MiUi is mimics iOS5.x almost in every fashion. If you were to lay a iOS theme on it, and did a screen shot no one would know the difference.

Resolution
MiUi sounds like a great mimic, and I'm going to give it a try. But is there any way to make it the primary operating system of a phone like the Droid X? What is the fundamental difference between the phones that is preventing migration?

Try iLauncher by SUCKGAMONI on the Google Playstore. If you want the MIUI launcher here it is:View attachment MIUI_Launcher_3.1.apk
(This is not my work)

who would want a crappy, simple/basic, "advertised-to-retards" kinda product like that. apple sucks.. ill stick to android

I am only asking out of curiosity and not out of a desire. I know that ios is not open source so making an ios rom is not realistic, but if super hacker really wanted to, could he or she make it work some how? Or what about a program which could sniff out the source code for closed source platforms?
I am very happy with Android no desire for iPhone(unless free) just asking

i dont think it would be too hard to port for a pro, the problem would be with drivers. how will iOS know what to do with your htc/samsung/etc hardware?

Theoretically, given unlimited amount of time and unlimited determination, one could make such a port work, at least partially.
Practically, given different HW of those phones, the amount of time and determination required to port anything newer than iOS3 are close to insane - unrealistic enough for anybody to want to do it.

If one were to say make a port of ios, would it be illegal to release it being that ios is closed source or would this fall under fair use? More than likely Apple would sue who ever released it lol

Sense 3.0

Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?
Oh... boy... here we go.. i admire you for having the balls to ask about Sense UI in Samsung thread. Hehe. Short answer is NO!!!

You never know.. The original SGS has turned out a terrific developers phone so if the SGS2 has unlocked bootloaders i cant see why not
If htc sense is that important though just wait from the sensation

If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

I see you have a Motorola Atrix 4G. What do you think about it? I'm in doubt between Atrix, S II and Sensation.
Thank you!
Ugh, how can people even like Sense. It is the worst android UI out of all the custom ones out there.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.
Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Couldn't have put it better, dude. trouble is, can we have the best of both worlds?
Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk
I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)

Actually, its in the process of being done on the EVO, Its not final if it will work or start, but it was able to boot. Maybe at the End of the Summer, it may be available for the Evo, and it might get ported to the epic, but the chances are highly unlikely.

One of my favorite features of the HTC phones was the ability to dual-boot android or WinMO. The Touch Pro was awesome with this. Unfortunately HTC doesn't want to make a decent phone with a keyboard anymore, and nobody else likes WinMO.
Launcher 7 is about as close as we'll come... I'm happy enough with it

Did you do a search before posting this? A thread about this has already been made here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107647.
Yeah! Did you even try to search for the news that you had no idea existed before today?!?!?!!? GRRR it makes me soo mad that people aren't psychic and don't search for news that hasn't happened yet!
(that was sarcasm)
Thanks mtnlion, it's news to me. It's pretty cool that HTC has been becoming a lot more friendly with the modding community as of late. I wonder if this will trickle down to our little Aria community.
Just did twice from the app.didn't get the thread you linked.its been my experience that searching from the app doesn't always yield the results you think it would. So if someone is just following the aria forum they see this thread then know what to look for.

Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what this announcement actually means. HTC is allowing application developers to create applications that can utilize the features of Sense directly. They are NOT making Sense open source nor are they allowing Sense to be added arbitrarily to any phone or ROM. Non-Sense ROMs don't benefit in any way from this.

Open Source Sense 3.x Can we now port it to Epic 4g?

Now that HTC has open sourced the Sense 3.x can we now please port it over so that it works correctly. I think this will really help once Google makes sense the standard interface. And yes i own an epic 4g, but find that sense 3.x blows away tw 3.x

I really don't think people understand what they read when it comes to words like "open" and "SDK".
HTC did not give out the source code for HTC Sense 3.x. All they did was create an SDK so that developers could call Sense API's and integrate their programs further into the HTC Sense framework. I am no developer, but I hardly see how that makes it a lot easier to port sense over to our phones.
I guess the Search is broken again... /s

i though as part of GB builds that the file system must be ext4. so how would samsung be able with GB to use RFS which is Really Fuc.ed System? Ext 4 is so much faster wvwn with journaling on.

well, free because we've moved on and its just sitting there collecting dust. Honestly though, I don't care to run ics on it either, the new features aren't of any use to the g1, so it really would just be for the theming which they could do.
rather than ICS I'd like to see other uses for these phones... I was using mine as a little boxee remote for a while... But I'd like to see more single use roms that are streamlined for some single purposes (like media pc remotes, c64 or ibm pc emulators (on bootup), carpc (probably too small for that), whatever...)
I was porting ICS to HD2, but there is something weird going on with surface flinger libs & binaries and dalvik-vm.. You can't de-odex the files with baksmali..
