Sgs family relations - Epic 4G General

So its common knowledge that the epic is almost like the milk mans baby, because it is so different from the others. How is it different though and what is the closest to it to the furthest. I'm wondering because with cyanogen development, when one comes out how will they port it to the epic if it is so different. Also with the nexus with 2.3, is it a sgs phone? I heard that is simular to the epic some how.

not so much different but radio chip and gps is different

so essentially they are not all that different then?

Aside frm the keyboard and what's stated above not all that differant. One big differance is cdma (sprint,verizon) vs GSM (tmobile, at&t). So porting gsm roms to cdma is not that easy or vice versa. Cyonogen rom is being ported by noobnl(dev) so in time we wil have it. Also the epic stock has touchwiz 2.5 vs 3.0 for everyone else. Reason being touchwiz 3.0 was not optimized for landscape view. Custom roms wil get you TW 3.0 and froyo though. Performance wise shouldn't really see a differance at all.

Just saw this too. Awesome. A lot of people, including myself, have posted that we hoped it would be an easy port. I dont think any of us thought it would be THIS quick of a port.
Now that cyanogen looks to be almost beta ready, some decisions to make.... gingerbread or cyanogen on 2.2.

i wonder if theyd be able to get 4g to work though, being that i think theyre only making gsm nexus s'.
i heard cyanogens team has 4g working now on the evo.
How hard will it be for the 2.3 aosp from the nexus s to be ported over to the epic? The obstacles I can see delaying the port are 4G, cdma, and the keyboard. Hopefully these factors won't effect the development for too long.

Lol I don't believe that is gingerbread. I highly doubt they would have got the radios working if they did port it over.. all that is, is the theme, startup & shutdown animation, and gingerbread launcher (can get in the market I believe) theme and start up can be found over in the theme & app section

Espresso ROM Finally Coming To The Fascinate

I've made Espresso ROM For The Droid X. And Will Now Finally Get It To The Fascinate. My Plan Was To Get It To All The Galaxy S Varients, Nexus One, Samsung Nexus S, Samsung Droid Charge, HTC My Touch 4G, HTC Droid Incredible, Wildfire, HTC Hero, Original HTC Desire, HTC G2 (Desire Z) And Aria.
When Will Espresso ROM Be Released?
Later This Week.

Umm..so far all the Gingerbread roms that are out are still having some issues...low in- call volume, no hardware acceleration(videos), no flashlight...etc...and aren't quite fully functional as Froyo is just yet..which is perfectly understandable...
I was just wondering if your up coming rom will still have those issues....or if you are going to blow our minds with a fully functional Gingerbread rom for the Fasciante...

Completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, if the devs don't have a full, stable source drop to work with, we really can't hold the current crop of common /generally recognized GB issues against them. Heck, they're probably more frustrated about it than the rest of us
OP, I look forward to the upcoming release and maturation of your project!
Another option would be terrific, but good luck with the SD card!

My point is that no legit devs post coming soon ****...they work on something then release it...hype is just lame and time after time these threads end in disappointment or the rom just doesn't offer anything worth a hype thread

I do know one of my roms will have 2.4 Ice Cream when google releases the SDK. But most are AOSP coupled with Touchwiz. They will also come with my version of The JIT Compiler. They will also come with my version of build.prop tweaks. And more.

Sense 3.5
Bliss base
Runny nav bar
No bloat
Runs perfect without swap
Or maybe u wanna port Android evolution or Runnymede desire rom by sebastian15? The latter is a great rom
Yeah, the DZ community has a love/hate relationship with 3.5 sense rom, so a one running smoothly without swap, no bloat, nicely themed (easy on the eyes ), is a way to go.
There are alot of sense 3.5 roms for the DZ. I've tried them all (literally), so far the Bliss sense and the NRG 3.5 sense roms are good, other I had trouble with (laggy, slow, crashes...).
MIUI, seen one seen them all, although popular you will be just one in a bucket of full pretty good and functional MIUI roms.
Stock g2 or AOSP also, there are alot of them for the DZ, there has to be yet an AOSP that can beat the awesome CM 7 rom.
If you make it really try hard to stand out, cause it will be burred soon under the mentioned ones.
You could try porting a weird obscure ROM that nobody has really seen much of. I remember using a ROM by SiulMagic called LiquidM_Villain, its basically an Acer modified version of Froyo. I used it for a few weeks before leaving because I missed Gingerbread, but it was quite a neat ROM. Theres a Gingerbread version around now that could be ported? Or maybe theres another modified version of Android that nobody really sees much of?

Honeycomb?
I noticed the HC SDK 3.0 uses the GB launcher so...
Some other folks built and compiled HC for their phones too, off the SDK I believe.

Honeycomb is a bad idea when we have ICS being ported at the moment (which if you check the dev page, there's a thread with an almost complete port) since honeycomb was designed purely for tablets and is not meant for phones. A LOT of quite possibly pointless work would have to go in it.
take any existing ROM - figure out how to make it have even better reception in weak signal areas - and you will be a STAR on XDA!!
and start with the ROM that is the fastest, leanest, and has the best battery life and most free RAM of any ROM.........yes I am talking about G-Lite 2.0.1
My idea is the latest stock rom with nice tweaks and addons but that's just an idea... And maybe nobody likes it

The ICS rom on Desire Z is out ? or it's still the alpha version ?

Any devs/porters interested in porting sense?

Hi. I am a rom porter/dev (depending on the definition you use) who just got a galaxy tab 10.1. Considering that our hardware is similar, I think it'd be in the best interests for galaxy tab 10.1 owners along with other tegra2 tablet owners could work together to port sense. I hope this is not against forum rules posting here, but I posted this so we can all help each other out to get sense ported.
Thank you

I just don't understand why everyone loves sense. At best, it is a battery and performance vampire. Sure, it has some neat features, but... every time I end up with an HTC device, the first thing I do is install a non-sense rom.
To each his own, though. Good luck.

To answer your question its is a very hard a daunting task.
Best way to get your device as close as sense would be flashing a galaxy tab rom port by fguy(my current rom) its under tabletroms Acer forum. And use apw Widgets. With adw ex or SPB shell
Or you can use Thors galaxy tab port at tegra owners Acer rom's forum user pimpmaneaton has ported a HTC sense theme from boosted for that rom and use apw Widgets to complete your desired look!
HTC is battery hungry and a pain in the ass or impossible so no one wants to port it plus user base won't use it as much compared to asop or stock Acer based rom's.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I would be really interested in having a full Sense themed ROM. I have a HTC Desire Z at the moment and had an HTC Hero before that. I absolutely love HTC's implementation of Sense and how things work so well. Really don't mind the extra battery use because you really can't get that kind of integration and ease of use for nothing.
Good luck finding anyone who wants to reverse engineer the closed source sense framework and then try and get it to work on our hardware.
The only successful sense ports have in the past been HTC to HTC devices such as the desire ROM to nexus one, or sensation to desire etc. It's a bit different porting sense to a device which already runs sense. The nexus one was really just a desire running aosp Android.

No. ROMs are device-specific. Unless you were trying to say something else?
That's like a slap in the face the design gets it but not the og evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
All slapping aside, the significance of this for OG Evo users has more to do with custom ROM development: an official build for the Evo 3D could provide a much easier way to make an *unofficial* ICS Sense ROM - I'm assuming the 3D is more similar to the OG than the "primo" (or whatever gave us the base for the PrimOG effort)..

From a specification perspective, the Primo is much closer than the 3D to the OG, besides already being the correct resolution. That's why it's being used for the porting effort.
We've had an unofficial 3D build floating around here for quite a while already.

They aren't. The Design 4G (like the 3D) has a 2nd Gen Snapdragon, and a qHD screen, along with more RAM. So both devices can handle a lot more than our now ancient 1st Gen CPU.

Primog? If that's what you meant, then yes the dev has just been busy with life. If you're talking about this thread, then no port is going on here. Plus sense 3.6 is fatter than sense 4.0, as HTC's objective was to make 4.0 light and not bloated like previous versions of sense
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Well said, bennyboy. No port here. The only ICS Sense port I know of is PrimOG, and it has a much better shot at success than a port from a dual-core, different resolution, higher RAM device.
