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.

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.

This looks sick, "If Android looked like WP7"

http://gizmodo.com/5802658/if-android-looked-like-windows-phone-7
It would be really cool if someone got that launcher and ported it to Android. I'd love to use that.

Looks nice

There are a couple of custom roms that do make the Galaxy phone operate and look like WP7.......... don't know about other phones but the Vibrant has 3 out right now.

Yuck! Too busy

Looks like a fun and useful UI, I'd use it...assuming it doesn't have a big hit on battery life..

This is different, it's not just a launcher that looks EXACTLY like WP7, it has some elements of it's own and the ui looks altered a little. I think it's better than just the WP7 launcher.

[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.

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 ....
that is the only phone HTC HD2
you can get it cheap on ebay aution...

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.

iOs custom rom

Can someone recommend a good iOs styled rom? I've come across the Chinese one which was the best so far but the browser and music players are still missing, the lockscreen is pretty fake looking and there are some Chinese words here and there.

Thanks! Indeed it's pretty good but I need the camera. Plus, the battery life sucked the last time I used it. BTW, I thought it was ICS not iOs?

Oops i didnt see that one coming ..their name suggests that its a ios rom cause miui is closest to ios ..
Anyway why dont to use ESPIER LAUNCHER ..its an ios look alike lsuncher ..lots of features and pretty smooth too..i have used it personally ...give it a try

Thanks. I don't mind the Espier Launcher but I want the UI to be something like iOs, I kinda like it. Espier launcher only handles the launcher aspect, and MIUI port for galaxy ace has no camera working and the last time I flashed it the battery life sucked.

uhmm since the MIUI4 port is built upon Maclaw's CM9 port..
it has got no camera as of now..!
but the battery problem has been solved..maclaw's CM9 has a damn good battery life now!
It was a problem of CPU deep sleep..which he fixed it in beta4 and MIUI also has upgraded to maclaw's beta4 porting the MIUI look..closest to iOS..
So battery being solved, you just gota wait for the camera fix..which would be like mostly (minimum) in 2 more beta builds..
Wait or till then enjoy MIUI without camera and good battery as well!

K then thanks!

[Q] Touchwiz, what exactly does it do?

ok touchwiz something removed out of custom roms, but what exactly does it add, since I have only used a samsung rom I dont know which bits are touchwiz and which bits arent.

Touchwiz is basically the look of your phone ---
The status bar
The icons
The animations( okk they are stock android )
The menus ..settings ..anything and everything u see in a stock rom ( b4 u install anything ) is touchwiz
And custom roms like cm7 use different stuff
The status bar looks better
There are no crappy samsung apps ( though i like the keypad)
The whole ui is better
In short touchwiz sucks :thumbdown: anything thats not touchwiz rocks :thumbup:
P.S. its only my opinion ...and opinions are like a$$#oles --everyone has one
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

Ya I agree..touchwiz is awesome
Simple
comparatively more functional in few areas
can be modded easily..!!

One thing i dislike with the TW is....it does not offer any good function (who needs Samsung Apps anyway ) . HTC Sense is much awesome than TW with functions like FriendStream:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:....

Well as mentioned earlier.....
ROMS and a$$h0l3s.....
Each has their own and like his own.....
Now some Prefer Cyanogen(Dev guys)....
Some Touchwiz(who prefer stock)....
and Some MIUI(iPhone junkies).....
Cyanogen has it's own plus points(Love the gestures everywhere and speeed).....
Touchwiz has it's own(Nice simple UI and no nonsense Dialer and task manager)....
and I don't have used MIUI (but I like the apps and the efforts put behind it)......

@chrcol - It's basically Samsung's user-interface. Deciding the ways in which your fingers can interact with their phones. Although roms have their own independent preset functionality, Touchwiz is the software that defines how you interact with that, like all the long-presses, page-switching, down to things like creating multiple home pages etc.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...uchwiz-has-that-vanilla-android-does-not-have
One of the biggest debates about getting ICS onto 'lesser phones' is that of Samsung not being able to fit Touchwiz 4.0 in with ICS on even a device as good as the Galaxy S. But as other posters have made clear, Touchwiz is not the 'be all and end all', even if it is very good; most importantly it is unique to Samsung, and they won't be renting out other peoples systems. I still don't see the problem with tweaking our current Touchwiz 3 though...

Some features are good.
I flashed the official CM7 on my Ace. Most things are nice. What I miss about Touchwiz is the Dialer, and also the Contacts: Swipe right on a contact to make a call, swipe left to compose a message.
