HTC ROM? HTC Sense? N1 already got it!

Does here any chance to get HTC ROM (Sensation/Desire S/Desire HD...) or just HTC Sense (2.1/3.0) port to our great P990?
just see a ported ROM for Nexus One, a little bit missing my old phone... /_\

I still have my Nexus One

mine was gone with the thief ><

Don't know if it's possible, they were able to port itbto the n1 because iy's very similar to the desire, i think.

I think actually its ported already. Sense 3.0 .... Look in the theme section for P990
Edit; just a theme but it looks good indeed

Also because there are alot of developers there compared to LGO2x

tbh mate, dont have any high hopes for this kind of port,
HTC phones tend to be very similar (nexus1 is basically a desire) so when a new version of sense comes along, its not that hard to port it to other devices.
Porting sense to a totally different device, from a different manufacturer, with different processor, just makes it too tricky. You'll notice that the Galaxy s, (which is way way more popular than our phone) doesnt have a sense port either (after just double checking this, turns out they do have one from the 2nd of june and its very buggy alot of things dont work)
So yh basically dont get your hopes up about a sense port, with devices you tend to get a modified version of your own manufactures rom, if your lucky a CM7 support, and possibly a miui rom. If the device is very popular then you might get the odd asop rom, but for example you wont get a port of the SE arc rom on our phones or anything like that.

Cam Driver, Sense and Cm7/9

If we ever get the Cam driver, will be able to make on a Cm7/9 Rom great pictures like on Sense Roms?

In theory, yes.

Don't we already have the old sense cam driver?
Anyways don't know but interested in this topic...

But the Cam on Cm7/9 Roms is buggy.
That isn't Sense i know, but when we had had the Cam driver for Sense, why we cant use it for Sense 3.6 or 4.0 Roms. It is always Sense, and if a Sense 3.5 Rom have a fully working cam with the Sense 3.0 Drivers (INCs haven't Sense 3.5 officially) ehy it dont work on Sense 3.6/4.
Someone can give me/us answers?

I think it's not because of the version of sense but because of ICS.
Some devs managed to have the camera working on some AOSP ROM but the kernel for sense ROM is different.

Yeah its due to different versions like GB and ICS. But my cm7 camera was always perfectly fine.

That's only because of the application. I don't thinks it's kernel related.

I see diferrences with the same app on Sense/CM7. There must be something.

Sense ROMs have always been better. The camera in CM7 was pretty bad, at least in my case. MIUI was only a little better.
Understandably, the cams on the ICS ROMs produced very grainy pics. Hope HTC release the camera drivers soon.
And I do not think this has got anything to do with the kernel, but please correct me if I am wrong

Thats it. But you Vanessa usw the Cam Apk from MIUI in Cm7 too. Not as good as Sense but Vetter than Stock. We really need them, maybe we have than better cams in other Roms too ..

Are we near the end?

Well, i just have a feeling that the total happy modding flashing days of the IncS is coming to an end
Every day i check these forums & the quantity of posts have diminished, not much development either.
i guess the last stop would be the ICS official release (if it happens) post which am certain there won't be any further updates for the IncS...
the shelf life of the phone seems just to be over a year...
all good things must come to an end
and that makes me quite unhappy

Well, if you saw the evo 3d had no action, and the ics leak brought it back to life
Hopefully that will happen to us, but it seems more and more people are selling and buying something else :/
Still, looking forward to a stable sense 4

Once ics is released things will pop back to life. No one wants to spend time on an old os. It's much much simpler to mod a official release than a ported one. All I want is a senseless version of the official with trebuchet and ill be happy.

I agreed with you about the senseless version. IMO, ICS default launcher is better than sense.
I hate the way they classify "denied-call" into "missed call". We got it, not missed it.

LOL so much hatred for sense
I like sense
I like the launcher, the nice animations and the features it adds
I honestly can't wait for a working sense 4 rom
Anyone with me, or am I on my own?

1000% here with you mate.
Don't mistake me, i really love sense...
I never have used a 'sense-less' rom except for IceCold...

I have tried cm7, miui, icecold sandwich
All of them weren't on my phone for more than a week
And thanks for being so with me on this, 1000% is a lot

Dude sense all the way... Or why would I spend the extra money buying HTC device instead of nexus s... Sense is beautiful!!

True, but I bought a HTC over a samsung initially because of not only sense, but the fact that it has more ram. 768mb is more than enough for ics

Whats the "Plus" in sense:
-The animations that you wont get in any other Android mobiles like Samsung, LG etc..
-Launcher looks
- Extras like Weather animations. (That made my friend who has a S2 jealous of me)
- HTC sense integration with internet.
- There are many other plus point in sense.
Minus: It makes the phone lag sometimes. But i never experienced the lag. I see my phone lagging only when i try to play a 720p movie and i try to skip some scenes it takes some time to load which didnt happen in Sense-Less ROM's.

Love sense too can't wait to get sense 4.0

Im actually flashing playground for the first time right now

I love Sense but after using ICS i just cant go back to Gingerbread. The Appdrawer and notifications are just so much better on ICS
And to the original topic, Miui no longer supports incredible S so in a way thats sign. But once official ICS comes out I have a feeling development will spring to life again.

playground and ice cold are the closest to it

find a fully working version of ICS for the IncS then we'll think about JellyBean.
ICS been out since last year, only until recently we've seen some better roms on xda, i'd give it till next yr for JellyBean if anyone is still developing for the IncS then.

This might make HTC release the source faster when they realize that they are updating to an old os

I think it's strange we dont have an official CM9 nightlies for our phone
there's loads of unpopular **** phones that have it ...

I'm guessing we're still struggling with hacking the proprietary camera and graphics drivers in our phone. The only 99% stable ICS roms i've found are the Sense 4.0 roms (and even those FC when trying to take pictures at max res). I much prefer AOSP, but it crashes too often when using graphics intensive applications.

Samsung galaxy tab 1 and 2 has official CM9 and both don't have ICS sources
the 7" tab1 is gingerbread oficially, but remarkably everything works in CM9
The 10.1 inch tab 2 (GT-P7100) is honeycomb and in CM9 the camera doesn't work
So your statement seems invalid ...

Am I the only one working on this, or does anyone want to join me on IRC? Dev help only, there won't be any test files or anything to flash, so there is no use saying "Yeah I'll come in!" if you just want a file to install, I need someone who can help with making the right edits to the init files, cause after 5 versions I can't get past the bootsplash.

guys,just to be patient, we all will get it.

Port of galaxy tab ROM?

Is this possible? Not stock based ROM with some themes and tweaks but a full out port of a tab2 7".

sure, if youre willing to work at it. but chances are it wont run perfectly. why would you want to downgrade your nexus 7 anyways?

Is there something about the Tab's version of Android that makes you want it over Google's? If it is something specific to the Tab from Samsung and not just an app the likelihood is it won't run right on the Nexus.

I had the chance to get a tab and I wanna see what the tab was like.

Might try a touchwiz rom, I think that the tabs are over rated.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Touchwiz rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038920&highlight=touchwiz

I know of the ROM with the launcher but it doesn't have all the features the tab has to offer. (Not trying to say the tab is better than the nexus because the nexus 7 is amazing)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Part of what makes the N7 so much better than the Tab is that it has much better hardware and specs. Running the Tab's version of Android on the N7 (assuming you could) wouldn't tell you much about the Tab in terms of performance. It would be a useless comparison in that regard.

The only thing I would want to see from the tab 2 7inch is the tab ui launcher from its ics Rom, I always see the other launcher from jb ported but never the one that has tab ui

I see threads like this in the forums of every device I've owned (and that's a few).
People want HTC sense on their Samsung's, Touchwiz on their HTC, or some other combination.
The only device I've ever seen it pulled off successfully was HTC sense on the nexus one and only because the HTC desire had identical internal hardware.
It's just way too much work as overlays like Sense, Touchwiz, and Motoblur are closed source. It's possible to reverse engineer them and get them working on different hardware but it's a huge amount of labour and the results would be poorly optimized and not very much fun to use if someone even did manage it.
Some people with tabs go to great effort to run pure Google on them and you have that out of the box so be grateful for what you have. The grass is always greener on the other side.
