[Q] [REQUEST] TouchWiz 4.0 for HTC HD2

My friend got the Samsung Galaxy S2, and I got to play with it. I can say that i absolutely LOVE TouchWiz 4.0. So if any of the great devs on XDA are reading this, can you make a TouchWiz 4 port for the HTC HD2? Because i tried touchwiz 3 and it was not as good as 4, by a long shot. And if there isn't a port planned for development, can anyone link me to an APK or launcher?

Surely it will be less buggy than an interface for a far more different phone?

i'm pretty sure someone is able to port

Check out the MIUI ROMs they have some of the TouchWiz incorporated into the ROMs.

TouchWiz 4.0 is already ported to Galaxy Tab:

Can someone try to port it for HD2?

Might I ask what about touchwiz you like? If it's in functionality, then sense, or any other rom as a matter of fact, offers the same.

I like how it looks like (almost like MIUI) and TW 4.0 has useful gesture support.
Sense 3.0 has only nice lockscreen, nothing else has changed since times of Desire.
And I really want to try that, cause SGS2 is to expensive for me...

I think the gesture controls need a gyroscrope also to work since they don't work with my cappy running tw4. Which the hd2 doesn't have or any other phone other than the age 2.

Note on MIUI?

Given the similitudes with the youngest brother S2, it would be reasonable to expect a first version soon? No one thought to start the porting?

I also want to know when can we see MIUI for the note. I am not so fond of the TouchWiz in the Note. I have been using MIUI in all my Android phones because they are optimized, beautiful and functional. MIUI would be equally beautiful in the Note...

This is the 3rd thread asking the same question.

NO CM = NO MIUI.
You need to wait for a CyanogenMod Rom (stable) to be out before anyone starts developing a MIUI ROM for the Note.
On another note (pun intended), CM or MIUI have never had the function for a stylus (N-digitizer) and its possible that it may never come. If you like MIUI that much, just wait for a custom rom built on-top of the stock rom, then install the MIUI Launcher.

Galaxy S plus Custom Rom look and feel ?

Hi
i have rooted my girlfriends new galaxy s plus phone, installed FeaMod 1.2 and the latest Gingerbread Stockrom I9001XXKPU. So fine so good. The phone is running well, very good battery live and thanks to feamod the option to make a complete imagebackup of the phone.
the only disadvantage is the android modification from samsung. If I compare the samsung android usability with my htc desire, samsung sucks.
no nice clock and weather widgets for homescreen available like htc
the contact manager is very basic and looks cheap.
no chance to move google contacts to google groups on the phone. you need a computer to do this.
no widget to place contacts with pictures for smart dialing to the screen
lockscreen vertical unlocking is suboptimal
is there a way to modify the galaxy with a custom rom like htc desire with, for example, a Leedroid Rom? which custom roms are recommendable ?
where can I find a contact app like htc contacts ? I wan't nearly the same look and feel on the samsung galaxy like my HTC Desire. Is it possible ?
Regards,
Frank

Hi,
first of all welcome to the SGS+ community, we are pretty alone here .
Sadly there are only a few developer trying to port something for our phone.
We don't have any AOSP rom (no CM, MIUI and so on).
All our custom ROM are stock rom with modifications.
There is currently a CM 7 port in work but it will take a lot of time to finish it.
I would recommend you to have a look at the I9001 (SGS+) Android development forum, there are some sticky threads about modifications.

Question about cyanogenMOD

Hi friends......

Anyone don't know??? Then why everyone's interested in CM???

CyanogenMod (pronounced sigh-AN-oh-jen-mod), is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for several Android devices. Based on the Android Open Source Project, CyanogenMod is designed to increase performance and reliability over Android-based ROMs released by vendors and carriers such as Google, T-Mobile, HTC, etc. CyanogenMod also offers a variety of features & enhancements that are not currently found in these versions of Android.

The "varities of features" are not ordinary ones, and when you use a CM integrated phone, you'll understand better. So, there are many, many benefits. In short, cyanogen mod is like a trip to heaven for our phone.

well it depends in what version of cm but 4 me cm7 is enough... cm7 is
1 android 2.3.7 while our stock and custom rom is 2.3.6
2 it has crt effect when turning off the screen and when you enable rotation on the screen rotates like galaxy s3 or like apples iphone
3. The lockscreen we have ported is just basic compared to lockacreen of cm7, it has more features and more customizablility
4 custom themes are readily available, even OTA i thinkcant exactly remember
5 theres a lot of stuff you can tweak in the system without ever needing 3rd party apps like setcpu, nofrills and the like
These are just the top 5 things i want from cm7
And i know all this cause i used cm7 galaxy S for a day

dude,
there is no need to explain,
borrow someone else's phone with CM7,
and you'll see the beauty of CM and what we're missing out

Well Thanks ... now waiting for CM..... anyone know about the progress of cm for our phone?

CM is good
As compared to other custom Roms CM is best you can also compare it with any of the custom roms and ICS or Jelly bean mostly not possible to port in low end devices but the CM is platform that provides these versions of ported roms to low end devices.
Press thanks If I am right

But the sad truth is our device isnt really that low end we just cant make use of the full potential of our hardware due to lack of source code to make full use of the phones hardware capabilities

Is there any AOSP ROM for the n95005? and why not?

Just wondering is there any fully stock/vanilla roms for the note 3?
I've seen people on this forum in the past on custom ROM threads saying they hate Samsung and devs wont supply vanilla roms, I don't understand why? is it because of the bootloader or something?
I would love to use my Note 3 on a purely stock rom, something like the google play edition S4.
Any help greatly apprectiated, thanks

Bizzare isn't it?? espcially on XDA I would have expected more Note 3 users and devs to want a fully stock experience, given the hardcore specs on the phone im sure with a particular kernel the stock/vanilla experience would give some great battery life too.
I use NOVA with Xposed for a tweaked custom feel, but its on top of touchwiz. I'd like the google play edition feel.

You could try kitkat launcher

Thanks, yeah I've used it before but effectively its the same as running a launcher on top of touchwiz (also kitkat launcher has far less feautures compared to Nova)
C'mon devs surely someone would love a stock android experience on a beast like the Note 3?!
