Legend ROM port, better for our Heros instead of official 2.1?

Hi,
Most Hero ROMs try to port FriendStream, News and Live Wallpapers from the Legend/Desire to our Heros but wouldn't be better to just use a Legend port?
I've read about a few problems in the past, when we were still waiting for the official 2.1 update for the Hero and the Legend/Desire were just being released, about doing stuff like this that it would never be 100% like the current official 2.1 update for the Hero (well, it's not 100% either, but you know what I mean).
But now we have official RUU updates from the Legend (the most similar to the Hero of the new phones) we also have the source for the Hero 2.1 kernel, wouldn't that be enough to create a good and fully working port for the Hero? Wouldn't be better instead of using the official Hero 2.1?
I'm not as experienced as most devs here, that's why I'm wondering if this would be better and if there's some problem porting the Legend ROM that I'm overlooking...

No one has an opinion on this?

There was this ROM called Legendroid, I don't remember who was the developer But the ROM was pretty fast and stable.

Sure, but that doesn't really "answer my question"
I mean, we know have the source code for the kernel, which we didn't back then when such ROMs were released...
I'm wondering if that makes a difference...

Changing the kernel is not enough.

You could be more explicit...

I'm not a dev, but as a user I can say, that those were slow and battery sucker.
But if you do one what is speedy, uses battery at least as good as the official based ones, and it'll have more features....
Hero community will love you C:

I am pretty sure this was caused by the lack of the .29 kernel it should be better now.
Well I can't really see why a Legend ROM would be better than a Hero ROM, but I would like the News Reader Widget, I find it dumb how HTC wouldn't give the 2.1 Hero this widget but whatever.
OH btw don't take this as discouragement by all means go for it since most people ditched their Legend ROMs so if you can do it I don't see why not variety is good .

i thought the only problems transferring features from the legend ROM was the friendstream widget as everything else was ported over to normal Hero ROMs one way or another before the official 2.1 RUU came out.
it would obviously be easier to port the extra stuff from the legend ROM to the Hero ROMs

I don't think it would cause the Legend ROM has more things than the News and FriendStream widgets... For instance, the browser has quick actions for selected text which is cool, the mail widget has 3 variants (Hero's only have 1). And I'm sure there lots of other tiny little details...
It's a pain to port all these things one by one, it's just easier (I think) to port the whole thing with a Hero kernel (but I'm not the one to do it).
And I'm sure there are other "hidden" stuff that our Heros lack, it's just their way to differentiate their phones. It sucks for customers, but it's good for them.

If we take a legend port suppose would you be able to modify the Hero kernal to work on the port with OC.

As I said, it is not only the kernel that needs to be changed. But... we already have a Legend port... Fallah

I don't want to be rude but cloud you please stop saying that changing the kernel is not enough without explaining why and/or what else is needed?
You're not being very helpful like that...
And that Legend port is not based on WWE, so it would be a no go for me.

Have u tried asking the author of Fallah about it?

you guys got some response at least. good try.
my post in june just got rejected and ignored about the same exact thing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698053
should have free time in the coming months and i'm going to try make a legend port. i'm not a "dev" i know a little but i cant do what a lot of these guys do by any means. if its stable i might share
still use my G1 for random development as well as a magic 32b and now i got the desire i can try be brave and try out things on the hero.
logcat is your friend

There is a legend ROM on this Swedish forum. But the ROM should be wwe.

could you please add links to each post where we can download those two flashable files?
Also, has anyone tried fallah or the swedish rom yet? I downloaded them both just now but am running the just released updated cronos froyo rom right now and don't want to reflash until I've tested this baby thoroughly.
what I miss most about the old legend ports was the FAR superior text selector system with zooming etc. Is that part of these roms or was that a bit of a hack in the older roms? it sure was sweet....
It really should be part of android, but considering it's similar to the apple copy/paste concept, I'm wondering if there might be some patent infringement going on there which might explain why it's not used by HTC in other roms than the legend stuff. But that is just a rumor I pieced together myself so it's probably wrong.
anyway, it's the best text selector system on android. froyo's selector comes close but isn't still as good imho.

It looks hacked with a different theme, I'm not very fond of that... Thanks for sharing though.
I might try to do a port myself when I get the chance, similar to the Nebulae (my own ROM) features and see how that goes...

[Q] MIUI on our Kaisers

Are there any ideas so far of porting the MIUI to the Kaiser? It simply looks freakin awesome.

Point me to some source code and i'll have a go, otherwise that's a lot of apk's to edit so it fits on our screens!

The 'MIUI browser' available to download is a clone of the actual MIUI browser and is therefore compiled for various screen sizes. The MIUI interface is made for high resolution devices so would take a lot of porting!

How about some limited porting?
that could be done decompiling (and editing) a few .apks I suppose (I am no programmer)
The MIUI launcher, the pull down menu (with all the switches there) and the settings with tabs are kind of the main MIUI core.

I've been looking for the MIUI source and can't find it
I don't think the devs are going to release it anytime soon.

Is it possible to use a Vogue CDMA rom on our Kaiser ?

yes you can (i only had a cdma vogue so if you used Not So Super Froyo you used a vogue ROM)
as far as MIUI's source its never been released, the team that makes it likes keeping the source closed for some reason. Also porting it is going to be a lot more difficult than you think, even the hero wasn't able to get a working version mostly because it is designed for ARM7 processors in it's current form and without source it would be really unlikely to get to boot.

Without the sources... and MIUI tie to ARM7... we might be on a bit of a problem.
I won't say impossible, but unlikely...
Still, it would be awesome

[Q] Android 2.3 with Sense port from HTC HuaShan possible?

now that there's a 2.3 build with sense for HTC Sense leaked out there, i wonder if it's possible to port it to our devices?
Dump source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11379272#post11379272

was hoping port a port too.. maybe it would take up to 2 months to go for an official update.. a ported version would suffice

Actually it should be possible, but since the DHD has the Adreno GPU it could result in the same little issues CM7 has. Some 3D Apps do have trouble and performance isnt really the best for everyone (different results from user to user). There are no official Gingerbread drivers out for the Adreno Chip.
But, considering how well CM7 already runs on the DHD, it should be no problem after all.
Lets just hope some talented devs can look into it and get a stable build together until the official stuff gets released by HTC.

i will get working on a port straight away

It's probably Sense 2.1, the one on new HTC devices they have announced at MWC2011. It has more function and let's hope for better performance

Gingerbread has smoother scrolling & transition effects, thats the only thing I have noticed.
Hope the fonts are small like the regular desire hd roms & not gigantic.

Let me know how you get on mate, was working on it a few days ago but dex-opt kept failing

I'm so happy to see, that 2 such great developer work on porting it

Sweet, so we have new source code for our MT4G kernel. Anything fun you devs can do with this?

There's not much new in this Kernel release for MT4G (Glacier).
HTC updated:
FM Headphone code
Dock Accessory code
Upgraded old DMA engine to the DMA engine from Aurora Project (Google Chrome project)
That's it... If you use this as baseline, you will still have Youtube issues
If you want to find out more about kernels, read my Sense Kernel thread...
I am somewhat disappointed by this HTC release because it means T-Mobile is getting this code also, which means the upcoming OTA update may not be Gingerbread but just a maintenance release to fix a few minor bugs.
Until HTC release their Gingerbread Kernel, we are stuck @ Froyo (Linux Kernel 2.6.32 based).
Maybe after I reach version 1.0.0 for my Sense Kernel, I might start a pure Gingerbread Kernel which is Linux Kernel version 2.6.35+

the only thing they need to update is the fact that the focusing on the camera is all out of wack
