Sense instead of Touchwiz - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hi,
Im all new to that root and s-off stuff therefore my questions is maybe a bit nooblike.
Is it possible to flash a htc sense to the S3? And if it is, do i get all the necessary stuff here?
I have the chance to get german T-Mobile S3 for 250€.
Problem is that i dont like the whole Samsung stuff that much. But with the Sense UI it would be fine for me.
Thx

Why not just buy a Sense device?

Why do people keep asking this question. Right now, software aside, this is the best phone on the market.
The best Sense devices right now do not have removable batteries or expandable memory. So, obviously, this is a default and with 2GB of RAM, no matter if your preference is Sense or not, this phone doesn't give much room to argue against it.
But, you already know that.
To the OP, there are some guys who are working to bring Sense to this. They've got most of the bugs fixed on the Global version, but will soon start on the US version. Stay alert.

I can't help but think there would be a ton of copyright infringement by porting Sense. But i could be wrong.

I don't think so. Some dude once did a Sense-Rachel mix.

Hopefully they'll get it to us versions soon

Because it makes no sense to buy a non-Sense phone and hope/want Sense on it. Regardless of phone specs or whatever (One X is better in some areas btw), if you want the Sense experience then buy a Sense device.

And the sense device forums are full of people who ask how to get rid of sense.

[Bounty] MIUI port. Bring it!

I don't know....maybe I'm the only one missing my old device because it had MIUI (which makes almost any device awesome). I can only imagine how much I would enjoy some MIUI on the X2. I'm offering up a little bit of incentive and encouraging like-minded people to do the same.
I know Dragonkillerz is working on CM7, and that must come first. But then I would like for some smart person to run with it and bring MIUI to our phones.
$10 is in the pot from me.
Please also 'vote' for your commitment in the poll so we can track it better. Thanks.
definitely miss MIUI...in fact, i don't understand why even one OEM(lookin at you Motorola) isn't considering it to run on their phones on this side of the pacific...MUCH better than this custom skin garbage (especially once the bugs are ironed out and 4g functionality is added)...and with SO much customizability...
---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------
also, read that magiman7 from MIUI.us just started work on MIUI for the atrix...once thats done, hopefully the porting should be an easier process...

Creating Roms

I want to start creating Roms, because me, i freaking love flashing roms, and i mean, it would be cool making some of my owns, only problem, is i dont know how to even make a rom, -_____- lmao. If anyone would want to help me it'd be awesome. I've read up on it and it seems super confusing.
*Edit totally didnt mean to post this on rom devopment -_____-
sorry.
build off of a stock deodexed rom, or a simpler custom rom. and mess with custom coloring pngs and such inside the framwork-res.apk and the htcframework
that will get you the basic idea....
then you can move onto xml's and change text colors.

You can but I believe the framework that you have to upload to it has to be deodexed. Do we have a deodexed rom? If not I will make one with for you all later

YES FINALLY!!! The only reason I'm actually getting this phone is for the beats audio. I would prefer a 4.7" screen, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY want beats audio. My priorities in a phone nowadays are 1. Beats audio 2. A phone with the beats logo on it(It can't just have Beats audio, people have to know I have it on my phone) 3. It has a great selling point (etc. Beats audio)
I already have the phone preordered!!! Can't wait to experience Beats Audio!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111

Highway, I have a request that I'd like you to take up with the geeks (or monkeys, i dunno, really) who run this site.. Since I am such a self absorbed narcissist, I like to see what threads/posts I got thanked for. Now, there is a way to do it currently, but it is very inefficient. It orders the posts in the order of the date they were posted. Now, instead, if they were ordered on the dates they were thanked, with the post thanked the latest put on top, I would know who the hell is thanking my posts.. Currently I can't tell where I got my last 3-4 thanks from (and that is just the beginning...) Oh, well, I should just live with the fact that I got thanked so many times and let the reason slide...

[Q] What custom firmware exists for the Mega?

Hi folks,
According to the Cyanogenmod.org site, the Mega is not yet officially supported.
So I am curious, what custom firmware exists at this point for the Mega?
By firmware I do not mean a ROM in which someone has changed a few images, colors, or other styling, or added an app.
I mean something where the core software has been improved.
Thanks.

I am everywhere. I plan on having a Mega in a couple of weeks. ATT will not be able to turn me down. I will make them an offer they cant refuse. so I figure I will get to know the lay of the land. been freakishly boring over with the Note. im a little concerned.
trying to figure why XDA has not gotten an i527 dedicated forum going. I know it was requested shortly after release. I know its not rooted yet but it sure might eliminate any confusion as to firmware available. don't need bricks with i527 stamped on the side of it.
so just remember "vacuum cleaners suck" and "feelin 7-up makes your hands sticky"
