[Q][REQ] Porting Sense Rom to XT720? - Milestone XT720 General

Hey I was wondering if anyone would be interesting in porting a sense rom over to the XT720, I have tried to myself but have failed as I am not an experienced porter.
Thanks.

You'd have a really tough time porting sense to a device with such little memory and ram as this. Sense is huge and consumes a lot of ram. I'd be really surprised if anyone could do it

Better to flash CM6 and apply Sileshn's Sense theme for the Milestone

i agree with this notion
CM6 is sooooooo much more stable, and it simply works
Sense is just a skin IMO
because the real Sense framework (App) is not that great, reason why a lot of HTC users removes it, and use CM7 instead

Off the top of my head:
Royal Panache 1.3
Great UI (HTC Sense) and I believe it's stock Mobilicity. No stock apps just the beauty and stability of android+htc sense. Used for over a month and no regrets.
MIUI is another good candidate. IMO, ugly compared to royalpanache.
ICS 4.0 beta (Creamed Glacier) is great. Just a lot of bugs you have to live with. Going to get better and better.

Ginger Bread doesn't necessarily mean Sense 3.0

Ginger Bread doesn't necessarily mean Sense 3.0
I think people are seeing sense 3.0 and confusing it with GB 2.3.4
Most likely won't be in the OEM GB release
possibly an addon ??
but you will most likely have to root to get any Sense 3.0 features.
The GB update has sense 2.1. HTC made it pretty clear they are not going to update existing phones to sense 3.0.

[Q]Who would like a clean andriod 2.3.3 rom without sense

I'm sure people are working on making a 100% sense free rom
but i'm just wondering how many people out there would rather have sense or not
i myself don't mind sense but i prefer a clean no sense rom with nothing pre-istalled
100% clean
sense is for teenage girls
I like to have at least one thing installed... A launcher... And maybe a phone... And a billion speed and ram tweaks... Oh and I'd like for it to be 2.3.4

Sense is for women and former iphone users.
Get rid of it & all bloat for a Android 2.3.4 rom! cool
i have not used 2.3.4 yet whats changed from 2.3.3 ?
Why stop at 2.3.3?
Cyanogenmod 7 has been based on Android 2.3.5 for a couple of weeks now and kmobs has it 99% ported to the Sensation.
Any day now I tell you ...
I've tried sense on a few different phones and I keep going back to the non sense version. Sense is pretty much all eye candy. It doesn't have any performance advantages what so ever.
I have removed sense but the AOSP lockscreen has been buggy, takes alot to unlock the screen. Has anyone else seen this problem or is it just my phone? the sense lock ring works much better for me.

Damn that sucks. That notes/tasks widget is really nice.
Hopefully, there will be an HTC/carrier release with an upgrade to Sense 3.5!

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

Oh they put it on Desire S already, that was quick ;o.
At the moment I'm using 3.0 with amazing sense skin looks pretty slick.

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 apkĀ“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).

Revolution Theme and Skin is already available for Sense 3.5 for exactly that reason

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).

[Q] Sense 2.1 on ICS

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
