[Q] Sense 4.0 for Verizon GS3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Does anyone know if there is any Sense 4 for the Unlocked, Rooted, Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII

No. We will probably never get it either. Unless you attempt the port yourself

there is a project called sense4all i believe, it is for all galaxy devices. try googling that

just use the sense4 theme on an aosp rom, it gets you the look. Most don't miss the functionality. Huge app previews on app switcher? There's mods around to do that. Lock screen copycats are available on apps as well. Can't think of anything else to miss.

I still don't understand why people want sense....... its the worst skin in my opinion .....

Sense has a few nice parts, like it's People app, folders etc. But yeah, TW is better

I always liked Sense, but it has too much UI lag for me. But we'll never see that on a non HTC phone now, way too much work, too complicated, and to most devs that could do it, not worth the effort

Never EVER thought I would hear someone say TW is better...Lol I think it's just inherent to all phone owners to hate whatever ui is on their device and want the others.

I like Sense better in regards to "out of the box", however, until HTC starts putting decent sized (removable) batteries on their Verizon phones..... Well, I now own a Samsung.
Now that I took the leap to root and customize it a bit more, I may change my mind about which I prefer later. I'm not a fan of "stock Android", but Touchwiz seems to offer a little bit of both worlds.

Plenty of people and reviews say that. I had an Evo before my S3 and Im very familiar with Sense.

You hit the nail on the head. Opinion, others opinions differ from yours an my opinion's. You see, believe it or not. The world does in fact not revolv around one particular human. Well, maybe it does revolve around me slightly. But thats not my fault. I'm just that cool.
Any way, all joking aside, I like Sense. I miss my Rezound because of it. It in "my opinion" would be wicked cool.
Shoved a tomato in my trousers and punched my self in the foot. Cucumbers get fluffy @ the speed of sound.

Yeah same here. I'll admit Sense can be laggy, and the huge previews for app switching is silly, but TW is an eyesore, Sense looks loads better in my opinion.
Then again I started out with an HTC phone and have stuck with them so, there's that.

Came to sammy from an OG Evo and sprints crappy ass service, I too lean towards sense, I just use go launcher with sense 4.0 theme and android pro widgets, I swear its almost an exact clone except I can't find a sense 4.0 clock.

[Q] Attn Devs: is HTC sense possible?

Developers:
Are any of you working on...perhaps HTC sense 3.0 for the G2X? Is it even possible?
Try searching, this has been asked before.
The short answer is: No. If you want sense then get an HTC device that has it natively
Its actually possible. Its just up to a team of developers to spend countless hours and maybe even months to get it running. I had a Nexus S and it worked, but it was in the beta stages so it wasn't so smooth.

If and when I get a g2x I'll take a look
yes ! but we first need official 2.3
And now that we have a 2.3 release? Anyone working on this perhaps? Just asking. I love Sense but my G2x was free... Sensation 199 under contract. Don't have that at this time otherwise I would definitely have the Sensation. Not that there's anything wrong with the G2x it's a beast. I just really like Sense.
Why don't you just install MIUI? It's comparable to Sense... Except it's better optimized... Sense is a resource hog.
That's true. Sense is a bit if a hog on the system. Where can I find MIUI? I looked through the forums briefly and seems like its not official yet. I did manage to get HTC IME though. That was a huge factor for me. As I do ton of typing on this thing.
While yes, we do have 2.3, we don't have the source code for it. That's what's needed.
It's possible, but going to be very time consuming.
The version 1.8.5 on muiu.us is a pretty stable version. I'm running it currently and happy so far. It is a work in progress however.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. It was ported to the Galaxy S using Cyanogenmod 7 as a base, lots of things broken though.
Yea it would be nice to have a rom w/ sense .....just to say haha! But Really...I have beautiful Widgets n its kind of like having a fake sense homescreen. Or at least port the best of sense to the g2x...would be lovely ...& no I don't want an HTC phone!

I bought my Hero 10/09 as a xmas gift to myself. Lol. It was my first touchscreen phone, and it was terrible. Lol. I had to root it and flash a ROM just to make it usable. Clearly, the dev community is not big on SUI, but I for one miss it. Terribly.
At this point, I've pretty much made up my mind. I'm just trying to decide if I want to sell my G2x or cancel my service with TMo altogether and wait for the HTC Ruby to drop, as I'm a pretty new subscriber. I might be waiting a while, though, cuz I never buy phones at launch. Too many bugs. So that's the only thing with that.
I had the hero too before I knew about rooting.
It was slow come to think of it.
But I really think this phone can handle sense. The g2x specs are up to par and it has handled anything (rom apk cam port etc..) pretty well.

Itll get rooted, but bootloader is locked. With the recent breakthroughs on the Droid X with second init and getting CM7 working, count on aosp working at some point on the Photon also. Motorola may even unlock a few months down the road since they promised no more locked bootloaders.

Most likely getting my Sensation tomorrow!

I've really been itching to get back to a 4.3 inch screen after sacrificing my EVO, and I'm finally starting to feel the age of my MT4G. Cannot wait to get into the new dual-core scene, and it looks like S-OFF is almost here! I found one unlocked and brand new for less than $450 (should come out to an even $200 after selling my MT4G), and I get to examine it in person before I commit to buy! Can't wait!
Nice! The big screen def. is alot better, I too came from the MT4G. I think you getting it at the right time, looks like s-off is just around the corner.
Oh yeah another myTouch user to the sensation. Welcome.
The first time you play with the phone, you're going to be amazed at the screen resolution. It took me 2 days to get used to it.

Battery lifes great if you tweak the settings and such and then if youre feeling brave you can try temp rooting it. Then disabling all the bloat and sense launcher. Other then that the screen is really nice! Coming from a htc hero the difference is staggering obviously

When's the last time you actually used it? I thought the same, too, until I actually started using Sense. Are you just saying that because it's the cool nerd thing to say or because that's how you actually feel after using Sense?
And Sense is not just a launcher or a skin. It does a bunch of great things CM doesn't just yet.
I bought my Sensation with the intent of just slapping CM7 on it but in a way, I'm glad S-OFF isn't here yet. I would have probably jumped right back into CM and LauncherPro and not given Sense a chance. I'll stick with Sense for now. It's pretty good.

I used Sense on the Hero, EVO (until CM), the MT4G (just for a bit to see what Sense 3.0 looked like when it was released), and now I'm being forced to use it on the Sensation. I can confidently say that Sense ROMs absolutely suck compared to CyanogenMod, and I would never use one given the choice.
Please list the "great things" that I can do with Sense but not CM. So far I've only found the ability to drain my battery much more quickly.

Sense slows down your phone's performance and drains the battery much too quickly. List ANY widget that HTC makes, and I will give you an alternative for use with ADW or LP (which both blow the Sense launcher out of the water in terms of the ability to be customized).
What does cyanogen mod do that sense cant? Apart from giving you an incredibly laggy launcher from adw.

1. You can use ANY launcher with CM.
2. ADW's default settings make it laggy on some phones. Easily fixed by changing them yourself.
3. Here are just some of their advertised main features. Not including things like native tethering, native screenshots, full Bluetooth compatibility, and you can read the rest yourself.

Sense or no sense

So I'm so confused .

It's bloated and takes up more RAM. The visual appeal does not make up for its relatively poor performance compared to AOSP ROMs.

Its not as customizable as I like. I like having a dock with 4 apps that I can change and I also like having the ability to change my icons so I use ADW. Purchase ADW EX from the market and you will not be disappointed. Its like having a grand new phone. It will be the fastest thing you've ever seen. Sense has too much eye candy which makes the UI nit as fast as it could be.

It's not that people hate it, it's a very nice UI, but it lags a lot especially on the sensation. Sense takes up to much memory.

You are correct, except the excellent performance of the GS2 comes in a pathetic, cheap candy plastic shell. Personally I got the Sensation because I was a fan of the design, and have a preference for LCD over AMOLED screens.
No phone will be all things to all people The first thing I did was stick LauncherPro on the Sensation. My stock ROM (Telstra version) was horribly laggy, and performance way under what I expected. Now at least it's fluid enough for everyday use.
YMMV of course, but Sense 3.0 to me is way too heavy on the eye-candy and doodads, while offering little in terms of an upgrade over 2.1. The lockscreen is its one redeeming feature

Galaxy S2 - $800+ , have to import, who knows about warranty.
Sensation - $150 with contract, available in store, warranty.
I bought Sensation because of it's hardware and looks. Stock build is utter disappointment to me. I will happily admit that I had less lag with my single core MT4g with stock rom or CM7 rom and, IMHO, Sense 3.0 it it's current form is the only thing to blame.
For me, Sensation without Sense is just not right. I'm not exactly sure what people mean by lags. I've tried AOSP and MIUI roms and in all honesty, the difference between them and Sense is hardly noticeable. On a beast like the the Sensation, now that we have root and S-off there shall be cooked roms with Sense that will simply fly. In any case, the polished look of Sense 3.0 and its fantastic widgets are simply worth any so called lags, which I am yet to experience, from HD2 Android, Desire HD and now Sensation.

I know I'm not along when I say I like pretty much everything about Sense except the launcher. Luckily that's the easiest thing to change and you don't even need root. I installed launcher pro day 1 and still get to enjoy the sense lock screen, dialer, etc.
No Sense for me is like Non-sense

Sense roms are usually well over 200mb. With Sense you're lucky if you have 100mb of free ram with no other apps running.
AOSP roms are usually around 100mb. With cm7 I have 280mb of free ram with XDA app in the background.
AOSP roms fly compared to Sense and I actually prefer the ui of pure Android.

No matter how much the devs optimize sense it will still be much slower, far more bloated and barely customizable in comparison. Having some cute weather animations isn't worth it to many of us who bought it purely for the hardware specs knowing that as soon as root came around sense would be happily replaced with a AOSP ROM.
Coming from an iPhone I can see why you prefer a lack of customization in place of a little eye candy. It's what you're used to and your preference. Some people buy Porsche for its 0-60 time and others because of those sexy curves, It's just preference.

i hate sense, it just doesnt not look current. It looks like it was design in 2005 which probably was.... First thing i do on an android phone is put launcher pro... The performance changed completely. I cannot wait to put CM7 on mine because even with sense on this thing and launcher pro its still not as smooth as my Nexus one was...

I have to say jelly bean blows this sense bs out of the water. I cant wait to have it on my one x, mostly just to use Google now. Its so nice and fast and actually useful. I can set all my alarms without even looking at the phone!
Holding out for source code. Hopefully it will comes quickly. Having come from several previous htc devices, I should be used to this long wait for source bullshhh by now.

Because a lot of us are just in it for the hardware. I don't want a Nexus (though I have been quite tempted) in fact, the ROM I *want* to use is MIUI. However, since we do not yet have kernel source that is not 100% ready for me and I also don't want to lose the Sense burst camera.
I don't hate Sense, in fact it was my first Android experience (HTC Aria) when I first switched to CyanogenMod, I thought "Where did my beautiful clock and Facebook widget go?!"
Then I got over it. If one doesn't take advantage of a majority of the things that Sense has to offer, they simply have no reason to keep it on their phone. I fall into that category.
I promise, if there had been a version of the HTC One X without Sense, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. It's the most beautiful phone screen I have ever used, and I like the general design. My only complaint is no memory card slot.
What you're saying is: If you don't like Touchwiz, don't buy Samsung. If you don't like Timescape, don't buy Sony. If you don't like Sense, don't buy HTC, and if you don't like Blur, don't buy Motorola.
It isn't that simple because some of us dislike them all. I happen to fall into that category, but if I have to pick my poison it is definitely Sense.
We buy the phone despite Sense because we know that there will eventually be the opportunity to remove it.
It's great hardware, and Android devices are rarely stuck on the manufacturer's software
Thanks. That sir is a good answer. Ive been asking people y they would buy a phone knowing its sense, and then complain about it. Just funny 2 me ya know. ;-) but i got flamed for asking the question...........even got called a troll!! Ha ha ha!!!!! Funny!!!!! But ya man, thats all they had to say, instead of getting all sad, and calling people names!

I buy htc solely for hardware. Been doing it since the apache. Using custom roms since the touch pro. Like the hardware. Don't mind sense but would love to do without it.
Plus I hate how sense has to add notes to all my contacts.

Same here. This is the sexiest device on the market by far. A little low on the internal storage, but this is like saying a 10/10 drop dead gorgeous model isn't any good because her titties are only a B cup.
I was hoping we'd have the kernel source by now so we could get some real custom ROMs on here and not just modded stock ROMs. I do appreciate the mods and hacks but I'm talking about CM9, AOSP/AOKP, etc. Very disappointed with HTC because of their constant neglect. Almost thinking of selling this device and getting a Galaxy Nexus again.
Ok maybe i should have asked.......y do people complain about having sense knowing thats indeed what they bought. I love sense, and sense 4.0 is sexy!!!!

Haha once again, pretty much for the same reason.
I think a lot of us expected to be Senseless much sooner. This is my first rendezvous with HTC in quite some time.

Same as posted before, I bought it because it was priced well, and I don't care for any manufacturer overlay tbh. My first android was the original evo, loved it, but then I found cyanogenmod, and loved it even more. That's what's great about android you can get custom roms, and have it the way you like it.
Also sense has changed a lot lately it use to be able to multitask just like default android, but HTC in sense 4 changed that which, imo, is a reason to be able to complain. Why change something that never had a peoblem.

Have you tried a 100% working cyanogenmod, or miui? Your mind might change if you haven't.

Thanks I don't really think there is anything wrong with Sense 4.0 in fact, I like it. I just know that I don't use it.
I'm going to use Apex or Nova Launcher for sure (I frequently swap between the two) then I lose the Sense widgets.
I would rather use Widget Locker so the Sense lockscreens (despite being pretty cool) become useless. (Not using WL now though because of the multitouch issue it causes)
People just want to get the extra memory it uses back. You're right though, Sense 4.0 is pretty nice in my opinion. Not really much to not like, but if you don't use it it turns into wasted resources.
and I think everyone has to admit, the Sense camera is delightful

Shut up. Jesus Christ.
We complain about sense because we don't have the source code and its a memory hogging skin. If we had sourcw code, wouldn't be an issue.
But seriously. You're annoying.

Nope, you're annoying because you quoted the same person on the same post in two different posts and still added absolutely nothing to the thread.
I personally like Sense, definitely a whole lot more than I do touchwiz since I came from a Samsung Captivate. That being said, I am very interested in trying out a complete "Google Experience" with Jelly Bean.
