Not to question you, but do you actually have the skills to do this? Something like this is not an easy task for people that know what they are doing so when you say you will help, does than mean you will test or can you actually contribute?
While some do not like TW, I do not understand why people would complain if there are more options for you phone. If you do not like it, move on to something else but don't tell people not to do it.
If the new TW was ported with all the new features in the SGS3 I am sure people would jump on it. Even the TW haters.

This is blasphemy...that is all

LOL, why in the world would you want to have touchwiz on the nexus?
As I say that, it's better than sense 4.0. Nothing is better than stock ICS imo.

U can install it as a normal apk, or if u're rooted u can also push it to /system/app to enable delete apps directly from app drawer. In that same section u'll find another thread with tw launcher. This is of course TW4. Anyways, i've lived the tw experience and my final thought was "i'm never going back" , it was for sure my worst android experience.
And finally, as a response to the guy that claims that tw is a God in comparison to sense, i would propose to go jump off a cliff. They both suck and are no way close to vanilla feel, but if i had to choose between those 2 , i would go with sense, i've tried all sense versions up to sense 3.5 and neither tw3 nor tw4 are not even close.

A bit much there. Some people like like touchwiz because of some of the features it brings to the table that, quite frankly, should be in the Galaxy Nexus. The one that is bothering the HELL out of me right now is Wifi-Direct.
The S2, running Gingerbread, has a fully functioning, built-in Wifi-Direct Application. The Nexus? Does not. (Also every single video codec native to it without needing an app)
The S3, will have a better camera app, S-Beam, and a whole host of other features, that are only included with TouchWiz.
The features I've mentioned are not limited by the hardware differences between the S2 or even the S3 in comparison to the Nexus.
It's not always about looks, it's about features as well. I doubt telling someone to go jump off a cliff if they don't agree with your opinion on design is warranted.

Not a fan of touchwiz or sense
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Jump off a cliff was metaphoric of course (didn't expect i would need to explain that). Anyways, all this stuff is a matter of taste, and yes there are people who like tw, for whatever reasons. As i mentioned i spent time in both worlds, the only feature I liked in tw was the memo app. The features in sense such as widgets (weather, stocks, htc email, news feed and so on), more practical and nicer lockscreen, better transition and scrolling animations, recent apps and settings shortcuts in starus bar, and visually nicer and more colorful UI etc... plus, the whole general feel and smoothness of sense, i'm not talking about sense 4, although htc will polish the software on one x in future updates. Unless someone hadn't lived with both UI's his/her arguements are not valid.
Anyways back on topic, the "features" u mentioned in ur post above are directly integrated into the samsung framework and other system files, and u can see the progress of such ports in the gnex dev section. But that's not the point, people who NEED TW features should go and buy samsung phones with tw, gnex is clearly not the best choice for them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

OK some of you guys need to understand that if wants to bring TW to the galaxy nexus so be it. I'm tired of reading crap about how "why would you want it" if you don't want it don't flash it when there's a touchwiz rom simple as that. Don't sit here and tell him you hate TW for what ever reason. He is asking for help to port it. If u are not going to contribute then don't say anything at all.

Why buy a gnex if you want a manufacturer overlay?
Seems kind of strange to me. I got a gnex because I wanted pure google.
The Sensation forum is also full of people complaining they don't want sense.
It's all very strange, like buying a vw golf and being disappointed that you can't put a 7 litre v10 in it.

So you're last sentence is inferring the Galaxy Nexus is a mid range Android "vehicle" and Sense is a more advanced custom engine that it can't handle?

MIUI why isn't it popular?

hi all i've been lurking in nexus forums lately and i found miui ( 4.1 is released ) to be totally beautiful and gorgeous it has a really nice theme to it , + it have a ton of customizables ...but there's only about 50 k views ,,why is that so ? it seems to be a well made rom ...so is it so unpopular? i don't have a nexus yet though

because it looks like an iphone. alot of people dont like that look.

Some people like the aosp versions. Generally people have different preferences. I used to love MIUI and use it frequently until I came to the gnexus where the whites were not up to my expectations. However today jb version of MIUI is out and I'll be giving that a go. Hopefully will stick with it.

This for me also.

Saying it looks like an iPhone isn't the real reason because you can customize MIUI much easier with it's built-in theme engine - there's hundreds of themes available for it that looking NOTHING like an iPhone and NOTHING like aosp as well.
The reason it isn't popular here is because it runs like crap on the galaxy nexus. If you popped in over at the Desire HD or SGSII forums you'll see it's one of the top ROMs used there because it runs beautifully on those devices.

oh so miui isn't optimized for nexus ? one more thing is there a difference between aokp , aosp , cm10 ?

I don't like closed source ROMs plain and simple. Release your source so others can build on your success.

It doesn't have to look like iOS at all. I have run Miui with Apex Launcher and it looks nothing like an iPhone.

I just tried it out and it can't currently hold a candle to Jelly Bean in terms of UI smoothness. Deal breaker for me. Also doesn't seem as stable, and chews through battery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It is not as smooth as other roms. I like miui a lot, just not on nexus yet. Hope the smoothness comes back.

you guys that have never tried and think its too much like the iphone check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hICCWO8vaXU

It doesn't take advantage of GPU rendering and therefore is God awful slow and painful to view. Basically its not at all optimized for the nexus. You can change the scrolling style on the launcher, or use apex/nova, but as a workaround its a poor trade-off.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Why you ask? Because they refuse to release source.
sent from my Galaxy Nexus running RasBean!!!!

1. i'm not particularly fond of its smoothness or appearance. i ran it on my evo for about a day, just to see what all the fuss was about, but was not terribly impressed.
2. closed source. not because i really care either way about re-contributing to the community (sorry guys), but because i've spent enough time working with slightly-less-than-reputable foreign programmers to be cautious of it. before you start ranting about how i'm some kind of racist/anti-chinese douchebag, just stop. i'm not even suggesting that there are sneaky things going on, because it's awfully hard to hide those kinds of things from the rest of the community. their fierce determination to keep all their code/modifications to themselves, for some reason, just makes my spidey sense tingle.

guys today they just updated it to jellbean making it smoother

Why are there no Sense roms?

I'm surprised no one has made any sense roms for the Gnex yet. Is it not as simple as porting over a different phone's rom and adding the on-screen keys?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda app-developers app

theres a lot of framework needed for Sense, and it runs deep. If you've had an HTC phone like the Rezound u see how it's impossible to totally strip Sense down to aosp, and vice versa. Since its not supported by HTC, someone would have to basically do it from scratch, I don't think most devs find it worth the time/effort to try it. I did however see Paullie Vicious start work on one a few months ago, but nothing really came of it

We have nexus cuz most of us do not like sense. Plus its too bloated

Why? Because everything is vanilla android? That is the whole point of the nexus. Nobody bought the nexus because they wanted sense ports... they bought it for the clean android android experience.

Now I have a droid incredible I've used sense, but with the amount if memory sense would be great for this phone. I do kinda hate limited by aosp only.. it would be nice to have variety honestly.
There really isn't a reason to have 50+ Roms running around when most include all the same features and optimizations.

You guys answering the OP's question arnt helpful at all.:sly:
OK so there is two ports happening and are in progress and just going into work.
There is a Sense 4.0 port by Nello92 & a team. He has been working on the SOB since the release of the Sense 4.0(March) now u probably wonder, "March??? WTF is taking so long!?!??!"
Well there are 3 things stopping him & the team.
1. SD doesn't work properly.
2. He has a life he needs to live so he does this on his free time
3. He is making this almost from scratch ( using a Nexus S port as base)
Now there is a Sense 3.6 port that has just started(no thread yet) because everyone says they've given up since no one has the answer tot he SD issue.
Nello92 is a stubborn SOB and believes(HELL TO THE YEAHYE!!!) it is possible to fix SD.
So in his eyes, development will continue.
Sense 3.6 is a new concept, so keep your eyes peeled for a thread.

I know right??? I wanna try out Sense 4. The first Skinned Android ROM that caught my Eyes(& Motoblurr). Touchwiz can die IMO(not offending the Touchwiz lovers, I know u nex users are out there waiting for a proper port).
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Well I mean.. I did buy the nexus because its an upgrade worth getting. Can't technically say but in my eyes the pinnacle of the android devices, similar to the droid incredible. Even though the nexus relay doesn't have a lot of Roms. I guarantee it will go down in history as a great device like the incredible.
So I got this because I knew development was great, a lot of users jumped ship here from the incredible forum. It was free, specs are fantastic, the size fits my hand greatly. I did also buy it because it had jelly bean, well could get jelly bean.. and because I knew aosp is particularly fast. So in a sense yes I did kinda buy it for aosp but not in a literal sense.
I dunno.. I kinda wished there was some new type of OS I guess. You do get tired of the same stuff.
Touchwiz comes to mind..

The answer given is probably correct though; not many gnex owners are interested in sense. Or touchwiz. Or some other bloated ui.
If you feel sense is that important to have, you kind of bought the wrong phone. A quick search would have shown there are no sense ROMs.

Anything like ViperRom for the Galaxy Nexus?

There is a ROM for most popular HTC phones called "ViperRom". It is probably the most insane ROM I've ever seen, simply because of the sheer amount of tweaks.
The greatest feature I have seen on it is live, on the go framework tweaking. Load some .pngs into your phone, and use the built in editor to select them and use them as images in your status bar, such as the battery, signal, wifi, or ring mode images. There is no installable theme or .mtz file needed to theme the images; just select them from the tweaks menu.
Is there any ROM that has this ability or can be built to add this ability for the GSM Galaxy Nexus? Because that would be awesome.

You bought a galaxy NEXUS. Not "sense-box-2230349039" or "blur-spaz-X08" or whatever the hell else you're looking for.
If you got a NEXUS device hoping that you'd be surprised by sense/b2g/windows/Android2.2/MacOS/whatever-else to be available...and working without show-stopping bugs...You have no idea what a NEXUS device is.
Nexus:
Get's updates straight from google (+yakju +takju -toro -toroplus...there's often a middle man) or in simpleton terms...
ANY DEVELOPERS WHO BOUGHT A NEXUS ARE FANS OF ANDROID AND WANT TO BUILD ANDROID. NOT SOME AFTERTHOUGHT SKIN WITH CLOSED/SEMI-CLOSED/"SOON-TO-BE-AVAILABLE" SOURCE.
If you came in to the game just to cry about the lackluster roms you shouldn't own the phone.

You will likely never get a Sense ROM on the Nexus and if you do it will be a port from another device. If you enjoy sense, you should stick with HTC devices. I came from a Sensation that had 1.9 million sense ROMS with few AOSP offerings.
The Nexus is the exact opposite. It's going to give you a 'vanilla' Android experience without the skins that you'll see from other manufacturers.
For me, I love the stability of the 'stock' builds and I can get enough customization through APEX launcher and some creativity.

I guess I just had the wrong idea about the nexus. I kind of thought it was the phone that would have the most development, be it ROMs being ported, built, or whatever. Currently my prepaid Virgin Mobile Optimus V has a wider selection of "different" ROMs than the Nexus does. I guess I was wrong. I was by no means trying to start a fight, however, so I sincerely apologize if anything I said offended you in any way.

Yeah I have seen the forums for sense phones. It's like the Nexus forums, but replace the "AOSP" label before all the ROMs with "Sense". Like I said above, I kind of just thought the nexus was the phone that had the widest variety of development. I'd love to be able to try out sense or touchwiz or motoblur on my phone, even if I am a fan of stock android. I guess this us not the phone for that.

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.

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...

MAY...
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.

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.

That's the reason IOS is so fast. It's so basic that the iphone doesn't have to load a lot of stuff like Android devices.

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.

Or a semi to a Ferrari lol

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

That's it. Tomorrow I'm downgrading my PC to Windows 98 and installing CM 6 on my Nexus. That should disable just about everything currently working.

That, and iOS doesn't run via a Virtual Machine.
