[Q] Port HTC Kingdom (Sense 3.0) Rom To Captivate - Captivate General

O.K., so i know that not that many people would want sense on their phones, but some poeple out there would, especially if its sense 3.0, poeple say that its not that possible , but someone on the forums did, but is an older version of sense ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827769 ) but i think that it would become very popular in the forums, and c'mon, why do htc phones get all of the good roms?! anyways hope someone can port sense 3.0 for the captivate community.

Imo, it's outdated.

3.0 is quite a bit different from 1.0 and 2.0 builds. HTC isn't even going to allow their current phones upgrade to it(that includes Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt). I imagine a 3.0 theme wouldn't be difficult, but a 3.0 ROM might be more trouble than it's worth, considering that Sense is pretty lag-tastic as it is.

One of the biggest issues is that HTC uses alot of closed source drivers and stuff for sense. As for why they get all the good Roms, well HTC is more user freindly then say Samsung or Motorola.

Sense 2.1 on sensation...possible?

Title explains it all really, I'm wondering if its even possible to port sense 2.1 to the sensation.
I like sense 3 and all but its just not stable, I would prefer to have sense 2....I miss my desire hd became of it.
But obviously this phone has many hardware advancements so I wanted to see if it was possible to have sense 2 on it, then its like the best of both worlds
should be possible since its a sense rom but id say a new kernel would be needed?
Possible ? Sure, but I don't think that You'll find a developer which will try to port 2.1 on a device already coming with Sense 3.0.
Sense 2.1 is only build for older devices and not for sensation for evo. 3d

[Q] Sense 3.5

Hello there fellow Xda members, I came across a rom call RCMixRunny that is based on HTC sense 3.5. Although the rom isn't very stable it looks pretty good. This question is for the devs is here any chance that here will be anymore Roms based on sense 3.5 anytime soon?
More than likely. Devs always want the newest and greatest for their roms. Once the bliss's dump is available (it may already be I don't know) I'm sure they will start cranking them out. They just need some type of software(dump) from a sense 3.5 phone (bliss) to port it over.

[Q] Sense 3.5 ota

Is anybody here party to any reliable information regarding an official sense 3.5 ota?
I find 3.5 a nice improvment on 3.0 and would love to get it officially with the minor bugs ironed out that are present in the leaked test release.
Do we think (or know) that this will happen or will we have to wait for a further iteration of sense (4.0?) before we get any official updates.
I get the impression that the dev's are a little quiet at the moment so perhaps some people know things that the rest of us are not party to??
There's talk that as ICS is out early next year HTC won't bother with officially releasing the leaked ROM. However, we may still get Sense 3.5 as there's nothing to suggest we'll get Sense 4.0 when ICS is released
I hope it soon comes....
Find the HTCnotebook as widget so great, it would soon like to have...

I don't think that htc Will leave us atto 2.3.4 till ICS release...
In my opinion the 2.3.5 with sense 3.5 Will arrive (sooner or later)
i think that sense 3.5 comes with ICS
they just devepoped a new sense and they are not going to use it?
well seems not really understandable to me so i would guess
ICS 4.0 with HTC sense 3.5
otherwise it would be (again) a sense 3.0 (or 3.5) based UI with only slight changes and nothing big to show

The fact is that in my opinion htc could't leave One or its top devices with an older software than other devices like htc rhyme or sensation xl

Opinion on Sense 3.5/3.6 on top of ICS

Greetings to all developers and super users, I'm just eager to know what are your opinions on the latest SenseUI on top of ICS.
In my opinion, the Sense 3.5 is just not made for ICS at all. It's just an emergency move made by HTC team to release Sense for ICS. This is due to other platforms which quickly developed their patch ICS upgrade for their devices. I't just an 'emergency landing' for HTC.
In Sense 3.6 they've fixed some minor stuff in 3.5 which doesn't fit well together with the ICS framework. BUt still, how the SenseUI in ICS gave an impression to me is that IT IS NOT WELL CONCEPTED! Not as beautiful as Sense 3.0 in GB compared to other manufaturers' UI.
So I'm just saying that I am really eager to see Sense 4.0 for ICS in the near future.
What say you guys?
if HTC had actually given it a bit more AOSP style to Sense with ICS, then it might be ok....but as it, it actually looks like poop in my honest opinion...hence I now run Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0
True, I think at the moment, Mathias' design concept is more mature than HTC's. But the fact is that many feature in ICS is already adopted since Sense 3.0. So I think that Sense 4.0 will be a blast again
sense is awful... that is just my opinion
I don't mind a little bit of sense (Some comes in handy sometimes) but they basically killed the beauty of ICS with there **** sense overlay. At least color stuff correctly. It looks very hurried and just glued together on htcs part. With that said virtuous Inq took out all the crappy junk that HTC put in and made it great again.
I'm actually considering a move to Virtuous ROM. Because it's the best AOSP so far I saw plus everyone's been using that.
I agreed with the glued part. It is really like just glued in a hurry. Not like the usual SENSEUI..
Yes sense 4.0 will totally change Ics UI....we have to wait some days.
The question is WHEN...
there are some leaks about it.. but not convincing enough...
Just hope it will be epic as ever ^^
sense 3.5/3.6 doesnyt really fit to ics, htc got to rethink their vision of new sense, but first news gives us hope that htc has right direction
on the other hand i can't work without sense, its the most complex launcher and i've tried working without it, but it was pointless, always comming back to sense
Personally,i just want aosp based rom. I hate Sense and always did dating back from my old Wildfire lol.
Using HyperSense CM7 ATM
ok, after I tried using Virtuous 3.0.0, I decided to go back to ARHD.
reason??
Because after using the AOSP based ROM, I realized how Sense made life easier. Although I must say that the AOSP has better design than Sense 3.5/4.6, but there are still some functions which Sense came really handy with.
So mean while, I'm coming back to ARHD ^^
It's insulting. 3.6 is such a minor "upgrade" to 3.5 while 4.0 is a massive upgrade (no quotes) to 2.3.x, putting that ****lick overlay on top of AOSP totally kills it. That, and the gray color scheme introduced in 3.5 is aweful, it's so dull. Sense 3.0 is the last decent Sense.
I agree, actually maybe Sense 3.0 was so great is because it has huge improvement from the previous Sense.
I would love to have ICS stock camera app in htc sense..
i think sense 3.6 is just a quick update to shut all of us up about wanting ICS
after some time we'll get a better sense version...
remember sense 2.1? it was absolutely the same in froyo and gingerbread but when HTC announced the sensation it was rocking sense 3.0 and everyone was drooling over it
While the first pictures and videos of ICS emerged, I told my self "nah, that can't be it. They said they where about to make it look better... "
When ICS was officially announced, I was deeply disappointed, that it really looked as ugly as it did in the leaked versions.
So I'm really enjoying sense 3.6, even if I had hoped for more.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Personally Im not really looking forward to ICS with Sense 3.6. ICS is one thing but IMO Sense 3.6 isnt exactly different from Sense 3. The only thing I like about 3.6 is its camera but it isnt really a make or break decision for me.
If HTC rolls out ICS and Sense 4.0 for Sensation sometime later, I do hope they'll have better camera features (not over Sense 3 of course, even 3.6 camera trumps over 3.0 lol)
But I think Sense 3.6 is a compensation of ICS design. Because the original ICS has no menu button and Sensation has menu button.

[Q] What are the dev communities on HTC phones generally like?

I'm currently debating between this phone and the Galaxy Nexus. A "Sense"-ed phone is completely out of the question for me--I will run only Stock ICS or some other enhanced version--so I'm curious about HTC's history with unlocking bootloaders, issues people have had with other popular HTC phones, and how big everyone expects the dev community specifically for the AT&T One X to be.
Thanks in advance!
The new sense isn't too bad. Even sense 3.5 was much improved and simplified from previous versions. Sense 4 is honestly really well done. Don't base you opinion on the older, slower, and generally bloated versions.
When we get a working recovery compiled the Roms will begin to flow.
