Has anyone ever worked on bringing this port to the Vibrant? I really love the Espresso rom, but haven't seen it for the Vibrant.
Please be kind enough to let me know if there is the Espresso port running out in the wild or at least why it hasn't been done? Is there a lack of demand for it or is it a very hard port to do?

It's the same concept as porting HTC sense. Yes it's hard. And technically, illegal to a degree.
Check out the vibrant dev section.... There is in fact a Sense port being developed at this time... In that thread there are youtube videos which the developer barakinflorida has posted showcasing the progress he has made... unfortunately, he seems to be working solo at this point in time but I have a feeling Eugene will jump in at any time... My feeling is Vibrant owners are closer than ever to having a full Sense port..

But when you say sense port are you talking about mytouch 4g or stock HTC Sense? Thanks to both of you for the quick response. I ask because it seems like the Nexus One its the only phone with that port. I tried it before on my N1 and it was almost good enough to be a daily driver.

Dude like I said all the answers you need are in that post, in addition I do not believe it is the mytouh4g sense port but the Desire rom version of sense, which I have heard is superior...

No offense to you, but I clearly stated that I am looking for the myTouch 4g port not HTC Sense. Thanks anyways. I guess we do not have a Dev working on bringing Espresso Sense to our Vibrant.

Lol, and I clearly stated all the answers including what version of sense is being ported can be found in that thread. Also, this may be considered wishful thinking but perhaps once that sense port is fully working this may open the doors to other versions of sense being ported, however this is not an easy task hence the wishful thinking...

I know how you feel im using ViperRom and it's fantastic BUT I miss stock android... launcher pro and disabling sense just isn't cutting it for me...
It's been a couple days(stupid hurricane) is anybody getting really close? I kinda liked the new sense when I got the 3d, but as time goes on I keep replacing all the sense stuff anyways. The only thing sense I use and like nowadays is the notification pulldown.

I really love AOSP but don't want to lose the 3D features and MHL. I will definitely try ICS though when it hits.

That was my dilemma on the OG4G. I liked the snappiness and vanilla feel. But I couldn't see killing a feature that made the phone unique. (4G). So I always went back to sense.
I don't see me moving to an AOSP if 3D and MHL die. :/

We can, or will be able to. EMMC phones are quad booting roms! Nobody has made it work for us yet because there is no reason, yet. All the roms are pretty much the same. Some roms look this way, others that way, in the end they all have same mods to them over the same base. CM can be had faster IF cyanogen got more involved, look how fast they got CM booting on the TouchPad, maybe a bounty would speed things up around here

Qualcomm released all of the source for 3D so there should be no issue there. It was stated on cyanogens twitter

I was just thinking, after I browsed the forums.. of how pathetic some people have been..
"Oh the 3d sucks. The development sucks.... I'm going to get the SGS2 epic touch 4g..."
My cousin has it and honestly our dev section is way way better. Right now I'm using kushdeck's rom as a daily... they have a wip with no downloadable. I don't even know what works. Or how far they are...
This is the same as the skyrocket dev section.. but here its worse.
They are mostly stock with some themes... and the themes are just color changes...

Forgot to say thanks to all the great devs here have tried all of the roms... and I like the fact that I like a couple of them.

Yeah I agree. I use both the evo 3d and ep4g. I like the evo 3d dev section so much stuff to choose from. Every week I use a different rom changing themes throughout the week. My friends think my phone is the coolest compared to their iphones
The only thing i hate is there is so many sense rom.

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.

I agree. If it was as easy to port Sense to a phone without it, then it is to get rid of it from a phone that already has it, there would be a lot of people using Sense on phones like the Galaxy series. It's amusing, really.

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..

Well, dev's have successfully ported over some sense ROM's with higher versions of android and Sense Software. Can someone manage to port over Sense 1.0, like the OG EVO has ATM. I am willing to test everything out, it can't be that hard, right?
Sense 1.0 was the original sense on the HTC hero I believe and was android 1.5
Why would you want that?

You know what? I thought of that a longgg time ago but never said anything cuz I thought I'd get flamed lol...that would be really interesting though I wonder how the battery would be too
I don't believe any version of sense below 3.0 was made for qhd devices. Therefore to port an older version of sense would require a lot of re-sizing and m10 editing I believe. I think someone would have to be really dedicated to the project to put in the time required. That being said, I think sense 2.1 would run extremely well on this phone. The downsides would be that you'd have to run gingerbread, you'd lose some features, and of course the tedious re-sizing of many of the images. The idea is interesting though!

what about just using an AOSP rom? you get 4.0, NO overlay (so faster), and there are already people working on it.
Sense
What about using other launchers, like GO and others?
IMO a monumental waste of good development time that can be better spent with ICS and soon to be JellyBean. We did everything we could to get rid of it on the Hero as fast as possible. We ported 3.5 and never looked back.
Just my 2 pennies. If someone did put the work into it. Kudos. But I sure am not going to.

Let's go super retro (relatively speaking) and get a home/launcher that's like TouchFLO on the Touch Diamond 2! I thought that was awesome when I had that phone.
Windows Mobile wasn't all bad.

Kinda agree with nineinch and drachen. If u really want to go that far back just use a senseless Rom. The android 1.5 and sense 1.0 is really such a step back that aosp should give u the speed your looking for and actually look better. And I am a huge sense fan saying this
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Ehh, not that amazing...
I've thought of this before, but in the end it's not really worth it. Sense 4 is really an improved sense 2.1.

You're basically asking for us to take body and engine off a Ferrari 458 and put them on a Toyota Corolla's chassis.
A) It's not that simple, B) You'd have a horrific time getting it to work and C) It most likely won't be a pleasant experience.

I've thought about pulling down the Donut branch from AOSP and testing it on these modern devices.
It was arguably the fastest Android flavor ever. I remember going to Eclair from Donut and feeling let down by the speed, requiring a faster processor.
Cool idea OP on doing Sense 1.0
Is there an easy way to port over roms?
There are tons of AOSP and AOKP roms for the different One X devices out there, and yet our development has stalled. There are also quite a few decent sense roms that we havent had a look at yet.
Is there an easy way to port it over? I know they use different radios and all that jazz, but there should be a way to port over the OS and keep the rest of the stuff.
Im willing to take on the task of porting over if there was some tool or directions.
Anyone?
I'd love to see some of those ROMs ported .. try asking the guy who ported over the Pokemon ROM .. Charmeleon

Yeah, so far I'm disappointed in the lack of development thus far. I know its only been about two months but I see other new phones with so many different options already. Mean ROM, is the only one that stands above the rest so far. If there were actually development going on, wouldn't the devs post some screen
Previews or something? Its way too quiet. I'll wait a few more months but might end up giving this to my wife if development doesn't start kicking off soon. Perhaps everyone jumped to the GS3

As stated in other threads, this forum is stilll pretty young. We just gotta be patient and the roms and ports will come. Or just find a one x rom you like and ask your favorite dev to port it. Theyre all pretty cool, chaances are they porbably would when time allows.
