Haven't heard anything on the Sense 3.0 UI for SGS2 this will be really amazing if someone can port it. It is really awesome UI.

Yep, a Sense UI 3.0 Port would be the most badass thing. Sense UI is probably the best Android UI around, and on the SGS2, it would run kickass.

Agree, would be really nice to see it for SGS2

This should be posted in the Q&A section not here.
Also, AFAIK there will never be a Sense rom for the SGS 2, as Sense is not open source. If you want sense you'll need to buy an HTC phone first.

+1 on that

If You did not create the ROM, KERNEL, FIX, MOD, APP, HACK, GUIDE, or if it's not a SOURCE CODE then it should go to Galaxy S II General as it doesn't belong in Development
If your thread can be phrased as a question, it DEFINITELY doesn't belong in Development either.

Not true...
They said it about the sgs 1 ...hey I've even seen honeycomb from the tablet on the sgs 1 ..
I have a feeling it will pop up on the forums one day ... I know the dev's...maybe when its complete on the sgs 1 they may think about it...
I'd say sense will come to the sgs 2 someday though

It's already difficult to have CM7 and MIUI running on SGS2 so porting the most difficult framework to be ported right now is a dream!
Regretfully only the Sense devs can do it but they still stick to Sensation, somebody have to turn them into the sammy side of the force

i tested it on a htc sensation it is nice to have but not nessasary or not?

I simply love the weather part of Sense 3.0 in the lockscreen,animations with sound and widget!
An app could do it but still didn't find one, Go Weather is using the same animations but without sound and the launching logo is crap, if only they could repair these...

Sense HD?

Hi
I am only getting this phone because it is the best specification phone I haven't tried the touch Whizzo but HTC make the best software but not phones unfortunately
So I am asking will any1 be able to port sense HD?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I've made a Sense theme for CM7, so as soon as the Galaxy S2 gets CM7, which I'm sure will happen fast, you can use the theme on it... far easier than porting a sense rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11660869
edit: then again, you still won't have sense app enhancements and stuff, but something is better than nothing right?
why does everyone want this.. the phne is not even out yet.. if you really want sense go buy a htc phone ad quit whinning.
thanks for the theme,
and yeah i do have a htc phone but this samsung galaxy s 2 has the best specs than any htc phone so this phone combined with htc sense will be a beast!
Does any one think this can happen?

Sense is overrated.
Yes you should be able to use HTCs Sence UI because Exynos is using NEON whereas Tegra2 doesnt.
Depends which 1 phones 4 u supplies because there are to versions

Meh, I was never too fond of Sense. Using my friend's Inspire for a few minutes though, I found that it was nicer than all of the other stock launchers.
I didn't like not being able to edit the total number of screens though.
I too, am interested in this. It gives people options so why not port Sense over? I want to see whether they can port all those cool features over like flipping their phone over to silence a call or ringing louder in a bag.
What about sense 3.0 the sgs2 with the new sense will be amazing

No please not the disney version of sense.
Don't get me wrong, but those colors on the sensation....brrrr..... welcome to disney.
I would really love to see a Sense port but it will be very hard to port it... the only successful ports are for devices with identical specs - example Sense from Desire on Nexus One...
There was a port for the Galaxy S but it had too much things that don't work and were very hard to solve (as Sense and drivers are not open source)...
Loved sense on windows mobile especially combined with the white GTX theme on my hd2,
but can't say I'm a big fan of it on android. Weird, I know, or maybe not so weird,
since I like a minimal clean look better, not screens cluttered with widgets.
Am tied in between in getting a sensation or sgs2 hardware wise galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touch wiz that's why we need a port
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'd like to see a sense port. However only for the sake of having a bigger variety of roms to flash.
I found that when I had my Inspire that Sense was way to bloated for me. I gave it a fair shot but for now I prefer TW over Sense. But AOSP > Any carrier software.
I would just stick with TouchWiz or go for AOSP if possible. Sense looks cool and all, but a port is as easy as it seems. More so, theming will be the solution for time being.

[Q] [QUERY] HTC SENSE on GALAXY S2

well i really really want to buy Galaxy S2 ... its just that I feel I would be missing out on HTC Sense if I go with this one instead of HTC EVO 3D !
Question to ROM DEVS:
Is there any chance of getting htc Sense PORTED to GALAXY S2 ??
Would like to say yes but no... If it was ever ported it would be crippled beyond belief, to the point where you would prefer a HTC Hero)

if a lot of people is asking for it , that´s because it´s good and they want.
Don´t me rude man . I don´t know if u like sense or not , but it´s a personal opnion and i TOTALLY support sense on galaxy s II.

Why wouldn't there be a way? Is it just HTC has locked it or is it just THAT complex to do...?

still only you will get old sense v2 feel.but newer sense 3 in sensation is cool,if any one ported that will be cool.
Post in the right place... Geez
And try searching.
Anything is possible, but the output is likely useless, with a barely working rom tbh
As a point of reference, Sense ports on SGS1 were all dead in the water.
Just don't hold too much hope for it. It ain't coming in working form anytime soon.
using laucherpro and other widgets can give you the sense look...

[Q] No themes for those without root?

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I don't know why I can't seem to find the answer.
A while ago, we had the Androidian theme, for those of us who aren't rooted. Since T-mobile's OTA update to 2.3.4, that theme no longer works. I don't like any of the launcher programs, and was wondering why no one else bothered to make themes tow ork with our phones. I don't want to root it just to flash a new ROM since there is no use to me. I do like the stock HTC Desire HD 'theme'.. I think most of you just call it Sense. Can someone tell me why it is that there are no themes for our phones? Is it hard to make it work with our version of the UI?
Thanks in advance.
If u want themes u can try home replacement apps on the market like go launcher launcher pro adw launcher they have high customization features and themes

Aye, as stated in my original post, I'm trying to stay away from launcher programs. I'm just curious if it's really that difficult, or if no one runs stock roms on this phone.

This whole time I've been on Android, I've kept myself out of the development section because I've had 13 exchanges over the past 11 months..
I mean, what would custom roms give me that the stock rom doesn't?

To answer your last question. What isn't it giving you.
Running a custom rom let's you fully modify your rom, themes galore. Running cm7, you have a there chooser app that let's you switch theme out constantly. If you pick sense, there's so many variety to pick from. Having your phone stock is like owning Lincoln logs, you can only do so much. If your rooted, your playing with Lego's, there's no limit to what can happen.
Edit: if you have a question, go to the q&a section. some people get annoyed, if you post in the wrong area. Just a heads up.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

That right there is more reason to root. When I was on stock I had numerous problems and numerous returns, oh and tmobiles solution to everything...a master reset. Since root I haven't had a single issue. Most of the devs roms are far more superior than the crap HTC ships on the phone or what tmobile thinks you should like. Good luck on stock themes because no one will but in the effort to theme it.

Why wouldnt u wanna root???? That crazy man.
Though I realize rooting isn't for everyone, I will make a short list of reasons to do so:
Speed, most of not all custom roms are faster than stock. That includes custom sense roms.
Battery life: underclocking and undervolting your phone can extend the battery life.
Tethering: most of us have issues paying twice for internet access. I already pay twenty bucks a month, why should I give you fifteen more to use the CAPPED internet I already pay for?!
Themeing: the options are near limitless. If you need proof, check the threads for home screens in the general Android themes section.
Removal of unwanted bloatware. Tmobile TV, games you don't want, etc.
Back up. nandroid backups are complete.
These are some of the reasons why I root. I am sure there are more!

Sense on Galaxy s3?

Hi,I like so much Galaxy S3,but for mt HTC sense is the best UI for smartphone!
There is some possibility that GS3 will have a porting of the HTC sense?
[fortune-telling ball]
maybe, someday
[/fortune-telling ball]
and so it begins
inb4 buy One X
...
If you want sense buy a one X
Once I get my Sense Note ported It might be able to be ported from Note --> S3.

Simple: Sense 4 wins over TW. But, removable battery and sdcard slot win over the one x's non removable battery and no slot.
If sense can be ported, it'd be win win..since you cant exactly mod a onex to have the battery + sdcard capabilities.
I'm using sense right now and its terrible compared to touchwiz. Just more give it a little time it will grow on you and it will be way more functional than sense.

It's called personal preference....he prefers the hardware of the Samsung but the UI of Sense. Why does everyone always question why the next man wants or does something? The fact that can even do this kind of stuff is awesome, embrace it. Could have an iPhone and be stuck with nothing more than themes.

That would be nice and I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for that.
Tbh I think a good clean aosp build would be better, the Samsung firmware right now is based on IMM76D, aosp is on IMM76L and contains some of the linaro optimisations and we could do with that. Its the latest code available.
Sense would be nice but a nice clean unbloated aosp rom would be my main priority.
Sense= bloated but nice theme/colors
Like it more then aosp, doubt sense would run good but I would try it just for fun

I would like to se Sense on the S3 to.
I always had HTC Phones before and this year I bought the S3, my first Samsung.
The first thing I noted with Touchwiz was, that I can´t make Shortcuts to
Direct Dial, Direct Message, etc.
That was so easy with my Sense 3,5.
Maybe I just dont know how to use Touchwis.. But I prefer Sense.

Is Anybody Planning on Making a Sense ROM?

Just curious. I might get this phone if there are plans for that.
Additionally, does this phone have the NFC in it?

Having come from a HTC device, which I ran as aosp, my comments are;
Sense widgets were easily replaced from the market. Many alternatives were superior to the sense equivalent.
You cannot have sense widgets without the sense kernel and framework
If it's touchwiz you dislike, just get a launcher from the market.
As a former AOSP developer, I have to recommend that you stay with sammy plus launcher for a while. Sammy roms are feature packed and you will lose loads by going to aosp. Don't jump ship until you know what you've got and whether or not you want it.
