Hey guys,
HTC just announced the HTC Explorer which is very much identical to the Aria hardware wise. That phone runs Sense 3.5 on Android 2.3.5. I was wondering if we could port that Sense 3.5 to the Aria using this phone's rom when it is either leaked or actually released or something. You can head over to Engadget to check out the phone.

This does seem quite possible. It's RUU is here: http://www.multiupload.com/QGQN6KUNRT .
The build.prop of the explorer says its armv7.... except its a MSM7227, so it should be armv6...

Will there be a legend 2.2 sense port, if so how long will we be waiting
This has been asked countless times. If the legend gets 2.2, then it's highly likely there will be a port. Being as we don't know if/when it will get 2.2, nobody can say.
Thought HTC announced the legend getting 2.2

Not as far as I know. A quick Google search shows nothing, and I haven't heard anything elsewhere.

Maybe possible to port something from HTC Ace/Desire HD with
Froyo and Sense UI:

Oooo my bad then, sorry! Haven't seen that article before. If it's true then i'm pretty sure we will!
I thought putting sense ona rom should be easy copy over some libs,framework-res.apk from a sense rom, services.jar, rosie.apk and a couple of other htc stuff but obviously not
anyone think we can port over the HTC Flyer onto our GTabs
the HTC Flyer is launching with OS 2.2 (Froyo) with 3.0 (Honeycomb) expected "sometime soon"
What are you wanting ported?
Im gonna go with sense, I think HTC sense would be great on our Gtabs.

I do not think a Sense port would be possible due to the fact that HTC is tied heavily to Qualcomm processors and not the Tegra2.
so the htc bliss leaked and a few phones are running sense 3.5
someone can port it for us?
would be awesome

Its totally different to abuse htc's social networks, from making a petition that noone cares. Not even htc.
It won't happen. It's too late in their development process to make sense 4.0 for our devices. There probably already finished with 3.6 they are just waiting for final confirmation and allowance from carriers to push it. Although I'm not sure lol

I'd rather have sense 3.6 sorry. We don't have the hardware to run 4.0 completely.

I mean our cameras can't do imagesense. Why would htc use 4.0 on our phones then? I could care less about imagesense but I'm sure htc does.

Evidently according to Mike in the Sensation forum they are going to be rolling out Sense4.0 to the Sensation in the next build and that they should see Beta RUU's leaking out n the near future...

HTC said that the new image processor is an important part of sense 4.0. So yeah that spec is something our phones don't have. How true that noone will know unless HTC gave us the Sense 4.0 source code.
They said first to that HTC Desire HD wouldnt get Sense 3.0 and it still got it. So who knows we will get Sense 4.0 official to.
We will see then. But I don't worry about an small think like that as there is already an sense 4.0 rom and I'm sure as soon we have official ICS for our device that the devs will make an fully functional sense 4.0 rom.

Important part lol..
They rebuild Sense 4.0 from the ground up! It's based on Sense 2.1 iirc, which is the best Sense version imho. The image crap they put in is nice, but it's more a brand thing.. like "Wow HTC has a dedicated Image Processor for better quality!". You can compare it to the Beats integration, it's cool to have it, but it doesn't add a whole lot to the overall experience.

So you've seen the code and see it's based on sense 2.1? It may look similar but we don't know what's under the hood yet.
I'm sure the bigger reason is they don't want to spend the money to rewrite the code for older phones, or the carriers don't want to split the bill for that work. Plus the non-vocal majority of people who own these phones will be quite upset if their phone UI is changed to something they're not used to. It's similar to Apple not giving you Siri on an Iphone 4 vs 4s. We all know that work is server side so it's not the processor, it's the fact that Apple wants you to buy a 4s vs a 4.
Does it suck, sure, but I can see the reasons on their end they went with sense 3.6 instead. Atleast we're getting ICS and an updated sense.
Better question is what does 4.0 offer that 3.6 does not...exactly.

Its true Sense 4.0 is much different from Sense 3.0. And be honest I think its an big change. So I can understand if they not include Sense 4.0 in the updates for HTC Evo 3D and HTC Sensation.
On our EVO 3d? I mean like it looks awesome. It would be cool.
You could try out the sense 4 rom
Just try ICS cusrom with sense 4.0 or wait for the official. Even the inferior One V could run it, Evo 3D must be capable of it, too.

It's not about the specs [ie, ram, processor etc]. HTC have stated that all the HTC phones barring the One series don't have certain hardware components that is needed for Sense 4.0. Like the new Camera.
EDIT: I actually might be wrong check my post under the next 2

Yes but it doesnt have ZSL and all those other sense 4.0 goodies.
This isnt a debate. You will not be getting Sense 4.0 Officially. So either go flash up a unoficial Rom or just stop posting.
Hey guys, the decision to not update Sense 3.x phones to Sense 4.0 isn't related to technology; it's a business decision. HTC has to weigh the costs and benefits

it is hardware related too.....something called ImageSense is related to hardware components that are new to the entire one series...including the 'weakling' one V.
We will see sense 4.0 custom ROM with all the bells and whistles we want, once we get all the sources for ICS released. Its just a matter of time and these android updates are dragging it all the way.
