i just saw this video and heard a rumor that the 2nd gen samsung moment running android 2.1 will have this UI built in it. looks amazing and super fast! if this is released could it be ported to the hero at all? looks like a great alternative to sense IMO.
thoughts?

ill try to find it tonight.
i've never tried it but i think it looks pretty sleek also.
although after having a moment for 3 weeks and returning it for the hero it will take a lot more than a sleek ui to ever get me to buy another samsung phone.
I heard that same rumor. I don't think there'd be anything stopping it from being ported being that it would simply be a home replacement. It my not even need to be ported at all.. just push an apk and some libs maybe.
That samsung wave is definitely not an android phone though.

What the hell is this touchwiz, is it an overlay like Sense?

TouchWiz
Did this ever get ported? Would really love to see this, as I really love it's interface. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I DID search the forums and google didn't come up with anything.
Its horrible. Been playing with it on our demo epic at work and its just bad. It feels really bulky and slow and looks cheap.
This looks cool, but kind of engineered to be over simplified. Reminds me of an iphone, but for kids. Haha
It seems like this version of touchwiz can be ported, but don't some things, like the toggles on the drop down bar, need edits to the frameworks to make them work? Seems to me like a Wave ROM would be a better idea to get sell of the features of touchwiz. I wouldn't mind that, as the Samsung lockscreen looks really cool. (slide in any direction to unlock).

I have an Epic and I am really enjoying the interface, would like to put on my Hero as well. If not the functionality, at least the format/color scheme would be nice.

It seems 2.0 is much closer than was initially thought. Wonder if this update is coming to magics and g1s or if it's only coming on new, higher res screen phones.

It looks great but from what is on display it doesnt look too heavy, like sense.
It's funny how things get leaked from HTC all the time and so early in progress
Really looking forward to this update.

Why is it that 32a users still havent gotten 1.6 and now we are already waiting for 2.0?

One of the pictures actually says "model: droid" so aparently you are right...
Looks like they finally hired some REAL designers to replace the freaking ugly icons android uses now.
Awesome
I wonder how long we will have to wait
ah this looks so sweet, im bored of 1.6 and there really isnt a hero rom that runs smooth enough on a voda magic. this looks much better, lets hope it get released for porting and is smooth!!
Can't wait for 2.0, I like what I see, the new icons are so much better. And finally multi-select in the email app! Hope there's a leak soon
How do we which of these are these are features of 2.0 which are features of the moto droid rom? The artwork, icons and lockscreen etc, for example, I bet they are not standard features of android 2.0.
Still looks pretty cool though! Someone needs to do a nandroid of it and post it here!!

It seems that Droid is a Google Experience phone and therefore Motorola could not have messed with the ROM.
I like some of the "squareness", it seems cleaner and less "bubbly". As mentioned by others, I'm concerned that some of the things I like are actually Motorola-specific, although it's mostly all visual stuff so I can see themes being able to mimic this anyhow if necessary. I bet the icons and the lock screen are Motorola's.
I'm a little ambivolent about the "driver mode" stuff. I don't know that drivers should be doing anything with their phones AT ALL while they are at the wheel. I think it would have been better to eschew that custom screen and just have optional use of voice commands throughout the interface. Then again, it's still legal to use phones while driving in many countries, so I suppose this was necessary to stay ahead of the competition.
that looks sweet. can't wait.
i just hope i see official support for bluetooth profiles like obex.
and also more video support for avi, mkv etc.
I was wondering if it'd be possible to port over the latest version of Sense from the Desire or Legend? I know it's a long shot but it's got to be easier than doing the whole of Android. New Sense looks awesome and it'd be great to have it on the HD2.
You want an Android UI on a WinMo device...?
I know it sounds a bit stupid, but the Sense UI on Android looks so awesome.

When you say it's easier then porting over all of Android, that's not really true. It needs the rest of Android to run. It cannot run under the Windows Mobile environment.

I understand that. Maybe it could be fashioned out of the current Sense on WinMo? Just heavily modded.

Now that sounds more feasible. Maxcy is doing some crazy things with Sense so you can pitching the idea to him.

I've been working on this since yesterday and I made quite some nice progress I must say. The launcher works like a charmn, it's very smooth and of course eye candy.
Here are some screenshots proving that it works on the Nexus One.
See this post for the release : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763
Widgets etc work flawlessly, I am going to release this in the upcoming days so keep an eye on the Dev forum.
Never used it.
Are there any unique widgets/features ?
Yay, variety!

Is it more like a launcher replacement or needs additional framework like Sense UI?
In short, does it need root or not.

It comes with an additional framework just like Sense. There have been modification done to the framework.jar aswell so I had to modify the one on my Nexus One.

It will defiantly be a zip file and you will need root to flash it.

honestly, I'm interested in looking at the hardware and the screens. You could very well get a stock android 2.1. 2.2, etc. on the Vibrant but I really want to see how well the screen looks and how snappy the phone is overall.

+1 This is way cool... There was a similiar post over in the themes section not long ago. I can't find it now but the OP was trying to find a theme that looked very close to this? Since this is a rom this is the place to ask!
i hope we can make this happen, nokia's have a solid OS.

the processor wouldn't be an issue at all... it's other things like the gpu, touchscreen, buttons, camera, etc. that would make it difficult.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I read once when there were talks about porting FroYo or something to our phone, the only real candidate was the MyTouch Slide because it had the same CPU tables or something as our phone. Without the same CPU tables (w/e it was), the port was a lot more difficult. But yes, if we did get the cpu to work right, the rest would be difficult.
They should Port this two...

You're not the only one that likes it, no, I do as well Just hope that the future ICS HTC Devices will have less sense UI and more ICS UI, becuase I like the ICS look and feel MUCH more then Sense.
When I first saw this headline I thought they actually meant locking phones into a theme - like a skin I guess - and I thought that was terrible. Now I've read it properly, it does make some sense (no pun).
