Hello,
I was just wondering when 4g was going to be fixed for sense 2.0 Roms
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 4g speed determined by the network. I don't think sense has anything to do with it. Sprint and Clearwire just need to step up their game. WHo knows when that will happen wipespread. Hopefully rumors of lightsquared come true.
No, I'm talking about sense 2.0 ROMS that have no 4g, when will it be fixed. Like this rom, it has no 4g because it is from a GSM Device:

oh...I knew that But I read somewhere that (maybe miui thread) that they are holding off until gingerbread in a few weeks to begin working on 4g. Although that aosp im sure the same applies to sense.

I haven't heard any new news on implementing 4g into Sense 2.0 roms. I keep checking every now and then, but no 4g yet. I'm sure its a difficult task, to get 4g to work on a port, that had no 4g to start with. As soon as it works, ill be all over the z roms.

we will have gingersense roms soon, won't need to add it to a z/hd port

I can't wait for gingersense, and hope it is indeed soon! Can't imagine how tough that project must be..
when the E3D comes out there will be a port to the evo, gingersense plus 4g. its gonna be sick
Obviously the best option is for a Sense 2.0 ROM to be officially released for the Evo. We don't know if that will happen.
The next best option is the Evo 3D, as NewZJ mentioned. It will have 4G built in, though we don't know if it will "just work" or pose challenges. There could be some differences in chipsets or other differences between the devices that make porting more difficult, or in the worst case even impossible. But I would expect that they'll get it working.
Failing either of those, it's very challenging. Yes, CM got it, but it's based on open source code. They had to reverse engineer the 4G code, but once they did, they could just add it into CM at the source level. It'd be much more challenging to get it to work when we don't have all the source for a Sense ROM. Still, it could be possible.
One more thing..."fixed" isn't the right word. "Added" would be better. Fixed implies that the developers did something wrong in some way. They ported a ROM that simply doesn't have WiMax as a feature. It's not there, so they didn't "break" anything. Yes, compared to another Sense 1.0 ROM, it doesn't work, but it's not really the right way to look at it.

The Sense 2.0 roms were not made for devices with 4G capabilities. As my friend k2buckley stated, devs ported Sense 2.0 over to Sense 1.0 devices like our EVO 4G. With that in mind, 4G is not broke and thus, there is no need to "fix" anything. What they are trying to do is figure out a way to give Sense 2.0 the ability to use our device's 4G capabilities and that will take some time. Be patient, my friend. Many of the devs have other jobs, families and other commitments.

Well, I read that they already have a pretty good port for the HD2 already (Which is great for that device since a working Android port would really breathe life into it), and I would think that it would be even easier to port to the Evo simply because they are both designed to run Android.
However, I'm not sure there would really be much to gain by doing that, but maybe i'm wrong.

The new HTC Sense looks to be the grand prize from the dump.
I would like to know what dev is going to atleast attempt to port the new Sense or the ROM as a whole.
Mainly, I just want the new Sense.
I honestly don't think we're going to get close to a Desire port until the CDMA or world phone version is launched. It will be a real ***** to port the GSM frameworks to CDMA. It might be possible to get the new sense ripped out of it, but from what I've seen Sense is embedded in both the apps AND the frameworks.

We had the Nexus One AOSP ROM, so I don't think it would be impossible.
Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone was going to port sense for the epic now that the source code is out.
Thanks
I second this, I really want a sense port for the Epic, that would be awesome!!!!
Third here. I'd Never used a Sense UI before but i would love to try it. Looks cool
Fourth here
sent from my Epic 4G
lol, this is turning out to be a request thread. any more people requesting this?
The group of devs who were already in the process of porting sense to the Epic should have a much easier time, if I remember right they were going by Galaxy SENSE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826144
Galaxy Sense, not common sense, lol
Here is the link to the one I found. I hope they continue the project because sense on this device would be just plain awesome!!!!
Yes, it would be hella nice of someone to port the mytouch 4g rom to the epic too
I'd like to have Sense on my phone, as long as the widgets came with it.
im not from this forum but i really want an epic, so ive been watching. But back to my point, why to try to get the evo shift rom? just cuz its 2.2 i think, and already has kb support? is it cuz its sooo much smaller than the epic? sorry if i seem like a super noob lol
Because the Evo shift has nothing in common with the Epic from a hardware standpoint (Different processor, antenna, etc.), it would be like trying to mix Lego's and Mega Blocks
Hmmmm... which Sense ROM would be easiest to port then?????? No HTC Devices have the Hummingbird processor and totally different specs, maybe a Desire Z ROM or something similiar would be good
Everyone was saying when the froyo source came out....
sent from my Epic 4G
They didn't say the next day after, these things take time
do any developers want to partake in this project?
This would be a major achievement for the epic.
Thanks
my opinion, why do u want sense? Its slow on all the incredibles on custom roms and evos, Why not be more creative and use launcher pro and customize everything!
Sense and touchwiz= Bloatware!!
it is not that much slower
Its not slow at al, in fact I see no lag in sense or touchwiz roms. I've never had to wait for an application to open or ever experienced force closes. Sense is highly embedded, from widgets to applications and offers a great user friendly ui. And there's no harm done porting sense, its not like people who don't want it have to use it. You know what I mean?
Should I try requesting this in the development form? Or keep it here till a dev sees? Lol sorry if I'm annoying anyone, I really want to see a sense port
DO NOT REQUEST this in the dev forum, there is already a group working on it and nagging them won't make it happen faster, patience is a virtue.
Ok thanks, but I just want to confirm:
there really is a team already working on porting sense? Sweet!!!
I'm seeing all these ROMS with sense 2.0 that lack 4G and what not... instead of adding 4G to the rom... wouldn't it be easier to try to take sense from a rom and put it on one that already has 4G??? If this questions is dumb don't get smart lol I'm still learning when it comes to this...
I'm not a dev but I'd like to believe it is more to it than that. It's hard enough taking a rom not designed for the EVO and making it work.
gingerbread source has been released for months. and we are just now seeing the first, buggy leak for the evo. it's freaking hard to incorperate sense into a rom. takes months for a team of professional developers to do it. it's not just installing an app.

The problem with roms that have newly leaked gingerbread and sense 2.0 is that htc hasn't released source codes so the devs can't get 4G and in sone cases camera to work. Give them time this is the best group of devs in the world here at xda
I am looking at playing around with porting a sense 3 ROM to this device (Inc 2), mainly for personal use and to see if I have the patience. Does any DEV out there with porting experience have any recommendation on what ROM would be the best to start with?
I would imagine a wvga cdma ROM, but that seriously limits the selection?
Thanks in advance

I've played around with porting, and got them to boot, pretty fun to do.
I'd pick something from the HTC Desire HD

from a straight, getting it to boot and being fairly functional perspective...anything already on the inc s is usually a good bet as there the least amount of changes/edits...granted these are "ports of ports" so there are more quirks..but if you are just doing it for yourself functionality > everything else
but there arent really any (or many) wvga cdma devices you would want to port from...inc1 and rhyme is really it...bolt is lte/cdma and a mess (also only sense 2.1 anyway)
but gsm to cdma isnt really that bad (just some quirks in things like sys ui will call on evdo rather than 3g icons etc)
best devices to port from are desire hd, infuse 4g, runnymede, rhyme, desire, desire s, inc 1...to a lesser degree evo, evo shift, mt4g slide
really if you want an untainted base, try and track down the RUU of what you want to port (its not hard to capture the rom zip and run it through dsxidia's kitchen to get a base to work with)
ive been equal parts enjoying/wanting to pull my hair out with rom ports...its very easy to get them to 75/80% functional, but then taking them to the finish line is another thing...the bliss/mede port i have out was the first i could push closer to complete and felt confident enough to put out and attempt to support
although for the heck of it i started on the latest desire s sense 3 ota and made a 95% functional rom out of it (just camera wouldnt work with ffc...but sense 2.1 camera worked perfect)...so i may end up putting that out..just cuz

really deciphering logcats isnt a quick fix...its mostly just getting familar with what methods are located where..ie in services, policy, etc
it can take a while (i still dont know what im looking at a good portion of the time) to get used to

its just the latest desire s ota...which is native wvga sense 3 (thing along the lines of newts sense 3 rom...but different base)
Thanks nit. I've always admired ya'lls work. If I lose patience I might want to take your desire s ota for a spin Basically what I want to do is create a stock ported ROM (base) for me to play around with to my hearts content.
Looks like It's time to start digging through the logcats to see what I can come up with.
Mind if I pm you if I get stuck? I promise I won't flood your inbox

I came from the Motorola Triumph to the HTC EVO because of the lack of good working roms it has. That's one of the main reasons I bought this phone (HTC EVO 4G) because of all the developments going on for a 2 year old phone. Like for instance the HTC EVO 4g LTE came out are a lot of you users and devs going to that phone? So my question would be is the HTC EVO 4g one of those phones even though its 2 years old is development still going on? How come development is still going on? I'm not saying that i want the devs to stop developing for it and move on the the HTC EVO 4g LTE. I know the EVO 4g came out in like 2010 and yet is 2012 and development is still going on for it. How come is that not saying that I want the devs to stop and move on to the HTC EVO 4g LTE. Also I know how to port roms so will the roms on HTC Desire HD and HTC EVO 3D work on this phone are there any special mods needed to be done? Oh and one more question do all of HTC EVO 4g ICS have camera(s) working or is it just the back?
I don't know if you've a question or statement in that jumble, but yes, development is still going on. Many of the current devs are working on ICS, there is a sense 4 alpha floating in the development section. in addition, there are also new gingerbread builds being re-worked.

Well that helps. You can attempt to port the desire to the evo, but you'll need some additional things to make it work, I believe. Also, all the ICS roms have the rear camera working; no ICS Evo rom has the front facing camera [ffc] working.
Okay I cleared it up a bit. Should be easier to understand now.
