Hey Guyz
i would like to ask if there are other UI's for the Nexus S just like MIUI interface
Because the stock is pretty boring !
There are a lot of roms for NS, starting for CM7 based roms, MIUI, CM9 alpha, and well take a look on the developing section and test the one you want..
Wait a few weeks they're almost done with HTC Sense.
Yeah, and MIUI V4.

You're saying "UI"... do you mean "Launcher"? Because you don't need a custom rom to change the way the phone looks. There are lots of them on the market, just to name a few I've tested:
-ADWLauncher EX: smoother than regular ADWLauncher, highly customizable, worth the purchase (for me at least, runs great)
-LauncherPro: also very smooth, pretty customizable
-Go Launcher EX: can't say I loved it too much, but also nice looking.
Take your pick. Hope this is what you were searching for, a replacement LAUNCHER, not a replacement ROM.
I don't mean the launchers.
I mean different transitions, icons,statusbar,notification and etc like the full framework has been changed as you see in MIUI Rom

The MIUI ROM is still based off of Gingerbread and hides it really well. Though most of it is recognizable once you see past the themes and skins.
If you want a list of different ROMs, some of which sport their own framework visit the Nexus S ROM thread
here.
Also as flodb113 pointed out, essentially you are looking for a different launcher. ADWLauncher is a good place to start off if you're not looking to flash a new ROM.
The ADWLauncher contains themes which can change the whole appearance of the UI including: transitions, icons, statusbar, notifications and etc.
But isnt a UI called RoUI available?

If you are referring to this then it only allows you to customize the lockscreen. Which is similar to changing a launcher; no flashing required.

Miui is available for the NS and NS4G, just flash it.
Not sure why you chose the Nexus if you're looking for a flashy interface... The nexus was designed as a vehicle for the bare bones, no frills aosp android experience.

I didn't see this posted anywhere so figured I would share. Modaco, has released the stock Gingerbread launcher modified for Android 2.2 in the market. Search Modaco and you should see it.
While it lacks the features of ADW and LPP, it's buttery smooth and very fast. The green actually looks pretty good as well IMO. Give it a shot, I think you'll be happily surprised.
Thanks Modaco for the app and Deliberation for the tip!
Works great, thanks for sharing.
I personally have found myself using Enom's custom launcher a lot more lately. Sometimes less is more and this thing is smooth as butter like you said! Thanks for the find and I think I will use this for a while and I was waiting for something like this to use on CM6.1 but couldn't port Enom's over.
It would be nicer if it had the 3d scroll like the stock nexus launcher

I agree however this was just a quick and dirty port. I'm sure within no time there will be custom launchers based on this that will incorporate many other features like 3d scroll.
Has anyone tried pushing the sdk launcher to see what would happen

The Gingerbread Launcher only has 5 screens by default. Any way to add 2 more screens for a total of 7?
So I have a crazy request.
I was wondering if miui,and sense could be combined. Not like a ROM,but more like a theme or something.

There's a sense theme for MIUI from the MIUI theme website, http://miuithemes.com/1382/htc-sense-miui-theme/.
I hope that helps.

Well see I'm looking for more like a sense ROM,with like some miui looks. Like the status bar,the icons at the top. Maybe the toggles and stuff. I know all of that includes framework this and framework that. But I was thinking since both work on an android phone,that some how they could be combined lol

You can make your status bar semi transparent, change the status bar icons, customize your notification drop down menu, etc... It's really not that difficult.
You end up with a nice little .zip file that you flash from CWM. Make a back up before flashing your theme!
As far as MIUI apps, notifications, etc. are concerned... MIUI is an Android Open Source Project based ROM, so the best compromise would be to heavily customize a Sense ROM to resemble MIUI or vice verse.
With the rate the developers here put up new ROMs though, I think something like you're talking about is inevitable haha.

So I'm doing some research on my next phone (currently rocking a Droid Incredible 1) and it will either be the HTC Vigor or the Nexus Prime. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime, but I love Sense, so I just want to make sure that there are people out there who create Sense based ROMs for the Nexus devices.
So are there any stable Sense based ROMs for the Nexus S?
No sense no thanks. You buy a nexus for the AOSP experience. If you want sense buy a htc phone.

Sense based rom ran into some hurdles, plus it's harder cuz unlike the nexus 1 it doesn't share the same hardware as an HTC phone...
For the Prime, we'd have to wait for a similar phone running ics, gingerbread might not run too well on it...

Ahh this makes the decision so much more difficult. I was pretty much set on getting the Prime because I figured it'd be an easy swap to put a custom sense ROM on it.
I really want to have the latest and greatest (ICS), but I also love my sense features (lockscreen, beautiful widgets, beautiful animations, etc)
what to do, what to do....
Yeah Rem3Dy said it all, but to throw my 2 cents in.
If you want a phone running Sense you should stick to HTC phones that come pre loaded with it. Ports can be cool, but it's hard to rely on them everyday as a daily driver they all tend to have their issues. From what I was hearing before leaving the EVO 4G forums, HTC should be developing a web app for consumers to unlock boot loaders in the future, so you shouldn't have to wait for exploits to enjoy root privileges on future phones.
Now if you want a pure Google Experience device then you should look into the Nexus line of phones. This is the way Google envisions Android and in my opinion, it's the best way to enjoy it. The Nexus line always has the latest and greatest with software updates direct from Google. This means when new versions are released we don't have to wait for manufacturers to upgrade their UI to to work with the current version of Android, no wondering when or if our device will ever even get the upgrade.
So if Sense is a deal breaker for you, you should probably stick with HTC. If you're intrigues by the Nexus Prime, wait till it hits stores and go check one out, I doubt you'll be let down.

When ics comes out you are going to lose alot of sense features. Look at honeycomb for example

Sense sucks balls, big time. It was the reason I rooted and flashed aosp on my Evo. Most htc owners try to get away from sense, and you want to install it on a Nexus??
However we like SEnse or not (I don't personaly, and sure thing is if you have a Nexus "something" is for experiencing the pure Android), it has been said several times by several great devs that it won't be possible to port any Sense like launcher on the NS.....
You can always install Launcher Pro Plus which has very similar widgets to HTC Sense. ADW is another popular launcher as well.
It's not just the widgets, but the sense 3.0 lock screen is one of my favorites!

Miui has the same lockscreens and looks & runs much, much better than any Sense rom.

There's a lock screen app called Agile Lock, which looks exactly like the HTC lock screen with the exact same functions as well.
You can pretty much find all things HTC in the market!

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an HTC launcher on a Samsung device?
Google gives me nothing and I really miss the Sense 3.0 launcher.
I already have those far from perfect skins and themes, but I want the real thing.
I want the carousel effect, the 3D effect, and the floaty lockscreen widgets.
I imagine that it can't really be all that hard, can it.
Can't it just be installed like all the custom launchers?
Or it could be extracted from a HTC ROM and placed in a Galaxy rom instead the Touchwiz launcher.
Anyway, I hope someone can inform me about all this.
I would like to know about this as well.

1. The launcher relies on the HTC Sense framework which refers me to point #2:
2. The HTC Sense framework is proprietary and closed-source .
So it is not possiele to just grab a random HTC sense 3.0/3.5 custom Rom and make it compatible with different hardware?
And if so, how are those custom Roms made in the first place?
If i find the time, i'm gonna experiment with this.

It's not possible even with same hardware , you may even get sued by HTC

Before this phone I had a HTC hd2 and it ran Sense 3.0, doesn't that prove enough?

I'm getting tired of blacked out everything......dialer, sms, settings, backgrounds for everything etc....
I recently bought a windows tablet and love the colors, fonts, minimal clean look. I like the look of the new ios for iPhone(but I HATE Apple). Also, I really like the way google now is themed. I'm looking to make my phone look something like that. I'm really in to the modern, clean, minimalist look.
I feel like the answer is some sort of theme, but I can't find one that I like. That is where I am hoping someone can help. I am currently running nova prime on Liquid Smooth 3.0.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
Are you rooted and custom rom'd?

I've tried MIUI and thats too close to ios and I hate not having a app drawer......What I meant is I like the color combos they use. I really love running liquid, slim and other custom ROMS. I'm just looking for something a little brighter I guess. Thanks for the input though.
No biggie, I just thought I would ask. Surely there is someone else out there who would like the same thing.
Try Avatar ROM...its aosp but with miui theming abilities
