|Idea| bring htc sense on SGS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I already heard so many time that the sense of HTC is the best Android interface, and it really does.
so... while Samsung released the source code of SGS2, please developers, can you bring the sense interface to SGS2 ? is it possible ?
not just the launcher, but whole the interface (with dialer, sms, e-mails, and etc.)
examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Moved to Q&A as a suggestion rather than development itself.

It will be nice to have the variety of another ROM on the SGSII but i can say for 110 percent that Sense will never be ported. This will be due to the high level of complexity getting samsung hardware to work within the sense rom. Even harder as Samsung doesn't release a full source code, it holds some things back like source for proprietary drivers...
Nexus S port = yes but not functional
samsung GS1 = yes but not functional
SGSII = No and will definitely never be functional.
TW4 is fantastic, im a big sense lover but i have now learned to let go of it and embrace TW.
The only thing we will get if anything is a special version of CM
And we didnt need screenshot examples, most of us know what sense is dude

I really like this idea. I know its hard but it works. If the milestone with it's locked bootloader can run sense 2.0 then SGSII definitely can. it just needs the right developers.

Sense UI Question

Hi All,
What exactly is sense ui. I liked the widgets that I had on my hero when it ran android 1.5. Applications like the dialer, the weather and the clocks. Is that part of Sense UI?
If that is part of sense ui, what would you say is the best rom to run if I want it back
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Yep yep, SenseUI is HTC's own skin on top of Android,...
If it looks like this....

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... with the curved dock at the bottom then it is a Sense ROM.
IMO the best Sense ROM by far is "Villain 12".
Thanks a lot for the reply, I will try Villain 12 right away
Thanks a million, I installed Villain 12 and its working exactly as I expected
I do however see that it does not report to be android 2.2, meaning I cannot get the latest gmail app for the market.
Any suggestions?

At moment there's no Sense 2.2 Rom for Hero.
I think we have to wait for the official 2.2 release for the HTC Legend, and then wait for a Hero cooked rom based on this.
Another interesting way to get Sense 2.2 Rom for hero is a cooked Rom based on the official ROM of this upcoming terminal:

In every way we have to wait...

Preview of ICS 4.0 & Sense 3.6

Seems like we won't be getting the full Sense 4.0 Experience. Which is to be dissapointed to those who run stock, however i see the community fixing this issue. Sucks how HTC decided not to introduce 4.0 Sense to the XE, LE, & the Rezound.

If the One S/V can run it, our Rezounds can run it easy... Stupid HTC..
Who cares? We have awesome devs working on getting sense 4 and they'll probably have it done months before we get official 3.6

Source article I think.
The beginning pretty much confirms we're not getting official Sense 4.
Go community go.
That is such bull**** about the ImageSense being the main reason they don't give us Sense 4.0.

They either got lazy to put 5% more work into incorporating Sense 4.0 without Imagesense or they need to make their newer phones look appealing. The community will work its magic as where HTC skipped on.
Well I for one love HTC devices, but really am about sick of Sense all together. To each his own I guess but just give me finalized ICS and I will be happy.

Official ICS, Where is People app,zero shutter lag camera, etc etc??????

Hi.. Just installed the update 4.1.A.0.562 on my Ray.. Officially, through update service..
Although all those exciting things are missing, like the People app, zero shutter lag in camera, and many other visual related stuff..
I mean, its all shown on the official page...
Anyways, I'm a rooter!! Any place where i can find these additions? Especially the People app..

I'm dying to get my hands on it..
Wonderful i too need to know! Hope someone replies soon!!!
Also no Nova Launcher....... (thats what its called on the Market..)
I guess all these are available on Android 4.0.4... I need the apks...
Camera...could that be dependable of the hardware also?
Other than that, SE has made quite a lots of modifications there, to keep their Timescape UI the most important one there.
Ok!! I got a Nexus ROM which has the required contacts.apk...
Now, i just need to know, how do i install it? Like, i know, its meant to be pushed.. but what are the other apps that need to be pushed along with it? ContactsProvider.apk or something?
Zero shater lag is hardware related . Not getting it with update
And u can't install people app
You should get an aosp or cm9 rom
DOes CM9 have the people app? Frankly, thats the only one i'm after...
camera? no problem..

[Request/Poll] KDE Plasma-Mobile ROM

With this thread, I like to give my (and maybe your) request and wish
for KDE plasma-mobile ROM, for our device!
I'm making this poll, to make visible if there's interest in this ROM. Means,
maybe find a willing dev to code it.
Note: This ROM is still new for phones, but KDE is in strong
development
About:
For those who tried Linux's desktop enviroment KDE,
they will probably know how awesome KDE is.
When I first read about it, I was truly fascinated (https://www.xda-developers.com/plasma-mobile-is-a-fully-open-source-smartphone-os-from-kde-e-v/)
You may check out their site, if you're curious: https://plasma-mobile.org/

- Would love to use it, KDE is awesome -
PS: I am no dev, and I know this will probably first be possible, when kernel sources are released next month.
Yes we need this rom
still need the official kernel from Xiaomi though

JOB!-Make a Lollipop ROM for Galaxy KZoom SM-C115.. I Will Pay You!

Hello,
I need 5.1 or higher to run in my Galaxy Kzoom (SM-C115) that is stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2 from lack of Samsung support. I also need to keep my Kzoom since in the 7 years since its release there is no other phone at any price that can take pictures as good as it does.
Unfortunate and lame (Come on manufacturers!)
I know that a Note Neo 3 has the same chipset: Exynos 5260 Hexa and can run higher versions so maybe porting one of those ROM's is the best approach.
Rooting has been worked out for Kzoom but no ROM 5.1 or higher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-galaxy-k-zoom-katkernel-3-4-104-005.2798321/
This person pulled off a slim KitKat ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...custom-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-k-zoom.3172166/
Let me know if anyone with MAD Skills can pull this off as its beyond my abilities and I am willing to pay for a stable Lollipop ROM.
Thanks

Challenge accepted. PM me!
Seems I am in the same situation as Freedomfliyer1 - loving my Galaxy K zoom for its camera and hating Samsung for neglecting its updates ;-)
Since Android 4.4.2 stupidly does not enable the implemented TLS1.2 by default, many apps stopped working. And now my beloved offline navigation went to Lollipop as minimum requirement.
Thus I would love to get hold of a custom ROM based on a more recent Android version for the SM-C115 - and would put some money in a crowdfunding hat for it, or contribute as a beta tester, or in some other way....
Let me know what's neeed to jon the bandwagon.
