[Q] [Devs] What happened to the Sense port?

Hey all,
Seeing that Sense 3.0 got ported to the Incredible got me thinking... what happened to the Sense port for Galaxy S?
(I'm not a dev, just wondering/spiking community interest)

Not going to happen. Or at least I doubt it. It would be cool. I'm running it on my inspire and would love it on my captivate

Why would you want to?
IMHO, it goes like this:
CyanogenMod > Stock Android > TouchWiz > Sense > Moto/Sony/Etc
I'm not counting launchers here, because that's such a simple thing to change, but as far as all the other customizations go, that's how I see it.
CM7 is already being worked on quite fervently, and new Samsung versions keep rolling out, why spend all the time and effort to get one specific version working?

Developers probably realized it was easier to just buy an HTC device with their working GPS and lag-free file system. lol

[Q] galaxy SII UI in nexus S

my GF just got the new SII bout days ago.
the thing is that UI is so polished that i want that for my nexus s.
tried few rom that given the effect (sorta) but hers (SII) was nicer.
currently my nexus s running NScollab .35 (previously MIUI, Infinity, blabla)
is it possible to achive the same UI as SGSII for my NXS
thanks for my ranting!

Hey i assume you mean you like the Touchwiz launcher that comes as standard on the sg2
i havent used it myself as i have a sg2 already, but have a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
it is a modified tw launcher, that say it works with every •Every device with armv7 processor and froyo or higher.

looked at the link u gave me.
the theme/ui in question still in dev mode
so im not keep to try as really hated FC (got 3-4x per day with earlier ver of NSCollab)
did retry MIUI again (now 1.7.8), can say its better than v1.6.1
so i gonna stick with that first till anything else stable.
thx !

This might be what your looking for in the themes section.

Roms? Why aren't there more?

Why does it seem like the galaxy tab gets more developer attention than the xoom? Is it easier or what? They have all kinds of roms whereas the xoom has like 2. Just a question.

The car thing is some what right. The xoom came out as a "kit car", you'll need this and that BEFORE you can drive it. Where as the galaxy came complete. You can just drive it off the lot. So there is more interest in the galaxy.

That seems lame. I love my xoom. Just want to customize it more. I have no developing skills although I wish I had some. I used a adb for the first time with the xoom and it took a lot of trial and error. I have the galaxy s and flashing stuff is so easy on it(via Odin and cwm). Just wish the xoom would get more attention.

The reason why we are not seeing ROM's is because the Honeycomb source code has not been release nor will it ever be. We will have to wait until Ice Cream Sandwich for ROM's to start popping up.

Thanks for the info gq. Seems pretty craptacular....hahaha. Well c'mon ICS. Can't wait for that release

Also can't wait for Ice Cream Sandwich!
Need some rom for my xomm

last I heard, ICS isn't coming until Q3ish. Any updates?

Q3 Q4 who knows for sure. They just need to hurry up. It feels like tablets are kinda lacking in dev stuff.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

why in iconia tab they are able to have touchwiz and is not the same for us?
for you in the next future will be possible to mount web os3 on our xoom?
and that you know is there some new launcher dedicate to honeycomb? or u know if some one is developing it?
i love my xoom like it is, but i love play on it too.

I try to donate to all who develope for my devices, my way of letting them know its appriciated and to keep up the good work, if you cant spare much, no biggie, everyone likes to get donations, even if its a dollar or two.
On another note we could make it appear to be a rom, but would only be a theme, a sham. Its definatly source code realese that is the problem.
Ice cream sanwich is google bringing honeycomb to the phone right, i thought, ics on phones, but honeycomb on tablets(because of its tablet opimization). Someone please correct me if im wrong, still fuzzy on the part.
Last thing, still cant decode 3.2 apks with sdk, still getting brut error, anyone have any knowledge of when brut will be realeasing this fix?

ICS is supposed to be the best from gingerbread and the best from honeycomb mashed together with some other goodies included, hince the name it is also to be universal for both phones and tablets, that way making apps much more abundant.
I am also excited for what it will bring the demo at the google i/o conf was amazing to say the least and i am sure the just scratched the surface.

Don't forget that alot of developers were give a samsung Google I.O.
I'm sure it helped a bit not having to pay for one.

3.0 Honeycomb 0r 4.0 ICS?

Is it possible to get Honeycomb or ICS on my USCC Samsung Mesmerize SCH-i500, rooted or not, yet or at all ever or are those only for tablets?
I thought I read an article about 4.0 being ported to smartphone & a way to install it from the SDcard but an emergency came up, my history auto deletes on closing & I haven't been able to find it again

honeymoon is strictly for tablets. ics however has a working port for the fascinate/mesmerize. i haven't tried it, im kind wAiting on one ported specifically for the mez. look on rootzwiki

USCC tech svcs is no big hurry to get ICS to our handsets. They are currently working with Motorola and Samsung to have them develop a new handset with ICS already. As far as an OS Upgrade... Not likely anytime soon.

Ok, thx to both of u for the replies

Hey i did flast the ics for fascinate on my mez and it worked great. I dont think there is any way to tell if uscc will ever port it to the mesmerize but there is a buttload of mez users with the fascinate port of ics on thier phones it really quite awesome

Rumor has it that USCC will be getting the CDMA Galaxy Nexus in Q1 2012... if that happens then thats no doubt where my upgrade will go.

[Q] Request

Hey fellas I started my love 4 android honestly back when the evo had came out I ran with that for about 2-3 year b4 I upgraded R.I.P EVO any way my request Is maybe one of these great devs on xda can make a port of sense 4.0 for our beloved Gs3 I love stock android I like touchwiz but I would love to just see something else like sense well please let me know if that's possible and if anyone will take on the challenge I will deff buy u a nice case of beer!

Coming from a Dinc (never made it to Sense 4.0), give TW a chance. Consider some of the things built into TW that you will lose before giving up on it.

It was tried on the International Version and they gave up.

there are themes/widgets that can help you get the look and feel of sense i think

Oo don't me wrong fellas i mean touch wiz is nice especially this " Clean ROM 3.0" I'm running but there's something about sense I like and to be honest I just like having choice and like to show off to all my friends cuz the all got iPhone

You can get the Launcher from Widget Locker and the Clock from Beautiful Widgets. You can get the wallpaper and can port the sound files. Only thing you can't fake are the Sense widgets. :laugh:
