Will Sense be able to be ported to Captivate?

Not saying that Samsung's UI is bad, because it seems like an interesting variation on Android, but I do love Sense UI and it'd be awesome on a 4" Super AMOLED display

I've heard that the SGS phones will probably get rooted quickly, if not already, so do y'all think there'd be any hardware issues?

I'm assuming you mean TouchWiz

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm always mixing those 2 up.

I really hate the bubbly colorful icons, and all the menus on the captivate. Thats my first priority when i get one, is getting rid of that.

I cant wait for it to be rooted, and a vanilla rom. CANT WAIT! This will be my first android phone.

I I've been an iphone user for years, i have the ip4 as well. But i've had my eye on android, and i think this is the time.

Time to get rid of my aging "tinkerer" phone, N95 and Touch Diamond.

So I didn't really see any response (maybe no one knows)? Can Sense UI be put on the Captivate sometime in the future?

It's not that easy. Somebody would have to take a ROM from a Desire for instance and port it to use the features and hardware of the Captivate. I'm guessing that's not an easy feat, considering they're different manufacturers and all. Magic 8-Ball Sez: Don't count on it.

That's how I figured it would need to be done. I may try out Launcher Pro and see what that looks like. I wish their main site showed some screenshots and stuff though. Thansk!

The XDA crew (who else) announced a couple days ago that they've already started working on porting Sense to all Galaxy S devices.
We are primarily working on Epic currently, but we will be working on the others afterward. If you wish to join in let us one of us know and we'll be more then glad to fill you in. It's a closed project, but will be public to everyone once we get it ready.
