[Q] Sense Port to Xperia S

Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible to port sense ui from htc to xperia s.
I've read many threads about porting and also porting sense. Found this guide on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707177
But i had some issues. I tried CM9.1 as Base and one v rom as port rom (extracted ruu and copyed over some folders)
-> didn't boot... i had no problems while flashing... but then there just came a stock android bootscreen logo but nothing happend.
I wasn't sure about which device would fit the best for porting and how to get started the best.
Would be nice to get some help!
Thanks!

You want only the UI or the whole Sense?

Full sense!
I know its hard to do it but i really like sense!
And i think its worth it

Indeed it is really hard. You'd have to get a dev that would want to have such a big job...

Which devs do we have for xperia s?
And who would do this?^^
Do you have xperience with porting Roms?

There aren't many, mostly none wants to do it and I don't have experience. I can't badly change a png myself without my phone almost exploding.

Thats Bad/ sad.
I know sense is very complex
I would try to do it myself for the beginning but i dont have much experience.. all i need would be some information on how to get started and which device would make 'sense' to port sense from.
But i also know i can't do it alone. Sadly I dont have the knowledge.

I think the Sensation HD would be a good choice. I don't know if it has the latest Sense, but it is the closest HTC device to ours (basically, it is the same thing with different design and UI)

Alright..
For porting, do i have to use a stock Rom or can i also try to port a custom Rom of the HTC sensation or would that make it harder?
And if i use a stock Rom, do i have to extract the Rom from a ruu or are there other ways to get stock Rom?

I think any custom Sense should do.
Sorry, don't know anymore

Would be amazing to make this possible !
Okay but thanks

you could just google for "htc sensation hd stock rom", there are so many sources serving the stock roms.

Of this is really that simple everyone would do it,but unfortunatly it's not :/

I know that there are many sources but i've never seen a stock rom as zip file .
You always have to download ruu and then extract firmware and kernel files..
But at least it is not the Problem to get a stock Rom

I think i can help you here
If you were stuck at bootscreen, then replace the android_servers.so in system/lib of the ported rom with the android_servers.so file of original rom(i.e. rom made for xperia s)
Let me know if its working or not and if possible can you send me a link of your ported rom..

Trying to decide which rom is proper to my Defy+, need some help

Hi all,
I got confused from all of the ROMs selection.
I need it to support Multi language (RTL), to be stable and bug free, fast and good battery. Is there any 4+ ROM that include it all ?
For now I flashed the latest CM9 build (Epsylon3) from here -
http://defy.wdscript.fr/defyplus-cm9/
But I can see that CM9 based ROMs is getting less and less popular...
I don't know which to choose from MIUI (WIUI), CM7.2, CM9 and CM10.
Please help me from your experience.
Thank you :good:

Try xperia d one its btr ROM of any other except quarx build cm10

It all depends on your taste, so you must try a few ROMs and stick to what suits your needs

To install CyanogenMod on Note II

Hi!!
I just wanted to ask if I have to be first root on my note II in order to install CyanogenMod, that's right?
can I install CyanogenMod rom on my note II without being root?
Cheers.
J.

Yes you need root and a custom recovery

Check out www.galaxynote2root.com for all the info you need on rooting, flashing and recovery programs I have heard this rom can be a little unstable but have not yet tried it. I use WanamLite rom and love it, very close to stock with more benefits and very stable
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Read the CM10.1 nightly thread, it has instructions.

Hi,
Just wanted to ask if cyanogenmod is stable enough for my Note II. I am looking for a stable rom... the closest one to the stock because I would not like to get a stone as phone...
Is WanamLite working properly?
Regards and thanks!

I tested both roms for same time, both very stable. However my opnion is that if you want a rom very similar to stock what is the fun? Nothing new to play around.
I'm using now Moon v8, a lot of features, good battery and no issue so far.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Well, sure - I'll have fun installing a rom and all that stuff but I had an iphone and I got tired saving everything before jailbreaking and then install everything.. when a new version was released the cycle again... so I'd like to have a phone with cyanogenmod o whatever mod rom but I don't want to change rom every time... at least I don't want to save my pictures and do a list of apps to download after installing a new rom because last one was unstable.... you know what I mean? I hate Samsung stock.. but works fine.. I think...
Thanks.

Any N7100 touchwiz themes ?

Hello people i have been searching for a theme to the note 2 n7100 Android revolution hd rom ( stock based ) but didn't find anything in themes and apps section
Any links are highly appreciated
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

dont think so
As far as I know there isn't such a thing
But you can try buzz launcher where people upload their own themes

ARHD is based stock right? So why do you want to find these files?

Because i use ARHD on my note 10.1 and found many many themes compatible with only stock based rom like this one
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

As far as I remember, any theme that works with omega rom should work with ARHD.
Though I'm not 100% sure so make a nandroid backup first.

Thanks for your reply i will try it

Whats your favourite rom + kernel?

Hello, I just need a few suggestions because i'm looking to make my s4 mini i9195 run faster and smoother with a amazing battery life but also easily customizable, What i want is for you to give me your 2 best combinations of rom & kernel that both are compatible with each other and give me a little reason why you chose it, yes i'll admit this is for my benefit because i am looking to change it around. My device is a S4 Mini i9195 LTE running android version 4.4.4
Thanks

I prefer you to use 'enhanced kernel' and cm rom to make your s4 mobile experience a great one

I use cm11 m9 and f4ktion kernel it's quiet decent really

For me , i use Stock KK (philz + rooted ) and BrisK V2 kernel !
it's stable ,and very very very good battery life ! :good:
And for a custom rom ,i love C -Rom V 7.1 ( final version stable of KK 4.4.4 and good baterry life ) ,the kernel is original CM11 ,it's very good ! :good:
but we can flash F4K kernel AOSP ( and older version ! not the last ... ) and i don't know wher we can find it ...
At the first time i used CM10.2.1.3 ! it's a very good rom too !

for your kind information, none of the custom Roms are free of bugs....bt the best one and 90% the stable one is cm 11 rom with enhanced kernel !
cm 11 nightly (android seranotexxkitkat)rom

I really enjoyed C-Rom but for some reason it has a system.ui force close whenever I first boot up and then maybe at one other random point throughout the day. Definitely able to deal with it though. I'm currently giving LiquidSmooth a go and it's great, although I'm really missing the side app bar, not so keen on the circle app bar.
Use both with f4ktion kernel, never looked back.

i now switched to pac man rom it's really awesome about the rom that it includes super many functions!

Carbon Rom with F4ktion kernel (It has f4k by default). I used to have C-rom, it has a lot of features but it wasn't compatible with last version of f4ktion so I found battery drain on it.
