Can someone port this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974481

This would be cool.
Shouldn't be much of a problem because the hardware of the wildfire s is pretty much the same as this phone

*Prays a dev takes on this project*
im a total noob to development but i decided i would at least give it a stab.
but looking into the build.prop, it looks like its not going to be easy to port. the build.prop is saying its for an hdpi phone "ro.product.locale.language=hdpi"
im going to continue playing around in the kitchen and see what happens though
Edit: Im not sure why it said hdpi there. looking at the build.prop on cyanogenmod in says 'en' which made more sense since that line looked more like language. still unsure what im looking at though :/ lol

Awesome that you are trying!
We got yer back.
The wildfire's res is 240x320 which is QVGA, not the same like our phones.
So it is like the htc tattoo which was hard to port since the res was lower than the 320x480 used at that time.
Yes the OG Wildfire is QVGA but the Wildfire S is HVGA...actually the Wildfire S is almost the same phone as ours but without the keyboard. Same res and same processor (if I remember correctly).

interesting.
Is it possible to get htc flash lite frameworks from Wildfire S and mix it in CM7? That would be the best ROM ever. I don't need Sense ui, all I want is flash as it used to be back on 2.1 stock fw
no progress...i was going to work on it this morning at work (slow day) but linux is not booting after the update i got last night (dual boot). so instead im reconfiguring my computer and re-setting up ubuntu
I'm patient.
There's another hvga/same hardware phone out. Its called the htc salsa, I believe it has android 2.4 sense. It would be cool to get that rom

Yeah it has FB button plus same specs as us...Excluding addition of BT 3.0 instead of 2.1(corr if MTS has 3.0 BT).
Yes but that one won't be out for some time since 2.4 won't be released til May. The Wildfire S Rom is out now and is based off 2.3.2 AND has Sense 2.1 on board. It'll be a huge source for things to use in Sense and Non Sense Ginger Roms. Plus Wildfire S is supposed to launch with 2.4 as well.
Finally got linux running on my pc again and had to start porting (attempting) from scratch. I did everything i could think of then signed and flashed it. Good news is, it installed. Bad news is that got boot loops. I'll work a little more with it and do some more research and see if any progress can be made.

If you need testers...I'm in...ya may want to post a thread in our dev forum for this?
Just a thought.
I'm excited now.
Dont get too excited. i need to get the rom to boot first lol. If i get it booting, then i'll upload it and people can test if they want. But im hoping a dev with porting experience can help me out. Im a self taught noob rom porter
Thx for the encouragement though

Houston, we have lift-off! I got it working! Testing everything right now to see what works and what doesnt. Only drawback is that HTC has a watermark that is constantly on the screen. It doesnt make it impossible to see what your doing, its just annoying. Will make sure thats one of the first things to be fixed.
Does the sense launcher work in landscape mode now?

I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...

I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.

I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.

Check the dev section. Im trying to pull together a dev team to port a modded froyo to phones that havent had a mention of froyo, and the dinc, desire, and evo. If there is one dev left, the slide is saved, if not, i gotta pick up official support for the slide.
More info on the rom can be found on www.incredibleroms.com/jdkoreclipse. Dont download from the link there, as it is the driod incredible version.
I will not let this phone go without devs.

Imma try. Im on xda alot, so i have lots of time to get this going. If worst comes to worst, i will maintain the port. So, you are getting a de sensed froyo woth some cool mods. Its not vanilla, and not sense. I really like the slide, and will dev for it. I already dropped official support for the evo, but may need to pick that one up too.
No phone should be without devs

Friggin delays on jdfroyo. We are still worrking on it.
No phone left behind
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.
That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
Sent from my MR1 V4 Remix 3G using XDA App
I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.

There is some update in this section being talked about but from what I can gather its stuff that has been fixed or only applys to espresso rom. In other words not froyo... but it did state and interesting addition that will be useful to all roms: the ability to use mms/sms over wifi.
I know screen sizes are different, but as there is an app that changes the display density, i thought a couple files could be edited for a port of the MyTouch 4G to our Slide.
If it takes time to find out, could you guys at least tell what must I have to know to port a rom, and info about configurations of screen density.
Thanks, I hope for someone to reply, I really wish this can be possible, and others to enjoy it too if it can be done.

It can be extremely difficult to fix the images. It's not just a simple resize, as the aspect ratios are different as well. It all depends. The mytouch 4g has a completely different hardware base. It probably wouldn't work. If you want a mytouch-style ROM why not just use the rooted stock ROM?

Yes, I've seen the videos. It wouldn't work, the hardware is not the same and a lot of hardware is tied into the OS.
For example, it has apps having to do with the front facing camera, which the slide does not have. It has elements having to do with the fm radio, which it doesn't have, and of course, elements having to do with HSPA+, which we don't have. I imagine that if you even tried, not only would it not appear right, it would crash all the time.

I mean, it's POSSIBLE, but it probably would not look too great, after HOURS of work resizing images and de/recompiling APK's for the 9patches. It would probably have stability issues with the drastically different hardware, in fact, it's armv7, we're armv6, it may not even work, but replacing the kernel may fix it. I really don't know, but I don't think anyone is gonna pounce on the opportunity.

Yea, and I just checked more about its UI, I really thought it was like Sense of the HD Desire and a blend of Espresso.
Just the stock rooted rom is like MyTouch 4G,
Sense UI from HD Desire would be worth the attemp... But I guess that's a way different hardware so... :/

Yeah I've gotta get home so I can try this thing has me excited. I think it'd pretty much negate the need for pyramid and such tho, not that its a bad thing.
So how is HTC accomplishing this? In a similar fashion to our hacks for sense 3 or a complete overhaul altogether?
And anyone running, which apks aren't there?

I would imagine since HTC has their own source to work with, its not too difficult to build scaled versions of it/versions made specifically for the phone. I was hoping since HTC did it with the Desire that they may make one for the Dinc2 itself.... but that may not happen. We can dream though This Rom will definitely be the next best thing to an official HTC release. Keep on with the great work Newt!

I was thinking the same thing. I don't see why not. Droid incredible has as good if not better hardware.
Of course I also wonder what sense is going to turn into once ice cream sandwich comes. Since ice cream sandwich will have a lot of the things that sense has inherently (ability for scrolling widgets, etc.)
Just makes me kinda sad. That HTC was all "you'll never see sense 3 on this phone" and the devs put that much effort on just for HTC to change up LOL.

Tried this rom out to compare to the other 3.0 roms that are available to us...
I like what I have seen so far. It does seem pretty responsive, and I had no FC's.
Besides the issues already mentioned above, I found that the included SU binary on the sd card doesn't work (when trying to flash through recovery, it say's "Bad")
Couldn't get SU to work, which isn't a big deal considering what this rom is.
Thanks for posting this Newt I'm looking forward to you having the official rom to work with
So now that CM7 is official and nearing from my opinion a completion and MIUI is being worked on and becoming more stable I was just curious on what others had to say about a Sense Rom. I know it's been talked about before and ports have been released on here but they never seemed to kept being worked on. So is their any chance a Sense Rom(even sense 2.0 or 2.1)would be considered as a next project to try and run on this Phone or is it something that simply cannot be achieved?
Just curious don't flame me lol

Yeah me too I mean i thought MIUI was never going to be ported let alone ever stable but with its newest release today it fixed the big issues...along with CM7 i.e. Wimax. I came to sprint in May and this Epic 4g is my first phone with them(bought it cause it had a big enough screen and a keyboard) and prior to that on T-Mobile with the HD2,MYtouch 4g and 3g slide...I've always had HTC but took the risk of switching thinking that this phone would easily have a sense rom..huh I really hope someday it would be successfully ported on this awesome phone
There was some sense development going on awhile ago by Xboxfanj. I think he's still working on it, but his time might have been occupied by getting MIUI stable enough to be a RC.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
well now that miui is RC and stable (enough)..hopefully him and other dev's will look into seeing if sense can be worked at. I know CM9 might be next after CM7 is finished but hopefully besides that this will be under consideration..It would be awesome if it worked
Ok I'm gonna start working on this again. Wish me luck.

I would dare say the EVO is legendary in its own right. It was the first 4G phone on Sprint, and was pretty revolutionary for its time and the first EVO in a line of good handsets to carry that name. The phone had a ton of development for it, and it still has support to this day. The biggest problem is the lack of driver support for both WiMax and the FFC, as I've already mentioned.

I am purchasing a new LCD and digitizer for my evo 4G (supersonic) since the screen got destroyed right before I bought my Evo 4G LTE (jewel). I wanted to see if there were any plans for a kitkat ROM for the evo 4G because I recently installed android 4.4.2 on my roomate's kindle fire and it runs amazing! I heard Google was trying to make kitkat run better on older devices. I think 4.4.2 could be great for the Evo 4G. I have high hopes that when I fix this phone someday there might be a 4.4.2 ROM available. I miss this device and the community that came along with it. Can't wait to get back into playing with this device again haha.

Biggest thing holding back kk is lack of a recovery that can properly flash it. I know of one guy who has already built kk but can't get recovery working.

Meaning it'll require a SE Linux enabled recovery, correct?

How hard would that be to implement? Is it possible?

I have no idea, honestly. I wouldn't think it would be all that hard, but I don't know what's involved with it.

At any rate, I'm willing to test such a ROM and recovery if they're ever created. I've got an inactive EVO that I've recently been feeling the itch to ROM.

I saw that the HTC HD2 which is basically the GSM version of this phone got a kitkat rom and I was wondering if this phone would get a kitkat rom...

I am STILL rocking a Evo 4g but running 4.1.2 Rom (for the Google NOW experience) and love it. Just got a second one and playing around with some Sense Roms that will have everything working. Some (Jellybread 1.4 for example) are very well designed with a Holo look and feel.
I don't see why it should be too hard to 'skin' a Sense theme to bring you Kit Kat goodness!!!

Is there any new updates on the CM 11 kitkat Rom unofficial? I've been itching to try this out and see the improvement on the OG EVO. I really want to see if kitkat can really run smooth on a low spec device. I've had a few JB ROMs that ran decently smooth.. with over clock at least.
I was trying to build a recovery with SELinux enabled for this, but it was too large. I read that I could probably change the compression to make the kernel smaller, but never got around to doing it, as my newer devices took precedence. I don't even remember where I left off with it, to be honest .

If you ever find it, I'm ready to test it.

If you do end up looking into it and need testers, I just successfully replaced the LCD and Digitizer on my OG Evo. It is ready to flash whatever I throw at it
