I was wondering what would be harder to port...............Touchwiz, Sense, or Aplications Platform(Motorola)?
I'm no expert on this topic but sense would most likely be the hardest to port. As for easiest I have no idea

Yeah I'm liking how Motorola is going and I like the way touchwiz looks but people get mad when I ask about a non-stock ROM on a Google device.

I'd say the Motorola I went to a Verizon store and played with the RAZR m. Widgets are nice and overall u.I. was smooth. Was ICS BTW... sense would be amazing and maybe stutter proof ( we do have a beast of a phone)

There's a guy in the dev section who has been working on the ports , still not mega stable so they all look like a pain. Give him a message am sure he has more info

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.

Im wanting to lean how to port roms to my galaxy nexus ie the ics rezound rom. im new to porting and would like some help like links etc on how to do my best in that area, i think there will be a load of people happy with a sense port as there is none out there at the moment so if anyone know the basics please help
It's not possible. I thought the reason people on XDA bought the Nexus was for AOSP.

Nm, u? Me and swamp are working on it, but no build has booted yet. The epic is much harder to port to. I may be able to help you guys on sense though since I know pretty much what swamp does
Would love to see Sense ported - the more options the better imo!

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

I have a Sensation running Sense 3.6/ICS and it's no where NEAR as fast as the Nexus on stock ICS
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.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
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

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sorry, gotta say it, but Tounchwiz?
TOUCHWIZ.
You won't find it anywhere.
Most people who are on the Nexus cannot stand OEM skins.
Also, no JB with Touchwiz ROMs except maybe on the SGS3 but I'm not even sure, I doubt it.
Thanks for that helpful information .

I recommend you get a Galaxy S3 if you like TouchWiz. Nexus devices use pure Android OS without the bloats.
This custom TW Launcher only work for Gingerbread for now, but you can follow its progress to see if it gets support for new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Also you can download Cyanogenmod TouchWiz theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&feature=search_result
sense, touchwiz, motoblur all unnecessary junk. Wish more manufacturers would use vanilla android, but that's why I got a nexus.

Thats true!
i find it ironic that ppl with touchwiz devices cant wait to flash aosp roms..and you a nexus user wants touchwiz. well to each their own.
i think there is a s3 add on that gives makes your phone like the s3 with touchwiz..you might wanna give that a try
ok so i wanted to know if its possible to port the touchwiz ui to the galaxy nexus from the galaxy s3 im sure there is a post on this but i couldnt find it i like touch wiz so i was curious

As of yet it hasn't been done, its possible but certainly not easy. You can watch the CNS developing thread although the dev hasn't said anything in a long time.

you think it would need a rom bas like cm10 or slim bean i mean i know its not gonna be a full port but a skin on the rom which is i think as close as it gets
Personally, I dont like TouchWiz. But if you are running CM10 or some other custom ROM, I'm sure you can get a TouchWiz feel with launchers, themes and keyboards. Im sure there are TouchWiz apps around too if you search for them. Thats probably the closest you'll get

You look at a lockscreen for less than 4 seconds while unlocking. I hardly think that a fancy lockscreen is necessary.

Sell your Galaxy Nexus and buy a S3.
I'll never understand why people like TouchWiz, or any of the other layovers like Sense & MotoBlur.

You don't need to replace the boot image. All the Gnex variations use the same kernel.
Unless you compiled your own kernel?
Either way, I might be in on dev for this, downloading the Premier kernel source now, will see what I can't replace with gnex stuff (driver wise), the phones are pretty similar.

I will open the tread today if my internet won't ask like a b*tch. Yesterday it was uploading at only 1kbps .The kernel is just the cm10 kernel with a modded bootclasspath to boot this rom.

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?
