Project Proposal fir the devs! - Nexus 5 General

I have a proposal that might get a good bit of hate but I want to see If any devs would work with me on it.
I want a port if HTC Sense 6 to the N5.
But can It even happen? I mean you see stock ported all the time but could you port something like sense?

That would be awesome

I was watching a review on the new HTC One, and Sense is beautiful. I would love this.

"stock" doesnt get ported to any nexus device, since they run "stock" default. to port sense to a nexus is extremely hard as it needs htc's framework, and if it does happen it would be partially if any bit at all. this will take lots of time and effort! and considering sense is not open source, you will not have any direct access to its code. anyways, considering that people are still trying to port the last version of sense, i wish you good luck.

I encourage all development but this might be quite difficult with closed sources and the framework. If XpLoDWilD can hack into the snap dragon processor and enable always listening from the low powered core then this is possible as well. I doubt devs of that caliber will focus on porting sense to a specific device non htc device though.

well, you need damn good smali and hex knowledge, as you need to modify the bootstrap in a special lib and add support for s800 ://
it is possible but hard to achieve (well, last word is maybe incorrect, im sorry for that )
Best regards,
OldDroid

I doubt that you will ever see it happen. Which is too bad because of all of the different overlays Sense is by far the best. Unfortunately HTC is not particularly forthcoming with the source code for, well....anything. Having come from the Amaze (Ruby) HTC proved to be very difficult to deal with.

this would be amazing.. loved sense 6 the second I saw it.. but it would be great even if I got a kind of launcher at least. Stock android is great too

Sense is closed source.
They are releasing blinkfeed in the playstore in the coming weeks/ months. You could easily download a sense like launcher and icons. I did play with the newest m8 at the ATT store and I can say I was very impressed. You could also make the clock widget in zooper, combine all that with blinkfeed and you have yourself an almost sense experience.

Go buy the "new" HTC One

Not that simple when you don't have a job

It's possible, but it would be extremely difficult and would require reverse engineering of the libs and some binaries, as well as likely needing a fully modified kernel and ramdisk. By the time it got fully stable, if it ever did, we would probably be at the release of sense 7.

Good job! I came here to link to that thread.
For anyone confused by the title, check out this post in the thread.

In my several years on XDA, I've seen a few attempts to port OEM skins (usually Sense and Touchwiz) to devices from other manufacturers. Of those attempts, exactly zero of them were successful. As much as I'd like to see this (and I would - Sense is actually pretty awesome), it's just not going to happen.

This is really cool, and I hope it ends up working. As of right now, it's only partially functional, which is about as far as most of these ports get.
Don't get me wrong - I'm pretty excited about the possibility of this. It's just that I've seen a lot of these before, and they always end up going dead after a promising start. Here's to hoping this one is different.

[Q] Sense UI 3.0 for N1 ?

is possible the porting of the Sense UI 3.0 on n1?
This ROM is amazing!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjCI9CFp6ew
The unloking method looks great
I'd imagine it would be easier to port over if the Desire ever got it but from recent news that's not gonna happen. Apparently our devices don't have the power to run it :/
it is possible, but i think nobody will ever port this.
The N1 became boring for devs since there are really cool new devices...
Sensation on T-Mobile should be everyone's next device anyway. It would really suck if they stuck aosp on it Like the g2. Either way its an amazing device

CM10 Development

I am thinking of selling my Velocity, not that I really want to love the thing, however the security restraints and general hard to develop nature of this device is turning me off HTC.
So get to the point you ask
Just putting it out there its not a request, demand by any means I just wanna know if there is anything CM10 in the pipe line due for release soon or is it to hard because of the bad HTC code and security.
I would like to keep the Velocity but there are easier devices out there.
Anything cm10 wise will be at tootz, which you know is on hold...don't think anyone here is really building from source...maybe in the future I may give it a try...but idk

I would like the help bud as I need to learn how to do this for myself I am already setting up a dedicated Ubuntu PC and get things happening

Sounds like a good idea...I've never attempted to build from source, but I have a guy in the infuse section that's gonna walk me through it, gonna get a new 1tb hard drive on Sunday...500gb for windows and 500gb for ubuntu-that should give me plenty of room for building from source as I hear it takes like 20gb just for one build...once I get started ill be happy to help you
What little knowledge I have is decompiling apks and doing minor edits to xml and smali files (for tweaks) unfortunately none of that knowledge does me any good here on the vivid as I can't seem to get apktool to work with the vivid :/
So hopefully sometime between mid week to the end of the week ill be ready to start helping...hopefully

Not a good idea man. HTC has gone too far with locking things down, but Samsung has started on that path. They locked down the Verizon GS3 (it's been cracked, but still) and people are having huge issues with flashing. Many of the dual core GS3's are losing their IMEI after flashing. The grass doesn't look much greener on the other side anymore.

I'm going to see how I like mine by Christmas time, in which I'm buying a Nexus if I don't like it by then. It's not just htc for me it's nexus or nothing from now on. We have a pretty common chipset, we should have a development forum filled with aosp and aokp roms but we don't? Why? Because security is off the chain. It's a taste of things to come honestly. By next year look for android phones to be completely locked down with almost no updates anymore. They are becoming the new feature phones.
But HTCs s thing is ridiculous. It's another hurdle that doesn't exist on every other manufacturer. My captivate was completely unlocked from the factory, rooting took 5 minutes and you kept your data.

We've got at least one phenomenal dev (Jmz) working on this phone, so I would expect to see CM at some point. The kernel was just released, and prior to that, there wasn't much that could be done other than the stock rom. Despite that, he gave us Sense 4+. I don't want to speak for him, and certainly voicing a request is the best way to show interest, but I'd say be patient.
All that said, I cannot wait for CM!

Partially I agree, but partially I don't. He said in the thread for his Sense 4+ ROM that he's currently working on another big app project and that he doesn't have the First as a priority. That's what I gathered at least, but I'm still thankful there's something out there and that he's put the time in

Just remember... GPe is NOT AOSP. It's still the same ol' Sense kernel... It just /looks/ like AOSP. And, additionally, we have a functioning GPe ROM port for our Sprint Ones floating around.
We also have a really stable CM 10.2 nightly which I'm using as my daily driver.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

NexSense ROM General Discussion

Since the DEV-ONLY thread was getting OT and Noob questions, I thought I'd make this thread to take all that away from that thread and leave the devs to their work. So ask anything here about it until Galaxyuser creates a ROM thread. I'll be happy to answer questions as well.
If you would like some instructions on how to flash this ROM with MultiROM, here is a video made by Gavin96 that will walk you through step by step on how to do so.

There's quite a bit of work they need to do. The main one is sound and mic I think. Since we can't make phone calls without it. Until thats fixed, it can't be a daily driver unless you never take calls. Other things like the camera and certain sensors and NFC need to be fixed but can go without if needed.

Ok but i have heard that it breaks few sensors of many users and testers
That's going to be one heck of an undertaking although one may be able to cheat the sensors by using our libs and renaming them to match htc's version. I don't know how this guys doing his porting though.

I never thought there was such a big sense following among nexus users. I prefer pure Android myself but I'm interested in seeing if they can actually make a decent port with everything working so I can give it a whirl. Hats off to the devs I'm sure its not going to be easy.

Well one of the best things that the Nexus 5 has is MultiROM. Thanks to that, I have both sense and stock on my device. Best of both worlds.
Thanks for you thread it's really helpful for me
I'm impressed with how far it has gone already. Sure, no audio, nfc, or sensors, but the fact the RIL and Wifi work is enough to at least play around with for more than a few minutes. It actually runs really well for having very few bug fixes.
