Maybe, but the difficulty porting a custom UI from manufacturer to manufacturer is hard, basically you have to make one UI work over another with so many files it wouldn't even be worth it in my eyes, since Samsuck is notorious for having **** for software

A: no.
B: try a cm7 theme, or roll your own metamorph for the visuals.

the closest youll come to seeing touchwiz on this phone is the TouchwizzedB theme for CM7

the replies are funny. i guess what they are saying is that while yes it would be possible. the amount of work involved for a mediocre ROM isn't worth it

Well ........ Yes . But what the hell do I know

Cool! What phone is this from? I could be out of the loop, but I haven't heard anything about a Gingerbread phone with Sense yet.

Will this run slower than asop roms? I like sense but I don't want to sacrifice the beautiful speeds and battery life I'm getting out of royalginger 1.2

Very First Sense Rom For The G2X.

Am i the only one that would like to see a sense rom on our G2x? I think it would look pretty sick. I know we are early in the development stages, but do you guys think we will get one? If so what port or sense like rom would you LOVE to see on this device.
Sense was cool for a few days for me but i don't prefer it. Now i like the pure androidness But the g2x is pretty popular so i'm sure we'll have a sense rom.
There is a sense launcher

AFAIK Sense is built specifically for HTC hardware specs and there is no source code for it so porting it over would be extremely hard.
Just ordered the G2x , switching from blackberry
Hi,
I had enough of blackberry and enough of AT&T so im switching to Android . Soooo.. What is Sense rom and touchwiz?
Sense is the custom interface HTC puts on all their phones. Touchwiz is Samsungs UI. They do it to try and set their phones apart from one another in a market full of android phones. You dont have to use them though if you dont like them.

I'm pretty sure you can put the TouchWiz Launcher on any phone. I'm almost positive that I had installed it on my Nexus One but removed that crap within seconds.
I know for a fact I installed LG's launcher too.
Most of that stuff isn't anything but a bunch of fluff. While I prefer Stock, I do know that Sense is actually built into the rom more ways then one and you have to have the whole rom built around it.

Didn't they release a sense sdk and make it open source? Or did they just give devs tools/apis to develop for it?
i think

i think they jsut gave out an sdk to make apps that will only work on sense devices.
if you like sense try out go launcher. it has much of what sense does without the lag. the weather app and live wallpaper is as awesome as sense(maybe not as the new weather animations) dont know but they are pretty good.
kinda a mix betwen muiu/apple and sense. its a really good launcher and has all accompaning apps to go with it.
Not another freaking thread about sense rom's... (trolling moment)

A request in the development section....
G2X
sense 3.0 YES!!!!
i would love a sense rom on this phone! not a fan of gb or cm7. they are good roms but sense is nice and even if takes resources the g2x has plenty to spare, wouldnt affect much on it. my hd2 ran sense beautifully and as bad ass a phone as it was it wasnt quite the powerhouse i have now. sense would be nice addition to the rom dev for those of us who enjoy that type of ui.
thanks in advance to any devs that work on a sense rom for this phone
I cant believe ya really dont want sense one this beautiful phone >_>
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
+1 To this. A wide range of roms for a wide range of people is what we need on a phone. Sense brings a lot of features that stock doesn't have and an ease of use that people like. I'm looking forward to sense on the g2x,and miui, and gs2 twiz, etc. bring on the variety!
i would like to test different roms on this phone. i like miui, gingerbread, aosp, and sense. You know what i dont like STOCK. so lets bring whatever roms we can get to our side. If we didnt have ANY ROMS to flash people would be complaining. Be grateful. I dont really see what the big dispute is about. If you dont like it DONT FLASH IT. Problem solved. Some builds bring different things to the device. Gingerbread doesnt cover everything. Whatever rom is posted i flash it, if i dont like it i flash back. Some of you just want to be difficult.
Heck yeah I would want sense. CM7 is nice. If they get sense ported on here, I bet it will be faster than the sensation. The sensation only gets like 1300 in quadrant. Don't give me that quadrant isn't optimized for gingerbread cause it is. I'm sure this phone would be like 2000 via quadrant with sense added

I love CM7 but when I wanna show off to my buddies I'll flash a sense rom. So 95% of the time CM7 will be installed. I just like having alot of rom options. Also as many roms/kernels as possible.
what!
did he say hd2 ran sense beautifully? what magical phone did he have? lol

[Q] roms??

whats is the bestest rom for the g2x besides cm7, i hate their roms
I find myself being annoyed by your post... Decide for your self. Sack up and flash something! If you don't like it flash something else.
What are you looking for in a rom? Speed? Stability? Peggle? LG camera? HBO2go?
There is give and take in all the roms. I like cm7 but I like the LG camera. Can't have both right now, so I stick with speed and stability and run cm nightlies most of the time... tried them all at one time or another...
I gotta know... What do you hate about cm7?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
ive had cm7 for my hd2, my vibrant and im just board and tired of it, its ok though i got the eagles blood and it clockes was faster that cm7!
Lets start with this... why so you hate cm7 ROM? This way we can make better recommendations, as well as flame you, give you no-homo as well as homo love and know more about your usage preferences.

If you're bored and want something that feels completely different try MIUI. Its based on cm7 but looks and operates MUCH differently.

MIUI = My Android thinks it's an iPhone.
I personally don't like the iPhone UI so I would not switch to MIUI. If you like the look and feel of the iPhone UI give MIUI a try. If not, stay clear of it.

The only thing that is even remotely iPhone-esque about MIUI is that the stock launcher has no app tray. Use Go Launcher or LP if you want an application drawer. Otherwise it doesn't feel or look anything like iOS.
If you are bored with standard Android, you should absolutely try MIUI. Don't let some tool tell you not to try something. Even if you do decide you don't like it, at least you'll have made the decision yourself.
MIUI themes/lockscreens are enough reason to try it out.

Will android ever be pleasing on the eye?

Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.
Each to his own, I like the non gloss, but then I use the same windows theme that's on 98.. soo.. Just me maybe

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.
That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..
