Does anyone know if somwong is working on this or is it already out their?

i was wondering the same thing the other day. plenty of 2.1 sense phones/roms out there with specs similar to ours so Im kind of surprised there is not much talk about it.
maybe they want to get a normal 2.2 rom working first? but with all the 2.1 sense roms for other phones, it may be easier then 2.2? Im not a dev so i dont know, but just wondering too
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A. And no, there is currently not a way to put htc sense on the vibrant.
Sent from my messenger rabbit
The main reason is the license, it is only licensed for HTC and HTC Licensed devices, so it would be considered "Warez" to put it on a non licensed device, I am sure it could be done, but you will not find it in a public forum such as this ...
I would say just wait until CM6 gets ported. once we get a hold of the required drivers and stuff it should just be a matter of time before a desire port is made
I'm using this. No HTC Widgets but hey its better than nothing.

Double posting, or posting the same question all over the place , I doubt is gonna change the answer ...
Like the ones you got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770783
1.) Sense is owned by HTC not licensed for other devices, so would be not just a grey area but just plain Illegal, for a dev to port it to the Vibrant.
2.) IF and When someone does it, you may not find it here because XDA frowns on blatant copyright infringement.
3.) MAYBE when we have CM or a True Froyo ROM for Vibrant, maybe someone would hack it on there, but again you may not find it here.
4.) Just because you don't like the answers is no reason to ignore the answers.
I should report this as a double post, but I'll let someone else do it, feeling generous.

there are non htc devices with sense ported to them....
even though g1/mytouch is htc, it never was intended for sense and htc did not put it on there. There are tons of sense roms for g1/mytouch

Just because there are, does not make them legal, the legality was my point, as just doing the OS is one thing, swiping copyrighted apps is another story ...

Why do you care so much i just want sense on my phonei didnt ask if it was Illegal, when i hade my iphone 3gs jailbroken it was illegal. when you root your phone that is not the way samsung wanted it it may not be but it is frowned upon by carriers and in most cases void your warranty. Anyway i just want it i was asking what other people wanted.

And for the record you did not ask "Do people want sense on their vibrant", you asked where to find info on it being able to be put on the vibrant or if anyone had done it. So get an attitude if you want, I have been around XDA long enough not to care about the attitudes that much .... ....

Specifically a question for developers:
So I'm just curious when do you guys think an ICS custom ROM might be available for our vibrants?
More specifically, has google released enough of the SDK and/or ICS code for someone to actually make a working ICS ROM?
Can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks
Edit: my question really is:
what requirements do developers need to start working on a custom ROM when a new OS is released?

3-4 Months until you have something usable. That is provided the Vibrant still has developers left to work on it. A lot of ppl switched.

[email protected] easy! Anyone anywhere who had working ics on a phone would be on every forum bragging till their head pops off..
There are hundreds of articles that say that google is releasing the source code once "it is officially on devices".
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395048,00.asp
How long will it take them to have a working rom is another question. The gps issue we have with gingerbread has never been actually fixed, I think it is a driver issue..?
Either way, it all depends, but it IS a valid question once the source is released, until then people are just going to flame your thread.

First of all, it's still a question, regardless of the content, unless there is a specific development thread about ics, this question belongs in the q&a section, you're not someone special where the rules don't apply.
Secondly, since source for ics hasn't even been released yet (this is the vibrant, so some sdk port won't ever work, regardless of your secret hopes and dreams), and even then, it's gonna take people a bit to get situated with the new code, and get used to the new features, apis, and bugs.
To ask for a timeline for something that's not even out into phones that it's actually built for is kinda insulting to people IMHO.
But, I give it 2-3 months after source drop to get into a basic useable form on the vibrant.

I think anyone with dev skills should get the phone,
BUT
I don't want this turning into the Rezound forums.
there is NO need for 4 ppl to put out THE SAME EXACT ROM with different "dev tweaks" a.k.a spent 5 mins to change it up to get a ROM posted because ppl like my work.
my goal for this forum is to inform the people.
inform the people who do the REAL work.
the REAL dev work and putting in the hours of time.
we also don't need 2 ROMs that are the exact same thing.
like I told newt and anyone else who wants the phone the more the merrier, but I am going to do EVERYTHING in my power to stop this community to turning into the Rezound, and I think I have enough ppl to support that.
I left apple because Android is open and shares.
I hope that this commmunity continues to ROCK!
I don't want any beef between Devs, trying to out do each other making the SAME ROM, give or take a mod or two different, let's worl together and produce something that is killer.
I left the Rezound a long time ago for a very good reason, way before the inc4 was on horizon, i even bought an inc2 back to 3g i hated that community so bad.
so far it seems this is like the inc2 on steriods!
let's hope it stays that way!

I am with you on this. Right now I am wanting to create a stock rom that is odexed still but yet has the color scheme of ICS. And of course as S-Off becomes available I will be willing to add more to it as well. I just think that as long as we work together instead of competing with each other we can have some solid ROMS that people will want to use as the daily driver instead of flashing every three days.

I see this as a great phone with lots of potential. I too am looking for a semi-stock (i.e. sense-based) daily driver that will suit my needs/wants. So far, what I've seen is that this (currently small) community has been extremely cooperative and respectful.
Well for those of you that know me I don't really do stock roms... I'll build one with all the goodies, but where I come in is when a new device is leaked with a version of sense or ics that we will never see I make sure we do... Porting roms is my thing its what I'm good at and what I enjoy... Everyone wants the next big thing. I myself don't mind sharing at all where I have a problem is when someone uses my work or my whole Rom without permission or credit or if I share with them and the favor is not returned that's the problem I have in the rezound forum and a couple other forums in the past

I do remember some of your great work. Some of them found a home on my OG Dinc for a while. As such, I feel I should clarify my "semi-stock" statement. Your "Optimized Shift" and "Incredible Sensation" ROMs could be included in my in my "semi-stock" comment - You take the best/newest from various sources (leaks, other "newer" phones) and make them work seamlessly within the target device. If I'm using the wrong terminology, please feel free to correct me as I certainly did not mean to offend. I too would be very happy if you were to pick up one of these phones!
I understand the idea behind the Development and Original development forum names, but they still don't seem to be helpful at all.
I suggest naming them something like "HTC EVO 4G LTE Sense based Development" and "HTC EVO 4G LTE ASOP based Development".
There are sense based ROMS with Original development....so that doesnt work.
Saying only AOSP ROMS contain original development shows a general lack of understanding what goes into making all of those tweaks available to us on sense ROMS.

He didn't say that though, did you read his post?
I agree with OP. It would be nice to have some organization in the forums. The AOSP section wouldn't be that big but that's all I really care about development-wise anyway.
There's only 2 or 3 AOSP ROMs. They don't need their own section. Its real easy to tell whats sense and whats AOSP by just looking at the title.
And while OP didnt explicitly state that sense ROMS don't have original development, that seems to be whats implied here, which is the argument that is made in other threads.
The original development section is there to highlight devs who have contributed above and beyond the norm. Its there to easily recognize whats original and whats modified stock. Go to the EVO 4G forums... they are a mess anytime there is a new OTA with multiple people releasing a stock ROM with the same tweaks.
I'm not saying its the best method, but its better than what was suggested.
it was better with one dev section... 2 is just a pain in the a$$..

There are only a couple so far, but official CM support could cause that number to go up. I know how the original section works, as I have been one of the people pushing it the most and explaining it to people who didn't understand it. I just think there's a better way and that we should experiment.
I was confused as well when I came to this section... why is there 2? Everything is fine in one section lol a [cm10] or [AOSP BASED] tag in the rom name makes it stand out enough lol I dun get it, what kind of roms go into original and what kind goes into regular?
Isn't all modifications considered "original"?
What if you use someone elses mods but bake it into. An all in oone rom? Its not original cuz you didn't make any of the mods so would it go in regular? Or maybe it is considered original cuz he baked it all in one?
Real curious lol

Instead of typing up my usual wall of text, I'll just give you this link.
If it was as easy as you think it is, why are there so many people who can't figure out that you can't flash a Sense kernel to an AOSP ROM? That is just an example. There really is a lot of confusion and many, many other examples.
Yes, it is easy for you and I, but we are clearly the exception, not the rule.
I am experienced and know what is what, but I have to weed through a lot of crap to see anything useful.
I did not imply anything about what is original or not. Don't read into what I write. I am always very clear and specific.

That has almost nothing to do with what I said. I am not talking about what is original or not. That would be someone's opinion.
I am suggesting a simple system. A ROM is either modified from an existing ROM or it is compiled from code.

I think they should spit development into ROMS and everything else. I've tried the so called original sense roms, besides being heavily themed whats original about them? They have even borrowed some of the so called non original rom features. 4x5 rosie would be an example. That was a meanrom original but it isn't classified as original. Its all a bunch of ego wagging with the way the threads are organized.

I don't really mind the current setup, now that I'm used to it. But if it were me, I would have a forum for root methods, a forum for roms and a forum for kernels.

There is already a thread to discuss this if you so feel the need to do so....

Though I honestly do not see this changing at all anytime soon, esp given that this was implemented as a trial run in other devices long ago and worked out fine...
It is the way it is for the better and over time people will adjust and understand it better...

Yeah this has been on pocketables over here and here also over at rootzwiki over here
Believe it or not, a large number of people used the site to either make ROMs or to restore their devices either prior to sending it back to HTC or because they had an issue with a custom ROM.
It sucks BUT it is what it is, HTC has lost a few dozen future customers and counting, over this (myself included)
If they wanted to, they could shut down this place too.
It was a great website.
Anyone else having problems getting on 2 android forums this morning?

I can't get to any forum on phandroid, so I doubt it has anything to do with HTC (funny autocorrect capitalized HTC)
Today is the day unlocked phones on diff networks become illegal though:thumbdown:

here is a quote from http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...gal-tomorrow-heres-how-and-if-it-affects-you/ "Legal action might be taken against people who provide tools for others to unlock their phones". What is this "unlock" they are talking about here ? unlocking bootloader, recovery and root ? if that's the case what is even the point in having an open source OS ?

They're not talking about unlocking the bootloader or things like that BUT yet using a phone on a carrier that the phone is not supported on.........i.e using the EVO 3D on Boost Mobile

I can't see them shutting down XDA. The worst they could do is have the forums and ROM's for their phones removed and that wouldn't be productive for them. But given their current modus operandi, who knows?

Yeah, you're right about that. My bad.
HTC and Apple, now my 2 favorite companies, hum looks like HTC has learnt from apple how to bully people. I guess my next phone is going to be a Samsung product.

lol. Problem is that in 2-3 years HTC will not be around to bully anyone at the rate they are nose diving.
i dont mind htc goes to **** at all. there is always someone else, mb LG can kick their ass. my last LG was the Optimus V, great phone.

You don't know it, but are right....
Couple years ago google threatened cyanogen for messing with the google apps and made him separate them from the rom unmodified. All the themes,mods and roms now would definitely be hit.

Well, this isn't the first time HTC has gone after ROM hosting sites either.

Is it possible to pull the keyboard apk from Samsung galaxy s5 and install it in the HTC m8? My phone is rooted. I just love everything about the gs5 keyboard.
If it is possible can someone please post it? Thanks

I'm no developer so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing there is not, all that Samsung stuff usually relies pretty heavily on the TouchWiz framework, and it's been my experience that it's very difficult getting things running right.
Anyone else?

Go to the S5 international forum and download a stock rom. Unzip and navigate to system/app or it may just be in the app folder. Throw it on your phone and try it yourself.

Being pissy? Hell, I gave you the direct answer to the question you asked. I don't know if it would work or not, I was just trying to be helpful. Before you go slamming somebody why don't you read their post history, I don't troll people who ask questions, I try to help or point them in the right direction. I'm sure there are rules for decor for the board but **** the both of you. Next time search the entire forum and figure it out for yourself, douche.

like I said.... pissy. if you don't intend to be one.. you need to change your tone...
Asking me to try something obvious is NOT really being "helpful". I can figure that myself without putting up a post! But I don't know what the effects would be (boot loop?, bricked phone?)... and I don't intend to find out the hard way.. I'm looking to see if someone has already tried it and know if works directly, or with certain tweaks... NOT looking for someone to tell me "hey why don't YOU try and find out".
So yes.. if you don't have anything constructive to offer..save yourself the trouble of posting nonsensical "advice".

You're hilarious. So you just want people to spoon feed you the answer and heaven forbid you try solving the problem yourself. I guess this is your personal help desk seeing how you don't want to try to help yourself and maybe learn something along the way. See how far that gets you around here. Bootloop? bricked phone? from installing a third party keyboard? And I'm nonsensical? The funny thing is I was trying to help you out since I tried the exact "non-sensical" advice to install the aosp mail, sms, and calendar apps from another rom. Keep telling people their being pissy when they respond to your questions hot shot, you'll be real popular. No need to reply either, you've made it clear that anything other than a tried and true, step by step guide, with all assurances of safety is unacceptable, and unfortunately I don't have baby's bottle.

This is a Q&A forum. People are allowed to post their questions without having to worry about people like you who say "this is no damn help desk" so if you feel that way about people who ask questions no matter how silly they might appear to you, then DON'T BOTHER REPLYING! I don't need a baby bottle. You seemed pissy and condescending with your replies. There are several ways you could have suggested it in a better way and I would have even followed your advice. But your tone seemed like you were asking me to do something that was bound to fail.
So no. The problem is with you. Anyways... Moving on.
I did do my research about this. Don't assume that I'm posting without doing my homework.
There is only one posting somewhere where a guy pulled the gs5 keyboard apk and made it into a flashable zip for note. And I did try that and it messed up my phone.
So yes. I know why I'm taking about.
Again. If you are meaning to help then be nicer with your tone.
Thanks for ruining my thread!

I did love the S5 keyboard too. and I realize this isn't an answer to your question, but the SwiftKey Beta comes pretty darn close to satisfying what you might be missing. you should check it out.

WTF bro? All I said was for him not to do what you said as it would be a complete waste of his time because it will not work...Take a flipp'n chill pill already.
Guys, please.. This isn't youtube. Lets try to be constructive instead of destructive. With that being said, back to the topic at hand...As someone that has worked extensively with samsung devices, i'm 99% sure it won't work as a previous commentor said, most if not all samsung specific apps require TW to run them. My guess is to start playing around with some of the diff key boards apps in the market . I'm sure if the S5 keyboard hasn't been replicated yet, it soon will be.
If you are to attempt to pull the apk from the stock S5 rom or if you happen to find it online, don't worry about trying it out. It'll either work or it won't
