[Q] Froyo w/ Sense? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looks like a number of Sense-based phones have been or will shortly be upgraded to 2.2. Any of our great devs looking into this? I'd be more interested in a Sense-Based 2.2 Rom than what we have currently. No offense to all of you. I'm currently running CELB Froyo and love it. I really like Sense and the HTC components as well.
Thanks.

Careful, I asked the exact same question (when the desire 2.2 with sense was posted) and got reported for it.

I remember that now. I was trying to recall what your question was. I hope I don't get in trouble. Just looking for something that isn't currently offered.
Thanks.

Quick question... whyd you get reported? Pm me if you can't say why on here.

Yeah I remember that also. Some dude with 10 posts thought he was a big man on campus.

This is all I wrote, and I was reported immediately by several users:
I know it's possible now since there are Desire and Incredible ROMs running Sense on Froyo, so I'd be very happy if a developer could figure out how to port one of those to the Eris. Obviously they're different screen resolutions (and the Desire is GSM instead of CDMA), but it must be possible. Thank you in advance!

for the same exact thing. posting outside of the designated area. no ones trying to be mean. . . just trying to keep things in the correct sub forums.

Whaddya think...
Dare I go over there and ask the devs if it would be possible to have a Froyo ROM that will play nice with a partitioned SD card?
(Not to run apps2sd, which is partly irrelevant in 2.2, but just to ease the process of flip-flopping back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs)

In all honesty I think that out very possible. I might be talking out of my butt though. One possibility would be to take the HTC stuff and port it to froyo. It could be intresting to see what could happen.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App

thenestor that's absolutely ridiculous that you were reported... people are crazy sometimes.
Anyway when an HTC phone gets sense officially it will get ported I'm sure.

But that has happened. I don't recall the models but there has been a couple already upgraded officially.

senseui
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me that the best chance for a FroYo w/ senseui rom lies in porting senseui from one of the mytouch3g devices as they are running the same resolution and 16-bit color.... Since this is the only phone 'officially' slated for upgrade it looks to be the most promising avenue.
The most exciting aspect of senseui imo.... FlashLite... by far the most missed feature in the 2.2 roms IMO

I don't want to ask that question either, but I do. I reboot too much for Froyo a2sd. I love the roms but I'd love to see a cyanogen a2sd. Add that to the now working camera and you've got a perfect daily use rom.

HTC Sense on Vibrant?

Is it possible?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No it is not.
There are a lot of things out that there that replicate what it does, but do officially port it over would pose some serious legal issues.
Also, why would you want sense? There is plenty out there that tops it.
And, for future reference, please search a topic before posting a question about it.

I'm looking for it too! I guess since it has to do with a lot of legal actions we wont find it on here but it would be nice to have the desire HD rom on the vibrant since we may not see that phone in the US unless we get the overseas version that doesn't even work with our 3g or hspa
What Legal Issues? I didn't know about that.
And What Are Other Thing's That Top HTC Sense? Because TW isn't one of them.

nothing comes close to the HTC Sense if your talking about launcher pro no its not all it does is change the icons and also there is someone working on it now from what Ive received a message from if you dont like the idea of it dont respond with smart comments stick with what you have.
There is nothing that tops HTC Sense right now name one? you cant at all! and nothing on the Vibrant tops what HTC has I like using my HD2 sometimes cause I cant stand the TW I love the HTC Sense and the new features the New desire hd has!!!!

lol, I wasn't making a "smart comment". I was stating that facts.
As of right now there is no sense for the Vibrant.
HTC sense is made for HTC phones, and it will take a while before a stable release if released, if ever.
Also, the code for sense is owned by HTC, so using it without there consent and porting it over to another phone is illegal, even though nobody cares too much.
And, LauncherPro is amazing. What exactly do you want from sense that you can't get on your Vibrant otherwise?
And, nice triple post.
HTC Sense is not gpl or apache licensed. It is intellectual property of HTC. Try to get a port going if you want but it won't fly here on XDA.

A lot of people with sense switch over to a 3rd party launcher.
There is just some fascination that people having with *HTC Sense*. Not that great of a interface imo.
Fyi, this is being worked on in the galaxy s forum.. Once its working on there we can try to get a port on our vibrants.

I agree this phone is really, really rough if you are on stock.
But after flashing the Bionix ROM, I feel as though my vibrant is smoother than almost any other phone out there..
Accept that sense probably isn't being ported to the Vibrant for a while, and settle the **** down.

I have a hd2 with froyo and chukky as a back up and there are some thing i do like about sense.

Gingerbread question

Ok not looking to get flamed on this question. If I posted it in the wrong area I apologize. I'm not asking for it to be made just wonder with all of the requirements needed to run gingerbread will the Eris ever see even a modified version of gingerbread? Thanks in advance

The possibility of it being ported are there, but I wouldnt hold my breath. If the source is released, I'm sure someone will try to port it, but it might not go too well.
I've heard rumors that Gingerbread will actually be 2.3, not 3.0. Maybe that gives us some hope.
The requirements are still the same.

Despite what this post says, I do not believe that those are requirements; I think that they are recommendations, which is different.
See this and then this.
The real answer, though, is that nobody knows until it's officially announced and released.
Well I seen somewhere that it was supposed to be released in October. But you see how well that went lol. But with all the requirements that come with it I wouldn't be surprised if this would the death of the Eris development but that's my 2 cents

That was already attempted, and from what I can tell it has/had more bugs then Gingerbread currently does.
Plus compared to GB I can only imagine how slow it would be, especially with Sense. >.<

Actually sense 2.2 on the eris has proven to be very fast, and this is 2.2.2. We've only seen roms ported for the Eris that were 2.2, so this might be something to look at

Yeah if 2.2 w/ Sense is ever ported to the Eris, it will have to be a device with similar or the same resolution screen and I think that is also ARMv6.
The Aria/Gratia is a little faster than the Eris but still ARMv6.

My point is GB is considerably faster, and it's quite noticeable too. Since most of the devs right now are focused on Gingerbread, I doubt (don't quote me on this) they'll "step back" to Sense 2.2. You could always try these though, they'll probably the closest you'll get. :/

Actually there are devs working on Sense 2.2 still and trying to get some bugs worked out. I believe the OP was probably hoping to give them something that might be of some assistance to them. Just because some others may not be interested or not want it doesn't mean it's necessary to give the guy a hard time about it. Some people like Sense while others like Vanilla. Some like Froyo and some feel GB is rather ugly. To each his own...

Okay quite honestly i didnt post this so people could point me in the right direction to their own knowledge, i know all about the Sense 2.2 ports, ive tried porting some myself, and like CondemedSoul said, im just trying to see what we could do with this port. My main point of interest was the fact that its 2.2.2 for the Aria and not the stupid Gratia that gave us all that Go market crap, which was also just 2.2, this is a higher version. I know the same things wont wont, like the camera, but it was just a thought. You guys dont need to act like im some noob

No problem. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a nice 2.2 sense rom myself. Options are always good to have and apparently it seems that a lot of people don't even realize that there's still a lot of people that still run 2.1 roms.... but why would they want to do that when we have gingerbread now? lol

lol im still running 2.1 with Sense, Villain Rom for the Hero FTW
There's many things I liked about CM6 ROMs, but after three or four months using several of them, I went back to xtrSENSE v4.6.5 (a 2.1 ROM for those who don't know) a few weeks ago. I'll probably stick with it until CM7 reaches a final release, then I'll give one or more of the CM7 ROMs a serious look.
But if a 2.2 Sense ROM becomes totally useable (all features working), then I would definitely try that, too.

Sense roms

I was wondering if there are any sense roms for the vibrant, if so can you someone please direct me? I check but couldn't find any. Thank you
nope, a launcher pro sense theme, but no functioning roms. There was one a few months ago in the works but it fizzled out
That sucks. Thanks for the response.
There kinda is one, but it's still in a very alpha stage, with things then breaking constantly.

I don't have a link, but it's at the very tail end of the galaxy sense thread in the Dec section. I haven't personally seen the thread pop up in about a well or so, but I know it's using a gb sense leak, on top of some CM7 parts and that some of the drawing features of sense don't work.
If you don't know how to debug your phone, when most common tools are useless then don't even bother with it.

We really need to start asking questions in the proper section. The development section is for ROM's, MOD's and other development resources.
As for your answer, there are a few working on aosp builds. It just takes time.

Yeah, if CM7 could be easily ported to the Rezound, I'd definitely take that for now.
It bugs me how opening the dial pad blocks the speakerphone toggle on the call screen. It also does this on the iPhone. AOSP Android just covers the picture with the dialpad when needed.
At least on the Rezound it's easy to quickly hide the dialpad again. iPhone 4S toggling is kind of slow. At least on my friend's.
If I knew anything about porting roms I would try. I even have a dual xeon workstation to use for it.
