Hey guys I really love the timer widget and I want to port it but don't know how is there a guide or instructions on how to port an app.t
... what timer widget? I only know of a Clock Widget... =/
Why not dl stopwatch app,? You want to port it over to hero or to cupcake from hero? Please more info!
Sorry not the widget just the timer app it self it has a very nice ui I want to take it from hero rom and put on ion rom
I wish people would stop asking these questions.
Here's the deal. HTC Hero and any other Android phone that's not HTC are different in SO many ways. The framework might be Android, but there are so many different changes to it that, by the time you port anything over, you have to have that HTC framework installed. It's needed for anything from HTC to work.
We got lucky with a couple apps because developers work hard, but the fact of the matter is, porting something from HTC onto Android is a LOT of work. I mean a lot. Saving myself from frustration, porting over a timer app from HTC is not worth it unless someone had a lot of spare time on their hands, you know? There are quite a few timers in the market and they all work better than the Hero timer and don't require precious developer hours.
They might both be fruit and round-shaped, but apples and oranges are very different things .

I've searched and googled and found that the animation on our flipclock has been disabled in an update. Surely one of the geniuses at this site can figure out how to reanimate it? I don't mind the lag on my homescreen, and I'd love to have a flip clock that actually, uh, flips!
Also, are there any widgets that act as a simple scrollable dock? Like a 1x4 transparent box that you can add shortcuts to and scroll through them, like BetterHome? I don't much care for BetterHome's lack of widgets, so I bounce back and forth between HTC Sense and PandaHome. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a ton.
i would love to c that
Trust me iv'e have a poll up on MoDaCo and even raised it in numerous posts on here, no one seems bothered about it. I'm confident someone here could get the animation working, but i don't think they want too :/
if you guys could be bothered to search you might have found one of the at least four threads about the flip clock animation. and i think the outcome is pretty clear: if you want flip clock go back to an old rom that still had it.
i don't think it is that easy to port apps (esp. those from htc, that are not part of the AOSP) to a newer rom version. i am sure if it was someone would have done it, as there were lots of requests for this.
and if it is that easy, why don't you do it yourself?

Thanks for pointing that out but alot of Devs on here have achieved a lot so we assumed it could be done.
When is someone going to port sense onto the droid? I just got my droid after a screw up where verizon sent me the eris, and i had to put up with it for 2 weeks. I love sense, but the hardware of the eris was terrible. HTC needs to step up there hardware. I tryed openhome with 2 different themes, one was good, but it forced closed sooooo much it i couldnt use it. I tryed aHome, same problem. Im not sure how safe rooting is, and i really dont want to mess up my phone. What is the best hero rom or theme for the droid? Has any one ported sense ui onto the droid? I mean, i know its possible. I would be willing to root my phone if there are any good roms/themes availible. Also, what are some good roots out there? Ive seen it on so many devices EXCEPT the droid! Im currently running GDE with the hero theme, and it works well, certainly the best ive used, but the only difference is the conversation widget, bar at the bottom, and 7 home screens. Still stuck with all the boring stock android widgets. I want to see sense run on a droid. I want it on MY droid. Thanks in advance.

.......what does this have to do with android themes?
I just thought this was the best place to put it. If it needs to be moved, move it. I didn't see any catagories that it fit in better, and it discusis themes.
I don't know maybe Android Development since you are looking at rooting and booting a new rom on your phone? Just a thought.
sense has been ported, check out the alldroid.org forums, but some vital things such as battery do not work (it must be plugged in)
this might have been fixed tho... idk check it out.
u might have to click on a dev's username in that forum, try eugene373.

it's not a theme. it's a complete rom. which is not a theme. which would mean it does not belong in the themes section. which this is.

Panda Home also has got got reviews on the Droid versus Open Home. I haven't looked into what would be needed to change to theme the Music and Power widgets for their themes yet, thats the only thing they dont import from the Open Home themes.
I thought with the horse power behind the Desire, and the N1 - that the flip clock animation would be allowed once again.. it is even on the HD2 if memory serves me correctly. Is it because Android has to handle multiple applications, and the clock would slow this all down? I'm honestly not educated in the subject, but I do enjoy my eye-candy.. it isn't a problem, really, I was just curious why HTC wouldn't add it to their higher-end Android phones also.
EDIT: Well this is meant for the Desire, not the stock N1. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
The flip clock widget is part of HTC's Sense UI, which the Nexus One doesn't have since it's more of a Google device than an HTC device (despite the two company's joint efforts in building it).

You know, I noticed that this question is irrelevant in ways. Since I'm really referring to the Desire..
I would love to see it also,but I think there has to be something missing in the build.Maybe taking a look to a HD2 build to see if there is something extra.
Some things are definitely missing in the leaked Desire ROM, like a full Flash player. I wouldn't be surprised if the flip clock animation will only be in the final version of the ROM, too.
Ok, I've looked all over the place and can't seem to find what I want so sorry i this is a double post.
I am looking for the HTC Sense live wallpaper. You know the one I mean, the HTC Desire Bubbly one. I have found a version on this thread but it doesn't work on the hero http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
Something to do with the resolution?
Anyway, is it possible to port this to the Hero?
Thanks
Dale
I really want this too but I believe it's only for HDPI devices and the Hero is probably too weak to run it.
I guess by the lack of comments this has either been done before or is not possible?
It's been done !

Thank You! It's a bit of a shame it's not compatible with 2.1 though since VR13, but if Froyo Sense ever works properly I'll be sure to try this.
Have you managed to get this to work on your Hero? I tried it on the RCMIX ROM and it didn't appear under live wallpapers. I flashed it with no errors, it just didn't appear after the reboot.
What Roms have you tried it with? Maybe I should try it with Cyanogen...
I dont think it ever will unless we magically aquire an Adreno GPU for our hero's as that wallpaper is dependant on the Adreno drivers..
EDIT:After looking i think we have Adreno 130gpu and legend has 200 gpu..The legend port would be easier as its same res...
Ive tried alot of different things and i can get it to show in the list but as soon as i preview i get a Fiorce close

The guy obviously didnt want a slow HTC model, and thats fair enough.. Should be possible to port the ui, it is, basicly just an overlay.. But some of the coding needs to be done.. But, i played a little with some of the launchers from the market, and there are some, quite close clones to the Sense UI - Adw Launcher has a Sense theme.. I also had Beautiful Widgets once, and there you can get the sense clock. If what u are in fact looking for is the facebook sync etc.. Then you are a little f.... because its only available for HTC Sense...

LauncherPro Plus.
there is a theme for adw launcher which allows you to have a sense ui lookalike allthough the thing was russian and when i popped into menu settings alot of russian jibberish appeared so i uninstalled mine again and just went with plain launcher pro but hey if ur russian is better than mine you can have a blast with it i guess

i did not want to wait any longer, my htc hd2 was dead, i neaded a phone right away, and dualcore,
thats wy i bougd the lg xd2.
i only wanted the htc sense baked in a rom, not using any launcer programs,
You mean you would rather waste a bunch of memory on Sense, which you can't have, instead of running a much lighter and IMHO much better launcher like LauncherPro or ADW? Much to learn you have, young padawan.
And the sense ui is hardcoded in to the kernel and other parts of the system, so it is not as easy as with some other launchers just to pull and use on other systems...
There was a try to make a sense rom for the galaxy s but it got scrapped in the end as it was a HTC rom they did try to mod for the Galaxy s and there was some overheating problems stuff that don't work etc etc...
So the best is to get something like launcher pro plus, use the custom dock background option and there sense look alike widgets and Beautiful Widgets with a sense look alike clock..
Saves ram and you don't risk breaking the hardware because it is a bad rom build.
aha

I created the think tank which led to that port.. I think its possible to port the Sense ROM to any phone that has enough juice to run it, and a good porting expert to port it.
I think when the G2X is released into the USA mainstream this dev section will explode with quality developers all eager to make there name, so im sure it will happen... It is quite simple to port, but making everything else work will be the hardest thing...
When i get my G2X sent from the USA i will start another think tank, we will get this beast on our snappy new phones
And as for the people that say "if you want sense, buy a HTC". well that goes against everything we try to do here at XDA.. Its all about choice and pushing the boundaries, and if the masses want a port, never try and dissuade them, encourage it, and help if you can.. You may not want it, but negativity is discouraged here.
I for one would love to see the new sensation ROM (Sense 3.0) ported to the 2x phones, and im 99.9 percent sure it will be attempted.

LP Sense UI (Launcher)
A mod to Launcher pro that gives your LG the sense look, with sense scrollable widgets
Working quite nicely on my LG
Add "Fancy Widget" from the market
Update: Seems it has now been removed from "Market" and download links from the lpsense site - apparently on request from Launcher pro devs.

Same boat as you right nw, got a dead hd2, need a phone now and am thinking about the LG Optimus 2x because I think it's pretty future proof. Wud go for a SGS2 or HTC Sensation, but I think they'll be far too expensive.

Its already been documented that the new snapdragon is gonna be not as fast as the Tegra2 so we will have Sense on the fastest phone around hopefully
