Challenge: Samsung Galaxy S ROM for Desire

Hi all chefs
Is it possible to cook a Samsung Galaxy S ROM for the HTC Desire? The applications are available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7201890#post7201890 And the Samsung Glaxy S Android development forum has some custom ROMs, so I guess the source or something is available for our beloved chefs
If not a total ROM port are feasible because of the big differences in hardware, at least a Desire ROM with most of the apps and widget cooked in would be great!
Anyone up for the challenge?

We already have the Galaxy launcher and apps...i don't think there is much need for a rom. Other than samsung widgets i suppose?

Hum did I miss something? D: where are the apps?

Someone posted them in the themes/apps section.

why do you even want to do that? sense is much superior than touchwiz in my opinion

Actually I posted the apps in the themes and apps section, but non of the apps seems to work on the Desire, or has there been any progress regarding that issue? Especially some of the widgets and apps are interesting.

I got rid of my Galaxy S for the Desire because TouchWiz is terrible. Why would you want to replace Sense with that?

Touchwiz is crap.

Well, actually only the following apps are of special interest:
FM RDS Radio
WriteandGo
I tried to install them, but it didn't work.

I would like those apps and the music app because it looks awesome

We don't want any Samsung rubbish around here. This is the HTC Desire forum.

Hah Samsung makes good screens!
They should stick to what they do best, making visuals! They are one of the best for displays I think we'd all agree, leave the high-end business mobile phone department to people that have been in the business for years.. like HTC. Sense really makes these devices stand out on the home screens alone.

I agree but it would be nice to have a play with some of their application they have designed.

[Q] Is a touchwiz 4 rom possible?

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.

Upgrading from leedroid am I better off without sense?

Hi all,
I have been using leedeoid for months now and I have become enamoured with.the idea that my phone would run better stripped of HTC sense.
Is this really the case?
Should I go for a miui or cynogen Rom?
the only thing I would miss is the sense radio and I hear that the radio app I used to use on my galaxy s will take its place perfectly.......
I use nova launcher now anyway....
Can anyone tell me if I would miss any other OS functionality that I'm not aware of that hasn't been replaced yet when I don't have sense based Rom?
Many thanks

[Q] Sense ROM Port?

I Was Wondering Is There Any Sense Port For The GNexus(Toroplus) Or If Not Is There Any Good Porting Guide And Good Phone To et The Port From? Really Wanna Try Out Sense 4.5 Or 5 On This Phone

No. It's also likely not going to happen as there is no HTC device with similar hardware as the GNex.

Sense & touchwiz are horrible anyway, especially sense.

I would like one also maybe one with sense 5 because sense 4 was really bad for sense.

Sense 3, 4 are annoying. TouchWiz, yurgh. Looking forward to Sense 5 though. Sadly there will never be a working Sense port :s

If porting touch wiz ROMs higher than 4.1.2 were possible, it would have been done by now.
Can't see it happening.

Yeah but it is possible, like before I have HTC Desire HD with stock stock 2.3 Gingerbread but someone port desire x 4.0 rom with sense 4.0 and ot is as stable as stock and even I use galaxy s2 rom on desirehd, so it is possible to port higher stock from other phone to this phone
Its also better if I got answer from @Rushing
