Title explains it all really, I'm wondering if its even possible to port sense 2.1 to the sensation.
I like sense 3 and all but its just not stable, I would prefer to have sense 2....I miss my desire hd became of it.
But obviously this phone has many hardware advancements so I wanted to see if it was possible to have sense 2 on it, then its like the best of both worlds
should be possible since its a sense rom but id say a new kernel would be needed?
Possible ? Sure, but I don't think that You'll find a developer which will try to port 2.1 on a device already coming with Sense 3.0.
Sense 2.1 is only build for older devices and not for sensation for evo. 3d

Since the new Sense 3.0 is ported to the Desire HD, I was wondering if the new HTC Sense can be ported to the HTC Wildfire.
I really like the new HTC Sense, so that's why
And if not because of the hardware limitations or what ever ->
Thats never gonna happen. Sorry.
Yeah the screen resolution is far too limited, and the processor is not exactly top of the range. If you are so desperate for it, the only feasible option at the moment is buy a device that supports/cant hack it on to
Check out custom ROM SFMv1.1.
It has ported Salsa ROM to WIldfire with Sense 3.0. Work is still

It's not exactly Sense 3.0. It's only the lockscreen and phone that is ported, everything else is still sense 2.1
O.K., so i know that not that many people would want sense on their phones, but some poeple out there would, especially if its sense 3.0, poeple say that its not that possible , but someone on the forums did, but is an older version of sense ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827769 ) but i think that it would become very popular in the forums, and c'mon, why do htc phones get all of the good roms?! anyways hope someone can port sense 3.0 for the captivate community.
Imo, it's outdated.
3.0 is quite a bit different from 1.0 and 2.0 builds. HTC isn't even going to allow their current phones upgrade to it(that includes Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt). I imagine a 3.0 theme wouldn't be difficult, but a 3.0 ROM might be more trouble than it's worth, considering that Sense is pretty lag-tastic as it is.
One of the biggest issues is that HTC uses alot of closed source drivers and stuff for sense. As for why they get all the good Roms, well HTC is more user freindly then say Samsung or Motorola.
I'm thinking about trading my Nexus for a shift since I used to have one and I liked it better than what I have.
The only thing is that I REAALLLLYY like the new Sense 3.5, but there's currently no full rom port for the shift. So, my question is... can the 3.5 apks (like ereader, widgets, and such...) be installed on the shift with a MikRom running Sense 2.1 and 3.0?
Just wondering, bc if so I am definitely getting the shift. I miss Sense, even though I barely used it when I had the shift and the evo, I still liked to have it as an option.
So, again, can Sense 3.5 apks work on a rom with a previous version of Sense?
Great ?. Lets try and see!

They may or may not work. I'd make a Nand before you try, Mik's Roms are odexed. But if you like Sense 3.5 . You might want to check out Supreme Sense. It's a mix of Sense 2.1 and a whole lot of 3.0, including the 3.0 Rotating Rosie.
I don't if its possible but is it possible for a 3.6 port????

Why the hell would you want to downgrade from Sense 4.0 to Sense 3.6......

Hell, I like the look of 3.6? Personal Preference i just wanted to know if its possible and you know its a nice OS i think.
I wouldn't expect much, unless you want to downgrade the whole OS to Gingerbread via a custom ROM (has that even been done already? Custom ROM with an OS downgrade from the original software?..). Sense 4 is tighly integrated with ICS, I don't think earlier Sense version will work with ICS - except maybe for single widgets/tools.
However, if Sense 4 is skinnable (don't know whether it is), I'd expect someone to create an "old Sense" theme sooner or later.

Dude,
You would NOT have to downgrade to gingerbread to get sense 3.6
Sense 3.6 is what comes with all the "older" HTC handsets being upgraded to ics. HTC wanted these handsets to look like their "old" sense (ie. 2.1 and 3.0/3.5) so as to not confuse their customers (ie. non techy) with something that looks different. Some poeple may prefer 3.6 as it comes with thing like the stock ics multitasking etc. At any rate, someone might want to do it "because they can".
Gingerbread is/was Sense 1.9, 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5
So sense 3.6 will work with ics, as it is only meant to work with ics, and on older / slower hardware.

Oh, I didn't realize that. I thought we were talking about the old Froyo/Gingerbread-based Sense on older devices, I completely forgot about them being upgraded to ICS too. In that case, yes, I guess 3.6 can be ported over from the Sensation or some other device.
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
