Sense 3.5 port?

[eazy2001x]

Can someone port sense 3.5 to the HTC arive? the UI sucks... i would love to see quick 2.8.414 (www.alensw.com) menu on here as well. oh.. and how about a new ver of slide to unlock

only way to see sense is to use the HTC Hub. and I'm sorry but the UI does not suck, its actually the best UI I've ever used, to see all this information at a glance without having to open an app is brilliant, and I also love watching the tiles flip.

You are gonna have to go to a HTC android device for sense, WP7 doesn't support it.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a wp7 bash thread in which should be watched by a mod like @Tinkerbell

i don't think anyone is bashing wp7 eric. most of us came from winmo where we had lots of options and themes. no offense but you seem to be the only member here that's even sticking up for the OS. it's too locked down/ dummed down for most of our tastes. now that's not bashing it, just my opinion.

the bottom line is, if devs wanted to port sense they would have already.

there is an alternative UI for wp7 but u have to be unlocked to get it. we all seen what happened with alternative UIs on WM, alot of complaints of instability and RAM leakage, if everyone used the standard interface for WM those problems wouldn't have been present. this also seems to be the case with android as well where OEMs are now resorting to out of this world hardware to fight the issue. the result is that the dual core stock androids now run about the same level of stability as a WP7 on a single core processor. I also think the problem with alot of users is that they have grown attached to sense and others to the point where they are too blind to accept a pleasant out of the box experience.

I came from 3 WinMo devices and I'll stand by it(WP7). I agree,I don't think anyone is bashing WP7 and its locked down for now, but it's an infant OS and customization will come soon. I loved working on my phone more than I used it. I enjoy being "dumb" right now because it "works" I do get tired of the wife who complained about my phone obsession, asking for help now w/ her EVO & EVO3D. Sense was really cool w/WinMo but don't miss it as far as function vs. the woo factor of "windshield wipers slappin out the tempo". I'm glad we have choices. Everyone wins! It all comes down to personal choice. For me, as an artist, I miss the visual customization, but "Mango" has implemented everything I was missing as a daily driver. Only the end user decides what is best for them. That's why I no longer recommend phones to friends.

the wp7 line has been out for awhile and still it lacks development. i was never onboard with microsoft locking down the os to begin with. that's why most of our winmo devs moved on to android. another reason wp7 never really took off is because the sales people and carriers do not advertise or push the phones to customers.

i feel the same fate will happen to w8 for our computers if they keep going with that boring metro look.
