Is it possible to port Froyo From HTC Wildfire to HTC Legend, since they have similar hardware structure?? Yesterday leaked RUU Froyo rom from Wildfire, and today is rooted and everything, so I'm postin here the link to rooted version, and I hope that this maybe help devs to port froyo rom with htc sens to legend, since many users are waiting to such rom .

Froyo is allready ported on Legend ...

Possible? Yes.
Worth-while? I don't think so.
With old Legend's kernel it could work but with Wildfire's new one I doubt. Processor is different, touch-screen too (resolution).
Grafx porting is trivial but would be painfully long-lasting...
Will take a quick look at it...
I dn't see the interest to port the HTC Wildfire Rom to legend ?! ...

Ohw thanks for blessing me with that... I've been using Azure for mor than a month so it is not new to me. But some people really prefer Sense, I'm not one of them, I've just pointed out that there maybe is a possibility of porting it to legend, since HTC update service is very useless to legend.
@Blayo
Ohw I see now that resolution really is different, I wasn't paying attention on that .
hummm Sorry I misunderstood =)
I think that´s a great idea.
I am using now Azure 1.0.1 and work´s really fast but i prefer sense.
I have ported it.. 1. Problem: need to fix touchpad to get it working.. booting is fine.. 2. Need to see if resolution can be fixed..

Great I'm sure some dev could help you with this problems. Maybe you can get some helpfull stuff out of Azure rom, sinced it is based on froyo, or ask Ali Ba for some advice. Good luck fixing it!

So far so good! Is it confirmed if the ROM has JIT and all other Froyo goodness enabled?
Great new.
Can´t wait to test it.
Thanks whitetigerdk!!!

About resoultion, I guess changing LCD density in build.prop wouldn't help? Default value for legend is 160.

Only what the thread for Wildfire says.. about the port it can't be tested since the touchpad doesn't work..

I'm pretty sure the touchscreen will never work, as you have to apply patches to the source code before it is compiled for it to work on the legend :/
Grab a Legend's 2.6.29 kernel from your 2.03.405.3 ROM. You have nothing to loose.
Android powah!

Someone with the knowledge should add the kyosa touchscreen patches to get this working. Would be great.
If a rom leaked to the wildfire I hope they will leak one for the legend too. Would be a treat.
The wildfire has already came out with froyo in china,then the RUU leaked. There is no official froyo rom from htc, so it is hard to believe it will leaked.

hi......i have xperia x8 with android 2.1...............n want to upgade the version to any newer version like 2.2 or 2.3.
so plz tell me the metod of upgrading it.
Read the stickies!
Go to youtube and search "how to root X8" and look for the vid by TECHNEWSWEEKLY. The vid i mentioned above is the 1st step in upgrading your phone. From then on, search "how to install xRecovery on X8" from the same dude. Lastly, from the same guy, search on how to install Froyo ( 2.2.1) or Gingerbread (2.3.5) and you're good to go thats how i did it. Its all in easy-to-follow steps !

Yeah I know, I was trying to flash my cell to upgrade the baseban to x15, but I saw that dual touch by andyx works better in versions greater than 2.1, I was just going to rely on the partition of my SD card cause Im using Link2SD and a bunch of blablabla things xD.

Won't work because of kernel incompatibility. What ROM is it you want to flash?

But most of mt4g's hardware spec close to dhd. And so far i know ics creamed glacier use lordchan kernel which is dhd's kernel and it still boot but the wifi fail.

The ROM won't boot, but if you don't believe me, try flashing it and see for yourself. If DHD ROMs were compatible with the MT4G, there would be a whole lot of happy MT4G owners running those ROMs. There's a reason DHD ROMs have to be ported specifically for the MT4G (see RCMix Sense 3.5, for example).

Oh thanks buddy. I will port it then. Do you know which specific files need to replace in dhd rom? Since the spec is close i think its not necessary to replace all system/etc, bin, lib, etc

I don't personally, no, but someone will see this and let you know. As far as I know, it's relatively easy because of how similar to two devices are.

yes i'm using it. but the important thing is which files to replace and keep. i have read tutorial about porting sense to other sense device but it's too general. i think it doesn't need to replace all driver or libs because MT4G and dhd is identical in hardware.
any idea which files to replace? i have extract beatmod bliss sense (which is multi device rom) to find out the specific files for MT4G. but when i replace the files (and some rename from spade to glacier) with files in beatmod i got bootloop.

Well you need to get a MT4G compatible kernel first... that requires a Linux system to decompile the boot.img. then you need, of course, to edit the build.prop so that the device says Glacier instead of DHD...
Also, you can't use beat mod bliss sense files on flydom ROM because they are two different ROMs. One is Sense 3.5, the other is Sense 3.0...
Hope this helps
Also, please ask the dev (zfreak) before porting. Who knows? He might be able to help you out.

No, because like i said before, you need to change the kernel. And to do that requires a Linux machine...
Beat mod bliss sense ROM is Sense 3.5. This one is Sense 3.0.

alright, dsixda's kitchen has a feature to edit the boot.img,i'll search for the tutorial.
i thought difference between sense 3.5 and 3.0 only in app, framework, and some libs. i dont think that for fundamental files like drivers also different. so i use beatmod.
To port a rom from dhd you need to replace boot.img the wifi module a couple camera libs and the key layout and keychars in /system/usr I'm sure there's something else but can't remember off the top of my head

if you download that do you mind to share it to me the lib, etc, bin, build.prob, and boot.img? it will make the files smaller to download rather than the 500MB ROM.

I have already posted something like this but i want to take another shot!!!
please dont complain...OR say "YET ANOTHER THREAD"
Backgroud:
As we all know x10 mini,x10 mini pro, and x8 are close brothers(or sisters you might consider ,well whatever)except ldpi,mdpi stuff (thats not a problem)
arm v6,etc,etc you know(im not in mood to find similarities,im getting late for my class coz of writing this thread)
well they have kernel 2.6.32 and we are stuck at 2.6.29
we can port it or whatever like use se x10 mini pro kernel sources...it wont be much problem....well they have real multitouch i know....BUT it should be ok
It might be simpler than porting cm kernel(well i tried it once...idiot me)
All Im asking that we need a team,kernel development cant be done by single one. We need a team that know SOMETHING(im not asking for proffesionals,even im a rookie)
Im in.What ya say guyz??
If you intersted then only post ...
Thank you.
Rahat
ask nobodyAtall , he is online now
I dont know whether devs will come up,we should atleast try on our own...just give it a try.there is nothing wrong in that...i think even baseband version is same(may be wrong)
Cmon guyz!!!
Yes,we need this indeed.

No you don't *need* this. It would be good for the way forward but it's not a requirement without which you can use ICS or anything.
I think a more practical question is what feature is really missed from newer kernel that is worth investing the time in order to get them ported? I don't see any right now besides the ability to actually upgrade.
Technically it's feasible but there is a lot of SEMC code that will need to be ported in order to have the phone boot. Not to mention having it work properly...
Remember that when SEMC started porting .29 for their devices, not so many things were done the standard way for android (like it is now) and also their experience was nil. Things have improved on their .35 release.
how about porting htc kernel from htc explorer ?

If it would be easy nAa or the others will do it. But we dont need it as nAa said.

Whick kernel are you using? If stock, you may have to do a full wipe and reinstall (redownload if necessary). If you're on custom kernel, you may have to install the addons too. Head to gdx thread for details.
