I'm 99.9% sure it can't be done. Even on other HTC models it's already very hard to port over, much less a different brand of phone.
hello Sir , so you can do it and send it to every one ?!

In the immortal words of dumd and dumber
" so your saying theres a chance"
what about just porting the touchwiz and the parts it needs at first then the rest of the os
I think due to the Galaxy S being an hdpi device it would be a near impossible job of porting it to our mdpi Hero. I think the nearest you'll get is a theme. I currently have a near complete framework port of all the images, scaled and re-9.png'd it looks cool but it's still not the ROM is it.
I wish I could do this for all Hero users too. I saw my coworker has bought a samsung galaxy. This device is really fantastic. Also its customized andriod system is very impressive. For instance the overview of desktops. Not like HTC, all desktops are reduced to a almost unreadable size but are aligned in one line. The menu font can be changed. The contact list looks more like iphone style. For me, the buttons in HTC sence look too bigger. This will also minus some points.
I bought my HTC hero last october. But the device has been slighly dropped to ground twice but looks optically very terrible now. And the microphone in headset does not work properly. Generally speaking the HTC qulity is not quite confident to me. Plus the attractive samsung software, I am now heavily considering to switch to samsung. (Smartphone is a great thing. I cannot help to wasting more money on it)

Well the themed framework should run on any 2.2 Froyo ROM. But to achieve the look you need to be able to change the Clock, Date, Notification text colour etc... like in CM6 or Fusion.

I tried this on top of a Sense ROM (Villain12) yesterday,.. this morning my alarm didn't sound, the jogball started going crazy, but there was nothing I could do to turn it off.
Maybe best to try on non-Sense/Vanilla ROM.

I have tried it and it does run, but there are some alignment and graphical issues. This would be due to the resolution it was meant for, Nexus and the like. This guy over here - http://forum.samdroid.net/f42/touchwiz3-launcher-spica-mdpi-screen-1615/ seems to have scaled a version down to fit mdpi devices. Not sure if it works but gonna give it a go. If so, the next cool thing would be to see if we can get some of the widgets to work with it.. ? :S

works fine on the fusion froyo rom, shame none of the samsung widgets are included.
apart from that, its perfect!
Sorry if i reposted the thread, but I've been looking around all day and im trying to find a ROM with 2.3 firmware, long battery life and something that looks really good. Any suggestions ?
CM7 is nice. Not sure about long battery life though.(wasn't good for me, but probably possible to make it better)
Bionix Next Gen, Trigger, and CM7 in no particular order. I have yet to find a 2.2.1 ROM I've been happy with.
Edit: If you want 2.3 it's definitely CM7.
i have a similar question but looking for the stock samsung skin with gingerbread, does this exist? this is for my blind dad that needs enormous text.
Yes ive tried CM7. It was alright but the battery life is horrible, and I wanna try something new

is this what you were looking for ? i flashed this and im currently running it, its pretty good i guess, but im still looking for 2.3 firmware
well cm7 is out but not stable tho. is there a particular reason for 2.3 ?
http://edtdev.com/forum/topic/122-r...orking-audio-routing-and-custom-kernel532011/
try this one. its from Team EDT.
very smooth, only thing lacking is GPS. if u can live without it, it would be the best choce for 2.3
I ordered a gtablet from woot and it should be here next week. In the mean time, I am trying to decide what ROM I should choose. I can't decide if I should use a Gingerbread ROM or a Honeycomb ROM. (Most likely I will use a Honeycomb ROM.)
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Alex

Try some and see. Here's my experience
Froyo Roms - never used them. Main claim to fame is support for HD video playback. Since display is no better than 720p, and storing huge HD material that only is marginally visually better than a good divx encode that takes 1/4 of the space isn't worth it for me, I passed on Froyo.
CM7 based gingerbread roms - lots of them. Will make the gTab the best big ass phone without a cell radio. I ran VeganTab Ginger Edition since getting my gTab a couple months ago. Right up until
[ROM][BL1.1][BL1.2] GtabComb beta 3.1 came out. Honeycomb goodnesss. Tablet actually feels like a tablet, not a big ass phone. I'm on this.
BE SURE you understand the whole "1.1" vs "1.2" bootloader issue before you flash any rom. Then decide what you want to try first. The flash away and play with stuff - maybe try a few different ones - and pick which one you want.
It's pretty easy to switch between them all.
Hmm... I'm gonna look into GtabComb. I'm look for the best overall Honeycomb ROM.
Woot still hasn't shipped out my tablet. I ordered it on 7/13/11. Also I was wondering, what ROM has the best camera support for Skype, ooVoo, etc?

Oh, camera is broken (to varying degrees) in all roms other than Froyo roms.
Its such a crappy camera I just think of it as "doesn't have a camera" anyway. If you want the camera to work, you're stuck with Froyo roms.
Oh really? Damn, it's that bad?

Yeah. It is. VGA. Like from the mid 2000s.
This thing is an interesting mish mash of quality and garbage. The parts you see (LCD, camera) are garbage. They saved about $15 on the build costs by cutting those corners. Winning!
i use tango for my video calls.
and it's definitely not the best, but it looks fine when I video chat with my wife on her iphone 4 when she's away or when I'm out of town.
so in all honesty, the camera function to be able to video chat with my wife is why I haven't jumped to the honeycomb roms yet...
I don't really mind no flash, I just want the camera to work.
Im back to Froyo after trying all of them including Gingerbread and Honeycomb simply because GB and HC degrade much faster than Froyo, and Froyo feels snappier and way more stable. Not to mention that HC is crippled in video acceleration amongst other things.
This is the Froyo version I'm currently using: Clemsin_Caulkinver5
IMO you should decide what you want to do with the tablet, and then see what ROMs fit your needs, and then pick one.
I like G-harmony Gingerbread. But as in an earlier post. Kind of keeps you as a big phone.
I have tried several ROM's after quickly switching from the stock ROM. I am on Gtabcomb 3.2 and love it. Battery live was an issue but I believe it was due the setting on my live wallpaper. Took it off the charger at 5:00 this morning and still at >75% battery.
I think that i'm gonna take a shot at gtabcomb, it sounds good. If not then i'll look into Vegan-Tab. My gtablet is coming in tomorrow, i'll keep y'all posted.
So gtab comb was a complete fail. I am running illuminate. I'm having issues watching Youtube videos. Videos do not load on the Youtube app.
man that sucks...in the same boat as you...was going to try the first one, but now I'm thinking of the illuminate...let me know how you like it.

I had illuminate for a day. It is nice but it has too many force closes, app compatability issues and youtube issues. It did run fast, but for now im gonna switch to gingerbread or froyo until Honeycomb becomes open source.

I was using Vegan Gingerbread for months, I'm using Honeycomb for 2 days and i have so many problems with freezing, camera not working, so much problem, going back to Gingerbread, and personally recommend that you flash with Gingerbread, you will love it.
You have to look at what you are using the tablet for. Watching videos youtube etc. Then stick with vegan-tab ginger edition . The 2.3 roms are more polished at this point , but honeycomb is quickly coming around. It is very easy to flash and try different roms.

That's all you like, Battery life? you don't mind that freezes, Camera not working, videos stop playing. Tab side bars not operating.
I am in the same boat as many of you. Went with GTabcomb and really worked well. I loved being able to take screenshots of apps I was writing about. Then, out of the blue, it would not recognize the internal SD card. So I think I need to head back to Vegan Ginger and wait until the HC roms become a little more stable.
Does the app
Tablified Market HD Lite
work on CM9
my friend is the founder and it works on
android 3.0 devices and
CM9
he wanted to see it it would work.
Personally, i don't know how to install CM9
which the cyanaboot stuff (aka i am lazy)
so if anyone of you guys could just test it, that would be more than wonderful
Seems to be running okay on CM9.
thank you very much
he will be really happy
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there anything in particular that he wants tested?
quoted from him
Mostly I just wanna see how it looks on that tablet. Anyway you can get me a screenshot? I had a feeling it would work though. Thanks!
Here you go. Only thing I'm noticing is the gray bar on the bottom of the screen. I'm sure he can fix that though.
thank you very much... i will message him
What he said
WHAT HE SAID
Hey thanks so much! This is really helpful. I am glad it's working properly. The grey bar actually had an ad on it and that is why its there. It looks like he's using an adblocker. This shouldn't be an issue in the full version though. If it's too intrusive then we might have to do something else. It looks fine on a 10" tablet though. It depends on demand.
I just tried it on my Galaxy Tab 7" running ICS and it works fine. The grey bar isn't intrusive. If you hide the categories (from the menu) then everything is spacious enough.
I didn't realize there was an ad there. It must have been showing while I wasn't looking. And I agree, it would definitely look nicer on a bigger screen, but that's what we get for buying 7 inch tablets!
Hey guys,
Just got the phone the other day.
Some guy got it as free upgrade on billpay with vodafone but decided to keep his current phone and sell this on so I got it for a great deal.
I unlocked it and changed network and everything is fine EXCEPT.
It's running really slowly for some things, especially dialer, contacts and messages.
It's on 4.1.2 by the way.
I tried resetting to factory, wiping caches, reinstalling update through Kies, resetting to factory, wiping caches again.
Nothing helps.
Seems like a lot of other folks are experiencing this crap since JB switchover from ICS.
Is there any fix for this apart from rooting and installing custom ROM?
Didn't think I'd have to go the the hassle of doing this with such an expensive phone. At times it feels like my old Vodafone 858 smart
Seriously, it can take 4-5 seconds to open contacts, dialer or messages.
Once you open them they open fast after that, until they are released from ram again.
If Samsung are aware of this and are planning an update I will hold out for that, but otherwise, root + modded ROM I reckon, as this feels like a budget phone, not an S3.
This is really crap as I was all excited to finally have a nice , quick , responsive smart phone after well over a year on my old 858 smart.
A little underwhelmed to say the least.
I tried all the fixes like animations to 0.5x and turning off location data etc.. but no difference.
The hardware seems to be fine as it got 15700 I think it was in An tu tu, and everything registered as it should. Seems like hopelessly unoptomised software to me.
Any tips, fixes or suggestions form anyone would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Mark.
All of us have to deal with this crap. Try using a not-Samsung dialer, messenger, etc.

Tried contacts+ and was still not as responsive as I would have hoped.
I actually like the samsung default functions if they worked faster.
Is there any rom that keeps the default look and functions but is a lot better optomised and has better memory management?
I might go that route if there was such a thing?
Don't want to use a rom that would loose functions the phone has, just something more streamlined and a lot quicker.
Don't know anything about roms so any suggestions would be welcomed.
Do you reckon this might actually be officially fixed in a future update? Is there enough people complaining about these issues to raise a flag with samsung?
Feared it was a faulty phone, but after reading lots of similar reports I am at least glad that it appears to be software not hardware.
Just pick any stock based ROM. My recommendation is in a PM, because I don't want to start a flame war.
I don't know about future updates, but I don't think that they give a damn about what the community thinks/wants. (the community asked for documentation of the processor and they gave us nothing aside from stuff they had to release cuz law)

Thanks but I like the look of the default one.
Just rooted and installed Wanam lite and it's definitely a lot snappier. Still the problem with the dialer, contacts and message app being dropped from memory after not being used for a while.
Is there a way to edit files to lock the dialer, contacts and message apps to memory permanently?
That would solve the problem.
Cheers,
Mark.

Keeping the contacts and dialer in memory is one of my favorite features of JKay's Mod. I'd highly recommend that you check it out and can't say enough good about the Deluxe settings application itself (paid app on the Play store) because it allows you to fully customize the stock look and feel to your liking.

I checked I installed GT-I9300_WanamLite.XXEMB5.V6.2.NO-WIPE .zip
I checked version number with *#1234# and it's 19300xxemb5 so I downloaded XXEMB5_JKay_Deluxe_Stock_v14_92_9.zip , is this correct?
EDIT:
Did the above steps and works fine. Installed the Deluxe settings too from google play.
Man the difference now is something else.
Thanks guys for all your help, phone is brilliant now.
Its a bit of work but ASOP is very nice as well, you should do a nadroid backup and have a quick look at CM10.1
Since the new mali drivers, its been very good and super fast on all screens.

Will keep this in mind in case I have any issues in the future, but for now it's running great.
After a day of using the Wanam lite rom I am happy enough but would like to see if I could get better performance.
Even with this Rom and the JK framework and settings app I still get the occasional bit of lag, especially when using the dialer, and contacts.
Even though with the whitelist checked in JK it seems that the dialer and contacts still get kicked out of ram after a while.
Am interested in finding the smoothest, fastest rom that has instant response with dialer and contacts and also has the latest features.
I don't want to loose any features the phone had by default either.
There are so many roms available and they all claim to be super smooth and fast, so it's hard to know which to use.
I don't want to spend a whole week installing rom after rom.
Would appreciate some feedback from you guys that have tried them all as to which is the smoothest, and is there any that has instant response with dialer and contacts. Hopefully a rom that performance doesn't degrade the longer the phone is running either.
Am I asking for too much or is there such a Rom?
Cheers,
Mark.
