[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.

1 or 2 question about the Nexus 7 Android Development

Hi,
i am new to this device and i want to calrify some things first. I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (previously Nexus One) and i am familiar to the dev sections of android/nexus devices.
1. What i do not understand is why the dev section is separated into Nexus 7 Android Development and Nexus 7 Original Development.
I there any difference between these devices or are they the same? I am in europe - which one do i usually get?
2. What is a good ROM to start with? What i am basically looking for is a fast and lean ROM with a very stock look and very good battery life. I am also looking for a true tablet UI look as it is on the transformer prime for instance. I mean i dont want those dock icons on the right when i hold the N7 horizontally...
Any suggestions? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance

1.original android development means that the devs there started the work from scratch/ or based from stock rom while android development is the place where people use other roms as a base and put their improvements into it (correct me if i'm wrong though)
2. you can try them all out check what fits your standard and look at the features if it has what you want try paranoid since it offers options which can make N7 look like tab

for question #2, try out Paranoid Android. that should give you the feel you are looking for in a tablet.

^^ what they said. PA for that tablet feel and while you are at it may I recommend Franco's kernel

[Q] Pure AOSP Nexus ROM

First of all, hello to all Lg G2 users. I joined the family upgrading from S4 two weeks ago.
I was wondering why there isn't any pure AOSP rom? Is there a big reason or something? We got the same hardware as N5 and from my side i dont know why there aren't any pure AOSP roms at the top of all threds.
Btw the phone is great! And i really fell upgrading from S4 is a big defference.

well that's very simple if we were aiming for pure aosp experience than we would have opted for a nexus, actually that isn't true I'm pretty sure the reason there isn't a pure aosp rom is because nobody bothers to make one, there are alternatives like cm/aokp/pa and each one is better than pure because they have new things to play with, im pretty sure that it wouldn't be hard to make a pure aosp rom I mean it'd be a simple as taking cm, removing all the features and making it look as nexus as possible

Well, i think that pure AOSP roms are always welcome to any device. I'm not a developers or got a lot of free time so i cant create it myself that's why i'm asking.

Im waiting so hard... cannot wait anymore i love SailFish design.

Development is getting there, WLAN and Audio is working now, in time, we'll see a ROM.

I'm really exited about this os... hope that jolla releases soon the rom.

The source code has been available on github, from the following link , this has been available for some time, but I lack the knowledge, and time to build the ROM, and kernel.
The kernel is a modified CM11 kernel, and the kickstarter file from the repository should setup the rom with all the repo dependencies (including the actual sailfish os part) that it relies on to work, providing I correctly understand what a kickstarter file does.

Is it possible to port it to galaxy s4 i9500?
If yes, can some port it? or can someone teach me how to port? or is there any tutorial for porting it?

This looks Promising ...
I want that ^^ can't weit till we can get a shot at it

yeah, I hope we will get some news soon, I'd fancy a nexus 5 sailfish-rom most of course
Anyhow, it seems the nexus 5 wasn't that of a good choice imo. Sure, it has good specs for that low price, but owning a Nexus S before I thought the N5 is a good choice also towards support for new roms (like the Nexus S was: you always got new / experimental roms for it first). Now the N5 seems to have bad hardware in the way that it is hard to implement in new roms (e.g. find suitable driver) which is a shame. Well, I'm not sure if I'd buy another Nexus phone again, thankfully there are many alternatives now (the fairphone, jolla phones etc).

Umm.. Guys? The rom has been out for over a month already.

Porting full HTC Sense to S7 edge

Guys I had HTC Desire EYE and have moved to S7 edge a year ago cause it looked awesome plus the better capabilities (CPU.. RAM..) and battery. But I miss Sense UI! So I thought of porting the full manufacturer ROM to our device from HTC 10. Any guides? Is it even possible?
If I want to make a hybrid Sense ROM based on lineage OS, will it be better?
I saw a manufacturer porting guide on XDA but it supports upto kitkat only.
