Didnt the galaxy s get a working sense port?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
there was one, the radio didn't work tho, so no phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Yes it did. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
From a description in a you video it says phone work, just not the data so no 3g internet. Sms and call should work

Edit: here is the Rom thread, working phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044637
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Would it be possible to work from that?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] justlovejoy:
it will take a lot of cross checking but to get the same result with this is possible if one were to take a look into that rom and this one in whatever stage its in! I am sure of that cause it will be porting a port from a partial port and then working on it from there!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] beston94:
Is there any way i can help? I mean im not a developer or anything like that but im sure there is some thing usefull anyone could do...am i right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karan999:
HTC Sense SDK released !!!

Download Link -

click here

i beleive now we developers can work harder !!!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:
So HTC Sense, for android phones, is no longer a closed source??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lambstone:
Nope, I believe this is meant for devs to create apps FOR sense. Such as creating apps with UI similar to sense.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenia1234:
It doesn't help that much!! :)

We don't need SDK...we'd need a working kernel!!

Right now I'm struggling against an audio problem...I'd need a kernel developer to work with...I know that the phone is very close to boot up but it doesn't....I'd need some help...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tombias:
Strange project. In the Desire HD Android Revolution HD thread there is a script to remove sense from the system and in this thread is just the opisite. ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netchip:
I will help you :D

One thing: I cant test it

Also you have tried edting init.rc?

If you are struggling with audio - does that man you already got it to boot or do you see in logcat that audio is causing trouble?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenia1234:
Thanks for the help!! We could talk in private if you don't mind...you got PM... :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Shinydude100:
I don't have a gs2 just listening in because I like sense. This might be of use in porting it a bit better once its released.

Dear Devs,

The main thing I miss from my HTC Sensation is the Sense Camera app. It was amazing, especially the photo edit functionality.

I've read its near impossible to extract this component and port it from other forum threads.

Any insight into this?

Thanks!

(Btw, weather app on home screen was nice too with the animations)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Main thing i miss is the dialer and the overall well polished ui.., where is the best chance to trade my sgs2 for a sensation. Here or at the sensation forums?;p

Hi dude!

Thank you for the suggestion very much but could you explain me better what that

dev/htc-acoustic <insert good name>

stands for?? :)

should I compile a kernel with this change inside??

however I guess that once this bug is solved Sense will boot...

I'm saying that because of my experience...

If only somebody were willing to help me to compile a good kernel (it is the problem) :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Try4Ce:
i hope this can work out someday. Sense UI is still one of my absolute favorites.

Kenia lol you are a bad Dev! What happened with GalaxySense?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenia1234:
LoL... :) I know!! Got many troubles and I've been very very busy in this period... :)

I passed to SGS II so SGS's development is stopped...

Now I'm trying to port Sense to SGS II but no booting ROM yet unfortunately!! :)

However I can send my updated package and kernel to whoever is interested...just contact me through PM (Stop sending PM asking for updates please!!!)

Greets!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:
Updates on the audio bug?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karan999:
The Kernel scripts you need are possibly right there in the SDK.if the SDK wants you to create apps or make improvements in Sense, then i beleive all the info is rightly provided within the SDK.

Also, you need to side by side work with a kernel developer who could spot the right libs needed.

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Areg8_6:
is there any way to port sense weather with animation ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] punshkin:
No but you can try beautiful widgets, it's at least as awesome!

You can get it free on get jar gold but I suggest pay the dev for the awesome app
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Areg8_6:
thanx, i'm using beautiful widgets (disappointing thing is that they are not updating the animation stuff ) , sense weather animation is the best i think ))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theXeffect:
ill pay any one to get this rom to work!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DAXGr:
Guys are you recruiting any kernel devs?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] H-KaN:
I'm just wondering if it will be easier to port sense when they release an ICS Rom next year.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] more2come:
I guess we will see even better animated widgets with ICS. Will be good times :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] H-KaN:
So true :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ferozfero:
how do we get developers to notice this thread...NEXUS S the google developers phone doesnt have a sense port ..common thats sad...well developers im ready to donate and to beta test...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DAXGr:
Hey how about starting a bounty thread?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mljjlm:
Lol.. you're just ready to get an early build you can show off to the guys ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo.:
Good idea.If someone can do this that would be great ill chip 20$ for anyone who is willing to get this done

We've got awesome devs we just need to shed light on this issue
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Yanardag:
For a working sense 3.0 rom would i pay 10€.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:
20$ from me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sm0ken:
20€

Stable Sense would kick ass.

Although in my opinion a extra thread would be better for this purpose + keeping track of the total sum wouldn't hurt.

so far:

40$ + 30€
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo.:
Great. If you or someone can create a bounty thread,I'm happy to chip in some money
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DAXGr:
Created thread
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BillReed:
Where is it?

I'll chip in 10 bucks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] maxvanni:

this thread is not dead, there are devs like kenia1234, rafivitto working on the port !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Oweida:
Hi tids2k ,,

I've been waiting for such a reply ,,

I think the concern of people here is why there is no update in the first posts ?!

I have a strong faith in our devs here but I think it won't harm if you update the thread about the status of progress, Am I right ?!

Thanx again and sorry to add a new non-dev post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DAXGr:
@tids2k how can one join the project?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sm0ken:
@Neo

Because it was in dev section but should have been in general.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenia1234:
Guys there are serious problem in the development...

I'm the only one working in the project except for some people who sent me some PMs...

that's the problem...

the ROM isn't booting yet....I'd need someone even more experienced than me to help me out...

I'm here available to share what I've done till now...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BillReed:
How can we draw more attention from other devs?

I stand by what i said.. if a donation thread is to be started i'll chip in with 10 or 20 bucks.. adding to what other members have said we should have a total of:

40+30+20

$90
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo.:
I'm willing to chip in 20$ if someone is willing to make a bounty. We can get devs attention by opening a bounty in General section
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
as i said kenia1234 is still working on the project, rafyvitto will be helping you out soon on the project, for updates we dont have any other devs except kenia1234 who is trying to hard to get this working, pulser, designgears are not working on the project anymore.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo.:
I don't really want to do this here but, may be if someone can start a bountry thread or anything in general section or if you can call out devs in development section ( Just like most of the devs do in other mobile forums) may be we can get a bit of help.

I don't have problem paying a few bucks for everyone who have been working so hard for the port. I would really appreciate if someone can come up with bounty thread or something.!

Thanks for your response, I just hope we will see sense someday on our GS-2

Peace
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BillReed:
So.. whats missing?

A thread?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniel_costa_rj:
1º - We have to take attention of the DEVs who maked the project of Sense for Galaxy S.

2º - Talk with DEVs of SENSE devices.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BillReed:
The dev who made the port is already here.. But he's alone in this..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mightygoose:
I pledge $30 to anyone who gets sense 3/3.5 working on an SGSII, Touchwhiz is the reason i don't like Samsung phones. I've always preferred Sense ROMs.

I think this is a great project and i would love to contribute.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Right, so I'm guessing this is near dead, However what needs to be done still? I'm sure I could be of some use in some way:p Do we have a booting build yet? Anything?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo.:
Nope, the dev predicts that It's almost about to. But he needs some kernel devs.

If someone can make a bounty/help thread on 'General' section, hopefully we'll get the attention of few developers, even if not from SGS-II atleast from other HTC forums.

I really hope someone does this, I'm ready to chip in some amount for this project. I really hope someone can port this damn thing!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] punshkin:
i wonder if he has already contacted some Kernel Dev´s here?

There are many great Kernels and Dev´s for the SGS2

maybe someone coule help him
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,even if he did,I highly doubt they'd help.See,in Samsung devices' forums,Sense is thought of as absolute crap.People are very prejudiced against it.They don't care about the fact that GS2's hardware is more than enough to run Sense as fast as it can run anything.

People are just narrow minded.And it's a two way thing.Go ask for a rom with TouchWiz on an HTC device's forum and you'll see what I mean.

This is at least discouraging... :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] benlc:
Well, let's be honest, sense is pretty crappy. It was really awesome at the time of cupcake and donut because android was really really ugly and it had pretty cool features too, but now that pure Android is pretty much what everybody wants, it's much harder to "sell" for a rom developer. TW became pretty good, but it doesn't mean anyone would like to install on another bran device (well ok some people but not that much).

It's unfortunately just way too much work for too few people using it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,I can assure you that Sense 3 and 3.5 aren't crappy at all.It's not like we want to port the now ugly-outdated Sense 2/2.1 to the GS2. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nick281051:
I find anything past 3.0 to be ugly, even 3.0 stretches it. when touchwiz 4 came out it became my favorite manufacturer UI. Its one of the main reasons I got the s2 as a replacement to my inspire
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Enzopreme:
I have $100 for the first person/team to get Sense3.0 or better fully operational on the gs II by 1/21/2012!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,there's this thing called personal preference,right? ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pankov:
Guys,

the only real thing I miss from Sense is the Dialer. The one from Samsung or the native Android one are crap. The first requires too many clicks to call a person while the other is not smart at all (I'm talking about T9 like usage to search for contacts)

I had to use Dialer One and it has some nice features but lacks in others.

I simply can't believe why Google refuse to make a nice smart dialer
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quad2012:
Sense is cool but not that cool, in fact it is just a UI and I'll promise you'll get used to it, after some months its just another UI among many. As stated the pro devs like hacksung etc. aint interested at all, they wanna provide a clean super fast ROM not really eyecandy. If you really want sense just buy a used Desire HD or even a Sensation and if it starts boring you sell it again...

There are so many oportunities and ways to tweak the UI you dont really need sense to have a great looking SGS2 :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Yanardag:
+1 this is the only thing what samsung not copied from htc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniel_costa_rj:
Seriously,

HTC SENSE 3.0 have the best lockscreen ever, better than iPhone.

1º Have time to lock the screen - The GSII have just timout (what is a crappy)

2º Ring to unlock

3º Animated Wheater on the lockscreen

4º Music with album art at the lockscreen (without unlock)

and

5º Design, the simply style of Sense make the experience perfect.

Some times I use my HTC Desire to remember, how was nice the experience.

But the HTC devices is really heavy consider the GSII.

I'll give 50$ when I got a STABLE SENSE 2.1 + UNLOCK SENSE 3.0 (It is possible, many DEVs for Desire are doing rom with Sense 2.1 and unlock of SENSE 3.0, like LEEDROID).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] komsa:
for unlock sense 3.0 you could try "MagicLocker"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniel_costa_rj:
It is not the same thing, do not have the animated wheather and music widgt with art album.

Yeah, I want a beautiful Lock screen SENSE and this should work perfect, but in my GSII. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Did you even read my signature?I also have a Desire HD,I don't just think Sense is nice.I've been using it for about two years before I got the S2.Never got bored of it.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Your issue here is to find developers interested...

1. There are major legality issues with porting sense to it.

2. Many developers don't like sense, and would prefer it not to be available.

3. Too many winzip chefs around here, too few real developers with skills to do it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] snowblind2142:
Couldn't agree more pulser_g2 .

its a real shame, I actually really enjoy sense. I'm curious to see what HTC do with ICS..

Would really like to see this up and running :)

I'm just hooked on ICS at the moment, love everything about it.

I would just like to thank the developers for taking the time and effort in trying in the first place as no one else seemed to step up to the seemingly "impossible" task of porting it.

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah I considered doing this for about all of 1 second, then decided "nah, I don't want to ever see Sense on the SGS2". So that put an end to that :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
I hope and wish you change your mind :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MemoryController:
tids2k hey thanks for your efforts, it certainly wont hurt to see Sense :) so if you want i can test for you and have C/C++ coding experience if you want.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iconata:
not he mention the missing drivers.. oh the missing drivers!!! no htc runs with exynos chipset.. this is a enormous work and time consuming project, besides, if you really wanted sense why didn't you bought a sensation (let the flaming begin!! :D ) anyways.. just FYI if this phone was made to run sense first of all it wouldn't be branded by samsung, and second it wouln't have the best hardware.. besides TW is much more userfriendy (for me).. just let it go.. the SGS2 won't run sense.. EVER.. BUT the real thing that i miss about sense is the lockscreen, and not the locksrceen itself, but the instant wakeup.. i think devs should try to fix the wakeup lag, not port sense.. and i know that 1 or 2 seconds wait is not much but when somebody comes up with his 600 mhz single core htc wildfire and its screen wakes up instantly and you have to wait 2 seconds on your dualcore 1.2 ghz SGS2 it's a "little" frustrating.. the hd2 had the same problem, but with some tweaking to the kernel it was reduced to 500 ms..and if i'm correct it had to do something with the lcd screen.. the problem was present in AUO screens, and not in SHARP screens.. could this be the case here? now THAT is a project that i would happily donate to
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MemoryController:
Well it wouldn't hurt to have Sense right? It's a change right? Like miui! Why do we have MIUI?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Thedonk13:
i won't lie, i do miss my EVO some days, but than i look at how much sense really did bog a system down, and i don't miss it no more.

APW pretty much made sense useless because most of their widgets look like senses..

ICS is so smooth and sexy, nothing is looking good anymore....sadly, i don't like running an experimental build so i'm going back cm7.2....i can't wait for cm9 to be working flawlessly....

i honestly wish HTC, Sammy, and Moto would just shut down their launcher devs and spend that extra budget on making our phones just a bit more badass....or inject the funds into R&D to update phones faster!
