Hey I was just wondering if it was at all possible to port over the MIUI locscreen and top bar battery to a sense rom. I like MIUI but it just feels too Iphone ish and I love everything that comes in a LeeDroid ROM. The spectrum analyzer in the lockscreen for music looks awesome and I just like the look of it in general and I think the battery being across the whole top of the screen in a thin bar is pretty sweet too.
thanks in advance for any input on this I hope you guys can get something made up
I love the look of the MIUI roms, but my battery didnt last long at all, so I've moved back to a Sense rom now.
My wish is to get the MIUI IME onto this rom, the keyboard in the MIUI is sexy as hell.
Anyone know how to do that?
u can use widget locker if u miss the sense lock screen

Is impossible that Sense rom drain less battery then MIUI (with same preferences).
Some people have terrible battery life with MIUI, and some have excellent battery life. I have somewhere in the middle. Sense always seems to be a bigger battery drain for me though.

this is very strange
The lock screen is tied to the framework or something deep like that, so I think it's hard to do so. But, I'd be happy if someone can do it.
i always have a latest leedroid and a latest MIUI on nandroid, and often switch between the two, i use launcher pro with MIUI as i prefer an app drawer, but out of the two, MIUI has the superior battery life for me.
Thread moved to General.

Why moved to general? This was originally a question of porting the MIUI lockscreen and battery indicator over to a sense ROM... i thought the porting of parts of the system and framework between roms would be considered developing...
Not trying to be rude just wanted to know the reason you moved the thread to an area with less developer traffic which will lead to the thread dying out instead of this possibly having a chance to be done.

Yeah, I saw in the MIUI topics that battery life is meant to be a lot better, but not for me. I permanently have WiFi turned on and use my phone mostly for browsing and sms. On MIUI my battery would last about half a day. On aurax sense I'm on 50% after 16 hours.
I know nothing about the Android coding language, but I've got a degree in Delphi and php, will take a look at the difference in code between the 2 on Sunday and hopefully be able to throw something together. Will keep you posted though.

Well, without looking at any code, I don't see why it can't be done. The lockscreen is more than likely somewhere in the framework, just need to figure out how to extract it.
Going to try get the keyboard and lockscreen out, because they're really sexy.
Like I said, I will look into it tomorrow when I am home with a pc and a decent internet speed.

BUMP I'd really like to see that, too. Any ideas so far, Bending Betty? MIUI is really cool, but I just don't like the iPhone style. I didn't come from a 3GS to the Desire to theme my Desire so that it looks like an iPhone. That just doesn't make very much sense...I could make some Icons for MIUI in Photoshop that don't look so iPhone-ish, but the other things are still there. And that's just annoying. Especially the MIUI Lockscreen is really cool.
I love the spectrum analyzer when music is on and the lol of the lockscreen when battery charging n low etc. also love the battery bar across the top of the screen. those are the two main things I'm looking to have ported over.
I'm busy working on it. Will let you guys know how far I get tomorrow sometime. Only got back home 2 hours ago and its 11pm here, so I'm only going to have a chance tomorrow.

Okay. Im basically done. Just need to tweak a few things here and there.
Unfortunately because of the way the miui rom is coded you're going to have to downllod my rom, which I've edited to work.
Has no iphone feel to it, most miui components, but i will post a full change log when i up the rom.
I know its not exactly what we were going for, but it is the best i can do right now.

I just bought the SGS2, and my girlfriend is getting my old HTC Desire.
She tried it for a week, with Oxygen ROM and while generally happy with it, she was underwhelmed and annoyed with a few of the more obvious warts of stock android 2.3. The crappy dialer and the crappy keyboard, to name a few.
I then installed a lot of GO apps on it, GO Launcher EX, GO Dialer, GO Widget etc.
While these are in some respects better, they have other issues.
I am now considering if a ROM with Sense would be a good compromise for her. I will not give her the latest stock 2.2 ROM from HTC, I want her to have 2.3. So it would have to be a 2.3 ROM with Sense on it. And I don't even know which version of Sense. I have only really worked with the one in the stock 2.2 ROM from HTC. I think it is Sense 1.9?
So, can you guys recommend a 2.3 ROM with Sense or a 2.3 ROM and some good core apps (dialer, keyboard, sms/texting etc.) that is girlfriend-friendly?
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend one with the Sense 3.0.

why you pointing to external link when we have a development section full of nice a great ROMs?
I would recommend a ROM with Sense 2.1/3.0 (Hybrid) because the Sense 3.5/3.0 ROMs are a bit too much sometimes for the Desire as I read and heard (in case of lags and so).
But Runnymede is recommended very often.
So I would go with Revolution or InsertCoin which I self am using since a few months and i'm quite happy with it.

+1 for revolution. It's the most stable and lag free sense rom I have ever used. I also think a sense rom is more useful for your gf than a stock Android one. You should definitely let her try revolution

Why do all threads where people ask recommendations for third party turn out Sense 3.5 and hybrid abomination commercials?
Run either a ruu or flash her a rooted stock rom unless you have an ambition in becoming a mobile phone user support for ungrateful girlfriends.
Or simply buy her an iphone as I did for mine.

You'll probably get laid more often as an added bonus because of it.
@erklat
And I really dont get the point why you always have to bash the other Roms except Supernova's. Supernovas Rom sure is great but there also other good ROMs (even with Sense 3.0/3.5). They are maybe that not stable and so on but the Users also have different preferences. For some eye-candy is the most important feature, for other it is stability and speed.

Not that I don't bash just supernova, I don't bash either of the Sense 1.9 roms, aosp roms, or even roms which are broken and are advertised as such.
And I have no beef with roms or their developers, but with idiots that turn every rom recommendation thread into this. OK, you're free to do whatever you want, but you can't come and write "Sense 3.5/ICS :drool:, this, this, this and this doesn't work, but it's perfect".
As far as I'm concerned, the scale goes like this: unusable - bad - average - good - perfect. I hope meaning of perfect is self explanatory?
If the op states that he is giving away his phone, Sense 3.5 roms don't have nothing to look for here. Giving away phone with some of it's features severely limited is insanity.
It is you Sense 3.5 users who mixed up priorities here, not I. If the thread was titled "most eyecandy" rom I'd be silent.

This, they don't know what Android or Desire is, and ultimately they don't care. But they will never make a mistake recognizing an iPhone and a BMW keys.

I wasn't giving the OP a recommendation for a Sense 3.0/3.5-ROM, I was recommending him a Hybrid (2.1/3.0). And this I can do with pure conscience because the ROM I'm using right now (InsertCoin) is way faster than the Stock-ROM that was originally on the Desire and i havent experienced anything thats not working yet (no reboots, no failures, ... everything is working fine).
Yeah, maybe the Sense-ROMs you are not bashing are a bit faster than the ISC and Revolution Hybrids but there you have an uglier ui, so you have to balance.
Maybe you should testing a Hybrid for yourself because now you are just assuming things.

I want her to have 2.3, and there is no good official 2.3 ROM from HTC. So I guess I might as well try a girlfriend-friendly 2.3 ROM, preferably one that "just works" and that I don't have to help her with a million times. If you can recommend such a ROM, it would be great.
I agree with you that eye candy is not the most important thing here. Usability and stability is. Unfortunately, stock android have usability issues with simple things such as the dialer and the keyboard. And Android 2.3 is a must.
I will never buy her an iPhone, so that's not an option.
What do you recommend?

That is a very bold statement to make when talking with someone with 217,71 times your post count here
I did that, when they were popular, IC was on my phone for a whole 15 minutes before restoring nandroid backup of my AuraXTremeGinger I used at that time. You can feel when it was placed in past. To be honest, I didn't get to the post where you recommended anything. It was enough for one which spends as much time as me reading these threads to read a couple of the first ones and catch the drift of where is it going. After that I just scroll real fast through the thread. No Stock rom recommendations? Check. Commence bashing.

Hi all devs!!! I was only wandering if someone can help with this port...
I will try but i haven't so much skills
I think this won't be so difficoult cause the leaked rom is for a 720p display so nothing needs to be resized
(Yeah if u don't like sense its not my problem so don't reply here saying sense suck --')
I will try to start port process today and post my results so don't delete this thread please
UPDATE: i can't find RUU file so i can't start...if someone have it please share it with me
I'm no dev, but aren't most sense ports failing because the sense sdk is closed source and there are a lot of libs and stuff unavailable for devs?
You can't just port Sense to another platform, it's not just a launcher but an entire framework
Plus this should be in Q&A not Dev
First step. Modify, build and successfully boot a kernel for Sense. Without it, the ROM will never boot. Sense needs kernel patches.
also if the leaked rom is for a 720p display don't signifies that the port is easy\fast.
anyway good luck for that!

Cause we can and people have to have different choices...if i want TO port that why i haven't to do that?
I'm all for choices, but this is a BAD choice and would make the Nexus worse. It's seriously not worth porting it over.
Taking Sense to the Nexus One was easy as the Desire is the same phone so there wasn't a lot of work needed

No port is a bad choice, who wouldn't want the option to run sense on the gnex? If I had a gnex that would be my first project.
It couldnt make the device worse, more options are better
who wouldn't want to port sense on gnex?....anyone,seeing the effort on this 3ad!
and i think it's right.sense is good for any phone with a proper associated UI (and IMHO sense it's the best respect others,like tw,motoblur etc)but in a google phone,inwhich proper manufactured UI is absent,i agree with eddyOS,it's a nonsense.can only slowdown the system and eating most of the ram.why go straight on with a porting of a thing despite the absence of which was conceived and designed specifically to streamline the system ...?
Let the guy try! This would be interesting for sure!
sent from my Nexus Prime
nothin says that he shouldn't try...i only express my opinion!
This would be really awesome
Although I agree that it might slow down the system a bit, its amazing to have a lot of choices. Its a developer phone and the more roms, kernels and mods we have the better (although quality is important TOO )
BTW....swamp goblin, you really seem to love porting (just game from Nexus S), your work is fantastic
My hat off to whoever accomplishes this. I think it would be brilliant to see. Like people said, choice is good.
Aren't there any legal issues on this? I'm not too sure HTC would take it well.
that would be awesome... i hope its possible

mike1986 confirmed on twitter his ROMs will come to One X
hamdir, are you a Dev? From what I read on One's mega thread it seems you made a very important tweak on Sense.
If I get the One X, expect ROMs from me
Got experience in kernel development + got a team behind me that knows the thing pretty well
I'm planning to create some tweaking apps too !
And not related to One X but some games are on their way for the droid

i made ultra/super smooth rosie hack, that disabled the 3d widget effect, froze pages during scroll, which ran Rosie (Sense launcher) at locked 60fps for snapdragon 2 and above the idea was adopted in sense 4
my thread has various versions of sense 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6 patched for many devices also has the guide to apply the patch
but no im no dev, i'm more like a modder, obsessed with smoothness i usually provide mods for the ROM i'm using
i also wrote many guides, like DHD camera guide and supercharger guide
so yea i can be useful
I want Dougi and Shnizlon as best 2 themers on Sensation
Seo from DHD scene and Baad from Sensation as devs
hmm just had an idea for an xda developer top trumps game
I'd love to see an AOSP ROM and try that out, though I'm a fan of sense and really like what I've heard about Sense 4.0... I'd therefore also like a nice simple Sense 4.0 ROM which just improves performance maybe strips it back even more to the bare essentials.
Do I also remember reading about being able to duel boot Android phones now? that would be cool if we could do that....
However at the moment I plan on running stock until things settle down.
mike1986 gives us the first

Why ?
Sense 5 is much more polished and user-friendly than 4+...
Many things in 4+ now seem unfinished and amateur-ish, seeing what the didi with Sense 5..
Get used to it, trust me it's way better...
It even uses less RAM so you get a better battery life as well, and a more fluid experience
