Starting a Sense 4.1 port - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey I'm about to start a Sense 4.1 port and I was looking for some help. I know the sense 4 all people tried but i refuse to believe that it's impossible to port to the GS3. I've sent some PM's out to some respected developers but nobody has responded. I understand the basics but need more knowledge. So if you feel like contributing then by all means please do so. If you aren't a Sense fan but still understand how, your help is welcomed too. Just no negative people saying stuff like "why would you want Sense on this phone.You should have bought the Evo." Just trying to give back to the community. Thanks on advance

I find it a nice port would love one of these ports I don't know android development but I do know basic programming

+1 to a sense port , I would love a sense port.

Demand
I know there is a demand for it and our phones are more than capable of handling it. Ive seen it ported to lesser devices so Im amped to get this started. I just need someone with a little more knowledge about porting to chime in. I think my main issue that i dont understand is getting the kernel set up to work on our devices. Spread the word lets see if we can get this development going

There was a tread started before and closed because people was not helping and acting childish, the people that was working on it said the hell with it. They had a decent port it had problems but hell it worked. Good luck but people always flood these threads with stupid questions like why don't you just get a htc phone or use a different launcher .

Yea i know I've seen it get pretty ugly around here. My thing is if you don't like Htc Sense then don't download it. I know a lot of people that really want to see this port happen. That won't stop me from trying

Maybe you should get in touch with the guys that have already started that port project. Not sure what kind of trouble they ran into but their work might provide a nice heads start for you. Just be sure and give them some credit. I personally would love to see a Sense port not because I necessarily like sense but this is XDA and this is what we do! Good luck with this!

+1 on the Sense port, sense has a better integration with android than TW does. Though TW is good in its own way...
get in touch with the team developing the initial port, their major problem was that they didnt have a sprint GS3 to test directly.

That's a great idea you guys. I'll shoot them a PM so we can get this ball rolling.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help. I know java / android programming, but have never messed with ROMs and such.
However I'd love this and if there is anything sort of simple that you would rather have someone else do, send it my way.
Also would probably donate for a working ROM! I love sense!

I know nothing about developing, but will test and give feedback.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Idk if these are the same guys you guys are referring to but they have a port for the international version and have a poll to port to the sprint version. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.

Also id love to help out in anyway I can. I don't know much about java but I love to learn and also would be more than happy to be a tester and post logs and issues.

[Help] [WIP] Sense on S3

First of all this is a project im looking for any help to get our devices to boot sense please refrain for telling me it is not possible that i sould have gotten an htc phone if i wanted sense. I wanna live in the xda way and develop for our phones which have better internal specs then the htc phones for our carrier. Also i would like to see our phones run diffident flavors of android. Please don't tell me its not possible i have a ics rom port in alpha already i've gotten to the boot animation and it locks up i have both the logcat and rom to prove it. Im looking for help within my forum to get it running.

So, what exactly do you need?
Any help im a complete noob on how to develop im learning as i go along see if someone can kinda help me kinda understand the logcat im honestly surprised ive gotten to this point.
Have you look the sense4all projet? There is already a rom working for the internationnal GS3 (SO DON'T FLASH THIS ROM). Maybe you can try to port that one.
Also our phone have the same processor than the canadian HTC One X, maybe you can go in that direction.

I'm sure Thomas Edison got some good laughs when talking about the light bulb too. You don't know him or know what he's capable of; nor will you ever find out with this attitude. I envy his will to learn, and to take on a big challenge like this. I don't envy, I even despise attitudes like this that try to put people down who are attempting to do great things. To OP: even if you do fail at this, with the attitude you have, you will do great things.

...prideful much?
One has gotta start somewhere, I started with ports.
To OP, try porting AOSP/AOKP ROMs from a similar device (like the other SGS3 variants). Those are way easier to port and will give you a chance to learn the basics.

In the same way guys... There's a learning curve. It could have been approached differently. But speaking from the position as he stated that he is completely new to this... If I was a sherpa and someone who had spent their life on a couch says they're interested in rock climbing, I'm not going to say, 'awesome, next week when your equipment arrives go to mount Everest and have fun!' There are ways to train and become better at things. Would suggestions have been better than simply stating that it'd not go well... Yes. And coming here to help where there are experienced devs is good hopefully their guidance will be enough to get him on the right track with this project and if not maybe he can start out smaller and build to this project.

I mean lets be realistic has sense ever been ported completly stable to a non htc device before? Dont go swimming in deep waters if you dont know how to, start off shallow then work your way up.
Being real about the situation might seem harsh but it is what it is......but if he does have some sort of coding skills than by all means do whatever

This drama really could have been avoided. Still unsure why download links were removed and project was killed outright instead of handed off to someone else who wanted to maintain it. Makes no sense to me, especially having done a little dev work myself in the past.
Anyhow, happy to see it make a return.

It really wasn't that dramatic, the rules of the Dev section say that you have to provide support in your thread, and since he got a new job he wasn't able to do that anymore and had it shut down until someone else took over. Now its coming back out under new management and we can all be excited.

The disappearance of Wambo_Bomb...

What's up with Wambo_Bomb's sudden disappearance?
I was looking to see if he had upgraded one of his roms and I suddenly start to see that most of the threads he started are gone.
Does anyone have any intel on what happen?
His roms were some of the best out for the OG Evo... what do we do know?
Will it be possible for someone to continue his work?
I don't think anyone knows a ton, but according to his post in the Original Development thread he will continue his work on android.aokforums.com.
He is still pumping out quality work but is no longer posting on xda. Like many of the good devs xda has become more of a pain. The reasons why I shall not go into. Just check out aokforums.
