If you work for Motorola, cover your ears and say "Blur Blur Blur Blur" at the top of your lungs over and over again for the duration of this post, because what we're about to present is an unholy marriage the likes of which neither
Sanjay Jha nor
Peter Chou ever intended. It's not the first time we've heard of a version of Sense
finding its way onto Motorola hardware, but developers over on
AllDroid have posted a bunch of video and stills claiming to have ported an
HTC Desire's (née Bravo's)
Sense-enabled firmware to Moto's beast -- and what's more, there's footage of it running Flash. Bear in mind that the speed at which Flash is running here looks downright painful -- and we fully expect official Flash support on the Droid later this year anyhow -- but anyone conflicted between the Droid's muscular lines and HTC's lovely skin might want to keep an eye on this project. It's still very early in development, but the most important part of the port has already been finished: it shows the proper Droid logo on startup. Follow the break for video.

Why does everyone want to port Sense to all the Android devices that aren't running it?
test
I wish I knew how to root a phone and load a custom ROM on it. Sense looks a lot nicer then a "Google Experience" device like the Droid.

I did this on my droid and have it overclocked to 800 mhz and it is faster than any 3GS i have put it up against in loading pages. I can take it up to 1 and 1.2 ghz with no problem. easy safe and best of all its built so you can go back to an unrooted 2.0.1
This is madness. Not Sparta. Just madness.
Droid: Locked to Verizon, US CDMA only.
HTC Desire: Not released in the US, only dual-band UMTS without support for 850 nor 1700 band.
WTF? My only hope for a "super phone" is to wait the imaginary Nexus One with 850 UMTS band support. Are unicorns real?
Cool I guess, in the sense that they got that to somewhat work.
The experience of using that thing looks absolutely dreadful. I realize it's not optimized, but it's hard to imagine the level of optimization needed to make it anything but painful to use.
Is that Michael Cera narrating this video??
