Would it be possible? I'd love to have a completely working Blur.
I talked to some devs.. And its a ***** to port it over.. super embedded... hopefully that its summer someone will have the patience and time to get this over to our port

They got HTC Sense and Froyo working on the EVO. It was ported from some other devs work. I figured if they can port it to the EVO without source code, our awesome devs can port it as well. I request a port and am willing to donate to the dev who gets it working. I'm sure others would as well.

Don't send that person money and wait for them to get 2.2 working before worrying about sense on top of it.

To all:
I am very interested in getting balls deep into the development/"porting" of the Sense UI to CM6 or a vanilla 2.2 kernel for the Moto Droid. I realize that none of the Sense UI based official source is available at this time - but it will be. I am willing to invest time and money into this effort. I think it will be a great learning experience too. Please let me know if you're interested and what your current skillset is.
My android experience is limited to compiling kernels and medicore java development. I've been doing *nix development for ~5 years now and would like transition deeper into the android (low level) development world.
Thanks.
sounds great i am a huge fan of zusedroid and 2.2 i swich between the to all the time and seeing that someone is willing to work on it is great because i saw the zd team slowly fall apart or as it seems i think they just gave up on it or somthing or they all just got a droid x but great news i would be willing to healp but i dont know what i would have to offer o well i think u should port frome the droid incredible because it is gsm and not cdma like the diser or the nexusthiss one should be hard but easyer than what zd had to put wp with
id love to see this go into a full port. i've been using the zeusdroid for now, the drawbacks suck but i love the htc sense so i put up with the flaws.
helping financially is tough as i am a full time student, however i am upon my last year of electrical engineering, but no major programing or developing experience however if there's something i can tackle i'll be happy to try

It boots up fully to sense ui but it's not fully functional yet.
i would LOVE a completely working 2.2 sense rom for the droid. i think the droid incredible would definitely be the thing to work with to make it happen. I cant help do it, but i will definitely donate a ton AFTER a completely working rom is made, and i think a lot of other people would too.
maybe you could recruit someone from the original zeusdroid team.
please please make this work, that would be amazing. good luck, and donations would come, if its completed
Just a bit of random knowledge - CM is an EXCELLENT rom, as a project of its own. It is built from source and heavily modified. With great power, comes great responsibility. It can be further modified, but is in no way a good start point for porting a pre-built rom. I am speaking from experience in saying that it is a VERY customized build. You are FAR better starting with sense, and a stock rom to splice in. I made the mistake of thinking I could use a CM build as a start when porting sense to the mytouch. 3 Migraines later, I realized what the issue was, and while parts of CM could be ported to sense, sense was not being ported to CM.
Example - Take the stock 84B Boot image and slap it on any rom and you will see that all of them function except CM. The boot and system are built together, which is efficient when it is released as a complete package, but again, not good for using as a start to any hack and slash project.
That said, the best option is to get parts from Zeusdroid Alpha, parts from Milestone MotoSense, and have a chat with barak and eugene about how they ported the original Milestone firmware to Droid, and combine this knowledge
Is there any possible way to port that BlurHome.apk in the Droid X dump to the Motorola Droid, I couldn't find it in the forums.

There is a way by most likely porting the whole build over. But I'm waiting for the droid2 to come out which is supposed to have ninjablur running on froyo. It should be a very easy port since it's basically an upgraded droid from what I've heard.
Ok, great. thanks for the reply.

so, now that the droid 2 is out, r u working on a rom?
if I may interject, that may be hard due to the locked bootloader, but stranger things have happened, though I do wonder what you find desirable in blur. Not meant to be rude, it's just that launcher pro payed has awsome homescreen widgets for social networks, and to my knowlede one of the main reasons people root is to rid their phones of forced upon software like blur. Though if it's really uninvasive, I guess I could see how that could be usefull. (oh, btw hardware changes all the time, just because its the droid 2, don't automatically think its an easy port to throw onto the D1) Did you know the Htc Incredible was originally supposed to have 8 gigs of rom, and, I believe like 2 gigs of ram, too. Though you see how that played out, slap the droid label on anything and you can sell about half the actual device to people at the same price, but I digress. Basically, if you really, really want this ported, make some developer friends online, ask nicely on the forums, or, you know, become a rom chef.
If you guys follow dj-steve on twitter then you will know he got honeycomb to boot on the s7. Great news. But to get it stable we need too have the kernel ported too 2.6.36. And maybe have the touch driver modified if that wasn't addressed in 2.6.36.
If you guys can ask around and see if anyone is willing to help with this you will be that much closer to hc. His twitter is @DMonsterProd follow him. And if you have any further questions regarding what needs to be done ask him through twitter he will respond.
Lets get some honeycomb small little step holding us back atm. Thanks peoples

i have been trying hard myself , without trying to bugg dj-steve to much lol but its hard since he seems to be the only one willing
Reach out to your phone kernel devs its what I'm going to do. We need to start some kind of bounty to get some interest in porting the kernel.
sent from a tower
well we need to find whoever is basically working on hc ports already but we might need to send another device to someone in the xoom threads
I think pershoot is the man to ask since he is the kernel king in the game imo. The only problem is he can't do much without a device to try it on.

Booted the hc earlier and I must say its awesome. Lack of screen scrolling and such but it looks so good

Yep folks contact as many users as pos. Throw it out on twitter etc. remember we have a near unbrickable device here so reflashing after a failed kernel attempt is as simple as hitting reset and loading into fastboot. And as hellzya said above the most critical issue preventing me releasing a prealpha build is touch screen driver being a bodgejob and not working properly. So if anyones got c coding skills that could be a place to start. Remember im working on 3 tabs and the ni adam is the base for my hc port which works accross most tegra 2 devices it would appear so updates are coming thick and fast.
