Hey I did some searches and couldn't turn up any solid answers to my questions but is it possible and likely we would get a port of the sense rom to galaxy nexus or is there a reason i don't see a stable version in CDMA Development?
Its possible but unlikely. Most people buy nexus devices to get away from skins.

If it is ported it's likely to be broken.

I don't really see the point of porting Sense to a Nexus device. I mean, since it wasn't originally to this device, it will be buggy and probably never run smoothly. Sense is very beautiful, in my opinion, but it's bloated beyond usage.
On a completely unrelated note, my favorite two ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus are AOKP for its customizability, and CM9 for being, well, CM9.
True that, thanks for all your imput! I guess also since sense is HTC it would also work easier if it wasn't a samsung...I just thought it would be interesting if you could have the launcher and widgets minus the bloatware apps.

I like simplicity at its best.
I can recommend buying Beautiful Widgets!
For those saying a sense port would never work on a nexus or would run buggy check out the nexus s 4g dev section.
I just switched to a gnex but I believe if they did it on the ns4g it would never be impossible to do it here

It's not possible. I thought the reason people on XDA bought the Nexus was for AOSP.

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

the question is:
WHY?
Why is this in the Galaxy Nexus section? Should be moved to the Nexus S general section. In any case, seems like a stride in the backward direction.

I agree that this shouldn't be in galaxy nexus general. But if we got a GB sense port, we would all flash it by curiosity.

Unfortunately I believe he meant to post it here, in hopes of more excitement. Since the nexus s folks are probably well aware of this. I'm going to let this remain for now, since there is a chance that someone may share his sentiments (albeit very very slim chance).
I'm not sure however why you would want sense on a nexus.

Seeing Sense on my Galaxy Nexus would scar me for life. I have already seen too much of Sense...terrible things, things that cannot be unseen. I wake at night in fear that my Nexus wants to suggest matching contacts. Noooooo. I kid, I don't think Sense is that bad. It is what it is.

NO offense but IMO, Holo is the prettiest launcher so far. Nothing can replace Holo on a GNex.
But looking at the progresses, sense seems to be the most easiest (or most worked on) so far cuz months ago i saw TW ports and Sense ports but nowadays i only see Sense ports.

I personally think it would be nice to have this option for our GNex. Anyone else? By far the best CM ROM/Android release and quite polished. Think of the battery saving capabilities and overall performance/smoothness. How hard you guys think it would be to back port an ICS kernel?

Well I never experienced CM7 first hand so I can't really tell , I came to that conclusion since HW acceleration and performance boost was one of the most touted feature back then when ICS Iaunched I figure it was noticeably faster than GB.

Have you had the chance to see a G1 running Cupcake lately? That thing blasts away my Nexus in terms of speed opening the app drawer and the apps it has. BUT. Do remember: the older the OS, the less things it has to carry. You can't compare two different OS versions on two different phones. You can only compare the same OS version on two phones or two OS versions on the same phone.
I want donut on gnex which would still out perform iOS 6.1.

There is people with Galaxy Nexus who doesn't like ICS or newer Android version...
I don't like really much Gingerbread but it would be nice if there would be GB for Nexus because then battery life may be better but speed won't be much better and then there is less question threads about older Android versions...

You're talking out of assumptions here. Hell, what if the ported GN **** for GB makes it worse ?
I'm still waiting for a good report on how ICS saves battery vs. the look & feel of overall OS fluidity in JB. And now GB ? Give me break.
Seems that slow news days and lack of new stuff to flash is a killer combo for dumb assumptions without technical explanations or research of work to be invested to get mythical gains.

On my fascinate, comparing cm7.2 to cm10 was like comparing an oven to a microwave. Cm10 was massively faster, smoother, and more stable. It wasn't even kind of close.

CM 7.2 (GingerBread acctually) is Windows XP of Android. Its stable and it still takes 50% of Android devices. It would be cool to see how it works on newer devices but its hard to backport it to newer devices so it would be just waste of time

Okay so I had a Dinc2 before this and my dad just got the DNA... I really miss Sense haha
To get to the point: I am nowhere near a developer but I think I could port Sense to the Gnex if I had some help. If anyone is interested in trying to do this let me know!
I will probably try to get Sense from either the DNA or the X, the X has the same screen resolution so it may be easier... either way lets see what happens! I've already tried twice and it failed. Like i said... I'm no dev
I have the vzw Gnex so i'd start with a toro build and go from there if we can get it working properly!
You have way more important things to worry about than screen resolution...
People with more experience have tried and failed. Don't waste your time, but try if you really dare. Like the other guy said, the screen resolution isn't the only problem. It's probably the least most important issue.

A sense port would be fun to play around with, but it was attempted about a year ago, and ended up being abandoned. There is do much that is closed source in sense that it would be an uphill battle to get it working. It would basically take an htc sense developer to make this work... So who knows someone on the htc dev team?
