(REQ)HTC Sense UI - G1 Android Development

I would love to see the HTC sense UI for cyanogenmod5. I'm a big fan of the clock widget off KiNgxKxKlair DroidEris2G1. Could this work?

No it can't not.

Try Beautiful Widgets, and no the Sense UI and Cy mod are not capable together. Maybe the kernel will sometime but not the actual rom. BTW major off with the section try Q&A next time before you get flamed hard.

possible Yes the other way around
you can have an htc rom and "some stuff from Cyanogenmod like video cam possibly BT

If that worked, don't you think we'd already have done it?

This is development. You had an extremely simple question that could've been answered in cm's thread, or better yet in Q&A if you insist that your question is important enough to warrant it's own thread. Respect gets respect, even on the internet.
Proto is right, if this was possible somebody would've already done it ten times.

ugh 12 post noob. damn. no this isnt possible.

No because it's so much easier to port a whole ROM over than it is to do a hybrid. Theoretically, it would be possible to take the frameworks of Sense and apply them to the source.
Besides, your analogy seems kind of flawed. It's like saying a few days ago, "If it was possible to get full 3D and Video Acceleration on 2.1 we would've already done it." And all it took was one very dedicated and intelligent coder named Cyanogen doing it.

agreed. probably possible.. but whats the use?

Even if it was possible we have to remember it has been out for two days and is an experimental rom. NOBODY wants to work for a few hours for a couple days only to have a new, more stable rom come out that could potentially break the work they just finished. They would rather have a rom that is "stable" and won't be replaced within days (Meaning yes, a long-term rom that won't be updated for 2+ weeks).

By the time that happens we will have all discarded our G1's. Do remember people do this as a hobby not for a job, that's for actual devs that do it for a job.

Here are some sense similar apps:
-Weather wid donate
-Hero Settings widgets
-Pandahero
-GDE+Hero theme
-Pure widget series(Cal,music,etc) by Koxx

[ROM] Senseless_EVO v.1.1 (not asop)

now rebased off rvu 1.3.1 so that means 4g should be a go
I removed all HTC widgets and most HTC/sprint apps except for the needed ones people messages music etc. Plus a few I happen to like
Big thanks to Keith and gbhil over at Android central for an amazing Rom to base this off of
Also gotta thank toast maejrep and co. For root
Wipe is most likely needed haven't tried to flash yet without
and yes you will keep root if you flash this if you used toasts method haven't confirmed unrevoked
Changelog:
1.1 now based on rvu 1.3.1 com.HTC.utility no longer fcs
1.0 based of rvu 1.0 all HTC widgets/apps removed except for messages etc....
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6316939/senseless-evo-v1.1.zip
http://www.4shared.com/file/kkuR1-0O/senseless-evo-v10.html
Looks great! I will load this later!
I highly recommend getting adw launcher it'd amazing
Does anyone know where com.HTC.rosieutility is located or what on here could still be causing it to fc on boot it doesn't affect the phone at all its just annoying seeing that every reboot
A couple of questions. Will you still be rooted if you flash this rom? Does it still have the market or 4G problems of other roms.

Yup you'll still be rooted with toasts method at least never touch the unrevoked root
I have no idea about 4g I would say probably not since I didn't change anything in that regard
I'll get back to u on the market
Aw, darn. I thought this was actually an AOSP ROM. This is basically already what I've done to my stock ROM.

Good job. Thanks for the speedy contribution towards our shiny new evo rom collection I remember liking sense and aosp so i like both and i always wanted sense to run right. That was everyones complaint with sense. Well thats not an issue anymore. I thought i would be all on it, like with my hero w/o thinking.....well as soon as i got my evo i forgot all that i learned about root and why to do it....JK but i am very satisfied with it and i will wait until i can access recovery and rw to system from device before i do. I spent the whole time i had my hero trying to make it into a device like this.....well now i have it Gimme a week and i think ill go to work.......

Until we have fully functional aosp/froyo/2.2 you wont have a rom that will even work without a bunch of sense remnants wasting space on your internal storage and increasing rom size.HTC is a shiny ui htc used to lure in all the apple morons(no offense i used to have an iphone before my hero). and since they made the devices, they're plaguing software/htc sense is an integral part of the ruu they put together. This is the reason everyone always wants a non-sense rom or VANILLA. We will not have full function vanilla until toast or someone else here compiles an0ther makeshift kernel, or lastly when htc releases the source so that we can compile a kernel with the right device drivers, to give us a full function rom. It would be to say the least, very very very hard to just compile the right drivers for the htc device hardware, thus all the aosp/froyo with certain features such as cam, or 4G missing.......hope this helps you und3rstand what you are looking for a little bit more clearly. In theory, YOU or I could create the source code for the kernel and drivers. Is that going to HAPPEN?????????????????? Probably not. Dont worry though, we have toast, so we happen to have a head start in the race.....

search my name in xda search youll find PLENTY of inter3sting things ive said. Do your own homework before instulting me or anyone else please.I meant neither of you any disrespect. I was explaining myself a little better and when i put up the 2nd post i saw this. This is an open forum right? well thats my opinion and some info. If you dl'd the rom you would see all the sense remnants yourself, resulting in less thread clutter,simultaneously answering your own question. I was trying to inform you in my second post. And please do not disrespect me by asking me to shut up. I do not disrespect anyone here on xda nor will i ever, and i expect the same treatment in return. I am here to help,learn,and contribute. Sorry you took offense. I guess i just dont ask others for answers that are readily available to myself. I would apologize but you offended me. please do not reply here again, as your response will be ignored by me. apologies to readers for momentary thread jack.......now, back to topic.....

I noticed what you did when i looked. Just wondering, were you unhappy with your evo when you got it? or did you just make a new rom to give everyone another choice of rom? or maybe even your personal, like i do sometimes? Just curious.....
@ops. I never spoke ill of your work, jic you took it that way, im not that guy. I appreciate any contributions to the community and have spent months of my own time staying up finishing up things ive been working to complete my self in order to ul and share with the community. Needless to say, I KNOW WHERE YOURE COMING FROM. When i can give us a new choice of rom or theme i too will begin work.....

[Query] CM5 8 based sense rom

No longer doing this here. This is to be deleted by moderator, i would suggest an administrator making a post on the front page about forum etiquette.

-Wrong section
-There are plenty of Sense-like Themes for cm5. Add Facebook, Twitter, Some Sense clock widget, Skinned ADW.Launcher/Launcher pro, et voilà.
-Again: Wrong section
It's very hard, if not impossible, to implent the Sense apps into AOSP ROMs.
Its not the wrong section im trying to gauge if i should bother developing a custom android rom. And that didn't really answer my question. Is it possible to bring sense and all it required apks and libraries over to CM5, if this is the wrong section could a moderator move me to the right one
Ok i assumed as much, but it could be done with a lot of work right? i think everyone would agree that it would finally make sense usable on the Dream / MT3G. Overclock to 687mhz kernel bit of comcache bit of JIT, dithering, zipaligning and stipping away of some of the crap that is included in sense roms and you're away!

Well it will be using the sense apks for the most part, does sense have a custom settings menu?
Since CM 5 series is android 2.1, make an Sense 2.1 ROM. I would recommend using the Droid Eris 2.1 dump since I am running KingKlick's DroidEris2G1 and that thing is the fastest, smoothest Sense 2.1 build that I have run.

I have always liked sense, but have never liked how 'sluggish' it runs in comparison to other android roms since it comes with some extra baggage i.e. Rosie. But if you can make this happen, I'll be quite excited and will probably try it out..so...all the best!

Does Camera work on KingKlick's DroidEris2G1?
allow me to comment: if you take cm5 and replace the apk's and frameworks, you will run into several problems:
1. it'll be too big for g1, without using mtd mods...
2. you'll essentially end up pushing everything from a sense rom into different folders (bin, lib, etc) in order to even get stuff working
3. it'll basically turn into a sense rom with a cm kernel... which already exists. LOL
4. you'll have to learn smali, which is confusing as you-know-what
HAVE FUN!!!

[Thinktank] Developing some AOSP roms!

I'm surprised that there haven't been any AOSP roms yet. Sense uses up a lot of ram and memory, AOSP roms would definitely make this phone beastlier.
Besides noxtel and teamsilence, do we even have any other developers? Pretty sad because this is such a good device.

I agree with you dude this phone is a beast and with some stock roms and quality kernals this phone could be the best one on the market (as of this moment) just give it some time.

btw if you just looking for a stock AOSP rom I ported it for my mt4g :/ I just did it for my personal use so I added the custom things that I like but I don't really have the time to trouble shoot it or add other peoples custom things to it.... but if you want it let me know and Ill shoot it over

I didin't really know what AOSP was cept an acronym for android open source project...but now that you have explained to me that it is just anothe way of referring to vanilla builds or whatever, that makes a lot more sense to me.... I don't think I am looking or an AOSP though... cuz I like the friendstream widget, and the news widget...cuz it vastly entertains me to browse status updates and what not from a home screen rather then having to go to a site or open an application...or pay for a widget that mirrors a widget I have for free... naawww mean????? So I don't really know but ...I? Like? Sense?..

lmao im not gonna lie... i always preferred sense... that is until 2.2... that really stepped it up in my opinion, when I used my nexus one I always said it would be great if we could mash the 2... For example I like the aosp gallery but like the sense widgets (I guess I'm just a sucker for animations lol)... I built an aosp rom for myself a few weeks back but missed sense so went back to work on my tmo sense... now that I changed my status icons, changed recent apps in the status bar to be like the vibrants status bar and and changed the myfav's quick launch button changed I think I'm finally content in keeping it this way... or at least for the rest of the day lmao

i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

cm7 for incredible s is on the way. i think, it will complete for desire s in 1 month too.

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

for hardware?
i'm waiting for aosp too
Hmm... It is pretty great piece of hardware but Sense is great IMO (and no, I'm not an HTC employee )

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense
I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!

New Cyanogen Maintainer

Max Krivonos (Scepterr on XDA) has updated a old "Amaze is now amazing" post of his on Google+.
https://plus.google.com/106544349933037831956/posts/1SMW3eVKk1d
Max is the current maintainer for the Amaze and MT4G-Slide for CM9. He's had a number of small updates yesterday and today alone.
I'm quite optimistic with Max, I'm sure this will be a usable build before long.
Anyone else excited? I have been dying to run a AOSP rom on my phone since release of the device.

I found this in the htc amaze general section. If this holds true kornyone is no longer our maintainer. Just thought i would pass this on.

Kornyone is going through a row of personal issues, so he doesn't have much time for devving. Whomever works on our device doesn't matter much to me, I just hope we don't get left behind.

I know that. This was just a basic announcement saying "Hey guys, we got a new maintainer" thats all.
so who is our new maintainer

Read the first post.
Also, it's about time! Kornyone's work was amazing (especially since it happened relatively early-on), but he's gone dark on us for a while and is plagued with personal issues. Maybe now our phones can function the way they're supposed to.
that is both good and bad news for me.
anyway, many thanks to Kornyone for the work he has done and good luck with his personal issues (i lurk his google+ and can fully understand why he has really no time for developing anymore)

I just hope to god that wasn't a typo >_<
This is great news. Once it's stable, people will have a great ICS base to work off of when making ROMs.
Over on the CM7 thread there is a post with a screen shot of Max's G+ stating that he is not taking on the MT4GS.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement.

Just saw that. It looks like we're never getting CM on our devices.

It was a mistake, I thought he was, must have just been my mind playing tricks on me, and assuming something I THOUGHT I read months ago was accurate, I'll edit the post referenced, sorry to burst your bubble guys.
We need a new developer for this device. We need CM.

I don't understand the issues :3 Where going to have CM9. If you've noticed, CM9 hasn't been officaly released(Only 3, 4 devices on the mirror). Many phones lack the proper files to make the camera work. There's so many issues, there's just a lot of KANGs. We could have CM9 now, but there's no working camera with AOSP ICS. Otherwise TB would have had a AOSP/AOKP/CM9.

The issue is that we could have at least had CM 7.0.3 by now instead of AOSP-like ROMs still built on the memory- and power-consuming Sense framework.

Its not the sense framework that is a memory hog. Its all the system apps like sense widgets. Rosie launcher. Added bloatware. Etc etc. If you remove those memory hogs and use the sense framework it would do as well if not better then aosp. I ran undeads RubiX ICS and it had sense framework. But it was super stable and battery lasted crazy long. Sense framework also keeps the ability to use the sense camera. There are way more pros then cons.

You mean to tell me that nobody has the know-how to reverse engineer the drivers on this thing?

I have the knowledge. But im all bout the money. Development of android shows no return for time invested. Long story short i dont want to dev unless the donations are guaranteed. I got my kernel code for cm7 up on my git for the most part. But i still have some "Unfinished Business" to attend to before making my git public for others to "Kang" from. There is still that nasty battery drain bug. Im going to put a second git together with a full device tree for doubleshot so other devs can put together better Aosp Roms. In the mean time I will compile cm7 from the htc glaciers git and merge it with doubleshot. Luckily the doubleshot has all the needed GB Drivers. Libs. Binaries. Etc etc to make it fully functioning direct from htc.

DHD took 100's of hours to get a camera driver. Its understandable that you'd want money. I'm sure if you could prove to the community your good (your CM7/AOSP Gethub). We'd start up a bounty thread.

Yes but that means doing the work first (With zero guarantee) of return. The kernel source was super simple. I dont want anything for that git. But building a complete device tree your talking hundreds of hours as you stated. I will see what can be done.

I second a bounty thread with a PayPal donation link. Devs should be compensated for their work.
