Questions about porting - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so I wanna try and start porting roms and I have a guide and it doesn't seem extremely hard and I think I can do it but I have some questions when porting a rom I figure I have to port it from a phone like the desire hd or can I port it from any phone jw bc I'm looking in the desire hd form and most of the aosp roms are already ported

Yeahhh that's part of the reason I tried learning how to compile so quickly. With as much porting that goes on for this device, its difficult to start off. Hence why I don't port at all anymore. I like to give others a chance at learning what I already know (somewhat). That's the reason you didn't see a jb port from me as soon as it hit the dhd I'll try to drop you a pm soon if I find any thing that would seem port/release-worthy.

That's quite cool and maybe useful to the devs working on the sensation port. Because its sense 2.1 but with the 3.0 lockscreen. What's the screen resolution on the chacha and the espresso?

Excellent. Think I'll work on porting it over to G2 tomorrow since it's my day off!

It's cool that it's working there, but any chance some one can port just the lockscreen so we can flash it on top of Virtuous? I need a rom that works 100%, thats a big reason on why I'm still using Virtuous.
Rooted HTC Vision/G2 running Virtuous v1.0.2
Old G1 that I don't use anymore...
well no one has ported it yet theyre all working hard on the sensation rom, some say its not even possible to port it to sense 2.1 roms however i think that since the took it from a sense 2.1 rom it has to be possible...im also dying to have it on a stable rom but all we can do at the moment is wait

It is very unlikely that the lockscreen will be ported to sense 2.1. the version of sense which the cha cha rom runs is a version of sense 2.1 with the same style lockscreen as 3.0 the sense 3.0 lockscreen wasn't ported to it. So there may be a chance that the cha cha locksreen could be ported but the resoloution is all wrong and would need to be scaled up. Given the challanges involved in changing the resoloution I dobut any one would want to give it a go.

thanks for the clarification Chris
Yeah, that does make things more clear. The senseation rom would be awesome to have it it worked 100%. And im sure that when it's at that point I will use it.
well for those who want to try out sense 3.0 heres another port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054412 its still not stable but its much more stable than the sensation port
It doesn't really look like the standard htc sense 3.0, but it did have the widgets.
Its tje expresso version of sense which is tmobiles sense or something like that, its ok it has the 3d animations and the cool lockscreen with the rings (except the 4 icons don't show up.... yet)

Well Im sure I just need to be patient, we need to be grateful of our developers and they will eventually figure something out.

[Q] Is a touchwiz 4 rom possible?

would there be anyway that someone could make a touchwiz 4 rom, i think that if people can make a sense 3.0 sensation port that so can a galaxy s 2 rom, If i knew anything about rom porting i would be making my own roms, But that aint going to happen any time soon . thanks A.Davies
Please don't post the same question in different forums.
I would imagine porting a touchwiz rom is possible, the main reason why it hasn't been done, is probably lack of interest from the community.
Personally I think touchwiz is nothing special.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
heh, you asked me to do a touchwiz 4 port ;D
i dont see whats so good about it though? xD
Yeah i know i shouldnt of posted them in both of them but i wasnt sure witch one to do so i saved time by doing both of them. If anyone can give my any guide to porting roms ill do it myself and if it yeilds any results ill upload it on here.
I know u can just install the toucjizz launcher and get at least somewhat a touchjizz rom. Other than that I think your SOL
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Ive tried the touchwiz launchers ( all of them ) but there nothing like it, very buggy
Maybe you can do it with that rom kitchen thing?

Help thread ExtremeLegend™ Fuse for ppl who can't post at dev thread yet

Guys, this a now help thread for ppl that couldn't post in the dev section yet, so if ur a new xda member , don't hesitate to ask questions here
To be honest I think one of the only things the community of the Legend is still waiting for is ICS with working wi-fi/gps/HWA. And since you can't really port that's not going to be great. But we got lots of Froyo/Ginger choices already...
well i'm eagerly waiting for a working cm9,both because it's ICS and CM. i'm very pleased with cm roms,so i tend to stick to them, but i'm open viewed and would take any rom,if no other reason then just for fun and for testing.
thansk for the offer
Is it possible to have a combination of Vanilla + Sense, like SuperVillainZ ROM found across the more popular HTC devices?
CM9. 2.2 & 2.3 are fully covered.
Thanks for the opinions guys

cool, ill see what i can do, mate, im actually still using the Legend, its my first Android phone and i love it its what got me into android and dont wanna waste it, im using both phones now
Senseless, speedy ICS with WiFi working.
ICS won't be made available as the Legend does not have enough RAM (384MB), the Adreno 200 is aged, and MSM7227 won't have enough CPU power to run it. We already have enough Froyo/Gingerbread ROM's for this phone. Is it a great phone? Yes. However, there are quite a few newer HTC phones that the devs are putting their time and energy into. Don't contradict me about the chinese ROM going around. As long as the devs can't find the appropriate driver modules for the WiFi, BT, and GPS, it's not worth using.
Maybe a MIUI port? Now MIUI is open-source, so I think that it's possible
Im gonna see what i can do, i think ill start with a very clean cm7, but ill work my way thru. Cheers for the opinions guys !!!
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Kay, ive decided. Imma name it Extreme Legend Fuse, its gonna be based on latest stable version of CM7. Theres no use of making an ICS if it wont work properly as we have no ICS sources specifically for the
legend From HTC. No use. I dont wanna make a rom which wont work.
Im gonna keep updating u guys with news on fuse (WOW that rymes lol)
So this is gonna be a custom version of CM7
Stay tune for more info on Fuse

Sense 3.6?

I was wondering if there are any full sense 3.6 Roms that have everything working including camera. Tried searching but didn't really come up with anything.
I really blackout but it has no camera. It's the only thing holding me back from that Rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Oh, hell. It has been explained, repeatedly, in every Sense ICS thread why we have no working camera for Sense ICS. Go read and learn.
Also, brace yourself. Flaming is coming.
Sent from my Glacier using XDA
I believe the OP looked at Desire S section...
Unlike Desire S, which has leaked official Sense 3.6 with proper kernel, MT4G doesn't have any official leak - because there will be no official ICS. So while Desire S can enjoy the proper kernel that supports everything without waiting for its sources to become available, MT4G has to wait.
You need full functionality? Stay on GB. I stayed. Next time, try searching before posting, as estallings15 suggested.
I know that ics has problems with the kernal for the camera just wondering
I did search and did not find anything
And there is no need to cry

Then you search skills are lacking. And no one is crying, at least not yet. We're being quite civil.

So this my be a really stupid question, but ics has full functionality on the aosp and aokp rooms do they not use kernal 3? Could someone just use that kernal? I'm not trying to say our devs aren't the best around , just trying to understand the difference.

We don't have kernel 3. The Desire S does, but it's a different phone and won't work on the Glacier. And AOSP/AOKP is fully functional because the developers kept working on the fixes, as so are the developers doing the same for the camera and every other Sense 3.6/4.0 bug.

Yeah. Our aosp/aokp roms are the work of lots of butchering, they don't use a 3.0 kernel just lots patches and [email protected] trust me. If it were that easy, someone would have done it by now; besides aosp kernels don't work on sense

None taken. Just trying to put in a bit of help over here at the Q&A section... Though I normally read most of what is posted here; I hardly reply because someone like Jack_R1 or estallings has already given the asker proper information

Which is AOSP. We just went over this. A working AOSP camera does not a working Sense camera make.
Hopefully elginsk8r can put the finishing touches on his kernel soon. Mix that with the DHD ICS source, whenever that happens, and we'll be in business.
