Anyone one else think that a sense 3.0 rom on the sgs2 would just be sexy?
I haven't heard of one in the works or even if its possible so excuse me if its already been talked about.
Input on this?

Even I think this would be immense. I'm buying a sgs2 tomorrow. Can't wait!
For one Congrats man this device is awesome.
And for two, it would just be so smooth on the sgs2. Such a perfect experience I think. And my old device used to be the HTC desire, and I miss it for sure.

Keep fighting the good fight.
If you want sense 3 buy a Sensation not a GS2.
Check out the various benchmarks online between the sensation and the SGS2 and tell me if you want pretty widgets which potentially slow the phone down or a much faster phone which is slicker and more fluid.
No brainer if you ask me.

Guys, no need to act liks a$$ holes. What the guy who post this simply means is that the excellent functionality of sense 3.0 coupled with the intense power of SGS II will yield a really good phone
i have an SGS II coming from desire HD. Touch wiz is ****, it does not even support scrollable widgets, and no other launcher like ADW to auncher pro offer the same graphics or functionality of sense
whether you agree or disagree, i think that to the majority of android users, i can safely say that sense surpasses any other launcher
It might not be possible to port it now to SGS II, but hell yea, i would love to see it on the SGS II
I have also noticed senior member on this forum treating noobs like ****. Guys dont be J&rks and remember you were noobs before
Double post lol ! I'm such a noob.

Well said I'd much rather see a new thread, than see an old thread reincarnated just to discuss something. Maybe it's against interweb or forum code to make new threads to chat, but personally seeing threads with a million pages is a million times worse than seeing a question asked again and again and saves on having to check the forum day after day seeing no new threads because newbs are afraid to post for fear of being flamed (yes im a newb)
ps. I'd love to see sense on galaxy s 2 as touchwiz is pants, and so are Launcher Pro, Go launcher, ADW and the rest. Sense is about the only decent launcher out there in my book, but the HTC phones don't cut it anymore.
Biff.
So I've been trying to investigate whether Sense will be ported to SGS2 - lucky for me, I didn't create a thread.
I must say, I've read through a dozen thread and all the responses are: "use the search", "don't be a noob" etc etc.
Nowhere did I actually find any info on whether Sense could be / would be ported...
This is a community forum and there are a lot of people who are newbies - to Android, to smartphones... Does that make them stupid? Does that give the "clever" members the right to rip them off? Come on people, surely it's easier to just ignore a thread then to have pages upon pages upon pages of ripping people off?
I love the work the XDA community does but some members are just arrogant and obnoxious - instead of helping people to be less of a "noob", some of you rather just put them down and so they will always be noobs.

Hey boet,
if you searched the forum for 'htc sense' you would find 18+ threads asking if sense is/was/will be ported to sgs2. Every day there is someone making a new thread , asking the same thing.
The senior members aren't being dicks, they are trying to keep the forums clean and tidy.
And why does everything have to be spoonfed? Haven't you heard that old proverb( i hope im not struck by lightning, thankfully i'm not on the highveld): give a man some fish, he will eat today. teach him to fish, he can feed himself?
If they dont try and find out for themselves, and post on the relevant topics, then they will always be noobs who cant help themselves. You are correct, 99% of people here were noobs once. but by reading threads/posts by more knowledgable members, you begin to learn.
Me? I'm still a noob. I dont know anywhere near as much as I would like to. Which is why I read what people post(when I have the time).
The answers are out there, if people actually use the search function. I would far rather see 4-5 threads, with a few pages of relevant information, than 20 threads, with 4-5 posts, all asking the same thing. Why does the same information have to be reposted every other day just because someone cant be arsed to read?
As for htc sense being ported over, its possible, like anything is, but bearing in mind that sense still isnt working 100% properly on the sgs1, its probably not likely in the near future. which is an answer which has been posted more than once, and not by me, I just did a search and read it(more than once, and in more than one thread).
Most xda members will help you, no questions asked. They just expect you to put a little effort in, instead of whining or being too lazy to use the search function or too lazy to read a thread or not being arsed to even post full details of their problem.
Nevermind about even reading the stickies which have useful information.
Sorry about the rant, but come on.
I honestly doesn't get it.
Why does everybody hate TouchWiz? And from what is seems on this thread, everyone loves HTC Sense
I think TouchWiz is awesome and looking good, unlike the HTC Sense which is effin ugly!
I am a noob, as a noob i know i have to use the search function so i dont gey flamed if i ask a question, but some people are truly annoying with their "use search bar" and thier xda noob video. ive seen some people just post the video on every.qurstion ive read, instead of doing that, what harm could come from just answering the question? You want to keep the forum clean? The question is already made, why not answer it again. Do you know how many pages are in the sgs 1 forum? Imagine going page through page just to get to the last one and see that the question you wanted answered just has some random guy posting the xda noob video.
I think all we noobs, including me (i may be a long time android user but i always want to learn more) should just get together and start making all our questions, even if theyve been answered before just to piss off all the people that post the xda video!! Just as it pisses me off when i see them answer a valid question with a stupid video.
I can just imagine some people, they must have the xda video ready and must go searching all day for noob questions just so he can put the video an laugh to himself.
If you see this is another htc sense kn gs2 question why do you bother looking inside. Just skip on by and let someone who actually wants to help answer the question. You are just making it harder to go through the question with a worthless video.
Im pretty sure some random guy is going to come and quote my rant and post the xda video, and im probably just going to laugh at the time he spent reading this just to paste a stupid url.
Sorry for the rant, but i am really annoyed by all this, and as i said before, to all noobs, just post your questions, someone will be willing to help, most of them will just send you a video url, but there are still some people that remember they were noobs.
The Q&A is for questions and answers so just deal with it!!

Hi
just wondering if there is anyone out there who is prepared to make me a custom rom the way i like it.
there are so many things for the sgs2 but so many roms are over done with the same colour or they have that nasty overscroll glow
i liked the black theme someone made but his requirments meant i had to have certain things to make it work, things i didnt want
to give you an idea, im a fan of stock look. im also a big fan of black and white themes
so if there is someone willing to give it ago please let me know and i'll donate a few $$
thanks Garth
I don't mean to be rude, but you're clearly a newbie here.
You simply don't ask devs to make custom ROMS according to your personal preferences. You can learn to do it yourself, or use one of the many available and awesome custom ROMS.
It takes much much effort to create and test a custom ROM.
Another point, if you did not create "it" then it does not belong in "Android Development" but in General or Q&A.
Here i made you a rom to your specs
gtda's Custom Rom
MD5: 1431431BAE34F3E3D41AB434
BASED ON KG2
instead of pointing your fingers on him, try to help him or if you can't then stop yelling at some one because you are not special or genius too. You also depend on this forum thats why you are wasting your time here.
mate here is your rom, this is not exactly as you want but its at least closer to your requirements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15782324&postcount=403
as per other posts that clearly don't belong in the dev forum, the OP gets the video.
we all are new to many things, if we are not able to help then we also should not point out fingers. Simply get respect by giving respect.

wow nice response
i guess being a 30yo man with a 6month old to take care of i dont have the time to sit down and make roms. i have tried nearly every rom and theme and i dont like them. back when i had a sgs1 a guy posted he would make custom roms for ppl, figured someone here mite do the same. if its too much effort, dont make me one, simple
ppl add too much stuff that is useless to me and looks unatractive and makes the ui look like a preschool child drew it
things ppl add that i dislike
overscroll glow
battery percentage (i use fancy widgets, it has battery percentage)
changing the wifi and 3g/H to green. i prefer white on all of them
i dislike transparency on menus. makes it hard to read the menu
i like having customisable ext menu
i dont like making all the menu items one colour, stock colours are fine
id like a aosp style lock menu, or at least change the message colour from orange to blue
crt off would be nice as long as its working properly
so as you can see there is no other rom out there like that
i offered to pay so its not like im being a cheap skate expecting someone to stop everything they are doing just for me
video was funny, so im not offended if thats what u were trying to accomplish

The posts are due to you not reading the rules i guess rather than the fact you have asked for a personal rom build .
Personally i dont care what or where you post as forum gone to hell in a bucket as regards rules .

I don't think your wishes are irrelevant but they may be a little unrealistic - poll 100 people in here and they'd all want something slightly different from their ROM. So building a ROM may be unrealistic given the other demands on your time, but learning a bit of theming - which is what most of your wishlist seems to be about - isn't and may be your way forward. You may even get a more positive response to your enquiry on the Themes forum.
You are getting the negative vibes because your post is clearly posted in the wrong place - this is not the place for questions of this type, as clearly stated in several places.
ok so i wrote it in the wrong section
move it then, im not a mod so i cant.
whats wrong with the world today, i asked a question and got smashed for it, instead of baggin the **** outta me, point me in the right direction
ive looked at every theme here for sgs2, none interest me. and i wont flash a rom with things i wont be happy with.
i honestly have hardly any time to learn how to make them, i work, i take care of baby, i sleep (very little) i work again. i get a few hours every now and then to mess with my phone, so far its just been flashing the latest leaked roms
if i had more time i wouldnt be putting this request out there, id try make one myself
like i said, u dont wanna make it, then dont
u wanna help ppl, then move my thread to the right section
i apologise i put it in the wrong section im a n00b after all

You have the time to try each roms but don't have the time to try to learn by yourself.
You are ready to pay for it,it is your choice but please, just be clear.
You don't want to make your customROM ( others occupations)
You wan't to pay someone to do the job for you . the end

Find a ROM you like that's the closest to what you want. Then you could theme it using Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. Hope that helps.

If you don't have then use the ROMs here or don't buy a phone your not happy with. Nobody will want to make a ROM for you. No time that is your problem. I am a noob too but I read the rules.
I guess you can wait for the public rom kitchen once available ( you proly dont need to wait much longer )
After that you should be able to learn just a few things about themeing or some1 will probably make a black white theme.
I understand that it may be easy for some1 experienced to make exactly the rom you want but i don't believe some1 will bother , having to deal with updates/bugs e.t.c.
Rom kitchen and a few themeing abilities is the most realistic approach as i see it
p.s. sorry for my miss-spelling , too many beers
Well someone out there was kind enough to make me one and is helping with updates. I had a look at what was involved in making one and I just don't understand everything. I look forward to the kitchen release coz ive used it with my sgs and it was great. Thanks to the ppl who actually helped

You will be surprised maybe, but the Galaxy Ace is actually not made for games
The funniest part in my opinion is that many users do post just to flame on noobs, instead of contribute.
Of course that every head is a separate world, but as noobs (which I consider myself) have to be more responsible; also do the normal user should be more polite.

Hello community,
I am a Flash/HaXe developer and I have done some a few app tests with my Samgun Galaxy ACE....
Anyway, irrelevant. What i need to say is that I wanted to post some ideas in the jellaxy android 4.1 thread, so I registered and now the system is forcing me to post 10 times before beeing able to post some ideas in the thread I would like to post... What is the point of this filter?
XDA forum needs 10 silly posts from me to prove i am not a robot.... seriously??? After 2 captchas, 1 confirmation email and human question in the registration form? You kidding me?
Plus the demotivating video might be funny for some people but really is not the best welcome intro video at all for anything, with sentences you "are NOT special" and "you hate yourself"...
9 posts left.. maybe when I get to themIi dont even have the same phone or my idea would be irrelevant then..
I don't fell like wasting everyones time posting trivial things...Anyways... what would you do? Would you do it just to get to that post? Isn't that exactly what the filter was created for???
Remember, I just don't have any questions. I only have suggestions to a very specific project!
This was made to prevent noobs from posting crap in DEV threads before they gain some experience. (Most of new users are noobs.)
BTW if you have an idea and you want to say it to someone specific (for example to some developer), you can drop him a PM.

Hello guys,
First to say thanks for contributing to the community, having android in 4.1 in galaxy ace is pretty nice...
Now I need to clarify that Im writting directly because I can't post on the threads as I am too new on the forum!
I wanted to say that if you think supercharger V6 is very useful then it should be added to the "CyanogenMod 10 'Jellaxy'" (samsung galaxy ace) version after all. it is a really small script (<1MB) or if not, then use the medium settings to maximize speed without sacrifice much multi-tasking anyway.
Think about it.
Cheers!
Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.
