[Dev question] Porting device UI's - Epic 4G General

What all goes into porting a ui from one device to another? I was interested a while back in having sense on my epic, I know there was a team working on it, but I would like to know for myself ho something like that is done.
I don't know much about coding, or linux, but I would like to get more into how it all works.

Insanely hard. Its not just like a simple skin. I will let someone more knowledgeable than me answer correctly, but It has hooks deep into the OS that all need to be translated to our hardware.

I didn't figure it would be easy at all, I'm just interested in learning all of that kind of stuff. Maybe I can learn and start helping to port that kind of stuff.

I dont know about other UI's, but I remember reading from the people that were porting the Sense UI how ridiculously hard it is. A good place to start would be to find that thread. Been a while since I have seen it, probably could use a bump to the top anyways.

If you just like the look of the sense dock/widgets there is a zip somewhere around here with icons for launcher pro and beautiful widgets from the market will take care of your widgets...I can post the zip if that's all you are looking for

I would like that but to be honest I really want the actual ui itself

Made the front page of XDA!

I'm totally blown away by this... I thought the bootanimation was nice but it really didnt do much until today and all of a sudden my thread blew up. So I guess I'm on the front page and thats why.

Thanks Guys
Honestly didn't expect it and was really surprised to see it today. My d/l's on it shot threw the roof over night and I was kinda baffled as to why and then one of the user said I made gizmodo so I googled "Screaming Android" and it was everywhere.
I'm actually kinda humbled cause I really didn't expect it. Sure the wife will be happy to hear it since she was kinda annoyed on the amount of time I spent on it without asking for any donations (probably will never ask) or trying to sell it.
This makes me want to release the other versions I made (like 3 more) some are un-branded. Maybe I'll look through and see what allot of you were asking for.
I can't wait to see what you do next

Advice for someone who wants to start romming

I kinda want to get into developing, but I don't know where to start or how to start. I want to make a personal one until I get some knowledge in case something makes a booboo. Also kinda looking to make a kernal.

I don't mean to be rude but its called Developing... not Romming.... just FYI... good luck dude!!!
[Viper ROM] DK17 by BThomas22x
Ok man, if I were you I would play around with a linux box to get to know linux commands, then I would play with modding the kernel on that linux computer. I recommend this so you don't build a rom with a how to and. Then put it on your phone and end up with a brick.

In the near future I'm going to buy a new hard drive for my desktop computer and will install windows 7 and linux(Ubuntu the newest version) so I can duel boot. Is there a suggested linux OS?
Now before you ask "why do you need a new hard drive?" Well that is because somehow I lost it, dont ask me how ha.
I shall try my best to learn!
Can't start until I replace my mobo; but should be done within the next week and a half

Looks nice, thanks for the heads up.
The gentleman in the video had actually posted up a thread about it on the forum about a week ago and for some reason the admin's shut it down pretty quickly......
Does anybody know where to get the zip file for this port?

So, not sure what I did wrong, but when I try to instal OMHC, it won't allow me to. Running Gingerbread based Recovery, ClockworkMod. Is this something that can be worked around, or no?
Is it CWM 3.0?? I know a bunch of things have issues with that recovery.

Agreed. He's awesome. No ones perfect. I personally don't care about all of the drama, I just care about how the ROMs.

And back to trying toto help the Guy who made this thread. Are you using version 3.0 recovery?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
For what it is worth, I can state that this will install using recovery 2.5.0.5, as I just got done doing so.
Yep, i've reverted back as far as ROM manager allows and so far so good with backing up any ROM and flashing any ROM
As far as this Honeycomb port goes, I wish I had this on my Gtab. Obviously needs some work, but wow this is a 10 on the cool factor. Who cares who did it or not, these Dev's deserve mad respect for their time and hard work. I actually approached the dev for a port on the Gtab and he says he's been trying, but still no luck. As an owner and avid Gtab forumster, I can say that many people on the Gtab forums would consider this guy a god if he were successful on porting this over.
Everybody chill out about the drama and give props where it's due. This is awesome news and fantastic work.
Yes, it is. Is there another recovery I could use?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yea go into rom manager and at the bottom it has older recoveries use a 2. whatever one.
flashed for a little but forgot to install gapps. pretty useless right now most stuff doesnt work. along with the bad lag its also pretty hard to navigate since its made for a tablet. things are really small and the mouse has to be moved with the toggle which is a pain in the ass among many other things. might go back to it and try gapps just for ****s and gigs. otherwise useless. will be cool when the bionic comes out and a port comes to that.

DInc honeycomb port

Since the evo got the honeycomb port, shouldn't we be next in line?
We do have it. Its just useless for a phone since its not designed for a phone. r2 has a port but dont think anybody cares to try it to be honest

He put some paid apps into a rom mad long ago and got banned. He made new accounds and kept making roms. So yea...
Noooooooo... We have the Phone Interface of Honeycomb. The EVO has the real deal: The Tablet Honeycomb Interface.
Hopefully, someone takes interest in it.

lol, haven't really done too much for you guys, besides Run the Bible and keep it up to date.. But thanks Though =)
And thank you for being Supportive
$100?
You're ballin'
Sounds like a great idea!
You might also want try posting under the Main Android Directory Themes and Apps, will get more exposure there too.
probably the easiest way for someone to do this would be to manipulate the xda app/tapatalk app so it just opens to the bible thread.
with that said, youre offering a lot of money for something that is already very easy. just favorite the bible thread in one of these apps, or put a bookmark on your homescreen for instant access.
This would be a sweet app.

I don't really think that it's the app's fault. After all, they draw from the same database that a computer browser would - only it gets displayed for mobile viewing pleasure. I could be wrong, but I think it's just how fast your data connection speed is on your phone, and whether or not you're using wifi or regular signal.
While it wouldn't take a lot of work to probably make a little somethin' somethin' to have the bible displayed a certain way, you'll still probably run into the same issue as data flows from the same sources.
