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.
Best Hardware + Best Software =
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...

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?

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.

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.

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.

Sense UI is proprietary, meaning that unless I've got my ip laws confused, they can sue the **** out of anyone who ports this htc software to non-htc phones. and of course, not to mention that they'll lock down anything proprietary pretty good, just like sony did with x10 bootloaders.
I mean c'mon many are buying htcs because of sense, if you could port it to another phone and it was better design etc won't people migrate to using that phone? htc would want to protect its business interests.

See , that's my point
I don't understand apart from :
1.HTC Locations ( zero loading maps) => Uncomparable
2.Friend Stream (with amazing facebook integration) => Timescape is a little worse
3.The clock widget => Use a Skinned and moddified and Beautiful Widgets pack
4.Skinning your launcher => ADW and LauncherPro
It is Just the name HTC Sense which increases it's value...
All custom UI's are good in their own ways
Sense is the best among them
But It is very hard to port , I'm working on it !
not TMS but actual Sense

There is some possibility that GS3 will have a porting of the HTC sense?

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.

If you used you computer for searching you could try the Sense-port ROM which should be rather unstable or in a non-working state...
But why do the work yourself when you can start a new topic to fill the board...
A simple search would have helped. Sense4 ROM is being ported to the S2. It isn't really usable right now. No other ROM is "Sense-like" for the SGS II. Why don't you just get AOSP/AOKP? Much better if you ask me. Maybe you can apply Sense Theme using the Theme Chooser in CM9/AOSP/CM10/AOKP ROMs?
Just try the ROMs and read like everybody else.

Depends on what part you want to theme. Status bar icons would be relatively easy but if talking about sense widgets that's hard to do because sense launcher ie Rosie uses something called m10 files which are very difficult to work with and on sense 4.0 there is only one team that I'm aware of that has accomplished it. But a number of other launchers have sense themes just search sense in the play store.
And just for the record to the others talking about sense. 4.1 is nothing like the older versions far lighter and less intrusive. I've been on miui v4 cm9 cm10 and I keep going back to sense based roms.

I don't mind the looks, as long as it's blazing fast, extremely smooth n compatible with all hardwares on Xperia S, that's fine.
Sense ports are very hard. I've done 2 before and both were given up. If you want Sense looks for tutorials for the UI from my YouTube or if you want speed, look for a fast ROM and make the transition and windows animations on fast/0.5x

I've a fd using HTC Sensation XE n he he installed more apps n widgets than me, but his phone still extremely smooth n fast, both my Xperia S n his Sensation XE r running on stock ICS 4.0.4 n both phone using the exact same chipset, CPU n GPU, his phone only got 768MB RAM rather than 1024MB on mine, his phone used to hv 160MB RAM free n my phone used to hv 200MB RAM free.
So theoretically my phone should be faster n smoother.
