HTC Sense Port for SNS? (Nexus S)

Do you think that Sense will ever be able to be ported to the Nexus S when it releases its Gingerbread update?
I know that the Galaxy S never managed to see Sense on it, but it would be sure nice to have that option I also know this would be a difficult port as it would involve an inter manufacturer jump. I think it was easier to put sense on the n1 due to it being an HTC phone I dont think i will feel the same need for TouchWiz on the Nexus S somehow

No idea. Just out of curiosity, WHY???

I for one would love to see SENSE on the NS ans SGS phones.

Sense is closed-source, meaning it would be illegal to port it. And because we're on the Internet, it will be done anyway.

Because something is closed source doesn't make it illegal to port. The problem is that Sense is a copyright work of HTC and therefore it's up to HTC whether or not third-parties are allowed to redistribute it, at present no.
However that still doesn't mean porting Sense is illegal. If you own a HTC Desire HD, dump the firmware, modify it to run on another device you own then that's perfectly legal. However, I'm not sure about the actual legalities of duplicating the firmware. You may be forced to remove the firmware from your HTC device so that you haven't created two copies. It really depends on what HTC's license says, assuming they even thought to include one.

Can anybody make a sense rom?
To work on nexus S....Pls just for kicks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I'm sure one will be released at some point. Sense has an aesthetically pleasing UI that a lot of android users find attractive. Seeing as the Nexus S was just released, however, just have to wait and be patient. I think that the openness of this device, coupled with it's "pure google" experience, will attract a lot of devs and a lot of customization options.

I think the N1 got the Sense ROMs only because it was easy to port it from the nearly identical HTC Desire device.
I'm not sure it will be that easy to do on the Samsung HW.
Does the SGS have such ROM? If so, then surly we'll be seeing one for NS soon.

Tango was updated today to support the Nexus S
And I only looked at this thread thinking it was a joke. You mean someone would seriously want to take a great phone and crap it up with Sense???? I don't understand that at all!

I though people stopped making sense ROMs because HTC didnt quite like that copyright infringment.
thats why the CM rom on the Evo doesnt have it

htc inspire ported to htc evo

Is their any progress on the port?

Why not just use one of the other sense 2.0 ports, its the same damn thing....

I was excited about this for a second, until I realized it was running Froyo...
Seriously, Gingerbread source has been out forever now...when are carriers actually going to start using it?

It takes forever to test ALL the custom crap Manufacturers and Carriers add on top of Android. Sense, Sprint Apps, etc.
So much easier if they used just the source (hence how quick you have the Nexus series).

there already r a few Desire HD ports, Calukin, SAC ect... the Desire HD is the same exact device as the At&t Inspire, XDA mods were even thinking about merging the 2 sub forums because they are identical
wrong section anyway, should be in Q&A
mods please move or close

hey amigo it ok whit out 4g but keep it stock mabe some one will help us whit the 4g later got bless

aight got it booting sound cams everythign seems to be working good give me a few and i will upload !!! i had to go to the beach today to look at some houses so i didn't have time to do the port but it will be uploaded by tonight thats a promise

Wifi, accelerometer , bluetooth, and locations are working too now

Why is there such a lack of roms

I have an evo and my ns4g and I'm just curious as to why there is such a lack of roms for nexus s 4g. There's tons of roms for evo but very few for ns4g. Dev support Is great quick to fix issues but little variety. Or is there somewhere I'm not looking because I've searched endlessly here and on Google and androidforum but I only find a couple of roms

People who make ROMs for other phones generally want an AOSP experience, which we as Nexus owners have out of the box.
What are you looking for in a ROM that your not finding exactly?

Uh wut? Nexus ICS alphas have been floating around for weeks.
The evo is always going to have more roms available at any given time, since there's a ton of devs working on that phone... And more options because of Sense.

First of all the things we have are sdk ports so they don't count. Second I would rather have a rom with half busted stuff than nothing like we do now. Wahh it sucks.

I don't think that someone has a decent working ICS right now.
But come on, don't start a ton of new threads just to aks why there's no ics. I know it's exciting but after all it's just ICS xD
And it's just a max. of 1 month waiting time 'till the ota gets out. I would go so far to say that no one of us will die from waiting

Max one month is a huge overstatement. It will be a miracle on xda street if we get an ota in a month. Mark my words.

I don't know. I just went over to the Evo forum to see what was going on, and they were struggling just to get the sdk port to work.

Give a shot of this LG camera mod:

It should work with either 2.3.3 or CM7 as well.
Make a backup in CWM just in case, then flash the zip.

as much as I don't want to hijack this thread (even though this thread is almost pointless considering there isn't very many ports off cameras for our phone.) I'm not sure I agree with that one SadPanda... Build quality I prefer HTC they have a good group of devs, including a fully functioning ICS build. I've played with an amaze 4g rooted running a CM7 and compared it to mine (it wasn't overclocked just 1.5) mine was overclocked to 1.4, I think, it might have been up to 1.56... either way just regular use for me and my friend (no games) no big difference at all, if anything the amaze was faster with browser and loading things that required data since it is HSPA+.... next to each other he reaches 18mb down I got 12mb barely. Overall the Amaze is better IMO... I've been trying to sell my G2X for a descent price so I could the Amaze but no one will go for it lol.

Briefly, higher bitrates, better sound sampling and mp4 container. In addition it is working with CM7.

Will this work on an ICS build

They are both great devices, the Amaze may be a better build but thats really only because its newer.
I got bored with it due to the lack of dev and true AOSP. You can only dress up sense 3.6 so much before it puts you to sleep.
