Why hasnt Touch been ported to Nexus S yet? - Nexus S General

You look at HTC forums and you see Sense 3 ROMS for the Desire or Desire Z or pretty much any HTC phone. Similarly when Sense 2.1 was new it was already ported onto the Desire. So why hasnt the UI of Galaxy S2 or S1 been ported to Nexus S? I'm not talking about just theming, but a proper port of Touch Wiz

Because TouchWiz is closed-source and no developer wants to put their time and effort into porting TouchWiz? It's very difficult to port a framework all from scratch.
The best thing you could do to come close to TouchWiz is to use the TouchWiz launcher which may be found in the Themes section of NS.

isnt HTC sense also close sourced? Atleast it was in the Desire HD era

yes I can imagine it would be difficult. But I also think there's something more to it. Sense UI 3.0 was ported to Desire even before the first Sense 3 phone was officially out. So either its really easy to port Sense UI or overly difficult to port touch wiz. But its just strange no one has given it a go. Heck there's a Sense 3 ROM for Nexus S

This is not the Desire, Desire Z or whatever phone you think it is.
The Sense 3.0 ROM is not a fully functional ROM. A lot of functionality is incomplete and it is not a "daily driver" ROM whatsoever. A lot of custom kernels also don't support the ROM.
Also, the ROM hasn't been updated for a long time now. It has been on a long hiatus since to the IMEI renaming problem that has caused bricks on people's phones. Not wanting to reproduce the talk about that but that's what happened.
The Nexus S is a pure Google device. If TouchWiz was going to be the deal breaker, you should of gone with Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S series.
Talking is easy. Doing it on the other hand is another problem.

Andriod 2.2 (Froyo) For Aria???

Does anyone has a clue about when Froyo will be available for Aria?

I am hoping we'll be able to port the Legend Rom with a great deal of success once it is available. I will be looking into an unbranded 2.1 Legend ROM port for the Aria next.
eh it was just released... wouldn't expect to hear about a 2.2 release for at least a few months probably more.
Froyo hasn't even been officially released yet. after that, HTC will need to port SenseUi for it. HTC did say all 2.1 devices released this year should expect a 2.2 update.
Probably not until AT&T figures out how to remove tethering from it.

As saint168 said, I wouldn't hold your breath. What will happen is HTC will say "we expect a Froyo update for the Aria by Christmas!" and then the day before Christmas they will say "We expect a Froyo update for the Aria by the end of February!" and then we won't see an update except in Taiwan in June.
I am going by the official Eclair update for the GSM Hero of course.
attn1 brought up a factor, as most likely we will be seeing mostly stable 2.2 Roms within the next six months or so for the Aria that will probably make the frustrations of any promised official update increase.

Or perhaps not remove it outright, but to figure out how to make it billable to the tune of extra $20 per month on top of "DataPro" data plan, as they've done it with iPhone 4/iOS4.

cyanogen has said he's porting to the MT3GS, which is nearly identical to the Aria. That WILL be ported to the Aria.
AOSP Froyo 2.2 - cyanogen style. Everyone and their all their brothers will be taking a crack at that port - including me.

Will this be a dump of the official update for the MT3GS or is there a port that's being used. Also, if this is a pre-existing port then what kind of features should we expect to not work by the time it hits Aria (like camera, 3D acceleration, gps, and sound)?
By the way ... my Aria is now in my state so hopefully will be playing with it in an hour or two.

The MT3GS and Aria are very closely related. HTC does not do AOSP roms - they add their proprietary HTC sense stuff. If you want that, it will take some time for HTC to release a stable version for either the MT3GS or the Aria.
AOSP means Android Open Source Project based - and that means no HTC Sense UI. The Nexus One runs pure AOSP, which personally, I prefer. cyanogenmods are all AOSP based, but are generally better in terms of features and performance.
cyanogenmod 6.x will be based on Android 2.2 AOSP code, and is being built and in limited testing now. It will be released for a half dozen phones almost simultaneously - and soon. Once something is working for the MT3GS, it will be a very short time before it is ported to the Aria.

Man this is like night and day coming from the Xandroid community (new android features seem to take months to develop).
I too prefer AOSP which I used on the Xandroid builds (tested on my Pure) and I had Launcher Pro installed which I think is LEAGUES better than Sense.
I'm extremely excited to learn more about flashing android roms. Don't know anything about it yet but I saw Aria's already been rooted.
I do appreciate the WVGA of the Pure but this Aria really isn't THAT different in quality (seems more colorful though). Gotta get a screen protector from AT&T ... will have to wade through crowds of iPhone sheep no doubt.

When you say ported, does that mean I can rewrite my phone replacing Sense? Because I don't just want to have Froyo AND Sense and just have sense disabled and hiding in the background.

I think you're confusing Android 2.2 (FroYo) with HTC's user interface (Sense).
cyanogenmod is based on pure AOSP code - no Sense UI.
I just completed a port of a MyTouch3G rom to the Aria. Wifi doesn't work, and my touch keys don't work. I am sure those are simple fixes. Eugene probably has answers to some of those issues, but it stands to reason that when CM 6 is released for the MTS3G, we can begin work on a port for the Liberty (Aria).
Froyo runs... it's just a matter of someone who knows what they're doing fixing all of the drivers and a few other things.

CM6 is coming soon I think!
"release later this weekend" ... running out of time but this is exciting.

[Q] gingerbread?

has anyone heard any more speculation on what phones are gonna get gingerbread?
gingerbread is being skipped and is going to be 2.4 instead of 2.3. Still named gingerbread though. This is what I heard a few weeks back. It makes sense because the Nexus S is full of problems and it's mostly on the software side. Gingerbread is nothing but a themed froyo.
There are a lot less core differences between 2.2 and 2.3 than there were between 2.1 and 2.2. I would think the manufacturers would have an easier time upgrading them and the crapware on it.

Incorrect. There are other phones getting Android 2.3 besides the Nexus S; the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is, for example. Gingerbread has made quite a few changes to the underlying code & add many nice APIs for app developers to it.

True, but, don't know if you noticed that the Nexus One has yet to get an OTA Gingerbread OTA. There's a reason for that. The random rebooting issue could be to blame - but Google for Froyo (such a huge, huge change from 2.1 Eclair) pushed it out to Nexus One users like 2 weeks after announcing it. Huge. Quick.
Gingerbread will probably not come to existing devices. 2.4 (whether it is Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread - who knows/cares) will probably be pushed out first. Don't expect any incremental updates to any existing device yet.
The reason the Xperia Play has 2.3 is because it's out in the AOSP and Sony Ericsson is just choosing to deploy the 2.3 code instead of 2.2. They have the right timeframe and want their device to appeal to the hardcore geeks.
Anyhow, no Gingerbread - especially not for the EVO 4G Shift anytime soon.
I'm hoping for updates to the Shift, i just got it, but i hate knowing there is a newer version somewhere lol
I hate knowing that I got gingerbread working on a 4 year old Windows Mobile phone (HTC Touch/Vogue) and yet it's not officially available for the Evo Shift. I may go AOSP in the future.

AOSP is default open source Android. Every manufacturer puts on their own overlay for HTC it is Sense and Motorola is Moto Blur. When you put an AOSP ROM on your phone it will be default android which is normally more efficient and more bare bones. For instance when you might not have all the functionality that you had with your stock setup. Personally I like how in Sense when I have my Google contacts set up in groups Sense se that and carries those groups over to my phone. When I put the evervolve or CM7 on my phone to test it out I lost that.
I don't know all the things that are different with an AOSP ROM but here are the things I have seen:
Contacts
Messaging app
Home Screen
Now I know there are more programs that are operate in the background that are included (just run titanium backup and look at all the ones that start with HTC) but I don't know what they do for the most part.
Also AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project.
I think I'll wait for a stable sense ROM to try gingerbread. I'm pretty sure I tried a bare bones ROM when I rooted my cliq and didn't like it. Definitely like having everything sync'd like contacts and such. Has anyone come up with something spectacular for a modded or themed stock ROM? Guess I could just go look...
Thanks everyone for the help. Really appreciate it.

Come On HTC where's my Sense 3.0

HTC have proven that they will listen to the community by announcing future unlocked bootloaders.
Having just had a play with a Sensation I do like the look and operation of Sense 3.0. I know there are custom Roms ported from 3.0 but what I really want is an official upgrade. My DesireHD is plenty fast enough at the moment so I don't want to shell out big money for a dual core handset just to get Sense 3.0.
So perhaps HTC could prove they love us for more than 6 months (normal product cycle) by producing a Sense 3.0 for their handsets that are up to it AND unlock the bootloader at the same time. If enough people think so maybe just maybe we will be heard.
They already stated that they wouldn't be providing any sense 2.1 handsets with a sense 3.0 upgrade.

Apparently its down to performance issues. I'm nit finding a huge difference between the two myself in terms of non bling features.

They also locked the bootloaders. And said no GB for the Desire. If enough customers want it and make it known, then maybe they could spare someone to produce a port of 3.0 for the lower res screens.
My OTA update to 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 went without a hitch (so far so good).
I had fun trying all sorts of ROMs on my Hero (and still do) but the DesireHD is 'mission critical' and I need it to all work all the time. I am in awe of the skills of the ROM cooks but sometimes the product still comes out half baked.
HTC will *NOT* sacrifice user experience for new features (if any). Don't forget that Sense 3.0 came with the dual core Sensation. Yes, it can be made to work good-ish but you'll never see HTC overclocking their phones. Unlocking the bootloader does no damage to HTC (especially if it voids the warranty) so they did it. This has nothing to do with Sense 3.0 - we are more likely in the position of the Desire users: GB can run on their phones but it doesn't meet the performance standards of HTC. So no official GB for them... and no Sense 3.0 for us...

Half baked you said.There are more than 8 stable, more faster and smoother roms for DHD here including 2 powerful roms with full sense 3.0 support. Check the threads, hardly a discussion about a bug anymore just themes, rosie and what not.
Believe me they are far more superior to what Htc had to offer.

Guys both virtuous unity and rcmix are fantastic 3.0 ports!! Try them..out devs are more talented than HTCs I have to say who thought it wasnt possible officially!
no chance
nochance of that happening as the first poster said, im currently using RcMix3D 1.9 which the dark v3 patch which is sense 3.0 and its wikked i love it, ive tried all the roms on here and this is the best
recently i bought dhd unfortunately by mistake up dated the machine, now i can not go for sense 3.0. a,m about to got rid of the machine if will remain on sense 2
any help from XDA .
I think its HTC marketing strategy. They may think that now one would buy the Sensation or Evo 3d if some of the older Phones had 3.0.
But if you watch the videos how poorly Sense 3.0 runs on the Sensation maybe their honest with the performance and they can´t make a smooth runnig Sense 3.0 update for the DHD.
Don´t know wich is worse but you´ll have to flash a custom rom if you want Sense 3.0.

True. Everyone has his own feel over how thinks should work. I had the chance to buy a brand new Sensation, so I decided to compare it with my DHD running LeeDroid with Sense 3.0 port. Can You guess which one is laggier and slower? Surprise, surprise it's the Sensation. Even though the CPU is 0,2 GHz faster and a dual core, it seems as if the two cores are not syncronised and do not use the RAM in the best possible way. Sure for multithreaded apps the Sensation is faster, but how many of those are out there? And the heat. They say DHD has a overheating problem... Try using a Sensation or a SGS II for more than 30 minutes. They'll burn your hand I bet the next HTC will be 1,5 GHz and will be called the Untouchable (LMAO)

Hopefully if we don't get an official one, someone will port the Runnymead ICS. I've tried Quattro but to be honest, I quite like sense...
The post on the front page of XDA states Desire Z is on the "expected but not officially announced"
There's also the Andromadus dev team, building what might be the start of CM9 for the Desire Z/G2.
I'm running their Alpha 11 and it's been stable and well-behaved so far.
Its capable of running it that's for sure. But I highly doubt it will be pushed to our devices. It would be nice as it would near complete the custom roms problems they are having. Since HTC doesn't want to give up things like the camera to help move it along.

90% of us don't want the update for a modded rom lol! We just want it to rip out the drivers so that stuff like CM9 will actually work properly. It looks like one our cousin phones (Desire HD & S) will be getting the update so we should be okay eventually as far as proper drivers go.

HTC One V Port For Our Device?

Does anyone think that we can get HTC one V port? Coz the spec almost similar to our device, hopefully we can get ICS with sense 4.0 rom soon.
So impatient... The device hasn't even hit the market yet.
And considering how active the g2/dz dev community is, I wouldn't be surprised to see it not too long after the rom gets released.
Don't upset the dev's!
I've tried different 4.0 ROM's and while they are awesome, they are not even what I would considered "fit" for everyday use. 4.0 itself is still new, I think we're lucky to just have that so far. But as far as Sense on top of ICS? I think it's a stretch, for the time being. I would rather see just effort going towards perfecting the stock 4.0 for G2/Desire Z, rather then have the dev's effort split and trying to do that as well. I'm not a developer myself, it doesn't sound like you are either but if you want that port any time soon, might as well get working on it
It would be very interesting to know what CPU is in the One V. Let's hope it uses the same as the Desire HD, then it should be straightforward to port.
Having said that, the Desire S and DHD will be getting official ICS ports anyway, so it's a matter of "when" rather than "if" for us.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to this web site:
http://www.geeksailor.com/htc-one-x-htc-one-v-htc-one-s/
The HTC one V have a snapdragon S2 chipset.
Which led me to this table:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
With 1 GHz, there is only one chipset, the MSM8255.
The same as the Desire HD!!!
Also, I've just done another search with Google and I got this page:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3382&c=htc_one_v
Look for the processor: the MSM8255!!!
So maybe the port will be a lot more easier than before.
Edit: It looks smooth:

I am more concerned about the 512 RAM in HTC One V making it more similar to the DZ. (I though it is dual-core, but no)
If the V handles ICS WITH(!) Sense our DZ's would easily handle stock ICS (as talked about in other threads) in my opinion.
We'll be one of the first to know about it... HERE...
Can't wait to see that happen...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
As far as i know, which could be all wrong, the V comes with ICS, but with Sense 3.6 (kind of a light version of Sense 4) which is why it can handle both. Personally, i think the sense version it carries must be less resource consuming that 3.5 and 3.0 which would be reason for it being able to run with ICS
But in any case, im eager to see this ported!!
Unbelievable how HTC cheapened this out big time. Even Samsung's budget phones at MWC use S3 variants! But hey why complain if this would feed code to our G2's no?

According to http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-v/#specs
One V comes with Sense 4. I think that the difference between Sense 4 and Sense 3.6 will be ImageSense. Not some kind of light version.

Would you mind explaining what ImageSense is ? Google shows something about a defunct design company.
Has the RUU been leaked yet? When it has or been officially released I'm gunna try port it

I would rather not have a FULL One V port, and have a One V with rotating rosie and the 3D task manager thingy.

ImageSense is HTC's version of camera software that allows the One Series of phones to take pictures in under a second. It also enables them to take still pictures WHILE recording in 720p. If i remember correctly, both Samsung and Motorola have their respective versions with similar capabilities as well.
EDIT:
Skip to about 1:20 of the video.

One V port
Before One V is released Sense 4.0 will be released for Sensation and other already existing devices. Porting from these will be easier than waiting for one V to release.
Port should work fine. Same RAM etc.

Sensation and Sensation XE is supposed to get ICS with Sense 3.5 (looks like for now) very soon. Not sure if they'll push Sense 4.0 to them yet though (haven't seen anything yet)
Once the RUU comes, the magic will start.
