[Q] Android Froyo with HTC Sense

Hello,
HTC announced that they'll release froyo with HTC sense for the HTC Wildfire. When and IF they do that.. could we port it to Hero? It's basically the same device. Only thing that changes is the screen.

And the resolution is a very difficult thing to fix. You have to edit every graphic to fit and tonnes of other things. Just wait and one of the dev's will find the best rom for it (probably before it is even announced).

I think the dev's are waiting for a Legend 2.2 ROM, since it has the same resolution as the Hero. The processor is slightly different though I believe.

HTC's official legend froyo images etc. + HTC's official wildfire Procesor drivers etc. for Froyo = almost perfect Hero ROM
i hope i got my maths right there

Heh. I asked HTC why they are developing a rom for Wildfire and not for Hero. Still waiting for their answer.

Isn't the wildfire still an ARMv7 chip ie. Cortex?
Or am I just getting confused with things?

wildfire uses the same chip as the hero.
it has more ram though.

Is there any chance we could port the new 2.1 Sense UI that Wildfire uses to Hero? The new HTC Dialer and stuff.

I don't think so since the Wildfire has a lower resolution so it would be difficult. Maybe it will be included in the Legend's Froyo ROM?

Maybe it will. Can't wait for a Sense Froyo Rom.

Agreed. I'd love Froyo with Sense on my Hero

whats stopping the devs from doing it cant you just change the fw images add com.htc.recources.apk and rosie.apk and all other htc things and libs etc???? ima try tht actualy

Hmmm. I thought the libs for it were incompatible?

Sense with froyo for Hero
Hi all,
But i have one idea : Is it possible to take sense from the official HTC 2.1 Rom and to put it on Froydvillain ?
What do you think about that ?

[Q] Desire Camera App for Oxygen RC7

I'm looking the htc camera app for oxygen/gingerbread. But the 2.2 port for CM,EM don't work.

You wont see it until a 2.3 sense rom is available. It'd be way too much work.

in this rom camera is working but only in mms and low quality

Question is if there is any official 2.3 at all...the mobile isn't the newest one ^^

they have pretty much said there will be an official gingerbread for desire... HOWEVER, our phone unfortunately wont be on the top of the priority list, as you said, because its relatively "older" incomparison.. plus.. add to the delay the fact it has to filter down to our providers so they can make THIER changes, and then it will be officially released..
To OP: So in short... not anytime soon.. Try out CM7 Nightlies.. they are damn stable and you can really replicate most of sense with a custom launcher (LPPro has great replacements to most of the sense widgets)

[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

I know but I want the new sense xD

Its more like the aria or gratia (what is the point of that - considering the wildfire s is better) or legend or salsa than the wildfire (they are all the same phone in a different box with a different rom)

CM 7
I'm using cm 7 right now.
It is very nice, but I've send a mail to HTC.
Hope they will answer.
I really like gingerbread, but I just want the new sense ( without buying a newer phone ).
So if I got mail about it.
Will you see it on this topic

My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire. -No, not the same hardware
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.
I hope someone really know something about it.

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.

No it's not possible to port anything HTC to an AOSP ROM, there is a theme though which makes it look like HTC Sense!

why not

Why not.
I mean can not one app ported to a aosp rom?

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

Sadly the HTC framework is not compatible with AOSP ROMS at the ROMS have to support it. Your english is fine, don't worry!

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."

Do you know that camera doesnt work on 2.2 sense roms?

fast, stable and fully functional? the answer is : there are no fully functional 2.2 Sense Roms for Hero because Sense is not an open source project so no camera drivers. But if u don't care about some bugs and the camera not working, u can try ChocolateFroyo v1.0-rel2

There hopefully will be soon

HTC HERO
I realise that I have been relatively silent on this front, but in order to keep you all in the picture, I’ll explain the situation. Before the above happened in my life, I was working on a Gingerbread ROM, loosely based on CM7 sources. Unfortunately, I do not have time to finish this work.
As a result, I am posting the Hero to RaiderX today, who you may or may not remember from the Hero Dev scene a whole year ago. Raider is a fantastic developer, and is part of the VillainROM team. He will be working on completing the Gingerbread ROM, and I understand he has plans to get Sense UI and Froyo fully working for the handset. Woop, woop – I hear you say.

As you say : Woop, woop! it sounds gooooooooooooooooooood

I thought we will never see working camera in 2.2 sense but now I see some light in the end tunnel

Thanks - it sounds promising -is there a link to the developed ROM

our measly x8 can not support sense 3.5 sorry but i am looking at either porting the aria because thatsd the closest i can find to our hardware or one ov the great roms i used to use on my old wildfire that is the wildpuzzle rom its great sexy nice and just very smooth rom but no sorry sense 3.5 is not ever going to be possible for our phones

Maan! It would be great, if you'll build fully functional Sense ROM. I've already have last Sense from racht, and it's great even the Wifi, 3G and others is not working.
I'll donate if it will be working, cuz I really love Sense. My next phone will be HTC for sure.
Can you get some closest info about your's ROM? 2.1 or 2.2? Maybe 2.3? Sense version?
