasible to go porting it to other devices. It's closed source and just too Damn hard to do.

Past Devs already confirmed it would be useless even trying for XYZ reasons. I don't see what benefits we could get from it.
Now what I would like to see for Wildfire is a working sense3 port.
But tbh I'm just happy to see people are still using the Phone and people such as you are still Deving & theming

I'll try look into sense 3, i know people been waiting a while for the sense 3.5
So i'll try to make one, also we may need a new kernal for the sense 3.5, because the current is in ok condition, but not stabler enough :/
Going to see if i can fix all the issues myself :good:
hmmm, sense 3,5 won't work good. maybe try to play around sense 2.1 first (;

It won't work good, because almost all the apks in the ROM are not ldpi and not compatible with the device, although i'm looking into this further more in development.
I'll try to compile sources from different devices with sense 3.5 which have some ldpi compatible features
