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.

Ive heard it from some of the members I honestly don't think its true but they keep saying if they were to do it it would be considered as warez but they don't have to post a download they can post a link to where its at!!! I myself have wondered how to do it.

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.

yeah, seriously.
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 like sense
I have a hd2 with froyo and chukky as a back up and there are some thing i do like about sense. But..... porting over would have too many conflicts and it would not run the same. be patient, the Vibrant is a good base phone there will be enough done in this forum to make the desire to have Sense not make any more sense
Here you go. Complimentary screenie

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.

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

It's just extremely pretty, I love stock as well, but Sense is the best UI yet, Blur looks like a cluster of ugly and Touchwiz is just a little too "iPhone rip off"
I think I got it, I just rooted my device again and got metamorph so now I go to download one and I put it in my phone internal sd card and load? Seems simple enough.

Depends on the people. I wanted it back in the G1 days because it was something new and fresh, but after a couple of months, I used a different theme. Touchwiz is something new for me. It's similar to iOS, but not totally, and there is a reason which I'm sure everyone agree on why TouchWiz is like iOS.
Anyways, following the metamorph topic is the best way right now. You could also just learn on how theming works for android and do it yourself. There is a guide somewhere, I think it's in the G1 section, but don't quote me on that.
Cool so far I got one but it won't load it just stays on applying the res-framework thing...

Are there any Thunderbolt ROMs with Sense stripped out? I'm considering a move to Verizon but I'm spoiled by CM7 in my Inspire. CM7 weighs in at 80mb where the stock Sense ROM is 275mb which insane bloat. If there's a ROM without Sense I'd love to go that route.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
yes d00d......
This should have been in general
But to answer your question Tesla Coil is as close as you are going to get to a non Sense ROM at this point.
They r all sense based now. There are roms without rosie and a bunch of sense apps, but they still need sense kernels etc..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I know you can't completely remove Sense because these a-holes have buried it pretty deeply. But there are some Sense-based ROMs for the Inspire with most of Sense stripped out. I'd be happy with something like that. Sense is a public nuisance.

If you want a truly aosp experience you will have to wait for cm7. This is an htc branded phone so obviously they will ship it with sense. That's how they differentiate themselves. Surprised that would cause you to label them a-holes. Also please bear in mind that aosp kernels need to appear as well.
Finally, I'm surprised at how some people hate sense. Personally, I love the widgets, look and feel of sense a lot more. I find aosp roms too bare bones and homely and bereft of nice widgets etc. Sense 2.0 with phone finder, remote phone lock are really worth trying.

I call them a-holes because they force us to use an ugly skin that we don't like. All of these manufacturers should have a bare-bones ROM available to people who DON'T WANT their custom skin. Ship the phone with your skin but make it an option. The fact that they have added 200mb of crap is ludicrous. I get this figure from an AOSP ROM weighing in at 80MB while the stock ROM is ~275.

I disagree. We should not be forced to use a vendor's skin in order to enjoy Android. With only the Nexus phones being free from all this crap we're limited. These vendors really need to listen to the customers.
The g1 and g2 are without sense as well
Most people enjoy sense. Atleast those who know nothing of android
I prefer sense to aosp but that's my opinion, to each his own
And to say don't buy a HTC phone because u don't like sense is stupid, I buy HTC phones for the build quality and great over all.phones
My last 5 phones were HTC phones and I plan to keep this trend going

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.

Here's another problem. Complaints about Sense. If someone doesn't like Sense, why buy a phone that has it out of the box, and can't be removed without waiting for a developer to do it for you?
I'm a huge fan of Sense, and I look forward to getting 3.5, or 4.0, depending on what HTC brings to the table with the release of ICS.

had a sgs2 for about 2 weeks... hated it. and from that experience i have decided i will never buy another samsung product again.
they will have an official ICS release from sammy in about 13 months. because that's how long it takes samsung to get off their ass with any kind of support. look at the epic and the gingerbread update. 6 months behind the evo 4G
HTC > samsung
I wouldn't mind a galaxy nexus. But I know I would get tired over it.. after a while. Then what will I flash? A gb colored ics?
With the evo 3d I can put sense on for a while..... but I'm keeping pics for a long time... live it
The sgs2s aren't bad but I hate that they made them 4.3 and kept the same resolution and aspect ratio... I hate how pixelated and how wide it looks. Do like the samoled especially the blacks. But its a hate love relationship because colors look good but they aren't correct. Compare the gray or stainless steel color the speed test app has on an sgs2 and the evo 3d... you'll see the colors, sharpness and aspect ratio..
