Develop Bugs

[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

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

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.

Moving to General

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.

Touchwiz 4.0?

Can anybody please port a working touchwiz 4.0 to this phone? I know I lot of people don't like it, but I do. Thanks.

its been discussed before...but the entire oem skin will not be possible on htc (well reasonably possible)
there is a universal touchwiz launcher out there though for all phones including aosp

Yeah, but I can't get the touchwiz widgets to work on it.

Awww. I really like it.

Buy a Samsung phone

Yeah, Samsung decided to split their framework into two separate files. As such, anything dependent on framework from Samsung is a bear to port over.

Yep gotta love the old twframeworkres. Apk lol

honestly its not much different than what htc, moto, and lg have done at different points (com.htc.resources.apk, blur-res.apk, and i forget what lg named theres)
fwiw resources is the most difficult to deal with because it contains so much of the entire sense framework in it
samsung is looking like its moving away from twframework-res as in gingerbread, virtually nothing is used from it except system colors

I hope the Nexus Prime has TW4 or at least Sammy releases one that does similar to the GS2

HTC Sense

What do you guys think of it? Personally, I prefer it to TouchWiz, but I chose the S3 because of the removable battery and the disaster that was the Evo 3D. I'm currently taking programming at school, learning Java and C# and was considering working on porting Sense 4.0 from the Evo LTE to the Sprint S3 as my first ROM. What do you guys think? Worth it or not?

Do it! Do it!!! :beer::beer: But maybe wait till sense 4+ is on the Evo. So you'll be the greatest for porting the latest or maybe do both, I'm sure you have seen people asking for lower sense versions on newer devices. Yea, Idk why either :sly::what:

The S3 is my first non HTC smartphone. I really thought I would miss HTC Sense. I do not miss it.
If you think you can port sense, go for it. It might be interesting to see.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Extremely tough but isnt impossible whatsoever. I would have to say that not too many people would run it after too long due to the fact that Sense 4.0 and up has horrific multitasking compared to TW along with us having an extra GB of RAM and at the same time Sense is also configured and modified to focus on foreground apps. I own both devices and it really is a GIGANTIC difference.

I say do it. It would just give us something more to mess with and I'm not about to bash that.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Sense used to be good on evo4g. But with evo3d and lte, it's gotten so overbloated and laggy, it's not worth it.

I left the EVO LTE because of how horrible sense was.. its was way too laggy and it takes more steps to accomplish simple tasks. Just my opinion, but definitely go for porting it, nothing is wrong with flashing choices.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I just picked up the s3 a couple days ago. I had the hero, evo, 3d and lte. I was gonna flip the s3 for profit. Within 4 hours of playing with it I activated it and the s3 blows the evo out the water. Sense is great so is HTC but tw is great and Samsung is superior
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I like sense but htc makes it so hard to root there phones now and once root is found they update to new bootloader. I had my evo 3d for almost a year befor I had root. My sgs3 never had to wait. So getting a sense port would be B.A. Im getting used to tw again but it still bugs the crap out of me.

Yes HTC is a little tricky. But its not impossible to root HTC devices,actually you don't even have to s off,there are other methods as well. To be honest I don't think rooted HTC phones belong to the average user. You probably have to be adb/fastboot savy if you know what I mean.

I love Sense and dearly miss it if I'm being honest. I do love my GS3 for its power though..so, to me, a Sense port would be bad ass..best of both worlds.

I was using go launcher and deleted it within a hour it was to kuch advertising, it wanted me to download all this **** lol but I like adw ex its amazing thing is with go launcher there are like two million themes if you don't mind me asking do you use go launcher and all of the go addons like weather task manager etc
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

In every device (I have seen it running on) Sense UI has always been the Memory Hog: Destroyer of Batteries. It was the primary reason I invested soooo much time in rooting the OG Evo.
Other than that, it is a slick, unified, and visyally appealing UI.
If you were looking to develop it... this would be the perfect device for it: ~2gig RAM = best platform for the Hog.

Actually,sense 4 on the evo lte seems to use less ram then apex launcher. Honestly sense from the OG evo and the new evo are not nearly the same in terms of stability and speed

I use Go Launcher specially for MIUI icons and the gestures. I am using this milisitic theme now I love it! I don't use anything else. No games or apps that come with it and no widgets.

If you are running cm10 or aokp JB you should run the sense 4 theme

I've used MIUI on a few devices. I never liked it much. Its merely ok IMO. I just stick with rooted stock on my GN2. I've tried JellyBomb and its just ugly lol.

The way we have the Sbrissen thread I would put up some money if a DEV who OWNS this phone will make a stable version of MIUI. I would not donate to someone porting this who does not actually have the Sprint GN2. Anyway, I guess it's a dead point because there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to take on the task.

The way everybody talks about Jelly bomb, its the best thing since sliced bread. Although I have it on my phone, I too think its the ugliest rom I have ever seen. The only reason I have it now, as there is a lack of anything else, atm.
I never used Miui, and would probably never use it. This phone really needs more Roms, period

I'd totally be down to run MIUI.

[q] aosp + tw?

so, i recently switched phones, i had the evo 4g, and now ive got the epic 4g touch. With the evo, i hated sense, despised it, it was super intrusive and overall crappy looking to me. But TouchWiz is pretty awesome in my opinion. On the Evo, I used AOSP roms to get rid of sense. I want to try 4.2 jellybean, but i dont want to lose touchwiz, so whats stopping me form flashing a 4.2 AOSP rom, then a touchwiz launcher zip over that? would that work at all? sorry if this makes zero sense, i dont really have an excuse though....

Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. It is laced in throughout the entire OS.
If you want a really good ROM use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025466 It is my daily driver.
Please make sure you read the entire OP and the first couple posts right after. It will also do you goo to go through the entire thread. We have a ton of tips and tricks in there for this ROM.
As of right now, 4.2 is still in its alpha stages and very buggy. Not worth using as a daily driver at this time.

Haha I'm actually using jelly verse now, it really is the best out right now, I think. Thanks for your advice, too.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I beg to differ. This is the best thing out ;p
Once Jelly OTA hit's there will be a version of it.
But that's why this place is great. Lot's of options to suit your need's.

Dont worry you will get tired of Touchwiz soon.

I personally love it. I just removed anything that I don't need.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

So far? Even though it's ICS, it's the latest official OTA, and tweaked and customized with features no rom here can offer. Don't like the kernel, pick a new from right in the rom. Don't like there being a clock in the statusbar? Get rid of it, from right in the rom. Need some new fonts? Themed apps? DOnt want some of those bundled apps? Hell, you can customize it before you even install it. You can really feel the love put into the rom by the developer. I personally can't wait for a jelly version, but until I see the OTA, I am going to.

Why do you say that? I was a little unsure about it after sense. I was deadset on getting AOSP right away, but I turned the phone on and was like, hey, this isn't so bad. I've used nova, holo, adw, and go launcher...but I like touchwiz a lot better than any of those, minus the fact you can't hide icon labels on touchwiz. Might be the only drawback
