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)

MIUI? Unlikely giving the low level of dev support for the device. Maybe once we get CM9/10 working people will consider...even then..
Also this should not be in development...

MIUI is interesting, but does it really afford any advantages with a tablet? Do you use your 7.7 as a regular phone as well?

Both of those roms are for 6800 only. I'm using locerras cm9 which is great.
I've been using miui since sgs1 days and still using on my sgs3. Its pretty and more refined looking compared to cm9. No disrespect intended.

Actually I was using miui on my hd2 leo at least a year ago and I was impressed with it.

No progress with MIUI? Its will be super to have it on our device, I use it on my phone for more then year and really like it))

I need miui too!!!

MIUI would be nice. +1

https://github.com/MiCode
You are all free to do it.
Now seriously, if no developer is interested on working with it, no developer will work with it, and it won't be ported to the 7.7. Since MIUI has been closed source (despite being basically a fork of CM for a long time), people tend to dislike it. A lot. If you believe it's worth to port it, be aware that you either need to do it yourself OR try to convince some specific developer to do it.
I wouldn't hold my breath, though. Even the much bigger CM10.x has only a couple of developers on our tabs (three, if you count aorth who uses the very similar Tab 7 Plus and builds for the 7.7 occasionally).

Jelly bean

For those that have taken the leap and tried the new version of android, what do you guys think of it so far?

I think the early work some of the developers have done here has given us an early preview of what we are in for. It looks great so far, best and smoothest my nexus has been.
I think you'll get a better idea though if you read the threads found in the developers section. When reading a thread titled "jelly bean" I get all excited expecting to find OTA is here and ready to flash. Instead I'm leaving my opinion on an SDK based version of 4.1 I feel like a child who just found out Santa has still not been.

Honestly, I'm not noticing a drastic difference but I've only tried the port so I'll reserve my judgement until a full asop or OTA arrives.

im still on Gnex port with sevice pack4.
what i can say is, that for now im in love with JB...
Those animations, smoothness, speed, new notification[ although i would prefer i u could take a peak with one finger, instead of two, cuz u cant do it with one hand}.
MULTITASKING- first time since ive started using android, i can finally say; ITS WORKING- fast and smooth..
not sold for now on GOOGLE NOW, ive found it not useful for me at all, i would like it much more interacting with other apps.
BTW jelly bean will shine on new phones, our is bit outdated ...

Can we keep all JB releated posts into the one JB related thread here --> Jellybean Countdown to OTA Thread: Nexus S Edition
Thanks.

[Q]Is it possible to "backport"?

Hey!
Would it be possible to port an older version of android to galaxy s plus?
Such as froyo (2.2) for galaxy s plus?
Why would i like that? Cause it needs less resources and i think the phone would be faster with a smaller OS

Maybe you are right....phone maybe faster with a smaller OS...
But...how many human in this world like to use old thing as newer, better thing already made available for us?? maybe only <= 10%???
Just my personal opinion and it doesn't point to anyone anything~

Still it would be interesting to see how it looks

Why development section?
Howver, I think, maybe it's possible, but noone should do this, it's a stupid think...why there is developping for port 4.0.+? Because is "development", and not regress. New OSs are better, it's normal.

Erm...Couldn't say so...This will be more on personal interest...
For me, I like GB for its overall stability as Samsung provides us the official GB ROM
However, compared to user friendly, better outlook I will choose ICS as my main choice although there are still lots of minor bugs waiting to be solved by our developers but I already love it so much^^

That is, obviously, just your opinion. I don't think GB is so much better for our phone than ICS, not even just a little better...
And yes, I think would be a great exercise try to port some old version to our phone, but just for learning or entertainment. I don't think no one would use it for daily use really.

i like the white status bar in froyo
would be really great :good:

If you like Froyo use your Galaxy 3. Or do your own Port of Cyanogenmod 6.2

[Question] ROM(s) with 4.2-like notification/quick-settings dual pulldown

Does anyone know if there are any ROMs out there with something similar to the notification/quick-settings that will (possibly) be on 4.2, dual pulldown?? I thought I saw one, but can't remember which one, or where I saw it.

That is something ENTIRELY different.

I understand that it was just shown off today as a part of 4.2...... I also know that there has been some videos floating around that showed off an early build of this feature, and we have some amazing devs here, just thought someone might have cooked something similar into their ROM.....and yes, I did see one that did, just don't remember which one!!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

When the 4.2 source drops, then we'll start to see it integrated into AOSP roms. Until then... probably not going to happen.
