Its okay flame it...I am in 4G area and I want ROMs with 4G. Or name one stable non-sense rom with 4G.

Couple things here. You spelled Sense wrong in the first word. And why would you post this in DEVELOPMENT?? Yea, its a Sense phone, but people don't want all the clunk. Slows down the phone a lot compared to AOSP, have you even tried AOSP?

umad? umad?
no one forces you to download non-sense roms, its a preference, just like the car you drive, the brand of cereal you eat, the kind of clothing you choose to wear.
Which AOSP should I try which gives all the ease of SENSE ( Spelled correct I think), with 4G and stability of stock rom? If you can point me to one I would appriciate it.
My point was why not work on making a better SENSE ROM, that windows mobile people used to do.
Sweety no one forces me to download anything, its just that this sections says its for HTC while it seems like its more for AOSP.
ITT: the op has no idea what is going on in the android development section lol

HTC is a corporation that manufactures these phones.
The Evo was made by HTC. The Evo runs Android.
HTC made an interface to place over Android OS (Sense). AOSP is Android OS without the Sense add-on. Both are Android OS.
Now that we cleared that up, the dev forum supports both Sense and AOSP because both use Android OS. What would be the point of two different development forums, one for AOSP and one for Sense? There would be a good reason if it weren't for the fact that in the thread titles you can clearly see AOSP or Sense. Just use control + F.
Spotted this beauty on the latest post section on the xda app and I couldn't help myself. This is utterly brilliant.

Oh well. I hate Sesnse anyway.
Well I'm not even going to say most of the things that I want to about this thread, but I will say this.............OP: you ask what stable non-Sense ROMs have 4G? I run 2 that I know are stable and have 4G and they are Virus Airborne and Calkulin Evio. AND, they both have Sense features as far as dialer, lockscreen, keyboard, email, etc., just not the Sense launcher. I love using Launcher Pro Plus instead of Sense anyway, but prefer Sense for the other things so these ROMs are perfect for me as they are a mix. Also, these ROMs have .zips so you can make it all AOSP if you want...the choice is yours. So, search the forums for a change, and try out some ROMs before starting a thread ranting about stuff that you dont know about.....peace
Is it possible to add HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic? Is there a launcher that can do this or just complete different UI theme or even a complete ROM? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

LauncherPro is an alternative launcher that can be used with the epic -- However, although there is 'HTC Sense' themse for the launcher itself, I think they would have to be ported over for it to work.
TouchWiz is great, I had hero before epic. In my opinion TW definitely out performs Sense, and isn't as bulky. First question everyone will ask you is "Why not just bye the evo if you wanted Sense?"

I have the Epic Experience ROM currently flashed I think, and it has Launcher Pro (I also think, ha). What you're saying is that there are HTC Sense themes for Launcher Pro? Mind explaining how I would be able to change the theme of Launcher Pro to have HTC Sense? And there's a simple, easy answer for that question; The Epic has a nice keyboard that the EVO does not.
You will need to do some google work. First find a LauncherPro sense theme. Then research how to port it over to epic.

You can add Sense UI by buying an EVO
As far as actually adding HTC Sense to this phone: It won't happen mostly because Sense is all closed source.

I have a evo as well with sense custom rom and it a lot more functional as far as features go. I love sense, to bad its not availble on the epic. You can always get an evo however the evo doesn't compare to the epic in power. Movies, games and eveything looks better on the epic thanks to it gpu and super amoled.
I think ROM devs might be able to port it over, but we might have to wait for HTC to release a phone similar enough to ours first. That's what happened on my old G1, at least.

That doesn't make it an impossible task, there's always decompilers, computer science forensics, and educated guess-work that could probably accomplish the job. Whether or not anyone would be willing to take the time to do it is another question.
Of course someone who can code could just start from scratch to build something that gives the same front end results as sense whether or not the back end is actually sense probably wouldn't matter to the end user.
I've tried most of the roms on here and most of the ones I've tried the keyboards that come with them suck. Now I'm not a developer and this is not to blame any rom developers. I just don't understand why the only good keyboard that was ever made for android is the Gingerbread keyboard. Swype sucks in my opinion and so does the samsung and android keyboards. The only keyboard that I like for android is the gingerbread one. I just wish that more roms would come with that keyboard instead of me having to flash it. Anyway rant over. All keyboards suck except for the gingerbread one.
People have differing opinions, I will only use swype as it's the only one I can do without even looking at my phone AND I hate to peck... perhaps my southern accent messes with voice to text b/c that is not 100% for me either.
Have you tried the flexT9? Pretty amazing and was free recently on Amazon.
Also, I made a thread a long time ago on tweaks you could do to swype to make it a lot more accurate... and the beta is a LOT better than the one that came with the phone. Sounds like you have no interest in it though.

Exactly. I've had it ever since I've had my Vibrant and never had to "flash it" when flashing any custom rom. Titanium always handle it for me.

I would highly recommend "Perfect keyboard" to you, on the market. its based off the gingerbread keyboard, with added features, functions, and customization options.....i use swype, but perfect keyboard is the only keyboard i will use that doesnt have trace input.
PS - you cant blame the developers for the keyboards that are available to choose from. most of the good keyboards on the market are paid, and therefore would be considered warez if they were injected into ROMs. they can only choose from free/stock keyboards.
you certainly cant just expect them to develop a keyboard app from scratch, because that very well may be beyond the skill level of some/most/all of our ROM developers. Unless a ROM is being cooked from scratch (coded from the ground up), which none of our Vibrant ROMs are, they're all based off Samsung code; it would be much more difficult to build a keyboard app than compile a ROM. Hence it would be an unfair expectation for our devs.
PPS - trolls, dont misinterpret what i just said. i am fully aware that most of these developers have more skill then me....all im saying is that everyone's skill is limited, and we should be respectfully wary of unfair expectations.

No offense man but can you read ? I didn't say anything negative about any developers. So don't tell me that I can't blame the developers when I didn't blame them. You need to read the whole post and not just the first sentence when you're responding to something. Otherwise people might get upset like I am now. I also don't expect anything from the devs, they build roms for us and I greatly appreciate it. I've hit the thanks button on every rom I've downloaded. Seriously why did you even reply to this ? It was a rant on keyboards. I didn't want to have a discussion about it nor did I want some moron coming in here saying I said **** I didn't say.

Did you try perfect keyboard yet?
Sent from my pocket rocket!!
Will be trying out, Perfect Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard. I have been looking for good keyboards, swype is cool but just not for me, gb is ok. Samsungs sucks. swift key is ok. Flex t9 is actually pretty nice.
But thanks for the hints on Perfect and Smart always nice to have more options.
I have tried almost all of them and i find swiftkey to be the fastest and most accurate. After a while i hardly have to type much as it recognizes most words/sentences.
Gingerbread Keyboard, dude.
OR
If you dare, True Dvorak.
I'm trying to get used to that one because I will be turning my laptop's keyboard, too.

Smart Keyboard Pro supports dvorak.
I use Swiftkey though, don't think any other keyboard comes close in ways of prediction.

agree, I tired 8pen which was an interesting keyboard but not for me. Too much of a learning curve, although once you got used to it it would probably be superfast.
I used to love swype and told many of my friends about it, but I HATED how it registers every single damn word that you type in, even if you misspelled it...
Anyone else a swype fan out there?
New 3.0 beta is up!
Un-install 'swype' app, update swype installer, install 3.0! Enjoy the new feature-y goodness!
Plays much better with the new gingerbread text input with horizontal word choice window!
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod.

You mean a new update to the 3.0 Beta? Or are you just late to the party because this has been out for a bit now.
It's so much better!!! My only complaint is I wish it looked like the gingerbread keyboard. The GB keys are sexy.
How does it compare to FlexT9? Longtime Swype user, finally bought Flex a month ago after getting sick of the popup word choice window in Swype. Flex is nice but I miss the little shortcuts in Swype (like slide from , to space to insert ", ") etc.

Something like Boxee, Apple tv, Google tv, Xbmc is.. those are front end.. Now i wanna know is it something that as to be build within a ROM or could it be something like a Theme zip file?
ok..
of course it's possible. our phone comes with a custom "front end" installed, touchiz. just like sense and motoblur, these are all custom "front ends".
but our phone in it's current state? probably not. because you'll be building a "front end" on top of a "front end". you would probably need AOSP to be fully functional before you attempted to make a new UI for the phone
What you want is a launcher replacement. Search for Launcher Pro, ADW.Launcher, or one of many others on the Market. When you install this app and press the home button, Android will ask you which one you want to use.
As far as something comparable to Boxee/XBMC, that doesn't seem like a very good fit for Android. But there are a lot of crazy launchers out there that people have made, and they're usually compatible with all phones. Search around on google until you find something you like.
