Hi
I search a HTC ROM that i can install to Xperia ray
I have attempted a htc rom port, which was aosp based, which may have worked( looked and felt like my previous rom, so couldn't tell if it was the same or not), but sense based did not after thorough attempts, I will attempt porting sense rom again in the future though.
I need sencse ;o

Buy htc^^.....since in my experience even if you get lucky enough to get booting port for your device, those get stucked in early dev stages because of limiting bugs

Because sometimes of DRM files
Closest ive came to sense on xperia ray is cm9 / cm10 / aokp sense theme hope that helps .
I the Arc section or in other, i don't remember, i developer tried to port a thc primo rom to xperia 2011 device....
It'salready a WIP
What's hot about sense anyway?
Skeuomorphic design is dated
It slow like slug on One V (the only phone I had from HTC before, for one month)
No function really useful compare to stock rom.
The only thing special in sense is the clock with weather (back to WM6.1 days, on HD2) which many widget on play store can do fine.
I see no reason to spend time and effort into porting it.
Good news, I found a Sense Launcher app in the Neo Themes section, which is itself ported from an app made for the desire hd(which suggests the source is from an original htc device, and not a copy), and managed to ask the guy who ported to the Xperia Neo, to re upload it, which he has kindly done, a little buggy but atleast thats something. click here

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong thread...
So, I was wondering if anyone had successfully ported the HTC Sense UI to the SGA yet? I recently read a post from a group of developers attempting to port it to the other Galaxy phones and actually made headway with their project. They released an alpha version of their ROM but then abandoned the project soon after. I was intrigued all the same and followed up on the alpha but it is no longer available. It was also created solely for four Galaxy series phones (none of which were the Ace).
It would appear that porting the Sense UI has gone stale somewhat so I was just speculating as to whether or not any developers are still actively creating such a ROM(s). Also, I've tried the LP Sense UI and immediately liked it. However I would love the real thing.
Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated

You can theme your Ace like Sense Look here (my current Design)
I was asking the same thing before.
fla.sh is working on HTC Sense framework theme. For now I have launcher and widget. Lockscreen - widget locker with single 3x4 sense slider.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14516484&postcount=4
As for launcher search for version 1.5.0.3. It's the newest one.
Very nice theme you've got going on there
As I said, I had the LP Sense UI and it's fantastic...but it doesn't quite do it for me. I would love to actually have HTC Sense on my Ace (as opposed to a launcher/skin). Only time will tell though.
I was somewhat gutted that teamgalaxysense abandoned their efforts. It looked as though they were making great progress. Oh well *sigh*
I really do hope someone develops an HTC Sense UI ROM though. I will quite happily to donate to the hero that does
Is it legal to port HTC sense UI ? I mean HTC sense UI is heavily copyrighted. Cyanogenmod developers had tried it before to include in official cyanogenmod and got the stick from HTC. Anyone trying to port should ask permission of HTC. And besides HTC sense UI is a huge resource hog.
Not sure about the legality of porting the Sense UI. I would think that it would infringe on any copyrights that HTC had made but I don't think it would stop people porting it (contributing to torrent websites is very much illegal but it doesn't stop millions of people doing it).
If anyone has successfully done so, I would very much like to hear about it and whilst I'm not encouraging anyone to break the law, I'd be more than inclined to use a ROM if anyone had any luck creating one.
I understand what you're saying though. Porting it could create a lot of unwanted attention from HTC and ultimately the authorities...

i dont know about legality thingy of sense, but here on xda got bunchload of non htc device got sense rom ported to it. if htc that much copyright freak as apple, even those launchers that mimics its sense ui might got sue by them.
Touché
*fingers crossed* for Sense on the Ace...

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

Yes it was useful Thank you. any other Sense porters please contact us.
I know a little about this but not enough to do it myself yet.
Thank you in case of that you want to help.

I think he needs a little rest...
racht said that he will port HTC kernel and that means fully working Sense rom as soon as he's back.
I don't know where he is or what is he doing, but he's on xda often. (last activity today).
And I think he's getting Xperia Ray - his post here. Also that's the last thing he posted.
Anyway, the man will spoke, and we shoud donate to him a new device if he's selling his one. To continue development. But, we need to wait until the man spokes!!
I appreciate racht so much, and I hope he doesn't forget our X8.
OH.

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Great to see your alive Racht! And whut o:? does this mean that this rom is a fully working CM7 release like my Blade has?
And Yes, I've heard about the basics of porting sense.
Even trough you would be the best teacher.
Does this mean That Your Leaving the Shakira forums now racht?
wow! is this ROM stable knowing that it came from cyanogen?? please can someone confirm this? it doesn't have any details of its features included on it...

As he wrote, he wouldn't be developing sense on X8. That's bad. Anyone want to take care of this project?
Blagus said that we have to port HTC kernel first, but it's .32 or newer kernel. We have only .29 now. Therefore it follows that we can't have sense on X8 now.

is stable but not complete!
It´s just the FXP 030, AFAIK.
to all the devs first of all thank you for your hard work. i know it takes time and time to build a nice not buggy rom and kernel,
and i know its hard cause of the lack of the wifi drivers and not having s-off, and i appreciate on staying with the amaze and not given up.
i know there are not many devs and i know working together can do more.
i was wondering if are there any thoughts on working on others roms
i know x been working on ics,
is it possible to port MIUI rom with miui camera in it not like the sensation that have the stock gb camera or CM like rom with the theme chooser apk
i heard before that it is easy to port roms from another htc android device i dont know i am not a dev you tell me. maybe not cause of the lack of s-off
i know if your thinking if i didnt like sense get another, but i do love sense but do like others ui like stock or miui base
and look at this rom for ICS looks cool

If you want it to look cool like ICS
-get adw launcher ex, download the ICS theme
-download widget locket and pick the ICS unlocker, and set the background of the clock to invisible
-download exdialer or exContacts and get the ICS theme

no offence to the OP but such kind of posts are stupid. Do you think the devs havent thought about it before you? you admit it you know nothing about roms and kernels but still you put yourself in the position of suggesting devs what according to you looks better. as seansk said just install couple of apps and make it look like the ones in the link you showed+that miui style is boring stressing iphone like stuff. just buy yourself an iphone 4 and you will be fine

yes i know the devs prolly thought about this, this is just a reminder in fack this message was for devs there is no business here for you,
if i wanted an iphone i would had stayed with it,
and i just suggested that cause its nice having difference roms not just sense
and i know the time it takes to build one.

u mean the dev I suppose? cuz I do not see any devs here other then Xboarder
p.s there is business for me wherever I want mister gipsy from texas
I wouldn't say this is at all a stupid thread. It lets xboarder know that there are lots of people that are looking forward to something else. As for rom developement, its tough because x is really the only person here who knows how to work with source code. A couple others are learning but it just takes time. O and superstar just picked up an amaze so hopefully he will jump in and help! He has an ics build on the hd2!
I would totally love miui as well but know X is really the only main dev here.
Also love when people just ask simple questions and get fired at like they are a moron I bet other people that know a lot were once noobs too.
I guess that's the way xda is and has become its sad that people have to be afraid to post a question or a topic.
Yes I agree search first but damn we all aren't geniuses

im very much fond of sense ui so i wanted it for my optimus one.
i've already given a try with LP but it is not par with the features of original sense!
some XDA members have made ports for O1 but all of them hav major bugs like wifi and mobile data. waiting for a stable release of those ported versions but it doesnt seem to me that the devs r working on em anymore.
i tried to fondle with the directories and framework myself but couldnt succeed. (me lika nub ).
So, can any of u make a stable sense rom for optimus one?
sincere thanks in advance.

This will most likely not ever happen. Sense is built deeply into the HTC framework and drivers so it will only work 100% on HTC devices.
thnx man...
but til what extent can someone fix the bugs? any idea?
i have HTC but i dont have Sense already
it take me 2 months to understand that sense is ... not the best ui
believe me

thanks you very much,
i will try it
i have a desire which has sense 1.9 ,,after a year it started to become slow etc although it has lots of nice stuff in it i think ure better off with a sense theme opposed to a ROM .
have you seen this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995627 a adw launcher themed like sense (a better option then true sense) also i think the optimums one doesn't have a sufficient processor to run sense smoothly ,sense is really heavy on phone memory.

the viper roms are rarely "identical" to one another, simply because they use different base roms for the respective phones...although the phones that use "ports" rather than the native roms are generally closer (the wvga phones for example)
however the tweak packages are very close to each other (some differences per phone largely based on some hardware features that one htc phone has that another may not) and each phone has its own "venom hub" with themes/mods/icon packs made for that phone or ones with similar resolutions
initially our phone may have less status bar/rosie/icon themes available when we eventually (i have no eta as we havent actually started work yet) do release, since there has never been a 1080p htc phone before....most existing themes/customizations from ics do work on jellybean...but they are meant for qHD, wvga, or HD (we are Full HD res) res phones
there wont be a "viper dna info thread" or anything like that...usually i just post stuff in whatever existing rom thread i have with updates/info (in this case UKB) just cuz its already a thread i have at the time
currently the plan is for Virus and myself to work directly on viperDNA and hopefully get some dna themers involved as well, and potentially others who can help in various ways (beta testing, etc)

If you look at any of the existing viper rom threads (sensation, inc 4g, one xl, etc) you Lo get a good idea of what is typically included

Hey Nitsuj I think you and jbeitel should talk about potential viper DNA theming....jbeitel is a beast...also he is a good guy. Over the last year I have learned a lot from him.
