[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.

Samsung music and video player

Not sure if these can be ported but here they are if anyone wants to give it a shot

Probably need touchwiz framework to get it going.... wouldn't be impossible, but most likely not simple either

added touchwiz framework
Not sure if that's whats needed to get codecs working on NS i really have no clue really but music play itself IMO is really good, much better than stock

So does this work?

Oh it is, I have an Epic and the music player on the Epic is killer, as good as an iPhone

no at the moment

Since it has only been one day, I am sure this will get ported. I also hope that Samsung Media Hub is ported over while waiting for Netflix!

At the very least it would be great to get the codecs. SGS plays everything under the sun.

Bumping this request because compared to my Galaxy S, the stock camera, music player, and video player on Gingerbread are pathetic. Anybody hear of anything on the Galaxy S apps working on the Nexus S? (seriously considering going back to my SGS)

Bump, all stock media players are just awful.

I'm looking into the same thing.. In addition to the Player I'd like to port the Clock apk and the dual-clock widget.
The SGS Clock apk is very handy with world clock/timer/stop watch in addition to the Alarm clock it self.
If anyone can do so?
Here I attach the apks

i also like the sgs calculator better. you could minimize the numbers and see your history of what you've calculated.

Its long been known that porting any of the stock Samsung apps is completely impossible without the entire TouchWiz framework. If you are desperate for these apps you should work on having a port of TouchWiz for the Nexus S however, and I hate to have to be frank like this, I wouldn't hold your breath. The general consensus seems to be that there aren't devs interested in porting TouchWiz.

MIUI Rom

Would you guys be interested in a MIUI rom?
I've been playing around with porting one. I'm a newb but, I want to see how many people are interested in a MIUI rom
It has crazy good UI, and a great theme engine. It's a little less feature rich compared to CM7, but it's got the looks

I would love the launcher part (not having a separate app draw. On a phone MIUI is my favourite - the Maddog's lates CM7 has such great tablet functionality - it would be great if they were combined!

MIUI-whites and a MIUI-flow on the Nook? I'd def. wanna check that out but only if it were tablet-friendly.

If it was tablet friendly, HELL YES.

i would use it for a while test it out if you need help with anything contact jamezelle he ports for thunderbolt fascinate and droid and he could probably give you some tips

yep
id love it

I am interested

i would be interested

So....... where's the download link already?!!!!!

[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

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

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.

[Q] S3 MOD/ADDON for Galaxy Note

Is there a mod or addon pack available for Galaxy Note CM 9 nightly builds which can give me a look n feel of Galaxy S3?
Thanks in advance..

I'm not really sure what you mean...
Add-on to CM9 builds...?
There are a lot of other ROMs, TouchWiz-based that have the new TouchWiz Nature Launcher and themes and mods to make them look like the S3...
You do have to also consider that the S3 is a bit more powerful and handles them faster than the Note does... Best thing to do really is to find a S3 somwhere in your area, maybe a showroom or something and play around with it.
All I'm gonna say is that if the Note 2's based on it, then there's a shiny future ahead for us

Nah..!! i don't want to install any other ROM. I'm happy with CM9 at the moment
I was going through different threads and came across many mods and themes to make S2 look like S3. So, i was just wondering of there are such theme packs or mods available for good'ol CM9..
