would there be anyway that someone could make a touchwiz 4 rom, i think that if people can make a sense 3.0 sensation port that so can a galaxy s 2 rom, If i knew anything about rom porting i would be making my own roms, But that aint going to happen any time soon . thanks A.Davies
Touchwiz? Really? Pretty sure that's not gonna happen man

I remember when I had an Evo 4G and someone asked in the forum for it if there was development of a TouchWiz 3 ROM. I about died laughing.
Same applies here. I really don't think you're going to find more than half a dozen people in all of XDA that want TouchWiz on their G2.
Not to mention the fact that I don't think it would be the easiest thing in the world to move the proprietary Samsung TouchWiz things over to an HTC phone.

Hi all chefs
Is it possible to cook a Samsung Galaxy S ROM for the HTC Desire? The applications are available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7201890#post7201890 And the Samsung Glaxy S Android development forum has some custom ROMs, so I guess the source or something is available for our beloved chefs
If not a total ROM port are feasible because of the big differences in hardware, at least a Desire ROM with most of the apps and widget cooked in would be great!
Anyone up for the challenge?
We already have the Galaxy launcher and apps...i don't think there is much need for a rom. Other than samsung widgets i suppose?

Hum did I miss something? D: where are the apps?
Someone posted them in the themes/apps section.
why do you even want to do that? sense is much superior than touchwiz in my opinion

Actually I posted the apps in the themes and apps section, but non of the apps seems to work on the Desire, or has there been any progress regarding that issue? Especially some of the widgets and apps are interesting.
I got rid of my Galaxy S for the Desire because TouchWiz is terrible. Why would you want to replace Sense with that?
Touchwiz is crap.

Well, actually only the following apps are of special interest:
FM RDS Radio
WriteandGo
I tried to install them, but it didn't work.
I would like those apps and the music app because it looks awesome

We don't want any Samsung rubbish around here. This is the HTC Desire forum.

Hah Samsung makes good screens!
They should stick to what they do best, making visuals! They are one of the best for displays I think we'd all agree, leave the high-end business mobile phone department to people that have been in the business for years.. like HTC. Sense really makes these devices stand out on the home screens alone.
I agree but it would be nice to have a play with some of their application they have designed.

I have forgotten a lot but if I recall it correctly, there is a mod for AOSP ROM to get the touchwiz.
Better ask the other more about this.
out of interest why would you want touchwiz?
almost everyone with a Galaxy S I know doesn't want it either

It is true. I have played for a couple of minutes with the Galaxy S2 and beside the speed due to better hardware, I didn't impressed at all.
I own a Desire and a SGS2 and I have to admitt that TouchWiz4 impresses me a lot more than Sense.

from what ive seen, touchwizz is more functional and more customizable than sense which only 'looks nice' but i dont think it does look that nice
guess it is simply an individual matter
i never tried touchwiz, from what ive seen on videos it doesnt really make me want a SGS2.
one desire developer, baadnewz, recently bought SGS2 but he sold it very soon after and bought HTC Sensation reason: "cant live without sense"
so like i said, everyone likes what he/she likes
It's not that I don't like sense I just wanna try something different. I sometimes get tired of the look of sense and wanna try Touchwiz out. Is it just me or is sense just getting boring their are just so many devices with it on them its no longer fresh.
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
If you are bored of Sense and wanna try something new, why don't you try MIUI or AOSP?
Note:
It is also true that I tend to prefer Sense over MIUI, Moto-Blur or Touchwiz.
Isn't Blur dead now?
didn't Moto even rename it?
I will also be trying MIUI after my device is able to be rooted.

I was hoping someone has A touch wiz rom or if someone will port a touchwiz 4.0 rom?

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

I owned a Sony xperia x8 prior to this nexus and I loved it.. People in xda tried a lot to port sense on to x8 but failed to do it fully as lack of rom space...
Well now we have 1 gig of rom so I don't think we'll have less space or that.
Have people here tried porting sense 4.1 to our nexus?? It would look so beautiful here.
If no one has.. Please try now.
Or I have done some development in android.. Would love to learn.. Can you guide me to the place I can learn to make a sense rom?

Yes, without apparently success. Use the search in development section.
There's a couple of other threads discussing the same thing right now. The short answer, if I understand correctly, is that the technical difficulties involved are more than most devs want to tackle. Sense was never written to operate on this hardware, so the job of porting it over would be huge. In addition, Sense is closed source, so without access to any of the Sense source code the job gets even harder.

Just don't think there's enough interest.
http://www.sense4all.info somewhat got it but they said porting sense 3.5 will be easier so I think they're doing that right now. Maybe.
No offense, but why not just by a HTC device?
Just as the title says im looking for a good sense rom for our gn2. Please point me in the right direction.

...you do know that sense is only for HTC phones right... and it is closed source so porting sense to a non-HTC phone would cause the dev to get into legal problems and not only that but it is near impossible to do it because the phones are too different. so in short there is not Sense based rom for our phones.
Depending on what custom Rom you use, not tw based. You can get your phone to look like a sense. I've done it practically mirrored the HTC.one x. Themes and launchers can do this

I've seen it done for other phones but it isn't worth the trouble tbh
Agreed Crixley...
Sense seemed to make more problems than it solved for me...
And after 3 HTC devices. ...I converted to this device. ..and IMHO....Touchwiz just kills sense without question. ...g
