Sense 5.x port - G2 General

OK I know this is one of the most common request on nearly every device. I didn't understand it in the past because sense sucked. But they really made a difference with sense 5. It's one of my favorite android UI's. In the past people would just say its not worth porting or others would troll and say buy an HTC device. Well this isn't an iPhone. I'm not stuck with what I have. I own an android device and this is xda were developers make our dreams come true
Could someone tell me if anyone is working on a port for that ui or the launcher or keyboard or blinkfeed. If not, then could someone pass this on to a talented developer for consideration.
Please don't spam this post with your hatred of sense. If you don't like it or have no interest in it then please move along

In reality... Keep dreaming. Not trolling or flaming... Just not realistic. This is often requested and the only time it really came to fruition was on the nexus one.

vanilla Kitkat android is all this needs to be awesome.:good:

Yes but in the past people just had no interest for porting because sense sucked and was difficult to port. The difficult part is the same I'm sure but sense 5 is actually nice if you've used it.

The quality of sense between the versions when requested is debatable but irrelevant.
I will assume that you are a minority in wishing sense were available as I believe the majority wishes 4.4 were available.
If I understand correctly it would need to be reverse engineered as a majority of this is propietatry information which HTC doesn't share...
Don't mean to rain on your parade at all.

I would be incredibly surprised to see working ports. I have been aware of something booting but being very far from useable.

Hi. I dont post much and am new to the G2 on sprint. While I do agree there is a fat chance that sense will get ported I will say my gf has the htc one and the only part of that phone I truly wish could be ported to the G2 is the remote control app. It really is that damn good. Now if someone could make that happen Im sure there would be alot of buyers. Id be one.

Take your phone back and get an HTC One.

Well, Im hoping that wasnt directed at me cause it was uncalled for.... and I can and will call you out on it. Did it really serve a purpose to respond in that way?
Whats the harm to you in discussing an idea? Just cause someone admires a particular skin over an OS you are going to get all offended? You know if you dont have something nice to say then just dont say anything.
Not to mention the fact that I am right about the remote control app on the One. But God forbid I admire and might like to have access to onepiece of software... I should just ditch the G2... YEAH.

To port Sense elements you need to port the entire htc framework which cannot be done because of closed source. Amen

Besides sense 5 is not worth porting even if you could.... trust me I loved sense. .. till they ruined it.

Usually Samsung phones get it. The Sprint we has a full port, and I believe both notes have a few.

See I'm the opposite. Before sense 5 I would try really hard to avoid htc devices till I found out about being able to root and change it. Everything about it was terrible. Extremely slow and disgusting looking. I love sense 5 because its way more professional looking. Unlike ios7, Samsung devices, and now with lg. All the other UIs are so cartoony and seems designed with children and mothers in mind..

Like stated above, this has been done on a lot of Samsung devices and I've seen it floating around others also. I know its difficult so what about just the launcher? I can pull the keyboard and easily get it working but I know with the launcher it will take a little more tweaking. I've seen the launcher for previous sense versions ported to a lot of devices but has to be heavily tweaked to get to work. But its always done by someone.

Damn, some you guys be killing people when they ask simple questions. This is the thread for discussions people!! It's not like the person went into a ROM thread and asked: Does faux kernel work with this ROM? Even after the question has be answered a dozen times.

GIVE ME STRENGTH GOD! How many times do I have to SAY this. I WILL GET ROUND TO DOING IT PLEASE STOP MAKING THESE THREADS! 20th nov my LG G2 will arrive so just wait.

Why do people complain.

Hello I am here to, ask why people are complaining about cyanogenmod? They are working hard for us right now. This is brand new hardware and Slayher has 5 kids and a wife. There are more important things then a phone. This is more to support him then ask a question. We have plenty of great roms out and people need to chill. I'm all for being excited but don't bother them for it. Who wants a broken rom? And who wants to work on a phone instead of seeing there family.

Hahahha see i always enjoy humor on forums but when people get all high and mighty it ruins the point of having an open phone and a forum. It's to have fun and help others get to your level of fun. If the rom has pre alpha there's going to be problems and he has no reason to support that rom. He did us a favor. We got a small taste of it to hold us off but you get those greedy people wanting more.

Some people can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labour without telling them they need to pick their fruit faster. Sad but oh-so-true.
It's just what they do
Everyone needs to complain about something cause life sucks and everyone's misery must be spread to another. Misery loves company.

5 kids and a wife? Sounds like free labor to me, lol. I only have a wife and I haven't even had enough time to put a full theme together let alone a full Rom port.
Some people seem to think that they deserve something just because they are them, should just be happy they got what they got. I know I sure am after coming from a locked down droid 2 global with virtually no dev. support.
I hope Cyanogenmod And Slayher understand that there are only a few people who are being idiots about it

Android beats IOS in crash stats

Looks like there is a tie for the most stable Android release (for apps anyway), between 2.3.1 and 3.2.
Here's the link to the article.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomiogeron/2012/02/02/does-ios-crash-more-than-android-a-data-dive/
This is the most useless of all of the already useless "let's look for any way that Android beats iOS" type threads I've ever read...
You could look at it like that, and post something even more useless. Or you could look at it as a way to compare the stability of various Android releases.
Did you even read the article, or did you get so excited to insult someone, you didn't even bother with it?
Thanks for making XDA one the best forums in the world to get flamed. You really help the site with your input.
LOL, its true, people flame for the sake of flaming... I thought it was kind of interesting, as I honestly figured it would have been the other way around, since we have so many more OS's on android than IOS

Lol I didn't even read the article, just looked at the pie chart... I assumed this was just another persons way of saying the Android is better than iOS.
Sorry but I cant believe that. Motorola alone would probably outweigh all other Android manufacturers and all iPhones combined in crash count.
Cool story bro!

So in a world where companies and lay people alike are completely brainwashed into thinking iOS is the most amazing thing since sliced bread and NEVER has problems like crashing apps or any other problem for that matter, you don't consider this relevant?
If you were considering a tablet or smartphone OS and just wanted something stable without cheer-leading any particular company, you wouldn't consider this relevant information?
Why exactly are you here?
Good stuff, pretty cool to see actually.
(Besides all the flames going on in here already, btw its sometimes easier to not say anything and just avoid the flammers. Posting something saying he is posting useless information is the exact same thing, or no? The rules say to pm a mod for issues not go public with em just saying)

Shouldn't you be starting new threads with zero pertinent or relevant info somewhere, preferably not in this forum anymore?

Just lost another Dev

I just noticed that another dev has left over a bunch of bull. I don't understand this forum for this device. I have had this phone for just under a month and seems like devs drop it right and left. I may get dropped from this site for speaking my opinion, but I find this place gets more childish as time goes on. I think it is great we have moderation, but there's a point when it goes over board. I'm seeing more and more devs not even posting there work here. Shame a great site is going down so quikly.

Not sure of what happened exactly, but on any forum, the mods are the ones responsible for keeping everyone in check. With that being said, I think that we have too few mods here, because it looks like things got out of hand way before the mods closed the thread or really did anything.
More mods means that someone might have been able to calm everyone down, or at least punish the offending party satisfactorily. There should never be a thread closed for something as great as the Devs make here because of some jackoff who ruins it for everyone.
I know that the mods can't be everywhere all the time....but maybe a few more wouldn't hurt.
Just something to think about.
Edit: fee to few*

+1. I feel worse, because I was flashing stuff and I didn't get the updated PAC before it disappeared. I hope the next phone I get is something he'll be working on. Also blows because I was looking forward to the FirefoxOS that he had in the works.
I know he's not the only good dev, but he -was- a good one.
Listen he left to go dev for the note 2 which is the device he just picked up.
Everyone needs to stop with the drama.
By that I mean each dev is free to do as they please and go where they want. This garbage last night was just that and it will be dropped as of this post
Mazda's threads are set up correctly and credited correctly. He is GPL compliant and there are no issues
Jamie's comments last night...while having a little merit should have been dealt with in private and not brought into a public forum.
Unless you have the whole story between these two devs (which 99.999% of u do not) then I'd recommend minding ur business and not starting more issues or taking sides as its not ur place nor do u have any idea what your talking about.
Feel free to contact me via pm if u wish to ask me questions...if I don't answer then that means its none of ur business.

Funny mods

This is retarded. Who the **** cares really? Is Anyone getting paid for this? No. Is this some sort of patent lawsuit? No. Xda sucks because of sensitive twilight-emotional bull**** like this. It just seems like newts panties are in a bunch about the fact his Rom isn't the only one one the block anymore. This Rom has features yours doesn't, I prefer this build. Sorry. Drache, why are you on people's nutsack so hard? I do not get it. Take your lips off his scrotum, pull the pubes out of your teeth, and let the community grow for ****s sake. Every Rom is some level of a kang. And technically, HTC is mostly closed source so porting anything of theirs is the ultimate ****ing kang. So lets shut down every single HTC thread. Lets not forget every MIUI build as well. The only damn thing that's built from source up is CM and that's still a kang of AOSP, thankfully that's legally open.Yeah yeah go ahead and suspend me. I don't give a **** anymore. This **** is so goddamn retarded. When did everyone lose their balls and start crying over sunsets?! Mustafa, continue to build and link your own site somewhere. I'll be there. #****YouXDA

Generally someone takes a hint when a mod (especially a Senior Moderator) changes a post due to it's sheer idiocy - and yes, that was me that changed your post. Seeing as you CAN'T take a hint...

My new social networking (sort of) app

I created an app called Endless Conversations.
"Endless conversations is a new form of social networking that allows you to converse about anything you like with anyone in the world who has the app. Pick a category and start chatting and anyone can join in and post a response to the conversation. The conversation is endless so there is no limit on how much to write or what to talk about. You can also respond to one specific individual if you want to get deep in the response he/she posted. You can share photos within the post too."
If you want check it out here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appbuilder.u28941p548826
I'm just trying to see if my app will catch on as the next big thing. Doubt it but it wouldn't hurt to try. Did I tell you it's FREE!

Actually it sounds like a good idea. So just to make sure I understand u right, if I wanted to talk about my favorite sports team or even shower curtains I can start a topic of some sort or pose a question and whoever wants to respond to me can do so? It sounds somewhat familiar. I think the iPhone appstore had a similar app of some sort a while back but apple pulled it for some reason. I could be wrong on that but the premise does sound familiar. I'm gonna give it a shot. I'll post back my impressions if ur interested.

One thing I did notice is that it lacks a miscellaneous category if u want to discuss something that's sorta out of the ordinary or 'out there'. What if I wanna talk about wheat bread crust or maybe the chupacabra?? Just a suggestion. Maybe u can add a miscellaneous category in a future update
