I have recently ported Modaco's Desire build to the hero i have managed to flash it successfully but when i reboot the device it freezes at the splash screen and the reboots into recovery ...
any help please
EDIT- i am now uploading my current work shouldn't take long hopefully
i will if it works keep this thread updated
I HOPE IT WORKS
Signed update.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?myzjmwxymmw
is it possible that the recovery is flashed at ever shutdown and therefore booted at next boot? iirc this was done in the original roms to prevent people from flashing custom recovery images...
edit: btw, plan on sharing that rom? and what did you use as base, pauls desire build for the n1?
Did you remember to wipe the device?
Hope you will find an answer!
Have you really success to port Sense 2.1 to a Hero.. I i understood well, i'm very excited to see it on xda!
yeah sorry should of gave more info the base was pauls desire rom i can only determine that it could be the boot.img but not certain ill upload my attemt shortly
this might be a noobish answer, but have you tried booting with just one normal partition on the sd card?
I know in some roms when u have a partitioned/apps2sd sd card it tends to do weird stuff?
he desire rom cannot be ported to the hero as the desire is ARM7 and the hero is ARM6, the binaries are just not compatible

Will we have the same issue with Legend ROM?
Have you checked over in the cdma hero forum? theyre pretty hard at work on that at the moment, might find some answers over there.
afaik the legend has the same cpu, only a few mhz faster... same architecture

IMHO flashing means just extracting the image to phone. You can actually put anything in image and "successfully flash". The real success happens when the device actually boots and works ...
You should also note that the desire runs 800x480.
And the Hero does not.
I think that only is more than enough reason why a port wouldn't work.

when a build is ported it automatically changes the ratio to fit the screen so thats not the problem

Yes, however, the SenseUI *.PNG files aren't.
And as Sense is already rather bulky, they don't include images (launcher, widgets etc) for all resolutions. The code, text and some images do scale, but the framework isn't as forgiving.

This is what I was referring to with the resolution.
I think we'd better just wait for the official update which should have most of these sense updates anyway.
I can wait a few more weeks
I did that, happy start on Hero. But there is a big problem. Nothing work. Scroll not work... But some reaction with buttons

i dont see a super hero anything.. jus hero... can you send me a link to the one your using? like can u upload it somewhere?
what i did was download android 1.5, then downloaded super hero build and replaced files in android. then replaced again with the jackshero ski1.6. this method should give you all the files you need and also be the most stable. for me anyway. you will want to extract the resources.zip. it will make a media directory on the root of storage. then put everything else on the root of storage outside of media folder. then simply run heret.exe.

Edit your default.txt
If you want a different LCD density, add an option lcd.density=xxx after the ppp options. 160 is default, 128 was the old "hiRes". Google Maps only works at 160.
If you don't want it to connect to data, add an option ppp.nostart=1.
I dont know if everyone has this issue or only myself....
My screen seems blurry, especially on linux boot, I attempted the lcd density adjusment as per above but can not seem to get it as clear as it used to be when massey started the project.
anyone have idea's? Am I possibly making a mistake? is everyone running into the same results?

you have to have the latest pointui installed. then enable it in today settings and then after it boots up disable it. then install the point sense suite cab. re enbable pointui in today settings. then switch themes in the pointui settings to point sense.

Do you install it to main memory? Seems like too huge for main?

Hi all!
I've been part of your community for the last few months and am just beginning to get a grasp of how things work.
To sum up my situation now...I had the diamond,but it was broken and then bought the hero not knowing the diamond could be fixed.When I got my diamond back from repair though I thought about,you know,doing a little hacking on it.So I've been flashing ROMs and,of course,have tried android.
I know some of you will say "Why not root the hero and flash a custom ROM on it too?".BUT!I want to keep my hero stock,mostly because of warranty issues and cause I don't want to brick it (always possible,right?).So,having the diamond available for everything and having loved android after hating WinMo,I thought about trying to port an android ROM to it.I've tried all possible android "installations"(so to say,it's never actually installed) and have liked Myn's Warm Donut most of all.Then the idea crossed my mind...As there are so many wanderful android ROMs,why not have one on the diamond?
I am thinking about trying to port either Team Villain's SuperHero or Exit93's Kimera 1.8 from hero,but I haven't got any past unzipping the ROM file!
So,what next?What do I do?If anyone wants to help you're welcome!After all I have thought of it as a community work product!
flashing an android rom isn't possible..for now...but if you want to port an android rom you should start from a rom of the g1...then if you want to do system.sqsh you need a linux distribution and sqsh tools..to use it in a ext2 partition i don't know
I am aware of the situation my friend!I know that,unfortunately,android can't be flashed on the diamond...I just want to make it run on the diamond,through haret!
And for the other thing you said about my PC's OS,I use Ubuntu mainly(much better than Windows,believe me!) and Windows 7 once in a while...So,where do I start from?

if you run haret.exe to start android, the WM will be completely shut down. wm is just used to initialise the stuff for android. u can use a full WM, no need to have an extralite one

This is in progress. I managed to get it running till boot animation and this - unfortunately - is relooping. But I've uploaded ito to the dev (=Myn) so he can perhaps fix this
Did you check with adb logcat ? The last time I had some loopings I had some wrong permissions on /etc/dbus.conf.
adb shell , chmod 755 on the file fixed it
Don't know guys,I'm not an expert!
One thing that has come to my attention is that your SuperHero ROM vatoloco might have problems only because of the Sense UI.Try deleting Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex from /system/apps and try again.Haven't tried it yet.Not that I don't like SuperEclair,but wouldn't it be better to have two nice Android Roms instead of one?
Hi, I'm a newer, I would like to ask if there is an Android ROM that can Bluetooth, WIFI, Camera and 3G work so far?Is there any ROM that also have HTC Sense?
If I install the ROM, will I damage my WinMo file?As I am still using HTC Official ROM now. Just worry can't go back if not satisfy and back to WinMo
Many thanks

In fact, I read the forum for the whole day and what I have found so far is that all touch pro 2 android 2.2 ROM did not fix all problem yet. Therefore, I am asking for any ROM that works for all function even 2.1 ROM.
As far as I know, HD2 has launched the 2.2. ROM with all function working, don't know if that ROM can be applied on Touch Pro 2?
Thank you

The ROM itself has no impact on hardware functions working, and those are all kernel issues. It doesn't matter if you put the same 2.2 HD2 ROM on your phone (which is easy to do) the TP2 kernel is more advanced than the HD2, and therefore further behind.
I have android running on my TP2 (verizon). Its nice to have both OS's on 1 phone, but its still very unstable, no sound, gps, cam, bluetooth, screen goes black 1 out of 3 times, phone still Lags. Im pretty sure these guys will get it right in a near future, so big ups for them!

If you would read a little bit you would find out this doesn't even install to your internal memory(NAND), it installs to your SD card, hence why you can dual boot......

I just ported the Sensation Rom, using the dsixda kitchen. Everything seemed to be going fine until I flashed ROM and is giving me, "Can't open.......

Please help I would like to post this alpha tonight

No, don't post in the Development forum, as this isn't Development (yet) - it's still a question.
I'll download your file and see what's going on.
EDIT: Well first off, the ROM is WAYYYYY too big. Did you remove anything from it? Did you set up any symlinks to the Data partition to make up for the space the EVO lacks on /system? How exactly did you port it? Did you only use the tools in the kitchen? Not only won't that give you a complete working (or booting, even) port, but you'll end up having duplicate files, for multiple devices. What kernel are you using? There isn't an ICS Sense kernel for the EVO, so I'm curious to know how you were able to mod the existing GB Sense kernel code (or maybe the modified ICS AOSP code?) to get it working.
EDIT 2: I see you're using the build.prop from the Sensation, which will cause problems. Also, the Sensation is a qHD device - did you resize anything for our WVGA screen? You're better off starting with trying to port the new Primo leak, but even then, you'll never get it to boot without an ICS Sense kernel.

No. If you're just starting out porting, it's best to start with something that actually has a chance at working, so that you can understand how everything works and what everything does. Technically, you don't even need the kitchen to port a ROM - it makes it about as easy as it can, while recognizing that it's an experimental feature with limitations.
There's a thread about porting different versions of Sense that should help you with the files that you actually need to move, and the content in the (now closed) kitchen thread should help out if you have any issues (sd card won't mount, sound doesn't work, etc.).
I recommend you first try to port something close to the EVO, like a Shift ROM. Try to get Sense 2.1 working on the latest OTA. I bet that'll take a whole lot of work, if you can do it at all (different versions of GB). If you do, you'll definitely have some skills/tools that can help you in your quest for ICS Sense.

Take it from someone who had cooked and posted literally hundreds of rums for multiple devices, and don't post anything until you've built at least 20 different (semi-)working roms for yourself first. You are opening the door to major criticisms (*****ing) and a lot of support work (which you may not be ready for) if you make your work public too prematurely.

One major problem is there's not a fully functional kernel to boot ICSense soooo that's the first issue here, next would be if the dpi and images haven't been resized to match the evo's resolution there will be major visual flaws and possible won't boot, if you really want to start porting roms I'd suggest starting with a GB rom since they are stable and there's alot more info and tools out there to get it ported

This isn't another one of those 'can somebody port Sense' threads.
Please note that this thread is for developer-oriented discussion. If you don't have anything to say to help development, please refrain from posting here.
Also note that ideas are welcome. Just check if the idea you're about to post has already been posted by somebody else.
Right now, it's just multiple people working on this. No team, just individuals.
As of the last edit of this post, there has been little to no progress:
I'm constantly working on builds. The current, and the only goal I'll be striving towards as of now is using a T-Mo HTC One X ROM in combination with RaymanFX's CM10.1 RC2 build.
XDA RC @abcdjdj has reported that he has fixed a lot of errors in his build, and is now stuck at the bootanimation. If you can help him in any way, here is what's wrong with his build. He's using FXP's CM9 as a base and a 4.0 HTC One X with Sense 4 ROM as a port.
The OP will constantly be updated with any progress anyone makes.
We're currently using this XDA thread to help us port the ROM.
--------------------------------
Here's everything I have to share on my build:
PORT: HTC One X, T-Mobile Edition| Android 4.2.2
BASE: Sony Xperia S, nozomi | Android 4.2.2
------------------------
ITesters needed. If you can work through adb commands and can provide me with logcats, please leave a post about it in the thread.
And finally, a note to anyone that may be cursing me for working so very slow (because I admit, this is very slow):
Please understand that all this isn't easy for me. I have painfully slow internet, making each download at least one hour, and thus a pain. My time on this project is limited every day, so progress is slow.
Reserved.

Okay, so this is the work that has already been done and some of the mysteries that puzzle me right now:
I've edited the CM9 kernel's ramdisk, like stated in the tutorial I'm using (see post 1). As of now, the kernel itself is broken and even if the ROM was complete, not even the booting would work. (Well, booting works as far as showing the boot logo (the green FXP one) goes. But the LED notification light for entering recovery doesn't light. Bootloop over and over...)
Many of the lib files intended to be copied from one lib folder to the other are missing on our Nozomis... My question is, what are the consequences...?
My main issue here is that the zip won't flash. The recovery (no matter which I choose) just returns an 'ERROR' and refuses to flash the file...
Another question would be how to repack an .elf kernel into a boot.img. Because now, I'm trying with letting the CM9 kernel in the zip (since it is an .img) and then flash the modified .elf kernel that I repacked with Flashtool. Inefficient, but at least there's a way.
So currently, the priority list would be:
1.Get zip to flash
2.Fix kernel
...Not necessarily in that order. We could fix the kernel first, but there isn't much gain to it if the ROM zip can't even be flashed to test if it truly works...

STATUS - Gets past kernel and even loads bootanimation. Fixed many errors in the logcat. Gets stuck at bootanimation and even displays a message saying that System is not responding, would you like to close it.
I couldn't manage to fix any more errors in the logcat so I gave up but you have rekindled my spirit to get Sense booting on out device. I will upload my rom soon along with the logcat.
Cheers,

Wow, you actually got the thing to boot?
The only question is how did you manage that based off of a tegra CPU? Would be very interested in seeing that...
On a not-so-very related note, your port was of ICS and Sense 4 , correct?
Am I the only one around here that favors old software?

Not fully booting but I think close to booting. I followed the guide mentioned by you in the OP and one by one eliminated all errors that I could eliminate. I had been working on Sense for around a month during my school holidays but now I am not getting any free time. And yes it is Sense 4 (Android 4.0.4).

But isn't the Tegra3 completely different than our FUJI board?
Especially the graphics, those must be out of control on your ROM...
If I were you, I'd at least take the AT&T version of the HOX.
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: is it the same if I try and port from a MSM8260 board (the same as the Xperia) and the later S4 Qualcomm versions (used in the Xperia T, AT&T One X etc.)? Because porting from a CDMA phone (HTC Rezound) seems to make the work harder...
Thankfully, my summer holidays have just begun, so I have plenty of free time (that's also the reason I started my project).
P.S.
Yeah, maybe that's exactly what I should do. Ditch the CDMA phone and start with the Snapdragon S4 One X!
I would prefer Sense 3.x, but oh well, at least Sense4 is also Sense

I just found this. It's not even that old...
Anyways, I've been thinking if the devs of this would be able to help us.
This development stuff gets boring pretty quick when you do it for the 10th time
@samuel2706, could you give these guys a little hand?
But he's a HTC Dev... Wouldn't we need something more like a nexus or better yet a Xperia developer?

Well, I thought I'd make this thread so that devs could help each other to actually work together and create a working Sense ROM. So naturally, all help is welcome from anyone.
Anyways, I'm on my way to finishing yet another try, this time with the AT&T One X. Fingers crossed that it at least makes it to the bootanimation.
EDIT: I see that the easiest way to get Gapps is with including the default /data folder from the original HTC ROM (with vending, youtube etc.). But I have to add that to the updater-script. So, I want to ask, is /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 the data partition on the Nozomi?
What's happening?

Hi,
I am porting [or trying to port] Sense 4 from HTC One X to Xperia S. I used FXP 214 CM9 as a base. I followed this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
Then I fixed as many errors as I could by checking the logcat and got it till the Bootanimation. But now I need help to get it to boot. So, I have attached the logcat from my latest build.
Thanks for your help,
abcdjdj
Maybe copying a few more files could help. Maybe act like your xperia is a HTC device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
Could be worth a try and play with this copying a bit...
Seems to be failing at dalvik; very strange, it doesn't show any major errors on first glance however I'll take a longer look at when I can, however I can link you to this thread that may help you in the meantime Porting
What about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276871
Nice and automated, but the question is, will it work?
I'm trying it with the HOX, just need to wait for it to copy to the phone...
All this seems like a big race -- who will get it working first? Hyped!
Kinda makes me wish I still had my xperia S I could have given this a real good go at; but instead I have a galaxy s4, so it's going to be mostly logcats and such I can help with, I don't like blind building things; made that mistake before.
A blind build is better than no build. Unless it makes bricks...
Thanks a lot for helping out.
Though I'll never understand how a pro HTC dev can go to Sony and then Samsung. ;P
I just hope THIS time my kernel will boot... Cause if it doesn't ... [censored]...
EDIT: Okay, [censored] is happening... Why can't I make this zip flash? I've done it a million times, but all I get is ERROR... ;-;
unfotunatly, i'm not a dev. but i really like the idea. specially if considering porting htc one sense version to our nozomi. i think it would fit like a glove
