Will TouchWiz from the 10.1 galaxy get ported to the xoom? - Xoom General

I'm liking the touchwiz on the newer samsung 3.1 tablets. Any chance it will get ported to the xoom? The newer touchwiz for the phones/tablets look really sleek alongside the widgets.

I sure hope not.
I don't think you would need to port anything, just drag over the appropriate files. It doesn't look as integrated as sense, and it runs on the stock 3.1 experience.

I dunno the new TW is pretty nice.

would be interesting if someone could get HTC Sense on the Xoom...

Touchwiz is terrible but I'm sure well be able to install on our xooms

samsung has said that touchwiz will be made available as a seperate download after they release the 10.1 so I can't see why it would be that hard to move over, at most just editing your build.prop to identify as a 10.1.

nooooooooo

i for one can say that as soon as HTC releases a honeycomb tablet with sense UI, I will be ripping it out and trying to port it to the xoom...... same as touchwz ux. There is something to be said for running stock honeycomb, but choice is also a good thing

Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to touchpiss is a better question.

Oi Do you own a Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Or a Galaxy S II?
Have you seen let alone tried TouchWiz 4 on it? Or the new honeycomb touchwiz that is being prepared for the new Tab?
No no no no.
Thought so. gtfo

i have an sgsi9000, witch has been completely de-touchwizzed and that's the best thing that could have happened to my phone. However, as I previously stated some people do actually like the added functionality, even if it does come at a speed hit. As I said before its all about choice, and that is what makes android GREAT, we can do with it what ever we choose to. Android is about customizing the expierence to siut your desire, and not having to be stuck with what somebody else says is good for you. Apple already has that part well covered ;-)

Touchwiz 4 is not great on the SGS2...

It shouldnt need to be ported for it should ab able to be like an app you can install or something to honeycomb since google more or less told them they couldnt intergrate it into the OS of honeycomb.

xooms Honeycomb is vanilla. I don't want Samsung's wiz near my vanilla.

If it wasn't based on gingerbread I would....... but a sense port would be hard enough, no to mention porting across versions of android.....

and the hardware isnt exactly the same...

My understanding is that TouchWiz for the Galaxy 10.1 is different than the one found on SGS2. The tablet version is not integrated in such a deep way as the phone versions were. If I have understood other threads correctly, the TouchWiz for tablets will be as easy as installing APK's.

similar to what they said Moto Blur would be then?
they said that after the big 'google said that third party UI wouldn't be required after 3.0' thing - it was hinted that Blur would be cut down to somewhat like apk's and 'applications' not a UI...

Sense SDK

Should be interesting here, should help with the dev's who want to port over sense to other devices.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/03/htc-announces-opensense-sdk-and-htcdev-offers-paradise-inside-i/
Not at all. It pretty clearly says that the SDK is set up in such a way as to make it no easier than a straight up port when it comes to non-sense devices.
IMO, i don't like it, but I also really like it!
It's great that they're developing Sense, but for me it's too much of an Apple-like move, cutting it off from everyone else.
Android is about "open-source" and well this SDK thing, just locks you down to Sense. :/

Who are you referring to when you say "our"? And I'm not talking about a UI. I'm talking about the move to create a mini-market for only Sense UI things. Not the actual UI, of course, each manufacturer to their own UI, it's what gives them an edge over the other manufacturers making similar spec android phones.

Why would the xoom, being the first honeycomb tablet, be first for these things?
Samsung makes touchwiz for its products, so it would never be available for a Motorola device first. Regardless of which tablet came first.

Does the Xoom have the same audio codec WM8903 as the Galaxy Tab 10 and Transformer? If not, then that's probably why we don't have Voodoo sound.
I dont understand why in motorola section our dev are so conservative...i think that people bought honeycomb tablet vs ipad for play a little.

I've had the font for a little bit now it's pretty nice, but all the apps are odexed and there isn't a means to deodex them yet, so we have to wait and see I believe.
Yeah, I saw that you posted, I installed soon after, very easy on the eyes. I'm excited for ICS even though we just got GB source. I'm thinking maybe Google's ICS framework is what's needed for that sexy contacts or as they say, "people app", but I want that on my epic.
Yeah, I'm trying to take images from the ICS keyboard and move them to the Gingerbread keyboard. I replaced all the files....and yet, it still shows Gingerbread images. D:
But the font makes it more enjoyable.
Thanks Shiny, now that GB source just hit, you would think all the Debbie Downers would shut the hell up but now I am already seeing threads as to when will we get ICS. And this adds fuel to their fire....LOL.

Don't know if that is what they meant by it should be capable on 2.3 devices. More that the hardware will be able to handle ICS if it could handle Gingerbread. This would not be the first time though that a phone runs a newer version of android with a modified older kernal.

Any ROM port suggestions?

What ROMs do you guys want? I ported MIUI to epic and am working on other stuff there. I can probably port MIUI ICS when we get CM9. What do you guys want though? HTC's Tablet Sense?
EDIT: I have the WiFi version btw, so if anyone wants carrier specific versions of ROMs, tell me what to change or just take my WiFi Roms and add support for your carrier.
No idea, i would love a source built ICS ROM but I hear CM9 is on the horizon and to my knowledge no Tegra 2 device has a GPU accelerated ICS ROM????
Just had to bump the thread and throw some words in..

I can't quite build from source yet. Don't have the skills or the computer requirements (if my pc tried to build ics, it'd probably take days, weeks, months, or even years). I have a netbook and ics takes several hours to build with 16gb of ram so I can't imagine it with only 1 gb.

Sorry but I don't have the skill or knowledge for cm9, but we're in good hands: pershoot and cyanogen (you know, the guy who started cyanogenmod and the namesake of it). We'll have good builds soon, but apparently theres a non technical issue for all tegra 2 devices.
I can do miui once we get a good cm9 build and I will, but I need for other tablets to be supported because otherwise the resolution will be qhd at best. Either that or I need to find a way to make things support our resolution.

Wait, you meant an actual Sense ROM? Oh there's most likely no way in hell you'll pull that off, that's like 95% impossible. If you actually manage to pull it off though, I'll be amazed. No HTC device has the Galaxy Tab resolution, chip set, GPU, CPU, so some hard care porting is needed. Still, I'll be super impressed if you could get a Sense ROM booting, even if almost nothing worked.

port from what?
If you can take another ROM honestly, I'd like a CM7 ROM. There is nothing about Honeycomb that I think is significantly better than Gingerbread especially with the CM7 features.
Or does it have to be another Tablet ROM like something from the Motorola Xoom or Acer Iconia?
I don't know if this is even possible but I love the UI on gridOS
Its android based but I do no of that's enough
If you don't know what it is look it up on YouTube or something
It looks amazing
