Looks like some new better features like the app launcher button and the phone button. Much better than the current look IMO.

i don't use sense anyways.

Nice but what are the chances we'll get it. We're not even sure what elements from sense 3.0 we're supposed to get. Well here's hoping we least get the lockscreen.

I would actually be surprised if we didnt get it (or at least some components of it) at some point. I mean the devs here are great. We already have a number of full sense 3.0 ports that work great. Not to mention all after HTC said sense 3.0 cant run on "older" devices like the Thunderbolt

You have to understand from a manufacturer's standpoint, if it requires 'too much' (they decide what is 'too much') work to make it operate properly, they simply say "it's not supported on older devices". I mean, a glitchy GPS, for instance, just isn't acceptable on a "stock" ROM, but to people like us, running custom ROMs, we accept some tradeoffs.

Sense 3.0 has its issues on slower devices. For instance, the lockscreen not showing up to answer for some calls? Probably due to hardware limitations.

I guess i was just trying to say that the manufacturers made it seem (or at least that's how i took it) that sense 3.0 or any of its components wouldn't work on the Thunderbolt at all since it didn't have the hardware they specified. But yet we still have stuff out there that works pretty good. But I completely understand/agree with what both of you are saying

I like how the hardware requirements are removed...hmmmm

if nobody did therethe world would go broke lmao
but i actually dont really like the looks of 3.5
i think 3.0 is as far as i am going
that is until ice cream comes out and ported to thunderbolt then i may just have to jump on whatever sense comes with it

We will never see an official version of sense 3.5 from HTC. If we see it at all it will be from the best devs in the world, from xda

There's this neat little app on android phones called... wait... let me go look, I keep forgetting what it's called.
Ohhh there it is. It's called "Market"
You can get things from there. Things like the XDA App.

One reason I dont want to leave HTC

If the newer phones will run it with specs below that of the Thunderbolt, odds are we will get it.

Very First Sense Rom For The G2X.

Am i the only one that would like to see a sense rom on our G2x? I think it would look pretty sick. I know we are early in the development stages, but do you guys think we will get one? If so what port or sense like rom would you LOVE to see on this device.
Sense was cool for a few days for me but i don't prefer it. Now i like the pure androidness But the g2x is pretty popular so i'm sure we'll have a sense rom.

AFAIK Sense is built specifically for HTC hardware specs and there is no source code for it so porting it over would be extremely hard.
Just ordered the G2x , switching from blackberry
Hi,
I had enough of blackberry and enough of AT&T so im switching to Android . Soooo.. What is Sense rom and touchwiz?
Sense is the custom interface HTC puts on all their phones. Touchwiz is Samsungs UI. They do it to try and set their phones apart from one another in a market full of android phones. You dont have to use them though if you dont like them.

I'm pretty sure you can put the TouchWiz Launcher on any phone. I'm almost positive that I had installed it on my Nexus One but removed that crap within seconds.
I know for a fact I installed LG's launcher too.
Most of that stuff isn't anything but a bunch of fluff. While I prefer Stock, I do know that Sense is actually built into the rom more ways then one and you have to have the whole rom built around it.

i think they jsut gave out an sdk to make apps that will only work on sense devices.
if you like sense try out go launcher. it has much of what sense does without the lag. the weather app and live wallpaper is as awesome as sense(maybe not as the new weather animations) dont know but they are pretty good.
kinda a mix betwen muiu/apple and sense. its a really good launcher and has all accompaning apps to go with it.

sense 3.0 YES!!!!
i would love a sense rom on this phone! not a fan of gb or cm7. they are good roms but sense is nice and even if takes resources the g2x has plenty to spare, wouldnt affect much on it. my hd2 ran sense beautifully and as bad ass a phone as it was it wasnt quite the powerhouse i have now. sense would be nice addition to the rom dev for those of us who enjoy that type of ui.
thanks in advance to any devs that work on a sense rom for this phone
I cant believe ya really dont want sense one this beautiful phone >_>
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
+1 To this. A wide range of roms for a wide range of people is what we need on a phone. Sense brings a lot of features that stock doesn't have and an ease of use that people like. I'm looking forward to sense on the g2x,and miui, and gs2 twiz, etc. bring on the variety!
i would like to test different roms on this phone. i like miui, gingerbread, aosp, and sense. You know what i dont like STOCK. so lets bring whatever roms we can get to our side. If we didnt have ANY ROMS to flash people would be complaining. Be grateful. I dont really see what the big dispute is about. If you dont like it DONT FLASH IT. Problem solved. Some builds bring different things to the device. Gingerbread doesnt cover everything. Whatever rom is posted i flash it, if i dont like it i flash back. Some of you just want to be difficult.
Heck yeah I would want sense. CM7 is nice. If they get sense ported on here, I bet it will be faster than the sensation. The sensation only gets like 1300 in quadrant. Don't give me that quadrant isn't optimized for gingerbread cause it is. I'm sure this phone would be like 2000 via quadrant with sense added
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I love CM7 but when I wanna show off to my buddies I'll flash a sense rom. So 95% of the time CM7 will be installed. I just like having alot of rom options. Also as many roms/kernels as possible.
what!
did he say hd2 ran sense beautifully? what magical phone did he have? lol

Miui vs Sense 3.0/3.5

Go! Personally I am using Miui right now. I started on VU and then gave Miui a try. It feels a but quicker on Miui and their seems to be a lot more customization
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Oh boy. I see this going south. I LOVE miui because it has sms popups, themes galore, a nice dialer, and awesome support.
Sense is beautiful, has many variations, the system apps and widgets go on forever, and it really shows off what android is capable of visually. That said, it seems to take a tremendous amount of work by devs to make sense ROMs easy on the ol' battery. That, from my point of view makes them bloated. But, they can be made into fantastic daily drivers as has been shown repeatedly.
Lately I've used MIUI.

You probably think that TJ is being harsh and ruining a fun thing. But you have to take into account that redundant threads like this pollutes the site and when a noob tries to do the right thing and search for a thread he/she needs it'll be harder to find. And all he/she will do is ask the question in a thread that's been answered many times. Thus, it all just creates the circle of problems.
Powered by a G2x
I ran both.
MIUI on Nexus One, which is incapable of properly running even Sense 2.1, having no devs to completely solve everything (trackball wake) and no graphical power to move it smoothly.
Sense 3.0 on MT4G, which is capable of running it fast and smooth.
Personally, I prefer Sense - it is visually and functionally better. While MIUI fixes a lot of things that stock Android did wrong (T9 dialer, notification bar toggles, launcher - in the aspect of adding widgets, smoothness and effects), it still falls short when it comes to Email, text selection (standard Android has selection position bugs and isn't nearly as comfortable as Sense), and just overall visual experience. But MIUI is small and fast, and on older phones it counts - and it supports A LOT of phones that have no better options. So, for me, if the phone can't run Sense or TouchWiz properly - MIUI would be the next best thing to choose.
I go to miui once in a while but find myself coming back to sense 3.0/3.5 only because its just so awesome... Sense is hands down the best thing that happened to android it adds so much to android... Basic stuff like browser ,mail, contacts integration made perfect.... Sense makes android beautiful with brains but miui on the other side is definitely for lower power phones like say moto defy or something like that... Btw love both of them

WebOS on Droid Charge

With the announcement of webOS moving to a open source platform, am I the only one wishing for a port of webOS to the Charges' hardware? Sure its not the most powerful phone or neither does it have the strongest developer base, but I'm still hoping for it one day. This is coming from a person who had a Palm Pre Plus prior to my D'Charge, so therefore I'm very familiar with the way webOS works and I still today miss it the fluidity of the platform. So let me know, am I alone?
In theory, I suppose it could be done, as WebOS is also Linux based. However, it would take a LOT of work-I think the time put into such a project would not equal the number of people who would want to use it.

In all honesty I would like to see ICS before I would like to see WebOS, but I feel like these ports would be coming from different teams. From one corner their will be developers working to get ICS to all non-nexus devices and in the other corner their will be people working to get WebOS on android devices and once its done here it will be picked up by other developers and tweaked to work on the particular device they're developing for.

Sense 4.0

Is it possible to get sense 4.0?
Not yet, but be paticent .
We need a compatable kernel source...
Sent from my PG06100
What I read was sense 4.0 only goes to phones that are made for ics and the phones that get updated from gingerbread to ics get sense 3.6 which is pretty much the same but that has to do with hardware issues
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yea YoungCorruption is right, the EVO 3D, Sensation etc are all getting Sense 3.6 with "as many Sense 4.0 features we can include" says HTC.
New phones will get Sense 4.0, and this is mostly because of the ImageSense chip in the new HTC phones which current phones do not have.
Honestly I will be suprised to see the shift get sense 3.6, but no matter what eventually their will be ports of Sense 4.0, Sense 3.6 etc. Hell the One V Leak just showed itself ill probably post on general later
Kinda weird that no one has started the porting. I know there isn't a compatible kernel source out there yet. I'll be looking out for one, if I come across one I'll let you know! Thank you for helping our Shifts get sense 4.0!
