[Q] porting sense 4.0 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

SORRY IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED
im trying to port a sensation sense 4.0 rom to our hd2's
im a noob and wanting to try and learn how to port etc
only way to learn is to try
i have used this method :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
and im getting errors in cwm mainly status error 0
what am i doing wrong
the rom im porting is this one :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513055
the target device rom im using is this one:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649
as it is also a sensation rom but ported for hd2 so i assumed there wouldnt be much to change (probably wrong)
obviously when/if i can get this to run the it will have the energy stuff removed as it wont be an energy rom and isnt my stuff to keep in (thats if it is still in i dont know it wouldnt boot)
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
(going to give the kitchen a whirl)

happy to see your determination on study.
though i dont know how to port
but i know one thing
sharing ramdisk(initrd.gz) of between different major versions of android couldn't work
ie. 2.x/3.x/4.x
you should rebuild a new ramdisk for porting ics.
tips. may be tytung's ics r1 kenel could help.

BUMP!

ok so i have ported it using dsixda kitchen using the energy sensation rom as a base
now im getting error 6 in cwm... from what i have googled i have put it down to my update-script but as a noob i have no idea whats gone wrong

The updater script isn't in linux formatting, you need to use notepad ++

I only use notepad ++ and i think it is in linux formatting, how do you put it in linux formatting

Just found interesting thread in desire hd forum
This is a port from sensation(i think) with Sense 3.6
here
I think that you will try this, it's easier to port from DHD
btw, good luck

stupid question would i use an ics rom as a base since its ics

you have errors in your updater script.
open your file with Vim (press "a" to start typing) rather than notepad++ to see if there is any weird thing
cheers

not to say this but, it will be hard,
sensation is armv7 if im not correct, it will make the port harder :/ but as its based on ICS it wouldn't be to hard neither

Wouldn't it be easier to port a Desire HD build of sense 4.0 instead of from the Sensation?

just found this desire hd build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545595) so will try porting that instead

Im not expert but i was thinking it might be easier only because porting normal Desire HD builds is easier to do because the phone is rather similiar to our HD2, or at least so I've read here on XDA. I know when developers started trying to port builds from the Sensation it took a long time to work all the bugs out because the phone is so different from each other.
I also came across another thread about this found here that might yeild some useful help. They are using AROMA Installer to install the build but are having problems getting it up and running as well. I personally have not used it yet so i can't say if there is any benefits or any negative feedback about trying to boot using that or not.

DHD is MSM 8255 with Adreno 205. HD2 is QSD 8250 with Adreno 200. HD2 ~ Desire ~ Nexus One != DHD.
Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

The Sensation is Adreno 220 so wouldn't the Desire's chipset at 205 be closer and more of a match to the 200 of the HD2? I'm still
learning so I could be wrong but i know a lot of developers had problems porting from the Sensation more so then the Desire HD.
Kind of thinking about it i recall that may have been from the lack of Kernal support or something though. Not sure since its been awhile now.

of cause, think of the resolution of g14...... qhd and hd2..... wvga:laugh:

So, are you going to work on dhd port or sensation port?

[Q] MIUI Rom for HTC Tattoo?

Hi everybody! I would like to know if someone can take a look at the porting of MIUI rom for our Tattoo.
It should only be a problem of resolution or am i wrong?
I've read something about this chinese rom and it sounds very good. I would be interested in this rom too...

Well it seems they have already translated it and added some cool feature we just need someone who can port it to our tattoo! I would love to do it but i dont have the skills :-(
Does someone have the link to the source of MIUI itself?
Maybe we can add it to an existing ROM. Or is it not an interfave ,but a ROM?
as far as i know it looks like a rom, not an interface. i'd compare it to cm
very curious
Please someone port this to the Tattoo Please
Srsly, cool rom... i'm not sceptic, but desire had 2x better hw than tattoo... it looks cool on desire... but i'm not sure about same on tattoo:/
It´s a rom based on FroYo so I would think if CM6 works on Tattoo this could work also. ivendor did it with CM6 maybe he can take a look at MIUI ?
I hope Seems cool as I said
i knew the thread would get lower attention when its pushed to Tattoo General
Some news ? Because I very like this ROM and I want this ROM on my tattoo
Im in learning of making roms , did one test :
Download desire miui rom
Replaced kernel + boot.img with cm6 rom.
Getting reboots.
Bib Big Fail
Sent from my Tattoo using XDA App
Nice try.
Installer Script fail
It was the installer script in the previous try
it did not do anything..
only replacing boot.img... lol
im now ./adb pushing an new rom to my phone.
I'd be surprised if you actually got it to work that way. I'm afraid it's not that simple unfortunately.
i think it will never come i need it for my brothers phone...
will nobody busy with it?

android 2.3 hacked evo rom on a dhd

I noticed that the guys in the evo section have a dev/test only 2.3 rom compiled from reverse engineering off the 2.3 sdk. They have already got most of the functions to work, all a bit buggy but cool all the same. I was wondering if I were to flash a evo rom onto my DHD and it didnt work would I still be able to use clockworkmod and reflash my nand backup off sc card?
Or am I just crazy to even think of trying?

I also noticed while rooting/updating my mates Sony Ericsson X10 that there is a sdk dump of 2.3 available. Doesnt really work but still nice to check it out
Anyone willing to do a sdk dump or point me in the direction of how to do it
Ok i attempted to flash the evo 2.3 rom on my DHD.
Didnt work, guess it is because wrong kernal.
Am I the only person who would like to see a skd port of 2.3?
Just to check out, obviously would not run well enough to use as daily rom.
If any1 can point me in the right direction I would love to learn how to port/compile over from a sdk.
I'm as eager as you are! I want a tasty gingerbread
But i'd suggest you wait until a rom is released SPECIFICALLY for your phone...jumping ahead can result in great losses...i'm sure you don't want a £450 paperweight
And trust me, time will fly, before you know it some smart XDA Chef will have released an optimised rom just for our shiny Desire HDs!

I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.

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

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

As far as I know you can't just put Sense on an Android build, that simply isn't how it works (otherwise a tonne of people would have been doing it for a while now) and if you did manage to combine those, it wouldn't be usable with just 512mb of RAM anyway

The choice is up to you. My personal preference is CM7, but if you really want ICS then go for it I guess.
Its all based on what you want on your phone. Some people like sense, some like miui while others like cm7. Look at the videos on youtube and in the post of the ROM your looking at to try and get an idea of what you want on your phone. Not to complicate things but here is a list of around 300 Android ROMs for the HD2. Most are old but even many of the old ROMs still run great and are at least worth it to look at.
ok ty very much for the info!
I donwload AOKP for HD2 but not have a config for email ? (entreprise ou activesync) ! why ?
I'm using Tytungs CM9 ICS v1.5 rom as my daily rom. Had some problems initially (hot reboots once per day) but after upgrading CWM from 4 to 5.0.2.6 (not sure about exact number, the latest anyway) its been running smoothly with an occasional hot reboot. LOVE ICS, battery life is better than my old GB rom and data usage has reduced a lot.
It's no sense but you may like it

Hi m8!!
at the present there's only one ICS Sense Rom cooking, you may find it here:
