Droid Incredible froyo port?

Is their any way to port 2.2 froyo to the droid incredible? I know they did it for the evo so i wonder if they can do it for the incredible.

Somebody will, just have to give it some time. Odds are the 2.1 roms will be more stable and functional for a little while until they get the kinks out of froyo.

Outdated phone has Froyo
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/first-froyo-build-for-the-vogue-hits-the-forum/
wow an outdated old phone has froyo ported and mostly working before a fairly new high visibility phone does. I think I will have to dust my old 6900 off and install froyo on it.

I just flashed Froyo on my VX6900. I like my Incredible but I really miss the Vogue community especially the Android Devs. DZO is a genious and guys like Incubus26 and Myn among many others are amazing too. The crank out updates like its their job.
Froyo is running very nicely on my Vogue. I wish this phone had WiFi. If it did I'd use it as a PMP and browser.

Is myTouch Slide Dead?

Guys, i might not be a active poster in this forum, but i am an active reader [100+ hits per day minimum]. Being a n00b in android developement, it might sound kinda funny. But WHAT ARE THE DEVS DOING! HAVE THEY MOVED TO ANOTHER DEVICE? I dont think its already time for the myTouch slide to be outdated. It has a 600 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and other specs that are not outdated yet. Companies are still releasing phones having less specs than this. I see other phone's forums full of roms, kernels and other stuff. But i have been watching myTouch slide developement forum from few days, but there have been no posts at all, not even a clue of what the developers are doing. I didn't mean to be rude, but just wanted to say that MYTOUCH SLIDE IS NOT DEAD YET! And i want to thanks all the devs for all the ROMS and mods for mytouch. I appreciate your work eugene_373, wesgarner , kingofyo1 etc. [dont mind if i didnt include your name....this goes to all the devs]. Guys i appreciate your work, but we should not let the mytouch slide to die.
P.S. i am willing to offer some disk space from my vps for android community. If any devs want to host their roms or other stuff there, please contact me.
Cheers !

By no means is it dead.

Dragons lie still in deathlike slumber until awakened to unleash their powerful presence upon the world of mortals yet again...aka no the slide isn't dead . Development has slowed a bit but that's mainly because there are a few key ROMs out that are being focused on. I'd rather have a selection of 3 or 4 good ROMs than dozens of crappy ones wouldn't you?
Edit: You might also want to change the title to "Is the myTouch Slide dead?" so people don't come here expecting to flame and mods don't move it without reading.

yea true...it is better to have few good roms than many bad....but it is even getting difficult to find few good roms, the only good one i have found is cyanogenmod. I will try ararays once it comes out.i hope it is great.

The MTS is pretty much dead outside of CM6 development, T-Mobile pretty much abandoned their Espresso 2.2 plans and not a whole lot of people purchased the Slide. Most who did traded it away for the HD2 or Vibrant.

What makes you say that? They never set a date to when they would release it... We really dont need anything from official froyo, besides wifi calling

thanks for the reply r0man, but in my view it is not dead yet, but i think that some developers are dead [no offence]. and arayray, can i give a suggestion for your new mod, i got the beta build somehow, everything is perfect [i think it is almost as stable as cyanogenmod]. But i think it lacks flash player. I know that every rom out there lacks it. But i have found a way to add the flash player in stock rom. Yes, but only thing needed is that we need to be able to use the sense's browser in our roms. then i have a flash apk file that is supported by the sense browser. a long time ago i had found a rom somewhere in the wild with a sense browser in stock android, and i tried the apk there, and it worked perfectly. please reply so that we can talk about this. i will be more than happy to help. and i can provide you the flash file. and i think the boot animation is a bit laggy. can you please fix it? everything else is AWESOME~!

Dude you got a good point there,I would also want to thank the devs for there hard work as well.

The myTouch 3G Slide software (Espresso) framework was completely ready for deployment in March of 2009. The fact that the device took yet another entire year to be released tells me that it is the red-headed step-child of T-Mobile and SHOULD have come out in 2009, NOT mid-2010. They will not release Froyo - all of you optimistic thinkers will continue to deny this and hope for the best, but the reality is that it was a failed device before it was even released.

lol man you reply like you have been working on tmobile as a developer for years.....how did u know that it was going to be released in 2009? and keep one thing in mind.... MYTOUCH IS NOT DEAD AT ALL!

Look at the cliq, yes they were promised 2.1 almost a year before they got it but they got it... Honestly how do you know their done with the update.

T-Mo announced a month or 2 ago that the Froyo2Slide OTA will be out in December. I'm guessing next week.

It can't be dead if roms are still being developed on it.
daniel, arayray, joker, others (you know who you are).....
are doing the same thing as other devs are doing on other phones.
And it's definitely much more alive than it was a couple months ago.
Froyo/Sense hybrid + some cool features...... = definitely not dead.
A big thanks to the devs/modders.

Until CM other Modders/Devs dont produce any roms then its dead. How would you consider this phone dead when you have CM support and a nightly everyday or so. This phone isnt dead

Not saying it absolutely won't happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.

The development for the Slide is much much slower yes, and I am definitely not a fan of the lack of kernel development for this phone. Most of the sense roms look and feel the same, in my opinion. None of the froyo sense ports work too well, most of them either kb lights or wifi is broken. The eclair ports are pretty good, but I still prefer cr_mod. Cm6 is fairly active, but honestly, it's kind of a boring ROM. It's great and fast, but when I had my g1 I loved more the ROMs that were cm roms, plus awesome theming and the devs own twists and performance tweaks. Why don't we have more of that? We have some themed cm6 roms from miguel and one other I am blanking out on, but they are based off of nightlies, most from october or earlier, before many issues were fixed or improvements made.
Honestly, it'd be cooler to have more than just cyanogenmod and sense roms, which is why I'm excited for arayraymod, but where I'd really like to see a development boost is in the kernel area. I'm stable to 844mhz, pretty good. But our kernel from dumfuq lacks things like the brainfuck scheduler, I think it's called at least, and of course, smartass cpu governor. If we see anything I would like to see smartass incorporated. At least an undervolt?
I know, I'm digressing, this isn't a request thread by any means. The Slide isn't dead I don't think but sometimes I can't help but compare our forums to pretty much any other android phone and see how our development is depressingly slow. At least it isn't totally dead yet. If that tmo froyo ota really does come out then it may give a needed boost, hopefully at least.

The thread starts off as your typical useless thread, but the more you read, the more possible it is that Froyo will be released. There are some independent accounts of what HTC and/or T-Mo said, but I'll say this now: if it doesn't come out by the end of December then it aint ever coming out.
I still think my previous statements about the Slide being heavily delayed and otherwise a failure (to T-Mo), are true. We'll see if T-Mo wants to hold up their end of the bargain on Froyo, however.

I think I'm up for a full upgrade in the next couple months. Come March, I'm planning on selling the Slide and getting something more top-of-the-line. I originally went with this phone because of the keyboard, but after having Swype and SwiftKey for a while, there's just no need. We got my wife a 4G yesterday and it's pretty sexy.

A .32+ kernel would be nice as well.

Flash: You are using the Flash Lite plugin that came with stock Espresso, most likely, as Flash 10.1 with hardware acceleration requires an ARMv7 processor where the Slide possesses an ARMv6.
Bootanimation: Change the speed in desc.txt.

Well, Motorola had already done the majority of the work involved in porting 2.1 to the Cliq before T-Mobile started dropping high-end phones. It would've be cost ineffective of them to just drop the project all together. I will bet you almost anything that the Cliq will not receive an official 2.2 OTA (even though there are some alpha unofficial ports).

I'll believe it when I see it. I love T-Mobile, but they are absolutely horrible at sending out major OTA updates in a timely manner.
Cliq: Almost a year
Slide: Nope
G2: N/A
Mytouch 4G: N/A
Mytouch 3G: Over a year
G1: Nope
Vibrant: Nope (the latest leak is probably the final build, though)
Mytouch 3G 3mm/Fender: Nope (last I heard, at least)

Agreed.
I'm not trying to dash anyones hopes here, CM development activity was probably continue until it cannot without a newer kernel to base on, but the MTS community is small and is getting smaller. It has been an amazing trip, and I think we can all say we have met some awesome people here, but the Slide was essentially dead-on-arrival.

Two things, CM development is still going strong. He said he's got the .32 kernel booting just not with wifi (or wifi calling not sure which) so that's not really an issue at the moment and it should show up pretty soon. Also the MT3G fender has a 2.2 update, or at least a version. I helped someone with one put froyo on it so it might just be a bit of a tweaked port but I think it's official. He wasn't rooted and he didnt get a signature issue so thats what I'm basing my guess on.

Back from the dark side............

Just wanted to say hi................traded my Epic for an Evo today, seems like better days should be ahead now

A wise decision you have made, my friend. Wise indeed.

thats what I am hoping for. Epic had some really nice features but in the end the lack of OTA support and me never once sliding out the keyboard to use we enough to lure me to the Evo

Welcome back

cool.. I hope you find happiness and fulfillment with the evo.

Funny... Me and the wife went from blackberry’s to EVO at the same time, and it took her about 2 weeks and she was done with the EVO. She wanted a new phone or a divorce. So down to the store we went and she walked away with the Epic. I'll say this much now that I've completely rooted, Rom'ed, battery tweaked, and spend about a month learning everything about the phone, it's the s*i*.... So out of the box the epic might win, but in the long haul I'm glad i stuck with the evo... The divorce, however it did cross my mind...

there will always be other new phones, they are much cheaper than divorces

but sometimes..
all you have is...
cut your losses and move on...
about the phone...
yes.. out of the box..
the epic is nice... same box
evo.. you can change that box.. with so many updates and ROMs and Sense 2.x

so what are the popular Roms here?
Im on Myn's Warm and its pretty good so far............hows CMod, is it fully functional yet???

I've been on MIUI since November. I tried going back to sense about a month ago, stuck with it for all of 10 minutes and restored my MIUI nandroid. MIUI is the perfect marriage of form and function.

are there any bugs with it. I loved CMod on my Epic but the Camera didnt work, nor did 4g or http streaming among others

Well pretty much all custom ROMs have bugs and MIUI is no exception. Thankfully, I have yet to encounter any with the build that I am on (1.1.28). I know some people have had [minor] gps issues, and some camera issues but I haven't experienced any. Since flashing this build I have not had one reboot, FC or any type of hiccup. It runs beautifully.
4G doesn't work (yet) but that's not really a bug. They are saying we will have it in the coming weeks.

have you compared it to Cmod?

There is cyanogenmod 7 wich is android gingerbread. Works very good i have used it and there is already a beta build of cyanogenmod 7 with wimax but like i said its in the beta process not yet ready to become stable but it works. I really like mikfroyos rom v4.5 its the fastest rom i ever used thats including myns and freshs rom and i like the theme it comes already installed. So if you wants sense give mikfroyo a try and if you want aosp go with cyanogenmod 7 nightlys very stable very fast and it has wimax hope this helps

Yeah, I tried CM but it's way too bland for me. MIUI is more stable, performs at least as fast, and looks a heck of a lot better. In fact, I get higher quad scores on MIUI than I did on CM.

Htc Aria

its bad that the htc aria doesnt get dhat much support nomore. im just saying
sent from my still kicking ass aria

I have to disagree the aria never had ton of roms but the ones that we did get were solid and we still have a couple of great devs that have given us a cm 9 that is currently my daily driver. Hell we even had a taste of miui v4 So I think we are still getting descent support for a device that was never really a blockbuster seller.
Sent from wherever I am!

not just the roms just any type of help
sent from my still kicking ass aria

I have always gotten great support and have learned a great deal about the Aria, Android, and smartphones in general just from this sub-forum. Perhaps I can help you with something?

Aria support
I've found plenty of support for this little phone. We just can't expect a lot from such a slow processor. With a larger (16 gb) sd card and the right apps, it's easy to move things around to get the most from this phone.
I haven't tried the new CM9 on the Aria, but for my money, CM7.2 rocks on the Aria! I'm not sure the hardware benefits greatly from ICS, but again, I haven't tried it....yet.

its pretty qood and smooth, im just waiting on the camera to qet fixed
sent from my still kicking ass aria

I think it did fairly well, you have to remember this was the second Android device for ATT and that was two years ago. Times have changed. I definitely applaud the devs that are still here and working on it actively.

I think the phone had excellent support. This was by far one of the nicest communities on XDA-Developers. As mentioned above, although we didn't have a billion ROMs like other phones, the ones we did get were rock solid. Quite honestly, there is no reason you need 100+ different roms on the phone. You either go the CM* route or Sense route.. Big shout out to genepool's liberated 2.2.2 ROM... I think that's the most polished sense ROM out of the bunch. His ROM is how HTC intended the device to run.
What did you need help with? There are lots of people here ready to help, myself included. I don't even have the phone anymore and I still read these forums from time to time.
Edit: I see you're having trouble with the camera. What's wrong with it?

The Aria is a wonderful little phone, and it is a shame HTC abandoned it. However, the community here at XDA has been more than generous to us, and to this day, continues to support the Aria. I owe all the developers a beer or two for their hard work!

The ROM I can't leave- Synergy RLS1.

I have tried to flash many roms, keep them, and love them. But there is just no ROM that I think does the EVO right like Synergy. Almost a year since its release, too! I remember flashing every one of it's nightly builds.
The EVO's life span is at its end. I feel like because of this well collaborated project, I really have enjoyed and got the most function out of my EVO.
Is anyone else just a die hard fan of this rom?

P.S. EVO 4G LTE, here I come.

i was on rls1 up until a couple of weeks ago, loved it. i'm running express for my daily now, playing with shooter and kornerz. all are working good and i like them all.
the evo still has a good bit of life left.. the devs keep bringing new features to the table. i'll be using it till sprint gets something i like, my contract goes for another 3 months..
t

I was a die hard fan at one time and still consider that ROM sort of a high water mark for Sense ROMs for the Evo. (As opposed to quick and dirty ports from other phones, this one showed some real skill and care on the part of the developers.) It piggybacked on the great community of fans that had grown around myn's previous ROMs, so the abundance of themes and mods was a real selling point as well.
But there's no denying it was based on an older stock ROM and older kernel, had CIQ baked in, offered a confusing experimental GodMode option (that turned out to be a developmental dead end and was incompatible with any mods or kernels not explicitly designed for it), and is no longer being updated with key performance enhancements that Sprint, HTC, and the wider XDA community have discovered or developed for almost a year now.
MikG is the logical successor to Synergy. Not that there aren't even newer and more exciting ROMs out there, but MikG really is the closest thing we have to Synergy that is actively maintained.

Gotta go with mikG also. Even while synergy was still being developed I preferred mikg, miks roms are always great.

i was definitely hyped up for the release, but could never become a die hard fan. tried, and it was very good, just couldn't love it. I've been on Tommy Tomatoes since it was released and find it significantly more stable and useful. I believe Tommy is a Myn disciple, so you would be as happy there

I will admit that I never ran the Synergy Roms but I've flashed a lot of Roms since rooting my phone in Sept of 2011 and Tommy is doing incredible stuff.
His Roms are great! Super stable with a ton of tweaks. Supermagic is probably going to blow everyone's mind!
Just my opinion of course. Although all of the Developers keep the Evo 4G interesting. The amount of roms that are ported over to the Evo are unreal. Lots of variety.

I might give supermagic a try.... Been on mikg forever because I always come back

I tried synergy mikgg3.11 and supermagoc classic evolution. I keep going back to swagged out stock n with lionfish

what a great rom it is, it was my first custom rom that i used and ended up using it for a few months and consider going back to it regularly when i get fed up with dealing with ics roms that are not stable enough for me to use on a daily basis and i kinda miss having htc sense now that im almost addicted to cm builds

Synergy was my first custom. But too many bugs for me. I did move on to Energy, but once ICS has been ported, there's no looking back.
CM9 all the way.
