Can we port HTC Sense from HTC Wildfire S to the Xperia Active/Mini/MiniPro/Live?
i'll try making a port once i figure out my live if i can ofcourse cos i've always been a fan of htc sense
I created the HTC Sense theme for my Xperia Mini Pro similar to my previous project for X10mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821790
I can share my XMP HTC sense theme is anyone interested in
It is my understanding that Sense is incredibly difficult/next to impossible to port a fully functioning Sense system to any other brand of device - so best of luck
Your best bet, in my opinion, is to make an amalgamation of all of the best Sense themes around.
Also, Launcher Pro is very easily themed to look like Sense, there are even widget skins that look the part!
I see no one interested

Hi... Can we get new Sense 3.0 (or Sense 3.5) on Legend?
Sense 3.0 has more function than Sense 2.1. It is more beautiful.
I know someone make sense 2.1 on legend. I think sense 3.0 can also be ported on legend.
I hope that it gets ported from the htc sensation or the htc pyramid. But i don't know if it's possible.
From what I've heard Sense 3.0 needs allot of performance and the legend isn't powerful enough, but hey i could be wrong lets just let the devs decide
Requirements
HTC confirmed that the all-new HTC Sense
3.0 enhancements will only appear on a
select few of the company’s 2011 Android
hardware range – the EVO 3D, HTC Flyer
and Sensation, via twitter

I hate this policy...want upgrade? get a new model...This way I could as well be buying a new handheld every half year...

Damn these 2 year contracts. Also, I spy another stupidly off topic thread coming up. And we'll get Sense 3.0 tomorrow

Can't wait
this is how the company makes money
People have this running on hdpi htc devices like the desire. However unless htc releases this for a lower spec phone i doubt we'll get it.
I wouldn't count on it.
If we can convert the sense 3.0 from HDPI to MDPI maybe we can have sense 3.0 on legend.
I doubt it, but even if we did it would be really laggy. Maybe we'll get features from Sense 3.0 for ogo2's Gingerbread Sense ROM like they do on the Desire? They have the lockscreen among other Sense 3.0 features. That ROM isn't even fully working yet so maybe that'll be a suggestion for the future.

Don't forget the HDPI version is already resized...and without (maybe even with) heavy optimizations I doubt the Ardeno 200 has a computing power / consumption ratio that would enable you to have Sense 3 and some reasonable durability...
before you talk about sense 3 wait for the final sense 2.1 rom for legend.
Ya, Sense 2.1 Beta 2 is out, and its amazing ROM. IDK if Sense 3.0 would be possible to port.
Does Sense 3.0 comes to the Wildfire S?

Unless it unlocks the CPU to run on 1,2 GHz it won't
I think sense 3.0 roms are to large for the Legend
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
I don't think it's a matter of size.... once resized to MDPI and optimized most of resources (images) would have been nearly 75% smaller than "originals" from HDPI
I know some XDA devs tried before to port Sense on SGS without real success, but now that the Sensation is totally locked and that lot of HTC devs will get the SGS2 instead perhaps that the pros of Sense roms will port Sense 3.0 on SGS2...What do you think?
I would love sense 3.0 on sgs2 as well. Am pretty sure the hardware is fully capable
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
That would be great. The locked bootoader of the HTC Sensation will be one reason for me to switch to the Galaxy I9100. To keep the good Sense experience would be a nice gadget.
Cheers Lars
I posted this in another thread but.. I really like this idea. I know its hard but it works. If the milestone with it's locked bootloader can run sense 2.0 then SGSII definitely can. it just needs the right developers.
Because of the locked Bootloader I had to buy the SGS2 instead the Sensation, but I have to say, Touch Wiz is no Match for Sense. Missing it and would love to see that excellent Userexperiênce on the SGS2.

MORE CAPABALE than even the sensation!
in a much better form factor!
Sgs 2 + sense 3.0 = dream!
unfortunately porting sense isnt as easy as it was for the WM version..

I'd like to see this too, just switched from a HTC Desire running sense 2.1/3.0 to a SGS2 and touchwiz is beaten hands down. The contacts and dialer app is the best I've come across on android, way better than stock/touchwiz/GoContacts
I was actually thinking about this question yesterday and was wondering if anybody made a thread about it yet... well I guess this answers my question of the day then.
If this gains enough interest im sure people will be willing to work on it. I have seen videos of sense 2.0 on a SGS and motorola milestone, so lets hope for the best

I would love to see this too! I miss sense bad! Touch wiz or any third party launcher can't compare in my eyes.
wonder if we can port this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044637&highlight=sense
#Many other phones have got sense 3.0 port.. is it more diffucult to port to non-htc phonrs?
Sense is the best android ui imho, i would definitely love to see it ported on my sgs2
I would love to have sense on my sgs2. I mean touch wiz is ok but sense is much nicer imo. I wouldn't be able to do anything to help, although I would, and I'm sure many others would, make a donation to any one willing. It wouldn't be much though I'm a poor student lol

ive just come from a hd2 with coredriod NAND sense rom....and I do miss sense!but the phone is the dogs...fancy widget for the weather and clock, looks identical to HTCs, sense would be good tho!
Partner has Desire S and it does have a lovely interface, but I actually like TouchWiz 5
New Touchwiz improved a lot but Sense is still much much better I think.. I hope someone ports this over..
Sense is build on Rosie UI and it's directly related to HTC hardwares, like if it searchs for an ''HTC signed'' screen or BT module.
Though like we always says in software world and more specially in Linux...nothing is impossible!
You need devs who can break the links between Rosie (damn junkie lady) and HTC hardware to replace them with samsung ones.
Also it would be easier to build Sense over a standar gingerbread rom than over Touchwiz
The Nexus S galaxysense dev says the galaxysense team is close to getting data working, meaning almost all hardware will work already, I hope we will see a sgs2 port soon too
hi guys
why devs cant port sense 3.0 to x10
is it impossibel or it is only for htc phone and not working on non htc phone
i hope can someone port it to our x10 it will be amazing

I believe HTC Sense requires quite a bit of OS integration. Maybe even more than what Sony Ericsson uses with their Rachael interface.
Also, HTC has claimed that Sense 3.0 has certain hardware specs (most likely available RAM) that had to be met. That was the reason why they didn't update Sense for older HTC hardware such as the Supersonic/EVO 4G (although XDA devs have already come up with custom ROMs for the EVO 4G that have Sense 3.0).
There should be 3rd-party launchers, home screens, lock screens, widgets, themes, etc. that can be used to simulate the look and feel of Sense 3.0 without having to create some kind of custom ROM image. Have you tried that route?
Hello every one...
i was just wondering if someone can port a sense rom for the xperia U ? i think it would be awesome for sense lovers
can someone port a sense rom for it ?!!
Hey there Sayed.
A Sense ROM is going to be a hard one to achieve for our handheld devices to be honest mate.
For pretty much 2 reasons : 1) Sense ROMS are hardware dependant ( They do check if your device is a HTC or not)
and 2)Sense is a copyright'ed product,which means that the user who ported Sense to our devices will get a lawsuit for Copyright infringement.
But to be honest ,while i know everyone has his own tastes,i dont know whats so special about Sense,my gf's HTC Evo 3D has Sense and tbh,i hate it. Its more confusing ,more resource consumer and not exactly that pretty.
If you want a taste of sense on your phone,just download Sense Analog Clock widget and the Sense theme for Go Launcher EX.
Respect

2 thing is wrong
You can port without copyright issues, because Android is open source.
Sense is ported to other non htc devices

There's already port of sense for galaxy nexus. It doesn't really works in 100%, but boots, so maybe those two are not really issues. Maybe someone hacked it to think that gnex.is HTC or something, but that's somehow possible to port sense.

google it, it'll give you sense dock and stock google app drawer.
u can wait for cm9 or cm10 and get htc theme for those , i have cm10 ( xperia ray ) and it looks like htc
its somehow being ported here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956936
but i think as our hardware is way too Different for other devices its really hard to port it,,
Hi guys, seeing there are many good roms for ray thanks to the great developers present here in XDA. My friend is using galaxy y and i switch here and there sometimes, so i noticed this every rom developed for galaxy y has some difference in them even though they are generated from touch wiz, for example transparent interface and other stuff. Why all the roms for ray come with the sony or nova or apex launchers only and not any customized launchers and in xperia x8 section i saw htc port for xperia. So guys if you are planning to develope roms further for ray pls try to implement any one of these like sense,touchwiz ports etc...
thanks guys for reading this and i hope someone develops a rom with combined functionality cheers mates
Well, I had a Xperia X8 in the past (I killed it by trying to unlock the bootloader lol), and the "HTC port" is not more than Android Gingerbread 2.3.7 with a skinned launcher and official HTC wallpapers. Somebody said that it was not possible to port real Sense because X8 hardware limitations.
However, ROMS like CM7 were very well ported, before destroying my X8 I could use a CM7 based ROM (I think it was GingerDX) with everything working (even in locked bootloader), like AOSP lockscreen, moving apps to SD and fake multitouch (both things not possible with SONY official stock ROM for X8), etc.
Now, the reason of releasing ROMs with Xperia official Launcher is because most developers and users in this section are SONY fans I guess (that's why we got a SONY device). A friend of mine owns a Samsung Galaxy and touchwiz is not a big deal, it has some kind of nice stuff but at the end it's not 100% customizable. I mean, I didn't see anything awesome on it. In fact, my friend saw my Ray with JellySandwich and liked more than his own phone and now he wants to skin touchwiz to make it look like NXT lol.
I've read some comments about Sense, some people claim it's heavy and that's why they want to get rid of it and install AOSP over their HTC phones, but I exactly don't know if this is true 'cause I've never used one, but I can tell you that things from Sense like lockscreen and music player look good, I'd like to have them on my Ray.
In any case, I think Xperia developers should also have a Samsung or HTC device to start playing with it and try to port that stuff to Xperia, but honestly I don't see any big interest on it. I mean, currently ROMs are wonderful enough, JellySandwich, IceCream Pureness, Hybrid, etc...
Well for me I don't include those stuff cuz I choosed sony and I bought sony. That generally means I like sony.
