There's a dump of the "Wildfire" rom kicking around on here somewhere

I need froyo with sense also badly...
Kick!

Is there no one else that likes HTC sense? I would cook my own rom if i was able to do so. Is there some documentation for this. I have searched the forums...

There seems no mutch anymo. Strange, because the ui comes with such good aps..

For Sense UI you may wish to take a look at a few of the G1 hero ports, although all of those I have found have a few things not working, and the build sizes are around 110-130MB which is too big for normal kaiser installations.
I'd love to see a Sense port too, just for the sake of completeness, we've had just about everything else
(What I'd really love to see is a basic guide to porting for kaiser, since my own attempts seem to end in failure )

Android (Working... well kinda... )

Hey devs,
So according to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2084090&posted=1#post2084090
It is possible to port the android platform on 7500... And I had though 7200 and 7500 are essentially same except for different carriers... So I was wondering if anybody can find a similar approach installing android on the kaiser...
PROOF of workign: http://ustream.tv/recorded/MCvuInWZtruJojC4h2HqiAUyBKjIDFx4
It didnt work for me when I tried it from SD either... Remember I used AT&T Tilt ROM... i want to hear if this works on other ROMS...
Oh and if it freezes after haret is done loading... then it is probably that u do not have A LOT OF space on ur main memory... So do a clean up and a clean boot up before u run this... remember, we're just emulating it right now... oh and its seems pretty fast after its loaded... of course, I am only judging this by the one thing I can do i.e. bring up the wallpaper setting dialog usign the OK button beside the DPad...
OMG it works...
No buttons.. OK buttons puls up some wallpaper setting.. but it loads in LINUX, terminating WM..
People try it out... You DONT have to flash ur phone to use it... You might have to soft reset it to quit since buttons dont work... ... im trying something to get buttons working...
EDIT: Btw, I am using AT&T Test ROM for now... was just testing it... It might work better with Dutty's ROM... Please let me know if any progress is found ...

You are able to get this to work on the Kaiser? I freeze after the HaRET finished loading. Are you running this from the SD card or from main memory? This is quite a shock to hear of a working android on the kaiser because uptil now there hasn't even been a working liunx version on the kaiser!
Please share with us any details that you think might help us to reproduce this!
So confirmation it works on Kaiser? This vector would be more productive than sitting on our asses waiting for hardware-drivers from HTC/Qualcomm.
Yes, Please, or at least some type of proof or something!

Oh and update... I tried to instead chnage the script to run a different initrd... one from actual SDK, but that was around 33 MB... and haret.exe complained it can only run images <= 25MB or so... So If anyone can get the latest SDK imaged and get it running... please post instructions...

Every one of these work. You are never going to get the perfect rom to suit your needs unless you make one yourself. The instructions to make your own are on the dev forum too.
Take a decent bit of time and read the threads on the dev forums and decide what you want then flash it. If it's not for you, try another.

My touch 3g gets froyo sense...possible port?

Http://www.theandroidsite.com/2011/...e-t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide-download-it-here/
So, will this help with the froyo sense camera for hero?
Think there will still be a camera problem but who knows! ill download it and flash see what happens
is there any dev that took a look at this rom? are the camera drivers compatible?
I have PM'd Hawst (creator of the Tegro rom) to see if it is of any use to him.

Im trying to port it but getting symlinking errors got to go work now so will continue afterwards
Hi Bonesy! Glad to see you are on the case
I had a PM back from Hawst. He thinks we will still have HW problems as seen on the other 2.2 sense ports.
still we can live in hope?! I thought the MT3G was fairly similar to the Hero in terms of HW specs?
I have to agrre with hawst, i think the only rom it can be based on is chocolate froyo which still has no working camera.But still be nice to see it work.
MT3G aka Sapphire / Magic is pretty much the same NOT the Slide / Espresso.You can flash Sapphire (32A) roms on your hero and they more than likely boot but have limited hardware working
You sure? I can flash any magic 32a rom on my hero without any porting?

Yes you can with maybe some weird hardware bugs.. Soo my advice, DONT
Yea i wouldnt advise it, i flashed capyseo v7 the other day and it booted but no sound/camera/wifi or network..Im no dev so dont get your hopes up on me porting!
oh well, just trying to keep the hero alive until the Optimus 3D comes out

From what I understand:
a) Hero and Magic have a different camera....
b) The Camera doesn't even work on the magic w/ the capyseo v7 - I assume this one they can fix now that the MyTouch3G got an official sense ROM.
Yea i only flashed it to see if it would boot lol
Right managed to get it to finally flash without errors (WOOP WOOP) but i have no display and had to play with MTD partitions (dodgy) im waiting for firerat to come online so i can ask some Q's about patching mtd before i try anything more risky as i had increased the /system partition to 200 leaving 2mb on cache :/ and 1% space left on /system so untill i can get more i think there is nothing else i can do
On the plus side i managed to release a rom for the espresso lol
Lol, see you are a dev ...just not for hero...yet
I've completed my Alpha,runs smooth! Calls work,sound works,text/sms works,sdcard works need to test wifi and camera!

Great to hear, i'm still switching between sense 2.1 and stock 2.2, 2.3.
I find the sense interface great, but with 2.1 i missing some options that you have in froyo and gingerbread.
I feel the same but cant put my finger on what i like about sense 2.2?? Maybe that it says 2.2!

[Q] How to get Sense 3.0 on Htc Desire hd.Help please!

Hy all.
I just got a Htc desire hd yesterday with stock android 2.3.3 and i dont know a thing about rooting and hacking android(i had an iPhone 3gs before).So i would like to know how can i get the Sense 3.0 (like the one from htc sensations) on my htc? please someone explain this in a simple way,for dummies like me.
Please if someone want to help me.
Thanks.
Search this forum.. There are numerous guides on how to Root your DHD..
hy thanks
but i need to know the steps .... i dont know anything about this kind of stuff...
Hi,
welcome to XDA! You're generally better off asking questions on the Desire HD Q&A thread.
A stock (as in made by HTC) Sense 3.0 rom isn't available yet (if at all) but there are a few custom roms that dedicated teams have made.
Here's what I did to get 3.0 on my DHD - please note that all these steps may not be necessary but they're just what I did. Also I'm pretty sure they'll void your warranty as I think you'll need to root your phone to get a custom rom on there.
Firstly, read up on this stuff as ignorance = bricked device!
I started by looking at the sticky'd threads over on the Desire HD Development forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
specifically M_T_M's roll up thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
which should contain all the info you'll need to back up, downgrade, root, s-off/eng s-off, flash clockwork recovery, wipe and install a sense 3.0 ROM.
I think you'll probably need to downgrade your phone from 2.3.3 to 1.32.405.6 (I could be wrong, but I don't think you can root 2.3.3 - I'm sure if I'm wrong someone in the know will correct me).
This guide seems to cover downgrading -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then this guide is great for flashing a ROM etc -

I'd recommend Virtuous Unity for a 3.0 Sense rom, but there are others out there.
Hope that helps
Good luck!

thanks very much...a very elaborate answer
i will try what u said :d and i have 2 more questions: this whole thing will erase all the content from my phone?(apps contacts etc),and can i come back to original 2.3.3 android if i dont like the sense 3.0 Rom ?

No problem, I know it can be hard if you don't know where to start.
1) Yup, it will erase the content on your phone, but shouldn't erase your SD card.
You can back your contacts up to the SD card through the People application:
people-> menu -> import/export -> export to SD card -> choose account to export.
this will save them as a .vcf file in the root of your SD card, you then reverse the process once you have your new ROM installed.
I think the most popular application to use to back-up your apps is Titanium backup (available from the market), however I think this needs root permissions, so you'll likely not be able to use it (if my previous assumption about not being able to root 2.3.3 is correct). I use a different app called Appmonster which I find better for restoring market links (personal opinion), and I don't think this needs root.
I think it's possible to back up your settings using the above apps, however I'm sure I read that it's not recommended, especially when moving to a sense 3.0 ROM.
Your photos and videos should already be on your SD card, however it might be worth using the (PC) sync software to sync them onto your pc first just in case.
I'm pretty sure you will like your 3.0 ROM, I love the one I'm using. however there are other threads that detail how to restore your phone to stock, I'm sure it's more complex than this (I've not tried it) but I would assume you just flash back a stock ROM. If your handset is network branded you could re-flash either the stock network ROM or a stock HTC ROM - I'd definitely read up on this before attempting it though.
Good luck!
cheers,
Grim
sense will come for dhd like desire s
thanks. again. i will have that in mind.now i am actually reading guides and threads on this forum so i do this right..

THIS IS NOT TRUE, the desire HD will NOT receive Sense 3.0 a good example of this...http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/htc-sense-3-0-will-only-support-sensation-evo-3d-flyer-and-new/
Not officially at least, XDA is full of partial sense 3.0 ROMS, and I'm sure will be quickly growing with more and more full sense 3.0 ROMS
htc does however, state, they may try to work in a few htc sense 3.0 components into some of the other devices.
Thanks button is aways appreciated!

Cool. If you're interested, you could use this as a project to learn development yourself
I actually don't know where to start with a sense ROM. I can compile AOSP from source, but not sure how you get the proprietory files into a sense ROM and get it compatible.
I couldn't even if I wanted to.
Thunderbold = CDMA!?
So i think its really comlicated to port this to an GSM device!?

Well you could use dsixda porting tools to extract the kernel etc from a base rom. This may do the whole job or perhaps part of it.
And there is always CDMA Desire.
