Chances of Seeing Sense UI on Raphael???

I would if anyone is considering trying to port this over since it´s already HTC´s? The general news is ambiguous about the mater... Anyone?

I think we'll only going to see it when the first WM phone will be released with it...
Fortunately, by HTC's CEO own words "(... HTC´s Sense UI ...) debuting on the HTC Hero and available on all new HTC devices moving forward (...)”

It looks just like TF3D. Why spend the time to get it of TF3D works and was made for our phones?

I was under the impression that Sense UI was part of the upcoming Hero device which is multi-touch and running Android.
Assuming I am correct, that would indicate to me that it will most likely not be possible to port it.
Cheers,

Although this is true, pbmestre is also true in saying that the CEO said that they will bring the sense UI to winmo devices. So i think it's going to be a long time before we see it on a raphael, since the android version will be practically impossible to port to a winmo phone. We'll just have to wait until it comes out on one of HTC's future winmo devices, and then port it.

Probably, you're correct...
I think that a WM UI version will be available, and will be a step forward from TF3D2... Probably TP2 will have it, within WM6.5 Upgrade...
Still, it will demand a lot of work to port it... As it is a lot more complex (!?)...
But, we can still dream...

TF3D "works" on our phones?? Just barely, if that's what you want to call what it does on our phones.....
I read that Sense is supposed to be the replacement for TF3D (thank god I really hate buggy slow TF3D). That being the case, it will only be a matter of time before we will see it on our WM devices. The sooner the better!

LOL ... I love the pretty slide'n'flo feel of TouchFLO.
I've always found the Windows Mobile GUI lacking in appeal - IMHO, 6.5 is a step in the right direction.

Gotta agree with you there mate, touch flo is good for touch screen though the "sliding Panels" Chome works awesome on a smartphone. Still got a 6.1 build on my excalibur that I love

I used ultimate launch till I found SPB MobileShell 3.0. I cannot stand the slide n flo it was always insulting to me how they could give us such a poorly performing UI. I agree Windows Mobile UI by itself sucks as well but Tflo is just so inefficient I personally couldn't take it.

I just read an article over on wmpoweruser.com that says it's in the works.

Yes SPB MS 3 has taken over my phone as well, it's the first piece of software that I've been ALMOST completely happy with in a long time. Plus any software that could get you to quit talking about UL all the time is alright with me I will still be interested to see what HTC can do with the new UI.

Sense UI
So any good news with a HTC sense UI for raphael phone?

Petition For Sense 3.0

http://www.groubal.com/bring-htc-se...-such-as-the-desire-hd-and-others/#signatures
This is a community petition to request Sense 3.0 on older devices, I hope that we get a lot of people to sign this petition, please spread the word!

I hate Sense with a passion. But I will sign the patition because sense 3.0 is kinda cool and I plan on porting a 3.0 rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Saw a review on the sensation and they said that sense 3.0 offers a minimal update and is not anything you would expect as an update after such a long time. It's pretty much going from Froyo to Gingerbread... barely anything different just little noticeable things. Point is I wouldn't get your hopes up about the quality of 3.0.

I disagree. Sense 3.0 is a huge update over previous versions of Sense. Coming from a Desire HD port, 3.0 has a lot of improvements and cool features.

used sense 3.0, then tried to switch back to stock. impossible.

Is that surprising? The pros/cons of the various UIs have always been debated. Clearly a lot of people agree with me because, as I'm sure you've noticed, Sense has quite a following.

You are mistaken at what I am saying. This is not sense bashing. THis is stating that the improvement to sense is lackluster after such a long time between updates. I like sense and have always been a supporter of it. My point is sense 3.0 is not a big jump over 2.1 and definitely not enough to make me want to buy a new phone just because it has 3.0.
Both articles I read eliminated the debate on Sense Vs. Touchwiz Vs. blah blah blah. It was purely a review on the merit of the update.

if you've ran the virtuous fusion rom you would see that sense 3.0 does offer some pretty big changes over sense 2.1, so maybe quit reading biased reviews and start experiencing the stuff for yourself?

This. BGR would lower the score to a 2/5.
I've run plenty of Sense roms as far back as the old Hero roms on my G1, Sense 3.0 doesn't fundamentally change the ui, but it does add quite a bit of features that improve it, from the active lockscreen to the notification toggles for wifi/bluetooth/etc. I'm really liking Virtuous Fusion.

+1. Sense 3.0 rocks. Makes me forget about ever having owned an iPhone. And if I want to remember, I'll just run MIUI which is still way better!

I just had to chime in here for a min. I have a sensation and my wife has a mt4g. New sense and old sense. The differences are big enough. Just set them side by side and look.

There is no point to petition for Sense 3.0
The Stock ROM is Laggy and couldn't believe I used it for 3 months before unlocking/Rooting my phone.
There are better options Virtuous ROM is Sense 3.0 and can't wait to see Virtuous Unity.
Personally I actually like 2.1 Sense (minus the lagg), just miss it. Sense 3.0 just feels way too different and was a bit let down. It actually turned me off from getting the Sensation.
The new devs on the Virtuous is really exciting and can't wait to see what they cook up.

How about just make it consumer choice and just make the warranty not void when loading a rom of our choice... Used to be a big aosp believer but recently fell in love with sense, just not mysense. Even learned to love miui. I use all 3 in rotation throughout the week. Htc is starting to support and encourage devs and the community.

OpenSense SDK and Transformer...

Would it be possible to take the OpenSense SDK and merge some of the features into the HoneyComb Transformer Tab? I've always loved Sense over stock android.
I know the HTC Flyer should be going android 3.2 before too long, I would love to see a port
Edit:

I'm just super pleased with the experience I had with my HTC Evo, even after rooting it I kept Sense, the ASOP roms and MIUI rom didnt sit well with me... I dislike stock Android since to get the same functions that i got with Sense i would have to install 4 apps.
I know HTC isn't the best for Developers but imo they did put good idea's on-top-off android, but getting it built in more so (So its not so resource-intensive) would be better.

The opensense sdk is not made to put sense on devices, it's made to extent and/or enhance sense if it's (already) installed.
More specific, it's for writing sense Widgets, plugins etc..., not sense itself .

HTC Sensation/XE users, if you wants to have a look at the Sense 4.0 ROM leak from HTC Endeavour (RUU), please try this ROM by TripNRaVeR HERE. But its wayy to buggy! Definitely not a daily driver, but amazing work by the Dev!
Watch the Video of the ROM linked above, HERE
HTC haven't confirmed what phone will get ICS and when!
So far, HTC Sensation/XE, HTC Evo 3D, and a few others have been confirmed.
No idea about the HTC Evo 4g, HTC Desire HD and Droid Incredible!
Thought, the new line of HTC phone from 2011 will get ICS by the end of Q3!
- BE SURE TO HIT THANKS!
More updates coming.

Intersting... Thank u

Let me summarize Sense 4.0 for those who arent sure. As you can see from the post above HTC has added even more useless "features" into the next release of Sense. It will be even more bloated, take up far more memory, and suck your battery dry faster than ever! In addition it will have lots a stupid animations that will enable you to impress little children. The worst part of it will be that Sense 4.0 will negate most of the benefits of pure ICS by layering on hot steamy piles of horse sh*t! The good news is that with Google requiring all future Android phones meet a certain standard, we will see less and less of these "enhancements" being added by manufactures and carriers. This will help stop the fracturing of Android and make it easier for developers to make apps that work across the entire platform. In addition, now that Google owns the division of Motorola that makes Android phones we will soon have a number of proper Android devices to choose from. People looking for pointless "features" and "eye candy" will still be able to get their fix of course; except going forward it will come with piece of fruit on the back of the device.

That's so true! Sense 4.0 is gonna be a 500+ MB update.
The problem is, they add more and more, keeps stacking. Which makes it bloated..
They should start over again. Its just MENU AFTER MENU AFTER MENU!

Ermm...source for Sense 4.0 preview? Android 4.x surely?
As far as I'm aware the preview is for Sense 3.5(6?) and will only be open to selected (or more likely those who have an Sensation/XE) members of the Elevate program or HTC Developers in Europe.
Though I'd be quite happy to receive Sense 4.0 ahead of the One X!

Yeah, we already know about this. It's NOT Sense 4.0 but at some point in the next week a few in the HTC Elevate programme will get to receive the ICS OTA. It's NOT started yet

There was no official announcement from HTC that we will get Snese 4.0 , Questions asked to HTC via Twitter and Facebook regarding 4.0 were ignored.
Yes they gonna talk about Sense at MWC but that doesn't mean it will come to Sensation , most likely its for Ville and Endeavor only. Maybe we will get it this fall.

Bleh they kept the 3-dot menu. At least change it aesthetically, move it somewhere else or something. I know the option will probably be there to use the menu key. People complained and we got that ICS update. You'd think that'd be a flag for them to change it.

Well, honestly? Not impressed.
Yes, Im fully aware that its very early leaked pictures, and it will probably change A LOT before its released.
Still, based on those screenshots - not impressed...

Qualcomm just said to out S5 600/800 this year and Nvidia T4 is coming soon too. They support 4k [email protected] or 2k [email protected] and HDR burst mode.

to me it seems Android is a badly optimized OS, it needs quadcores, 2Ghz, 90 GPU cores in order to run smoothly...
WP8 (Lumia 800) did it better with a singlecore CPU.
iphone does it better with an 800MHz CPU (and did it better than the rest from the beginnings of iphone)
so wtf?

Its because Android runs on so many different devices - iOS runs on 5-6 or whatever it is.
Its a hell a lot easier to optimize a program/OS for a small set of devices, than a large set.
If android-devices were stuck with a set spec, it would be much more optimized. But since there arent any such restrictions, manufactures are free to put whatever hardware they want in them.
Software developing takes a lot longer than hardware development.
