Hey all,
I was wondering if there is a way to PORT Sense to AOKP so I can have a mix of both. I'd be willing to look into doing it myself or with some guidance. I'm buying my girlfriend a HOX soon and she likes the AOKP on my One V but at the same time, she (for some reason) likes Sense (especially the animated weather, clock, etc. widgets). If someone knows of a ported version of the Sense widgets (with the animations), then that would also work.
Thanks, worldindo1.
If it could be done, I think it would have already been done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

There is no aokp sense yet. There is a sense 4.5 port but it's very unstable. Buy her beautiful widgets. It has the big fancy clock and weather animations your girlfriend likes

It may be possible to port some aokp features to a specific sense ROM but I've seen someone try and port some sense elements and it isn't that easy to make each app dependant upon itself instead of the sense framework

The proprietary Sense features require a Sense base. No one has found a way around this and isn't likely to because the code for Sense is not open-source.
There are several Sense roms with AOKP elements.

If you want the actual Sense clock, you have to use the Sense launcher. No way otherwise.
However you could use HD widgets to get a Sense like clock and flash CleanRom Dev to get a Sense ROM with AOSP styling.

Or search for fancy widget. Its an exact copy of the sense clock minus the animations

Thanks for the tip! Just bought it and now I'm playing around with it myself.
Yeah i'd also like the combo aokp+sense. I must say mine n ur gf's thought are alike.
+1 for beautiful widgets. Use that and find a good sense theme for the theme chooser. There's like 3 or 4 in the android themes section here on xda alone. The average user wouldn't be able to tell the difference

Technically almost anything is "possible", but rohan32 explained the complexity of porting the Sense camera here, and I assume the same applies to other Sense apps and widgets.
Basically, the amount of work to port over Sense components makes it infeasible. And you would have to port the Sense launcher as well, as even on Sense based ROMs, if you ditch the launcher, you lose the widgets. At that point, you may as well just be using a Sense ROM.

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.
It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...
I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Is there a way to install the Sense Launcher 3.0 on Miui? I have tried all kinds of different modded launchers and I dont want a modded launcher pro or ADW I would like to have the real Rosie.apk Its probably in the framework so thats why all of the launchers I have used wont work. I was hoping someone would have a modded Rosie that doesnt require to be tied into the framework. preferably the new 3.0.
No. Sense isn't just a launcher. If you want the Rosie.apk on miui, you will need to have sense framework thus equalling a sense rom

No The Original Fancy Widget comes closer the sense clock than that one. The only thing is it isnt animated. Which I currently already have. If anyone needs it.

So I'm doing some research on my next phone (currently rocking a Droid Incredible 1) and it will either be the HTC Vigor or the Nexus Prime. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime, but I love Sense, so I just want to make sure that there are people out there who create Sense based ROMs for the Nexus devices.
So are there any stable Sense based ROMs for the Nexus S?
No sense no thanks. You buy a nexus for the AOSP experience. If you want sense buy a htc phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Sense based rom ran into some hurdles, plus it's harder cuz unlike the nexus 1 it doesn't share the same hardware as an HTC phone...
For the Prime, we'd have to wait for a similar phone running ics, gingerbread might not run too well on it...

Ahh this makes the decision so much more difficult. I was pretty much set on getting the Prime because I figured it'd be an easy swap to put a custom sense ROM on it.
I really want to have the latest and greatest (ICS), but I also love my sense features (lockscreen, beautiful widgets, beautiful animations, etc)
what to do, what to do....
Yeah Rem3Dy said it all, but to throw my 2 cents in.
If you want a phone running Sense you should stick to HTC phones that come pre loaded with it. Ports can be cool, but it's hard to rely on them everyday as a daily driver they all tend to have their issues. From what I was hearing before leaving the EVO 4G forums, HTC should be developing a web app for consumers to unlock boot loaders in the future, so you shouldn't have to wait for exploits to enjoy root privileges on future phones.
Now if you want a pure Google Experience device then you should look into the Nexus line of phones. This is the way Google envisions Android and in my opinion, it's the best way to enjoy it. The Nexus line always has the latest and greatest with software updates direct from Google. This means when new versions are released we don't have to wait for manufacturers to upgrade their UI to to work with the current version of Android, no wondering when or if our device will ever even get the upgrade.
So if Sense is a deal breaker for you, you should probably stick with HTC. If you're intrigues by the Nexus Prime, wait till it hits stores and go check one out, I doubt you'll be let down.

When ics comes out you are going to lose alot of sense features. Look at honeycomb for example

Sense sucks balls, big time. It was the reason I rooted and flashed aosp on my Evo. Most htc owners try to get away from sense, and you want to install it on a Nexus??
However we like SEnse or not (I don't personaly, and sure thing is if you have a Nexus "something" is for experiencing the pure Android), it has been said several times by several great devs that it won't be possible to port any Sense like launcher on the NS.....
You can always install Launcher Pro Plus which has very similar widgets to HTC Sense. ADW is another popular launcher as well.
It's not just the widgets, but the sense 3.0 lock screen is one of my favorites!

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an HTC launcher on a Samsung device?
Google gives me nothing and I really miss the Sense 3.0 launcher.
I already have those far from perfect skins and themes, but I want the real thing.
I want the carousel effect, the 3D effect, and the floaty lockscreen widgets.
I imagine that it can't really be all that hard, can it.
Can't it just be installed like all the custom launchers?
Or it could be extracted from a HTC ROM and placed in a Galaxy rom instead the Touchwiz launcher.
Anyway, I hope someone can inform me about all this.
I would like to know about this as well.

1. The launcher relies on the HTC Sense framework which refers me to point #2:
2. The HTC Sense framework is proprietary and closed-source .
So it is not possiele to just grab a random HTC sense 3.0/3.5 custom Rom and make it compatible with different hardware?
And if so, how are those custom Roms made in the first place?
If i find the time, i'm gonna experiment with this.

I'm thinking about switching back to a Sense ROM for the battery life and camera, but I'll miss a few things from AOSP that I've gotten accustomed to.
Is it possible to have the 4.2 Lockscreen on a Sense ROM? I know the AOSP 4.1 lockscreen is available on some of them. Having DashClock notifications on the lockscreen makes life so much easier.
It's not possible to have the AOSP notification shade on a Sense ROM, is it?
Is there a way to get the AOSP Browser on a Sense ROM? It's the fastest and cleanest browser I've used on Android so far. I've tried pulling the APK from an AOSP ROM and pushing it to /system/, but that just causes the browser to FC when I try using it.
Can I add the CRT screen animation to a Sense ROM, or has HTC made that impossible?
