[Q] Sense 4 Roms? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Just wondering are there any Sense 4 roms for this phone? Or would that be not possible because it is not an HTC phone?

Is there something specific in sense 4 that you're looking to port over?

I have to admit - coming in with a history of Sense-based phone, I miss quite a few things about Sense - the email program, the calendar widget, etc. If there was a Sense-based ROM, I'd be all over that.
And before you point out K9 mail, don't bother. It isn't even close to the default Sense email app.

If my memory services me right then sense is a HTC thing and you can't get sense on other phones. That's what I think it is

Yup, just look at Beautiful Widgets. They pulled their app from the Market for months after getting a Cease & Desist from HTC. This was a few years ago, but it's still applicable.

My biggest gripe is that I can't seem to find a custom ROM that has everything - stability, a good calendar widget (that works and doesn't FC my entire launcher), and the better version of the stock email app (the one with the "peak" period settings)... Sense has all of that and more. *sigh*

The have a sense rom over at the T989. Last I check we are able to run T989 roms as long as we flash the conversion package.

Take a look at Android Pro Widgets in the Play Store.

I LOVE Sense but I haven't had an HTC phone for about a year, this has tied me over enough.
As for the clock, I use Beautiful Widgets with a free skin to get the Sense 4 clock, the only difference is the numbers don't flip.

I haven't looked but I'll bet you $1 that it's just a sense themed rom. I've done a bit of research on the concept in the past

[Q] AOSP dialer/contacts for ICS?

So now we're on ICS, rooted, ready to roll, and I'm trying to get the stink of TouchWiz off my phone a bit.
With Apex launcher, AOSP gallery, CM9 Music, etc things aren't looking so bad, but I'd really like to get the AOSP dialer/contacts in there. Anyone have an easy way to do that?
That would pretty much leave the app drawer as the only eyesore that doesn't fit, and we can fix that with themes pretty soon.

[Q] How much does Minfreemanager help multitasking?

So I have read several places using minfreemanager helps with HOX multitask issues somewhat. My question is to what extent? Can you say use web browser, answer a text, then come back to same spot? What about same thing with gaming, streaming music in background and using gps? I really really love this phone, AMAZING display and build design. I am even willing to deal with the 10gb HD, but I stream music, read ebooks and use GPS alot. I just left sprint and want this phone sooo bad. Any input or personal experience on the matter will be appreciated and +1'd thanks!
A lot of people looking, must be.wondering the same thing...

Well lots of people don't read the Q and A section and I wanted advice/testimony from a good amount of people. If you have a problem with it you can always simply leave my thread(s) or create your own forums and tell people what to do in them. Plus two is nice because someone always seems to come along a derail a thread...

Multitasking st of the active People here read both, the mods will just lock/delete/merge the thread anyways.
All I was trying to say is that having two threads with identical topics isn't necessary you noticed before u ported how this one had nothing useful but your other thread does?

Thanks for the heads up. Anyways..how's your multitasking after.flashing roms?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Cleanrom with the multitasking mod definitely helps a lot, but it's still not perfect. You can run more apps than stock, but some apps still reload after a certain period of inactivity. Without source, I think that's the best we have for now.

So you think its something that can be fixed with source? That's good then because I can wait.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
cleanRom with multitasking gives you 4 or 5 apps running at the same time..so thats pretty sufficient for me..anyway..you can also use aokp or aosp Rom based so that you can enjoy multutasking as it was suppose to be

This is your best bet for a Windows Phone-like experience on an Android phone. It's actually kind of neat. For a minute or two.
But if you prefer the WP environment, just hunt through the launchers til a good one stands out. Also, for this I'd stick with an ICS rom for the time being.

Anything is possible, its just a matter of how much we want it.
If we have lock screens from HTC and Blackberry phones, I'm pretty sure we'll get the latest Samsung one.

Really? I'm not sure your subtle hint at enormous riches for the dev who puts it out first will make the development move any faster?
Also,
The fact that we have a system dump from the International version will have little to no impact on our phones, aside from a few mods.

What's different on the S4 lockscreen?
I think he means the widget lockscreen, and if he is that's actually the whole 4.2 version port not just the lockscreen.

Not to my knowledge. I have been using it on my SR and my Nexus 7 from the day it was released, with no issues. What worked for me was to manually unsubscribe from all threads that were subscribed to from the old app, clear app data and cache, and then re-add all subs. Not a single issue since then.

I actually hate how much it lags. Also, if I remember it correctly, there's no way to view your posts. And when you visit a thread you'd visited before, it takes you to the first page again, which is very annoying. Not sure if this was even tested in the first place.
To view your posts, back up to the left menu, and choose "particiapted". As for the way it opens a previously viewed thread, you can go to settings and choose whether you want it to open at the beginning, go to the first unread post, or to the newest post.
