Question [Q] HTC launcher on Samsung device

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an HTC launcher on a Samsung device?
Google gives me nothing and I really miss the Sense 3.0 launcher.
I already have those far from perfect skins and themes, but I want the real thing.
I want the carousel effect, the 3D effect, and the floaty lockscreen widgets.

I imagine that it can't really be all that hard, can it.
Can't it just be installed like all the custom launchers?

Or it could be extracted from a HTC ROM and placed in a Galaxy rom instead the Touchwiz launcher.

Anyway, I hope someone can inform me about all this.

1. The launcher relies on the HTC Sense framework which refers me to point #2:
2. The HTC Sense framework is proprietary and closed-source .

So it is not possiele to just grab a random HTC sense 3.0/3.5 custom Rom and make it compatible with different hardware?

And if so, how are those custom Roms made in the first place?

If i find the time, i'm gonna experiment with this.

It's not possible even with same hardware , you may even get sued by HTC

Before this phone I had a HTC hd2 and it ran Sense 3.0, doesn't that prove enough?
I don't think we're on the same page.

Wasn't HD2 capable to run both android and wm?

There's a video on YT that presents Incredible S - stock running on Galaxy S.
