HTC have announced that they will be providing a sense 3 upgrade for the desire s soon anyway, so you won't have to port anything.

Are you sure about that? Source?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, but i haven't seen any official statement from HTC.
And then there's this.

I was wondering if it is possible if any developer(s) could make a htc sense hi port from the desire hd to the droid x
Thank you for your support community,
Regy
Obey the forum rules.
No. HTC Sense needs to have HTC hardware for the framework to run. It is impossible to run Sense on a Motorola device, just as it is impossible to run Blur on an HTC device.
Please look around the forum before asking questions that have been answered tens of thousands of times on XDA.
not always true, there was a blur rom for the HTC Dream/G1 a good while back but it was buggy

Incorrect there are already threads and videos of a Droid/milestone running HTC UI
Funny answers, you got here..
Please, those who doubt, check my signature.....
If i had a DroidX, im sure, i could port it... i did it the other way around actually, but never released a droidx port, as it simply didnt offer anything good, so i went for droid2.
but yes, its for sure possible..
Yes it is possible but it will be very difficult because of the inability to run a sense-compatible kernel due to the signed bootloader

you dont know milestone? we got a locked kernel... so this kernel is in no way near HTC standards (far from it) as we cannot modify it at all.. PSK encryption key protected.
so i can only say... it was piece of cake to use htc sense on milestone... so htc is nothing special, it works great on my milestone.
ps: as i also noted, if i can use droidx/droid2 firmware on my milestone, the one i made for sense port i made for milestone should be easy to adapt to droidx if anyone would care looking into it.. they are having a droid port in place now, so droidx/droid2 here comes senseui soon to a phone nearby..
I am taking this on Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully we will have sense on the droid X, and the Droid 2.

a suggestion/recommendation here would be to maybe look at my Milestone release for MotoFroyoSense, as the phones are pretty similar, except the GKI system + baseband differs..
but thats just a helpful hint

So if sense is portable to the droid x...what about MIUI? <<<<<< I would love this.
Sense 3.5
Is this dead in the water? Looked pretty promising. Just bought my girlfriend the Rhyme. Would LOVE to have 3.5 on my Droid X. I would just buy the Rhyme, but the screen is just a tad too small (3.7) and the plum color isn't suitable for men to carry around. The cradle/dock that comes with it is awesome too.
Hey People and developers! i was wondering if its possible to port meego os to our htc sensation, since meego is based on a linux kernal and i believe its open source. i know not all features would work but if development gets put into this i believe its possible. I hhope to see a developer to try this and i would help in any way possible also htc has released open source sdk(if it helps lol)
Link to a website that shows its possible :

haha good answere, my answere is to see something new, e.g miui > too iphonish , Cm7> stock Aosp, Htc sense roms> tweaks to stock sense etc... meego> something new and interesting
I'd say it's possible...MeeGo is indeed based on Linux and is open source...I'll see if I can get anything going when I get home from holidays
To post #2: MeeGo is actually really good...or at least Nokia's version is. When Nokia first announced the N9, I dreamt of a 4.3 dual core MeeGo phone...if MeeGo could be ported to the Sensation, that would be fantastic!
This would be great. Something else to toy around with and meego definately has potential, just that not as many hardware companies have jumped on board compared to android
I would also like to see meeGo. meeGo is interesting and I would to play with it without buying a new phone.
@EddyOS,
If he had mentioned porting and TouchWiz in the same sentence (uh oh I just did) then yeah he'll probably be in for major flaming.

That's what's going around here now, the slogan of this board before 'prepare for flaming' became fashionable was 'because we can'
Anyway, +1 to see meego running on our phones, I'd love to check it out
I think it will be much more feasible after the n9 is released
Lol wow

Another +1. It looks great on the N8
I noticed a lot of more action few months, weeks ago... why is no more action in here for days now..? no updates, no fixes, except on the miui thread....
or am i seeing things wrong?
If you have any queries, I may be able to answer them.
Bioan, the OP of the [Fixes & FAQ] MIUI ROM 1.11.25 - Check first post, recently sold his HTC Desire S, he probably won't be back in the forseable future.
In general though, there doesn't really seem to be much going on in regards to the development of the Sense software, and we may not see any changes until the first lot of Ice Cream Sandwich builds begin to dock on the scene harbour, but thats just my thoughts, take it with a pinch of salt.
until ICS is out properly, how much more can you do?

true argument, but how about fixing some of the sense 3.5. ROMs? i have found many bugs in the latest releases... dunno, but i think there is a lot of work to be done
Well, think about it that developers have a life and are busy sometimes, developing free roms dont feed them
There will be an update to Shadow Hawk soon [maybe this weekend] been very busy with RL recently
Good news! Looking forward
Well what else do you want?
We already have the latest sense version, we are making good progress with ics..
Just wait till sense 4.0 comes out, then there will be big development again !

Hello people!
I want to share my news with you. There was many threads about release date of Ice Cream Sandwich in last time. Because I am journalist, and also IT-tech in my newspaper - I asked official Polish HTC help desk about release date. They answered me very quickly (2mins).
Here is what I received:
Witaj xxx!
Dziękuję za pytanie odnośnie Ice Cream Sanwich dla modelu Sensation.
Jeżeli informacje zostaną oficjalnie potwierdzone, model ten przejdzie testy pozytywnie, prawdopodobnie Ice Cream Sandwich pojawi się pod koniec lutego.

and this can be translated like this:
Hello xxx!
Thank you for question about Ice Cream Sandwich for Sensation.
If informations will be officialy confirmed, and this model will pass all tests positive - propably Ice Cream Sandwich will be released at the end of February.

I hope that u understand my poor english. To confirm what I'am talking about - screen from inbox.

The special thing about it is once it's released the source code should be released which woudl give the devs the base for AOSP
Yet another topic with unfounded speculations on the ICS releasedate. Can't we just stop these useless discussions and just wait for it?

No worries. This is the whole purpose of a general sensation forum; so.that users can discuss any topic about the sensation. People can chose not to read or participate in the discussion.
I myself am happy with the current leak, so while I am hopeful that your information is correct, I won't be upset or disappointed if it is not.
Hmmm..The end of February for Poland , and most likely it is not the first Country/Region to receive the FOTA ,i think ICS update is getting so close .
not so fast there...

trust me, everyone does not like it. it is a resource hog and you can not customize the size of widgets which sucks. i use launcher pro. however, people who like htc do buy their phones because of the way sense is integrated with android. to each his own.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing the info, hope you're right.

Sense UI is what distinguishes HTC androids from other androids. If one doesnt like the Sense UI why buy an HTC phone? Buy a Samsung, SE, Motorola etc!
As a long time n1 user in addition to the senny, I will say that it will get here when it gets here.

I don't believe that information, but I have nothing against to be positively surprised by HTC Hope that Mike1986 or Steve0007 will be able to make even better ROMs then.
it seems every single day at the moment there is a new rom in the dev section, having a sensation seems to be finally paying off.
Theres nothing really new, just sense 3.x with practically nothing extra, IMHO. Only seen 1 AOSP ROM (yikes)
Glad you're more optimistic then me lol

Apart from the new MIUI rom...everything has been the same.
Im only waiting for the sources from htc then sense will be so great
no need for aosp
It's as Awesome as it has always been! Hang out in the Development section with our talented chefs for a while..you'll get the real picture!!
I think once source is out its going to get way better. I can't wait for official cm9 and virtuous Quattro.

There's more than just Sense 3.x. There's plenty of Sense 4 ROMs now too which are very nice indeed
Ok I am I missing something or has every post in this thread missed something? Development is not just making custom ROMs. Don't get me wrong custom ROMs are great but with Qualcomm releasing the driver binaries for the Adreno 2xx Snapdragon processors., and the work being done on making the Sensation unbrickable. The Sensation is on the path to be a very valuable development device which means it is going to be open to loads of development. I would even dare say it has a capability to reach some of the level of development that the HD2 has. The driver binaries is enough on it's own as it opens up the possibility of custom bootloaders and booting of different OS's on the Sensation, I mean we do have S-off, and a official unlock from HTC Dev. Either one of these can be compared to HSPL for the HD2, without it non of the thing achieved on the HD2 would have every happened. Then you have the unbrickable work being done, this will make developers really want it because they know they have somewhat of a earth net and can revive the Sensation if they make a mistake and have to revive it. Even the legendary HD2 has never reached this status......

HD2 is capable of WM, WP, Android, Ubuntu....far more than just Android on the Sensation. But I can see your point.

Yeah this is why I said some of the level of development. The HD2 can boot almost OS thrown at it. But I do see a real possibility of custom booloaders for the Sensation. And when you have a custom bootloader the next step is booting different OS's.
Go take a look at the G2x dev forum. Wow. Its empty.

Even if they do I can't see a port happening, like the Nexus One and Desire have the same chip as the Mozart, HD7 and a few others IIRC but those two haven't had ports AFAIK.

You mean natively (as in booting straight to Ubuntu) or within Android? I use BackTrack 5 in Android, it was a fun ride but I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 anyway so meh. If its native though, that would be awesome.
Also to the guy that I didn't feel like quoting who mentioned that multiple OSes on the Sensation in his mild rant; we would barely even have much of a chance to do such a thing. The closest we could do is Boot 2 Gecko, since the drivers are pretty much cross compatible. The Galaxy S II has it.
