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.
some guys over at the hero section got live wallpapers to work on sense ui, and how downloadable rosie.apk's, i tried pushing one, and it doesnt work, can anyone port this to our phones?
Did you ask KiNg? Or should I?

i think it would only work on the hero device but the devs should def look at it
Once again, WHY. LWPs aren't even stable yet especially because of the 3D memory leaks. The builds are already anti-battery friendly and chances are you'll only be using the lwp for 5 minutes before turning it off from the unbearable lag emitting from your phone.
Any grumblings about an improved method with Froyo? I understand HTC has a solid one, anyway to transfer that or is it stuck in sense framework like the widgets?
Well to be honest its not impossible because i remember when someone got HTC music to work on the G1 and i think it was with the sense framework... Browser should be easer... i guess..
nope

LOL the browser would be next to impossible, good guess though.
That HTC Sense Live Wallpaper is amazing, any ports of it to Galaxy S? It won't run when I try.
Thanks!
I don't think there is. if I'm wrong someone should def hook it up with a link. lol
I know they are actively trying to port Sense (as in the whole thing) to the Captivate but have hit some roadblocks.
If it's just a live wallpaper.. maybe someone in the HTC forums will be kind enough to give you the .apk for it?
But... like everything Sense related it is probably not a standard application and completely proprietary.
Yeah, it needs the framework. But I tried porting that, still doesn't run. Somehow they managed to port it to the Nexus One CyanogenMod ROM, but that APK doesn't work for the Galaxy S.
is it possible to make a rom for the lg o2x like this?
htc desire sense ui baked in the rom for lg o2x.
please????
Nope,
Diffrent drivers diffrent chipset.
zo zo
zo dat is snel?
hahahha
thats fast .
thanks.
why dont you get a htc if you want sense, pyramid will probably be a great phone..

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
