Is it possible?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No it is not.
There are a lot of things out that there that replicate what it does, but do officially port it over would pose some serious legal issues.
Also, why would you want sense? There is plenty out there that tops it.
And, for future reference, please search a topic before posting a question about it.

I'm looking for it too! I guess since it has to do with a lot of legal actions we wont find it on here but it would be nice to have the desire HD rom on the vibrant since we may not see that phone in the US unless we get the overseas version that doesn't even work with our 3g or hspa
What Legal Issues? I didn't know about that.
And What Are Other Thing's That Top HTC Sense? Because TW isn't one of them.

Ive heard it from some of the members I honestly don't think its true but they keep saying if they were to do it it would be considered as warez but they don't have to post a download they can post a link to where its at!!! I myself have wondered how to do it.

nothing comes close to the HTC Sense if your talking about launcher pro no its not all it does is change the icons and also there is someone working on it now from what Ive received a message from if you dont like the idea of it dont respond with smart comments stick with what you have.
There is nothing that tops HTC Sense right now name one? you cant at all! and nothing on the Vibrant tops what HTC has I like using my HD2 sometimes cause I cant stand the TW I love the HTC Sense and the new features the New desire hd has!!!!

lol, I wasn't making a "smart comment". I was stating that facts.
As of right now there is no sense for the Vibrant.
HTC sense is made for HTC phones, and it will take a while before a stable release if released, if ever.
Also, the code for sense is owned by HTC, so using it without there consent and porting it over to another phone is illegal, even though nobody cares too much.
And, LauncherPro is amazing. What exactly do you want from sense that you can't get on your Vibrant otherwise?
And, nice triple post.
HTC Sense is not gpl or apache licensed. It is intellectual property of HTC. Try to get a port going if you want but it won't fly here on XDA.

yeah, seriously.
A lot of people with sense switch over to a 3rd party launcher.
There is just some fascination that people having with *HTC Sense*. Not that great of a interface imo.
Fyi, this is being worked on in the galaxy s forum.. Once its working on there we can try to get a port on our vibrants.

I agree this phone is really, really rough if you are on stock.
But after flashing the Bionix ROM, I feel as though my vibrant is smoother than almost any other phone out there..
Accept that sense probably isn't being ported to the Vibrant for a while, and settle the **** down.

I like sense
I have a hd2 with froyo and chukky as a back up and there are some thing i do like about sense. But..... porting over would have too many conflicts and it would not run the same. be patient, the Vibrant is a good base phone there will be enough done in this forum to make the desire to have Sense not make any more sense

I thought that it would be a really good addition for TSM Parts. On my tablet so I can't really link any videos or demos. But its pretty neat and I've seen it on my friend's droid Eris, so why not on the fascinate?
I know nothing about the technical aspects of how to port something etc, but I thought I'd thought I'd throw this idea out there.
Sorry for the post in dev section. I know the devs don't really look in any other sections. So yeah.

Don't know how difficult something like that is to port, but the reason you've seen it on an Eris is because it's an HTC phone with Sense... I would imagine that's pretty easy to port over
I imagine it's buried deeply in Sense's framework so I think porting it would be difficult, if not impossible. It would be cool though. The more lockscreen choices the better.

I guess this means you have never READ THIS? On topic, it is only possible to mimic a sense lock with what is available within the touchwiz frameworks (nitsuj17 has proven that very well). But no, a sense lock can't be ported to our device with the use of tw frameworks.
good day.

As for the op s original question... is it impossible? I used to yes to a lot if these things in pre sbrissen days... but now ill just say its unlikely
Most sense related things are extremely hard or too difficult to get working because of how heavily they are tied to the htc frameworks and resources
At best it would be too work for someone to get it working... so I doubt anyone would really take a stab at it... but then again who knows

It's been attempted several times from the og Droid to the sgs phones... and its never been completely successful.... I don't think 3g has ever been usable and there is usual hideous lag

It's actually quite simple to get it ported and booting. It's just that NOTHING will work, and it'll be laggy. With a ton of time invested in it, it probably could be done, but it'd be extremely difficult.
Either way, what we have now is spectacular, just that it'd be pretty sick to see some sense integration. Especially that lockscreen. The launcher can be replaced, as well as icons and system menus etc. Not lockscreens. Thanks for all the answers people!

Ive seen it done on other android devices, So why not on a Atrix?
On which other devices did you saw the Sense?
The sense is a close code project of HTC, and can not realy be installed successfuly on non-HTC devices.
You can use themed launchers that has the looks and sometimes the widgets of the sense, as showed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053409&highlight=sense
but actually install Sense on devices that dont come with sense in the first place is not really possible (to be more accurate, it is even quite complicate to put sense on devices that do come with lower versions of sense or sensed android....).
wow, i searched "HTC sense" in this forum and the FIRST result (other than your topic) was:

Not to stick up for the OP but he is talking about actually potting sense to atrix. Your post above is about a mock sense using different launchers and themes

Here is a Sense rom for the Nexus One:

I have the official sense launcher, for dext, getting home ill try it on the atrix
The Sense framework is deeply embedded. I see that there may be a Nexus port but that's a developer phone with tons of active devs. We haven't even achieved an unlocked bootloader so Sense is as far out of reach as it comes.
If you're looking for Sense your best bet is to get an HTC device that supports it natively. rmk40 has a Sensation now and is super pumped to start developing for it. He always develops extremely clean, fast and highly optimized ROMS with relative tweak and minimal bloat. I'm positive that once the Sensation bootloader is unlocked he'll be pumping out the good stuff. I can't wait!

I know there are some tweaks and similar apps out there but it just doesn't compare. People ***** and moan about Sense being slow and bloated, but rmk40's ROMs are absolutely beautiful. Now that we have a lot more tweaks for our Atrix devices I'm still really pleased, but I still desire the HTC Sense experience again. I freeze lots of apps but things like the Social Dialer and other widgets are just too beautiful to pass up.

Is it possible to get sense on Optimus V?
well combine CM7, a sense style theme, LP Sense UI, Fancy Widgets with H7C skins... you can get something that is sense-ish
i doubt we'll ever see anything closer to sense on the Optimus V
Thats what i thought :/
well
I did do some looking on youtube and cam across this http://youtu.be/PzlBijNUbnc an I was amazed but I don't know how he got it like that.
I think it would be pretty much impossible for us or most other non htc based phones to ever see a sense based rom, I believe the major reason is because of legality issues with it. Don't quote me on that though. I'd love to see it happen, but it just wouldn't be worth it for any devs
someone ported it to the optimus p500 and has a thread on it. It's very much possible and would probably be a huge pita.
Yeah i could see some trouble with legality. I did see something over on android central, it was a fully themed HTC Espresso ROM which i think would be pretty cool to have. However, the link was to a google docs file share and the file was gone
but, by the time i can afford a Moto Triumph they're will probably be quite a few ROM's out. I know they've already rooted with Gingerbreak. savin up my money
Probably something I did awhile back. The legality isn't/hasn't ever been an issue. It's just getting everything to work right. I did a cm7 theme (it's on the market) it's missing some things and right now I been making my own roms so that the lockscreen can look like it should and a couple other things.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I don't know why I can't seem to find the answer.
A while ago, we had the Androidian theme, for those of us who aren't rooted. Since T-mobile's OTA update to 2.3.4, that theme no longer works. I don't like any of the launcher programs, and was wondering why no one else bothered to make themes tow ork with our phones. I don't want to root it just to flash a new ROM since there is no use to me. I do like the stock HTC Desire HD 'theme'.. I think most of you just call it Sense. Can someone tell me why it is that there are no themes for our phones? Is it hard to make it work with our version of the UI?
Thanks in advance.

To answer your last question. What isn't it giving you.
Running a custom rom let's you fully modify your rom, themes galore. Running cm7, you have a there chooser app that let's you switch theme out constantly. If you pick sense, there's so many variety to pick from. Having your phone stock is like owning Lincoln logs, you can only do so much. If your rooted, your playing with Lego's, there's no limit to what can happen.
Edit: if you have a question, go to the q&a section. some people get annoyed, if you post in the wrong area. Just a heads up.

That right there is more reason to root. When I was on stock I had numerous problems and numerous returns, oh and tmobiles solution to everything...a master reset. Since root I haven't had a single issue. Most of the devs roms are far more superior than the crap HTC ships on the phone or what tmobile thinks you should like. Good luck on stock themes because no one will but in the effort to theme it.

Why wouldnt u wanna root???? That crazy man.
Though I realize rooting isn't for everyone, I will make a short list of reasons to do so:
Speed, most of not all custom roms are faster than stock. That includes custom sense roms.
Battery life: underclocking and undervolting your phone can extend the battery life.
Tethering: most of us have issues paying twice for internet access. I already pay twenty bucks a month, why should I give you fifteen more to use the CAPPED internet I already pay for?!
Themeing: the options are near limitless. If you need proof, check the threads for home screens in the general Android themes section.
Removal of unwanted bloatware. Tmobile TV, games you don't want, etc.
Back up. nandroid backups are complete.
These are some of the reasons why I root. I am sure there are more!
