Hello to all.
My question is very simple but I think is impossible, however I ask
Is possible to have dual boot for two Roms?
For example I have opendesire and nextsense and when I want play game I boot opendesire and for all day I have nextsense.
It's possible?

perhaps make a nandroid backup for both roms and flash whichever one you wanna use? i know it's pretty troublesome but just throwing it out on the table. lol.
Thanks for answer!
I thought this but is very annoying and not fast solution
Is the only choise?

as far as my limited knowledge knows, this is the only method. but if anyone else has got a better solution, i'm all ears.
It can be done, Kendon of TeamVillain made one for the Hero via a modified (he did it) recovery, I will find you the thread and post it here.
You will need to port it to work on Desire though, might not be an easy task.

I'm not a Android programmer.
I'm an webdeveloper but I suppose that it's not enough
Any idea to make this porting?

Speak to kendon direct on that forum if you want, just sign up and pm him he is usually more than happy to help.
he knows what he did to make it work better than anyone so he would be best placed to tell you what you need to do to get it on the desire.
Is Kendon a name of an user?

HTC Wildfire S has ARMv6 processor, and MIUI is made for phones with ARMv7 processors.. So no MIUI for us

That's nonsense.
its not about the processor......its about the HUGE resizing which is main pain in the butt..........you do know ICS is meant for ARMv7 and above processors but it is running quite smooth on my friend's Wildfire.....
MIUI is the most good looking rom for any android phone. It would be great if we manage to port it to hdpa screen.

My mistake, didn't know that MIUI is open source now.. but just like csoulr666 said.. there is huge resizing and it requires lot of knowelge about programming.. it would be great if somebody ports it to ours wilfire s
First Miui ROM coming soon
I did it, I worked about 20 hours to port miui onto our phones
Alpha test comes soon!
I wont port it to WFS, I hate resizing, I had it to do a lot already in HenseMod for the custom theming.
For MIUI there's also a special framework, like htcresources.apk, which makes it difficult to port to WFS.
However, I've got some things in my mind and on my mac, expect end next week a flashable zip for CM7 users to turn your phone into MIUI.

Mine's an A510a and it's GSM with SIM.
Could this be the reason why porting to metro pcs phones requires more work? Or is this just a little miss understanding?

I really don't know, as I don't do much developing. I leave that to the pros.
However, I am willing to test anything on this phone just to get rid of HTC Sense. I have an LG Optimus M I can always fall back on.
I will also say that MetroPCS is a CDMA only carrier, and the original WFS required a SIM card and ours does not. Maybe they got HTC to modify the phone for them?
But the phone manual says its an A510a. insink made a MetroPCS stock ROM with a2sd support and that's what I'm currently using, and it was even labeled for A510a only.
Ill be kinda upset if I just bought a phone that's impossible to develop ROMS on lol
Sent from my HTC-PG762 using XDA App
Apologies. I just left the MetroPCS store, paying my bill. I inquired about my phone being an A510a. They told me that my phone manual isn't correct, and that it is indeed an A510c.
Again, I was misinformed. And I apologise.

TBH this forum seems a bit lonely... and my EpicParts question was easily abandoned
Whatever, greetings and happy new year to every one out there!
Today I happen to dig out a Sense 4 ROM for our E4G which boots, doesn't reboot THAT often and is resized well (what, you want links? I think that's a private workspace and maybe I shouldn't tell). But what bugs me most is that SystemUI (statusbar) always FCs for no reason and I can't do anything with that.
So here I got a HTC Incredible S ("vivo", which is the port base for our Sense 2.1 ROM) with a fully-functional Sense 4.1 build. Everything's working and things are better sized for WVGA. And it's smooth. Considering it's a single core device, I think there is already no obstacle blocking the port (I know that Sense4All project paused because One X is a quad core device and gets all sorts of reboots. Correct me if I'm wrong).
Thus, I wanna ask, as a non-coding noob:
1) Is porting process the same as common tutorials (copying frameworks, libs, etc)?
2) If not, is this even possible (to have Sense 4.1 ported from vivo)?
3) If not, again, what can I do to improve my current build on hand (i.e. simply stopping the SystemUI FC and maybe adding more HWA)? I don't intend to use the ROM as a daily driver... Just a tool for showing off
So... Thanks again for reading the thread and hope you can offer some guidance

If there was a stable version of Sense 2.1 or 4.0, it would be my daily driver. I really hope this project isn't abandoned.

2.1 is already very usable apart from BT (nah I don't use that), but many devs have already left or are silent. Must be with their new toys. That's why I'm trying to help. If I had time in winter vacation I'll try a bit, but hope not too high
And so I need some guidance and answers... Please. Even one answer will do.

I do want to, but I'm not a code dev and know almost nothing except that "brute-force" porting method, and I don't know whether that will work.
I mean, here I got a fully working Sense 4 build on a SINGLE-CORE device, so is this a proof that porting to us is also possible?

You ported sense 4 to an htc phpne which is much easier than porting it to something not even close to compatible with the hardware so it will be more difficult

But... I said
1) We HAD a now paused project that has ported Sense 4 and made it boot
2) I have a better Sense 4 base ROM (for our device, not HTC's) at hand with fewer random FCs
3) xboxfanj said that the port reboots because One X is quad core, and the ROM will keep searching for the extra cores. But IncS is single core and runs that beautifully (its port is based on One V and Desire X)
And that's why I'm seeking answers.

Part of the problem is that we couldn't port qualcomm roms which would be stable if they booted, but we never got it booting. Tegra is all intercoded into libs and looks for kernel files we don't have which causes it to reboot and be unstable.

To be honest, we never quite figured it out. We never got a proper logcat, since it only gave us unhelpful information, which means it doesn't even start to fully boot.

And this means all my expectes efforts should be in vain, huh?
But check this, I got a Sense 4 ROM from marcusant's site and it's a port from Desire Z, based on One V seemingly. So far apart from all the hardware issues (wifi, cam, sensor), only thing that prevented me from sticking to it is that SystemUI often FCs. And I think that is another base to start on, since IT'S QUALCOMM.

Is that so? There are two items in About Phone indicating phone model. One of them says "HTC One V", which I think is the port source, while the other says "HTC Desire Z", which is the device ported to I assume. I know that these can be modded, but why the hell does anyone take the trouble to mod it to Desire Z when we are Epic 4G? Thus I think it's a Qualcomm port.
Have you looked into it yet? Or maybe it's really your work and you know about it?

As the thread title insinuates, will the stock android version on the HTC ONE, when its released in the US have any practical benefits for us HOX owners as well? Wonder if dev's would be able to borrow anything from that system.

Just try cyanogen mod its the same. And with tweaks.

Past Devs already confirmed it would be useless even trying for XYZ reasons. I don't see what benefits we could get from it.
Now what I would like to see for Wildfire is a working sense3 port.
But tbh I'm just happy to see people are still using the Phone and people such as you are still Deving & theming

I'll try look into sense 3, i know people been waiting a while for the sense 3.5
So i'll try to make one, also we may need a new kernal for the sense 3.5, because the current is in ok condition, but not stabler enough :/
Going to see if i can fix all the issues myself :good:
hmmm, sense 3,5 won't work good. maybe try to play around sense 2.1 first (;

It won't work good, because almost all the apks in the ROM are not ldpi and not compatible with the device, although i'm looking into this further more in development.
I'll try to compile sources from different devices with sense 3.5 which have some ldpi compatible features
