[Q] Porting - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to learn how to port a rom or maybe someone can help me with this. Im on MetroPCS with the Evo so we have a few problems. One which really annoys me is online streaming apps like pandora dont work with evo firmwares. they either skip songs after 15 secs or dont play at all. So i had tried a Desire Z ported rom and it works fine with that just too many bugs in the port and so i was thinking of maybe porting a rom from the Incredible. The Evo and Incredible are pretty similar so i thought maybe this would work. I dont care about 4G since even though metropcs is getting 4G its going to be LTE. So can anyone help me out? or maybe u can help me figure out why the online streaming apps dont work correctly with HTC Evo roms? Maybe a Logcat can give u some insight.

Request: METROPCS ROM for Samsung Epic

hi guys can anyone please try to make a rom for metropcs that will have everything working like internet/ picturemail just after flashing the rom and updating the APN ????
i am willing to donate to whoever willing to help making this happen
thank you guys
You don't need a rom,. And all of the information about the carrier and device is not inside the roms. You should probably take a look at other threads about changing the phones carrier.

I have never seen an epic 4g in metropcs with web working, and as long as I know, there is currently no know way to do it.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!!
Moved to Q&A.
I was wondering if anyone could post a walk through on how to flash the Epic 4G to Metro PCS? Seems like the only phone that doesn't have one. I don't care how, video, text, whatever. I'm trying to save myself $140 bucks.
try this

Modding a rom

I have been using OMGBv6 and I like the ROM. I have recently learned how to customize ROMs'by using the guide at The Unlockr. I have a few questions. Do I need permission to use someone else's ROM? Can I just use a stock ROM from any device (i.e. nexus s) and port it to my device. I was not sure if there would be complications going from GSM to CDMA. The video recording is broken in OMGB. I would like to work to fix that. Can someone point me in the direction of how to fix this? I thought this should go in the development section. Sorry if not.
If you are modding things for yourself, you don't need permission. If you are using another ROM to make your "own" to put up, then you def need permission. When in doubt, ask. As far as the fix you are looking for, I have no idea, someone else will have to lend their input.
This will be just for myself. I love Vanilla ROMs and can not seem to find any. Hopefully I can get some help with the other stuff.
Check your inbox i sent you some info

HTC Incredible OMGB 2.3.1
I have been to his site. I am interested in building my own roms. Not from scratch but for personal use. But thanks
Im sure, if its for personal use and your not trying to pass it of as yours and post it, you should be ok to mod others rom for yourself. Just think of it this way. Google made the os htc made sense and everyone is modding there stuff and releasing it. IMO
Sent from my sexy assistant. (HTC Incredible)
I am just going to use his rom and mod to my liking. I do not plan on releasing to anyone else. Does anyone know if I can use the stock rom from a nexus s and use on my incredible.
I'm not a dev, but pretty sure you can't. The rom is hardware specific. Even porting a rom from the evo, which is very similar to the inc, takes a lot of work.

I was just using the nexus as an example, I am trying to learn this stuff and am using the kitchen to mod roms to my liking. Any info on fixing things broken on roms such as the recording in omgb
Just as an example. Ruby 2.0 puts a percentage in the battery icon, if I wanted to change the verizon wireless text to something else. Change a lock screen. Simple mods to a rom.

[Q] Thunderbolt Port to Evo?

I know there's threads already about this, but I still haven't found any actual port of the Thunderbolt. I know there isn't no HDMI, and it's not the same at the Evo. The reason why I bring this up again, is if there was a Thunderbolt ROM out there, maybe the leaked Skype w/ video app would work?? Just a random thought.
As far as I know, there are none. If interested, browse the development section, find a rom you like the style of, and then pm the developer and see if they could consider porting it. And I personally think more people will downplay skype with video, now that gtalk has video working, but just my take.

[Q] [Request] Sprint VVM for Gingerbread

Ok, so I have been lurking XDA for a long time, and I finally have an issue I cant find resolution for. I recently flashed from Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 (Excellent job Flipz) to a Gingerbread port by Virus (again, outstanding job) but my Sprint VVM is acting up, even after retrieving it from the Evo Gingerbread leak and doing the TI Backup trick. Does anyone have an apk for Sprint VVM T.5.1.0.60?
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
Check the gapps from the EVO-Deck roms, you can extract it from there and give it a try. Link is on my sig
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I can do without 4G, since we dont have it yet in Phoenix, but the lack of VVM was almost a dealbreaker here.
Not to discourage anyone from visiting Deck's excellent page, but I think the link that takes you to what the OP is requesting in a single click is http://www.mediafire.com/?136t28isl75zdgl
No worries, the apk I was looking for was there in both cases.

Any reason you're not posting this on SDX? Would seem like a good morale boost to let the CM6 guys know you've got CM7 work started.

I no longer have my account there.
send a msg when you need a tester . i usually have data always have wifi . glad to help . keep up the good fight
Hope this keeps going. When I had my moment and my transform, I seen you around sdx a lot. I learned so much there but I haven't checked in there in a while since I got my evo3d. My wife has my old transform now but she's almost up for a new phone. I'll def do some testing for yah when I she upgrades, or maybe before then if data gets going first!

Well, at least Joseph Mother is developing somewhere. Very little happens on SDX anymore... This is wwjoshdew, and I helped you get that Moment or whatever it was with the donation!
Good for you mate! Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Our Samsung Epic forums has an outstanding CM7 crew. They got it from alpha to official in like 3 months. Uberpenguin, noobnl, and decad3ence to be specific.
Keep it up! Will definitely be using this,
I have a Samsung Intercept .... been playing with different ROM's and config's as it takes the 'perfect combo' to have everything you want on this phone. But I don't have another phone to use when I play with this one...... I would be willing to test when the ROM has less 'not working' componnents..... Let me know and GOOD LUCK as us Samsung Intercept users and being left behind with different options...THX
Do you have an svn and would you like help developing the ROM? I have an old intercept lying around. I upgraded a while back so it doesn't matter if I mess with it.
