I was wondering if it'd be possible to port over the latest version of Sense from the Desire or Legend? I know it's a long shot but it's got to be easier than doing the whole of Android. New Sense looks awesome and it'd be great to have it on the HD2.
You want an Android UI on a WinMo device...?
I know it sounds a bit stupid, but the Sense UI on Android looks so awesome.

When you say it's easier then porting over all of Android, that's not really true. It needs the rest of Android to run. It cannot run under the Windows Mobile environment.

I understand that. Maybe it could be fashioned out of the current Sense on WinMo? Just heavily modded.

Now that sounds more feasible. Maxcy is doing some crazy things with Sense so you can pitching the idea to him.

Yeah I just stumbled upon his Max Sense, think that's the same guy. Looks very impressive. Probably send him a PM or something soon.

Hopefully, I quite like Max Manilla, he seems to know what he's doing so I can't wait.
i just saw this video and heard a rumor that the 2nd gen samsung moment running android 2.1 will have this UI built in it. looks amazing and super fast! if this is released could it be ported to the hero at all? looks like a great alternative to sense IMO.
thoughts?

ill try to find it tonight.
i've never tried it but i think it looks pretty sleek also.
although after having a moment for 3 weeks and returning it for the hero it will take a lot more than a sleek ui to ever get me to buy another samsung phone.
I heard that same rumor. I don't think there'd be anything stopping it from being ported being that it would simply be a home replacement. It my not even need to be ported at all.. just push an apk and some libs maybe.
That samsung wave is definitely not an android phone though.

TouchWiz
Did this ever get ported? Would really love to see this, as I really love it's interface. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I DID search the forums and google didn't come up with anything.
Its horrible. Been playing with it on our demo epic at work and its just bad. It feels really bulky and slow and looks cheap.
This looks cool, but kind of engineered to be over simplified. Reminds me of an iphone, but for kids. Haha
It seems like this version of touchwiz can be ported, but don't some things, like the toggles on the drop down bar, need edits to the frameworks to make them work? Seems to me like a Wave ROM would be a better idea to get sell of the features of touchwiz. I wouldn't mind that, as the Samsung lockscreen looks really cool. (slide in any direction to unlock).

I have an Epic and I am really enjoying the interface, would like to put on my Hero as well. If not the functionality, at least the format/color scheme would be nice.
HTC evo can run (out of the box) stock android w/ nexus launcher and all.
http://htcdev.net/topic/11584-sprint-evo-4g-working-without-sense-ui/
I don't know if this has been posted before, since I'm in a rush to prom I havent been able to check. anyways, htc has done another thing right. yay! haha
1. There is already a topic about this.
2. There is NO WAY to run the phone without Sense UI without installing a custom ROM. Sense UI is highly integrated into the OS. The video that you see is the EVO running launcher2.apk instead of Rosie.apk (the Sense home app). This is nothing new or exciting, so I wish people would stop making damn topics about it.
Hey man, you gotta understand i didnt search and couldnt search. Also, i know you cant completely replace sense ui on a stock rom but some people like the launcher2.apk better. So sorry for double posting bud

I always used to hate sense, but then after looking very close at this phone, I have to admit i love it now! Just getting more and more psyched for this phone every time i see it. I think if everyone took their time to look in to sense ui, they would end up liking it a lot like myself.

For many this is true. For others, I suspect there are multiple motivations for wanting a pure android. I suspect most fall into one or more of 3 categories.
They may want pure as the driven snow Open Source Android
They might want as few of what they don't need as possible for increased resources
They simply don't like the HTC and it's prettiness
To each his own. As long as you're on Android, we are on the same side. Viva La Evo! Viva Android! Death to Apple!
I like Android Sense. Makes the transition from WM6.5 Sense a lot smother for me
I dont think anyone would deny that fact that Sense looks amazing. I just want to shut it off to save my battery. From what i hear, sense is quite the juice hog.

You won't save much battery if you turn Sense off. Unless you just have pages full of self updating widgets or something.
love the 2.1 UI.im GOING for that instead of the SENSE
Yeah... I'm looking forward to a stock froyo EVO as soon as possible... best of luck to those with the skill to make it happen
Or at least sense with the stock 2.2 launcher. I actually like the default contacts and messaging apps for sense. Not to mention the clock is way better too, and camera has tap to focus. One thing AOSP has for me though is the look, the white and orange are very appeasing for some reason.
im jus hopeing HTC keeps their promise of updating the SUPERSONIC in july to FROYO 2.2(love the UI).gonna love the phone even more.

I don't think they promised anything at any date, other than that most handsets made after 2010 will get 2.2... no specific dates were set..maybe i am wrong and please link me if i am..

hhmm, goofy quote, I'll say that.
HTC Sense is "attractive", but not for everyone.
The first time I played with Sense was on a Hero ROM on my G1. Then again with the Desire ROM on my Nexus.
Even with the Nexus speed increase, it was definitely NOT sexy.
I really like the Plain Jane look of Android™ raw.

i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.
i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense
I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!
Even Sense already release 4.0, what other feature HTC should implement? What other smart or care feature you think HTC should provide?
There is too many feautures from normal ICS, that are not implemented by HTC. With no reason.

hey, honestly, when I had hd2 I hated sense...I tried miui, ics, and sense was so...simple...
now after some months I love sense, and I understood that is simple but you have everything
yes, maybe a little more personalization could be better, but...we have the best framework with amazing widgets and cool ui...everything works GREAT...
deeply....we don't need nothing more

Agree.
I see how people can hate Sense, seeing as the AOSP ROMs run very very fast, but at the end of the day if custom ROMs are about usability then the widgets included in Sense win me over. AOSP doesn't have task manager, no proper clock app and more.
