Hi guys.
I'm thinking of getting LGO3d. Will it be possible to put sense on there??

I presume if/when custom roms come you might... but dear god why? Even when I've had HTC mobiles I always get rid of hat [email protected] The Widgets LG use are just as good if you like that sort of thing.

It will be possible if some dev make Sense ROM
I look forward to that too This is great phone and with ROM's it will be ever better
Personally i have owned a HTC Desire and a Sensation which i still have but the desire i gave to my brother. But i love the LG's custom UI and would not change it for sense sorry but would try it if custom roms came out but overall the custome ui by LG is good enough for the LG i like it alot...
LG custom IU is good,but sometimes I just want some change and something eye candy like Sense it would be nice to have some ROM options so that everyone chooses what they like
sense needs 300mb free so I doubt it will work

It would eat up your ram and battery more than what the LG custom UI. ...
I own both an htc and an lg phone, though sense is smoother and well polished i still find the LG launcher better cause its simplier and is the closest thing to stock android.

No,Evo 3D has Sense 3.0...but that's not the point...the point is that if HTC Magic with 528 Mhz CPU and 288 MB RAM can run it, then trust me O3D with Dual Core CPU and 512MB RAM will own it

having gone from Desire to Optimus 3D I can't say I miss sense at all, then again I always had custom ROMs or stock with a different launcher. I don't think there's a need for all the stuff HTC put on there to eat memory. I'd rather have a quick phone that did what I want rather than suff put there for me that I'll never use
I had a custom rom on my Samsung Portal because the original Samsung one was bloated and slow. The LG ui is fast, slick and works great. I'd suggest you just try first and if you don't get on with it custom roms will be here soon enough.

If you want this phone for 3d then the Evo isn't as good as the O3D, the reviews say the same the 3d effect isn't as good on the Evo.

And even though technically the specs are better (1,2GHz dualcore vs 1GHz dualcore and 1GB vs 512MB internal memory) the Evo3D scores quite a bit lower in Smartbench and Quadrant.

Exactly.. it now comes to the point which hardware design can utilize resource more efficient. It reminds me of our dessktop processors.. where an i5 and i3 processors are of same speed say 2.2 Ghz, but you know i5 will perform better than i3. So it looks like LG made a good bet on choosing the right dualcore cpu.
between, talking about UI, both sense and TW4 (SGS2) use up quite a bit of memory. So they need more memory for sure. I tried to use TW4 on SGS before, with the trim down port for SGS, I can only squeeze around 70~120mb free memory most of the time. While using the original TW3, I can manage to get 200~250mb free most of the time. There you can see why the extra 512 is needed.
You can always download htc keyboard, use sense ADW and a sense weather widget...

Hi guys, just like what the topic says. For those who like AOSP don't be an arse.. and start crap in this thread.
OK, i was about to buy LGX2 on 4/20 at full retail and thought devs might port Sense UI to LG cause i like Sense and other varieties rom like CM7, Miui, etc.. just like our phone MyTouch4G. But I wasn't sure, cause in the back head thought how come Samsung phones like Galaxy S, 4G, Nexus S don't have any Sense port? Only AOSP roms. So I did some research and ask questions and found out there's no way to port Sense to LG or Samsung due to close source. So if you hate Sense then you can get LGX2 or Samsung. But I want varieties Sense UI, cm7, Miui ill be waiting and get HTC phones.
PS: don't be a [email protected],I'm posting this for new users to know before making a mistake.

Tegra 2 fails in comparison to the dual core snap dragons. I think nvidia announced tegra 3 quadcore on phones by summer. I'm waiting for quadcore dual cores wont are not going to last as long. As the single cores did. The mytouch 4g has alot of ram as well so don't expect it to be outshine their was a video on YouTube of the mytouch 4g vs the atrix and the mytouch was blowing it out of the water.

Yep, I don't think the "Sense is slow" argument applies anymore. Phones like the MT4G are so powerful, I don't perceive any difference in performance going from a vanilla ROM to a Sense ROM. And phones will only continue to get more powerful.
Sense isn't slow I like it pure sense not T-Mobile version. I run cyanogenmod simply cause it save my days with the g1. Now I run miui with launcher pro. I personally like sense look but it uses alot of resources. 80 MB vs 254 MB they really don't need all of that stuff running in the background. Miui team changes alot and the rom is simply no bigger than 80 MB maybe HTC should look into a simpler way to implement their features without such heavy frameworks.

It doesn't matter if it's unlock or not that's not the problems. HTC Sense UI is close source, you can never port any Sense UI roms to any other models except HTC phones period.

Sense UI can be ported and was ported, just not properly. There is a port for Galaxy S. The problem is regaining radio functionality - and on Samsung they didn't achieve it. On the other hand, it took time to get Gingerbread on Galaxy S too, so it might just not be an easy task.

Its not as customizable as I like. I like having a dock with 4 apps that I can change and I also like having the ability to change my icons so I use ADW. Purchase ADW EX from the market and you will not be disappointed. Its like having a grand new phone. It will be the fastest thing you've ever seen. Sense has too much eye candy which makes the UI nit as fast as it could be.

It's not that people hate it, it's a very nice UI, but it lags a lot especially on the sensation. Sense takes up to much memory.

You are correct, except the excellent performance of the GS2 comes in a pathetic, cheap candy plastic shell. Personally I got the Sensation because I was a fan of the design, and have a preference for LCD over AMOLED screens.
No phone will be all things to all people The first thing I did was stick LauncherPro on the Sensation. My stock ROM (Telstra version) was horribly laggy, and performance way under what I expected. Now at least it's fluid enough for everyday use.
YMMV of course, but Sense 3.0 to me is way too heavy on the eye-candy and doodads, while offering little in terms of an upgrade over 2.1. The lockscreen is its one redeeming feature

Galaxy S2 - $800+ , have to import, who knows about warranty.
Sensation - $150 with contract, available in store, warranty.
I bought Sensation because of it's hardware and looks. Stock build is utter disappointment to me. I will happily admit that I had less lag with my single core MT4g with stock rom or CM7 rom and, IMHO, Sense 3.0 it it's current form is the only thing to blame.
For me, Sensation without Sense is just not right. I'm not exactly sure what people mean by lags. I've tried AOSP and MIUI roms and in all honesty, the difference between them and Sense is hardly noticeable. On a beast like the the Sensation, now that we have root and S-off there shall be cooked roms with Sense that will simply fly. In any case, the polished look of Sense 3.0 and its fantastic widgets are simply worth any so called lags, which I am yet to experience, from HD2 Android, Desire HD and now Sensation.

I know I'm not along when I say I like pretty much everything about Sense except the launcher. Luckily that's the easiest thing to change and you don't even need root. I installed launcher pro day 1 and still get to enjoy the sense lock screen, dialer, etc.
No Sense for me is like Non-sense

Sense roms are usually well over 200mb. With Sense you're lucky if you have 100mb of free ram with no other apps running.
AOSP roms are usually around 100mb. With cm7 I have 280mb of free ram with XDA app in the background.
AOSP roms fly compared to Sense and I actually prefer the ui of pure Android.

No matter how much the devs optimize sense it will still be much slower, far more bloated and barely customizable in comparison. Having some cute weather animations isn't worth it to many of us who bought it purely for the hardware specs knowing that as soon as root came around sense would be happily replaced with a AOSP ROM.
Coming from an iPhone I can see why you prefer a lack of customization in place of a little eye candy. It's what you're used to and your preference. Some people buy Porsche for its 0-60 time and others because of those sexy curves, It's just preference.

I would agree with this, ultimately you're getting the same device under the hood. The Evo 3D does have 1GB of RAM, where the Sensation has HTC's favorite, 768 MB of RAM. Dual 5MP cameras to one 8MP cam. Both qHD, both 4.3 in screens, blah blah blah. Evo's battery life is worse than the Sensation's IIRC.
I have an Sensation on AT&T here in the states, and I'm extremely happy with it. But messing around with the Evo 3D at the Sprint stores makes me want one of those too lol. Both awesome phones, you can't go wrong really.
They are almost the same phone. You should ask yourself if you prefer Sprint or T-Mobile.
HTC Sensation. Period.
If you want Sense 3.0.. Then for sure Evo 3D Due to higher ram..
I assume Evo 3D is better. But its also more expensive.. But seems that sensation have more system support
.. evo 3D has 1GB of ram .. is the "more" really noticable ? i dont think so!
sensation will be better

HTC Sense FTW!
Original ICS Looks great!
+1 for Sense. It really is visually rich, and it would be incredible if it was as fast as it is beautiful. I tried the only AOSP ICS ROM for the Sensation for a while, and I think pure ICS has itself quite a good looking UI, but since the ROM I was running still has a lot of issues, I've already switched to a just-released Sense 3.5 ROM from a team I've always loved. Just installed it, and holy smokes is it smooth when paired with a particular kernel a lot of users recommended.
I can't wait to see what we get in the near future. Whether we get ICS with Sense 3.5 from HTC or if we get ICS with Sense 4.0, either way it should be pretty exciting, as I'm sure it should finally take care of the one downside of Sense-speed.
HTC Sense is the best!
Well,Sense on a device with less than 1gb of RAM isn't recommended in my opinion.HTC made the mistake to release devices like the Desire HD and Sensation with 768mb of RAM.Anyway,paired with adequately powerful hardware,Sense is awesome.And,while up to Sense 2.1 everything was quite slow,Sense 3 and 3.5 have *proper* hardware acceleration and they are at least smooth as hell.And I only own a Desire HD,not some dual-core HTC phone.
Other than Sense,ICS on the Galaxy S II is more than just good in fact.I've been missing Sense with Gingerbread(God,I hate TouchWiz's launcher),but ICS seems to make up for the loss.Oh well...

So I side purchased a HTC sensation to compare wit our G2x and I have to say the G2x is not even comparable with it. The games run so horrible laggy on the sensation and the screen is so unclear compared to IPS display. The only good thing is the camera and even so it still performs horribly in dark places compared to the great flash and focus of the G2x. Here is where Tegra's chip making is superior and I noticed everything from battery life to app loading, multi tasking and even ICS performance was better even if the Sensation has leaked official firmware. So props to all the devs that have made our G2x comparable to such phones as the HTC Sensation and more.

Yes, full s-off & ran various gingerbread systems including sense, stock, aosp, and miui. But to be fair, since I'm running CM9 on my G2x I loaded Android Revolution ICS Sense 3.6 and even alpha Sense 4.0 to compare ICS functionality. Through out 2 weeks I tested battery life and that's how I came to the conclusion that the G2x is overall better. Their is way more devs on the sensation but because of the size most of each ROM or mod is very unsupported unlike our community where we have a few but very dedicated devs with amazing rom's.

i owned a evo 3d which is very similar and its not a bad phone. you guys have better dev support honestly.
I dont play games.......so i cant say anything about that
The G2X does have a better display i feel, the hi rez evo 3d one was ehhhh.....
i do miss the larger screen just a little bit but not too much. for me...(abq, nm) I finally get 4g ish speeds. usually 3-5 mbits down everywhere in my city.

I have both also. I am selling my sensation because the screen is crap compared to the G2X.

I love the qHD rez of the Sensation, but after playing with them for around 15 minutes, I liked the G2X more. The screen is brighter, clearer, I like the aesthetics of it, and the 1.3 mp FFC compared to the VGA on the Sensation. The Sensation was thinner I think, but also a bit slower. Not sure if this had to do with Sense running the whole time or the Snapdragon CPU being crap. It has 768 MBs of RAM compared to our 512, so I thought it would handle multitasking better.

I really wanted the sensation because I do like the look of the HTC devices. Now I want an Amaze but I am very content with the G2x. May pick one up to play around with at some point.
At one point of time I swore by HTC device. After exploring around with different manufacturers ie Samsung, LG etc. I'm not so thrilled by their lower hi class devices such as the Sensation, Evo 3D etc.
I have had my share of ppcs, androids and etc. I adore the performance of my G2x and tegra 2.

+1 I've owned HTC, Samsung and LG devices and I would put HTC's hardware as dead last out of the bunch. I use a co-worker's Sensation pretty often and there is no comparison between the two devices. The camera, the lone redeeming quality of the Sensation, takes pictures that look good on the device, but terrible once you view them in full size on a tablet or computer. I was tempted to get a Sensation when I bought the G2X because it had a fully functional ICS ROM (albeit one that is a Sense ROM with Sense stripped instead of AOSP). I'm glad I chose the G2X. The Sensation is not a bad phone, just not a great one either.

Heck yeah.. That's very close to my experience also. I'm very glad I choose the G2X too.
When i was shopping around for a T-Mobile device I was looking to go back to a up to date sense device. I read that HTC is going to slim down on sense on future device so it doesn't tax the ram as much as it do.
