That's awesome! Maybe we can port some HTC apps to AOSP, like their camera
Good to know that they're removing their heads from their asses.
This is actually huge. The ability to pull from sense will open so many doors.
I can see a beautiful cyanasense coming and that really tickles my pickles
From what I read on the Engadget article about this, it sounds like it's geared towards app development to compliment/integrate with the Sense environment. The developers will get access to the APIs and whatnot, but I don't think they're open sourcing Sense as a whole, but I may have missed something in my skimming.
Edit: Yup, I was right. Here's the article if anybody wants more details. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/03/htc-announces-opensense-sdk-and-htcdev-offers-paradise-inside-i/

I saw this yesterday and was really excited, then I realized the same thing that you do. Either way its still good that theyre opening it to the community.
That's a bummer
It seems like they just want developers making apps that tie exclusively into the Sense environment. Not a great idea in my opinion. If only Sense didn't drag the phone to a crawl, I'd like it a lot more!
Why on earth would a developer want to limit their creations to those on sense based phones?
Am I missing something here?

I think it's to integrate apps directly into the Sense environment. For people who like Sense a lot (3.0 is real awesome, just saying), its a good move.

And there's most definitely going to be new apis for enhancing/optimizing apps for senseui.
Bummer. I should have known when they said SDK it was only for app development.
It stinks they're keeping Sense locked down, but I still think this is cool. If the corresponding just onto e bandwagon they could just have it somehow check for Sense, and if so adjust itself to enable extra functionality. Sounds cool to me... might even pull me back towards sense.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.

I like the sense UI for some reason, just wondering if theres anything new about it coming out soon. Or is it dead now?
Any sense rom will be the same except for maybe a theme being incorporated and apps being added or removed. The froyo sense rom has a couple of extra not found in 2.1, but IMHO cm6 runs much better than sense. I use to love sense roms but for the last 6 months have been on cm6. I do like the HTC keyboard and some other things, but my performance now is a lot better without sense.

Probably not. The developers feel that sense slows down the performance of the device, which it does. So mostly all devs avoid sense at all. Though there are roms with partial sense, like menus, but no there isn't a full blown sense rom. Sorry.

these phones both share a qHD resolution, and i'm a fan of the HTC Keyboard.
simply placing in /system/app with proper permissions won't work.
here is the deodexed apk http://www.multiupload.com/4T62KZI77A

*thanks ekerbuddyeker!*
i'm hoping someone familiar with porting can get this to work on the atrix!
Guys now that we have an unlocked bootloader and kernel access what can we do? i'd love to resurrect this!
Currently working with the Sensation ROM DUMP and trying some things to get it working on the Atrix. Will post an update in a bit
You'll need the keyboard's library, too.

Yeah. Perhaps I'll try to extract it. Don't have a ton of time. But, if I can get around to it, I'm sure it could be done.
Edit: Tried and failed with library and APK.
I sincearly hate HTC's keyboard, and hate motorola's even more so I am not really interested in this project however I was going to say that some people might also be interested in the new keyboard off the droid x 2. That is also the same res.

Let's not hijack with HTC SENSE discussion. Start a new poll in General. I'd rather see devs devote their time to other projects that increase performance of the phone rather than a different "theme" persay. Besides if you want sense..you can get launchers to imitate...and icons galore. In the end that's all it is. So let's not hijack lol

agreed. so is anyone familiar with how the HTC_IME from previous phones was ported?
Wow, the atrix will be better with htc keyboard and sense's dialer (no need the whole sense). This is of course IMO anyway great direction devs

Dude sense is by far the most stable and practical OS.

1) Sense is a GUI overlay to ANDROID OS.
2) It is generally considered the best 'skin' but it is not the end all be all best. It is quite resource intensive, some do not like the look, and it is not as social orientated as other skins.
3) It is not always stable and some other more minor skins are much more stables (ones that mess with framework much less then HTC Sense does)
Now to the real question in the post.
I would like to see it if for no other reason then it is another option. I can not say I liked the HTC Desire keyboard better then the stock Android 2.3 Keyboard. I do not know what HTC changed in the sensation keyboard so I can not comment to that one directly.
Sure man, every improvement is valid
Anyone get anywhere with porting the keyboard?

Sense is proprietary so the chances of seeing it ported to the Thrill are slim-to-none. If its the Sense look you're after thats actually very easy to obtain.
What..? Nobody with sense wants our stock launcher? Ha ha... I hate sense so much. Ever since its early incarnation in windows mobile... But I know so many ppl love it...
But aria is right... If you just want the look .. They have a bunch of launchers that emulate sense... There is also a lockscreen app called agile lock that looks like the sense one...

I have attempted the Agile Lock thing and it's a slight bit glitchy still just an FYI.

Ill second that. A LOT of people like sense. I personally cant stand its implementation. What i do like about it though is the theme. Its gorgeous imo. And ive actually themed my phone after the sense look.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
ROM: Stock MDL Deodexed Rooted
Kernel: KT SGS4 Kernel (6/10/13 build so Dual Shot still works)
Mods: CrossBreeder, Xposed with Nottach Settings, 1X/3G Mod, CRT-Off Animation, Hotspot Mod, Reboot Mod, N7 Animation Port and Android 4.3 Camera **All credit goes to the creators of those mods!**
Theme: Stock, sometimes I'll switch to a lightly themed AOSP look
Goodies: Google Now on and fully functioning and all Samsung features on (Air Gesture, Air View, S-Voice and all of it's functionality, etc.)
Favorite Apps to enhance experience: Google Now, Tapatalk, Beautiful Widgets, Android Pro Widgets and Floating Notifications
My phone runs SO smooth. Zero lag what so ever and it's just such a smooth as silk UI and it just looks beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend the crossbreeder app because I definitely notice a difference I can guarantee you that. My favorite ROM by far has been the stock ROM, I legit haven't even tried another ROM yet because I love the stock one so much and with all those mods it's like I'm running my own custom ROM, I do however plan on trying the Google Edition S4 ROM sooner or later though. If you like smoothness, some [email protected]$$ mods and just the "cool factor" look I would recommend trying out some of those mods as I've linked all of them. With all of this, according to GSam Battery Monitor I still average about 1 1/2 days of battery life with an average screen on time of about 4 hrs!
Feel free to post your setup and what you're running and why you run it!
No one else wants to share?! Got this idea from the Verizon general section and it seemed like a cool concept. Guess not

You're right man, that's basic! Idk maybe it's just me but I LOVE widgets and I love to utilize's Android's full customization potential. I love how I don't even have to go on the Twitter app to check Twitter, or even go to Google Now to check it. Widgets are amazing but a lot of people think they kill battery, I highly disagree though!

I use widgets. I just don't like to do any theming because it's too time-consuming and I can never find anything I'm satisfied with. My current setup is pretty firmly established at this point, although I do change roms all the time and my wallpaper is constantly changing too.

As a long time lover of Aosp (since froyo on my old cappy) I really miss it, the problem is I've fallen in love with sense 5. That's all I really care about in sense roms though. So I was wandering if it's possible to port the sense launcher to a gpe rom. Is it possible?
Sent from my HTC One
i think that would require loads of work but im not 100 % on that
Yeah its probably possible with tons of work, but I doubt anyone would take a lot of interest in porting it since honestly it's nothing special of a launcher and it's rather stale in features. Anyways, why do you want the sense 5 launcher over something like nova launcher or action launcher pro?

I guess that's understandable. I settled for Feely though since it's amazingly designed and I can customize it by websites I want easily. Still waiting for new widgets from them though.
