Sense mixed with AOSP? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys i recently flashed a gingeresense rom because i love sense but sadly it just cant compare to the speed of aosp roms. My question is, would it be possible to mod an aosp rom to have sense 3.0 lockscreen and have the htc keyboard. If not does anyone know of apps i could download to get this effect? Also, if it helps, im on a phone with an mdpi display.

heres the link to dl the keyboard... its only a bit glitchy

oh i almost forgot-rename it and put .apk on the end

Not possible, same reason TW won't come to HTC phones.
Even if it were, there's no dev out there doing the porting work anyways.
Drivers and everything else are completely different so it would be a hard task.
(this question has been asked quite a few times)
it is possible, as raver said before in other threads, but it would cause a lot of unnecessary problems. it is just easier in the long run to avoid it all together
could do it given time since i dont own eather device so id have to port from a device i never deved on to a device i deved on but dont own lol... Is it possable yes just takes work which i dont mind but really why would u want it yes tw is bad but theres other lauchers out theree.... If you guys really want a sense rom ill look into it THAT DOESNT MEAN PM ME EVERY 5 MINS ASKING FOR ONE
It would be hard porting from the sensation, the resolution is higher and you have to do a lot of m10 editing. Sense 3 is cool but it is a memory hog the files are huge to download well over 300 plus megabytes. I know because i have virtuous unity with sense 3 on my mytouch 4g.

Zeam Launcher is a lightweight one, not too bad. LauncherPro is nice and very customizable just like GO Launcher and ADW. I personally like Zeam.

[Q] Mytouch Slide Expresso UI Port?

I know this might get moved, but I just want some devs to see it, and if they were intrested in porting the UI over, that would be great.
If anything just tell me what I need and Ill do it myself, I just need some help learning.
Hopefully some others would like to see this on the Sensation, just to have more of a varity, aside the normal Sense UI and the upcoming AOSP ports.
Q&A Section buddy,q&a..
Are there any ROMS for 4g that run 2.3.4? I'll give it a go if there is..
EDIT: Ill download the rom for the mytouch 4g and try to port but i reckon it'll have to be at a lower DPI and will probably take a fair time to get all working as i have not attempted to port a ROM for this...Have for the Magic and hero but it was a while ago..
The espresso is the 3G slide, and it only has an HVGA resolution. It's UI is just an older version of Sense- in fact it only recently got the upgrade to 2.2.

Espresso was the internal code name for the MT3G Slide. It is also the name used to refer to tmo's customized sense ui.

Expresso is just as bad as touchwiz 3.0

You would have to edit alot of images and do a lot of image optimization.
Then you would also have to edit the htc.resources.apk a lot, its a doooseyy

[Q] Now that I'm rooted...rom time!

Now that I'm rooted (thanks to all those involved), I want to get all decked out with a custom kernel/rom/all that. I can see that there are quite a few roms available. I don't suppose there's really anything that compares and contrasts them? Or an easy way to find them all? I tried searching for [rom] and it wasn't able to handle that.
I'm really digging Sense, and I recall seeing that there was a rom (maybe more than one?) that had Sense 3.0?
All the ROMs are listed in the development section.. Take a look at this thread for some good ROM recommendations http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256017

We do have a full pure 3.0 ROM that was a wip but the dev got like hella busy working 80+ hours a week so it took a backseat so he could relax, but there are also modded sense 2.1 ROMS depending on what your looking for the 2 we have both have Sense 3 elements but are not full sense 3, one of them is mikshifted-g(some sense 3 elements) and the other is supreme sense (3.0 rosie and widgets)both of which have their own look and feel but are the same base ROM

Any chance you could expand on this? I don't even know what's different in Sense 3, I just know that 3 is higher than 2.1, so it has to be better, right? I'm going to try to find threads on these roms and read up on them, but any comparison you can give from actual experience or working knowledge would be appreciated.

MikshiftedG- has Sense 3.0 messaging,lockcreen,the newest market that let's you plus1 things, has lots of extra quick settings,music widget if there are more ill be back to edit this post
Supreme Sense- is based off mikshifted G so it has the same market and all the quick settings and has Sense 3.0 messaging, weather,music,twitter3d,friendstream3d,lockscreen,Rosie(carousel),people widget 3d, message widget 3d, bookmark3d,htcclock3dwidget, if there is more i remember ill edit this too its early and i was up late making some changes lol anyways mikshifted/supreme offer up the most features out of our sense based ROMS, and they have better perfomance because they are odex and not deodex

[REQUEST] ICS Stock appearance

Hello everybody,
after some searching on this part of the forum I could not answer to my questions so I post it here, sorry if it's already answered somewhere, couldn't find it
The question is, I have an HTC Sensation running ARHD 6.5.4, It goes smooth but I want my icons on the notifications bar and so on to look like in my Galaxy Nexus, I love that blue instead of this ugly white color I have on the Sensation
Any simple way? I mean, found that pretty online-kitchen but those are mostly self-made icons, not the ones that come with pure android :S
If posible something that doesn't fore me to Wipe, but if imposible everything is wellcome!
Thanks for all
**EDIT** Forgot to say I'm using ADW Launcher EX with ICS theme on it (I can't live without fast desktop switching and no animation on ADW :S)

Give this a try, not sure if it is in any way what you're looking for, but it's an option.
[ICS][SKIN&MOD] Ice Cream Sense [25-3-2012][ver:5.3]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470497
Here is a really popular theme. While installing, it'll give you the option to install Pure Android apps. So while its practically like having a pure android experience, and despite replacing some sense apps with the ICS ones, it's still Sense. So the phone functions exactly the same.
A lot of AOSP themes are in this section, I am using this one.
Now my sensation looks like a Nexus! Finally thank you all guys
Thanks!

(Suggestion) AOSP thats sense based

Firstly before you all going bashing me about "WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS INSTEAD OF ASKING US?", my reply is I have tried and no dice, but I will keep trying.
Hey guys,
So many people are asking about an AOSP rom or pseudo-AOSP rom with a Sense camera. Now if you were like me and upgraded from the sensation, then you would remember HyperNonSense by Splder. For those who don't: It's a sense based rom with everything sense removed except libs and stuff, so yay sense camera with aosp things!
I was hoping that we could get something similar. Maybe ask Splder for help if needed. Just throwing it out there...

I think that's exactly what you get if you install viper without sense.

Are you sure? When I tried that, all I got was a Sense ROM with Nova Launcher.
Maybe it has changed since then, but I am happy with my AOSP ROM
it would be necessary to add aosp apps (don´t know if this is possible) to the sense base, also the notification bar... Animations, fonts, lockscreens and these things would be easy to port.
It would be really nice to have the aosp look speed and smoothness on a sense base, not just for the camera but also for the better optimized base than cm10/10.1

Agreed with this, Sense is good for it's integration with HTC hardware and the fact that it integrates functionality from a number of different apps into its ROM (widgets, notes app, etc.) but the memory usage and bloat is annoying. Sure getting a deodexed Sense ROM fixes that but the purity of AOSP along with the hardware/software support for the camera would be excellent!
Can someone explain to me what the big difference is with the Sense camera and the Stock JB one? My pictures are excellent with my ROM and I didn't see a big drop off with the features of the stock camera so what gives?

I don't know about you, but If I put pictures side by side (one taken from sense, other from aosp) there is a definite drop in quality and steadyness. It's not one of those placebo effects or bias towards sense, proofs just there.
Once I've done some minor tweaks(Bravia) my pictures side by side look relatively similar. I'll take a slight drop off in the camera since AOSP takes a diarrhea dump on Sense in terms of speed

Hi Alaq, I was exactly in your situation when I upgraded from HTC Sensation to HTC One S. The closest ROM I could find is Jellybean NonSense by $droyd$. It's not really as comprehensively AOSP as HyperSense on Sensation, but it's pretty much the only other One S ROM that's kind of AOSP with Sense camera. I don't think the ROM will be getting updates anymore, which is why I recently switched to ViperROM S and a custom launcher for the time being.
