[REQ] Planned X8 rom for Hero?

Hey guys and chiefs.
has anyone of you planned to make a Sony-Ericsson Xperia X8 ROM for HTC Hero?
that would be great because Hardware is very similar (only about 10% slower CPU and a bit less RAM) and my girlfriend is using my old hero. I have the X10 and i love timescape and mediascape but the X8 version is much faster and more cute
would be cool if anyone could port the X8 software when its released
Thanx for replies

X10 (and X8 even much more) are very not popular devices, so i think nobody will try to port ROMs from that devices.
One of reasons is eg. no support for multitouch... And if we have genuine 2.1, what can be better in port... ?
Rather somebody could try to run X10/X8 apk's on hero... I think it could be possible, but need support from users of that devices...
So if you're owner of X10/X8, publish here apk's of apps that you'd like to see on hero, if that apks will don't work from scratch, maybe one of our best devs (eg. somebody from TeamVillain or Feeyo, or sbd else) will try to modify that apk's...

honestly why would you want sonys rom?
if you have ever used an x10 then you know anything built by sony has been nothing but garbage...

totally crap!
i own an X10 with new R2B firmware and its a great device..... i have also an Nexus one and tried an HTC desire and i would never change to one of these devices for daily use......
and what are you talking about bad selled phone??? in japan it is the best selled phone of all the time by Docomo after iPhone.... in europe they sell it very much!!!
and don't compare it if you have only seen the release firmware..... if you would compare this then the hero would be one of the worst android phone ever...... slow like hell!!!!
if you can't believe me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqqeAFONSbw
and btw..... the X8 is not yet on the market so don't talk about bad selled device.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aknf9PhLW8A

Go die
Xperia sucks more balls than Mr.Bucket
The hero on the other hand is a masterpiece of art

Rather than discussing about which phone is better (which is the hero) lets talk about the Possibility of a X8 rom for the hero

I don't think that we should port the whole ROM,only the UI.Those blue menus,Timescape,Mediascape and generally all of Sony's stuff that can't be found somewhere else.But I think the ROM should be based on one of Hero's 2.1 ROMs.

The whole rom itself is garbage - mediascape timescape everything sony has modified is garbage - even the theme is
I returned my x10 and got an acer liquid with 2.1 - rooted and installed modified by me rom and the performance on this (with the same cpu at lower clock) is that I have 2x the performance in benchmarks than the x10 with the same hardware - so whatever sony has done slowed that chip down quite a bit - I would not trust anything from them after such a botched release - this **** is worse than what I run on my magic - literally was using my magic again after 1 day because 2.1 cyanogen is SO much better than anything sony can cook up... its pretty sad actually - now Im happy with the acer liquid until I get the Galaxy S

Wow, he's on 2.2 while we are all on 2.2.1 and look at this Gingerbread too, can we eat our phones now?
Well good to see the post count restriction working well in the Dev Forum (Tongue in cheek).

Should I buy a HD2?

At the moment I'm working and sweating with a LG P970 Optimus Black and I'm getting tired of the working/internet speed. So I looked around and I decided to buy a HD2. It looks good and on E-Bay its not very expensive. Is the HD2 really better/faster than the P970?
I've flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 SelfKANG on the P970 ( Android 2.3.7 ) and I'm thinking of flashing the same / similar Cyanogenmod Version on the HD2. Is this faster on the HD2 ?
Fast means for me that the keyboard is reacting quickly to my "typing-speed" ( ~8 letters á second ) and that images are "flowing" on the display. Another thing is the "surfing-speed"; even if I'm surfing with Wireless LAN the sites are loading incredible slowly and the phone stucks every time if it loads a site that is a little more complex. Zooming in and out is not possible without stucking...
So, is the HD2 better than the P970 Optimus Black?
BTW. Sorry for my english

I have never owned an LG phone but my HD2 is 2years old now and running miui it is incredibly quick the dev support is endless and its the best HTC I have owned for build quality. So imo yes I would buy one.

YES...
anyone on xda can tell u just how good and versatile a device it is... if u have a problem with it im willing to bet good money that there is already a fix to solve it...
plus hd2 gets every port of android tweaked for it... hmmm feel iv said too much... shouldda stopped at YES...

but...
Mm ok... but there is one thing that gives me a bad feeling - some people reporting that they bricked their HD2 and it wont even turn on so they had to send it to a JTag repair... with ( for my budget ) high costs :/
This is the advantage of the P970 I think - the phone is in a Bootloop; repaired in 5 minutes, the phone wont even boot ( didn't show the bootanimation ); repaired in 10 minutes... and there are few more issues that can be fixed without any costs or else ( except hardware damage )
I can't find anything for "unbricking" a HD2 yet - only that JTag method... no SmartFlash or R&D Test Tool like for the P970...
I would like to flash Android , like I said , and this is not possible without flashing/deleting/replacing the Bootloader :/ ... so ... is it "easy" to brick the HD2 ?

I always booted via SD which in my case was just updating the radio and installing HSPL. I have booted a massive amount of roms this way and had no issue. Plus if you have HSPL you can boot from a gold card I believe!?! But its been a while!!

I've heard about booting Android from SD-Card but is this as fast as booting/executing it from the internal ROM ?

Depends on what you boot if its ASOP It boots quicker than sense. I've found ASOP runs alot quicker than sense as well.

Bought my HD2 in July and... Well... it’s incredible! The community here behind the phone and the amount of dedicated developers is phenomenal! The fact that it can run multiple OS's just puts the icing on the cake! defiantly buy one

I was about to open exact the same thread, "should I buy a HD2?"
If I buy a new one it's still quite expensive, but as I can see there is massiv development going on. My current device is a Motorola Defy and it seems to be great to have an unlocked bootloader on the HTC HD2
Are you still able to use the hardware-buttons for answering/rejecting a call? On MIUI/CM and Windows Phone 7?
I guess multibooting Windows7 and MIUI would be my choice.
edit: also, is batterylife ok on those custom roms? somewhat like one day would be enough.

I am using MIUI (this one, stable version) and:
- yes, the hardware buttons work great both for anwering/rejecting calls and for activacting the device from sleep (all of them!)
- battery life is decent (with moderate use you can make 2 full days... but the huge screen drains a lot)... If you want a comparison, better than Mileston and worse than Nexus S.

Try miui because its ASOP it runs so fast and there are 100's themes available.

What's asop? If you meant AOSP, than miui definitely is not AOSP.
Re good ROMs, I'd recommend hyperdroid: it's stable, fast and easy on the juice.

v5.0 (Dec 27-2011). Sometimes check other but imo the best are those which gave.
Recommended also Energy Desire HD (Dec 31)

HTC HD2 is the best phone you can get, if you can second hand for less that $150. Hell, I have Ice Cream Sandwich on it before even the Samsung Galaxy S2 has had its official upgrade,

A surprise I found. BEE vs BUZZ.......

While I was surfing the internet aimlessly as usual , I thought to check gsmarena.com for the latest mobile news...etc
I found something interesting, In the CDMA Wildfire (AKA, Bee) I pressed the compare button and chose the normal GSM wildfire (buzz). In the android version the buzz was upgradable to android 2.2 froyo BUT THE BEE WAS UPGRADABLE TO 2.3 GINGERBREAD !!
Aren't they supposed to be the same phone but with different radios ?
A message to HTC: WTF ?!!!!!
Another thing, anyone knows what's the HTC sense version of the gingerbread bee ? Any RUUs available ? maybe it will be easier to port it from an almost similar device
If u wanna check by yourself, click here

Man. I am surprised. Did not even know that a cdma wildfire existed till now. Great to see an upgrade of 2.3 sense upgraded os.

these bees surprise me more and more. even though i am in the uk i am actually considering getting one of these just to f**k with it and see what it can really do. maybe even be able to port a recovery and cm7 to this device. cant be that hard surely. and ive seen the prices used on ebay for about £30 or so but they wont post outside the us :/ i am aware that the call/text functions wont work outside the us but the wifi would still work so maybe i could get this mysterious gingerbread update as well. thoughts?
oh, and ive only been able to find one ruu and i tore it to pieces only to find that its stock 2.2.1

I remember when i was looking for a way to get gingerbread on my wildfire (LOL it seems like it was the stone age then ) I read that someone had his wildfire on gingerbread out of the box.
Till yesterday i was saying "either he's a complete noob or an epic troll" .
Now I knew what he means, he had the Bee an he didn't know the difference between the Bee and the Buzz.
I'm in a quest for finding a gingerbread RUU for the bee. Will report if i find anything

SFM is already the base of our sense 2.1.
However the bee is probably not upgradable to gingerbread, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395647

Probably yes (and no-one did really care as there aren't that many bees out there). In the end we only could find out by getting hands on a RUU...

Hi,
People who say that Blade cannot handle 4.4 are definitly not true
after i fell of my bicycle , i have ruined my old Blade I.
I have started developing from scratch , and i build sucessfully Kitkat on Blade I as a test.
It runned perfectly smooth , gapps working , OC on 700 mHz.
I get everything working , only FM-Radio has not worked.
NOTE: When you use Spirit FM , the UKW-Radio is fully functional with headset.
I have added this line to build.prop to run phone in low ram mode (512MB) :"ro.config.low_ram=true"
The softbuttons are also very fine to use with.
Battery drained not as terrible as in 4.3 , so when you buy a bigger battery (at ebay etc.) , you could fully enjoy Kitkat on Blade I.
If someone know anyone selling his ZTE Blade I or even give it for free , please mail me , so i could start this project once again.
