Hi everybody,
one week ago I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4.
It is a great mobil phone, but I really miss HTC Sense from my HTC One X+
So my question is:
Is there anywhere a "rom" or an other possibility to get HTC Sense on the S4??
Thx for your help.

Some people might be able to port it but they won't, infact lets say the most easy port will be for the I9505 only since the Exynos octa is too complicated and needs different librarys and files.... and another thing is that eventually when it ports your GS4 features won't work anymore since the Sense wizard doesnt support them which makes the GS4 useless it used to matter on old Cells when the hardware and software were almost identical and only the appearance changes but nowadays its a badass mutation that these pieces of Tech are going through
maybe someone will give you a launcher but not the whole Sense Wiz

You'll never have sense 4/5 on Samsung device many reasons for that lemme give you a few.
1. It would take forever to try and port it ( while the port would have sh1t load of buggs )
2. Pretty much requires the whole system cuz of framework.
3. Different drivers ( tho would be easier to port it on snapdragon s4)
4. HTC is never gonna give their codes since then everyone would have blink feed, HTC gallery etc, Zoe, you name it. Same with Samsung, everyone would have multiwindow etc what doesn't require hardware.
The only way you can have some type of sense would be getting launcher and downing icon packs.
Best would be flashing cm /aokp / aosp.
Getting icon pack for the launcher and downloading sense theme for cm
As for widgets there are bunch of them on the market or you could download uccw and make yourself some.
Anyway whatever you do it'll never be good as original. You'll always miss key features.

Edit:
On the other hand if you don't like the touch wiz you can pretty much have full Xperia system
Widgets, walkman, bravia, gallery, etc, you name it. Just look at xda or use search button.

Had use of a Galaxy S for a week while my HD2 was info repair, really like the Samsung customisations, email, messaging, clock, music, all skinned very nicely.
Anyone know any ROMS with this stuff cooked in or perhaps some apps I can install to customise with.
The only thing I know of is the samsung launcher. It's only the launcher so I think its not much.
If I remember correctly, the widgets, apps, etc work only for the galaxy s.
It's inferior to all the options already available. That's probably why it hasn't been done.

inferiority is a matter of personal preference... I for one think that a full Galaxy s port would be neat...
I liked the galaxy s with touch wiz. liked it better then sense
In what way is it inferior?, have you used a Galaxy S more than for a few mins?, after a weeks usage I liked it better than the all of the NAND ginger ports by a long way. I would have kept it but I prefer the versatility of the 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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077641
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.

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.
[anyDEV] can anyone develop the sense ui for this device ?
I think you could find a sense launcher and sense clock somewhere in these forums or in google play try search google by term sense launcher.apk and sense clock.apk

Unlikely because Sense is HTC proprietary and requires a special kernel, frame work , and libraries.
Also , questions go in the Q&A section and put more information in the title so people know what you are posting about.

Sorry abt not posting this in the right section....but bro i do believe that someone out there is working on or trying to port it to the device
There have been countless attempts to port Sense, TouchWiz, and Blur to devices that don't ship with said interfaces. I have never seen a fully working ROM ever ported. They get to a certain point in functionality, then progress stops as the only way to fix the remaining issues is to get new binaries compiled which only HTC/Samsung/Moto have the ability to do. Feel free to try it yourself, but I doubt anyone is going to accomplish this. Also, why would you want Sense? It is probably the most bloated of all the OEM Skins out there.

Bloated?, yeah, but I think sense has a better personality.....

Install a rom that has a theme chooser, download sense aokp/cm theme from market, HTC icons, APW widgets and Nova launcher. That will get you pretty close.
*edit, nevermind. Sense theme chooser theme doesn't work, at least with the cm10 with tablet mod I am using.

Hey guys,
I used to own a HTC One and loved the stock notes app it came with.
Now I own a Note 3 and really miss that app.
I found the apk file and tried to install but it failed. I guess for it to work on this system it needs to be ported.
Could someone please please port that?
Should be pretty easy for someone who knows how to do it.
Nothing??
A lot of HTC's built-in apps use their own proprietary libraries that are bundled in with Sense. Porting all of those over would be a tremendous undertaking for one app, unfortunately. Essentially until someone with too much time on their hands makes a Sense ROM for the Note 3, you're out of luck.
Your best option, buy again a HTC one.
