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???

I for one would love to see SENSE on the NS ans SGS phones.

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.

It doesn't make Sense

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

Gotta ask

Why is everyone using touchwiz and adding launchers??? The stock roms are huge. I understand ics is on the way but why has no one gotten at least a nice stock 2.3 rom no I'm not a noob no I'm not flaming but it makes no sense to me when we could drop a huge chunk of bloat by compiling cm7. I've seen a couple attempts that have since been locked or abandoned. Makes me sad. And now for the trolls lol

I really wish AT&T would stop screwing around it's customers. Don't get me wrong I love AT&T but they release SGS2, then the Skyrocket, and now next the Skyrocket HD. That right there maybe messes with alot of devs. They get started on one, then an upped version comes out.
I have to say though, the Skyrocket i727 is thankfully getting some love. Look up this guy "seanzscreams". He is truly awesome. He has pumped out about 3 roms, keeps them updated and replies to people having trouble with them. I'm running one right now and have not had any problem. Very stable and great speeds+battery life.

Why does everyone wants ICS so much?

Hey guys, I recently went into Verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. Its a nice phone, but what's so fantastic about ICS? I thought it was too dark, and really slow (at least the display model was). I've used sky-ics rom and I had to go back to StockMod.
So why exactly does everyone want it and ask about it? Personally I prefer touchwiz, its a lot more intuitive. The biggest difference I saw was the widgets displayed in the launched and the recent app tray thing. But its not like a game changer.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but just curious.

I think it's because everyone wants the latest and greatest. People are getting bored of Gingerbread.

ICS is built for dual core.

ICS is amazing

ICS is great. I love it on my xoom. Chrome beta is also worthwhile, much better than the stock browser. Also lots of little things make me want ICS.

I mean why not, having gingerbread is to mainstream.

I've been on a home brew UCLE2 based rom since it dropped and have been pretty happy with it. Only wish battery life was a bit better, but power save mode seems to make a big difference with that.

Its touchwiz. Don't know why everyone is hyped other than the kernel source being available.

Were either of you expecting something else? If you thought it was going to be stock ICS then you're either on the wrong board or purchased the wrong phone.
It gets really old reading all of this whining about Touchwiz. This is the SKYROCKET forums. It comes with Touchwiz, always has and always will. Frankly if you two hate it so much why in the world did either of you purchase this phone?
Some of us are quite happy with Touchwiz and are excited to finally be seeing a complete and fully functioning ICS rom that could run on our phones.

First off I knew it would have touchwiz I'm not an idiot don't treat me like one. You have your oppinion and I have mine the only exciting thing for me is source the rest of it for me is just an update
Edit: and btw we have aosp roms which means I can like this phone and hate tw

So even though you knew it had Touchwiz you purchased the phone anyway. That's great. Now we all know how much you hate it. Thanks for sharing this completely unneeded opinion.
I would like to ask, what exactly does this opinion have to do with the topic of this thread? As frankly it appears as if you just wanted to inject your negativity for no reason other than to rain on the parade of those that are excited about the update and are happy with their purchase of a Touchwiz skinned device.

Well, at best you're probably going to get a launcher that looks like Sense but the deeply-integrated stuff is never going to be there. If you want a true HTC experience ultimately you're going to need to buy an HTC phone. Odds are you'll end up flashing an AOSP ROM eventually though.
