Hi all.
As perhaps some of you may already know 'Meizu M9' has been somewhat ported to the 'Nexus One' some major things doesn't work yet though and I wanted to temped a dev or a good cooker to try to port this one for Desire.
I honestly believe that this ols kirf company has managed to make the most beautiful Android rom yet, hell in my opinion Meizu M9 is the sweetest looking GUI for any phone.
Link to the N1 port.
Already a thread going in Q&A and it seems opinion is split between people liking it and those not. Personally, I feel it looks like a poor version of MIUI BUT I will reserve final judgement until it's running on the Desire
It's similar to MIUI ROM, No interest in it.
I like sense...that's all
I saw the UI, and I was like "HOOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY FFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!". Its pretty much equivalent to the reaction I had when I first saw Sense UI.

M9 got a better UI than sense.. except for the whole *phone app icon look n horizontial scrolling .. like to see a port of the music player n media player n settings menu
Hi I hope no 1 will be disappointed by my question.
I know that the sense widgets require the rosie framework.
I need to understand this: is it possibile to cook a new rom on the galaxy nexus putting the HTC framework and widgets?
Is it a long and hard work?
Thank you all for your time
Massive, huge no!!
This will be impossible until HTC Sense with Ice Cream Sandwich is launched. So your probably looking at 6+ months since HTC is very slow now.
and even then, considering this is a samsung device, it's incredibly unlikely that sense will be ported.
basically, if you want really want sense, either find replacment widgets in the market, of which there are many, or return your nexus and get a sense phone.
ICS for the Sensation is apparently out officially in 2 weeks
And it's already leaked

... not sure why anyone would want this but Android is all about options.
I used to think HTC Sense looked cool back in the G1 days but now their launcher bar looks weird with the app drawer icon
I know, I have the RUU and ran my own build on my Sensation before it hard bricked itself (need to send it to HTC at some point!!)
Hey, I am coming from a Nexus One so I'm very comfortable with stock Android.
I have preordered a One X and would like to know what benefits and drawbacks there are with Sense.
Cheers.

Well first of all you coming from a nexus one, you will absolutely love the one X and HTC sense ( even tho I haven't play with the phone yet I'm pretty sure). It is a huge upgrade. As far as sense vs stock well sense offers a lot more customization, excellent widgets, it's eye candy. Stock is always great as it is easy to update, you get the pure google experience and there is less chances of lag and stuff since android OSs are optimized to work really well with nexus phones. Now for drawbacks the only thing I can think of for sense and any other overlays is that it will result in later OS updates. But HTC does a very good job at updating their devices in a timely fashion plus they will focus a lot on the one x so you're good to go.

Awesome. Thanks for your input.
Anyone else got something to add?
Your question is kind of confusing. "stock" for any HTC device is going to be sense. I think you mean AOSP vs Sense. AOSP has less polish and eye candy, but usually offers more speed and better battery life.

Ahh. More specifically I was using CM7. 1.
Back in the days, Sense was really bad and it slowed down your device.
But the One X has the right hardware and Sense 4 is so clean and it's still lokking great.
You will enjoy it!
Until we all have it in our hands, no one really knows.
Sense 4 looks like such an improvement on all levels so we'll see.
I've already tested it for 3 hours and it's amazing.
I agree, the last versions of Sense were buggy and slow but now HTC found the perfect mix of speed and design.
I have to say that Sense is a really good looking skin, the best in my opinion compared to others. My guess is that you'll like it because I don't know many people who really hate it nowadays and I'm sure it's going to be better than it used to be. And AOSP roms are sure to be made at some point. As long as HTC unlocks the device, which I'm assuming they will soon after release.
Awesome. Cheers for the input, looking forward to getting my hands on this phone.
Importantly, sense has more widgets that integrate with android which provide better convenience for users. However, we do see many other alternatives inspired by sense which can be achievable even you're on AOSP. Personally, I feel that there is no other theme that make me feel that what I'm using is really a smartphone other than Sense. Ever since the touch diamond time.

I'm not such a big fan of sense. To me, it's a little uninspired. The white menus with their "shutter" effect is a little jarring if you ask me, and the widgets are becoming a little long in the tooth. If I were to choose any skin it would definitely be Sony's. Theirs is somewhat minimal with very cool and subtle animations and overall a bit "darker", in keeping with Google's AOSP, almost more slick and business-like. That said, I find Sense much better than say what Samsung and LG have on their phones.
In any case, I've placed an order for the X, but I'll be keeping my eye out for both CM9 and MIUI ROMs.
I am using a desire now and can appreciate Sense.
Although I don't use the friendstream and other widgets, the eye candy is nice And I love the other features such as cutting off the ring tone by flipping the phone etc.
The new ones with active lockscreen should be ace.
I always liked Sense then switched roms and started using GO Launcher EX it is brilliant.Though I really am looking forward to seeing what Sense 4 is like on the One X ...roll on next week
Being a noob to android, can anyone explain how much of the features of a phone are likely to be tied to the software rather than hardware?
Obviously very hard to tell with this phone not being out yet, but things like the video recording and taking a picture at the same time, or apt-x compatibility, or even compatibility with the htc media link
Do you need to keep sense in order for those things to work?
so i was just wondering is there going to be any touchwiz port from galaxy s4/s3 to hox?
, and i am not asking for a cm rom with mrmadd theme or a launcher, but an solid touchwiz port.
and its not like why would i want a touchwiz port or that it sucks , but its quite the contrary why shouldnt we have it
i would totaly enjoy it and i know many of us would ..

My brother has owned a S3 device at the time I owned my One x . so here couple of points I would like to share
1-My brother always liked the Sense ROMs and disliked the touchwizy thing ,so people witth sense phones (HTC) are always lucky to have sense experience and not the wizzytouch thing
2-porting a touchwiz isnt that hard in my opinion , but porting to our device here has no need because we already have the goodness of the best of 2 worlds the Sense part which i consider to be the best Interface we had from all phone companies and AOSP part which has been ported successfully to our device

No.
NO Samsung device has the Tegra chipset, and unlike many Android open-source UI's the likes of Sense and Touchwiz are proprietary with no access to source from which to even base a port.
Hmm so that means no touchwiz port will ever be availible on our devices thats sad , and i know that sense is realy on a whole better level than touchwiz but i just kinda thought that i might some time enjoy a funny-like-toy rom to play with in free time anyway thanks guys for your answers.

Hey guys,
I bought one of these tabs and the specs are pretty good but i hate UX. Its enough for me to return it.
I'd rather not flash to CyanogenMod and instead use a regualr plain ole KitKat or Lollipop AOSP stock Rom.
Does such a beast exist? I've looked everywhere.
Cheers.... Shane
"Stock" is a really confusing term to use. Stock for this device means TouchWiz. I think you mean something like GPE (Google Play Edition) or Nexus type ROM, without any manufacturer customization. Some may consider this "stock Google" in a sense. But as very few actual devices have come with such a thing out of the box, its hard for me to consider this "stock".
Even calling CM and the like "AOSP" is a stretch. CM and many other "AOSP" ROMs have so many customizations at this point, its hard to see any relation to the original Android OS as it comes from Google.
Ok, rant over.
I haven't seen anything like that (Nexus or GPE ROM for this device), unfortunately. I'd say just bite it and flash either CM11 or Slimkat, as they are IMO much less laggy and bloated then TouchWiz.
Have you guys tried Lollipop yet? I have (Nexus) and OMG it's actually quite a few steps backward and definitely not ready for prime-time. In fact, I heard it's even worse on Tablets compared to Phones.
I'm GLAD this tablet is only on 4.4.2 -- I would love a 4.4.4 upgrade, but that's it. I do not want Lollipop to hit the Galaxy Tab Pro series until at least Android v5.1 or 5.2 so that some of the horrible design decisions have been reversed, or at least adjusted.
I agree that Lollipop is not ready for prime time. I installed from the factory images on both a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10 -- and the rolled back to KitKat. Biggest issue for me was unavailability of Xposed Framework.
At this point I'm happy to stay with this ROM plus my Xposed tweaks:

Just get the Google Now Launcher. I dislike the Touchwiz laggy UI as well. When I intalled GNL the lag went away + I still had the extra Samsung features!
