Hey, I'm starting a think tank to see if we can get an HTC Sense port started for the Vibrant.
This would be very hard to do, considering the lack of drivers and such, but it might be possible.
considering how long it took and they still never could get it to work on the original droid....highly doubtful
I love it when people create think tanks but contribute nothing....it's just a hey, wouldn't it be cool if we do this? and belongs in General Chat
actually there was a succesful port to the droid but you are right there are multiple threads about sense and the chances of it happening are very slim. devs do what THEY want to do not what other people do.

thought it was still really really buggy?
yeah let's think tank about what an atrocity it would be to bring that abomination over...
G1 was probably the most developed phone... and there were about 100 threads shooting down Sense on the G1... it requires so much work... that its pretty pointless.. especially concidering a good amount of the widgets have been recreated... etc etc
What about it requires so much work? As a person with no programming experience what so ever, I have trouble understanding why what seems like mostly a different interface has so much trouble running on hardware that is clearly powerful enough to run it.
Just an honest question.

you need to port the entire senseui framework over, not just the widgets
For starters most of the phones that Sense has been ported to are HTC phones that come with out it, there are exceptions though, HTC, makes Sense so stands to reason it would be easier to port to an HTC phone, as the tools support them.
Second, unlike porting Opensource items and OS's to other phones, HTC Sense is proprietary and licensed only for HTC phones, so it is not a grey area of porting, it is just illegal to port it.
The Sense UI is more than just a "Home Replacement" like ADW , Launcher Pro and even TouchWiz, it really ties in a lot deeper with the OS.
good going to de-rail the noob...
i use launcher pro plus and a scene dock its not the same but close enough since lp pro widgets are close to sense widgets it works ok
Not to mention having to build a kernel that supports sense

sorry my english bad :S
i've been in the android scene for a while now, i've seen a lot of possible ports that are not even tried due to limitational hardware. This won't be an easy job, if it will ever be tried.
Although, i would really like to see it.

yes i realize this is not an easy task
I really want to see my O2X meego.
Is there any way to get it? (the one found on cyanogen, tmobile's I guess)
we could really use some epic themes having it..
not without some genius porting CM onto our device, no.
Far beyond me i'm afraid, and sadly it seems that the main guys who would be able to do this are simply not interested in this fantastic bit of kit.
Unless someone manages to create an AOSP kernel for the XL, which would allow someone to port CM, we're gonna be out of luck.
Anyone willing to port this ? or is it even possible? It's a crazy costumizable rom, with all the major players styles on board. Would be really cool if someone could do this, there;s a galaxy s3 version which is pretty much on par with the 4X HD, now obviously I'm not sure how well can this be porter with the hardware being totally different but still tho. Would be really cool to have.

Hey guys whatsup,
one question,
people are going hard with porting miui from chinese devices
but wouldnt it be easiest to just take
the rom framework from yuga, lay a honami cm/aospa base underneath
and make it stick?
im really excited about the progress
but isnt there a faster way?
cheers

As far as I know are people trying to port over MIUI from the Nexus 5, which is actually very similar to the Xperia Z1 in regard to the things that really matter, porting-wise. (think of things like the chipset, screen resolution, screen-size (not a whole lot but still))
Also bare in mind that it's harder to port closed-source ROMs like MIUI than you probably think. Another thing is that there aren't a whole lot of developers for the Xperia Z1.
I'm pretty sure somebody will eventually make it work though, if you feel like helping you can try to mess around with some files yourself. Remember that you can always flash a stock ROM again using flashtool, unless you manage to f*ck up the boot-loader, which is very hard to do by flashing ROMs, if not impossible.
