Porting full HTC Sense to S7 edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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.

[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?

i too have been lookn for that hard to find launcher
Ughhh,i think I'm going to be sick
Why not? I'd like to try that

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.

Android revolution HD should move base to sense 3

When Mike update his base for the ARHD rom, a lot of feature/mods needed to be be updated. like themes etc.
I asked a theme developer to update his theme and he asked me why should he still be udating sense 2.1 when theres already a sense 3.
I thought of that, even though we dont have an official sense 3 release for DHD, but most dev have achieved a stable sense 3 roms for DHD.
I can easily swap roms, but am a good fan of mike1986 and would like to make a request for a sense 3 based ARHD. since everyone is flashing sense 3 mods, we can all as well beg for a sense 3 rom.
i understand its a challenging request to make but i started this thread to ask other intrested users to support me. please vote
and hope mike and his team would put this into consideration
hit thanks if u like the idea
the idea is to keep this close to stock and as stable as possible. i'd rather have a reliable rom that functions properly than a bunch of flare that causes issues. mike and team have provided the proper OPTIONS to add these elements to the rom if one chooses to do so.
I'd say that's a rather bad idea, since Sense 3.0 was never designed for this device, is still unstable and certainly slower.
ARHD is not one of the experimental ROMs, it stands for stability and performance.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Sense 3 sucks. It doesn't matter what you say it slows the device down. The only way ARHD should move to Sense 3 is if there is an official update from HTC with Sense 3 included. Otherwise it is Sense 2.1 all the way baby!
I beg to differ. Im on virtuous unity, and its stable as hell! What is this criticism based on? U say this and that bout sense 3, but have u tried a sense 3 rom?

designed, mike can design it to work on any cpu, thats why he is the best, thats why this request.
even if there is no switch, he can still make a new rom, to add to his catalogue of roms
Like others have pointed out, the concept behind ARHD is to keep visual stock and to improve the performance etc. If you would like sense 3 goodness, flash the addons or simply move to another rom.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
mike has already answered this!
he WILL move to a sense 3 base ONCE HTC RELEASE AND OFFICAL DHD SENSE 3 UPDATE
until then he wants to stick to a non ported offical base, who can blame him! it runs so slick!
at the end of the day its his personal time that is taken up developing arhd for us, and this is why we like it so much! if you dont then move to a ported sense 3 rom
arhd is one of the best roms. i would suggest to keep one as close to stock as possible and one seperate arhd rom with sense 3.0, so once its perferct we can all flash
i agree unity rom are really niice !!

No. Sense 3.0 was released on phones that have dual core processors, but it really doesn't make a difference. All of the Sense 3.0 stuff, I bet, will be mostly running off a single core.
It's just a matter of porting and optimising for the DHD.
As to whether or not ARHD should move to Sense 3.0, no. The whole point is that it's a ROM that runs off of the latest stock base. It is supposed to feel stock, work like it's stock, and run reliably like it's stock. Because for the most part, it is stock.
If you want Sense 3.0, you have two choices already, RCMix3D and Virtuous Unity.
I am also an ARHD fan but now im using Virtuous Unity, its stable, ok not as stable as ARHD but its sense 3...
sense 3.0 is cool but ARHD is maded for ver2.1 and this step may cause troubles...

Sorry... you guys missed one feature difference -> DOLBY..
I bought this phone mainly for Dolby + HTC
Sense 3 dosent support DOLBY so a no go from me...
Other than DOLBY sense 3 is a good ROM to be with DHD

flashing the add-ons won't eat much time if you really want a Sense 3.0 feeling to your ARHD Rom...

This. This is what I have done. All you are missing out on without Sense 3.0 are widgets (only Photo Grid comes to mind), the camera with HDR (which you can use on the latest base without problems, though you are downgrading the framework doing that) and 3D homescreens (which by nature have a low frame rate).

How about building HTC Sense Rom

Guys i am a big fan of HTC Sense.
I am not a developer but i if anyone wants to build a new ROM just giving a suggestion how about building a Sense ROM.
I even tried porting HTC Blinkfeed that is available for CM Roms but it doesnt give pure experience of Sense Rom's.
Anyone interested ?
Just got my new OP2, coming from HTC One M8 and decided against an M9 because of the Hardware.
But I'd be really looking forward to a Sense ROM for the OP2, they still got the best UX imho.
Just let me know if someone gives it a try...
Have you tired Xpirt's port of Sense 7 on non rooted devices?

Yes, Same here.
I was Using HTC phones from last 4 years and there Sense Rom's are awesome. Tons of features and customization.
I always used the Team Venom's Rom and they work flawlessly.
if anyone can port the complete Sense 7 on Oneplus 2 that will be awesome.

Yes i have tried that port.
It is good but dont works properly on Oxygen Rom and CM is also not stable yet for our OP2
That port doesn't give complete HTC Sense experience.
This would be incredible.
Someone should ask mike1986 if that's possible.
I've had HTC One phones for the last 3 or 4 years..... I always rooted and used either a GPe ROM or my favorite HTC ROM/maker = ViperOne, but usually the non-sense version, and then I used Nova to make it as close to GPe as possible, but still had the Sense apps. Not a big fan of BlinkFeed, but loved the camera, gallery, and music player......Which I found these 3 apps here on XDA, but the camera and music player are a little buggy on my OP2.
Hi guys, I'm reading this thread and I'm in the same position.
I had only HTC from many years: Desire, Sensation, One M7, One E8 (dual sim).
HTC sense, high end phones, very nice design... This was HTC for me in past.
I was in love with HTC, but now I decided to buy OP2.
Reasons:
- I need dual sim
- Hardware/price
- I really like to customize my phones with roms, kernels...
A dual sim flagship is not usual. If you buy a S6 dual sim (or other highend unit), you are buying a version of the phone, so no roms availables...
If a Sense rom appears... I'm sure I will use it
Until there's a Sense based ROM (not sure there ever will be?), here's a link to some of the Sense apps/launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438

Camera did not work for me either.
It worked on my Moto X Pure Edition, but was a little laggy and crashed if I was using it to take a bunch of pictures. So I stopped using it as my main camera.

lineage OS rom for the HTC U Ultra

Hi,
Is there a possibility that a custom rom like lineage OS would be available for the HTC U Ultra? Just wanted to know. Thanks!

Hi John, quite limited development on this board for the U Ultra so far. Perhaps in a few weeks when the devices get out there a bit more?
Based on the current pricing, a lot of people are holding out for a G6 or S8, so if HTC drops the price on this, it might help with development.
If people think this phone is expensive look at the S8 and S8+ prices lol. Yea hopefully the price drops on this phone. I'm disappointed there are no development so far. This is the longest a phone I owned has been running a stock rom.

Well I waited a year for custom roms to be available for my galaxy s7. I was only running modified stock roms, no AOSP till about 9 months after the phone was released. Hopefully it wouldn't be that long for this one!
The biggest obstacle is having support for the second screen. If it's accomplished the LGV10&20 might become better devices
Still no LineageOS port? In Germany you can get the device atm for 222 Euro at MediaMarkt, what a price drop in only one year..

I would install Lineage 15.1 without support for the second screen for sure.
The problem is that no Lineage developer have this phone. This phone was undersold, and now it's pushing a little bit through by selling it under $300. But I think it's a little bit late
Hopefully, just 1 lineage os developer takes the lead and ports Lineage 15.1 to this phone forgetting about the mini screen
Come on guys.. Who need the stupid second screen?
Bring Lineage OS to htc u ultra.. Many ppl don't buy it because "our" forum section is empty and without custom roms. lol

Well without the second screen it's a little unesthetic I tried
Ubuntu via linuxdeploy. And as I said ugly AF. And I want to look fukscreen video it's really annoying.
But shouldn't it be quite easy to take the source code for the second screen as a flashable mod? Kind of like viper or flash camera mod for u11?
Now I'm not a developer I just started writing and so far I just writing bash and python. But got the idea when I flashed debloat via magisk and second screen was listed at apps.
Anyways haven't tried to flash lineage yet.
I was thinking like flash lineage and then flash second screen mod. Is it super hard to accomplish? Just curious and have a big interest in minimalistic os and so on.
Beat regards.

Android Go, any chances to get it on galaxy s5?

Hello everyone,
I've been reading about the new google project Android go which will bring all the low resources phones android 8.1 optimizing the ram usage and many other aspects so that 8.1 can run smoothly.
Our galaxy s5 is now getting a "low end" phone even if it is simply amazing, so I was thinking, for people like me who love touchwiz, android go is a new hope to get android 8.1 officially and to give a new and longer life to our loved phone.
How about it developers? do you think it will be possible to get a ported versione for our galaxy s5? At the moment it seems that lineageOs staff is working on it already.
How about you galaxy s5 users? would you like to have it on your phone? what do you all think about it?
I'm happy to read your impressions and hopes, please leave a comment :fingers-crossed:

Thank you....I was hoping to get a "ported" version of the android go from samsung to get and "official" android 8.1 on our galaxy s5 keeping the great camera quality and audio quality avoiding to move to a non touchwiz rom, it would be great! I personally think that it won't be something impossible and I hope to see it soon on xda I tried already the file in the link and I personally don't notice a great improvement on a 6.0.1 android rom as it is optimized for 8.1 android. anyway thank you so much :good::good::good:

You won't notice any big difference since the S5 hardware is still capable of handling Android 8 flawlessly, you may notice some improvement on increased internal storage capacity and ram management when running a lot of apps.
