Sense UI on Motorola Droid

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.

[Q] Could Sense UI be ported to the Captivate?

I have been thinking about getting the Captivate. I was just wondering if there was any way that Sense UI could ported to it? Just wondering. It is my favorite UI.

nnnot really
but you can check out my sense dock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752925
and the evo black bar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744524
with these two you can get the basic feel of senseui

I can send you a clock widget that looks like the Sense one. Called Fancy Widget. Used to be in the market.

Thanks!
I was just wondering haha. This will be my first android device and it will be the first device I have ever bought from my carrier. Having had my Touch HD which started out at TF3D and WinMo 6.1 and is now at HTC Sense and WinMo 6.5.5 and I have kinda hit the limit.
This is actually the first Samsung device I have ever found that I may like. I hope I will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed my HTC.
Was waiting for AT&T to pick up a High-end HTC Android device but it doesn't sound like it is gonna happen.
Thanks for the replies though!
I hope this device will have good support here to keep it updated

They have their baby, the iPhone. You know that is the reason they locked sideloading apps. They just don't want Android being better than the iPhone.... but they will learn soon enough.

[Q] Requests Rom Samsung Galaxy Note with HTC Sense 3.5

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

no wont be done

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,

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.

when I bought my SGS i9000 i didn't know much about android, now I now a little, I love my SGS but Samsung leaves that phone a little, if you want touchwiz you must install an .apk -.-' there won't be official ICS for that phone, and i'm a bit bored about SGS Ginger.... and I'd like test Sense, cuz I'm thinking buy a HTC phone

Looking in the development section might be a good place to start.........

If you're a bit bored of you launcher i'd get a custom launcher off the market like Go Launcher EX (free and offers pretty much everything), or Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher - which come in free and paid varieties and also offer the same thing.
Go launcher has some fantastic in built widgets, plus a whole host of useful features like a built in task killer, multiple docks, changeable icons loads of transition animations. All for free. Sense really has nothing on that and its more of a battery hog, plus it'd be a lot harder to use, what with sense being for HTCs and so there isnt much call on it for SGS

Okay well that's fair enough, good luck with finding a good sense ROM, i realy dont know of any to suggest,

I'm not sure if the SGS even has any Sense ROMs, but from what I understand, it's no easy task to port Sense onto a non-HTC device

Is there Sense rom for Optimus 2x ?

Optimus 2x is good phone but software is crap.... Is there something Sense rom for o2x ? I won't theme, i want sense ROM !

As I know, there isn`t any Sense rom, just a theme. Close to it is miui, which is available to o2x. Htc&Lg doesn`t share same hardware, so porting is not an option. And actually, latest v20q stock firmware is a very good one. And, of course, there is many other custom roms/kernel to give you a better felling of your device.

I hate LG stock rom, design is crap, ics design is very good but there is no h/w acceleration for ICS .... shame...

And here you are talking about design, nothing about under the hood...Want sense rom for what? Flash sense theme if you want that design.

This has been asked so many times that it gets people annoyed. What is your definition of "Sense ROM"? Sense is a custom theme by HTC consisting of modded framework, launcher, and widgets. There is no such thing as "Sense ROM" for non HTC device, never has there been any, never will.
Theming is the least you can do.

It could be ported but of course without full functionalities. Go buy a HTC phone . Trust me HTC One S is very tempting with sense 4

That's my point. Porting it would take too much effort, while at the same time there is no guarantee the result would be satisfying. I don't see why anyone would bother doing it.
If you want Sense, simply buy an HTC from the very beginning. Btw yes, the One S looks bloody nice
