Okay, I assume the dev forum is the right place for this, since it would involve taking things apart.
I was wondering, for those of us who like Sense (don't hit me, to each his own), has anybody ever tried to seperate it from Android and port it to non HTC devices?
There are some great new things coming down the pipe, and I am not a developer, so I don't pretend to know if this is even remotely possible.
Just a wish of mine that maybe HTC would make it available in the Market for other devices to install.
Thanks for any contructive input,
Dennis

Wrong section and then some. Try the forum section for the non HTC phone you speak of.
I don't speak of any particular phone. I have an Incredible.
And I suspect that since Sense is only on HTC phones, somebody who works with them would have to do it, if it even can be done.
I was asking because I see other devices, like the new Samsung Tablet, that I would really like if they had Sense.
Of course if HTC came out with one, that would solve my problem anyway.

Back before I got the Incredible I was following a port to the Moto Droid of SenseUI. I don't know if they ever finished because there were HUGE hurdles that had to be overcome like the RIL. It was the zeusdroid team, you can try googling them to see if any of their work comes up. Like I said its quite possible they may have bagged it because it was such a big undertaking to create a new RIL from scratch.
The fact that the HD2 can boot Android, WinMo6.5, and Windows Phone 7 makes me mad and jealous.
I don't know how many of you there are out there that would like to have the ability to run anything but android on our phones. I agree, Android is superior and is amazing and all, but I get bored sometimes and before you tell me to flash a new ROM... in the end they're all Android. Why not have the ability to flash different OPERATING SYSTEMS onto our phone? I mean hey, if the HD2 can do it so can we!
I understand there is a great deal of work involved in all of this but I'm sure there are others out there like myself who would enjoy such a feature. I created this thread in order to bring those people together so maybe we could find a few developers interested in getting this going.

Well there is a dualboot project underway by a developer Uncorupted. Right now its between 2 android roms, but its still progress.
P.S. you might get flamed for posting here.
Would be nice to try. Good luck!

I've been following the dual boot project and it's definitely something I'm going to make use of (Running CM and a Sense rom... what's better than that?), but at the same time I know there's a handful of people who are interested in running winmo or windows phone 7 on their EVO. This is an amazing piece of hardware and I think it'd be great if we could figure out a way to make more things work on it.

The dev support for the HD2 is superior to the EVO because of its worldphone (GSM) capabilities. Although it would be awesome to have the choices, I doubt it will ever happen on a Sprint device.
It kinda sucks because I feel like the phone has so much potential if it were running on more OS's
Basically as the title of the thread says. How do you guys feel so far in regarding the development of the phone?
Do you guys think we shall be seeing more devs coming to us and building fantastic roms? What in regards when the kernel source drops? Or do you feel that the S3 will get the most development?
I for one i am really happy with how things have started. From reading our devs are the best in the business from the HTC side and we have some of the big names. But are more going to come or what would you guys like to see?
Want to say many thanks for our good devs in making our device better and i just hope the development carries on and we have more devs coming to us even though the S3 is out as well.
What you guys think?
I've got Insertcoin, that's all I need!
In all seriousness, once the kernel source drops, I'm sure show-p and faux123 will be all over it. I very much look forward to that!
Considering the very short amount of time the phone has been available to the public, I don't think we could ask for more!
As I said when I first got this phone, the devs we have here are a who's who of my favourites dating back to the Tytn II: LeeDroid, Baad, monx, VillianRom, Core Droid, Mike1986.... also some promising 'new' devs such as J4n87.
All is looking well.

Also really happy so far, but I'm curious about the kernel source. How long does HTC tend to wait until they release it? Can we expect it within a few weeks or are we talking months? Or might they never release it? :O
Also, does anyone know exactly what they're waiting for? Ie, why didn't they release it simultaneously with the phone?
Cheers!

Not sure how long it would take for them to release it my friend. Would of thought it would of been with the release of the phone but we can only hope like in a few weeks..
And yeah i am more than happy with the development so far. Many big time players in our forums. Just feel once the source drops then kernels will drop as well..Thanks guys for your opinions so far.. Do you guys feel that we might see AOSP roms one day?

I`m sure Lee said in his thread that they had 90 days to release the source..i hope it comes sooner than that so the devs can rip it apart and build a better kernel.
From my understanding there's still a lot of unknowns surrounding the kernel and the proprietary drivers, not to mention s-off. I'm confident the devs are all over it like a cheap suit but HTC have done some things differently with the One series which has resulted in some intense chin stroking.
I think once these issues have been overcome (and it will be, its a when not an if) we'll see a lot more community development.
Personally I can't wait to run CyanogenMod on this beast.

HOX is the future at least for next 2 years.. HOX will eventually get all the attention the Desire has been getting till now.. Now the question is will the Desire lose it's attention?
Fyi, I've upgraded from Desire..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the One X isn't running on a Full ICS kernel, It's a Gingerbread Kernel of sorts right?
(due to the first time using Tegra 3?)
If so, my theory would be that they're working on a Full ICS kernel and then releasing the source.
Of course, I'm a noob and I could be talking balls.

you are probably right..was reading it on another thread the same thing..kinda odd if you ask me though for them to do that...we can only wait and see
My One X is the first Android I have ever had and I am new to the whole development and custom ROM community. I have nothing to compare it to but what I have seen is quite amazing.
There is plenty of custom roms already, mike is pushing new versions of he's amazing rom every other week, and he also announced that they will be working together with faux to improve our one x experience once the kernel source is available. And what I have read about faux, i am pretty happy about the future of my One X
So, i've been an avid android user for a while. to be honest, i only tried an iphone 4s (loved the damn little bugger, but got bored of ios) and then continued my realm of android glory. recently had a 5s, which i also enjoyed untill i got, again bored of ios and the insanely horrible battery life. To be conclusive, i love android, but aparently im pulled towards metal and things that seem and feel like they have a good build quality. Recently im without phone, and id like some opinions as ive NEVER gone near a htc device. How does it compare to a nexus Flashaholicly speaking? does the bootloader and s-off thing make it super maleable? does it loose anything when it gets the bootloader unlocked? do you guys believe it could be better than a z3 or maybe a moto x (2014).??
I'd love to read all of your opinions, so please give it all you've got! maybe this Thread will make more confused shoppers buy the M8 or something.
Thanks in advance bro's
The M8 development is booming for a non nexus device for sure! Lots of options.
As for Moto, like the original Moto x, I wouldn't suspect there will be that much development....as some will struggle to get root or unlocked bootloaders, like the 2013....And most don't want to give up the unique Moto features. You lose those if you aren't on stock or stock based roms. Definitely not a "flashers" device.
I know nothing of the Z3.

I think the M8 is still the device to be beaten at the moment. If you can get past the ocd opinions with the camera and enjoy the features it has, its a top quality device with the slickest software and nicest build quality.
Not good news for the Z3 in development terms. Maybe a work around will be found but it's pretty off putting.

anyone is working on this or would it be possible to port it to the HTC One M8?
I know this Post is Kinda Old, but I'd really Love thst to Happen.
However, I fear my way around anything linux-related is to superficial to jump in. However, I have done some alterations to CRs before. Since Plasma Mobile was rebased to CM and there is a working CM-Version for the M8 I think we(or a more Clever Guy) shoild be able to get this to work ...
I'd be happy to participate in any way... If only a test-device....
Here is the How-To for the N5.
I cannot see too much N5 specific Parts for setting it up, right?
Any answer is highly appreciated.
