What are the chances of porting the new version of Sense in the Evo 3D to the Inspire 4G?
Its sense 2.0, which is the version we have on our Inspires already

No its not. It's a new sense 2.2 (2.1 is gingerbread with the settings in the notification bar and 2.0 is the one on the Desire Z/HD/Inspire) with the new spinning carousel and some new cool lockscreen.

im not so sure, i think this will be exclusive to 3d phones , doesnt mean it wont be ported but i doubt we will see this on our inspire 4g stright from htc, im not too fond of the carrousel i think its just flashy and it adds nothing, now what i really is that new lockscreen
Btw will the gingerbread version we'll get have the settings tab in the notification bar? does the leaked desire hd rom has it?

I think it looks nice. I have absolutely no interest in updates from HTC, I'm talking about what the devs here can throw together. I've tried the Gingerbread Sense and don't mind the settings tab in the notification area, just can't see that much of an improvement over the 2.2 Sense. A bit more eye candy might swing me though .

So I've been seein the EVO 3D, and I really like its new sense ui. You can change the lockscreen with weather and when you slide through the screens there is a new carasel look and more. I am just wondering two things. 1. Is there any way to get that Sense ported over to our Inspire's? 2. If we can't, do you think that the Inspire will ever get that update?

This update is in fact coming to devices with Sense. It's going to the HTC Evo-3D first though. It's kind of to showcase it. Hit Google. There are articles everywhere for it.
As long as it isn't as intrusive as the current sense...

I actually prefer it to vanilla Android. I ran cm for a day and flashed design gears Rom back over it. I have great battery life so far, so it really doesn't bother me. I feel almost "privileged" to have it since I own an HTC device.
You really can't beat the dialer, messaging app and keyboard. I know there are skins to out on other keyboards but I can't get the same performance as I can the built in HTC keyboard.
Plus I'm a huge sucker for the clock....

I love sense as well, but mainly I was refering to it hogging ram and cpu. I am sure there are ways they can optimize it better.
After seeing your screen shot in the other thread I'm flashing a gb Rom back. Killer battery life governs.

I may be weird, but I really dislike the new 3d animations and static wallpaper on sense 3.0. I really loved the virtuous rom though,...
Is there any good roms still using sense 2.1?
Or is there any way to strip the 3d animations etc out?

I'd recommend ClearDroid. Version 1.1.21 was nearly perfect. I only switched to VU for my NetFlix.

I hear good things about Inspired Ace.
I was in the same boat; I tried VU and loved the sense 3.0 weather and lockscreen, but didn't particularly like the 3d animation between screens. I installed Android Revolution (sense 2.1) instead, and just chose the sense 3.0 components that I wanted, and just installed those as mods.

I have my eye on it, for now I flashed Lee Droid with 3.0 lockscreen and weather. I'm happy.
Thanks for all the suggestions... I hope that the future of our community isn't sense 3.0... It just doesn't feel right to me. The animations are kind of cheesy and get in the way of basic functionality.

I like the espresso sense found on the new mytouches, but I love everything else about the sensation. are there any themes, etc that I could use ? Like a doubleshot port?

I have a friend that got the MT4G, and all I noticed was colors and graphics were different. I assumed that because they were both using Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread that they were pretty much the same. Is there something specific you like more about it?

The mytouch 4g does not run sense 3.0, it is 2.1. The mytouch 4g slide, on the other hand, does, but the espresso version it runs has no lock screen short cuts and the Rosie dock has three customizable slots for apps of your choice much like the HTC Flyer's sense does. They are essentially custom ui's on top of sense which is a custom Android ui.

So I'm doing some research on my next phone (currently rocking a Droid Incredible 1) and it will either be the HTC Vigor or the Nexus Prime. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime, but I love Sense, so I just want to make sure that there are people out there who create Sense based ROMs for the Nexus devices.
So are there any stable Sense based ROMs for the Nexus S?
No sense no thanks. You buy a nexus for the AOSP experience. If you want sense buy a htc phone.

Sense based rom ran into some hurdles, plus it's harder cuz unlike the nexus 1 it doesn't share the same hardware as an HTC phone...
For the Prime, we'd have to wait for a similar phone running ics, gingerbread might not run too well on it...

Ahh this makes the decision so much more difficult. I was pretty much set on getting the Prime because I figured it'd be an easy swap to put a custom sense ROM on it.
I really want to have the latest and greatest (ICS), but I also love my sense features (lockscreen, beautiful widgets, beautiful animations, etc)
what to do, what to do....
Yeah Rem3Dy said it all, but to throw my 2 cents in.
If you want a phone running Sense you should stick to HTC phones that come pre loaded with it. Ports can be cool, but it's hard to rely on them everyday as a daily driver they all tend to have their issues. From what I was hearing before leaving the EVO 4G forums, HTC should be developing a web app for consumers to unlock boot loaders in the future, so you shouldn't have to wait for exploits to enjoy root privileges on future phones.
Now if you want a pure Google Experience device then you should look into the Nexus line of phones. This is the way Google envisions Android and in my opinion, it's the best way to enjoy it. The Nexus line always has the latest and greatest with software updates direct from Google. This means when new versions are released we don't have to wait for manufacturers to upgrade their UI to to work with the current version of Android, no wondering when or if our device will ever even get the upgrade.
So if Sense is a deal breaker for you, you should probably stick with HTC. If you're intrigues by the Nexus Prime, wait till it hits stores and go check one out, I doubt you'll be let down.

When ics comes out you are going to lose alot of sense features. Look at honeycomb for example

Sense sucks balls, big time. It was the reason I rooted and flashed aosp on my Evo. Most htc owners try to get away from sense, and you want to install it on a Nexus??
However we like SEnse or not (I don't personaly, and sure thing is if you have a Nexus "something" is for experiencing the pure Android), it has been said several times by several great devs that it won't be possible to port any Sense like launcher on the NS.....
You can always install Launcher Pro Plus which has very similar widgets to HTC Sense. ADW is another popular launcher as well.
It's not just the widgets, but the sense 3.0 lock screen is one of my favorites!

There's a lock screen app called Agile Lock, which looks exactly like the HTC lock screen with the exact same functions as well.
You can pretty much find all things HTC in the market!

The HTC Ville has been caught on video ahead of its expected MWC 2012 debut, showing off both its slimline form-factor as well as a glimpse of HTC Sense 4.0. According to the Android 4.0 smartphone’s hardware info page, it runs a 1.5GHz dualcore processor with 1GB of RAM and a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen. There’s also WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and an 8-megapixel main camera.

Look nice.
I'm sure there will be some ports soon
I'm wondering if they will release an official ICS and Sense 4.0 for Desire S.

I hope so or let's say, I wish. And if they do, I'm curious if the 50 gigs of Dropbox space will be available for us.
Am i the only one who thinks this is bad? I like the animations, and the new filp clock, horizontal app drawer is nice too. But i HATE the grey colour scheme. It's in the 3.5 app drawer, i always switch to transparent app drawer. Now, it's on the lockscreen shortcuts, dock, notification panel, menus in short everywhere !! The settings menu has an ugly tint of white. The bottom part of the lockscreen is gone (the arc where the ring was). I hope it's an early build and they change stuff........
PS - Comparing this to Sense 3.6 in the Sensation thread, i think Sense 3.6 is better.

I must say i agree with you shrome...
It doesn't look like too much of an improvement. I like stock ICS better that the Sense 4.0 in the leaked video. And overall, i still think Sense 3.5 is the best looking UI, followed closely by stock ICS.
Isn't the grey color because of the camera with which the leak was recorded?

yeah i agree with this too,the grey looks very bad but i like every thing else except maybe the bottom bar...but i remember that when sense 3.5 i had the same bad feeling because of the crappy leaked screenshots...lets hope sense 4.0 looks better on the device
one thing i didnt understand is inclusion of capacitive buttons,why did HTC include this on a device launching with ICS? if they didnt include the buttons they could have used that screen space for apps & browsing..
Do you think that the HTC Sensation XE ICS ROM would make a better port for things like getting the camera working properly in roms such as Quattro?
go to phandroid for an article about this (I'm still technically a new member despite reading xda for years now lol, need to do more posts to get full privileges)
"Early this year" is a bit rough, not sure whether HTC will release it in Q1 but would be good to have a few HTC ICS ROMs for devs to pull things from to get all features working
Id be happy to get 3.6 on my DS already lol, will keep me busy till v4
Any plans to port it over to DS from Sensation?

Nope. As I read from pocketnow, (I can't remember the source) HTC have given a new aporoach and decided to ditch the dark black theme for this new grey theme now.

Nope. That's why Endymion and other ROMs run really well with no major inconsistent size issues.
Yeah, those ports were based on the original Sensation. Also, there was only 1 port for us, Virtuous. It required a lot of time to resize, and it wasn't as perfectly done as having it in ready format, straight from htc. remember there were so many bugs? Inconsistent widget sizes etc. There's no more point wasting effort trying to perfect the qHD port. might aswell wait for the XL ICS.

I actually quite like it. It seems to have a much cleaner look than previous versions which I felt were too bloated. I guess we'll see if sense remains king of bloat
