Does anyone know how to pick features from other ui and put them on my phone. Like I have an HTC one XL and I would like to get the s-beam or milti-Window from Samsung toutchwiz but still keeping htc sense.

this is a semi ignorant guess/answer, so someone correct me if I'm off.
I think Android uses a lot of shared libraries (different apps access same common files) to function, and the ui can't have two different sets of same libs designed for different ui elements coexisting.
Also, the graphics files are usually mostly located in framework-res.apk and you would also have the same kind of issue there. You could try and amalgamate the two, but I think that is a really daunting task, since you would have to change tons of code to point to the new locations for the graphics/libs.
Am I even close, people? That's my guess. Lol

So I've noticed that we have three UI's to choose from. Sense, stock(ASOP) and MIUI. How come we don't other choices like touchwiz or Motorola custom UI?

That is due to none of those will work on devices not made for it. Samsung and TW. Moto and blur. HTC and sense. Hope that helps
I actually wonder if anyone has even tried to make it happen.

I'm sure they've tried many times on multiple kinds of devices (I know 2 teams that tried to port sense to the cappy I don't think they got anywhere near a stable release) its just a whole lot more effort than a rom made for your phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
its more than just the OS. those UI's arent just skins. they rely heavily on kernel support, and the framework is deeply integrated and dependent upon the core device. sense relies on it being HTC, TW relies on it being samsung, and blur relies on motorola....
Back in the day when I had the original droid i remember seeing a sense rom made for it. I never used it or even thought about it since it was pretty unstable. But I guess it is possible, just impracticle and way too much work for all the super awesome devs.
actually there is a motorola ui rom for the evo 4g.

No working data/wifi/camera, probably no working Bluetooth, its about the same stage that most of the UI ports get to before its realized that its beyond hope or the devs have worked on it so long that they grow tired of working on it.

Seems like a task that's more work than its worth. I remember there being a Sense port for my old Galaxy S but I don't think it ever left the alpha stage

So I see we have a great line up of roms here for our phones but I have yet to see a combo of CM7 & sense. I mean cm7 had its benefits but so does sense why not make the best of both world? Anyways just trying to introduce a new idea. Also sorry if this is in the Wong section.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No not it the wrong place. Let me try to answer this. It is kinda impossible because they are 2 totally different frameworks. Everything about them us different all the way down to the kernel. You can't necessarily merge the two. You can run senselike widgets on cm7. And you can take the sense out of sense roms but keep the contacts and what people do like about it. But it would be like combining a reptile with a mammal. They are just way too different all the way down and can't be mashed together.

Agreed ^
The framework is just too different. SystemUI files are going to cause a conflict if not the framework.
I think everyone have up on this idea back in the Hero days. There's a project called OpenSense, but I don't know anything about it.

What I meant is modding CM7 to have the ring lockscreen and recently open apps etc. maybe even add the launcher

Lockscreen, launcher, and every other element is heavily dependent on the sense framework.
If you change all the frameworks, the rom is no longer CM7 ... its sense

Easy.
Widget Locker has a "Sense 3" Slider what is a exact clone of the Sense 3 lockscreen, complete with all the animations.
As for Launcher, you can try GO Launcher(use Go Weather for the clock as well)
Sorry if this has already been posted here but...
Lee has created leedroid tweaks for the 'other' one x. Anybody with the skills over here on the 'good' side that could do something similar? I'd definitely be willing to test or help out any way I can.

It's a good idea and common sense include a link when referring to some other post/resources...
Who's Lee? What's leedroid tweaks?
You know what I mean?
Wow, I'll just leave it at that.

Basically, I'm talking about a GUI front end to mods for the xl. Things like changing the battery icon, percent, modifying quick settings, CPU tweaks, any other mods etc.

Good news is that after spending over a week or so digging into the framework to see what changes HTC did, I managed to undo some of the mods that HTC did, like kill(hibernate) the previous app after x mins, so now multitasking works for the most part like it should. I just now need to free up some more memory to able to run more apps simultaneously even tho I'm running the bare minimum for memfree settings
Goooooood wooooork

That's awesome. Thanks for the update.
this is awesome...even with the last multitasking mods, it still doesn't work as it should.
Very glad to hear this is getting better

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.
I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300
Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.

That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.
Decided to go with CM10 for now.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

has anyone tried seeing if the ICS version works on JB? Maybe its worth a go...
Well I'm back on Viper now, started to experience multiple problems on the latest build of CM10, will probably revisit it when its a bit more (although it is pretty good already)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
what do you like about sense so much? the camera app?
I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.
My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

for me its the whole UI, to me it just looks good and feels fluid and fast to use. Tbh I dont use camera app at all, if I want to take a photo, I have a dedicated camera...
My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful
