Hi guys, just like what the topic says. For those who like AOSP don't be an arse.. and start crap in this thread.
OK, i was about to buy LGX2 on 4/20 at full retail and thought devs might port Sense UI to LG cause i like Sense and other varieties rom like CM7, Miui, etc.. just like our phone MyTouch4G. But I wasn't sure, cause in the back head thought how come Samsung phones like Galaxy S, 4G, Nexus S don't have any Sense port? Only AOSP roms. So I did some research and ask questions and found out there's no way to port Sense to LG or Samsung due to close source. So if you hate Sense then you can get LGX2 or Samsung. But I want varieties Sense UI, cm7, Miui ill be waiting and get HTC phones.
PS: don't be a [email protected],I'm posting this for new users to know before making a mistake.

Not trying to be a **** but its HTC sense so I would assume that mainly HTC phones would have it yes it is closed source which I don't quite uunderstand since Google's all about the open source so why let something else just close it, ya know?

Just use launcher pro with a sense dock. Then use beautiful Widgets for the clock and widget locker for a sense look.

Well yeah, but it wouldn't be 100% Sense UI know what i mean? Plus i don't care what other says about sense is slow or what. not for mytouch4g 768 of ram And sense widget.
HTC Evo 3D will have GSM version
http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmcapable_h...-news-2451.php
Probably don't have HSPA+ 1700 Band,but who give a **** i hardly get over 3mbps plus sooner or later Tmobile will be AT&T anyways.
So..which phone do you guys CHOOSE?
HTC Evo 3D GSM Version or
HTC Pryramid?
Let the bashing begins... hahahahaha
Tegra 2 fails in comparison to the dual core snap dragons. I think nvidia announced tegra 3 quadcore on phones by summer. I'm waiting for quadcore dual cores wont are not going to last as long. As the single cores did. The mytouch 4g has alot of ram as well so don't expect it to be outshine their was a video on YouTube of the mytouch 4g vs the atrix and the mytouch was blowing it out of the water.

Yep, I don't think the "Sense is slow" argument applies anymore. Phones like the MT4G are so powerful, I don't perceive any difference in performance going from a vanilla ROM to a Sense ROM. And phones will only continue to get more powerful.
Sense isn't slow I like it pure sense not T-Mobile version. I run cyanogenmod simply cause it save my days with the g1. Now I run miui with launcher pro. I personally like sense look but it uses alot of resources. 80 MB vs 254 MB they really don't need all of that stuff running in the background. Miui team changes alot and the rom is simply no bigger than 80 MB maybe HTC should look into a simpler way to implement their features without such heavy frameworks.

Honestly, since you like the UI's so much just buy the unlocked Optimus 2x for $550. Its only $50 more than the retail for the G2x. Here's a the link
Hope this is what you're looking for! I'm considering it myself, but I always root but I do like the UI on the Optimus 2x. Decisions!!!!

It doesn't matter if it's unlock or not that's not the problems. HTC Sense UI is close source, you can never port any Sense UI roms to any other models except HTC phones period.

Sense UI can be ported and was ported, just not properly. There is a port for Galaxy S. The problem is regaining radio functionality - and on Samsung they didn't achieve it. On the other hand, it took time to get Gingerbread on Galaxy S too, so it might just not be an easy task.

It will be possible if some dev make Sense ROM
I look forward to that too This is great phone and with ROM's it will be ever better
Personally i have owned a HTC Desire and a Sensation which i still have but the desire i gave to my brother. But i love the LG's custom UI and would not change it for sense sorry but would try it if custom roms came out but overall the custome ui by LG is good enough for the LG i like it alot...
LG custom IU is good,but sometimes I just want some change and something eye candy like Sense it would be nice to have some ROM options so that everyone chooses what they like
sense needs 300mb free so I doubt it will work
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk
It would eat up your ram and battery more than what the LG custom UI. ...
I own both an htc and an lg phone, though sense is smoother and well polished i still find the LG launcher better cause its simplier and is the closest thing to stock android.

No,Evo 3D has Sense 3.0...but that's not the point...the point is that if HTC Magic with 528 Mhz CPU and 288 MB RAM can run it, then trust me O3D with Dual Core CPU and 512MB RAM will own it

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
having gone from Desire to Optimus 3D I can't say I miss sense at all, then again I always had custom ROMs or stock with a different launcher. I don't think there's a need for all the stuff HTC put on there to eat memory. I'd rather have a quick phone that did what I want rather than suff put there for me that I'll never use
I had a custom rom on my Samsung Portal because the original Samsung one was bloated and slow. The LG ui is fast, slick and works great. I'd suggest you just try first and if you don't get on with it custom roms will be here soon enough.

If you want this phone for 3d then the Evo isn't as good as the O3D, the reviews say the same the 3d effect isn't as good on the Evo.

And even though technically the specs are better (1,2GHz dualcore vs 1GHz dualcore and 1GB vs 512MB internal memory) the Evo3D scores quite a bit lower in Smartbench and Quadrant.

Exactly.. it now comes to the point which hardware design can utilize resource more efficient. It reminds me of our dessktop processors.. where an i5 and i3 processors are of same speed say 2.2 Ghz, but you know i5 will perform better than i3. So it looks like LG made a good bet on choosing the right dualcore cpu.
between, talking about UI, both sense and TW4 (SGS2) use up quite a bit of memory. So they need more memory for sure. I tried to use TW4 on SGS before, with the trim down port for SGS, I can only squeeze around 70~120mb free memory most of the time. While using the original TW3, I can manage to get 200~250mb free most of the time. There you can see why the extra 512 is needed.
You can always download htc keyboard, use sense ADW and a sense weather widget...
someone wants to trade my sensation for their galaxy s 4g and a itouch 3rd gen. is it worth the trade? hows the sensation compared to the gs4g? thanks

Gs4g is alright but you will run out of app storage if you like alot of apps, only has 344 MB free out of the box. That's like 700 MB less then sensation. And the gs4g screen does have a good screen but sensation is way better. The difference is darker colors are richer on gs4g, gs4g not dial core, gs4g is laggy even rooted with a custom rom, big step down from sensation I have to say. Personally I wouldn't trade. Sensation is a better phone and get a 8,16, or 32 gb SD card and throw ur music on it and that takes place of itouch. But its up to you.

The galaxy has an amoled display that is pretty much far superior to the one we have. The sensation just has a higher resolution. Although the amoled has a weird bluish tint to it. As far as software goes, the galaxy s ain't nothing unless you root it and throw ... Cm7 for example, on it. The graphics rendering is faster on galaxy as well. Sesation has better battery life and build quality.
As far as processor goes, people just got to stop buying into the while 1.5 ghz or 1.8ghz bs. Our sensation wouldn't be $h*t without faux's kernel. Plus, our phones being dual core and all don't mean much as well until android is written to fully take advantage of two cores. Hopefully android ice cream sandwich will do the trick.
Samsung has the worse software support on the planet, I came from an epic 4G, I know trust me. The sensation is better because of the awesome software our devs put out. Still a long way to go, but it gets better every day. I just can't wait for cm7 on this bad boy

but if u like sense and htc's build quality stick with your phone

GS4 is a waste stay away!
Yeah, need a new phone, but should it be the Sensation or the Evo3D? Gonna root the sh*t out of it, so I will keep that in mind
What do u prefer a 3D-screen or Full-HD camcorder?
I would say both phones are almost the same ... let the dice decide
Sensation comes with a dice app which is handy for choosing

I would agree with this, ultimately you're getting the same device under the hood. The Evo 3D does have 1GB of RAM, where the Sensation has HTC's favorite, 768 MB of RAM. Dual 5MP cameras to one 8MP cam. Both qHD, both 4.3 in screens, blah blah blah. Evo's battery life is worse than the Sensation's IIRC.
I have an Sensation on AT&T here in the states, and I'm extremely happy with it. But messing around with the Evo 3D at the Sprint stores makes me want one of those too lol. Both awesome phones, you can't go wrong really.
They are almost the same phone. You should ask yourself if you prefer Sprint or T-Mobile.
HTC Sensation. Period.
If you want Sense 3.0.. Then for sure Evo 3D Due to higher ram..
I assume Evo 3D is better. But its also more expensive.. But seems that sensation have more system support
.. evo 3D has 1GB of ram .. is the "more" really noticable ? i dont think so!
sensation will be better
Is it worth getting. I never owned a Samsung phone but I'm considering it. I'm tied of htc and the craps quality jobs they do with their phones. The dust, the reception, death grip, sense slowing down the phone and also keeps reloading everytime I hit the hone screen.
no dont do it!! now the prime that might be something that could draw your interest
If you have the sensation getting the s2 is a downgrade.
