I love my htc one but never been a fan of anything besides android vanilla. I want to start using a stable cm10.1 as soon as it is ready, but I would really love to keep the camera app. I know its been done before, I had a nexus one and the camera for the desire was successfully ported. Can this even work without sense?

The HTC Camera app not only depends on Sense Framework, but also the custom imaging processor that HTC has built for the One. They have NOT open sourced this driver and won't.
Also, the camera would probably stink pretty bad on AOSP

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

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
i use htc sensation and i was thinking of getting a sgs2 but i really love sense and i still love my phone.
i was wonderning if any of the sense as well as the os can be ported to sgs2
for example can htc sensation rom be used on sgs2 if yes then i would buy sgs2
the only reason i'm thinking of getting sgs2 is because of the screen Super amoled but my sensation has also very good screen and that is because of higher resoulation.
please reply back to me let me know if that can be done
Its not possible, sense cannot run on any Samsung phones only HTC. You also couldn't install a sensation ROM due to hardware differences

As far as I am aware, there really isn't a way to get actual "sense" on anything other than a stock based HTC ROM, as the sense features are not open sourced, and function through deep integration with the HTC ROM. So will you see sense on an SGS2 - almost absolutely not.
That being said, the "look" and behavior of sense can be pretty closely replicated through the use of 3rd party launchers, themes, and apps. Your best bet to doing this would probably be to look through dev forums on HTC phones which have a CM7 or other non-HTC based ROM running on them, as some members have probably already tried to do this and posted the apps/themes etc. they are using.
You haven't mentioned any specific features of sense that you would "need" to have, so I guess you would need to narrow those down and see if you could find a suitable 3rd party replacement....
They are working on this port on the international gs2.... maybe follow them

Hi,
I am soon getting EVO LTE and have a doubt. I read somewhere that sense camera is much better than the AOSP camera due to the fact that sense camera is tied to some proprietary firmware.
Is it true?

yes because aosp use different drivers and is more like generic stuff.
think of it like a video card running on windows drivers vs from nvidia or amd.
the camera driver on sense controls the built in hardware isp chip. i believe htc calls it ImageChip
you could find more info about it on this link
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/5
Ok. Read in full. That means that to fully utilise the camera hardware, it's better to be on sense based ROM like mean.
That was really quick help.
Thanks

For the time being sense is better, the aosp camera is coming along slowly. I think the cm10 devs were able to port most of the libs over. Image sense is a bit of a gimmick, the phone isn't taking those beautiful pictures, the chip is cleaning them up. The image sense chip basically denoises and adjusts overall color and what you get is the end result not the original picture.
Is it the quality that is different? I was literally about to post the exact same thread - I'm going on vacation next week and really want to take advantage of the camera, considering I'm using ParanoidAndroid right now. I may switch back to MeanRom in order to use the camera, though.
Good Thread!
I would stick to sense for the time being, it still has way more features the aosp camera

True, the Sense camera has more features but I've been using the 4.2 camera port on my EVO and its awesome. Deck even is starting to include it on his CM10 ROM as of 11/4 so need for extra flashing.
What do you think about the leaked screenshots of Sense 5?

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2013/01/the-design-of-the-htc-m7-has-finally-been-revealed/
I personally think the dialer for sure looks way better than in Sense 4. Hopefully this will be ported whenever some Roms come out! *wishfulthinking*
Looks like some of the keyboard themes I've already come across in the past year.
I have yet to see a stable sense 4.5 (ignoring the 3D), and you are already dreaming of sense 5? Gonna take a loong while. Also, there are literally thousands of keyboards out there, i am pretty sure you can find one like that if you would search

I actually like the new sense ui. Not really a big fan of sense anymore since I went with aosp jellybean ROM. From the leeked specs I'm practically drooling over the hardware specs and new sense now lol. Giving the variety of carrier options I hope to see it come to Verizon and switch over to that phone when it comes out.

Used to be a huge fan of Sense( loved the Sense keyboard predictions in my language), but since I tried JB 4.2.1 AOKP, the old boy sense doesn't make any sense anymore. Also I will not change my phone until the poor thing dies. I saw some pics with sense 5, nice, but as someone said, we may wait some time until is available for evo via XDA ofc, or maybe we won't have Sense5 at all.

In leaked screenshots it does look a bit nicer and more professional look rather than that childish iOS-ish look but for some reason i really don't like the Browser & Camera icon, the Text and Phone icons look good tough.
I like the new jellybean 4.2.1 . Im running dastins cm 10.1 stable as hell with all features working minus the occasional glitches in video camcorder.
Some lucky b has sense 5 already

Is it just me or does anyone one else actually prefer Sense over stock android? It seems to be more smooth and much faster to me.

I have 2 One's. Both were stock ATT. Now one is a Dev Edition with 4.3 Sense 5 (64GB model), and the other is now pure GPE (32 GB model). I can tell you this without hesitation, the GPE smokes the other for "smoothness" and accuracy, and the Dev edition battery is dead, while the GPE is still at 60% after one full day of playing side by side. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sense and BlinkFeed, but no, the GPE is the clear winner here.
I absolutely love HTC sense! Definitely sets the One apart compared to other Android offerings. I'm running stock AT&T (not rooted) and battery life is amazing!

I prefer Sense over Stock, I have used "stock" with my s2, nexus 4 and now nexus 7, but it gets kinda boring.
I'm a massive fan of 3 things:
1. Zoe
2. Blinkfeed
3. The ability to hide apps
I ran CyanogenMod and stock on my S3, S4, and even my One, and have never been happier with an OEM overlay than I am with Sense 5.0. Stoked about 5.5!
Custom sense?
The HTC One is my first android smartphone so I guess I just need clarification. Are there custom ROMs with Sense included?
That could be a dumb question...but only one way to find out.
I really enjoy Sense but I feel like my battery life is taking a hit from it.

Go to the HTC one forums, and flash one of those roms. I'm using insert coin and love it. I also have the moto x and I feel like sense provides more features while stock is just butter smooth. I was think of converting my one to the gpe but I think I'm just going to wait and see how the dev edition works out.
