I'm just being honest here, I have always read that TouchWiz is the worst thing you can do to your poor android. I have seen countless posts here hating on TW. Never tried it myself, but given it's reputation of being pure **** I can't imagine too many people would swap a Sense Rom(which seems to have a rep as being the only OEM mod of Android worth using) for a TouchWiz one(which most people here seem to hate). Just saying.

I dont think they will hate Touchwiz 4.0 with live tiles..what I really like about the Samsung Roms is the color and Look very very stylish.

IMHO just try to get a working TouchWiz launcher. I know TouchWiz is like Samsung's Sense, but there is an older TouchWiz launcher APK floating around on the 'net, I used it on my Nexus One, once.
The new one is nice, though. I have played with it on my wife's Epic. I'd use it.

Probably not, these are new age modders who think just because they have a certain device it should come with all bells and whistles that take a good 6 months to develope. Did I mention they want it now!!!

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.

Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.

Yeah I think we just have to be patience

I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.

Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!

what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.

I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.

Where did u hear that from

Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

Wow... you guys are patient.

So, I have been eyeing this phone as well as Samsung phones in general for quite some time. I have to say, you guys have been more the patient in your wait for an official ICS release. This kind of delay doesn't fly for HTC users... and from what I am seeing, the HTC EVO 3D will likely release ICS before this phone... which is very surprising to me. But the most surprising thing is that there is no animosity over here about that.
You guys impress me.

Well the leaks we have received are definitely stable enough to hold us over. The majority of us are waiting for the kernel source to be released!

2 different companies doing the same kind of work. Nothing says one will beat the other. The job is done when its done.

Ive had ICS on this since the day I got the phone. Basically used an upgrade from another line I had so I could get the hell away from Evo3D. I was always an HTC fanboy but that device is the biggest POS I've ever had the pleasure of owning. And went through 4 of them (Had since launch). Waiting to see what happens by Nov to see what happens next.

There is something called life, and people live it. Why waste time waiting for ics when there are so many other activities to do besides pimping your phone?

I own both phones. Until the recent virgin mobile leak for the Evo 3D, the Evo didn't even have a decently working ICS build. For the longest time the dual camera setup prevented working cameras in any ICS build and even to this day there isn't a single AOSP rom that isn't without major missing features.
The E4GT was much better off than the Evo 3D for the past few months and to be honest it still is since the only 100% functioning ICS build on the Evo right now is sense 3.6 based which just doesn't compare to sense 4.0. Yes official ICS may release first for the Evo, this will indeed greatly improve the phones ****ty original sense 3.0 gingerbread setup but it will still only be sense 3.6. Yuck.
Trust me, I've got no reason to hate on the Evo, I've always been an HTC guy and own an Evo 3D afterall.

O yea the evo design and 3d already have ics

I had the evo 3d and it was probably the worse phone ever. Too many hardware problems with a really bad design and HTC supposed to have good build quality lol. Sense 3 kind of made it slow for a dual core. I have yet to use sense 3.6 but it looks ugly.

I thought the same thing. I swore by htc since my apache lol but the 3d made me switch to samsung.
And samsung users are more mature than htc users. Htc forums were always full of drama

I've been running ICS since February on the e4gt, but to be honest, I really don't find a big difference between it and gingerbread. Really just incremental upgrades. So, I really don't understand the huge clamor for ICS from the user side, when it's more of a boon for Google and the manufacturers who can use a single release on both their phones and their tablets.

Oddly enough, I was wondering this exact same question as I have always wanted to try out Sense. I kind of figured there wouldn't be though. :/

Not trying to troll but just curious, if you want HTC sense why wouldn't you just buy an HTC phone? IMO sense sux, yea has a nice look but bogged down my past 2 HTC devices. I'll take performance over looks any day.

+1 I agree while sence is very nice looking and has some even better looking Widgets I've always seem to think it boggs down the phone. This is my first of 5 phones that's not HTC and I've always found myself flashing aosp roms to them.

I've actually wondered this myself, why no one ever ports sense roms to other phones. I understand why many would not want that, but there are those who would. Is it a technical issue that prevents this? Like some sort of kernel or framework thing that prevents Sense from working on non-HTC phones.

you answered your own question lol.
It's not a simple port. It's pretty much the same reasons why cm9 AOSP AOKP isn't fully functonal.
it takes a lot of work to get bits and pieces to start working. Most Developers want clean slate ROMs that's where CM9 AOSP and AOKP comes in.
Unfortunately/fortunately for us, there isn't a developer in the t989 forum that likes sense enough to put their time and effort into porting... more like building... sense for our phone. They also don't want to risk bricking their phone.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
