i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.
i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense
I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!
i was wondering if someone could try porting sense to the sidekick, maybe from the salsa since thats default is in landscape or an actual sense 3.0 phone would be cool.
All of you people are making the Dev's run away from the Sidekick 4G , they were willing to do work without the actual phone & now there not doing anything . There is 3 thread's of these open now & it get's dev's upset when you ask ETA or a Request , If you want a HTC Sense look alike Download HeLauncher & use the HTC Sense Skin & get a HTC Clock .

You'll never have Sense on the Sidekick 4G. If the Nexus S is closely related then maybe, otherwise no. And just like Revolution said, there were people willing to do work without the actual phone. I was going to, then I opted to buy the phone but after seeing this community i decided, hell no.
Yeah from the looks of it I don't even believe well even see a gingerbread rom or miui or cm7 at this rate. What a shame because I feel like ill have to get the mt4gs now.

He wasn't asking for a ETA or demanding it or anything out of hand like that. He simply asked a question, it's his right, when people ask questions, it shows interest and points a direction for people to go in right? If devs want to go ahead and leave because of THIS then nobody is stopping them, however..i dont think they are obligated to do it and meet everyones demands and such, SO WHAT if someone wants something ROM related and makes demands and stuff? shoot, then go make it yourself, learn to develope roms. and if you cant, i guess you'll just have to deal with it right? a dev shouldnt leave because of a hand full of whiney people. nobody is MAKING them leave when they leave for THIS reason.
this is really annoying n iv searched for hours isnt there any page that lists all the inspire 4g ROMS in one place?its really annoying everything is so messy..n i would like to know about all the sense 3.5 roms for inspire 4g...right now i only know about rcmix 3d runny n beatmodbliss sense...are there others as well?n i wouldnt mind a list of all the aosp,sense 2.1 n sense 3.0 for inspire 4g if someone has it...would really b awesome!

A magical place where all the available ROMS are listed? Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this? Like making a section called DEVELOPMENT or something like that!
Seriously is It hard to click on the development section for the inspire and scroll down? In the title of the thread it will tell you what it is. If it doesnt then all you have to do it click on the link and read.
I got your 10 char right here
Agreed all the roms have titles telling you what it is aand a whole section of them to.
The development section didn't contain the rcmix sense 3.5 Rom for inspire 4g.there's too much mess there too...stuff other than roms.thirdly half the pages get updates days after the roms have been released.what's so wrong in asking for a page that has all the roms properly sorted n listed n updated..

We can't control when the Dev updates their thread or if they even post their rom in that section. You are more then welcome to start a list if you want. Keep in mind this is a Developers site and things are the way they are focusing on the developers.
I guess Ur right.but can u atleast tell me all the sense 3.5 roms available for i4g?

Sorry your just not making much sense. The development section has all the roms and yeah a couple other things like radio and gps tweaks. The actual devs of these roms update and control thier threads. So they are always up to date with the info the actual dev wants to release. The reason rcmix is not there is due to it being a desire hd rom. Yes it can be used in the inspire but it was made by a dev in the desire hd section. Talk to him if you want it listed in the inspire section.
Edit - sorry was typing as zel posted lol.

The 3.5 roms will be listed in its title. I think there is only 1 or 2 of them. Personally I don't use sense so I don't keep track. Most sense 3.5 roms will be ports from the desire HD which are pets from other devices as sense 3.5 has not and most likely will not be released officially for this phone.
Thanks for the help =)
Please keep all comments relevant to development status, beta testing, and resolving issues compiling I.C.S to avoid closure of thread.
This way if you are not developing you can read to keep up-to-date.
P.s: thank you to all our wonderdul devs working night and day to get us a stable build!

that's the ICS port's name that cannot be spoken about here
it's like Sauron's ROM or something
I wont post a link to the page, but looking at Kmobs Google+, he posted a few pictures comparing his Sensation and Galaxy Nexus.
-In one picture he shows the 'about phone' screen on both phones. On Sensation, it looks like there is a color gradient, however its hard to tell. So MAYBE they have hardware acceleration working.
-Also if you read the 'mod version' it says CyanogenMod-9.0.0-RC0-Sensation-KANG. I'm a noob and Im not sure if the mod version will tell anything, but it says RC0 so maybe its Release Candidate status?
-One last thing I noticed is he has the same widget running when he compares homescreen, so he is kind or mirroring the two, but the Galaxy Nexus has the camera shortcut on the homescreen and Sensation does not. Not sure if that means its not working on Sensation, or if he just didnt put it there
Mods: if I posted anything I shouldnt have, please feel free to delete the post and contact me. Im familiar to the rules for the most part.

lol. should compare date released and prices for devices. the longer the date the device was released and the cheaper price it is, it should have many devs and support for it. as our devices is quite new (not that new lol) but its like a decisive thing for devs really, if they want to get the sensation and create ports there or just go to the newest device there is on the market. but needless to say, we have plenty of devs here. its just a matter of enjoying whats there and being patient. so, stay on and relax

It seems like developement for the Sensation is slowly dying.Looks like all the good devs have jumped ship to newer phones It's kinda depressing since the phone is only 6 months old.I wish i could afford to buy a new phone every 6 months.

Sadly, but true....
We have a good collection of roms though, and we will be getting ICS regardless from HTC. I don't mind if devs jump ship.
Yeah, TripNiCE ROM is now Alpha 7.5, quite perfect and very stable.
It seems that we could have a stable release (or two if CM9/Kang release something too) till Christmas !
Hello fellow XDA-Dev Desire S owners.
So, it seems, that the upcoming FOTA update for the Desire S(Saga) will not feature the Sense 4.0, instead of it, we will be getting the Sense 3.6 and with it we will lose the beloved Sense 3 bottom menu bar in the stock HTC Sense skin and it will be replaced by the hideous "box" layout of the newer Sense UI
For me, that was enough of a reason to flash my Desire S and install the Endymion V3.5 ROM.
What do other XDA-Dev users think about this "update"?
This has been known for a while and to be honest I'm fine with it. In fact we're lucky to be receiving an update. If I were HTC I'd do the same. If old phones are updated to sense 4.0, who's going to buy new phones? Business is business.
I think the look is much sleeker as well. I prefer it
Also it may just be easier to stick to the off topic thread

I love the "box" (how u call it)
I always didnt like sense... this changed with sense 3.6 and 4
Written in bad english with my HTC Desire S
Afraid you may be alone disliking the 'box', I think it's a great step forward, making proper use of the screen space, with more icons
And as already said afraid that this is old news

For 1 the new ICS dock bar looks NOTHING like you described and as you pictured. our bar goes all the way to end of the screens. the 1 u pictured is sense 4a our new bar is elegant and beautiful. most people are glad to get rid of that old sense bar. For me its all about moving on and the newer the better. if u want the beautiful stock GB bar then DONT bother upgrading. Or u can simply mod your rom to have the old dock bar dont open a thread just to slag off a rom you clearly know NOTHING about
IMHO...Its nice with the newer looks..u get a lot of customisation option here...create shortcuts and folders...earlier sense seems liked it didn't used the screenspace provided..

Love the new ui
Been running the Primo 3.5 for some time and loving it. Then for a few weeks ago i reverted back to a 3.5 sense rom to get camera working. Even thou it runs and feels nice i think the new UI is nicer and more smothe.
One X is the **** but Desire S is the bombe
Just installed yesterday the Virtuous Saga 1.0.0, 'till now everything is perfect I could say, I'm navigating on the internet on wireless and listening to some music for about 2h, the battery went down only to 99%, I will come back in a few days with a (hopefully) positive feedback.

Think that the HTC update is a great thing that they are doing, too many times people are moaning that they cant get the updated version.
You can always run a Virtuous one though or even the the AOKP Ver 36 from tectas that is amazing
Why bother with Sense 3.6 if we have Nova Launcher? It's much more fast then this HTC bloatware named Sense.
I think the best idea for this thread, is to change the title to discussion of Sense 3.6 in general. That way more of us can engage into conversation, talking about bugs, and what we'd like tweaks we'd like to see implemented in future releases.
looks forward to it very much
Personally i loved the update, the battery is simply amazing and the issues that i was having with the usb are gone (flaky usb, when switching modes i had to click it thrice, regardless of ROM) the performance is swell and i think the camera quality ~might~ be better?
Even if we don't like sense 3.6, it just means that we're going to have more options soon (CM9, AOKP, MIUI, Etc..) which ALREADY run like a charm on our DS.
Cheer up people ^w^
