I thought I posted this before but I think the whole raid controller thing happened and it got erased so I'll ask again. I asked in the Q&A section and was told to ask here so here it is. I was wondering if there is any way possible to port the Droid X rom over to our HD2? I absolutely love a lot of features in that rom including the gallery and the scrollable widgets. I have the Droid X dump, just have no idea what to do with it. I figure the screen resolution should be just about perfect for our phones too as the screen size is almost the same. Please help if you can. Thank you.
BTW. here is a link to the Droid X dump incase anyone wants to give it a go. http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6
Just make a screenshot of the droid x build,print it out,put it as a sticker on the hd2 : problem solves,droid x on the hd 2...
Thanks for the help, I asked in the Q and A section they told me to ask here, I searched the android development forum before posting it again but didn't see the other one I did and thought it might have gotten deleted when the raid controller problem was going on and I never got to see if anyone replied before that. Forgive me for asking questions I will not do it again. Thank you again for your speedy replies and again I am sorry for asking if there was a possibilty of something.

It's cool, people on XDA can get pretty snippy sometimes. If you notice, A LOT of people are posting non "development" type stuff in the "development" subforum, like random questions about screen freezes and stuff.
This subforum is for kernels, ROMs, builds, and stuff. Questions like this would be posted in the "Android on HD2 General" subforum.
I would also like to see a Droid X ROM, but don't know how to port a raw dump to a stable HD2 ROM, what I would do is upload the dump and link it in a thread, and then maybe some developer looking for a challenge will take on the task.

first Id like to say I really like how you handled this.
Secondly isnt the droid x software just motoblur? if so then there did motoblur roms a while back for the g1 which we called esspresso.
maybe one of those roms can be ported even though it isnt froyo.

Thanks.
Well you have a point, but I think they may have incorporated a "newer" version of motoblur that takes advantage of the more features of the phone, and maybe more widgets. I wouldn't know exactly though. And honestly at this point you gotta do Froyo if you're going to cook an HD2 rom.
I don't know a lot about the Droid X to be honest (although I use that NFL app that was ported on my MIUI rom on my HD2).
Thank you all for your support and replies. I am sorry for posting in the wrong section, I never intended it to be such a harmful post or get people all up in arms about anything. I just want to learn, I am pretty good with coding certain things like any web language and some linux/unix stuff but I don't know if I'm advanced enough to take on a task like this. I can however design anything anyone could need. If I can help in anyway with anything I would love to. Here is the system dump from the Droid X if anyone wants to take it on http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6 . Like I said if I can help in any way feel free to tell me what to do and I'm on it. Thank you all again.
Where is the link to the Dump?
I wouldn't mind giving this a shot at porting, I have nothing else to do anyways.

Yeah no problem dude, you should edit your orginal post and put the download link in the main post just so any other developer could see it and possibly rename the post to "Droid X Dump" it could be helpful.
yes please let's stop the senseless bickering and let whomever wants to try a port have at it without all this garbage in the way. If you guys want to bicker some more maybe PM or Palringo or something?
@ OP & CrazyEye,
Maybe CrazyEye should start a new thread on this, because you are going to want to edit your OP with new builds and kernels and stuff as you get more done.
Thread cleaned, and moved to general section.
@everyone... Please stop the flaming and please post helpful things, and if anyone violates the rules, please report the post.
Ive tried porting it. I have compiled the ext2 file and booted it, but it is simply starting the white HTC screen then restarting.
If sombody could provide the orgional system.img file I will try from that instead!
Im not sure how to get the original system.img file. If you can instruct me how to get it I will and hopefully that will work. Thank you

This Ridiculous
There were multiple threads, each taking a different approach , about various issues concerning the HERO rom. I know the mods are doing their job but this is extremely frustrating when a thread is actually helping you. I managed to get HERO rom working with Lawrence's thread and then I tried to push a new VK through another Tutorial thread but guess what ? It was removed and now my VK doesn't work. How am I suppose to ask questions? Where did the thread go?
If you are going to delete a thread, move it, or merge it, it would be extremely helpful if there is a sticky or something letting us know.
they were all saying the exact same thing in 40 dialects, it's repetitive useless information and doesn't really do anything but clutter the forums.
I dont see one thread with the information i am looking for? where is the consolidation? where are they merged?

I totally agree. This deleting of the threads is getting out of hand. I was almost done with the step by step instructions by lawrence when the thread was deleted!!
I guess the short answer to your question is don't venture into uncharted waters, i.e. messing around with a beta ROM that you have no idea how stable it will be, and not really having an understanding of exactly how to troubleshoot on your own. This is a developers forum, not a place to ask a thousand questions, each of which has either been asked or answered already.

JustAnotherCrowd - HERO ROM
There was a thread on a rom JustAnotherCrowd was about to release, looked real promising but now its been deleted.... What's up with that?
i swear people really? are you fing serious?
read the instructions, understand what they are doing, then do it. this stuff is beta, its not even suppose to work on the g1. if you want a stable os on your phone then dont fck with it.
creating threads crying about how somethingdidnt work just looks childish.
if you want to ask a question, goto the irc where people are there to help each other. creating thread after thread or posting after posting isnt going to solve your problems...
As someone who is NOT rushing off to unstable hero builds, I for one do like the cleaning up of those threads. If its hero related, it should be kept in hero thread. There was one hero thread, and 4 'how to fix hero' threads. This clutters up the forum. Everyone is rushing to an unstable build to get to rosie UI and not realizing flashing to hero requires some knowledge and following directions extra carefully.
Either people should STOP making new threads for fixing hero, or people actually read before flashing it to see EVERYTHING that is required to do before loading it.
Thanks mods.
mods are deleting **** for joke lol
stop creating threads asking where threads went.

Many threads have started to dissapear.
Not sure what's going on.
I'll to find new links for the ROM database.
If anybody has any links for the builds, please let me know.
Twitter accounts or anyway to contact the developer will do.
contact me at: [email protected]
Thanks
I know it's possible now since there are Desire and Incredible ROMs running Sense on Froyo, so I'd be very happy if a developer could figure out how to port one of those to the Eris. Obviously they're different screen resolutions (and the Desire is GSM instead of CDMA), but it must be possible. Thank you in advance!

Hah, for what? It's your 2nd post and your already trolling? The man is asking something pretty simple, if someone would be willing to do a port on an EXISTING rom or if anyone is currently working on one...no need to report.
Been around long enough to know no one likes it when people post these types of things. You think some dev hasn't already thought of this? You think his question is going to motivate them? It just clogs up the page.

If a dev has thought about it or has been messing with it, nobody knows about it yet(for the eris at least). Maybe someone who has worked on that type of thing (porting) or others might be interested.

Anyway, here's the link to 2.2 sense for the Incredible if anyone was interested in checking it out for a possible port.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have no problem when someone posts a very benign request. There's nothing wrong with what thenestor did. He made a legit post throwing an idea out there with the hope that the devs would comment on the possibility of doing it.
What I do have a problem with is a new punk user coming in and throwing weight around that he doesn't have. The only problem with this thread is that you posted on it.

umm... that's a LEAKED rom... I believe theres a difference between LEAKED & ROOTED roms..
Once you go onto a leaked rom, you lose root privileges..which is NOT what you want...
Then again, he might just mean that its leaked to everyone else, thereby not really a leak..

please explain? im running a cyanogen Tazz froyo rom and i still have root privileges? is it gonna change if you port it from another devices?
From what I gathered, it's a leaked OTA ROM that has been modified with the superuser apk and such. So it should still allow for root access.

Depends slightly on what's being requested really. Requesting someone make a Sense 2.2 ROM is different from requesting that someone make a Sense 2.2 ROM with X Y and Z added and A B and C removed.
He's not requesting a customized ROM, just asking if someone was doing a Sense 2.2 ROM.

This is worse then my high school, honestly guys. If you have a problem with a question you can either:
A) Skip over it and let it float to the bottom
B) Say do it yourself
C) Try and say something worthwhile
To be the only one answering to answer the OP question in 18 posts is very sad.
OP, It is said that Framework is working on it, but as of right now I think he is the only one. Andrizoid was, but we all know what happened to him.

thank you sir but we really should watch the name calling

youl see i never created a thread . . . . EVER because i - A either use google myself B ask a developer in his thread or C-DEAL WITH IT UNTIL ITS FIXED OR RELEASED.
i enjoy learning and helping others learn but there becomes a point when people are asking to be spoon fed and i disagree with that strongly. If you feel that you need a place to be spoon fed. . . . Phandroid.com or androidforums.com seem to be very open minded towards that and helping code thief's prosper. i have no issues with either of said forums however "me personally" i chose XDA because its a reputable place to LEARN,

root the phone, install a custom recovery. Try out the HTC Sense ROM in the G1 section.

Wrong section.
Try searching and reading.
Thank you, I will have to check that out. I guess my real question was is it possible to install a .apk of htc sense on top of say, CM 6.1?

Most Sense UI rom system apps you cannot.
They would have to be modified for the Google framework.
It can be done but in most cases it's too much work.
It was done with the HTC Music app but I think that was about it.

No. Wrong. Unless you are developing or planning on developing then everything pretty much goes in General. 90% of questions posts that have a [Q] in the title belong in General (Q&A).
It works like this:
People with unrooted phones and just want information should go to General.
People with rooted phones but have ideas or suggesions should post in that particular rom thread for the developer... NEVER a new thread in Development! Otherwise, General.
Questions, comments or submitting of or about customizations (themes, wallpapers, etc) should go in Themes
Questions, comments or submitting (as long as it's not warez) of or about individual apps from Market should go in Apps.
Questions, comments about sdcards, cases, shields, batteries, etc should go in Accessories.
Safe rule of thumb is if you don't know... post in General.
If you don't know how to compile a rom then you should think twice before posting in Development (since it's specifically towards those that are developing or at least the members that are contributing useful information, walkthroughs, guides, etc).
Pretty simple really.
But if you DO know how to create roms and apps then use apktool to decompile the htc framework and try porting it over. However HTC doens't like to release a lot of their sources so if apktool doesn't work then it'll probably be easier for a developer to start by making his/her own as an imitation. Just don't blame XDA if you get sued.

Nope. Actually, flashing a ROM using recovery should never brick a phone. Worse case scenario, it'll throw you into a boot loop, but then you just boot back into recovery and flash another ROM.
And most G1 ROM's will work for myTouch 32B owners, since a 32B myTouch is basically a G1 without the physical keyboard.

What are the rules about posting other peoples work, i.e. ROMS and themes? Im not sure but I see over in other forums, like the EVO for example where 5 people are making ROMS using a base that they give credit to one guy for. I only ask this because over here in the D2 section, there is only 3-4 different groups working on stuff, everyone is tight lipped and not willing to let anyone in on the "secret". I see random posts where it says that the source for the base of ALL these ROMS is open, meaning ANYONE should have access, and ANYONE should be able to do as they please with them. I know that is not the case and it comes down to who you know, just like anywhere else in life, but I think the community is only being held back because we only have those select few working on new stuff....DONT get me wrong, all the devs. are doing amazing work for us D2 users, I just think we are being limited alot. I sent a pm to one dev in particular asking him to release a variant of his themes with the ApeX flip and fly out transition animations added. They are really cool and they compliment his ROMS well. I even got permission from some others to use those. I not only didnt get a response, but when I pm'd him askin why he hadnt responded, he said he never got it, (I still have it in my outbox). I just think it would be cool to have, say, a Fission Blackout ROM with the blackout Swype and android keyboard, and the cool transitions from ApeX, and only have to flash one zip in recovery. Im just sayin. Im not being ungrateful so please dont tear me apart, just puttin it out there

Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

was the OP not good info? i didnt see the thread anywhere in the dev section and a XOOM sytstem dump seems like dev worthy material... i know i would have never seen it if it was not posted... i dont spend to much time in the HD2 section, only this one. i get that it was posted already in another section but isnt that why there are specific sections on this forum? otherwise the first post of the system dump would be packed full all the people with all the diffrent phones and tablets. and i know i dont go searching all the other subforum stuff for GTAB related info...
so off my soap box now... lol thanks for the find and for the post!! cant wait to see what this brings us!!
I've been mucking about with the system image, trying to get it to run, from a VEGAn base, not been successful so far. But my experience with ROM devving has been scant, to say the least
Basically I tried pushing the xoom system files straight on top of a VEGAn install, which ran out of space! Then tried just the xoom system, which fit, but rebooted to recovery and "erasing MSC" came up.
Then tried a mix of both, which had permissions errors (no +x on /system/bin), which when fixed, led to a reboot to recovery.
And then my lunch break was over, so I had to get back to real work Will do some reading tonight (Now + 4 hours or so), and a more thorough look at how VEGAn hangs together, and how stuffing a honeycomb /system into it will help us out.

Thats why I said the third thread posted today about the same thing. It has been moved from the development thread multiple times because its not development. Without a boot.img this system dump is completely worthless. There still files that are needed from nvidia that are not in this dump.

ah i see, i didnt understand your reply. So the system dump cannot offer anything from a dev standpoint over the SDK that we already have?

I didn't know the other two threads were moved? I was wondering why they were in the general section because like the OP I was unaware what was needed to cook or port a ROM.
This would have been nice to know right away.

If we had a boot img yes but by itself it doesnt do much. Sorry but as a regular user here at xda I get tired of seeing the same thread started over and over and its usually by n00bs who think they've discovered the wheel. I'm not putting you in that group as I can tell by your questions you are genuinely interested and are thinking before you post. I promise you that several of us have links to places where info shows up first and that as soon as there is a rom worth using it will be posted her as sticky for everyone to try. Have some patience and let the devs do their work.........or should I "gtfo"
EDIT:I am not a dev
How they build a rom to NOOK without Boot Image
I know XOOM running Tagra 2. The first vision of SDK compatible for that Nooks processor. But however they run 3.0 on Nook. But now we have full system dump running on Xoom. Why we can't do like Nook guy's?
Because the Nook Honeycomb is made from a preview SDK without any optimizations made for Tegra 2. The Nook barely runs it.
We need a dump from a Tegra 2 device or access to the AOSP HC source library-neither of which are currently available.

n00bs need info too. At least the OP didn't post a super annoying post with CAPS and exclamation marks...screaming that he has the system dump like Paul Revere. I thought he was just totally misinformed...like me.
You shouldn't gtfo, I bet the OP learned something from these threads just like me.
Yes

Notice he said reading.....All I did was read for 2 weeks before I started posting and I havent started 1 thread. I agree that noobs need to ask questions but at least look for the answer first. If you end on the irc you will find I'm one of the first people to help someone. These constant new threads with the same subject matter are just cluttering up the forum and making it impossible for noobs to learn anything because the real information is buried in endless....THE HONEYCOMB XOOM DUMP IS OUT.....WHY DON"T WE HAVE A HONEYCOMB ROM YET!!!!!!!......threads. Or one of the 100 threads started asking how to install clockwork or a rom. Most questions can be answered in the sticky posts alone but no one wants to read. They want they info spelled out to them personally. This doesn't go for everyone but its certainly intended for the "honeycomb is on the Nook, why not on the GTab now that we have a system dump" crowd.

I agree on the need to read... I have read and read, I haven't asked because I was learning slowly about all things android. For me it is hard to ask questions for fear of being called a "noob" and told to "read and search". I appreciate what those who know have done for people like me.
Glad to see you did'nt leave frogman!
I'm very glad to see that everyone's excited, but this is not going to be an easy task, at least not for me (I can't speak for the other devs and modders of whom I bow to their collective genius).
A system dump is a start, but it's not the whole picture. It's like putting together a new bicycle that's sort of the same as the old kind, but with no manual and only half the parts. Trust me, I've already tried and for longer than you might know - so far no dice.
You want to help us out? If you plan to buy one of these tomorrow, try to root it and get us a boot.img. Or the unlocked bootloader. Or a full nvflash dump would be wonderful (that's how I got the Adam mod to work on a GTAB - not because I'm a genius but because I was darn lucky that NI was forced to release an nvflash dump). I'll even take an init.rc - anything would be appreciated.
But chants of "what don't we have a port yet?" over isn't going to help us at all (and you know who you are). Seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please stop. Thanks in advance.

dude, you've been clamoring on for over a month. It'll be ready when it's ready. Learn to dev yourself or stfu and have a little patience. Pissing off the devs that do this as a hobby will get you nowhere.
