[ROM LEAKED] Can we get the mytouch 4g build for HD2? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

T-Mobile myTouch 4G aka HTC Glacier Shipped ROM Leaked

My question is can we get a build for the hd2? Or are there still more things needed?

Could someone please explain to me why every time any phone with Android is released, that there are drones of people demanding developers who've put hours and hours on end of their own personal time into programming fixing and tweaking the current HD2 Android builds for no personal gain whatsoever, to devote more time and energy porting over a build that has almost no change in OS whatsoever?
I'd understand if a new phone came out with Android 2.3 or something, but all the phones being released lately aren't that much different from each other....

In the OP's defense he didn't demand anything he simply asked if it was possible and what it would take.. but your right about all the new phones OS being pretty similar.. that being said there is almost always something new in the OS when tmo drops a new android phone.. new mytouch is supposed to have a uma similar feature.. I guess we will see.

Okay then, in that case, I'd be interested in a port.
A large majority of people both in Europe and United States use T-Mobile.

What are the benefits?

TMOBILE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE MYTOUCH SLIDE UI "ESPRESSO" BUT ITS RUNNING ANDROID 2.1. AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT, THE UI ON THE MYTOUCH SLIDE HAD SKINS, LANDSCAPE SENSE, AND MULTITASKING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS WAY BEFORE THE "DESIRE HD" AND "DESIRE Z".

ALOT OF GOODIES IN THE PREVIOUS MYTOUCH (CAN APPLY LOCK WALLPAPER DIFFERENT FROM HOME WALLPAPER, THEMES, LANDSCAPE SENSE, MY FAVES GALLERY, MODE SWITCH BASE ON TIME OR LOCATION, GENIUS APP, APP PACK AND MORE). SO I AM VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THIS 2.2 VERSION OF THE MYTOUCH ROM PACKS

"similar" but not identical. For example, the processor (QSD8250 vs MSM8255) is different... Chipset might be different. radio manufacturer might be different, camera drivers mightbe different, etc etc etc.
But hey, they managed to plug in Desire Z and HD ROMs... Who knows!

If you can really use it
as UMA - that would be lovely.. the signal at my house sux and i need uma for android. That is the main reason that i want this..if possible ofcourse

Anyone got a mirror?

I'm actually extremely interested to see this get ported to the HD2. As a T-Mobile USA customer, I think that this ROM would more than likely get me exactly where I wanna be with this phone...
Hope someone decides to pick up on this... If not, oh well...

Completely agree... Whoever initiates this type of request should actually donate some money first, recommend others to do the same and then get someone interested to make a build if they want it... that way, build maker makes some $$$ and everyone is happy... even grannies don't give it for free...

HTC EVO 4G ROM on HTC HD2

Will the EVO 4G hardware be close enough to the HD2 for it to help the Android on HTC project to put Android on the HD2? Any thoughts?

indeed thats the question we are all waiting for the answer to..
lets hope it helps..
An interesting concept, there are those that are asking if Windows Phone7 is going to work with the HTC HD2 as well. Be nice if we could choose either. The HD2 is a lovely piece of kit.
when is the evo actually out? nobody got a whiff of a leaked rom?
got an hd2 myself, would love to get android

Joke you did get, much funny it was.
Complete my goal is
May the force be with you
I'm not so sure about this....
With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.
However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.
It may end up being a sheep in wolf's clothing.
I don't think you'll see it because of driver issues but if enough people want it anything is possible.

Tell that to Winterboard and AndroidLock. But yes, theming isn't supported natively.
However the iPhone port of Android is an actual native port, loaded using OpeniBoot, a custom "iBoot"-style bootloader. And you thought the HTCSPL system was tricky...

Belated, but May the Fourth be with you.
I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.
You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.
The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.

(THINKTANK)MIUI Port for the HD2 (9/22/2010)

Hey all. I'm new to the HD2 but not to android. I'm sure you've all seen the MIUI rom for desire and nexus. (if you haven't go here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M&feature=player_embedded
To clarify :"It appears that the ROM has been mostly custom built using only the base from Android 2.2 and then building an exceptional interface on top that could beat anything else that currently exists.
From full FM radio support to completely customizable home screens, dedicated buttons on the lock screen that take you to the SMS app and the phone dialer."
Since its fore the desire/nexus, It should be an easy port to the HD2, I just need halp
I'm sure most of us would love to see this implemented on the HD2. I thought I could do it myself, but I've tried and failed. Below are two links. One for the full rom and the other is a link to the system.ext2 image I made from the /system folder of the ROM. I've tried a couple of different kernel combinations and still can't get it to boot (replaced the system.ext2 in shubcraft with the one I made and it just reboots). I don't yet know enough about android on the hd2 to get this working myself. So I figured I'd start a thread and see where we can get.

Seems like the hd2 has quite the community following. I'm looking forward to working with you guys
UPDATE: 9-24-2010 : We do have a working test build that is being given out to a few folks. No ETA on a alpha or beta release. Hopefully this weekend. I'm tonight and tomorrow so I'll squeeze in some android time when I can. SARCASTILLO (guy who made hyperdroid) gets the credit for getting this thing booting. To see what we have in action go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7x_6cuHM8g
Hey there biff, did you finally trade in the slide for an HD2? If so, im glad to see you over here now.
P.S. The music in the video makes me want to run up a big flight of stairs and air punch at the top.
i love the idea of "endles" possibilities when it comes to UI for a single phone and i hope you are succesful in porting this for HD2, but i HAVE to say
iOS UI on Android? YUCK *puke*

Nice to hear that ! We always lack people like you, however the few Hd2 build developers have magic hands.
Maybe you already know that, but I suggest you to contact them directly for this great project because Hd2 is a very popular phone, so this forum is 99.9% populated by end-users. At the begining kernel developers tried to work into xda forums, but deserted for the Htc-linux Irc because of noise.
This would be so awesome!!!! DEVS, plz plz plz look at this !!
personally i'd love to see this ported! would be something... different!
I'm looking forward to it too. Looks interesting.
I rather run the actual os then the ui
I would definitly try the real OS if it would be possible cool to have all those OS es hehe

Hope you can make it and if you base it on the new Desire HD Rom, and include some other languages like japanese, your rom will be one of the greatest. Thank you and good luck

HTC Gratia Froyo sense ROM? anyone?

Hey guys I just found out about this european version of the htc aria coming soon and running froyo sooo I guess we can get a port over to the slide when a leaked rom is found... right? check it out is suposed to come out in november but the leaks always come out sooner xD so maybe we will finally see a froyo sense rom for the slide by next month or christmas

From looking over the specs it would have similar issue as the myTouch HD ROM, only in the other direction... it has a lower resolution than we do.

Yeah I was suffering from a momentary case of cranial flatulance on the resolution. For some reason I saw 320x480 and was thinking QVGA not HVGA. So yeah in theory other than adding the coding for the hard keyboard it "should" be fairly easy. Maybe Ace or Miquel could take a peak and let us rookies know. I can flash like a champ and help out with some minor issues/questions but am mostly code-tarded

This rom would be portable, I never heard of that phone, but I'll look it up for some info... Kb support can be done, has been done 100's times on G1+sense roms.
Well, this probably means that an official Froyo release for the Aria is close too. One thing that kind of concerns me is that I have seen more than one web site state that the Gratia will not run the "new Sense UI". I am still within the 30 day return window on my Aria, I got it because a) I did not want to be like 90% of the people around me with a iPhone 3GS or 4 b) it is small, I absolutely despite the size of the Galaxy S. However, if this is already incapable of running today's OS I will likely return it and grudgingly get an iPhone 4. Unfortunately I am stuck on AT&T on account of my wife and daughter being iPhone drones.
I wouldn't worry too much about it not running the new Sense. a) You haven't used it, so you don't even know if you'll like the changes. b) A ROM is sure to surface. c) I didn't think I'd like a ROM without sense, but now find myself really liking the vanilla Android experience.
So if you like the phone, I wouldn't return it based on what it's officially not getting. The wonderful thing is that there are options.
I did it. Still has some bugs though, but I'm loving it GratiousSlide in the dev section.

There are plenty...
Here is one that is the latest Asian Gratia froyo leak one I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062149&highlight=football but still running FRF91 2.2.1

[Q] HTC Wildfire S

I have just seen some wildfire s movies and the point is:
it's runneing gingerbread and it has a flip clock.
My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire.
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours.
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread.
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
I hope someone really know something about it.

It is not nearly the same. It is totally different. And, to get the new Sense, the code has to be released by HTC. Till that, there wont be a GB Sense Enabled ROM for the Wildfire.
Also, I am pretty sure with the release of the S, HTC will not conveniently forget the original Wildfire and probably not release any updates for it. Its basically an EOL Product now. Its the way the industry works.
After some monthes on the market every mobile phone is EOL. You are right!

If you really want gingerbread on wildfire, you can try Cyanogen 7. There is no htc sense with cyanogen though.
Just for the new sense

Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours. -HVGA vs QVGA.... lots of resizing and xml, program modifying. And devs are not really interested
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread. - Not really with a spray of impossible
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
-I have not seen Sense 3.0 on a QVGA device, so low porting chances.

Hello people,
I'm using cm 7 right now.
This is a question to alex, I think that you know more about it.
So is it possible to port htc sense to cm7.
And so yes:How can I do it on my own.
So please answer.
edit ment normal sense.
It is possible to get the Gingerbread update but no way it would get the new Sense.

Simply because HTC apps require a framework that AOSP ROMS do not have as it is power consuming and is slow.

As djdevine2 stated above, porting Sense would be very hard or even impossible. Sense is like a bug that crawls really deep inside the Android OS. Eliminating is it hard, I imagine introducing it would be also very, very hard.
And not to mention the possible Legal issues that could appear
maybe there is hope
It has also been rumored that the HTC Wildfire will receive the recently released 2.3 Gingerbread update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire
This is just a rumor, but there is still hope.
Doesn't look so. If you look at the citation on that particular line, and, read that thread in another forum, there is nothing there to state that HTC has said anything about 2.3 on Wildfire. It is simply a speculative thread, and, points to CM7 for 2.3 on Wildfire.
"You can have your doubts about when your phone maker will finally get around to delivering an Android 2.3 update (March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson), but the smartphone dev community doesn't work that slowly. The guys who build custom ROMs just for the sheer pride of it have already begun work on delivering Gingerbread to owners of HTC's EVO 4G, Droid Eris, and Wildfire."

Possible to port sense 4 from HTC Desire VT

I was hoping someone could answer a question I have about the possibility of porting from the Desire VT. Both share the same Adreno 200 GPU and also share other similiar traits like being the same pixel size. From older posts I remember people saying it would be more easy to port from one phone to another if the GPU was the same and if the size was similiar so it wouldn't need to be resized. If this is indeed true wouldn't the Desire VT make the best choice to have a working port of sense 4 to our HD2? If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Below are some specs of the two devices. Thanks in advance.

Its not the graphics, or the pixel size. We had working acceleration, from what i have heard its Chipset drivers that are the issue so sound and other things will be impossible to port. but i dont know much on the VT to say much about porting from *that* phone
EDIT-
Actually this will have had the same issues in porting if not more. I am 100% sure unless we have gods for devs that can create libs from nothing
Yeah I recall that not having any libs was the issue the developers was running into. I only thought that since they share the same Adreno 200 GPU that maybe it could allow for a 'slightly' easier port. Also I seen a post here on XDA somewhere and if I remember it correctly a developer "claimed" to have sense 4.0 fully working but was to busy to post further details and said they would after their current project was over. Yes I know it seemed like b.s. but I was still holding onto a bit if hope. lol.
Team Blackouts was the only one that wound up booting, there was another working on it but couldnt boot it up, the phone i believe off the top of my head was the One V which also shares the Adreno 200 or similar specs but yea its all in the Chipset as to where we would get on sense 4.x
Yes I had followed both threads very close. Actually the HTC One V has Adreno 205. Unfortunately for us the QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset thats on the HD2 seems to not been used in quite some time. Plus the HTC Desire as well as the Nexus One, both of which are very closely related to our phone have stopped receiving updates. UHGG!! It was wishful thinking anyway.
I'll just need to cave in and try to get a HTC Desire X. Since its going to be a rather budget friendly phone it looks as though this is my best option to have sense 4. I hope they release it in the states as well though.
i started working on it today...
give me some time to look at it.....:highfive:
edit: this is adreno 200 ,this good
In desire vt thread is written "also included are Device specific files for BravoC, Leo & Passion"

Could you send me the link to the Desire VT thread? I couldn't seem to find one for it. As someone already answered the HTC HD2 is in fact also called the HTC Leo.

Thanks but I was thinking the Desire VT had its own thread. This is a link to the Desire thread with a port of the Desire VT ROM. Its actually what I came across that made me think it would be possible for our phones to work too. Then when I looked at the specs I thought it might of been our best shot at a working sense 4.0 ROM.
So if i install the desire vt zip it will work, or not?
It will not. mwakious said that they will look into it so please be patient since this can take quite a while to do. When porting a ROM there are
several files that needs to be replaced. Even then there can be many things that could cause it to not boot correctly. Check back in a few days.

im only asking 'if' as it seem'd to no update
In all honesty Its not likely it will work for our HD2 but I was thinking since the GPU was the same it might be a little easier for a developer to give it a go. Easier still suggests
its going to be a pretty big undertaking so please be patient. Even if it doesn't work out I think people should still thank mwakious for the time he's looked into it for us.
