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.
Has anyone ported over the HTC Thunderbolt widgets or at least the clocks? idk if anyone has seen them but they are pretty kick a$$...I know there is beautiful widgets, etc. but I think these have a clean, classy, slick look. Just curious, I have searched and didnt find anything.

if you look in my sense theme thread i have a lot of the clock apks as flashable zips
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=994561
when i revisit the theme ill add some more of them as well
also lp sense ui in the regular android app/game section imitates sense widgets about as good as can be done
Thanks, those are nice...Im running the community rom and just want some eye candy, I get bored fast. I just dl them and will try them out later...good work!
Just to let you know, the Sense Widgets on the Thunderbolt is tied to the Sense framework, so unless the rom is ported, you can't get the Widgets seperately

What would be sick is the notification panel. when pulled down, the top shows the most recently used apps. If I knew more on how to port/develop, I would do it, but I digress...

that is actually a feature that is so unpopular on sense roms that its either 1) stripped out of the roms 2) replaced with power controls
Right on. But I'm sure there are some people that would like it. I imagine it's a waste considering the native android multitasking management....plus, it's probably Huuuuuugggeee memory hog

yeah im sure some people would like it..but not worth the effort prolly imo given that its redundant with holding down the home key showing latest used apps
Exactly. Along with the long press of the home button, is there or had there been any way to get the most recently used 8 apps as opposed to the last 6? This had probably already been addressed our isn't a point of concern, so I apologize for thee possible redundancy.

Clutch from the market is a good way to be able to recall recently used aps and it makes a nice transparent widget on the home screen.
Can you do it?
Folks over at sgs2 have been trying to port it over for quite sometime now. I doubt you will see it anytime soon. Besides do you really want sense?

Yes, I want Sence I've had so many HTC with Sense and like it especially 3.5.

Do i want sense? Yes, Its great! Touchwiz is not as refined.
Sense features i miss
The great Audio player, Better than power amp (In my opinion)
Fantastic lockscreen (customizable)
Great People, weather and calendar widgets
Perfect Dialpad
Well designed SMS and email client
And all the other sense themed widgets.
I know i lot of these features can be added with apps from the market, But none i have found so far have the Tidy uniform look of sense. Parts of touchwiz look like they have been made by a colour blind monkey! Also one of my biggest gripes with touchwiz is the lockscreen (poor animation, lack of customization and sometimes unresponsive) If i try to use a different lockscreen, NoLED stops working, which i like because the lack of a physical notification LED.
So far i have tried-
SPB shell 3D - expensive, and still needs some work for are device, but looks cool. More looks over substance
Launcher Pro - Its OK, just basic
Go laucher, Go Locker, Go Contacts - Good attempt, just not as refined and not optimized for the screen resolution of the note
The note, hardware wise, is the best Phone (yes it is a phone) I have owned. Personally i feel touchwiz needs some work.
Now others may love touhwiz, So i do not want this thread to turn into a fanboi thread of either way! This is just my opinion, its not intended to irritate anybody.
For one, i would love to see a sense rom for such great hardware!
Overall i like the note, and with any luck ICS will null my gripes.
Sorry to OP if i have hijacked this thread, Just sparked all my (common) sense thoughts off at once
Also best place for questions is the Q&A section.
Take it easy

For me TouchWiz and Sense is same ****. Go Launcher is normal. Holo is the best launcher I ever use. I hope samsung will not forget or ignore about this.
It was hard to get used to touchwiz after Htv Sense for first few days. I tried to find similar widgets to make it more look and function like htc sense. Then as more I get used to touchwiz the less I hated it. If I had a choice I would still prefer htc sense as already mentioned it is pretty well designed graphically and functionally out of the box. But I discover some touchwiz features missing in htc sense too. For instance uninstalling apps right from the app drawer is awesome just as practical as uninstalling on iphone. Samsung touchwiz seems to have it all as separate widgets and os wise but they are not as a whole package in terms of visual integrity and not as functional as sense considering each app separately. Some of features like remote tracking is not even in default rom unless you add them urself later which takes some research to even find out it's even possible. HTC sense serves it all as a whole package , even the navigating software you can purchase it right from the htc location widget and it is adapted to rest of widgets. Contact integration from different accounts like facebook, google, twitter etc is merged automatically on htc sense by choice which is missing on touchwiz. You have to add your htcsense user id and pass only once on Sense and it is recognized automatically on related apps like "htc likes" but on touchwiz you have to add your samsung account each time again and again for apps like "samsung apps" etc... Considering outstanding hardware features of Gnote I have no intension to go back to htc just for sense as none of their devices are even close to gnote recently but I would definitely like to see samsung engineers put more effort on improving touchwiz in terms of compatible graphic design, integrated all-in features , user friendly ui to make it more competitive against htc sense which seems to be only superiority of htc devices still left.

Not going to happen people. Have you EVER seen a non HTC device with Sense? Correct, and that won't change.
Moto Milestone had sense port

Im surprised it took 4 months for this kind of thread to pop up. I will never understand the ram hogging hype. It reminds me of iphone users bragging about a million apps so they can swipe the screen from left to right doing nothing.
But all in all we are using android which gives us plenty of options. If a clone of sense doesnt work. Theres always that option of making it yourself.
I swore launcher pro widgets were a exact replica of htc sense. Matched up with a theme and it was good to go. Plus that customizable widget app that did more things then htc lockscreen. But im guessing this isnt good enough.
Sense used to be great and now it's just too bloated
Thanks for the responses. I guess its each to here own. Now i have been assigned to this forum, i shall put this thread in its correct place.
Thread Moved To Q&A
sense just has the best dialer avaible. the touchwiz dialer just doesnt find if i search for "uiop" and there is clearly a "qwertz uiop" in the contacts. sense dialer finds that.
aldo the touchwiz keyboard is odd... long press makes caps lock chars... sense gives you signs like "+ -*& %". i solved that with swiftkey x... but for the dialer theres no replacement right now. ex dialer is the closest but it needs 10 seconds or more to load the call log. thats not acceptable.
i like that the phone features of a phone are excelent, not just satisfiyng.
Why are there two of the exact same thread..?
From the exact same person..
Sense is an abomination, why would you want to buy the fastest phone available just to bog it down with bloatware, reducing it to a level of performance of a 1GHz single-core? But, to each his own - sadly, no way to make a Sense rom for a non-HTC device, if only for legality reasons. Sense is, at least partly, proprietary code.
Sense is the best out of the box android UI. Period.
I've just recently got my Galaxy Note and I'll admit I do miss the sense from my HTC Desire HD. Personally, it seems more intuitive when it comes to shortcuts, integration and it is visually appealing. However, I know it slows down the phone as it did that to my HTC Desire HD, especially when I updated to the latest sense. It's very laggy and the amount of animations are completely unnecessary. I don't need an animation of the page swivelling onto the screen when unlocking the phone. I'll miss the ease of access to certain things, but I want to get use to touchwiz.
There is an option to get Sense 3.0 or 3.5
Hi All,
there is an easier way to get sense plus even more ....

LOL! You come to a Note forum to suggest an HD2? A phone that's so inferior it's not even funny?

Sometimes HD2 with sense onboard acts smoother than Note with TW.
So if you want Sense, HD2 is your perfect choice.
Its hardly possible to port Sense to Note or other non-HTC devices.

Hey guys and girls, i am new here but i wanted to post because i couldn't find anything on what direction i need to go in, here is what I want to do. I have a nexus 6 and I want the older moto X or moto E look, like the signal bars and the full icon setup wrapped in a rom based off older android or even kitkat but i want the original lockscreen I will post a picture of what I'm trying to do. Keep in mind i am new and have no clue where to start. I can dual boot my machine with Ubuntu or other flavor of linux if need be. Any information in the right direction would be great. Also just a heavy themed rom of lollipop would work but i hate aftermarket launchers.
To get this you will only be looking at theming. No drivers exist for this device that support the n6. Not impossible but would take a lot of development work that no-one would be willing to do.
After market launcher will be the only way to get that home screen

You're not really going to find a good tutorial on how to build legacy ROMs for a new device. Not to be funny, but the only asset that will help with this is a huge amount of android development experience to get a fully working legacy ROM. Probably more experience than most people at XDA have here. Its really a job for an expert.
This "theme" is all Google, nothing to do with Motorola. We have pure android and this is what it looks like. If you want to theme status bar icons, look into xposed modules. Surely some can do that for you.
