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)

they have a sense like theme in the o2x forum
it has the lockscreen but no widgets and some other skins that layover n look alot like the new sense... its nice

Will android ever be pleasing on the eye?

Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.

Each to his own, I like the non gloss, but then I use the same windows theme that's on 98.. soo.. Just me maybe

I completely agree with you.
That said, MIUI should fix all of your problems.

Touchwiz is easy on the eyes so is sense in my opinion
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.

That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

Oh and this, I use Touchwiz

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..

Sense 4.0 ugly

Am I the only one who passionately HATES the new clock widget on the HTC OneX? Ugh... www.htc.com
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using XDA App

No you are not the only one. The new widget style is very awful IMHO!

thats the future

IMHO 4 is much more beautiful especially clock

Really?
I think it looks a lot cleaner and slicker.

i really like the new clock..however for the ones who don't like it there will be mods for it don't worry

I think it's nice that, after four years, HTC has actually employed a graphic designer to redo their user interface.
The previous Sense, all the way to version 3.6, was contoured, cartoony and outsized. Sense 4.0 is much more refined, less cluttered and has all of the gradient-bubbles removed so it looks a lot more professional.
I think the Sense 4.0 haters will be in the minority. Plus, the default backgrounds are being changed to some nice photos instead of that rainbow stuff on previous ROMs.
Small changes, but I like them, and it makes HTC look like they're actually evolving from what they started out with. One of the biggest gripes in the Sensation reviews was that Sense was fundamentally unchanged from the HTC Hero. Everyday users know this isn't true, but now it'll be more obvious.

I like the rainbow stuff to me it looks really nice

Don't get me wrong, I love some of the new wallpapers in 4.0, but that clock was literally a kill joy for me! I was AOL excited about sense 4, and I tried out trip's endeavour port, but was grossly disappointed. Not by the from, it is quite good, but the UI! The menu animations are really amateur looking, and the clock actually looks like a crappy imitation of the sense clock IMO ( *.*)

Definitely like most of it, (launcher, music player, etc. ) but those widgets kill me!

Glad you like it then, I'll stick to beautiful widgets I guess! I was just thinking, why do I really care, I haven't run a sense rom since trip's cm9 alpha came out!

That's not what I meant. I meant they've rejigged their design philosophy, possibly by taking on an outside agency, possibly by restaffing their interior department. I don't think a single person designs anything - graphic designer, in my post, referred to the firm or department that made Sense 4.0 fit better with ICS's design philosophy.

yes the only thing i don't like are the widgets style...we have work for the themers

Sometimes, these widget looks ugly but very usefull but the downside is taking up bit RAM as i encounter in previously.

Why would one use sense launcher??

Takes 100mb memory and looks depressing with its old layout and theme..

Because I love sense best android overlay out there
Quit trolling these forums

Theres hundreds if not thousands that would disagree with you. The sense launcher IMO is the most polished and smooth, I dont notice any lag like others claim. Just out of curiosity, what launcher do you prefer over sense?

Ive never really liked Sense until Sense4 came out. Sense4 is really nice, polished and fluid.

Cause its actually pretty good.
Free memory= waste.

Sense is alright, I prefer apex/nova

used to like stock android for past 3 years... but now.. i just cant go to the same boring looking of stock android after using sense 4
anyone with me?

Sense is more than just a launcher. it's a whole framework too.
Sense is the main reason I still buy HTC devices.
It's a matter of taste and opinion. If you don't like it, that's fine. Plenty of others still do.

This thread isn't very productive and it only lends itself to banterous flaming. Closing down.

[Q] Why doesn't the NS have touchwiz ROMS?

What's the reason there is no touchwiz for the NS? Is it just as hard to port it as any other phone regardless of it being samsung?

To be honest. People get the Nexus for the pure vanilla feel. Try Remics roms floating around.

If you want touchwiz, the apk is floating around somewhere. No full ROMs though. If you really really want it I can throw together a zip that adds the launcher and basic TW apps.

bcoz touchwiz is terrible and people prefer nexus devices for pure android experience... btw you may try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710681

I rly liked remics before JB came out! The gs3 touchwiz was great!!

because touchwiz sucks.
no really, what touchwiz has more than the stock launcher on ICS? only some little gestures nobody will use, a stripbar in the notification drawer (horrible) and thats it.

yeah TW i terrible, the only thing i really like about TW i weather widget

Touch wiz blows!..haha
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Touchwiz 5 isn't that bad. I went with nexus for the simple reason of google making sure the nexus' are a few steps ahead of any other phone as far as software. I don't think I can go back to 4.0.4 for the touchwiz feel because I'm addicted to JB.
