Would it be possible to take the OpenSense SDK and merge some of the features into the HoneyComb Transformer Tab? I've always loved Sense over stock android.
I know the HTC Flyer should be going android 3.2 before too long, I would love to see a port
Edit:

Agreed. Sense is too resource-intensive and the HTC Framework doesn't play well with others.

I'm just super pleased with the experience I had with my HTC Evo, even after rooting it I kept Sense, the ASOP roms and MIUI rom didnt sit well with me... I dislike stock Android since to get the same functions that i got with Sense i would have to install 4 apps.
I know HTC isn't the best for Developers but imo they did put good idea's on-top-off android, but getting it built in more so (So its not so resource-intensive) would be better.
The opensense sdk is not made to put sense on devices, it's made to extent and/or enhance sense if it's (already) installed.
More specific, it's for writing sense Widgets, plugins etc..., not sense itself .

The Sense UI is provided by HTC, not by google.
Pure awesomeness. Unified E-Mail Inbox and many more nice features - finally. Can't wait till Cyanogen gets this in his fingers

ahhh, newbs in real life. I understand that google does not create nor produce sense ui. This is controlled by HTC, duh! I'm saying that these cool features still wont bring google android from the gutter. HTC & Motorola have created there own UI's on top of android and they both look better and operate a lot better. So thank you for being newbs of the day! At this rate, they need android 7.6 [full bakery] to come close to what HTC has done with the OS.

is it possible to get sense ontop of the honeycomb for our xooms? i loooove the the vanilla honeycomb but was wondering if it was possible.
also wondering if the scribe pen that the htc flyer uses is at all compatible with the xoom.
The htc flyer runs gingerbread with sense, so there isn't sense for honeycomb released yet.

HTC Sense is grounded into custom frame work that HTC makes. So you would have to do a lot of work just to get it working in a beta stage. Plus they don't have Sense on any Android 3.x device yet.

FYI the HTC Puccini is going to be running Android 3.x and will have HTC's Sense.
I love Sense UI, don't get me wrong, but the Honeycomb UI is just so smooth and fluid on my Xoom. I don't think that I'd want Sense, or any other UI for that fact.

mmeyer4663 : there wont be a 3.5 for sensation as this rom is made for the lower end htc devices .. we should expect something better
fishluke : it actually looks and feels good on my Desire S
I would think you need 3.5 Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk for it to work and if your changing them, you need to change the whole rom

Not really - I already merged all changes from 3.5 com.htc.resources to 3.0 resources and same with Rosie, then compiled all stuff against new merged com.htc.resources. New framnework works perfect, but the issue at this stage seems, that apk´s also ask for shared m.10`s from sense 3.5, which aren`t compiled correct as in previous 3.0 versions. I`m working on it, but that might be a dead end...
I still hope seo will also have a look, since he`s really good, but if I`m right, then the only chance is, that diamondback and flemmard can beat the issues on latest Sense ROM`s (2.3.5 and Sense 3.5).

Wow, no disrespect to any devs working on this but thats ass backwards. The high end devices sporting sense 3.0 should have been first to get sense 3.5. Dont know how it got to the HD2, even though thats an awesome device that i had twice. How did 3.5 skip the best of the best?

I agree with you! I think it would easier to change 3.0 to 3.5 than 2.x to 3.5 but i"m not a dev.

3.5 Has never been officially released. Every rom that is built with Sense 3.5 is a port of either the HTC Bliss or the HTC Runnymede, which aren't even releasing until late this year to early next year. Those leaks are natively WVGA, hence the reason why they are being ported to WVGA devices. Sensation & Evo 3D are qHD, which may be the reason devs are holding out for a qHD release.

The main reason why 3.5 won't make it to 3.0 devices, besides resolution, is 3.5 is designed for lower end, less powerful devices. They didn't 'skip' us, they just made a lighter version of Sense for a different class of phones.

3.5 isn't "designed for lower class phones" it's optimized for better resource management, which is why it runs better than the qHD ports for our phones (I'm still on evo) 3.5 has a lot of upgrades and enhancements and y'all will get an official release of it too.

Yeah exactly, better resource management essentially means - make the best out of less ram/slower cpu which = different class of phones. Also, this is the Sensation forum, so we don't run qHD ports, they are native. Of course a Sense 3.5 wvga port will run better on your evo4g - less memory, slower cpu, same resolution...it's made for those specs, albeit newer hardware but nonetheless.
I highly doubt that the Sensation will receive an upgrade to 3.5, especially after all the hype about the animations, i just can't phathom why they would totally change the UI like that so soon after all the work behind 3.0. I have a feeling htc will just have different versions of Sense for different phones, not like they've never done that before (cough mt4g and mt3gs).

...want Sense 3.6 to be the final Sense version that we get for the Sensation? I mean, I love it. It's great. Obviously a more polished version makes sense, however, I think this sense version is pretty great. (I've had tons of Sense phones and have used many roms.) Sense 4.0 looks so... Blah... to me. That plain grey, I like it on AOSP and in the menus on Sense 3.6... but for it to be the launcher bar on the bottom... I dunno. I feel like they are doing away with the glassy gloss of Sense that made me love it.
Anyone else agree?
Yes, I would love to see sense die, but it seems to be popular enough to some that it keeps HTC making it. These custom skins also give a layer of distinction between manufacturers. I know my next phone will be a Nexus phone or a phone that active and successful AOSP based roms. I don't like how HTC doesn't open up the source for the sensation making it harder for devs to cook up fully functional roms.

They do open the kernel source up, but IIRC it's only after a phone or update with that version of the kernel is shipped this occurs.
So my guess is once they push out the ICS update they will make the kernel source available here: http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Don't get me wrong, I love Sense. However, I don't like the direction they are going with Sense 4.0. I would like the new landscape rosie and lockscreen, other than that... Sense 3.6 is the way I like my Sensation.
Μe too,I think now they are making it too grey ang ugly for me.sense 3.6 has that touch polish you can't see elsewhere.

I think 3.6 is kinda ugly. Those grays are very real in Sense 3.6 but they have a bluish tint to them. I just wish the current releases weren't so laggy. Sure, they're stable and the lag is tolerable, but nothing beats AOSP 4.0
Personally I can't stand sense, but thats just a personal preference. I didn't realize how much I disliked it until I received a sense device. I used to think it was just a skin and a different launcher would fix it.
It would be great if HTC offered factory baked AOSP roms as an option. So those who want a regular android experience will continue to buy HTC phones and can do so without voiding their warranty. I get why people like sense, even more when you take it back to windows mobile 6.x (touchflo), but as long as sense is a part of HTC phones for the future, I will no longer buy phones from them. Except for 9 months on blackberry I have had only HTC phones for at least 6 years.

Blue tint is a bug affecting some users. Flash this kernel to fix it: 1.512_GHz_overclocked_kernel_3.0.16-g9788208_by_SebastianFM.zip
You can't really complain about Sense 4.0 when no one has even used it.
All you've seen so far are leaked videos and pictures. It could still change before it's released.
Is there anyway to port sense 2.1 on android 4.0? I'm just asking if it possible to do it?
Of course it's possible, but no developer here is going to do it so you had better start learning quickly and found a lot of reading if you want to do it yourself.

If you wat have a sense 2.1 look, try to download some comercial laucher like GO laucher and download any senser skin for it. If you want a sense clock in the fancy widgets you've got one.
I think so, i have try GO launcher and I have to confess that I'm not interest since it is just simulation. In my opinion, sense 2.1 bring a lot of more convenience for me from the lock screen to other features as well. From the sense 3.0 till sense 4.0 I fekt it is very heavy for our old generation phone. HTC Desire is my first android phone ever. Sense 2.0 give the best experience I never been through, HTC really try to make it better but it seem they are getting the wrong idea, it is just not simply brilliant anymore, anyway thank you very much. I will trying hard to build it my own then.
Simply said you can't. There is no way to make GB framework to work over ICS. Why don't you just use a Sense 2.1 ROM? I remember LBC was really good one
