Hi dear Galaxy S II community,
I just opened a thread in the android development section asking why a WP7 lockscreen port is so unthinkable for android. Anyways, some users were refering to the SGS2 lockscreen and we found it pretty similar...do you guys think it's possible to get a port of it for us (any other android phone)?
I'm using a Milestone 2 and think the resolution is 480 by 854...does that matter? What's the SGS2 resolution?
Hoping for any suggestions or tips...
Kon
480x800 screen, and it depends on samsung frameworks.
Can't your devs try to port it? No idea how you deal with dependency on touchwiz though
For what its worth, I've got a WP7 phone here and the lockscreen is much better than the SGS2. Maybe speak to the widgetlocker dev and as him to add WP7 style.
I think it would be much easier to create a similar one from scratch ...
Why would someone want our crappy SG2 lockscreen?
I have actually paid for widgetlocker to get rid of it... lol

Hi
I know its HTC dedicated forum, but since there is lots of hi skilled chefs I would like to ask a question. Will it be hard to port HTC Sense from Android to Meamo?
N900 seems to be a very nice piece of hardware but Maemo lacks the polishness of HTS Sence ....

I doubt it'll happen. It hasn't even been ported to the Touch Pro 2 nevermind Maemo phones.
lacks the polish? how so? Meamo might just be the strongest standalone OS on a phone. Its almost a down grade to go to android, give it some time, that maemo community is almost as stong as the XDA community.
Well
I do not want to say bad world on maemo. Just i am missing a few things ...
like
Vertical menu
Dialer which looks directly into phone book - like on WinMo device
Nice clock app
Maybe this all will come with updates. And also - I do not talk about moving to Android - I am talking about portin Sense app to maemo. Secne is just the app like TouchFlo ...

sorry I must i just misunderstood, I thought u said u wanted HTC sense from andriod ported to maemo (edit, it is what u asked). What you're really asking for you would more likely find over in the Maemo.org forum. I would figure it being pretty tough being as though the n900 has no softkeys or hardkeys other than the keyboard. The only reason I didn't opt for a n900 was because of the landscape orientation of the phone, otherwise it was everything i've ever wanted in a phone. I wish windows could multitask so efficiently. Hope u find what u want heres a good place to start
N900 running android(Dual-Boot)
It's somewhat old news, but it appears that someone managed to get android running on the N900.

Today the grid 10 was annunced with a new android based os, will it be possible for it to be ported?
Possible? Absolutely. Likely to happen? Depends on the devs.
Yesterday i was searching by xda search engine and it didn't show your question so sorry for my dubble question about grid os...it is something special that grid os, i wanted to buy a grid10 when for sale here in the netherlands but the 512mb ram memory and weak camera stopped me but that software is really something special, i also got an samsung galaxy s2, i hope it runs on that to greetz mike
[anyDEV] can anyone develop the sense ui for this device ?
I think you could find a sense launcher and sense clock somewhere in these forums or in google play try search google by term sense launcher.apk and sense clock.apk

Unlikely because Sense is HTC proprietary and requires a special kernel, frame work , and libraries.
Also , questions go in the Q&A section and put more information in the title so people know what you are posting about.

Sorry abt not posting this in the right section....but bro i do believe that someone out there is working on or trying to port it to the device
There have been countless attempts to port Sense, TouchWiz, and Blur to devices that don't ship with said interfaces. I have never seen a fully working ROM ever ported. They get to a certain point in functionality, then progress stops as the only way to fix the remaining issues is to get new binaries compiled which only HTC/Samsung/Moto have the ability to do. Feel free to try it yourself, but I doubt anyone is going to accomplish this. Also, why would you want Sense? It is probably the most bloated of all the OEM Skins out there.

Bloated?, yeah, but I think sense has a better personality.....

Install a rom that has a theme chooser, download sense aokp/cm theme from market, HTC icons, APW widgets and Nova launcher. That will get you pretty close.
*edit, nevermind. Sense theme chooser theme doesn't work, at least with the cm10 with tablet mod I am using.

Hi everybody,
one week ago I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4.
It is a great mobil phone, but I really miss HTC Sense from my HTC One X+
So my question is:
Is there anywhere a "rom" or an other possibility to get HTC Sense on the S4??
Thx for your help.

Some people might be able to port it but they won't, infact lets say the most easy port will be for the I9505 only since the Exynos octa is too complicated and needs different librarys and files.... and another thing is that eventually when it ports your GS4 features won't work anymore since the Sense wizard doesnt support them which makes the GS4 useless it used to matter on old Cells when the hardware and software were almost identical and only the appearance changes but nowadays its a badass mutation that these pieces of Tech are going through
maybe someone will give you a launcher but not the whole Sense Wiz

You'll never have sense 4/5 on Samsung device many reasons for that lemme give you a few.
1. It would take forever to try and port it ( while the port would have sh1t load of buggs )
2. Pretty much requires the whole system cuz of framework.
3. Different drivers ( tho would be easier to port it on snapdragon s4)
4. HTC is never gonna give their codes since then everyone would have blink feed, HTC gallery etc, Zoe, you name it. Same with Samsung, everyone would have multiwindow etc what doesn't require hardware.
The only way you can have some type of sense would be getting launcher and downing icon packs.
Best would be flashing cm /aokp / aosp.
Getting icon pack for the launcher and downloading sense theme for cm
As for widgets there are bunch of them on the market or you could download uccw and make yourself some.
Anyway whatever you do it'll never be good as original. You'll always miss key features.

Edit:
On the other hand if you don't like the touch wiz you can pretty much have full Xperia system
Widgets, walkman, bravia, gallery, etc, you name it. Just look at xda or use search button.
Firstly, forgive me if this is has being asked already.
I know most people hate the new magazine UX, but I like it. Is there any way of porting it to the note 3 or is there a launcher very similar?
Ive tried chameleon launcher but it doesn't quite cut it. Thanks for reading this. :laugh:
I guess it's impossible then.
I want the new Magazine UX !!
So I guess this is impossible then?
Hope you get an answer soon lol I want to know too
Until it's officially released the devs probably aren't going to do too much with it... If it's not available, how can it be ported....
