CDMA Hero Devs have a Working AOSP FroYo ROM - Port?

Can a dev port it over?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686893
We don't want to be behind the CDMA Hero...

now that would be great, but tbh we've been behind the CDMA hero for ages lol

Arrgh! At villainrom they're almost ready to release a 0.1 version of Froyo for GSM Hero! But...COME ON! They keep saying they can't get the mic working...When on CDMA EVERYTHING works except for GPS and Camera (the same problems we had with the first 2.1 cooked roms). I really hope they decided to release an ALL-WORKING version...Otherwise...I don't know what to think...

No Devs want to work together.
So they always can not get everything working at the sametime.

Froyvillaino.1 we have been waiting for since just after robin ported n1 FR50...Prepare to wait a whil elonger i think!

I am working on a Cronos Froyo build also. Fully compiled from the 2.2 sources.

I, I, I...Guys I really don't want to shoot out advices...But it wouldn't be so bad if you all share your efforts to create a unique solution a.k.a. ROM! I really believe in the team-work!

I completely agree. It would be much better to work together in getting the hardware working and then to split off to do your own roms based on that.
Lots of devs = lots of features!

The rom it links to is FOR CDMA HEROS.
Your Hero is A GSM HERO.
DO NOT FLASH IT!
Never flash a rom if it's not for your phone. Sorry to shout but this is the No. 2 cause of bricking (Behind impatient users during radio flash)

Teamwork means NO competition. Here its all about competition - who will be the 1st to release most stable, coolest, capable ROM on xda. Its like a gang wars.
edit: and I like it, have more ROMs to try

I like the competition, what I'm taking about is devs getting together to get froyo running, then splitting off to make their own roms.

I think the devs can better work alone and share their work so other devs can play with it and make things better. We're saying that a community rom is better, but we havent seen one? There are tons of official 2.1 roms here, who needs all those. A froyo rom is much more interesting and as you can see, the cdma guys are really far, and maybe you, devs, can port it. Good luck.

thing is - if nobody has gotten the mic working yet, then nobody will get it working if they sit together and try to figure it out.
I would think it's like that anyway.
I know that more minds working together are better than fewer. however the mic not working cant' be a simple problem if nobody has worked it out yet. I know that not all rom builders are actually programmers - many are just really comfortable with computers and with the linux os and so on. but still, with source code available, a programmer who's comfortable with that source code (and I acknowledge that I'm not - and I'm a middle aged senior software developer... but much of the android source I've glanced through so far is unreadable to me LoL...).. anyway, so if a programmer who's comfortable with that code could peruse it for a while they might well be able to solve the problem. But what I really expect is that it will take google releasing a working mic library for froyo for hero gsm piece of the puzzle somehow - maybe an internal google person building it for the community and releasing it anonymously, that has happened in the past I would guess.
so it could take time.
but maybe some genius with the android source like cyanogen will take the time and have the know how to solve the mystery. surely the hero is the #1 android phone still out there...
judging from the community here it seems really popular still.
and to think, I just got a hero a few months back (and one for my wife) because they were only $25 at future shop when we renewed our accounts and we wanted iphones but couldn't afford them LoL
if I'd known anything about android then I'd have been all over these babies without a second thought - instead I had to research and took a leap of faith that the future shop guy was steering us in the right direction (thank you future shop guy - or I mean, former future shop guy (he doesn't work there any more)!
cheers

Would you be disappointed if...

With all the work this community has gone into getting Android to work on the TP2/Tilt2, would you be disappointed or upset if HTC developed and released a full featured and functional Android build for the TP2/Ttilt2

No, more like excited. Seeing as that's what all this work has gone into trying to accomplish in the first place. lol

Bah! I can't vote right on my own poll...
I can't wait for full Android on this or my next phone whoever makes it.

why would i be disappointed? it would give more access for the devs here to work with.

I would hope that HTC worked with the xda developers to create an android rather than voiding all the existing work.
However if HTC did release one I bet it would solve many of the problem the xda guys have had and would enable them to finish alternative flavours of Android for the TP2.
Either way having android for the TP2 would be just awesome whoever cracks it.

I vote yea because I am not an end user, all these end users probably voted no because they would just be satisfied that theres a working build, but they give no credit to the people that have taken time out of their lives to get something working that a lot of people would have no idea how to do. and yet the devs get no credit...

I want to dump my phone for android based phone.

I think even the devs would love it, because they could then focus their efforts on modding and creating apps which they are really good at and really enjoy instead of backward engineering what has already been done.

I wish...
I wish they would, but it probably won't happen. I'm sure there is already a strain on the HTC-Microsoft relationship because most (if not all) of their new high-end devices are Android based, with the exception of the HD2 (which isn't really new anymore). I'm sure HTC is developing WP7 devices but most of their focus right now seems to be on Android. If they release an Android build for a WinMo device, Microsoft will probably throw a fit. I'm sure HTC wants to do it to spike sales and increase the "lifespan" of the Rhodium, but it would not be in their best interest. However, if there are any HTC engineers and such listening, please feel free to "leak" unofficial 2.1 or 2.2 builds to the geniuses here. 3.0 is welcome as well...

I would love it, but please, don't get my hopes up.

i wouldnt be BUT i do realize the hard work and effort the devs. have made on this project. im sure it would make things easier for devs. then they could focus on modding and apps.

i will never ever turn on the freakin window-mo......more and more and more then happy if Htc release the official Android 3.0 a.k.a. Gingerbread build

HTC would never do this. So the hypothetical question shouldn't even be answered.

I think i would go buy it.

I would like to see a rom with android and wm working as one but back to the question u would have to think about money they would make with people switching n buying another htc phone with andriod but I do think they should lend an helping hand with getting the sound to work

Tri-Boot Your Evo

The fact that the HD2 can boot Android, WinMo6.5, and Windows Phone 7 makes me mad and jealous.
I don't know how many of you there are out there that would like to have the ability to run anything but android on our phones. I agree, Android is superior and is amazing and all, but I get bored sometimes and before you tell me to flash a new ROM... in the end they're all Android. Why not have the ability to flash different OPERATING SYSTEMS onto our phone? I mean hey, if the HD2 can do it so can we!
I understand there is a great deal of work involved in all of this but I'm sure there are others out there like myself who would enjoy such a feature. I created this thread in order to bring those people together so maybe we could find a few developers interested in getting this going.

Well there is a dualboot project underway by a developer Uncorupted. Right now its between 2 android roms, but its still progress.
P.S. you might get flamed for posting here.

Would be nice to try. Good luck!

I've been following the dual boot project and it's definitely something I'm going to make use of (Running CM and a Sense rom... what's better than that?), but at the same time I know there's a handful of people who are interested in running winmo or windows phone 7 on their EVO. This is an amazing piece of hardware and I think it'd be great if we could figure out a way to make more things work on it.

The dev support for the HD2 is superior to the EVO because of its worldphone (GSM) capabilities. Although it would be awesome to have the choices, I doubt it will ever happen on a Sprint device.

It kinda sucks because I feel like the phone has so much potential if it were running on more OS's

MikG/Synergy/Sense 3.0 ports...The End Of The Line???

So with the release of the EVO 3D will these be the last of the great roms in the EVO Dev forums???? I personally don't think there's anything more that can be done rom wise.....What do you guys think??? I know CM7 will always keep us on the latest version of Android but some of us love sense.......

No, there will be ports of the Evo 3D for the Evo; some of the developers are still supporting it.

The roms will run out when they cant fit on our evos anymore, but if the devs around here dont get too sidetracked with newer phones (i wouldnt blame them ) im sure will have new roms with new features for a while, at least I hope so

There right now is a title wave of activity going on...we have xyz developers going to the evo 3d and others are not...let things settle down and the air will clear...will we have upgrades for roms..the safe bet is of course. Cm will improve and so will sense..and android..as they move..so will development..the major concern now is the rooting and locked bootloader for the 3d..and they will get it..via xda or htc..(I hope). However ther will be a limit to how much because of the hardware limitations of out current evo...that many of the ports cannot be done.

One nice thing is that some devs have decided to make one Rom for multiple phones. Synergy will be running on 4 different devices when all is said and done. And we won't lose cyanogen support for a while.

i'm not a dev but i just have a question

i just want to know why aosp roms are hard to develop for a phone like this one. the official samsung developers start with the aosp then build tw on top of it right?? is it not as easy as stripping touch wiz and the bloat ware than run what you have left.
NO I'M NOT A DEV BASHER I APPRECIATE ALL YOU GUYS DO I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND PROGRAMMING SO I'M SORRY IF I OFFEND ANYONE.

It is not as easy as you think .....imagine you having windows and having to make your own drivers for all the components .....tw is built into android and symlinked all over when you remove things you have to remove what it was going to do in a way . They are not close to being the same. It is also very hard to get things working the right way and not just throw something together ... if its not fixed right it will break other things in different phones ... CM is on over 50 different devices

ah ok thanks. def far beyond this guys hands :/ thanks devs

Actually most elements of TouchWiz can be replaced with AOSP versions as it isn't as much integrated as Sense is on HTC phones.

I just want to add one thing or question to this. Why is it so hard to get the Bluetooth straight so you can use a wiimote and other bluetooth devices? That is really the only thing I wanted to ever use AOSP for. I would gladly donate to whoever corrects that.

There are both cm and miui roms for this phone. People just choose not to use them because aosp Wimax drivers are hard to come by.

Usually aosp roms are compiled from source, and the stock roms use a lot of proprietary libraries that need to be put into an aosp rom manually. Some may have compatibility issues, etc.

Also when Samsung orders parts for there phone such as chipsets radios and other parts. They get support from the manufacturers of the various parts and arm and maybe support from Google with also support documents to go along with them and they have an army of developers
