Hi, I recently have been so obsessed with the espresso and sense integration on the mytouch 3g slide. The bubble icons and all of those different customizations are great! Nobody has created a Rom of this for the nexus one? I would actually trade my nexus for it if it had a 3.7 inch screen and not a 3.4. A major difference to me.
Prob one will be out once code for froyo drops! It's getting the update to froyo in a few weeks!
I just bought my girl the Slide to replace her G1 and I have to say I really do like the UI and features, if it came to the Nexus, I'd probably use it.
Espresso ROM here for N1: http://thedroidsector.com/roms?id=57

Espresso you mean?
Kingklick did one back in Feburay. It's not bad actually. Maybe you can bug him to pick it back up and finish it since its still in beta he says. I think he stopped on it because the Desire was more "in" and demanded more than Espresso.

I don't care for the Sense UI but it looks much better than the Hero/Desire Sense UI.

The Espresso ROM you guys keep posting is not the one that HTC specially customized for the Slide. I haven't tested it myself, but I am a sure it isn't - I believe it is that one that was leaked forever ago. Also if it was it, King would have titled Slide2Nexus or something similar. I don't even believe the Slide was announced then.
Therefore it isn't really what the OP is looking for.
hey
thanks for yall help. and thats right... i am not going to flash an alpha and probably isnt the my touch slide expresso UI.. scared to brick or something and imma just keep running the froyo rom from modaco

OP asked for Espresso Rom, it was provided, sorry for trying to assist. He didn't ask for the Slide Espresso, just stated he likes it and wanted an Espresso Rom.
King didn't title it Slide2Nexus probably because the rom was leaked from a phone of unknown origin and name. So it became Espresso2Nexus instead. Maybe he should of called it Unknown2Nexus instead?
HTC myTouch Slide codename is Espresso... wonder if that means anything. As far as I know, no other phone officially runs the Espresso UI. So its safe to say (I think) that it came from an early developed myTouch Slide.
Kings Espresso rom looks and acts just like the myTouch Slide with a few apps missing. It has the pretty bubbles around the icons and a sleek looking launcher. It's been months since I ran it but from the reviews of the MTS, it looks the same.
When it's time I could see a 2.2 Expresso ROM in the future for the N1. I can't wait!

when I used HTC Magic, once I flashed an Espresso Rom, it was fancy especially its dialer and contacts. But that rom was buggy. But now switching to N1, I really hop to use Espresso even it is buggy. Hope someone could cook one for us haha
Has this ROM been abandoned?
No updates in a while.
I too have a girlfriend with the mytouch and love hte sense ui its packin.
ESPECIALLY the lock-screen music controls!!
IS it possible to get the old flip clock that actually flips back in any of these ROMS? I am currently using Cyanogen froyo blue. My apologies if this is the wrong forum for this topic.
Sorry, just saw the question warning at the top when I refreshed...been a while guys.
Yea download an older version of fancywidget. Not gonna post it because if I recall correctly the mods will just pull it off anyway.
PM me and I'll send you a link, seeing as the app was free when it was on the market. And yes.. this is in the wrong forum
(mods if I'm wrong lemme know )
Or, get beautiful widgets. Not a battery hog and it does what the stock clock does and more. There are a ton of skins and some that look like the stock clock.
I guess my only question is do you really stare at your main screen for that long that you watch the minutes flip by?

i don't think any clock actually flips on the hero. i remember seeing it on winmo/sense last. i think it had to do with a slow gpu on the hero.

Weather & Toggle widget with the H7C mods (one for clock and one for weather) looks exactly like the HTC one. Used it when I was running CM6, battery life is great with it also, never had an issue.
Thanks guy for all the help, and yes...I love to watch em' flip. So there is no way of taking that old code from a g1 ROM and slapping it into one of the current hero ROMs? Just dloaded fancy and it didn't flip either. It was signed 2010 so I guess he is still updating it, looking for a previous version now.

I am not super impressed with Sense 3.0. I was using Launcher Pro on my HD2 (CM7) and really liked how much I could customize the screens. With S3.0 it seems like icons are spaced too far apart and customizing is really weak. I tried Launcher Pro on the Sensation but it stuttered too much (!?). Then..........
I tried SPB Shell 3D and WOW!!!! Took the plunge paying the $15 and don't regret it one bit! It is running smooth and it looks fantastic! Adding SwipePad (adding MorePads and WidgetPad - totally worth it!) and this machine is unbelievable. Shell 3D really takes advantage of the horsepower that the Sensation has and makes for an insanely nice user experience.
Has anyone else tried Shell 3D on it?
Update: Darn, sorry, there is a thread just a few below mine that discusses Sense 3.0. I looked but didn't see it earlier! Mod, you can delete this or move it to the other thread if you want.
I've been using Launcher Pro on all my android devices but Sense 3.0 has been the first stock UI that I've really liked. The HTC widgets are pretty cool too. I've ditched Tweetdeck in favor for Friendstream too.
Sense 3.0 is great IMO, I'm liking the new rosie launcher quite a bit.
I have used LauncherPro for a long, long time and I honestly like sense a lot, I'm just so sick of seeing the loading screen and/or the white HTC screen when I hit the home key. Is this happening to anyone else as well?

I get this if i use another launcher and switch back to Sense. But if Sense is loaded and pressing the home key u should only get the popup of what launcher to use if u haven't set a default one.
Im referring to a Sense ROM but Im guessing its not possible, though Ive seen some ppl use LauncherPro+ and they get look a like sense widgets and the dock bar (Rosie) at the bottom just like the actual sense looks. Can someone confirm this being possible?? Thnx

yea, its called launcher pro sense, its in the market. ive used it, even has a few more functions than the stock sense ive used...

I am also using pro+ it is damn good
Does it lag? Freeze? Or anything like that or is it smooth enough to use daily? Right now I have an Evo and will be switching to an Infuse later next week (probably) thats why Im so concerned but thanx to all for ur quick replies

i came from inspire 4g with leedroid.
i used to think htc is fast untill i tried infuse.
there are no lags,FC with launcher pro plus.
though i am not using sense theme. i use just launcher.
it is awesome.
you can scroll taskbar also with it.
it is as fast as sense on inspire 4g

Hey I played with a friends Infuse and installed launcher pro + and the sense skin and it looks great, but can someone tell me how to get the dock (Rosie) at the bottom to look like the sense one instead of the 5 icons?
-Pü3rTøRr0
its def in the settings, jus play around with it, should take like 30 secs... as far as lag, in my experience, none watsoever. imo lp sense is smoother than sense on that evo, but those are from my experiences. probably cuz our phones are faster than the evo...

Can I ask for an HTC Sense 2.1 rom? I really find the Sense 3.0 rosie a hassle and the carousel, though pretty cool, gets annoying when I need to quickly scroll to a certain homescreen. Also I prefer the smooth basic screen transitions of Sense 2.1 as opposed to the 3D effect transition on Sense 3.0 roms.
Actually, IMO, the best rom would be an HTC Sense 2.1 with Sense 3.0 features (lockscreen mainly) fusion. Can anyone make it happen? (aka Undeadk9)
FOR A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT I'M SAYING, here's a Tmobile G2/HTC Desire Z running an HTC 2.1 base+3.0 rom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ-kNW-nGFA
Ummm no. Sense 3.0 is so much better. No dev would do that. It's not something a large group of people would use.

You're right but I just want to make sure: Is it possible to downgrade our MT4GS's Sense 3.0 to Sense 2.1? If so, how? (I'd like to design a custom rom myself )
You would need to find a phone compatible with our device. I'm thinking the MT4G or Desire HD and port it to Doubleshot.

From my developmental tests from Sense 2.1- Sense 3.0 on the HTC HD2 and Desire HD,
I realized that it's possible to port the Sense 3.0 rosie to a Sense 2.1 rom. I'm wondering if it's possible to port the Sense 2.1 rosie to our MT4GS's Sense 3.0?
Sense 2.1 sucks compared to 3.0 use undead sensless rom u wont be dissapointent

I could probably do that, but I only make ROMS I intend on using, I'm pretty busy with school and work, but If I have a free weekend I might give it a try. However I don't think it would be worth it, a lot of features would be cut, since I wouldn't spend time optimizing it for the MT4GS, just the basic 2.1 ROM.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it alot man. And I know what you mean about busy. 5 AP classes + a job leaves very little free time, let alone the fact that you have other stuff to do. But if you could get the basic Sense 2.1 rosie and perhaps provide me tips on how to implement the widgets (especially the clock widget, it's basically the trademark of Sense haha), that would be all I'd need.
Also, couldn't you literally just replace the Rosie from a MyTouch4g/DesireHD sense 2.1 rom, as well as the other htc widgets as Seo did to bring a Sense 3.0 port to Sense 2.1 roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062962
The reason I want this is simply because I hate the carousel of Sense 3.0 (it still lags occasionally), but love the widgets.
I simply don't like the features of LPP or ADW because, in those launchers I can't use Sense widgets...

You're right I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot sometime later. Too lazy to s-off and sort it out. I just hate the 3d flip animation, I like the smooth screen transitions that were on the older Sense rosies.
I'm still contemplating whether I want this phone or return and exchange for a Sensation. Of course either way, it's Sense 3.0 carousel.

KEEP IT. The Sensation is a piece of crap, I worked for T-Mobile and we have returns on them more than anything. They overheat, the touchscreen is highly unresponsive, and the screens look mediocre... Even after installing custom ROMs they still have issues.

Yea, but there's so many devs for the Sensation, I wish our MT4GS had more...
Oh and btw, those devs just ported over the HTC Amaze 4G's (aka MT4GS's) camera to their Sensations. WOOW is all I can say.
Plus, with the second coming of smartphones in the HTC Amaze and SGSII, there'll be even less reason for future devs to work on this phone.
Gotta admit though that I like the hardware keyboard as an additional option for typing. It may be crappy compared to the G2, but I've never used a slider-phone before.
And, I hate the designs of the Amaze and GSII, they're even more curvy than the MT4GS and Sensation, lol.
Sorry...to get back on topic, Undeadk9, would it be much simpler to port the Sense 2.1 rosie over onto a Sense 3.0 rom? Rather than modding an entire rom? And is it as easy as I think it is?

I agree. Keep the phone. Plus this cpu is meant to clock at 1.5ghz. The sensations is right where its suppose to be. Plus this device has a way better processor. And the keyboard is a huge plus.

In another phone, you can just trick Rosie into thinking it's running on a Sense 2.1 device and it will run in 2.1 mode. However, I don't think it's possible with the native MT4GS Rosie since it's specifically compiled for us/TMO. I could be wrong though, worth decompiling it and taking a look at it.
I wouldn't run Sense 2.1 though. That's boring.
Or maybe you could exchange it for a desire hd or mytouch 4g since you're looking for older software. there's not going to be a whole lot of demand for older software on a newer device unfortunately.

That's exactly what I don't want, as you can see the MT4GS is SUPERIOR to those devices. But I really prefer the simplicity of the old sense, and combined with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, it would be 1000000x faster + no lag. Why would I want to go back to the "Stone Age" so to speak?
Really and truly it's the carousel that bothers me, if I didn't have to deal with the carousel on Sense 3, it would be just fine.
And let's just put it this way: Sense 2.1 is exactly what Sense 3.0 is WITHOUT the carousel. So for those of you who don't prefer the carousel, this is what you want. Of course there's the lockscreen, but I'm talking purely on the basis of the rosies.
Sorry for the double post, my previous one was loaded.
I'll just say that Ima try and put one together myself.
I also posted a video on what I mean by Sense 2.1+3.0. (Check first post)
I also posted a poll to gather the opinion of users in this forum.
If there are too many No's, then I will stop this thread from further discussion.
So you just want the sense 2.1 interface but with sense 3.0 basically. Why don't you try a new launcher?

All of this nonsense because you dislike the 3.0 carousel? Im sorry but you have lost your mind. And your to lazy to s off? Its a 5 min process Thats completely automated and pain free. But yet you want to design a rom which could take days maybe weeks? All Im seeing is a huge lack of common sense.
