One of our members, udK, posted this video of him running HTC's Sense UI on Froyo. He is running the test build, and so far it looks great!
IT IS OUT! For desire only right now, but the devs are about to start porting, currently confirmed 2 Devs are porting.
UPDATE: Desire ROM 2.2 is fully working I assume, as the devs working on it say it might be out by tonight. Hopefully the Nexus will get a full port by tomorrow... No promises from either parties though.
Another update: Not coming until tomorrow evening.
Things HTC added:
720p Recording
Torch
Application Sharing App
Plurk
Hotspot
Apps2SD
More Widgets
Seems smoother than before. It gets 39MFLOPS
and More
Any chance for a leak so Modaco or King can get it running on our Nexus'?

link please?
was hoping HTC would update the overall look of it to sexify it a bit more like they did between 1.5 and 2.1 Sense UIs
I think they did a tiny bit, The title bars seem flat now, compared to 2.1's rounded look. Looks sleeker.
Still wouldn't mind it, it gets 39MFLOPS, meaning JIT is there!
Just what I have been wanting!

yea just modaco, not King. its basically the same thing anyways
anywho, i love sense ui and i would love to have this on my nexus one. it just seems like these nexus one roms dont have enough space memory for apps so id hope we have the option for Apps2SD
Well if the Desire can do 720p recording without any hacks, I suspect the Google folks will have to get on and sort out the N1's camera, else they're giving the Desire a large advantage over the N1.

What I really like and is essential is the better quality apps for Exchange support, Email/Calendar etc..are so much better from the Desire Rom, the features/options are much richer than the stock Rom. Simple things like move an item from you inbox to a subfolder in exchange doesn't exist on the stock Android.
It's the only reason I run Desire Rom on the N1 personally.
If it weren't for the Desire Rom, I likely would have sold the N1 shortly after purchase and went back to the iPhone. Sad I know. Still can't play GSM wav files from my Avaya modular messaging server though the Android without the RemoveWave app...Froyo didn't fix that either.
That stuff is 101 WinMo, iPhone, Blackberry device support...Android/Google can't seem to get one simple thing working like this in their Rom.
well i wonder when we will be able to have this on our N1 ... hopefully soon enough
I got to play with an Incredible today. I liked Sense UI. It was slick. Quite a bit of work went into it and it felt smooth and polished. Quite nice. My N1 is better now that I have ADW.launcher, but I'd love to try out Sense UI on here for a while.
Hopefully CM6 will have a nice interface and all, I think I might finally unlock my N1 to get CM6. Hopefully I can get something like Sense UI on there as well.

CM doesn't change the interface at all but you can apply themes and morphs to it to change the overall look.
I've used sense UI so much but I just can't get into it over vanilla android. It's very existence is in a way making any sense UI phone a closed source device dependent on HTC to update. A whole second layer of someone interfering. Give me standard android!

I hope with the release of Gingerbread, Sense won't be some of the things we Vanilla users sometimes crave.

i have tried it this morning but its not usable
the graphics is scattered and i was not getting the cellular network
its like very very very alpha and can't be used.....i didnt check anyother options
I am a fan of cyanogenmod, as many others, but i hate the stock android camera app. so my request is that someone good with porting/baksmali can port this apk and make it work. i think the camera app is the only disadvantage of stock android/cyanogen.
Wishlist
HTC Gallery
HTC Camera with 720p
HTC Contacts/Phone?
(more?)
Any one else wanting them? let me and devs know by commenting!
Progress:
One developer will work at porting FroYo HTC camera and 720p. (ralle.gade)
+1 on that and i would like htc gallery witch is way faster.

1+ on htc gallery
I am desperate for the HTC camera / 720p camcorder for a ROM without sense
+1!!
count me in hate the stock camera/video app not many settings to play whit
the issue that will probably come to light is that it will no doubt need the htc sense framework, not sure if just the frame work can be ported or not
the contact app would also be sweet ^_^
The contact app is lovely on the stock HTC Desire sense 2.1
What I really miss about the camera is the tap to focus/hold to take photo part. I took some photos at a concert the other night on the stock android camera and it just could NOT hold focus.
may the developers be with us.
The contacts app on Sense is horrible. I find it really slow and unpleasent to use. I'm fairly sure that it plays a large role in Facebook sync not working.
I would love the Sense calendar though.
Also, the Sense browser (well, just the text selection bit) and the Sense USB connection type screen would be amazing!
Or if the official Facebook and Twitter would integrate into a Sense rom like they do in Opendesire / any other Android build, it'd be fantastic.
The upcoming open desire rom may have 720p. Not sure if this means the htc camera or not, but it's a start
Paul O'Briain has posted it over to his Nexus roms, so that could be worth a look at.

Same! HTC Camera and Contacts would be nice in CyanogenMod 6!
The text selection would be amazing. The default Froyo text selection is so poor in comparison. I'd happily pay for good text selection.
Come on ppl! I'm not as good as you. You guys can handle it!
Rip those HTC Apk's.
XDA for Rip!
I would like to add HTC Footprints to the list. Or have anyone found a substitute?

There is no alternative which can come close to the HTC one.

There's a thread in the Dev forum from a chap attempting to port the Nexus/Modaco Camera across to OpenDesire.
YES! that would be fantastic! I'd happily buy him a pint for that
Just installing OD as of right now as it is.
My phone has more Sense than me...
and i DONT like it
Is it possible for the new htc sense ui to be ported to the droid x, similar to what has been done with the droid incredible with the desire hd rom port.
I am sure it is possible but demand might be pretty low...

Would it though? I just started playing and setting up my wife's DInc and I was pretty impressed with how HTC integrated everything and how easy it was to access data.
Kinda makes me wish HTC had a 4 inch screen sized phone before the DX came out
I think jago x is right htc sense does a way better job of making android better
That's not to say it is perfect (it does have some bloat) but at least the bloat isn't as bad as the D2 and DX. Motoblur on the DX has a TON of stuff running in the background.
Very true, but i would like all the innovations like the 2 second boot that comes with the desire hd rom port
I would probably use and donate towards well done sense port. I really hope this thread doesn't turn into a "well you should have gotten an incredible" thread, like one over at droidforums did.
The skinning for a lot of the often used features in android is, I think, better than most other UI shells and a lot of the htc apps are really nice with good widgets as well.
It would mainly be really nice though just for the ability to change it up every once in a while, and I'm getting a bit tired of launcherpro.
I have to choose either epic or evo tomorrow, and would like the epic cause of the screen quality and the video quality.. but the evo has sense and i simply cant live without it..my question is would there anytime soon be a sense port to the epic? cause i would love to have the best of both worlds.. i dont want no alternative widgets ect..i want sense on that amazin amoled screen...
If I can remember there was a team of people trying to port it, but haven't heard from then in awhile
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It's being worked on right now. by 2 devs, 2 good devs, who will most likely have it done a few days after the official froyo release.
Sense? Are you serious? Just go get an EVO cause if your buying an Epic to put Sense on it you could be waiting forever. And also the Epic is to nice a phone to ruin it with Sense.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
get the EVO, we don't need another "krazie" in here posting in the wrong section.
OP reported as belonging in the general section.
If you want Sense, just get an Evo. No port will function 100% like official Sense from HTC. Personally, I hate all these customized launchers from manufacturers (Sense, Touchwiz, etc.) as they're slow and laggy, and I just use LauncherPro (ADW is great as well).

LOL..yea ok. I know its being worked on, but its far from being even close
Fck sense I had it on mts3gs and its nothing special,how about porting Xperia X10 Rachel or Acer Breeze ui they look way better and offer way more functionality,i even like our Epic's Twiz better than sence.
Yeahh i was just trying to get the thread over with. i hate stupid questoins
I thought I would miss sense when coming from the touch pro 2 to the epic. Boy was I wrong.. sense is so slow in comparison to the eic running launcher pro or adw.. sense has sme cool features but nothing that you can't download or add with launcher pro.. but if you really want 100% sense go with the evo.. I'm sure either way you won't be dissapointed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I personaly like sense and hate touchwiz however owning both an evo (wife) and epic (myself) I can tell you performance/battery/screen...etc wise the epic is a better phone. I miss sense as well but nothing you can't be without. Get the epic!
thanks to everybody who gave me positive feedback. to all the rude people making smart comments, i would like to cuss you guys out but im going to be an adult about the situation. with that being said, Im going to get the evo..simply because I believe the camera will be modded by developers..i have seen the youtube videos and all and have been blown away by the epics quality as far as audio and video camera..but i simply cant live without sense..the calender and peep widget and email widget have me in love

What you like isn't really relevant to the OP.
Check out this thread and the video. Had the guy fooled into thinking it's SenseUI but it's actually just a theme and widgets. Take a quick look at it, you might just find it suites your taste.
+1 for adw
Sense is aright, but really....on the epic...
I hate TW myself. So went with adw and never looked back! My roomie has adw on his evo and would never go back to sense.

+1 to the Launcherpro comment. The widgets are just as nice, if not better because of the better speed.
I don't believe there is a email widget though... the Samsung email application is simple enough and handles emails like a dream though, the exchange calendars sync right up to, AND the launcherpro widget can pull in everything even from the Samsung calendar app. It's fairly nice.
It's really all about personal preference, I'd pick based on the pros and cons of each that aren't software related, because even if the official sense never makes it to the epic there are alternatives that will do the same thing, look just as good, and be faster and easier on the battery. At the heart of Android lies Linux.. and like anything Linux you can customize to your hearts content.
The Epic trounces the Evo in terms of performance, the evo has a bigger screen but the epics is higher quality, battery life is better on the epic, the evo gets faster updates but the epic in theory might get them longer with the superior hardware, the epic has a pretty good hardware keyboard the evo has an awesome touch screen keyboard (which can be installed on the epic), epic 3D performance is outstanding while the Evo's is so-so but not bad, the evo's build quality seems better and the epic feels less solid due to its keyboard slider (you will have that tiny tiny amount of play in the screen even closed like most slider phones have). List goes on and on. You can't go wrong with either really.
Just watched that video of "pseudo sense" hilarious.....
you can get anything you want, to look like anything you want for android. You just gotta be persistent. If you like the Hardware of the Epic, go with the epic. You might get tired of Sense.
I have the Epic and the Evo.. Rocked the Evo for a week and a half and went back to the Epic. Just better quality screen and got bored of Sense.
I been using Go Launcher on the epic and I like it better than Launcher Pro may wanna try it out its free and uses less memory.
i have the desire HD, my friend has the samsung, his screen looks absolutely amazing, its so clear, crisps and clean, my desire looks cloudy and nowhere near as bright side by side, do us HTC users have a rom that is going to make my phone as nice without having to pay for a whole new handset? i do find the sense overlay to be messy now, it was good at one point but now its just muddled...
I came from original galaxy s to my inspire and have always thought the display was horrible??
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Well Yes and No.
hardware wise
The screen is just plain LCD(or Slcd ) and will never be as vibrant as galaxy s2' S Amoled screen which is able to produce deep blacks and deeper colours.
BUT
Software wise: sense has this "glossy" theme which can be arguably clunky and ugly at times. The s2 A's software interface is more streamlined and less cluttered, which probably is more pleasing to the eye.
You can have a similar UI to the samsung S2 by downloading AOSp roms like CM7 OR MIUI.IMO this makes the screen seem "less cloudy" . Check it out at the development section?

currently running a miui rom, but just seems like an iphone port, have tried cyanogen before, but couldnt be bothered to tweak the home screen, saw some beauties around but dont have time to do much.
maybe i`ll book a week off work and have a mess around...
cheers guys.
try reducing your screen dpi if its supported by your rom. Its somehow a new handset experience...
To the Amoled Screens: my brother has the galaxy s and a friend the s2...both screens i find ether blueish or greenish. which they told me came with time.
