i have tried and failed...how about a touchwiz port?
I tried to port touchwiz but as a learning dev, i was unsuccessful. I can send you the port. (it gets an audio-souce error according to logcat)
I also am trying to port a Modaco Rom...this one gets up to the boot animation but just keeps looping a second into the animation (unfortunatly my computer is acting funny so i cant check the logcat )
If you want either of the files...let me know (the Modaco port is posted in the dev section)

the only reason i like touchwiz is because its blazing fast...i used to be able to get 2200 on quadrant (with no overclock) on the odexed 2.1 rom (the shipped rom)
Then again...i am comparing a dog and a cat...
but either way..let me know about the files and i will pm them over

They say the same about Sense, but yet the Nexus S has a Sense port.

Touch Wiz 4.0 would be awesome, but I highly doubt it's even possible.
I love TW becuase it has video codecs so that I can easily play all of my video and movie files with out using a 3rd party app.... Don't know why Google can't add those codecs into AOSP.

Pyromod rom from the g2... just look at the video and tell me that's not fast.. and without oc at that
* I'm just sayin......

Only one name: MIUI demonspeed. The 4g has no reported issues and every Friday is a new update. Many theme combinations and customizations.

Not even touching TouchWiz .. I was thinking of Pyromod but they're too tightly controlled, I have to get lots of approval before I can even port it..

I have a thread over in general with ROM wants. currently the most wanted is a Dell Streak port.

MIUI Rom for Fascinate?

Any chance we could see this ported to the fascinate?
Yes we will, it will be based off of Zenulator's build if I get his permission to do so. Just got to wait until 2.2 becomes available.
Then will try to tackle the HTC Ace build afterwards with help from Jamezelle but that will probably take awhile, dont know how Sense will function with the Samsung hardware as opposed to the Omap that Droid has based on Jamezelle's work.

MIUI will be pretty straightfoward, not any hardware integration like Sense is so its mainly pushing the framework over with a couple modifications. The main issue has been the language locale but they have fixed and patched that already.
Sense will take forever, probably will never get completed all the way unless a custom RIL is finished, everything else takes time.

Glad to hear it! I'd port it myself if I had the skills sadly my skills end at adb and flashing ROMs I'll be more then happy to donate though once it comes about it's the least I can do.
MIUI FTW! Glad to hear that's getting worked on and really could care less about Sense otherwise I would've bought an Incredible. Thanks for the work though! Mucho appreciated!
Saw the video on this. Looks incredible, I would love to get my hands on it.

I completely agree! I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with Sense yet doesn't buy HTC devices. Then asks devs to do the impossible I mean we all know how well porting it to the Droid went. I'm extremely excited to see all of the custom ROMS that the devs are going to come out with!
Incredible owner here.
Ive started following the fascinate section because my wife will be getting one soon and i cant wait to get my grubby hands on it. I love MIUI on my phone and would really like to put it on hers. Hope it gets done! Good luck Devs!!
I put MIUI on my spare Droid 1. There are some cool things about it with most of the cool features residing in the stock launcher. Therein lies the problem. The MIUI launcher is laggy even when I'm overclocked to 1.25ghz.
Now I'm not saying my fascinate can't handle it better with the hummingbird and extra ram BUT I will say there will need to be some optimization first. If I have to use launcher pro plus to get a smooth launcher with MIUI, I will pass.

My friend has been running MIUI for days and hasn't had any issues with the ROM itself as far as bugs go, he's also seeing significant gains in battery life. His phones been unplugged for 24hrs with 60% of battery left with pretty decent usage. Are you running the latest version?
where can i get this and try it
Jamezelle tweeted he has miui booted on fascinate still buggy though.

MIUI < CM6... Kaos is doing CM6/CM7 already . End. The only thing cool about the miui rom for other phones is the pulldown toggles. CM like i said before, copied that a few weeks after the miui rom came out on the nexus one, then we had the toggles on CM so i went back. Miui rom has an option to turn down your cpu clock speed as a toggle, but i use setcpu to do that when i know im not going to use the phone like that i turn it down to 600, but i need 1.2 ghz kernel for there to be a 600 so right now i just use 800 all the time unless im gaming ... no reason to use the extra 200 mhz ... it just eats battery faster. and these kernels aren't oc'd and uv'd on froyo... so until then... 800/200 runs sweeeeet. keeps that 100 (where i get no signal) off my charts
MIUI is a more user friendly interface so some people may like it.

It's really just a Sense based ROM, with an AOSP launcher. Has a bunch of stuff removed, like the Rosie.apk, etc, but when you actually go to add widgets on the default launcher, none of the sense Widgets are actually there.
Anyone try version 4 which supposedly includes the HTC Camera app?

yes because having sense widgets is impossible without the full sense rom frameworks etc.

well if there were sources to the sense apk/ frameworks or the overall sense roms from htc, then maybe it would be possible, but as we all know that is closed source. so a rewrite to make them work is not very likely to work.
btw glad you'r waiting for the liquid_metal rom, you wont be disappointed.

One thing you have to keep in mind, is that it's not sense 3.0 that was taking up all the space, but instead it was the 3d apks, such as the fusions which alone was taking up 49mb, yes granted be those apks play a big role in the new sense, but would the be required for our phone, probably not.

That fusion.apk affects the lock screen, the 3D clock widget, just to name a few so I would say its pretty important.

If you lose the weather animations you pick up 60mb. I would gladly do without them to have most of the rest of sense 3.0

Highly unlikely.
I doubt it, you need at least sense 2.1 for those 3.0 elements to work. EVO is still on sense 1.0.
Lmao.
I love these forums man.
Everybody (for some silly reason) complains about how the newest OTA only has Sense 1.0 and how "disappointed" they are with the update.
Then we get information that MIGHT mean some kind of sense update and everyone just refers to an aftermarket ROM...
Silly.
i think there will be no more updates for the evo.

the update sucks in comparison to the current aosp 2.3.4 builds we already had.
i'm still puzzled as to why it was only sense 1.0 when the shift for a full 2.1 leak .
yea it's to get people to upgrade ... still lame
and i have to ROFLMAO at the "i think there will be no more updates for the evo"
i understand the e3D will released soon but i really don't thing sprint will abandon the evo it's still selling to well

Ideas for roms??????

Anyone got any ideas for roms? Not ics.
Anything specific? I'm going to make one, but I need ideas
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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?

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 ?
