Chris said what needed to be told..
But if you are so eager maybe you should try it yourself....Coz the guide is quite clear

Ok....

Well , Sense can never be ported to X8 , no matter how hard you try since our device does not meet the minimum requirements to make Sense run.

NO! You know, camera and RAM isn't everything!

According to GSM ARENA:
MEMORY
Card slot microSD, up to 32GB, 2GB included
Internal 512 MB ROM, 512 MB RAM (418 MB user-available)

Ok

ICS Sources has been released!

Awesome news guys! So anybody going to start trying porting it for our devices ? I wonder can our silly GT540 run it :s
Wait a day or two before syncing the repo the source is still being transfered to the git archive
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
sweet!!!! now if i can just be patient enough to wait now!
Great to hear that, but I don't think that ICS will run smoothly the GT540. I'm already planing to buy a Motorola Defy for using CM9.
Me I'm just waiting CM9 ^^

GB source was ~2.5GB big. ICS is almost 3 times. So I think it would be around 180 - 200 MB.
Sent from my LG GT540 Swift using XDA App
soruce is 10gb just after download and 35 after swift build
To developers:
Ics repo is using different device configs so quarx, mur4ik or any "ready" device folder won't work And framework audio files are not maching GB ones so i will need to use generice CA audio witch should work nice ... And I needed to add extra ram to even start the build ... 16gb of ddr3 is min and at least 4 cores at 4ghz is needed to build ICS fine
But anyways !
Let's roll :
It seems so. Are you wondering? Requirements a nearly the same as for gingerbread.

Please Port this AWESOME ROM!

I was using a htc desire before moving on to the desire z a few weeks ago, the rom I used before I moved to the desire z is Runnymede by Sebastian15, This rom is pretty awesome, it actually runs as good or better then any sense 3.5 roms ever made for the desire z.
Desire - 1.2ghz
Desire Z - 1.5Ghz
(desire z is faster)
Desire- 576 mb ram
Desire z - 512mb ram (but i think the desire z's ram is faster)
(desire z has 64 mb less ram, not a big difference)
Desire - Adreno 200
Desire Z- Adreno 205
(Big difference, desire z is much faster)
Desire- 512 mb rom
Desire Z 1.5gb rom
(No need for ext4 partition for system apps, therefore, desire z is faster)
Please port this rom as i know it will be superfast, runs great without swap, make a big impact on sense 3.5 roms for our device.

Ill have a go at it
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Thanks, I think the port of this rom will change how people view sense 3.5 as "smooth and fast"
all im saying is, this is hard haha, might take a while
How about a touchwiz 4.0 or miui rom (themed). I mean we already got so many sense and stock/cm7 roms. I think a change will be good. And touchwiz is a good second to sense. And if u do it thanks.
I have never heard anything good about touch wiz. I could be wrong but a lot of people on g+ loathe it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
touchwiz? Are u serious bro? I bought the desire z cuz I don't want touchwiz. What's good bout touchwiz anyway?
plenty of great Runnymede ports for G2/Desire-Z already, such as:
Virtuous Affinity 1.48.0 based on Runnymede
BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.1 [Sense3.5] [Unity Kernel]
RunnyDrOiD v2.1 By PVTEAM | Ultrafast & Smooth | 2.3.5 | Sense 3.5
MikRunny v1.01 - [ Sense 3.5 | 2.3.5 | Tweaks | Odex/Deodex ]
RCMix3d Runny v4.0 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5][OC]

Not really "faster"........Just better.
Porting a ROM is not all that difficult. Just takes time. If you want to port it, you most likely are going to have to do it yourself as the original creator probably only has a Desire to test it out with, which is the biggest part when porting/AOSP.
woot! woot!

Lol u think this one isn't difficult? You have to make sure the HBOOT isn't touched (because the rom automatically changes it to a desire one, which would brick), make sure ext4 isn't used for sd apps, instead system is, make sure all symlinks are right, data is correctly formatted, the right libs are swapped, the architecture files are changed, then it not booting even though logcat is fine?

I meant overclocked, desire z runs 1.5ghz safely, desire 1.2ghz safely.
Desire Z - 45nm
Desire - 65nm
So our CPU is much faster then the desire's

You follow the SAME steps done in the original ROM. If it works, simple porting. If it doesnt THEN it gets intresting. But post ports have 50% of the work already done.

When a ROM is created (or ported) overclocking speeds are NEVER taken in consideration. It must work from a phone that comes out of factory.
If a modder based his ROMs on overclocked devices (hell, if any software developer based their work on overclocked devices) we would have so much incompatibility.......
infact, sorry, im not going to port it. instead, im gunna make my own rom, with similar customisations

It turns out that the reason their roms are so fast, is because they have GPU+, which means that its kind of overclocked, and results in a >21% increase in 3D performance. If we could do this too, our sense3.5 would be much better

I don't see how the amount of RAM would affect your purchase...
My recommendation is to stay away from this phone like the plague...
Low internal storage without GB makes this a phone a boat anchor
If your stuck with AT&T and want a hardware keyboard... go with a samsung captivate glide

No, As you see, I'm Vietnamese , so i don't stuck with AT&T
I have very few money, And If this phone have 512 MB of RAM, it's the best phone in my amount of money
So I just want to know Flipside have how much ram ?

more than I thought
GSMARENA.COM also said that The HTC Wildfire S has 512 MB of RAM, but in fact, It only has 418 M
It prolly has 512 but... the 100 missing is prolly memory that makes certain hardware features work

ok which version of miui is it? cause they dont directly list the flipside
I would assume without a working cm7... we don't have an miui rom
Sent from my MB508 using Tapatalk
well why say that and get us all excited? lol
There's an MIUI port based on laidaxin's CM7 rom, it's on the same Chinese forum as the CM7 rom. I believe it's fairly early in development, not really ready for daily use.
Why would you guys want MIUI...
CM7 is so much nicer, no?
Sent from my MB508 using Tapatalk
Well id have to say miui and cm are pretty much neck and neck... miui being a little heavier on the hardware end though

Htc sense ported to sgsii and others

HTC sense project have successfully ported HTC sense and have it operating almost fully!
Project SENSE4all
Are doing what nobody thought possible
Everyone whose tried has failed misserably until now,
Let's hope others can port their work for our arcs!
Sent from my Arc using xda app-developers app
its too hard to port sense it req. more rom we have only 1 gb (user ablative 200~mb) im not shure are posible
You mean there's not enough space on an arc? Yes but HTC rooms use 4ext or some sort of extra partition on the SD card, its not impossible, think sense4all is at 400mb ish
Sent from my Arc using xda app-developers app
Why do you want Sense? It sure does have a lot of features, but our phones can barely run Sony stock which is a lot lighter than Sense.

not for all phones they port , only for samsung phones
OK just let me straighten this out, I never said I wanted sense its not a request its not anything, but to let people know, its not for discussion to whether it could be done, its just so people know its finally been done, Samsung or not its been ported to a device which doesn't nativley support it, therefore it could be done for any phone with reasonable specs, and yes I know arc has a poor amount of physical memory, im not here to argue or discuss this subject...
Edit
I'm quite well aware of the capabilities of this hardware, hence why I'm running cm9.1 and all the performance tweaks I can get my hands on ; )
