This is the Developers Thread for HTC Sense UI proting developement to our Streak.
Please dont ask questions how the process stage is. Every new thing that will work on our Streak will become updatet on post 2!
I don´t know how fast it will go on because I´m extremely busy at the moment but maybe I´ll get some help from other devs here!
So let the dev begin
UPDATES OF THE DEVELOPEMENT:
13.10.2010: HTC Sense Developement startet!

Very Nice!
animated weather oh please it would look awesome on the dell strak and then you can really show it off.
worth mentioning is that you'd have to run a DPI setting that will play nice (like 240 on the EVO), when running the HTC_IME on my streak, it only worked at 240 and 200, there may be more it will work at, I tested them working at those settings (doesn't work at stock 160dpi)

Thanks for this information! I´ll work on getting sense to our streaks today evening when I´ll get the time for it!
Thank you so much for doing this for us. It will be so great. I had this on my Nexus One and thought it was cool then, but thinking now, it will be the bomb on the Dell Streak.
You're the man!
Hi xda members...bad news for dev news...I have to fly to frankurt today evening for a one-week business trip so I maybe won´t find time to work on sense for the next week...maby on the evenings but I´m not sure about it.
If some other dev´s here get some news how to get sense on our streaks please pm me
Any progress here? I was so excited about this. Thanks
This was the post i was waiting for...thanx for the effort my friend
Umm, I really hate to be the fly in the ointment here but is Sense free and open source? Are there no issues taking HTC's code and redistributing it in a ROM for another manufacturers device? It's not quite as bad as trying to install a Windows OS on a device that is not licensed for it but it seems uncomfortably close.

That good thanks

the framework is open source, but the apk's are not. it is very well against copyright laws to take sense and port it to other devices, thats why cyanogen stopped after they got a cease letter from htc.
hey mate, i know u can do this......i will be waiting for ur latest update for the sense ui!!!
it should be way better than froyo.......i hope so
I thought that with the impending release of Android 3.0 AOSP, it would make sense to have a thread similar to "CM7 General Discussion thread" where users can post questions, instead of cluttering up the development threads. I'll start a FAQ in this OP and will add additional FAQ items as suggested by others in the thread.
Android 3.0 Honeycomb for Nook Color Frequently Asked Questions
Q. " Will Honeycomb run on Nook Color ?"
A. Yes. The recommended hardware is 1.0 ghz (easily obtained with Dalingrin's OC kernel) and 512mb (the same amount of RAM as found in the NC). And NC runs the preview builds just fine.
Q. " It is mid-March, the Motorola Xoom has been released with Android 3.0, yet there has not been any recent releases of builds of Honeycomb for NC - why not ?"
A. Devs are waiting for "Android 3.0 AOSP" the actual source code for the release of 3.0 that was used in the Xoom product (and others). The AOSP is often released several weeks after the release of the first hardware product.

Agree with ADude...this type of thread needed to happen for HC. Thanks for getting it going.
HC stuff is a bit slow now, with CM7 doing most of the heavy lifting at the moment, but HC will start rollin' again when (if?) AOSP is released to the masses. Would like to see this thread grow and provide a lot of good insight for those who may not be as dev-savvy. There are a lot of very smart people in the forums, so help is never too far away.
How long did it take deeper blue to port hc to the nook the first time? Just curious because I assume the same kind if wait for aosp. It seemed almost instant but I didn't have a nook at the time. It might have seemed a lot longer had I been lurking the threads then. Either way can't wait until google finally releases the code.

Tried, but they couldn't be installed -- the SDK version changed in the final version of Honeycomb. Faking the SDK version number didn't seem to help neither.
Cant wait for a full 3.0, really exciting stuff.
Just hope they can use the BT stuff from cm7 to get it working in HC, otherwise I'm probably gonna stay with cm7.
dalingrin said that all the progress that has been made for gingerbread should transfer over to honeycomb. anyone who is interested in honeycomb should be fully supporting cyanogen as they will be the ones to get us the build.
I just got a Nook Color off eBay...I'm looking forward to rooting and installing (hopefully) honeycomb on it. How stable is it?
The emmc version by samualhaff is stable. I would recommend it, I use it as my daily driver.

I like HC I use it every now and then on my SD card
but the only reason I havent completly moved over is that I can't get the market so that means I cant get books from B&N or Sony or such as it won't connect to my computer either
I know it is still in the beta stages though

Same here. Running eMMC 2nd and I have no complaints. For being stripped from the SDK's emulator it runs rather exceptional. A few apps here and there don't work and HQ YouTube is missing but regular quality looks fine for the time being.
does eMMC 2nd allow the market?

Yes. There is a work around for full functionality if someone has issues (a few apps are not visible however).

stripped from the sdk preview at that. it works remarkably well.
I tried the nexus one final sdk build, and the sdk berson and the APIs should match the AOSP, so more honeycomb features and apps worked, which made me even more eager for our next nook color release, be it final sdk based or AOSP.

You do realize that Android is Open Source, right?
This is a project to port Sense 3.0 from the Flyer to the Nook Color on CM7.
I have a few things to clear up first, though.
1. We are in early stages. If you came here for a final ROM, hold on, we're working on it.
2. If you want to say "this isn't gonna work" then fine. Say it, but when it comes out, you won't get the download. (Just kidding )
3. This project will be moving a little faster now that pndo1 got a Flyer! (I also might get one soon.)
That's it. No more blah blah blah. Here we go.
inFini Sense is a alpha project to port Sense 3.0 Launcher/Apps to the Nook Color on CM7 as said in the OP.
Again, this does not completely work yet! Do not expect it to!
There are no downloads (yet) but we do have progress updates, and here they are:
Progress:
5.23 (my birthday!) This doesn't work cause it is looking for a 3G radio, which the Nook doesn't have. We have downloaded a wifi dump of it from here.
Here is what we did:
Downloaded it, ran it.
Searched "rom.zip" in explorer.
Copied it to the mac desktop or somewhere else. (we use parallels)
Unzip it (use windows for this, no mac program works. Use 7zip)
And extract the zip.
But we can't extract system.img. Any help here would make the project done in a day or two after/
That's where we are. Nothing working great, but we need to extract system.img from the wifi dump.
We have the apps on the nook using a 3g dump, but they fc looking for a radio.

Nice. Love the ui on the flyer tab. Good luck!
Got Ginger?
I am interested in this, carry on
Thanks for the support guys, working on it RIGHT NOW!
could you be a little more specific on what exactly you are trying to do?
I read your op three times and I don't get it.
thanks
We are doing this:
You know HTC Sense? We're putting it on the Nook. Simple.
More info:
Sense is a really nice UI.
CM7 ui sucks.
We put sense on cm7.
So are you putting a Sense rom onto the nook or are you trying to port the launcher over to CM7?
This is going to be awesome, good luck!
GO GO GO !!! I like sense...
Port the launcher
Sorry, this is not a total sense rom. We are just porting the apps to CM7.

Title and op post are very misleading.
So it's just the apps? Not even the launcher?
Also what the hell? ikingblack credits himself? @ikingblack for also working on it with pndo1
yes, the launcher and apps.
We said that this is not a sense rom in the op. "But, not a real sense ROM. It is CM7!!"
Please, read more carefully. This thread is about Sense UI on CM7 Nook Color, so get back on topic.

Has anyone ever ported a sense launcher ontop of a gaosp rom? I would think the framework alone makes it terribly impossible
Also
"So, porting Sense. Well, this isn't going to be a real HTC tab. Live with it. But it IS real Sense. Taken from a HTC Flyer dump. But, not a real sense ROM. It is CM7!!" worst English ever. Not to mention the parts in bold.
We might work on it some other day. My friend pndo1's dad has a gtab so we might.

??? CM7 is a GAOSP rom so you're working on it now aren't you?
Yeah, I guess we are.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I looked and searched many times and has not found any details.
I have ready countless forums and websites saying that it is not possible to port over a honeycomb rom to the TouchPad because Google has not released the source code. I owned a Viewsonic G-Tablet and I had flashed a Honeycomb Rom and it was pretty stable. Even the Nook Color has a Honeycomb port. Why does the G-Tablet and the Nook Color have the ability to run honeycomb, but not the Touchpad.
Just a question and maybe some of the devs can look into this and maybe succefully port honeycomb onto the TouchPad!
We are waiting on you to port it......thanks!

I am not any type of dev. Hence this question I posted.
Just wait a little while for Ice Cream Sandwich, which will be much better than Honeycomb.
It's not that it's impossible to. It's that it's a pain, it tends to be broken, and with ICS around the corner, there is no reason to waste the effort.
I had a nook color it didnt run honeycomb it ran the sdk emulator and it was not good
Dont worry thr devs who are wotking on cm7 are nit tryung to get one over on u by using gingerbread

This. The Honeycomb roms for the Nook and other tablets are hacked together from the SDK, so they're not optimized for the device they're running on. Since there's no source, issues cant be (comparably) easily fixed. And with that in mind, you need a good working Android base which doesnt yet exist for the touchpad since CM is (rightfully) withholding source due to its alpha status.
Even if we did have CM source, the ICS source release is just around the corner. There's no point in doing it since the work wouldnt translate and just be wasted.
Wait for the ICS source to drop if you want ICS.

All Honeycomb ports are hacks because Google has never released the full source for it.
The Touchpad _could_ run Honeycomb, but as the only development for it is CM7, which is gingerbread based currently, that's what you get.
If you can find some people who want to sink the time into hacking Honeycomb onto it, then you could have it, but I doubt anyone is going to want to bother given that ICS source is due in the next couple of months and with any luck we'll get a CM8 port instead of a half-assed Honeycomb.

CM9 you mean;-) CM8 has been kept open for Honeycomb specifically, so the next CM will be CM9 I read somewhere.
I think HD2 is able to boot Honeycomb too, but it never got stable.

Yeah I think he was pointing out the fact that if you want it go make it. I have to say though seriously? Just in the last week did we go from pretty much no Android to pretty dang functional gingerbread... And already asking why don't we/why doesn't someone port honeycomb... Really? Seems a little unappreciative but maybe that's just me...

First, the nook and g-tablet ARE Android devices to being with.
Second, it took some time to get the above devices to "run" Honeycomb.
Third, neither is completely functional with Honeycomb.
Lastly, if you really really want Android your best is probably to get an Android device. I also have a g-tablet and with custom ROM that made it mostly functional, it was never 100% and issue free. I was never completely satisfied until I got an real Android device (Asus Transformer).
Being able to dual boot the Touchpad with a functional Android OS would be nice. But personally I got it to try out WebOS and have something different.
What does this mean for the Gtab?
I have been wondering if there might be something recent to make this tablet more relevant as a daily-use device.
I realize that a "pre-Alpha" build from an all-but-defunct tablet other than the G-tab may not be the greatest card we were dealt, but I would like to just ask anyone if this means we might be able to run a ~fully working ICS build sooner rather than later?
Opinions?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the gtab and the Adam both use the Ventana platform of the Tegra 2, which would mean that it would be possible to use the drivers and workarounds they use on this device.
Maybe?
Edit- Or was it Harmony?

This release is huge for the gtab. Right now, I am editing RaYmAn's kernel to get 2.6.39 to boot on the gtablet. As soon as thats done, we will have to edit the g tablet device tree and compile from source. Once that is done, we too will have a gtab ics build that functions amazing.
