i have waiting for this froyo2.2 with htc sense is any possible to cook with sense plz advice me thanks.
hi there
Having hero with 2.2 sense is not as simple as You may think
Until few days ago most of the people were waiting for HTC Legend to get official 2.2. That way the Devs could probably port it to hero.
But few days ago we learned that some crazy (in a good way) people ported HTC wildfire 2.2 to our phones. Despite different res, it looks promissing
So for now only 2.2 with sense for hero is alpha rom (with some of the features such as WIFI/camera not working).
Be patient.
Oh, and Devs can't port 2.2 sense from let's say Desire due to the huge hardware differences (probably processor architecture).
Hope this helps.

If I'm not mistaken HTC's Sense UI is build on top of Android 1.5 Cupcake.
It struck me it would be nice to the the HTC UI on top on the new 2.0 Donut build.
I wondered what are the thoughts of the people on this forum on this.
Does anybody think HTC will do this and will they do it for the Hero as well as newer HTC hardware?
If HTC don't do this for the Hero would anybody else be able to? e.g. MoDaCo?
Apologies if some of my comments/questions are a bit naive or uneducated but I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Some correction:
The new Android SDK version is 1.6, not 2.0
1.6's name is Donut, Donut is not 2.0
One would hope that HTC will update the Hero firmware to Android 1.6 and beyond for as long as the hardware can take it.
If not, I'm sure MoDaCo and others will be playing with this...
well at least the next TWO android updates shouldn't be any problem for the hero and i strongly believe that HTC will provide the updates.
I mean they are doing the same with the new WiMo devices: Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 will both get official WM 6.5 updates.
I do believe that the latest MoDaco Rom has components from Donut. Not the new features, just some of the performance stuff.
It's almost an impossible task to get Sense running on Donut without it being sourced from HTC. For one, we don't have the kernel source to even make a donut build. Then you have the problem of getting htc's framework to play nice with the updated 1.6 framework. Even if you do get the htc framework (for Hero) to run on top of 1.6, Sense is still built atop 1.5, so it's no like you'll be able to use global search from Rosie, you'd get a bunch of forcecloses on settings and other key places.
We'll just have to wait for htc to either release 1.6 sense for Hero or use Tattoo's 1.6 sense and port it to Hero, by the way, anybody have a dump yet?

Thanks for the correction.
And thanks everyone for your thoughts - I'd be excited to see HTC bring 1.6 to the hero.
Well afer seeing this link:
http://www.htcheroblog.com/2009/09/25/sprint’s-htc-hero-to-launch-with-android-1-6/
which says that Sprint's Hero will already have Android 1.6, obviously running similar (if not the same) Sense UI, I don't see why it should take too long for us European Hero owners to have Sense UI smoothly running on the new 1.6 firmware. I am quite hopeful.
Tattoo is what you're looking for. It's a brighter version of Hero (grey instead of black) but has the widgets and overall appeal. Supports native QVGA resolution. Built on Donut from the start.
I'd like to figure out how to get it on a plain Donut build though.

There is already tattoo bootable port for hero youd have to unodex the whole build and port particular parts to 1.6 or change over the whole framework.apk after unodex'ing to support our 160dpi LCD screens over the tattoos 120dpi screen
gimme a second ill grab the link for this guys thread that ported tattoo for hero the rapidshare links are on page two youll have to fastboot his build its not just an update.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564984
hes already got it going on the hero im working on mytouch(magic) and Dream right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566501
I have a Kaiser and have Tattoo working just fine. I think it came from the Sapphire threads. Then I have 120 dpi on a QVGA screen as well. Still, I ran it at Hero's resolution and the only thing I could see was that the images were not scaled but it functioned correctly (like the slider bar was cutting off the Phone button on the home screen) so that should be easy to fix. I don't know what you mean about unodexing as I believe that they either don't need it or at the least you can just sign the file back once you've swapped images.
I'd like to know what dependencies it has with the fun of tweaking Hero is rolling over to Tattoo. I'd like SenseUI on a bare Donut to make it a little more stable.
yeah without a doubt we'll be seeing 1.6 + sense in the near future.
the android 1.6 demo suggests that android cupcake doesnt support cdma, donut will. so for the sprint hero to run at all they'll need donut.
hopefully we'll see the donut come out of the oven in the near future
I've got nothing but failed attempts at getting Hero on Cupcake and Tattoo on Donut native ROMs. Maybe someone more experienced can figure out the dependency hell involved. I don't have a MyTouch but I know my way around the ROMs. The only thing you should need is the /system folder from Tattoo and mod boot.img's init script. Or are you having issues getting Donut to run at all?
twittter
if you subsribe to htc on twitter, they usually send out updates, and from what i have been getting we will be gettign 1.6 for sure on the hero.. they just wont give us a when!
Hey all,
I'm having the moment vs hero debate with myself that a few others have posted threads about on here. I'm wondering if there's a good chance that htc sense will be lifted out of the hero rom and available for install on other devices (read: the moment) similar to how manila was on windows mobile devices. I understand the hardware differences, to me Sense UI will be either a game breaker or a game maker.
Thoughts?
Try asking someone on a dev forum for the Moment!
Regards,
Dave
Don't think that's gonna happen sense is from HTC and is not free to duplicate.
Also not saying the moment isn't as good or even better then the hero but if you'd run sense on the moment it might be very lagging.
Since even if it's made it won't be optimized for the moment (since htc won't make it anyhow)
Old thread but thought i would clarify..
There was some interest in getting sense working on the sph-m900 samsung moment... but that has pretty much died down since we seem to be very close to a fully working 2.1 rom...
Is there any chance that any of us get a port or a clone of Sense 3.0? I feel that Sense 2.1 is awesome but I like getting cutting edge software !
Be patient. Secondly, you're posting a question is the development section, which is not the way.
Sense 3.0 is only available in 960x540 and 800x480 resolutions. Virtually impossible to fix this.
Also Sense 3.0 is way to CPU/RAM intensive for Aria. What's the point of pretty UI if you feel so infuriated by the lag that you want to throw the phone against the wall?
A better question to ask is Gingerbread Sense 2.1 (based on Wildfire S, HVGA, for instance). And I think this is very possible. I may work on this once summer starts if nobody else has so far.
Sense 2.1 would be nice to have. Or even a messages app fix so I can like my sense roms

I know some XDA devs tried before to port Sense on SGS without real success, but now that the Sensation is totally locked and that lot of HTC devs will get the SGS2 instead perhaps that the pros of Sense roms will port Sense 3.0 on SGS2...What do you think?
I would love sense 3.0 on sgs2 as well. Am pretty sure the hardware is fully capable
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
That would be great. The locked bootoader of the HTC Sensation will be one reason for me to switch to the Galaxy I9100. To keep the good Sense experience would be a nice gadget.
Cheers Lars
I posted this in another thread but.. I really like this idea. I know its hard but it works. If the milestone with it's locked bootloader can run sense 2.0 then SGSII definitely can. it just needs the right developers.
Because of the locked Bootloader I had to buy the SGS2 instead the Sensation, but I have to say, Touch Wiz is no Match for Sense. Missing it and would love to see that excellent Userexperiênce on the SGS2.

MORE CAPABALE than even the sensation!
in a much better form factor!
Sgs 2 + sense 3.0 = dream!
unfortunately porting sense isnt as easy as it was for the WM version..

I'd like to see this too, just switched from a HTC Desire running sense 2.1/3.0 to a SGS2 and touchwiz is beaten hands down. The contacts and dialer app is the best I've come across on android, way better than stock/touchwiz/GoContacts
I was actually thinking about this question yesterday and was wondering if anybody made a thread about it yet... well I guess this answers my question of the day then.
If this gains enough interest im sure people will be willing to work on it. I have seen videos of sense 2.0 on a SGS and motorola milestone, so lets hope for the best

I would love to see this too! I miss sense bad! Touch wiz or any third party launcher can't compare in my eyes.
wonder if we can port this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044637&highlight=sense
#Many other phones have got sense 3.0 port.. is it more diffucult to port to non-htc phonrs?
Sense is the best android ui imho, i would definitely love to see it ported on my sgs2
I would love to have sense on my sgs2. I mean touch wiz is ok but sense is much nicer imo. I wouldn't be able to do anything to help, although I would, and I'm sure many others would, make a donation to any one willing. It wouldn't be much though I'm a poor student lol

ive just come from a hd2 with coredriod NAND sense rom....and I do miss sense!but the phone is the dogs...fancy widget for the weather and clock, looks identical to HTCs, sense would be good tho!
Partner has Desire S and it does have a lovely interface, but I actually like TouchWiz 5
New Touchwiz improved a lot but Sense is still much much better I think.. I hope someone ports this over..
Sense is build on Rosie UI and it's directly related to HTC hardwares, like if it searchs for an ''HTC signed'' screen or BT module.
Though like we always says in software world and more specially in Linux...nothing is impossible!
You need devs who can break the links between Rosie (damn junkie lady) and HTC hardware to replace them with samsung ones.
Also it would be easier to build Sense over a standar gingerbread rom than over Touchwiz
The Nexus S galaxysense dev says the galaxysense team is close to getting data working, meaning almost all hardware will work already, I hope we will see a sgs2 port soon too
hi guys
why devs cant port sense 3.0 to x10
is it impossibel or it is only for htc phone and not working on non htc phone
i hope can someone port it to our x10 it will be amazing
like see ..the framework of Htc phones are different and designed according to different hardware ..but ya there is a launcher which is pretty much the same as sense UI can check this link !!

I believe HTC Sense requires quite a bit of OS integration. Maybe even more than what Sony Ericsson uses with their Rachael interface.
Also, HTC has claimed that Sense 3.0 has certain hardware specs (most likely available RAM) that had to be met. That was the reason why they didn't update Sense for older HTC hardware such as the Supersonic/EVO 4G (although XDA devs have already come up with custom ROMs for the EVO 4G that have Sense 3.0).
There should be 3rd-party launchers, home screens, lock screens, widgets, themes, etc. that can be used to simulate the look and feel of Sense 3.0 without having to create some kind of custom ROM image. Have you tried that route?
