Would there be a SenseUI available for the N1?
Does HTC have any intention on releasing an official 2.1 N1 rom?
I hate to get it flashed just to find out that the noise canceling or BT dont work.... That was little pain with the MyTouch..
This isn't development . Hopefully, we can keep this dev area cleaner than the Dream's. . .
Why would you want to put SenseUI on a Nexus? That's blasphemy
Why, for the bloat, of course.
I posted in here because I was wondering if anyone will be working on this type of ROM... so it is development related in a way.
SenseUI has WAY better interface than plain android. I love it but it runs sluggish on MyTouch. Obviously the N1 has the hardware to support this and not even flinch.
The new 2.1 SenseUI got leaked for the Hero. I was wondering if someone would be cooking a rom for the N1 with it. =)
But seriously HTC's widgets are the best!!!

to asnwer one part of your question, no, HTC will not be making a senseUI ROM as this is a google experiance phone. Much like the G1 and MT3G, they wont be getting a SenseUI ROM upgrade.

OH boy Cyanogens over here too!
i was sceptical on buying this phone as if cyan would be here workin with us then i just seen his post..5 seconds later i just bought this phone...arriving 2-3 business days.. lOL
Go Cyanogen!
Exactly, I saw him buy it, and off I went. I wonder how many he's selling for Google? lol.
Seriously looking forward to his new creations from this beast.
I do agree, Sense would be pretty BA if possible.
a sense rom will be made, just a matter of time

from your mouth to gods ears...
The sense ui is the bomb. I own the mytouch and have Qteknology's rom installed and although the sense ui is a tad bit slow on it, i REFUSE to go back to the donut ui.
I wish i could find a faster sense rom for my MT3G with full exchange support.
The second i hear N1 has the sense ui i will be all over it.
Not an official one but I would assume that when the Bravo is released it would be pretty easy to port the rom from that over as it's basically the same phone...
hahaha i love how cyanogen has like a flock of followers. tweet "jumping off bridge" and a lot of people would die. yeah actually i couldnt decide whether or not to buy this phone...i had the money but still its a LOT of money and not that big of an upgrade from my g1. dont analyze that comment i know its more amazing in every way its just...i had a hard time deciding if the upgrades / speed was worth $550.
seeing cyanogen get it...kinda put me over the edge...so its coming tomorrow. hahah.
on another note, i feel that cyanogen should finally play with sense/rosie/whatever. i think he stayed away from it on g1 cause it was too slow...but i dont think that will be an issue anymore . so hopefully he includes it...or pieces of it...cause some of their stuff is really cool and would be amazing on this fast phone.

Okay, maybe all of you people just missed the videos of this phone running Android 2.1. I don't understand how you can say Sense UI is better than the 2.1 version that the nexus is running. I mean, live wall papers is enough to get me over the animated widgets. I can't explain it, but I was watching the press conference and what they were doing with the photo gallery was amazing. I like the lock screen on 2.1 better than I do the Sense 2.0 lockscreen. The drag to answer is cool. Just take another look at some of the demo videos. I don't think there is much comparison.
OMG I GOT THE PHONE. and sense is different / better IMO. i havent looked at it in awhile but the widgets were crazy (better than the battery-eating live wallpapers)...and the dialer was definitely better and i dont remember the lockscreen but i think it was cool...idk whenever i used sense i loved it except it was too slow.
I hope I can have Hero's SenseUI on my N1. The new SenseUI for Espresso / 2.1 is quite ugly IMO.
But that is still way better than the vanilla 2.1 UI. No doubt about it

Sorry man. Sense UI is where it's at!
Just think, everything 2.1 can do, Sense can do it better. You can have your cake and eat it too, and then get extra fat on the ice cream and potato chips sitting on the side. Why stop there...
Personally I can't stand Twidroid in comparison to HTC's Peep App, and I love the way home screen looks in comparison to Vanilla Android. Cmon already! Sense Sense Sense it.

So with all the Roms that we have available today for the Droid Eris, which one is the best in every way? Even though very few people im sure have got a chance to try each and every Eris ROM. Give us some input.
Thanks
no such thing as the greatest rom. what I think is the answer, someone else might not agree. now me personally, i like the vanilla/cyanogen roms. currently running celb
I have always been a fan of any ROM done by framework. His work ethic is good and he is responsive to input. He has sensless, Evil Eris, and CyanEris. Right now, however, he is working through some small tweaks that promise to be great when fixed and repackaged into a single ROM again. That said I have recently been on ErisLightningBolt Cyan and it is phenomenal! This is a cyanogen ported ROM that conap is kicking butt on making. With 2.4 it is now extremely stable and EVERYTHING works, except for mms outgoing. It runs smooth, snappy, and cool. It also has the best battery life of the cyanogen ROMs avail right now IMO. As far as non cyan I also loved Aloysius 2.0 Snow. Again another extremely stable rom that everything just works without having to mess with a bunch of crap.

+1 on that! Framework's stuff is always good... he's been a little busy recently, but he's always good with "finishing" his projects!
on top of that... i'm a "no-sense" (literally... lol) kinda guy. i LOVE the Cyanogen ErisLightingBolt release. and, i ALWAYS have a NAND of Tainted Vanilla handy. it WAS my ONLY daily ROM and everything "just worked" with it (super fast and smooth). but man... CELB2.4 is sweet!
however, you'll just have to see what you prefer... and try a few out. that's what i had to do!

I guess im lucky, i havent had the outgoing mms issue with 2.4. I dont often use mms, mostly gmail to send stuff like that, but i have tried it out since i flashed both the rom, and the theme i applied. Of course i also have done the apn fix on the rom, that might have something to do with it but over all i find this extremely stable and well worth downloading

It's impossible that one ROM is "best" in "every way".
The ROM devs focus on different things, and try to optimize those things.
The Froyo ROMs are "the best" at being a 2.2 based ROM - but I doubt anybody uses them day-to-day.
Some people like bug-free, some like eye-candy, some want to optimize their Linpack results, some like Sense, some hate Sense.
What is good about this is that as the devs gain experience making a certain package work well, the other devs get the benefit of their knowledge & experience (hopefully), and all the ROMs get better with time.

I second that. It's pretty much bugless now. Normal battery life and LinPacks in the 5+ range all the time. Facebook sync works as well. You get real time updates and interaction from the developer on Google Wave. It's very interactive getting to have real input on the ROM. Plus, you don't have to deal with people trolling and flaming. Everyone should check it out.
White Widow Official Discussion Wave
WHITE WIDOW IS THE BEST BY FAR
it is also constantly updated and there is an update that should be out pretty soon.
White Widow 3.2
By far.
You'll find it on Google Wave, not the forums. Too much complaining about it.
Fast, vanilla, stable.
I was totally being sarcastic, White Widow is one of the worst, but at least you get the point that you don't want to take anyone's word for it just try them out yourself.

You been bad mouthing WW for weeks. Its understandable, you do not like it. But you made your shots at the developer, not the ROM itself. That's fine, you have a chip on your shoulder.
But it seems a bit odd you try to be sarcastic with very non sarcastic words with little to no reason to do so.
It's a bit more odd you respond to your own sarcasm without being prompted.
In fact, every post I have seen of yours are negative.

Just shows his inability to follow the rules, instead of keeping it separate he distributes it with his ROM, he steals themes, he includes 3rd party applications.

Let's stop making this a 'Let's back up Andrizoid' thread.
He already has a laughable reputation with anyone putting credible and worthwhile effort into developing ROMs. It doesn't much matter what everyone thinks.
As well, it's pretty obvious that taking other peoples' work and having it all seamlessly integrate makes for a GREAT ROM. As it turns out, when everyone else has already done the leg work, and you slap it together, great things can happen. Funny how that works.
White Widow might be a great ROM. That's what this is about. Don't use the fact that you can discuss things on Google Wave with the "developer" (if he calls himself that) as a positive trait of this ROM. It has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't use White Widow on Principle. Let whoever wants to use/download it decide that.
I think Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 is the best stock-looking SenseUI ROM. It is the most stable ROM of ANY ROM (although may be equivalently stable to Plain Jane), and has the most saught after features available to put together with it (apps2sd, overclocking, optimized .pngs in all the .apks, wifi tether, etc). It's my favorite because it LOOKs just like everyone else's hero/eris, but is infinitely more capable.
EvilEris 3 is one of my favorites as well, as again I love SenseUI (every time I go vanilla, I come back to Sense even though its slower), and the skin is perfect. It also includes some of the Sense widgets that Incredible users and Legend users get that weren't included on the Eris (great job with the OpenSense plugin, Framework43 !). Sense crashes sometimes, and the GPS icon stays on the top, but it's because of all of the great features and skinning he's done. Great daily ROM.
just my 2 cents here
If its your code he "stole" take it up with him. If its your friends, inform your friend, otherwise its not much of your concern? unless your into joining that patent lawsuit with Steve B-Jobs
Anyone think there would be a point in making a petition and sending it to Uncle Sammy, so that maybe in the future touchwiz would be an OPTION rather than mandatory?
I kinda think that samsung won't really listen but I'd be willing to give it a try.
Personally I'm going to be using LauncherPro on my Epic, but it would be nice to just shut off the touchwiz UI without rooting and flashing something new.

Unlikely..their goal is to try to improve TouchWiz till the point people like it..these kind of things heps sets manufacturers apart to the average consumer...overall though its not like TouchWiz 3.0 is bad..if anything most people hate it because either they are used to Sense, think it looks like an iphone, or used a previous TouchWiz and didn't like it...if you set this aside its pretty compatible to Sense, some even like it better...
But again..unlikely..
I don't see any problem with Touchwiz, I think it looks awesome, and if someone has a problem with the performance at all, they can just get a different phone. Touchwiz 3.0 has a ton of features that are just great to have, anyway, couldn't you just run a rom if you don't like it?

They didn't say they plan to stop/ban custom UI's.
They said they plan to make custom UI's unnecessary.
I don't think they have to get rid of touchwiz.. just make it optional. Rooting is pretty simple and i'll probably do it, but at the same time, why dont they give the user a choice? Like I said, i'll be using LauncherPro on mine, but I think the gesture would be nice on Sammy's part.

That's because Samsung uses TouchWiz, HTC uses Sense, Motorola uses Blur... it's their version. What you're asking is Honda to sell you a Civic but give you the option to use a Corolla engine... it can be done, but it must be swapped (rooted)
In my opinion TouchWiz > Sense and MotoBlur it's not that bad and honestly if you really don't like it just root the phone and install a custom ROM why petition over something so cosmetic you can petition for a GPS fix if you want to do something productive.

Got proof? Because I don't think that's going to happen.
Gingerbread will improve on Android's basic UI. The way buttons\menus look. The status bar. Etc. You bet your ass manufacturers are still going to load on their custom UIs. HTC has already said that they will include sense when they update their phones to Android 3.0.
I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. If you don't like TW3, install Launcherpro or ADW. Wait for a custom rom which gets rid of TW3 (like senseless roms for EVO). It's only a matter of time before the Cyanogen team puts out a 100% AOSP rom for it anyway. But for those who don't liek rooting... Launcherpro.

see this thread
thought I'd update this thread to point to another more recent thread: How to disable touchwiz
To be honest, Touchwiz is my favorite UI I've used.
Thats above Sense, MotoBlur, Stock, etc.
Always have been a fan of the color themes, love the lockscreen, the dialer, and even coming to like the ****ty horizontal app drawer.
If Samsung can improve Touchwiz to have the media player and other features that are on the other Galaxies, it would be even better!
I was going to say, it's easy enough to turn off. Yeah, I don't care for it, but it's not a big deal to make the vanilla launcher the default one. You don't have to install or remove anything, or need root.
I'm sure I will get flamed but here goes anyway. Everyone is jumping on to the MIUI bandwagon, and yes in my opinion it does have a few cool features, but not enough to win me over. Am I the only one on XDA that kind of dislikes this rom? I've tried to like it but I just can't. I like roms that tend to be more stock anyway, I think modded froyo such as enom's rom and cyanogenmod etc. have all of the features and beauty that I need. I see a lot of people saying think iOS and Android together! If I wanted iOS I would own an iPhone and not a N1.
I understand it is all preference and whatnot, but I can't be the only one who hates the MIUI interface. FM Radio cool! Interface not cool! I know I can install other launchers but to me that kind of defeats the whole purpose of running this rom.
I'm not going to mess with it anymore, I just wanted to give it a chance.
Am I the only one who doesn't care for this rom?
Sorry for the rant

Haven't tried it. It looks nice and well done but the iOS styling doesn't draw me in

Probably.. I just don't see what the big deal is about this rom. I posted in the general forum so I am allowed to express an opinion/vent a little about a rom thats getting a lot of attention and I personally don't see what all the hype is about.
By the way you did read and reply to my thread.
Yea you're correct in stating that installing other launchers defeats the purpose. I liked it for about a week but went back cyan...now i'm on micromods hybrid...for me the sense roms got me hyped up. If the Mui wasnt iphone'd up then it would actually be really sweet but that whole iphone thing just ruins the experience and awww of having an android device
I agree with you OP. I dont like it at all. Now the fact they made a new UI is cool, but like OP said, if I wanted iOS, I would have bought an iPhone
haha fair enough.
I am not too big on the iphone icons either. However, I do like the lock screen, speed, and the battery life.
Also it isnt as obvious as in cyan, but it does have .flac support and will stop playing music when you disconnect. However it will not play upon reconnecting.

The lock screen is slick. It does seem speedy, I can't confirm battery life only because I wasn't able to use it long enough to really wear on a battery. I do appreciate that there are so many choices with custom roms and the dev team that created this rom has obviously worked hard and it shows. That is the beauty of android, so many choices. It is a very pretty rom no doubt, but I just prefer a more stock type interface.
The MIUI ROM looks nice, but I also prefer a stock, simple look. Im happy to see them pushing the envelope though.
the big hype is because MIUI is a complete overhaul, different than what we are used to. Sometimes a change once in awhile is good, and MIUI is a great change I jump from cyan to MIUI. FM radio, lockscreen, and the UI is amazing, I do prefer different style icons but that's about it
It's a very, very optimized ROM. Battery life, speed, the super-neat toggles in the notification tray. You can just install another launcher and still benefit from all of the above plus the great lock screen, FM radio, and excellent phone/SMS/contact apps.
I Agree, with launcher it's really a nice rom !!
I like the resent part who include a task killer.

Same thing for you, if you don't like MIUI Rom don't use it. Try it, if you don't like it restore nandroid backup and forget about it...
And shut up, keep it for yourself that you don't like it.

Umm...dont use it then?
Just want to say I tried the port for my Inc, but went back to cm6.
Though I don't feel as if its my flavor of ROM, I do want to say it is very innovative, and probably the first (at least on ROMs for the Inc) of its kind to really truly redesign the interface.
So while I don't use it, I would definitely like to see more transformations of this kind.

I'm sure I will get flamed but here goes anyway. Everyone is jumping on to the MIUI bandwagon, and yes in my opinion it does have a few cool features, but not enough to win me over. Am I the only one on XDA that kind of hates this rom? I've tried to like it but I just can't. I like roms that tend to be more stock anyway, I think modded froyo such as enom's rom and cyanogenmod etc. have all of the features and beauty that I need. I see a lot of people saying think iOS and Android together! If I wanted iOS I would own an iPhone and not a N1.
I understand it is all preference and whatnot, but I can't be the only one who hates the MIUI interface. FM Radio cool! Interface not cool! I know I can install other launchers but to me that kind of defeats the whole purpose of running this rom.
I'm not going to mess with it anymore, I just wanted to give it a chance.
Am I the only one who hates this rom?
Sorry for the rant

Well i guess you have a wrong concept of the MIUI rom. It is not because of the launcher ppl like the rom. But because of the tweaks. till now there are no roms to my knowledge where you could change the lockscreen within the android os. ( i am not talking of 3rd party apps like widget locker....., here it's different. it's the native one being modified. ) we havent been able to change native phone and contact.apk, we were just applying themes. but the MIUI is different. Even when you go to settings in the menu, you'll observe how things get snappier and all bouncy. Not to mention the little menu's in the lockscreen ( now being seen in the sense HD), answer&reject mods when receiving calls... and the FM radio which were unknown and still being documented in the xda community. Basically everything has been modifies here, even the mms.apk.
so i guess it is wrong to make such an assumption based only on the launcher which ressembles the iphone. I have been using the MIUI with launcher pro and I had amazing battery life.
If you do not like a rom , just don't use it. Why dont u make another thread saying that rodriguezstyle is too greenish or micromod's roms are too glassy ( sorry chefs , lol . it was just to make my point). or maybe somebody else should start another thread saying i hate stock looking roms! Of course you can come up with all these talks that xda is a community forum, everybody has the right to bla bla bla , democracy.... and you do have the right but it is all about MANNERS and RESPECT here! You do not critise someone's work ( which you are getting for free btw) just because of ur taste!!
Two things...
Why are the new gingerbread ROMs (OMGB and Evervolv) themed and modified to hell and back? Why can't someone just import things (one by one) to build a stock vanilla gingerbread ROM, and then work from there? I don't want anything altered from the basic vanilla ROM but here we are, dealing with all these customizations and different themes already applied and apps thrown onto there (other than the basics like SU). I don't want any music app on my phone so WHY FORCE ME TO HAVE ONE? I don't want to only have to choose between 2 ROMs to enjoy gingerbread this early. This ultimately leads me having to alter things to GET IT BACK TO A VANILLA ROM.
Also, why must all themes have to be rainbow-eccentric and have no "flowing" colors? Most of the themes are just an eye-sore and make me think the "designer" is colorblind and leaves me to theming everything myself. No, the app doesn't look good if it has a STRONG RED next to a DEEP BLACK, with STRONG BLUE somewhere mixed in.
so, if you dont like whats being offered by the devs, step up and make your own ROM's. if you read through the threads, most users do like what is being offered and that is why they are so popular. personally i cant stand the vanilla android experiance and am currently rocking Nils Biz-sence rom...

This.
Why haven't you "imported things (one by one) to build a stock vanilla gingerbread ROM" if it's so easy? These devs are theming their ROMs to their (and other users') liking, and they are nice enough to post them here. Appreciate that for what it is.
I'd like a vanilla rom that I could customize myself, but I would prefer to have someone else do the work so I'll take what they give me.

I'm not saying it's easy, I can't do what the CM team has done, (because that's what they're doing; taking the CM fixes, applying them, and theming it to their liking) but why are the 2 only ROM dev's right now working on adding **** to a version of android that ISN'T already built for the Incredible? Why can't they make a vanilla ROM, AND THEN customize it to their liking?

So you'd rather have what someone else likes and thinks is "right" instead of what YOU want on YOUR phone? I'm not saying it's a bad thing but why wouldn't you want your own customizations instead of someone elses?

Pretty sure OMGB is stock vanilla. With rare exceptions, one being messaging being on the launcher instead of the browser.

what the hell are you talking about? have you even started up the gingerbread emu or searched screenshots of GB?
holy **** man, it is vanilla. that's how google released 2.3, with the black status and lime green/orange icons. use whatever launcher you want.
these are free ROMS from unpaid developers, who are porting the ROMs and allowing you to run them WAY BEFORE it would be available to you OTA.
dude srsly

The last build I tried, it said "WeDoDroid" instead of "Verizon Wireless" or even "T-CDMA". Also, the change you just mentioned, different kernals used, different music app, probably other things I can't remember.

Refer to my last post quoting someone else and the list of modifications, it's obvious you didn't read my entire post and just quoted a single line.
I should also clarify that I AM thankful for all the free **** us users get from this community, no doubt about that, but I'm just merely confused about how people go about things.

i read your post. you are complaining about colors and designs.
its obvious you don't know what GB is supposed to look like.
Go install eclipse and start up the GB SDK in an emu and you'll see how great the "stock vanilla GB" really is. not.

but at the same time i in the beginning steps of my brand new laptop and im going to start compiling roms on my own.

ROM developing
step 1 - get a computer
step 2 - learn to spell "definitely"
step 3 - learn to program in java
step 4 - learn to use linux
step 5 - learn extensible markups and the android os
step 6 - cook a rom
step 7 - post it on xda and ask for donations for step 8
step 8 - buy a 1337 t-shirt and a case of red bull
almost there

I'm talking about graphical modifications, such as the different font (on Evervolv) and "WeDoDroid" on OMGB. If you would've kept reading the thread I mentioned a list of things to someone else a couple posts from my first one, but I don't expect people to do that

I knew I shouldn't have posted here, it's like dealing with idiots. Most of you are missing my original point.
But to address you, I've put hours into making my own ROM so it's to my own liking, and no I'm not going to upload it to the forums or show you proof because I simply do not feel the need to prove something to anonymous forum users for satisfaction.
Then just use your own ROM dude....

I am! I just wish that instead of giving us only 2 choices for gingerbread ROM, they'd start off with a basic vanilla one and then work from that, instead of customizing what they want before the ROM is even fully functioning.
