Xperia Rom?

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.

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!

Camara from htc evo 3D?

Hi all, any one know how I can install the htc 3d app on a stock-rooted htc evo 4g? Or any app that has the 360° effect?

hahahahaha..this is funny!

360 degree? Are you talking of panorama? My EVO 4g does panorama. My 3devo doesn't. At least not now with ICS installed.

Im assuming your talking about the carousel effect, in order to have that you need flash a sense 3.0 or a sense 3.5 Rom

Don't think it can be done
It seems the only way to get something specifically ripped from a newer device is to use a full ROM built from that device's software. Individual pieces, such as camera or visual features, are difficult (if not impossible) to rip by themselves, since the details are unique to each piece of hardware, even within a specific manufacturer. If it was that simple, I'm sure we'd have a front-facing camera on the ICS ROMs by now
Seriously though, I'm certain it can't be done, at least, not easily.

I'm using Sense 2.1 on my Evo 4g. It has the 360 Panorama effect. It's either the Synergy_signed_070411_161953.zip or Senergy-R2-supersonic.zip. I can't remember which. But it has the "360 deg" mode.
The Sense "carousel" isn't a camera effect.

I think he may have misunderstood what TC was talking about. When he mentioned "any app with a 360° effect", it seemed like he was talking about the "carousel" (360, carousel...you know?) effect on the homescreen.
But I'm certain, as you are, that he meant Panorama. Sense 2.1 incorporated Panorama into its camera app framework, and most ROMs based off of 2.1 and above have it, including the ICS ROMs since that's a standard feature of the default ICS camera.

Anyone have the apk for the 360 camera; I have the panarama apk already installed?

ARHD 5.x.x Sense 3 files?

I wanted to see if I could get the ideal combination of Sense 2 and 3 by having Sense 3 apps but Sense 2.1 launcher, so I'm trying to get a lower auto brightness mod with Sense 3 lockscreen and weather, the Revolution HD theme, and possibly with a mod to disable scroll cache.
Does anyone know whether I should be using the classic or sense 3 version, and does anyone know where the sense 3 mods for ARHD 5.x.x are?

as far as I know you can't have them both due to differences in the frameworks

You'd be wrong, because I was definitely able to get GB 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1's launcher and the Sense 3 camera, keyboard, lockscreen, weather, and task manager. I have a feeling that with that combo and disabling Dalvik scroll cache would produce the smoothest Sense ROM for our phones.
If HTC released ICS for our phones with all the current Sense 3.6 features but with all 3D effects removed, I would definitely give that a shot too. Even though Sense 3 with ultra smooth rosie is fantastic, it still takes up too much RAM and there are still the 3D carousel effects.

Yeah, I wasn't too sure if you could use older frameworks with newer versions of sense. Cleared that up for me, thanks
It'd be nice to see HTC release pics with something like sense 3.6 (sense 4 would be amazing imo)
My GF's desire c (with a slower processor and tiny screen) gets ICS and sense 4 yet we don't?!

It's not really Sense 4, it's the 2D cut down version that resembles Sense 2.1 in function.

Oh, now I get you yeah should be possible as long as there isn't to much messing with the compatibility

Still trying to find the files, the last time anyone worked on the base 2.5 ROM was basically a year ago....

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 ...
