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?

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.
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?

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.

I don't know.. I didn't buy the nexus for a aosp experience.
I didn't buy it for sense either.
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.

(Face palm) yes there is.
From my understanding its kinda in a broken state like the port for the incredible. And you have to re root unless its been fixed?
As for cyanogen mod.. I feel they've kinda been stunted. I've used their recent Roms and I'm not at all impressed.

Hi
I've created this thread here in general to try an effort to a collaborative port of (any) sense rom to galaxy nexus, lets to the point:
I was trying a different rom instead of the stock. Why? Because a custom rom with sense provide lots of things that stock doesn't have (init.d for example). In my case, I was using Insert Coin for One X, because in the past I had some success with other devices.. well. I didn't had the same success with galaxy nexus.
Of course any rom can be used, we need success in this port disregard the rom used.
Obs.: For people unable to help and able to troll, this isn't a thread for trolling/blaming/"giving the unrequired opinion about it" or "why not buying a HTC phone instead", please, you can create your own thread for that or just use your facebook.
Thanks
I think there was already a thread about a wip port of sense and touchwiz that booted but some major stuff wasn't working.

Yeah but as I can see, they're focus in specific versions, and I don't care about versions since it works. And I want a specific focus in join efforts to port sense.

It's relative. AOSP will be more easily imo, but in other hand, cm10 can be adapted, since there's cm10 for tegra (so we can adapt the source code, if someone wants to give a try). I was trying with cm10 4.1.1 btw (cause the InsertCoin is 4.1.1).
My Octo-oraculus says that there are few other threads like this and NONE of them will end up with something actually usable.

Btw, I was thinking about trying backport the sense for Nexus S (since there's one port that was almost successful), the only problem is... the best port for NS is Gingerbread-based and I dont know how much effort will be needed to adapt a 4.x kernel with a 2.3 rom.
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
why dont u people try to build an AOSP rom instead ofa CM....coz probably cm is sumthing that is modifications made to AOSP....and even the touchwiz ui is modified AOSP so if we can have a AOSP build itll probably be easier for us to build these roms..
...if sum one is ready to help me learn about building roms from source ill sure try making CM's and AOKP and paranoid and what not
is better but its based on AOSP.....its like imagine AOSP as a stock rom and CM as a custom rom...wait why imagine..its actually like that....so the basic idea is to improve performance...where CM show up...but whats the base CM uses??...its AOSP....so if we have a perfect AOSP which is obv possible...coz Samsung wouldn't be able to build TouchWiz withouta base...for obv reasons...so why not try building an AOSP first and then continuing with CM
do u even know whatcha sayin?
tl;dr
Here's some math:
No sources = no base
No base = no sources
No sources = no cm
No cm = no aosp
So unless you try to find a way to make those proprietary sources available then I'd suggest doing some research.
Also even if you tried you'll fail, we have the best devs for sgy working hard for that goal and we're honestly not making good progress. Well except for percy and his cm9 and psycho's cm7 but still a long way from "stable as stock".

My information might not be correct. A friend of mine told me this.
See cm is made by aftermarket developers keeping in mind that it can support lot of different phones.
On the other hand aosp was made for nexus phones so they don't give a damn that it works on other phones or not. They are just selfish lol.
So building pure aosp is tougher compared to cm. Cm has modifications on aosp to support different phones.

Naman...we haven't tried making AOSP yet so we cant just confirm this and it cant be that it was made for nexus only coz its an open source project so they must have probably kept in mind that many dev's will try to have it on different devices ..... the Gingerbread that our SGY uses is nothing but a custom rom of the aosp which we call as stock....
for obv reasons...samsung would not have made their own android os right...they have used google sources....the point is...the time dev's have spent on making CM if would have been focused on AOSP we might just have a build close enough to psycho's work!
and what ive learned or i might be wrong in this that psycho used aosp's sources for the fixes....Maybe wrong about this...i just read it somewhere here!.....and as our device has the largest community of awesome dev's why not we try the AOSP thing out??
we cant just conclude without trying...can we??......some months back people were like we wont have a CM....we have a working CM7 and CM9 which are working pretty fine except for the driver bugs....same way,we might just end up having an AOSP...
another hope to Young GT-S6310. need a great developers to make it true

Maybe you should see this. www.cyanogenmod.org/about
And also about android opensource project. Google gives aosp source to all manufacturers as part of aosp allience/programme which they further modify. And first phone running android was not nexus to say that they don't give damn about other devices. And the number of devices running CM is still very low.
Like I said, a friend told me about it.

man.. they are just stock based roms.. everyone is upgrading these days, android 4.3 has been released and you are still on 2.3.6. Which makes you guys really outdated..
Kernel? yeah there are huge number of kernels here but if you notice that most of em have same features See other phones like nexus 4. They have whats called "real" kernel development.
Pico which is 1k more expensive is 100 times better than this phone and you also know it. Why not buy that? I sold my Y for 3.5k and another 3k can buy you a arm7 phone. Which wont get outdated for another year atleast..
