Xperia Rom? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any chance of a full Xperia Rom? I know there's one that uses the launcher but was wondering if there could be a chance of a full rom with all the apps.

No, you can only use the apps like launcher from it. It would be very hard to port from a sony device since the drivers are different. But there's most likely very little interest in that...This phone will have ports from HTC devices mostly, miui, and there's a nice droid/blur port by raffy floating around. Besides that we have no LG, no Huawei, no Sammy, no Sony, no IOS ports, no WebOS ports for any HTC based devices, why you ask? Since most things wont even work and the interest isn't there. For the Galaxy S there's a Sense port, but it barely works, lots of work went in to it but it's hard to get the thing functional.

was actually just kinda wondering. I like liquid metal alot. But really want the updated Playstation app.

sense?

Total n00b here, but is sense at all possible on this sammy?
There was a group working to get Sense ported over to the SGS lineup of phones. They got it partially working on the GSM versions from what I know, but the project died because they couldn't get most stuff working, and I think it was abandoned.
Bummer. Thanks though 0_o

There are different home launchers that give you the Sense previews at least? Lol. ADW has it.
The only thing that bothered me about downloading launchers is that i could never exclude them from the running program list on the task manager. Any clue on how to do this?

Isn't it going to be the only option if you want ICS as htc won't be allowed to put their sense overlay on it anyway? At least for a year that is.

HTC wasn't allowed to put Sense on WP7. Still, they have their Market section full with HTC Apps.

Isn't wp7 a whole different scenario though? I mean there aren't any custom UI's from manufacturers. Which is totally different to android at the moment.

Depends on the Point of View. On the matter of UI, is WP7 different to Android (general)? Hell yes it is. WP7 is, like iphone, much more closed (we're talking UI here, not in general).
Now, is WP7 that much different to ICS? Nope... it isn't
Still... as with WP7 (and i've tried it), HTC, Samsung, LG, and many others will provide their palette of software. Exclusive software.
Examples on WP7
HTC:
HTC Hub
Flashlight
Photo Enhancer
HTC Youtube
Notes
Attentive Phone
Locations
Converter
Stock
Connected Media
Lists
Calculator
Dock Mode
Love
Samsung:
Rubik's Cube
Photo Studio
Photogram
MiniDiary
FunShot
AllShare
Network Profile
PhotoSharing
RSS Times
Mobile Print
LGE:
SmartShare
Weather & Clock
Panorama Shot
Tool Box
QR Reader
Voice to Text
Photo Stylist
ScanSearch
PostNote
Not a UI, but still a nice addition to the tiny WP7 Marketplace

Google: Android 4.0 'Holo' theme to be mandatory on all devices with Android Market

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/google-makes-holo-theme-mandatory/
Does that mean no more TouchWiz crap??? If so, this is the best news that came out this year!
Nope.
"Google*is issuing architectural mandates that will make it dead simple for independent developers to create apps that fit nicely into these customized environments, complete with the proper widgets and colors. In other words, app designers may effortlessly choose between Holo or the manufacturer's default theme when considering the software's interface"
It's the apps. If devs want to distribute their software in the Market, they'll have to use the Holo GUI. The upside about this is that the whole Android ecosystem and apps will be more unified like iOS.
An example of this is Opera Mobile. They are using their own menus, so the structure is nothing like any other apps on Android. From now on they'll have to use Holo so the menus will function and look like any other ICS app. This will make it less confusing for the users, and it will look better.

If anything this means ICS will take forever to arrive.

Its actually the other way round, manufacturers won't bother to put their standardisations and that means faster rollout of vanilla ICS with just custom drivers.
Love you Google!

SlideScreen Pro based ROM anyone?

Starting this week, hopefully, I wanna begin work on a 2.3 ROM for X8 featuring the SlideScreen Pro setup, but improving on a couple things, such as:
1) App interface Clean milky-white interface all around, with classic gray and orange colors. GingerBread (etc) options integrated into SlideScreen style
2) Gmail notifications to main screen Revert Gmail notifications from StatusBar onto main screen
3) Revamping looks, feel, and functionality Improving overall menu-ergonomics, giving it a SlideScreen-MIUI feel and look
Anybody wanting and willing to collaborate is more then welcome.
I'll post some preliminary interface pics after Tuesday, March 6th, since I gotta get a separate laptop running Linux, due to daughter needing play games on the PC . Once I do some basic mods to the SlideScreen interface, I'll test it on GB. Once I get the appropriate performance, I'll post Alpha.
like it
i like slidescreen
i like ur idea
may i give u more idea..
can you make it more ICSish..
ill wait..
maybe i can become the first tester..
#ihope

No sorry not making a rom, was interested initially because I was looking for a good modded version of the launcher fully functional with no fc. I use 1.26 now but I want 2.0 full with no fc in Facebook.

HTC sense ROM?

Hey just wondering, when htc release jelly bean for the one x, would it be possible to make a sense 4 custom ROM for the nexus 7 somehow, seeing as they have similar processors, ram and their screen resolution s are not that different?

You want a manufacturer skin over stock?!
Every android device I have ever owned, someone has always wanted a sense ROM. I just don't get it. Sense is a battery and performance nightmare from my experience. Of the two HTC devices that I have owned, the FIRST thing I did on each is install a non-sense ROM.

I hate Sense with a passion, I don't know why you would want it... everyone has different tastes, I guess

I love sense, but it probably isn't possible.

Sense on the Nexus 7 would be awesome. I know it can be a battery/cpu hog or whatever but seriously, I'm pretty sure the Nexus 7 could hardware could handle it. Sense has so many nice features that I miss. The UI is gorgeous (subjective, I know), the included widgets are fantastic especially the clock, and small things like the fact that navigation is linked to calendar events so you can just bring up an event in your calendar and then click on the location and it will take you there.
Edit: nearly forgot to mention the great music player, and the latest keyboard is main thing I miss.
Have no idea if it would be possible, but I would LOVE to see a sense rom for the nexus. What about a ported Flyer rom? I have no idea about development though so forgive me if it would be impossible.
I like sense
But the screen is a different resolution which will make it harder
Also things will look really really big
Best shot at a port will be if HTC release a tablet with sense and the same resolution as ours, along with a tegra
Also the flyer is a lower resolution

The resolution is basically the name as the one x is it not? Also, the hardware is pretty similar, tegra included. I don't think it would be that difficult to get a one x ROM going on the nexus? I wish I could do it myself!

Well sense 4 looks and feels great in my opinion. ( yeah it would be worse probably ) but it is pretty cool!

You can download Sense Themes and launchers and pretty much be set. Their 3rd party apps are buggy at best. My coworker constantly has problems with his HTC dialer and email apps.
Sense pretty much is just a launcher with special Widgets... and a couple of custom apps.

What launcher does the sense 4 effect?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
None can match Sense 3.x or 4 in overall cohesiveness and polish. All the clock widgets that try and copy the sense clock are subpar imitations. You can try to give your phone the sense look but it will never be as nice. I challenge anyone to screenshot their phone/tablet to prove that it can be done!

Hi,
Sorry to revive this post, but I just got my Nexus 7 and the first thing I miss so much is the Sense UI of my HTC One X ...
I buy HTC since the TyTN, and had the Touch HD, HD2, Sensation XE and now One X. Sense came with the Touch HD, and one main reason I keep buying HTC is the Sense layer (over their phone design that I still find better than other brands).
I never had issues so far with Sense since 4 years of using Sense on all these phones ...
I wonder if the Sense launcher can be output of an HTC Rom as an APK to install on other devices ?
While it may be possible to get sense working on a Nexus 7, it would be a ridiculous amount of work. I understand the request though as I used to love Sense. These days it's more like an ex girlfriend. I have fond memories of it but would never consider going back to it.

LOL, I love your comparison with "ex-girlfriend"
Anyway, I'll try to live differently with the Nexus 7 ... Hope I'll find a nive widget for time/date/weather ...
