I'm 99.9% sure it can't be done. Even on other HTC models it's already very hard to port over, much less a different brand of phone.
hello Sir , so you can do it and send it to every one ?!

In the immortal words of dumd and dumber
" so your saying theres a chance"
what about just porting the touchwiz and the parts it needs at first then the rest of the os
I think due to the Galaxy S being an hdpi device it would be a near impossible job of porting it to our mdpi Hero. I think the nearest you'll get is a theme. I currently have a near complete framework port of all the images, scaled and re-9.png'd it looks cool but it's still not the ROM is it.
I wish I could do this for all Hero users too. I saw my coworker has bought a samsung galaxy. This device is really fantastic. Also its customized andriod system is very impressive. For instance the overview of desktops. Not like HTC, all desktops are reduced to a almost unreadable size but are aligned in one line. The menu font can be changed. The contact list looks more like iphone style. For me, the buttons in HTC sence look too bigger. This will also minus some points.
I bought my HTC hero last october. But the device has been slighly dropped to ground twice but looks optically very terrible now. And the microphone in headset does not work properly. Generally speaking the HTC qulity is not quite confident to me. Plus the attractive samsung software, I am now heavily considering to switch to samsung. (Smartphone is a great thing. I cannot help to wasting more money on it)

Well the themed framework should run on any 2.2 Froyo ROM. But to achieve the look you need to be able to change the Clock, Date, Notification text colour etc... like in CM6 or Fusion.

Maybe best to try on non-Sense/Vanilla ROM.

I have tried it and it does run, but there are some alignment and graphical issues. This would be due to the resolution it was meant for, Nexus and the like. This guy over here - http://forum.samdroid.net/f42/touchwiz3-launcher-spica-mdpi-screen-1615/ seems to have scaled a version down to fit mdpi devices. Not sure if it works but gonna give it a go. If so, the next cool thing would be to see if we can get some of the widgets to work with it.. ? :S

For those who follow him on twitter, this will come as no surprise , but dev HtcClay has traded his Slide for an HD2 so he's left us. Still a good guy tho He did leave us with a masterpiece tho. (To clarify, I was given personal permission to release this so no one get upset
He gave me a copy of his last rom for the MyTouch Slide. I present to you SuperRemix 1.0. Its a Espresso/Sense rom without the rosie, but WITH all the HTC apps all themed up (dialer, people, etc.) THIS ROM IS FAST, and its beautiful. The only issue is a soft reboot when you try to power down. It may have something to do with the ramdisk or settings.apk , however Its beyond me. I do plan on updating this, but I figured I'd drop it to you guys sooner rather than later because its damn awesome as-is

thats true the hd2 is WM, but the android builds for it has gotten real stable and reliable, i have used the hd2 with android on it and it was great, would have kept it but i also like having a Qwerty keyboard.
does the htc widgets work on this rom or just the htc apps?

the soft reboot has been an issue since he did his first remix of SlideMR1... it also does it when you flash the .zip to change the lock-screen from the Slide's stock style to the vanilla style on Eugene's regular SlideMR1. not knocking Clay's work just wanted to give ya the heads up to help ya track down where to look for the fix.
Will have to try this one out, especially since it has those htc apps I like.
This is the best 2.1 ROM out there! I've been running it for a while now and have not had any problems at all! It's SUPER FAST and beautiful indeed! Thank DEVS for your hard work!

haven't had any market issues yet and been running it for a while and as for the lockscreen it is clear so whatever you were doing before you locked the screen you can see it! you should be able to change the background and that would help!

Thanks Clay, you effin' traitor! Nah, really...your work was appreciated by many, and good luck on the HD2. This rom's just what I wanted! Rock on!
Almost there!

You have GOT to be kidding me, right? It's easy, bro. If you look at Settings, SD & phone storage and then look at SD CARD...take note of the TOTAL SPACE. If it's the amount that you partitioned it to have less than what's USUALLY there, you're good.
This question could have been EASILY researched, man...it's called using the search button and typing "partition". Next time, make sure you do that...cuz unless you wanna get flamed or banned, you HAVE to read the RULES OF THE FORUM!

Is it just me, or does the S2 not have the cool screen off animation that looks like an old TV switching off? I thought it came as part of gingerbread?
Now there is a proper reason not to buy the phone, it's rubbish without this feature.

i have the screen off animation on my nexus one, and it really is worth it to have that little feature. HTC took it off their upcoming phones as well, who knows why they are removing it.
it will be added back with custom ROMs for sure.
If you want the old CRT TV-off animation try the program "Screen Off and Lock", has the same thing. I use it on my SGSI now, and from memory there was a recent update for gingerbread compatibility. You can check youTube for examples of it in action, unfortunately I cannot supply a link since I'm at work.

how come.
im always interested in the reasons why people like or dislike these devices.
I got this beucase I just came from a samsung (droid charge) phone, and before that I had an HTC phone (dinc).
my friend has a samusng captivate
and another friend has the samsung infuse
we all agree that samsung phones are horrible with build quality and GPS issues.
I never had the problems with my dinc that i had with the droid charge. The UI is horrible, so you have to get ASOP or just fail with Touchwiz.
Sense is pretty much awesome compared to the other manufactures overlays. Is it better than stock, thats up to the person, but at least with the rezound we can have the option for both.
With the nexus, you get a crappy GPS (proven and documented issues) , and the no choice between stock or sense.
If you hate sense, then i can see why sticking with this phone sucks.
+1
Couldnt agree more. Granted that Verizon locks out HTC HUB, so Skinds are out of the question, but i think Sense dominates most Manufacture UI's that are out today. And I happen to frikken hate the STOCK UI....LOL....but i love MIUI tho. Im interested in seeing ICS in person tho. Not many changes in the UI with ICS, but its looks awesome tho. Im on the fence about this one, and I jsyt came from Sprint on Monday. Guess im an HTC person. Speaking of Skinds, has anyone been able to get any installed? Ive tryied and installed quite a few already (knowing they prolly wouldnt work anyway) and they installed just fine but when i head into the "Applications" section there not listed for me to uninstall them. Pretty wierd. Feedback on this would be great. Sorry to go [OFF-TOPIC]

Not a problem. I'm not sure what apk Hub is, in fact, it might be laced into another apk. HTC Sense.com is however an apk.
can't you just install sense 3.5 skin APKs via astro or something? I know hub won't work but we can get the skin APKs and install them I think

It's not that I hate the device, it's just that it reminds me too much of my Incredible and I want something different. I love the look that Sense brings to the phone (but I hate the launcher) and I love the option of going stock or having a sense rom, that was a major reason why I wanted this phone in the first place along with being able to add in a MicroSD card. One of the main things that's annoying me now is that the phone seems to lag when I' m using ADW EX or swiftkey X. It feels like I'm back on my Incredible! I read around that a factory reset helped some people so I just did one and hopefully it will improve the responsiveness of the device.
It's just that I feel like I'm missing out by not getting the Nexus. Root isn't guaranteed with the Rezound like it is with the Nexus, since I bricked my Incredible 5 days after I got it the lack of SBF/NVflash-type tools kind of scares me now because there's no safety net in case your device randomly decides it wants to turn security back on. Also there's always tons of modifications done with Nexus devices because they're developer phones. With my OG Droid I was messing around with roms and kernels every few days checking out what I liked the best about them. Once I switched to the Incredible in March, I liked the change but quickly grew sort of disinterested in flashing roms and kernels about 2 months after I had it because every rom was essentially the same in the end. That may be the case with the Nexus since but only time will tell.
I think root and S-Off are going to make this device amazing. We'll get stock ICS ROMs, Sense ICS ROMs. ROMs to fix the little issues. Everything gets better with custom ROMs. I didn't buy this device for the stock experience. I got it because I love the development the community does on Sense devices.
Rabble rabble rabble.
I think the only people who don't buy their device to customize are the ones who got it from work for free, and those who have no idea what some phones are capable of(Grandma and Grandpa who were tricked by carrier to extend their contract), lol.
I agree that root and S-off will definitely make this device better, Sense and ICS was also another big factor for me.

Click to expand...

Better is subjective, but here's my $0.02
I've been running viper since day one, and it's crazy easy to customize, which is its main claim to fame. But I've also never had any issues with bugs, reboots, or apps crashing. Literally never, not even once. It's the definition of a daily driver - everything works, it's fast, and I get great battery. It's a "set it and forget it" type of rom.
Mean seems more into the the constant tweaking and updating, and is more interested in adding the "latest and greatest" mods for the phone. It's a rom that you want to stay on top of.
From what I've seen, both roms get great support in their threads from the devs and users, but the viper crew has a reputation for being smartasses and having fun while doling out the support, so if you're the kind of guy who likes your support thread to be all business, that might come into play.
I can vouch for mean, viper and tranquility. They are all daily drivers it just depends on what suits you best. I was happy with all of them I just like trying new stuff all the time. Mean is pretty much stock with tweaks. Viper is very custumizable and tranquility is very heavily themed.

I've been on MeanROM since day one and now looking for other options. Linkifier no longer works, the smallest fonts are still entirely too large, the stock E-mail client is gimped and 5x4 Rosie still overlaps. I realize the latest HTC base broke most of that stuff while completely ignoring the flawed mail app, but that's not progress.
Now I'm wondering if there's another Sense ROM I should try or go straight to AOSP. If I do, I'll lose HTC's camera tweaks and the ability to update the PRL.
Viper4G gets my vote. Was my first Sense ROM to try and after trying all the others it suited me best. My favorite Sense ROM no doubt but like others have said its really down to personal preference.
V4G was, and still is a hella nice daily driver. I even trusted it enough to guide me through my vacation instead of my old lady's GPS and everything else. Awesome ROM.

1.) Linkify doesn't work in HTCMail. Hyperlinks are now dead in mail from 2.13.651.1 RUU and there is no easy fix. I believe this affects all up-to-date Sense ROMs
2.) Mike left the mail app alone and that's my beef with it-- it blows. The smallest font size is still entirely too large, which brings me to my next point..
3.) With a 720x1280 native resolution from an otherwise gorgeous 4.7" LCD, NO user deserves to be stuck with a 4x4 Rosie. Give me a ****ing break on the Playskool fonts, and I'm not 60 years old. I don't appreciate others reading my E-mail over my shoulder on an airplane, just because HTC gimped their software.
With Linkify crippled and the too-large font size still unresolved, I can't recommend a Sense ROM at this point. For me, MeanROM is there just to activate and update the PRL before flashing over to CM10.

On the main text section that shows all texts from different people, if you slide your finger across their name from left to right it calls them, if you go right to left it txt's them. She also complained about how many steps there are to make a phone call (that might just be learning this new phone).
I keep hearing about Liquid and it sounds perfect except the video camera doesn't work. She takes a lot of videos of the kids, so it's not an option.
theres a widget in sense called people fav. where you can add their contact to it and tapping the pic it will give you an option of text or call.
I'll teach her how to use the phone properly and install widgets if I can't get a rom that emulates a samsung.
I guess I have nothing to lose. She doesn't really like the current factory setup, so I guess I'll just flash one of the most common ones mentioned and see if she likes it, since nobody makes exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I really don't want to sound like a jerk when i say this but, if she wanted the phone to act like a Samsung then why did she get it? Why not just get a Samsung? It's going to be a lot of work for something that may have cost a little more.
The closest thing I can think of is a GB rom with sense removed and using GO Launcher EX with the GO Launcher TouchWiz theme. Both are in the play store. For me Go Launcher has always been a little laggy but if she's used to Touch Wiz then she's used to it..

I understand your question, your not a jerk. I got the phone for FREE and she hadn't ever used any other type of Android phone (other than her Samsung Fascinate), so she wasn't aware they were different.
Thanks for the help.

Gotcha, I understand completely. My family were sold the HTC Thunderbolt because they were told it was a good phone. I took it because it was free with our contract when the district manager set us up. It isn't a horrible phone but I have definitely owned better.
