No. Closed Source OS without support for any chipsets other than Snapdragons.

It would be nice if someone ported WP7 to Nexus S, but it's nearly impossible.

Are you insane? Why would you do that?

One phone to rule them all

If you don't like it no one is forcing you to. Some people actually like WP7.
I think it's pretty beautiful.
I love android as my nerdy OS, but even I think WP7 is pretty good. Not as much customization but I wouldn't mind running it.

Its not possible to run WP7 on a Nexus S because WP7 is closed source and impossible to port without it. But you could always get a WP7-style launcher for the look of wp7 but all the benefits of running Android. Launcher 7 is a good choice.

I just used launcher 7 lol

Bleh .. had a mango.. didn't like it lol =\ too simple in my opinion.

I like the idea... honestly though I like the mix of wp7 launcher and then just using android... I still like the app selection and the way android works in general

HTC Sense Port for SNS? (Nexus S)

Do you think that Sense will ever be able to be ported to the Nexus S when it releases its Gingerbread update?
I know that the Galaxy S never managed to see Sense on it, but it would be sure nice to have that option I also know this would be a difficult port as it would involve an inter manufacturer jump. I think it was easier to put sense on the n1 due to it being an HTC phone I dont think i will feel the same need for TouchWiz on the Nexus S somehow

No idea. Just out of curiosity, WHY???

Sense is closed-source, meaning it would be illegal to port it. And because we're on the Internet, it will be done anyway.

Because something is closed source doesn't make it illegal to port. The problem is that Sense is a copyright work of HTC and therefore it's up to HTC whether or not third-parties are allowed to redistribute it, at present no.
However that still doesn't mean porting Sense is illegal. If you own a HTC Desire HD, dump the firmware, modify it to run on another device you own then that's perfectly legal. However, I'm not sure about the actual legalities of duplicating the firmware. You may be forced to remove the firmware from your HTC device so that you haven't created two copies. It really depends on what HTC's license says, assuming they even thought to include one.
Can anybody make a sense rom?
To work on nexus S....Pls just for kicks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm sure one will be released at some point. Sense has an aesthetically pleasing UI that a lot of android users find attractive. Seeing as the Nexus S was just released, however, just have to wait and be patient. I think that the openness of this device, coupled with it's "pure google" experience, will attract a lot of devs and a lot of customization options.

I think the N1 got the Sense ROMs only because it was easy to port it from the nearly identical HTC Desire device.
I'm not sure it will be that easy to do on the Samsung HW.
Does the SGS have such ROM? If so, then surly we'll be seeing one for NS soon.

Tango was updated today to support the Nexus S
And I only looked at this thread thinking it was a joke. You mean someone would seriously want to take a great phone and crap it up with Sense???? I don't understand that at all!
I though people stopped making sense ROMs because HTC didnt quite like that copyright infringment.
thats why the CM rom on the Evo doesnt have it

Anyone grabbing this badboy?

Itll get rooted, but bootloader is locked. With the recent breakthroughs on the Droid X with second init and getting CM7 working, count on aosp working at some point on the Photon also. Motorola may even unlock a few months down the road since they promised no more locked bootloaders.
Like the look and nice specs but I only buy Nexus devices. To buy any other android phone other than a Nexus would be stupid.

I like Sense, it doesn't give me bad performance, and it looks nice.
Please go somewhere else where people want to hear your bull****.
A sense ROM would probably be a refreshing change from the currently overloaded AOSP based ROMs (not complaining).
Mainly one that's based on sense 3.0. I've seen sense 3.0 ROMs in the desire forums and they look really good. It would be nice to see one for the Nexus.

not saying it isnt. i love my nexus s. im glad i chose this over the arc. i was origanally going to get the arc on contract but then found out they has the nexus s in stock and asked for this one. i een chose this over the galaxy s2 as this is part owend by google and we should be the first to get the update if i am right. but still to trade the E3D for a nexus s is to me a little bit silly if you ask me. the E3D is an amazing phone and HTC are very good at making a fast reliable deice.

Hardware wise it could run it, its just that Apple has their device locked down beyond belief. You never actually own an iPhone since basic service such as a battery upgrade cannot be done easily, you are just paying to experience it.

yep.. 5 years ago, "porting" these features to phones they didn't belong on made sense. people spent a lot of time doing it. but now that most carriers are saturated with Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, basically you name it and that's not even to mention unlocked devices, it does seem like an oddity and a complete waste of time

AS HTC has not comparable chipset to the Nexus5 and Kitkat is new on the HTC One, That makes it harder to port it.
Also it seems like there's not interest to work on that.

I get it, just because something is hard doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
There are some neat manufacturer features which would make our phones better, example Wifi Calling.
The code for that has been released for a long time yet it's not something google wants to approach.
Nexus 5 isn't pure android it's pure Google with it's own custom launcher so with that why not add some other neat features and launchers why let google control what this phone should be?
This phone was made to be a developer phone so why not develop it to it's fullest potential I'm running a rom based off Nexus 7 KVT49L that's loaded with features. It's not from this site and when someone mentioned this rom the post was deleted. That just seems closed minded and hinders development in my opinion. Luckily I saw the post and checked out the rom.
Think how pissed the manufacturers would be if all their cool features could be incorporated on one phone.
One last thing just because someone has a different opinion than yours doesn't make it wrong.
Peace
