I notice that you are on Orange. I was but got a better deal on T-Mobile that Orange retentions refused to match.
Sense UI is great.
Would it by any means be possible to port this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788389 to the legend device?
I would gladly help if anyone would teach me.

I also wanna know
It probably is possible. However it's not as straight forward as you think. The Legend is somewhat built differently.
superb ui i have ever seen in android..better than iphone. porting is not fully possible........but u can make similar ui..........any way nice one....and aliba want to see this ....[a gifted devlp] [someone send a private message to him]

Why isn't porting fully possible?

Because of the different hardware.. if it was easy to do so the froyo for desire would also have been ported by now

Yeah allright. But I suppose it's possible to port some of the stuff? The launcher maybe?

Last I saw, there was somebody in the G1 forums trying to get MIUI ported to G1. From there, since there would be no resolution difference, it shouldn't be too hard to get it onto other HVGA screens. Also, something optimized for a G1 would run blazing fast on most other devices, I assume.
Search for MIUI for HVGA screens, see what comes up and if you can find the guy. If it works, I'd love to see it get ported to my Hero.
Maybe there is some hope afterall.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794871 - these guys are doing all the hard work resizing the images. If the ROM gets ported to G1, it should be easy to port it from G1 to Legend, right?
Give them some time... week or two... we'll see if they will give up on this or not. Converting images from hdpi to mdpi is not that straight forward job, especially with .9 pngs.
*yawn*
Seems like legend wouldnt see any MIUI.
I wish i hadnt seen that miui demo video
There are some progress in porting the png images for hvga devices though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858935
Update 12/22/10: We are officially done porting every single png in every apk to be compatible with our phones (mdpi). .....

So yeah, every png has been ported http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858935
Why haven't a rom been released yet?
EDIT: http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?1756-Porting-MIUI-to-HTC-Evo - I'm not capable of following the guide myself, but with the ported pngs, it should work if we just follow the guide, right?

Isn't sense 2 already on the phone?
the new sense is only for the new devices coming out soon, the wildfire is an old device and i dont think they would bother to update it for the phone. unless someone ports it to the wildfire.

Nope I think Sense 1 is what you see as the User Interface. HTC calls Sense 2 for their special services.

By the way, check "Lookout". Its an app which does half what HTCSense.com will do. Its available even now!!
Backups, Security, Find missing device are the key features

I just got a G2 a few days ago. Its advertised as running Sense. I dont have it. and ive seen around many other done either.
It says online if you have TMO you can get it from https://www.htcsense.com/
Can someone sign up? get it? and temp root and post the package?
Thanks!
That's strange...where did you see that it advertised sense running on the G2?

That's the Desire Z, it's a phone hardware identical to the g2 but instead of stock android, it has Sense 2 (i think there calling it). it's released in Europe, not here.
In other words
Desire Z = Europe version and has sense
G2 = US version with vanilla
but once we figure out a perm root im sure a ROM will be created easily

I understand personal pref.... BUT why ruin a vanilla android OS that comes from the carrier? Especially a carrier that has plenty of sense devices.

I came from the g1 then mytouchslide I loved sense it has more options for widgets,calling(t9) ,and browser settings. The g2 is amazing and fast but it looks like the g1 as far as looks go.
I have just seen some wildfire s movies and the point is:
it's runneing gingerbread and it has a flip clock.
My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire.
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours.
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread.
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
I hope someone really know something about it.

It is not nearly the same. It is totally different. And, to get the new Sense, the code has to be released by HTC. Till that, there wont be a GB Sense Enabled ROM for the Wildfire.
Also, I am pretty sure with the release of the S, HTC will not conveniently forget the original Wildfire and probably not release any updates for it. Its basically an EOL Product now. Its the way the industry works.
After some monthes on the market every mobile phone is EOL. You are right!

If you really want gingerbread on wildfire, you can try Cyanogen 7. There is no htc sense with cyanogen though.
Just for the new sense

I know but I want the new sense xD
Its more like the aria or gratia (what is the point of that - considering the wildfire s is better) or legend or salsa than the wildfire (they are all the same phone in a different box with a different rom)

I'm using cm 7 right now.
It is very nice, but I've send a mail to HTC.
Hope they will answer.
I really like gingerbread, but I just want the new sense ( without buying a newer phone ).
So if I got mail about it.
Will you see it on this topic

My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire. -No, not the same hardware
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours. -HVGA vs QVGA.... lots of resizing and xml, program modifying. And devs are not really interested
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread. - Not really with a spray of impossible
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
-I have not seen Sense 3.0 on a QVGA device, so low porting chances.
I hope someone really know something about it.

soory for this crappy thread
Hello people,
I'm using cm 7 right now.
This is a question to alex, I think that you know more about it.
So is it possible to port htc sense to cm7.
And so yes:How can I do it on my own.
So please answer.
edit ment normal sense.
It is possible to get the Gingerbread update but no way it would get the new Sense.

No it's not possible to port anything HTC to an AOSP ROM, there is a theme though which makes it look like HTC Sense!
why not

Why not.
I mean can not one app ported to a aosp rom?
Simply because HTC apps require a framework that AOSP ROMS do not have as it is power consuming and is slow.

Sadly the HTC framework is not compatible with AOSP ROMS at the ROMS have to support it. Your english is fine, don't worry!

As djdevine2 stated above, porting Sense would be very hard or even impossible. Sense is like a bug that crawls really deep inside the Android OS. Eliminating is it hard, I imagine introducing it would be also very, very hard.
And not to mention the possible Legal issues that could appear
maybe there is hope
It has also been rumored that the HTC Wildfire will receive the recently released 2.3 Gingerbread update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire
This is just a rumor, but there is still hope.
Doesn't look so. If you look at the citation on that particular line, and, read that thread in another forum, there is nothing there to state that HTC has said anything about 2.3 on Wildfire. It is simply a speculative thread, and, points to CM7 for 2.3 on Wildfire.
"You can have your doubts about when your phone maker will finally get around to delivering an Android 2.3 update (March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson), but the smartphone dev community doesn't work that slowly. The guys who build custom ROMs just for the sheer pride of it have already begun work on delivering Gingerbread to owners of HTC's EVO 4G, Droid Eris, and Wildfire."
