New HTC sense UI with fast boot - Vibrant General

Can this be acheived on the vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

Not possible

i hope sense gets ported over to the vibrant at some point after we finally get froyo.
ive realized not too many people in vibrant want sense, but over in captivate forums they want it

It has some pretty awesome themes.

Doesn't the G2 take almost a minute to boot up after you take out the battery and then turn it on?

and my cat has blue hair, but that has absolutely nothing to do with Sense on our vibrants.
Sense is strictly an HTC ui. It would have to be completely rewritten for it to work. I seriously doubt that any dev, unless they are either completely bored or out of their mind, would undertake rewriting Sense. It wouldn't be as simple as a port.

If the milestone has sense ported into it why cant the sense ui be ported to the vibrant

If you are talking about the team I think you are, they said they are waiting for official froyo to do it..
Once official froyo source drops. Things will go more smoothly.. its amazing that our devs here have made the progress they have given the lack of necessity available.

I was just about to make a thread asking about the development of this Galaxy Sense we heard about last month.
With launcher pro a custom dock and beautiful widgets you can make your homescreens look just like the sense ui if you want it for the ascetics or as a placeholder til it gets ported

The Hero was the first android phone I ever owned, I loved sense on it because there were so many ways to customize it to my liking, tw just sucks, I want to go back to the evo so I can go back to the sense + froyo + CM6, but the epic's keyboard and excellent performance are keeping me here

Yeah I know alot of people like it pure google.
but to me it just isnt appealing or as functional.
the hero was my first android device so I did get spoiled
with htc sense. Just to my likings that it brought a better
experience and refresh to the Android interface. Widgets and apps.
I prefer it over TW. There are just a few things I prefer TW
over sense per say.
I think the rom was released and then discontinued for the galaxy s i9000 due to the devs having muliple issues that they were not able to resolve. Link to post --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877902
The only thing I ever liked about Sense UI were the widgets and the Weather effects.
With LauncherPro, you can get pretty much identical widgets, and then Beautiful Widgets will give you the same look of the clock widget. Plus, LauncherPro is infinitely customizable and you can do pretty much anything with it....
Sense UI has always been extremely laggy and slow in all the times I've used it, as a ROM port on my Nexus, and also stock on the Evo/Hero.
Wouldn't mind trying it out again on my Epic though!
The older version of fancy widget is also a wonderful alternative to the sense clock/weather widget.

myTouch 4G Motoblur Rom!!!

Has anyone Tried porting the droid x rom to the mytouch 4G or is it just me with the crazy idea that the red eye would look cool as h*ll i have the live wallpaper now i wish i had the real deal droid X was first choice before mytouch wish it worked on gsm 4g
I doubt we would see It. IT just takes a insaine amount of work to port different hardware makers roms to different hardware. thats why you never saw a sense rom fully running on motorola hardware. But you do see HTC Sense roms running on other HTC hardware that did not come with Sense (like G1 running Hero rom for example). You would have to reverse enginer the kernel, framework, and drivers to add the neccicary API calls.

True, but I remember when Motorola first came out with the Cliq, they ported it over to the G1.
Please do not post questions in development section.

do you just have the various DX Eye LWPs or do ya have the Bootanimations to go with the LWPs?
I find it kinda fun to mess with folks at my local TMO store by booting up my Glacier and it having the Droid Pro Bootani, then having one of the modded DX LWPs and shuting down into the D2 Bootani. however I am partial to the Pre-release/Holiday edition Nexus 1 boot ani for my daily driver.
I just have the live wallpaper now
Someone needs to call dexter I would so donate 50$ for this project and another 50$ if it full works

here's the link to a .zip I just put up on megaupload with the bootanimations for the D2, DX and Droid Pro. after downloading unzip, select which ever one you want to use and install like any other Boot ani.

no problem man, I get bored sitting in my truck waiting to get unloaded so I troll around the other boards looking for bootanimations, LWPs and such that work on other phones and try'em out on mine if they work I keep'em and use'em to play around pushing and pulling in and out of various ROMs.

[Q] sense gingerbread rom?

I haven't been a member here for long. I love what you guys do I'm running gingerbread right now on my HTC mytouch 4g I love it but I also miss the sense and the way the glacier looks. Is there anyway someone can combine the glacier with gingerbread. That would just be great. Thanks guys hope someone can help

+1 to this l, bro. However, given that there are no sense-based phones with an official gingerbread update from HTC, this seems highly unlikely to happen until then. Otherwise the rom will need to be built from scratch, which makes such a thing highly undeaireable from the Dev standpoint, I'd imagine.

alright, perhaps I need to rephrase. I find that, compared to the crap on the stock rom, a True sense-based ROM is much less bogged down with useless software (IMHO)and includes programs I actually like and use (reader, locations, htc hub for skins, etc). Yes, compared to an AOSP rom or CM, it is much more bloated, but all that comes from the polish applied to the UI which I happen to find quite appealing, but which some do not.
+1 to that... Sense is such a great thing, i love everything it has to offer! just wish the battery life could be a bit better~ other than that i use it as my daily driver!
I know alot of people who don't like sense, when I ask why they can't Answer why. Sense looks good and works great. If someone could combine it with gingerbread I would be hooked. My first sense phone was the hd2 and after coming to the mytouch and seeing how good the sense was I was pleased with what they did.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
htc sense is very nice vs stock android.. stock android is sooooooooo boring and doesnt have all the nice widgets that htc sense hooks it up with and the nice looking ui. but the only good thing about stock android is it doesnt take up as much ram as the htc sense does. thats the only thing ive noticed different. also gingerbread is nice to run but i keep going back to htc sense for all the nice widgets.. i really love the weather one.. ive seen apps like it but they arent the same at all.

I for one prefer the AOSP look of Android. And loath Sense, It's so much bloat for not enough to warrant it. and if you want those widgets you get to download what you want. And Launcher Pro has a good chunk of those widgets included in the launcher.
as far as "weather widgets" the one off the LG 2X is perfect enough for me.

Sense 3.0

Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?
Oh... boy... here we go.. i admire you for having the balls to ask about Sense UI in Samsung thread. Hehe. Short answer is NO!!!

You never know.. The original SGS has turned out a terrific developers phone so if the SGS2 has unlocked bootloaders i cant see why not
If htc sense is that important though just wait from the sensation

I'd love to have it, with the recent reports showing the horsepower that it have coupled with Sense 3.0 that would be the perfect phone to have
If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

I see you have a Motorola Atrix 4G. What do you think about it? I'm in doubt between Atrix, S II and Sensation.
Thank you!
Ugh, how can people even like Sense. It is the worst android UI out of all the custom ones out there.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.
Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Couldn't have put it better, dude. trouble is, can we have the best of both worlds?
Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk
I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)

[REQ] Touch Wiz Based Rom for g2?

Most people with touchwiz want to get rid of it. Those who don't have it want it. Lulz.

I love the contacts app for touchwiz, sliding left or right to send messages or call, easier then opening the contact then clicking call or message (because you dont have to open it, less to load, less time wasted).
I think touch wiz is pretty. i love the dialer as well. surprised no one ported it yet
Touchwiz is great. Some people hate the launcher and are misinformed to think the launcher is what lagged out the vibrant. My kb5 vibrant with touchwiz runs great...I love all of the touchwiz features.

Lol I know. Samsung needs to learn how to use proper file systems and they would be alot better off. They finally did with the vibrant 4g, too bad there is ZERO dev interest. I actually owned it for awhile till I realized it was never gonna go anywhere. They barely have a half broken clockwork mod that has not been updated since 4/24 or even a much as an update from the dev about what is going on. Makes me EXTREMELY thankful for our wonderful community.
