Sense UI Rom

Hey there,

I'm pretty sure you are sick of people asking this question. I'm currently using a HTC hero and thinking about buying a Galaxy S. Though I love the Sense UI. Although I've never tried touchwiz. When I was looking around I found a 2.1 ( Or was it 2.2 ) sense UI for Nexus One and thought why not ask.. Back to my question is there a 2.2 / 2.1 sense UI rom for the Samsung Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tingen:
No sense. Launcher Pro and Fancy Widget. It's almost like sense.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alexander13:
Thanks for your quick answer. Galaxy S is a good purchase right? Its really expensive and I don't want to feel in a month that I have wasted my money.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TimTaylorX:
if you want to use the SGS out of the box, then it isn't a good choice. the SGS lags really hard, cause samsung is a littebit stupid. so you have to root the phone. if you don't like to that, i think you should buy another phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
You don't have to root it with voodoo lagfix

http://project-voodoo.org/download
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lovebongo:
The voodoo-project sounds awesome. Do I void my warranty by applying the lag fix without rooting my SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
The "lag" really isn't that intrusive.. Besides, Froyo will possibly eliminate the rest of it

[Q] New sense boot animation

It has been nice is someone can port the new htc boot animation who is very fast to Samsung galaxy s. Is just take a few seconds from you start up you phone to you can use your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
That's part of sense if i recall, it cannot be extracted to use in other formwares. Secondly its not really a full off, it just puts ur phone in some sort of hibernate mode. You can confirm this by pulling out the battery and realizing it takes just as long as any other phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
YUP, it's a very low power standby mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aery:
i loled.

A boot animation has nothing todo with the time a phone needs to boot up. ;-)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Yea n from the article u just linked :

Show me a video of someone with the battery pulled out and put back in and start the phone this fast and i'll be impressed :rolleyes:

If you want a similar effect with our phones :

1. Get a profile app that when screen is off turns on airplane mode.

2. Get a cpu profiler to set your cpu to minimum when screen is off.

3. Turn off your screen and just pretend ur running sense with "SUPER FAST STARTUP" :rolleyes:

Moved thread to Q&A
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
These threads keep on appearing. This would take a lot of dedication to get this on to the I9000. It uses completely different hardware etc and should prove to be quite difficult. Although it may not be impossible but if anything HTC Sense related gets ported it will be a while before it finally gets to our devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IREWolfman:
If mac osx can be ported to the HTC Shift i'm sure its possible to port the Sence rom to the SGS? :D (It ran Vista ;))
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Btw cm just got it so like everything else, we gotta wait for cm to come to our phones :p

[Q] [REQ] Smooth Sense Icons

Hey,

I'm pretty new at this whole Galaxy S android config and I was wondering if anyone could port them for the official 2.1 update. Here's the link for the icons.

My firmware is:

PDA: I9000XWJM5

PHONE: I9000XXJM1

CSC: I9000OXXJM1

Anyone? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frauhottelmann:
I am going to work on this over the course of this week :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alexander13:
:D! Awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azreil24:
Thanks for the link, i`m going to use the icons to mod my theme. If frauhottelmann doesn`t beat me to it, i`m going to upload it here :)

I`m going to use them for JPK ROM, upload your original framework.apk file in order to mod it for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alexander13:
I will as soon as my phone is charged. Have to charge it 10 to 12 hours. It's the first charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azreil24:
Don`t worry, is enough to charge untill the phone says is 100% charged :)

LE: I changed the icons for my SGS but they don`t look too good as the background is not transparent. If anyoan knows a good PNG editor please share the name. I`m trying now to port the Desire HD icons and look :D hope to succed soon :)

launcher pro + fancy widget + Sense theme

then add anything else you want to it

all listed in the Applications & Themes section of the forum

TouchWiz Has SENSE PANEL PREVIEWS(JPK)!

TouchWiz is catching up to HTC"s sense.

Anyone running jph try zooming in your fingers (pinching)in touchwiz. You will find that tw has previews like sense and launcher pro.

Nice feature, touchwiz is gradually becoming cooler :)

EDIT: the same panel previews applies to the application drawer, try pinching and see what happens:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Cool :cool:

BTW is there a way to set the default home screen ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
Download"home switcher" from the market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Was that intended for my question about setting the default home screen ??

Thats app is for setting the default launcher, has nothing to do with setting which home screen (out of the 7) is the default home screen. I have already tried SGS Screen Changer, but for some reason it doesn't work. my phone is rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
Oh, sorry. My bad. I thought you meant the default launcher. I don't know about the default screen.

Does the sense previews work on your touchwiz?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Nope, I still have 2.1 Optus stock DTJG4. Waiting for the official 2.2 release ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:

nice man i am still on jg4 .

but waiting for official froyo release though..

and i am unable to use 2 button combo fix. was ur dissabled as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] superchango:
I think this is a bit old, since 1st froyo (jpc?) i've noticed this functionality.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
All froyo have it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
ohh, i thought it was new as i just flashed from JG4 to JPK, sorry.

It was new for me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I'd call it "panel previews" and not Sense panel previews though... It's not like HTC came up with the idea. Personally I saw it first on OSX, even though it's used for appswitching there. And it can be dated back in less advanced forms to Windows 3.11 if not even before that...

Cellphones hasn't brought in a single new idea on UI-design, but they still patent all kinds of **** simply because they do it on a phone rather than a computer, kind of ridiculous really.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paranoid2007:
*Yawn*. Old News. How's using Touchwiz with Launcher Pro around anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
For gods sake. Everyone knows this and how is this development???

Lock, move and give warning worthy thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] superchango:
It is the way with legal matters, although i don't know if legally a comparison between a computer and a phone (with screen resol, cpu,gpu, memory and OS) can be established.

Considering that my phone is more powerful than the pc I had several years back....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I use it. Launcher Pro doesn't really bring me anything I need. Touchwiz allows me to rearrange apps in the appdrawer and scroll app-pages sideways. There's not a single reason for me to use another launcher as I don't really give a crap if I have to wait 0.4 more seconds when hitting the home button.

(EDIT: Oh yeah... This is in android development... Sorry about adding to the FUD. had I noticed, I wouldn't have replied to this...)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
No, I also had the optus branded version and 3button recovery/download mode was working. Lucky me;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
I prefer touchwiz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
I am sorry for posting"old" news. It was new to me as I just flashed from JG4 to	JPK. I posted it because I thought that it could be of use for those who have froyo and have not found this feature.

On the topic of launcher pro, I find it slow and isn't compatable with samsung widgets like feeds and daily breifing.

Again im sorry but out could be of use for others
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
Tad harsh old chap
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skiddhard:
No doubt its a bit harsh. Also the fact, when pointed out, the OP has in a way said sorry.

Having said that, it really becomes difficult to filter out questions and "new" discoveries and new MOD"s or announcements of new ROM's, etc. It certainly becomes a pain in the rear when people keep posting questions in the development section. It really cannot get any clearer than this. Questions in Questions and Developments in Development.

Imagine the pain for the Moderator who has to keep scrubbing the forums and moving the threads in the right category all the time. Pretty sure its not one of their favorite things to do..... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sirphunkee:
racerboy, as has been pointed out above, this thread has absolutely nothing to do with development, and should NOT have been posted in that section. Also, this topic has been discussed at length in other threads here.

[Q] Thinking about Sense

Lately i was playing with a HTC Desire.

The Sense interface really made a good impression on me.

So i was searching the internet about a port to the Galaxy S, i didn't find it :(

Did anyone came ever came up with the idea to port Sense or a whole HTC ROM to the Galaxy S? Did anyone succeed or is there still progress?

I would love to have a complete Sense rom, without TW.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:

Desire HD or Sense Rom for Galaxy S yet?

hey i wanted to pick up a samsung vibrant to mess with but the touch wiz and launcher pro got tired fast for me. i really like some of the the skins that come with the new sense rom for the desire HD. i was wondering if there is already or will be a port of this rom to the galaxy S models. ive been doing some searches and cant seem to find sense running on the Galaxy S. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thatg:
sorry, just did a search found this here, looks like so far you can get skins for launcher pro to replicate sense, but a port is still being worked on

Hey guys. I am in the same boat as the OP regarding wanting the Sense UI but the Galaxy S too. I don't like the Touchwiz 3.0 that much...well compared to Sense UI.

I got my HTC Hero specifically because it ran the Sense UI...it just looks great and polished...

Any news/updates as to whether or not running Sense UI on the Galaxy is possible....

Also did Samsung say that they would retain the Super AMOLED technology for there phones exclusivly for a year before 'leasing' it to other people?

If that is true then I guess this is the phone to get and will last a year from now..even if dual core cpus / better hardware comes out soon... the screen is just amazing !

look forward to reading your replies.

Any chance of getting HTC Sense Widgets into Touchwiz 3.0?

Hi,

i just moved on from my Hero to Galaxy S.

But i miss some of the Sense Widgets, i extraced the apk files from the custromrom i have installed on the Hero and installed them on the galaxy s but i can not put them on the screen. They don't appear in any list. :(

Any Ideas?

Greetings

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanolite:
HTC included some system files of their own to complement the Android OS in making the UI, HTC Sense. I believe it means that you can't use widgets or apps which utilize those system files in any phones without HTC Sense UI.

Just go to http://www.androidzoom.com/ and find similar apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacaronyMax:
I reccomend beautiful widgets my hero is on a vanila rom at mo and use buatiful widgets and actualy prefer it :D

Does anybody know if it is possible to port some of the HTC Sense-widgets to the Galaxy..? I would really like to get the clock/weather widget on the homescreen of the Galaxy.. But have any tried..?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Elvoski:
download fancy widget from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
the ADW launchers etc are supposed to be implementing the Sense scrolling calanders fairly soon....according to android central anyway.

wonder how long it is before the HTC lawsuit thingy causes them to take the app off the market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
Yeah Fancy Widget has already been warned by HTC, i guess the dev is dishin out as many updates before the line is cut hehe...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
try beautiful home app in marketplace it is one of the top apps for a reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
Beautiful Widgets u mean right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
ya sorry great app for clock and weather i have used since nexus 1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
ah yeah maybe its that one! would make sense and like you said the dev prob doesnt care anymore and wants to be the biggest pain in the ass he can be with the time hes got left on the market:P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HazzBazz:
So real sense requires a specific htc framework, so unless a sense rom is outed then true sense widgets aren't likely.

Again, time scape requires it's framework to work. Id love to see a top dev try to stack the frameworks, but I'm sure there are overlaps clashes and conflicts. Imitations like fancy widget are fine for filling in, but I still miss the sense calendar. If the desire roms are ported for galaxy I will be pleased, I like the sorted galaxy launcher but its too iPhoney...

Galaxy S with Sense UI

Hi,

Completely new to this.

Trying to decide between SGS and HTC Desire

Is it possible to replicate the sense UI on the galaxy S? and if so, how?

or

Is it likely to be possible to do so in the future?

Thanks very much
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Axefield:
Why don't you just get yourself a Desire if you need Sense? There's not that much differences anyway in the hardware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkeyman99:
Firstly, as they are both free as an upgrade cost isn't an issue

Secondly, the hardware of the Galaxy S is superior

I personally prefer the Sense UI,

So that's why I'm looking for a combination of the two
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
well the htc sense keyboard works.. i posted another post on it.. the sense live wallpaper.. 1/2 works.. comes up in the list of wallpapers. now that i manually installed it but will not run.. hopefully someone will figure it out.. my guess is that everything will be running on our phone in time..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkeyman99:
Thanks for the quick response, I think I'll go with the Galaxy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
Actually there is significant differences in the hardware between the devices.

The screen is much better on the Galaxy S. Bigger, brighter, crisper and has better touchpanel.

The CPU is faster and the GPU is a lot faster.

The pro's for desire is:

More hardware buttons, LED flash and that's what I can think of. The build quality some say is better, i'm not entirely sure. I think both are solid builds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
My first awesome phone was HTC and I'm on my 4th one (rhodium). However, I understand that Samsung is making a Galaxy S Pro that has a frickin' keyboard, Hummingbird, and better than Snapdragon GPU. HTC seems to be preoccupied with keyboardless phones so...

Is it as easy to replace broken screens on Sammy devices as it is on HTC devices? Also, can you do stuff like run WinMo 6.1 on a Wizard or different COM branches of WM 6.5.x? One thing about HTC phones in my opinion is they frickin' suck until you find this website. I don't mean can you run WinMo on it (I haven't jumped ship from it yet), but I do mean is it as friendly to hacking it with HTC builds with chopped Samsung drivers? I didn't know that Samsung was bad about ROM updates, but I know that HTC builds tend to leak like a sieve and wonder if there are "leet" Samsung/Android folks like Olipro, cmonex, Chainfire, and some other folks are in HTC WinMoland?

I know Galaxy S Pro isn't out yet but it looks like sammy is going to fulfill my wish for 1GHz with acceptable GPU, headphone jack, and a real keyboard way before HTC does.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
It is easy to replace the screen on devices with resistive touch screens. You will find that almost all Android phones have capacitive touchscreens and those are harder and especially more expensive to replace. However, They dont break or scratch nearly as easily as resistive touchscreens because instead of being made of plastic, the top-layer of a capacitive screen is usually a glass(-like) material.

For the comaprison here:

I have had a Samsung TouchWiz for two years without screenprotector and there wasnt a single scratch on the screen. It took my HTC Touch Diamond2 about 2 days before it had the first visible scratch. (Note that this has little to no relation to the manufacturer and is almost certainly entirely caused by the different screen techniques.)

As for choosing a phone: I went with the Galaxy over the HTC because of the better hardware specs. Sense is nice but I'm pretty sure it will be ported to the GS in due time and there are plenty of replacements out there and there are plenty that are just as good as sense. And TouchWiz isn't all that bad either.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
After hearing the news of Galaxy S launch, I thought it'd be priced higher than HD2, desire and nexus one, cause of its 4" mouth watery SUPER - AMOLED screen and 720p video recording and 16gb internal storage. But I was surprised to see the price of SGS on par with the desire and nexus one (in my locality Chennai, India).

Now I'm confused between three phones HD2, Desire and SGS. Earlier it was just HD2 / Desire. Now that HD2 has android ported to it, it scores high.

Even I have the same doubt of SENSE UI ON SGS? If not, atleast is it possible to turn off the touchwiz 3.0 on SGS? Even eclair 2.1 looks good to me.

BTW, is the pinch zoom on desktop possible on default eclair 2.1? (or atleast can it activated by any hardware button?)

Please somebody answer to my queries, these are all decision making doubts :(
