Sense on Vibrant? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Re post, I posted in the wrong section, sorry! Anyways, any way I can do this? I really like Sense
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

At the moment we cant really port any roms to the vibrant... We can theme it to look like sense, but not the whole shebang.. There is an evo bar and a sense settings morph in the theme section..

I am honestly just looking for a theme of sorts, point me to the easiest one( please no launcherpro or adw.launcher)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

Go to the themes section... In the sticky topics is the official metamorph thread.. The black bar mod and the settings morph are both there.. Do you know how to use metamorph? If not its not hard to do...

Nope I am fairly new, only thing I have done is one click root, one click lag fix, and Vibrant leaked FW

It's just extremely pretty, I love stock as well, but Sense is the best UI yet, Blur looks like a cluster of ugly and Touchwiz is just a little too "iPhone rip off"
I think I got it, I just rooted my device again and got metamorph so now I go to download one and I put it in my phone internal sd card and load? Seems simple enough.

Depends on the people. I wanted it back in the G1 days because it was something new and fresh, but after a couple of months, I used a different theme. Touchwiz is something new for me. It's similar to iOS, but not totally, and there is a reason which I'm sure everyone agree on why TouchWiz is like iOS.
Anyways, following the metamorph topic is the best way right now. You could also just learn on how theming works for android and do it yourself. There is a guide somewhere, I think it's in the G1 section, but don't quote me on that.

Cool so far I got one but it won't load it just stays on applying the res-framework thing...

Youre stock right? They should work... Just try to reapply I guess...

Can this rom be ported?

I have this on my incredible and its super fast. Feels very lite. It is a 2.2 aosp rom, so I'm thinking, easy on system resources. So I'm wondering if this could be useable on the eris. Would be nice.
Check it out...
Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M&feature=player_embedded
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk
Possible, but impractical. Since the incredible has an hdpi screen, and the eris has mdpi, every single graphic has to be manually resized. It's possible, but it would be a nightmare. Maybe someday an automated solution will be created. That would rock!
Not gonna lie, that UI looks pretty legit. I would defiantly flash if someone ported it.
Yeah, that's got a really nifty UI... I want.
I would love to have this ported too...At first they said it worked on Desire but I thought they meant the desire that resembles the eris. I am almost tempted to go with a desire just so i can root and try out that rom...lol.
I've been drooling over this rom the past couple days. I rooted my buddy's dinc and was checking out roms for him and saw this one. It would be SAWEEEEET!!
Not that I have any idea what I'm talking about when it comes to porting (like at all), but could something like this be of any help? -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785864
it could be ported alot easier if the res on the screens was the same as ours, if the made that for the legend we would get it but most likely it wont happen. :/

Go to the incredible forums or the nexus one forums its being distributed there. I didn't think it would be that difficult given that my favorite 2.2 eris rom cyanogen tazz was ported from a nexus one build.
I'm running this on my incredible now. Its marvelous. It works better than sense running live wallpapers. No lag at all. It should run exceptionally good in the eris. Some one start a donation drive for someone who can port it.

cyanogenTazz wasnt ported from the nexus one, it was from the hero or the g1 i dont excatly remember but not fromt he nexus one
Oh yea! My bad. Kaosfroyo I think was ported from n1
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk
I was just in the Legend forum and somebody has ported the HTC Wildfire's froyo with sense. It boots up but is not fully working yet. But it looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little brighter
Edit - Oops, I just realized this isn't where I wanted to post this lol, sorry!

So, is a port of this ROM going to remain a dream? lol I was just wondering if anyone was being ambitious.
Thanks.
Port it now please

Nope, KaosFroyo is definitely built from source by Kaos, specifically for eris. I think maybe v1 used code from the N1 dump, but there's really never been a functional eris rom ported from an HDPI device like you guys are asking for. People just don't do it.
I want it NOW!
Wow that UI is insane I want it. If anyone decides to port it or try ill add to donation

HTC Sense on Vibrant?

Is it possible?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No it is not.
There are a lot of things out that there that replicate what it does, but do officially port it over would pose some serious legal issues.
Also, why would you want sense? There is plenty out there that tops it.
And, for future reference, please search a topic before posting a question about it.

I'm looking for it too! I guess since it has to do with a lot of legal actions we wont find it on here but it would be nice to have the desire HD rom on the vibrant since we may not see that phone in the US unless we get the overseas version that doesn't even work with our 3g or hspa
What Legal Issues? I didn't know about that.
And What Are Other Thing's That Top HTC Sense? Because TW isn't one of them.

nothing comes close to the HTC Sense if your talking about launcher pro no its not all it does is change the icons and also there is someone working on it now from what Ive received a message from if you dont like the idea of it dont respond with smart comments stick with what you have.
There is nothing that tops HTC Sense right now name one? you cant at all! and nothing on the Vibrant tops what HTC has I like using my HD2 sometimes cause I cant stand the TW I love the HTC Sense and the new features the New desire hd has!!!!

lol, I wasn't making a "smart comment". I was stating that facts.
As of right now there is no sense for the Vibrant.
HTC sense is made for HTC phones, and it will take a while before a stable release if released, if ever.
Also, the code for sense is owned by HTC, so using it without there consent and porting it over to another phone is illegal, even though nobody cares too much.
And, LauncherPro is amazing. What exactly do you want from sense that you can't get on your Vibrant otherwise?
And, nice triple post.
HTC Sense is not gpl or apache licensed. It is intellectual property of HTC. Try to get a port going if you want but it won't fly here on XDA.

A lot of people with sense switch over to a 3rd party launcher.
There is just some fascination that people having with *HTC Sense*. Not that great of a interface imo.
Fyi, this is being worked on in the galaxy s forum.. Once its working on there we can try to get a port on our vibrants.

I agree this phone is really, really rough if you are on stock.
But after flashing the Bionix ROM, I feel as though my vibrant is smoother than almost any other phone out there..
Accept that sense probably isn't being ported to the Vibrant for a while, and settle the **** down.

I have a hd2 with froyo and chukky as a back up and there are some thing i do like about sense.

[Q] Should I Remake These Themes?

[Stardust, Wrinkled Paper, Little Big Planet, Ubuntu, Atlantis]
I have a few old themes that I made for the G1 way back when that I was thinking of recreating for the MT4G. My question is which, if any, would you guys like to see? I would be making it for the community and not for myself.
There are already plenty of good ones out that I've settled on so this would all be for you guys.
Check my Signature for links to the old G1 threads and have a look at them. Of course everything would be updated to fit 2.2 and 2.3 standards as well as higher resolution for everything.

If you do remake them, will they work on stock ROM or will it still need a home replacement?

These themes do not require a Home Replacement. They are themes you would have to be rooted to use and have to flash to apply.
I am working on making an LBP2 theme that will require an Home Replacement and will be put up in the market but anything I put up on XDA won't need it.

I always loved your themes on the g1, I actually still have one on it. I think you should make some for cm7 theme manager so that you can sell them on the market. Since cm7 is on many devices you would get a lot more downloads since the theme manager works on every phone cm7 does. A lot of the guys are making free themes and donate versions of the same theme. I am not saying I wouldn't appreciate having the more in depth themes you are capable of making, I just think there would be a much larger target audience if you hooked up some awesome cm7 themes.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I will look into it. I stopped modding my G1 a long time ago and have been out of the loop on slot of things. Having gotten a MT4G, I want to get back into theme making. I have some new ideas as well but I love remakes.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yes, I would love to use those on my MT4G

Evo 3d development sucks... yeah... right....

I was just thinking, after I browsed the forums.. of how pathetic some people have been..
"Oh the 3d sucks. The development sucks.... I'm going to get the SGS2 epic touch 4g..."
My cousin has it and honestly our dev section is way way better. Right now I'm using kushdeck's rom as a daily... they have a wip with no downloadable. I don't even know what works. Or how far they are...
This is the same as the skyrocket dev section.. but here its worse.
They are mostly stock with some themes... and the themes are just color changes...

Forgot to say thanks to all the great devs here have tried all of the roms... and I like the fact that I like a couple of them.

Yeah I agree. I use both the evo 3d and ep4g. I like the evo 3d dev section so much stuff to choose from. Every week I use a different rom changing themes throughout the week. My friends think my phone is the coolest compared to their iphones
The only thing i hate is there is so many sense rom.

Here's another problem. Complaints about Sense. If someone doesn't like Sense, why buy a phone that has it out of the box, and can't be removed without waiting for a developer to do it for you?
I'm a huge fan of Sense, and I look forward to getting 3.5, or 4.0, depending on what HTC brings to the table with the release of ICS.

I agree. If it was as easy to port Sense to a phone without it, then it is to get rid of it from a phone that already has it, there would be a lot of people using Sense on phones like the Galaxy series. It's amusing, really.

had a sgs2 for about 2 weeks... hated it. and from that experience i have decided i will never buy another samsung product again.
they will have an official ICS release from sammy in about 13 months. because that's how long it takes samsung to get off their ass with any kind of support. look at the epic and the gingerbread update. 6 months behind the evo 4G
HTC > samsung
I wouldn't mind a galaxy nexus. But I know I would get tired over it.. after a while. Then what will I flash? A gb colored ics?
With the evo 3d I can put sense on for a while..... but I'm keeping pics for a long time... live it
The sgs2s aren't bad but I hate that they made them 4.3 and kept the same resolution and aspect ratio... I hate how pixelated and how wide it looks. Do like the samoled especially the blacks. But its a hate love relationship because colors look good but they aren't correct. Compare the gray or stainless steel color the speed test app has on an sgs2 and the evo 3d... you'll see the colors, sharpness and aspect ratio..

[Q] Froyo/CM6?

Hello XDA!
I was curious if it's possible for there to be a 2.2 based build off of AOSP.
-I prefer the look and feel of froyo over gingerbread and ics (call me crazy)
-I have noticed another thread about donut but froyo is much more recent than 1.6
-This could be impossible
--I probably sound like a typical 15 year old
Any replies would be helpful!
Thankyou!

Since froyo was never on this phone that would probably be pretty difficult, you could always use a more recent cm7 build and find the theme called retrodroid it will make it look like 2.2

There are a handful of people that can probably do it in this forum.. just nobody will. Easiest thing would be to smali edit gb to have same look and menu layout. You would have to resize a bunch of stuff. You should try the online kitchen to make a theme then smali edit the files.

Ok Thankyou! That's the kind of answer I was looking for! Not that I know what smali is but hey, as long as I have google and Odin ill be fine!
I do believe Froyo doesnt support dual core processor phones, so it would be a feat if anyone was able to do it. I really honestly recommend just themeing it to look like Froyo over anything. The APIs for certain apps are also present in 2.3+ so I'd honestly say just to stick with that.
