How to port sense

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

CodeNameAndroid is BACK ! :)

" CodeNameAndroid is BACK ! Packed with almost EVERY feature wanted on JB "
Yes, that was my first impression, when I saw CNA was back. Uncertain about the whole situation this dev had with his kang bash. But it's up to you whether to support the Dev or not? Or I think its only up to those who got the harm from any previous actions, and only them shall accept the apology. Or we can just use the ROM and move on with the old story? It's 50/50 opinion. Feel free to state
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31447-rom411aosp-codename-android-300-jb07312012/

His thread got closed right after the first day, and then got reopen. anyway now that I know, think it has to do with the old story. And a thead by him is not even present on XDA yet.

Or you could just ask for a title change in a more polite way instead of being a smart ass

Change the title to Blackdroid is BACK!
Few change their names (and don't tell anyone) for genuine reasons.

There is nothing wrong with it. Its fast good on battery life, stable and most of all you can customize anything.

[REQUEST] Samsung S III Keyboard

I have been browsing around for a ported keyboard from the S III for my SP GNEX and have not had any luck. Has anyone else seen one or can this be ported over? I love the style and all the options it has on the S III. Thanks for the help!!

BUMP for visability... Hoping someone with knowledge will see this. There is some interest as this has been viewed many times.

bump just because i love trying new things and having options

Bump, want it!

It may not be possible but I cannot question that. Anyway like said above, I'm in for trying new things too.
Bump means or basically is letting people get aware of this topic by bumping it to the front/top. Its fine to do once every couple hours or so many over day by one person. Although if others help bump it makes it equally easier.

I will love to try Samsung keyboard if possible

Threads are displayed in the forum by most recent. So whenever someone replies the thread goes back to the top of the thread list. So a "bump" back to the top.
I love keyboards and thus I support this. Samsung really integrates their stuff together like Sense... so I don't think its as easy as ripping the apk. Typically with past HTC IME keyboards had to be flashed through recovery to include all the proper files and placement.

I don't know much about these stuff, but can't somebody with galaxy s3 can just take out the apk of the keyboard?

Why Samsung keyboard ? Samsung English keyboard is really ****ty which could not do simple typo correction. The best was consistently lousy from galaxy s2 to galaxy s3 ...
Try typing this sentence with Samsung keyboard
" Samsung keyboard always stupid ! " , compare this to android stock keyboard.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I've been looking everywhere for an S3 keyboard port. Was hoping it was in the S3 Touchwiz addon pack, but see barely any mention of it.
I love the "handwrite" feature built in .. whether I'd use it or not
Madphone, the maker of the S3 addon port would probably be the best candidate to ask about this-- if he reads this or if anyone wants to hit him up.

There was actually a huge improvement from the SII & SIII keyboards.
I am an avid swype user but Samsung has integrated a swype like function into the keyboard. Also the handwrite feature is something I'd like to have.
Thanks for the input everyone. Hopefully we can keep this near the top and get this going!

Actually to people coming from Samsung devices in the past, they tend to like it better than the stock keyboards...

Bump... It's been a while since this has been up. So hoping there is an update. Anyone?

god....whats with all the whining? I thought this would b simple....y cant sum1 just download the samsung stock rom n extract the kb?

What would be harder to do?

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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.

[Request] HTC/Samsung Camera

Hi guys..
quickly.. I want to know if there are ports of this two camera apps for our nexus 4?
If there aren't, why no one ports it?
thanks in advance and as always sorry for my bad english

Because basically you need sense or touchwiz to have those camera apps and most people don't like touchwiz or sense so don't go through the trouble of porting it which is very difficult
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Ah ok.. So.. Sorry for this useless topic

Some a bit i think offtopic..when you said you need touchwiz or sense framework...your refering to the code in framework-res.apk??

Yea I think so I'm not 100 percent clear but it is really hard from what I've seen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

yes you need the framework coding and images as well as the drivers for it.

Well tw launcher together with framework have been ported over already...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

A launcher doesn't need drivers to interact with the hardware. They are very different things.

Surely someone could just add those features to a camera app instead of going through the hassle of porting?
