[Q] Why doesn't the NS have touchwiz ROMS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the reason there is no touchwiz for the NS? Is it just as hard to port it as any other phone regardless of it being samsung?

To be honest. People get the Nexus for the pure vanilla feel. Try Remics roms floating around.

ew. Touchwiz. Consumes even more ram, I'd rather have speed and smoothness over... touchwiz :s

Because touchwiz is like herpes for Android.

And Sense is the gonorrhea

If you want touchwiz, the apk is floating around somewhere. No full ROMs though. If you really really want it I can throw together a zip that adds the launcher and basic TW apps.

Like mentioned above... look for the RemICS ROM floating around these forums... it has a lot of galaxy s 3 features including the tw launcher with the beautiful weather widget...

bcoz touchwiz is terrible and people prefer nexus devices for pure android experience... btw you may try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710681

I rly liked remics before JB came out! The gs3 touchwiz was great!!

because touchwiz sucks.
no really, what touchwiz has more than the stock launcher on ICS? only some little gestures nobody will use, a stripbar in the notification drawer (horrible) and thats it.

yeah TW i terrible, the only thing i really like about TW i weather widget

Touch wiz blows!..haha

Touchwiz 5 isn't that bad. I went with nexus for the simple reason of google making sure the nexus' are a few steps ahead of any other phone as far as software. I don't think I can go back to 4.0.4 for the touchwiz feel because I'm addicted to JB.

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)

New soon to be owner, quick question?

hey everyone, just signed up for xda so here this goes. i am getting a samsung infuse later today, and i was wondering if there is a theme to make it look like the htc inspire. if so could you name it and maybe post a screen shot? thank you
A Sense theme for the Infuse? Nope. You'd better dust off your themeing skills and jump on it!

Why would one use sense launcher??

Takes 100mb memory and looks depressing with its old layout and theme..
Because I love sense best android overlay out there

Theres hundreds if not thousands that would disagree with you. The sense launcher IMO is the most polished and smooth, I dont notice any lag like others claim. Just out of curiosity, what launcher do you prefer over sense?
Ive never really liked Sense until Sense4 came out. Sense4 is really nice, polished and fluid.
Cause its actually pretty good.
Free memory= waste.
Sense is alright, I prefer apex/nova
used to like stock android for past 3 years... but now.. i just cant go to the same boring looking of stock android after using sense 4
anyone with me?

Sense is more than just a launcher. it's a whole framework too.
Sense is the main reason I still buy HTC devices.
It's a matter of taste and opinion. If you don't like it, that's fine. Plenty of others still do.
This thread isn't very productive and it only lends itself to banterous flaming. Closing down.

Do you like TouchWiz?!

So far, I installed TouchWiz, the Launcher for Samsung galaxy smartphones via recovery
Personally like this feature/mod! It's not laggy and it gives me 1 clock widget from Samsung, but deletes my current clock widgets...
Style is beautiful, but don't gives an Icon Pack!
Do YOU like TouchWiz on Htc ville ?
Send your homescreens with it

I hate TouchWiz. Maybe that's also because I hate Samsung devices in general
My common configuration is a Sense based ROM without Sense. In fact it's without the Launcher (Prism.apk).
As Launcher I use Nova. Love the combination of speed and animation with it. Also it's very low on power consumption. TouchWiz also has a very stock look but I dont like the design elements in settings, notification bar and so on. The extra features it provides I dont miss... with Xposed Framework I get everything I need.
I really don't like the touchwiz too. Sense 5 is perfect for me
Imo touchwiz looks like a 5 year old made it in art class in the last five minutes of class I love how sense looks it's a really nice ui
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 4
No. Too cartoonish and immature looking. That's one thing why i don't and will never buy a samsung device.
I'll stay htc and sense. Updates doesn't matter much to me since why, in the first place, are we here in xda?
I cant even think of the immature touchwiz UI after using sense for the past 3+ years....
Recently switched from HTC One S running Sense 5 ROM, to the Galaxy S4
I dont mind the look of the icons, it's not like I'm staring at my screen 24/7
Sense has nice features, but I prefer TW in that department
It's like a fight
Sense 5 Launcher vs TouchWiz
I'm for sense 5 launcher^^
Back to topic:
Yea it's made "easy" but it is still good ;o
I don't know how to create a launcher, so I can't say much pros and contras ^^

Whenever I talk about Samsung like that people get upset, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone in thinking this !
(The only point I can concede to Samsung is the regular updating of their devices :angel
why i´ved buy a htc?? because i love this phone.... and i don´t like Samsung... it´s a plastic-kiddies-phone... (S2-S3-S4)
