Lol android development section is getting raided by the same question over and over but its ok i like answering this question. We cant port it over until we get a gingersense leak for our incredible and take the kernel from that to actually get sense 3.0 to boot up because up until now we havent booted sense 3.0 or gingersense on our device.
Give it to me straight...so your saying there's a chance? Lol

Of course there is just look at the evo they basically sense 3.0 with everything working except some apps resized but they have the important parts like rosie and lockscreen. We are a little late in the race but once we get our Gingersense leak for the droid incredible i am certain that our devs will have a port for us on that very same day.
Look at it this way, the EVO guys are doing all of our Dev's hardest work for them. 3.0 has been a royal PITA for them, but supposedly Virus has a 99.9% work ROM that he's going to upload at some point tonight.
I cant wait for sense 4.5. Gonna be sick!
I read it somewhere it cant because the file size is too large. I don't know, I just read it somewhere.

Indeed, the Incredible's internal ROM is too small to accommodate Sense 3.0; however, with the advent of things like DualRom, we are able to partition emmc as bootable media, therefore granting 6 gigs of space for any ROM.

We can also shift around partition sizes and make system bigger and take here and there from the other partitions for those who don't want to lose emmc... I've already done it but nobody decided on how much space they needed on system.

I would say we need at least 350mb. Maybe 400. I think we have 250 right now right. The system size on the ruu is 577mb without removing anything. We can shrink it some.

All you have to do is delete the partition table and remake the partitions with a program such as fdisk. AFAIK the internal memory is just one (or two) flash chips that are partitioned off and mounted to separate directories. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's all you have to do.
i tried playing around a bit last night with my doubleshot (espresso 3.0) port on the tbolt, but even symlinking stuff back to /system was giving me issues. granted i didnt try too hard, i didnt have too much time.
who else is legitimately working on it? ive got that and the sensation working on the tbolt, and i have most of the sensation (normal 3.0) resized and working, and itd be easy to get data for the inc, you could have a DD pretty easily. Id like to see what a group of us could come up with

Virus' was 353 on the EVO. He's gotten a hell of a lot working, still probably 3 or 4 releases away from being a daily ROM but for being something that no one said would work, it's a pretty big accomplishment.
BTW, they're running DTA2SD to get around the size issue cause by partitioning the system file that big.

How exactly did you get it to boot on the T-bolt. I've been hearing that you basically need a GB Sense leak and kernel, or to build a kernel from scratch.

That's incorrect. Mtd doesn't work like that, the partition table is passed to the kernel at boot by the bootloader.

Nice, I bet r2 ported a DHD GB leak then and used that to port 3.0. Course I could be totally wrong haha.
Are you going to keep trying to port GB or just wait for a leak?

Has there been any announcement of the official OTA gingerbread for the incredible? I'm coming from the fascinate, so I'm not used to any support, but I heard HTC is really good about updating their phones.
I understand there is a gingerbread rom out, but I think I'm done flashing ROM's on my phones. They seems to cause more problems than they're worth.
Thanks.

No announcement.
But in terms of flashing roms causing trouble?
Not sure how it really can. Directions are easy enough to follow, and nandroid backups are really the only thing that you need to keep in mind.
And cm7 has been pretty good so far, stable, good battery life, etc.
No trouble at all for me.

Almost all of the roms I have played with on my phone are very stable. I have been running Incredibly re-engineered for about 10 to 14 days with no resets or forced closes. Im constantly adding in apps or changing themes and what not. If you want GB pick a rom and go for it.
Well to be honest there is no polished GB ROM.
If you're the type to look for a one-time update, I'd wait a few more weeks.
As for ROM's causing problems.. I've been using SR 3.5 with chad's incredikernel for a couple of months with no problems at all. Battery life is so much better than stock and it runs faster too.
All up to you though, it does take some research to get through all the steps. As long as you take precautions like backing up (takes maybe 2 minutes), the risk is little to none.

Just to answer the question and not start another endless debate... the dev was axed initially for allegedly including warez in a ROM and/or allegedly not crediting the work of others that he used. The subsequent bans were for his creating new accounts to circumvent the original ban. The last time, he undid himself.

I installed it seems pretty good. Got a few questions though I am a relative newbie when it comes to this stuff. There was a GAPPS.zip file with it how do I install that? There is no market and I think that the GAPPS fixes that. It has a meta-inf folder and a system folder inside the zip. Also there is a little Android dude that is looked on the home screen that has little comments is there some way to remove that? Thanks in advance.

OMFGB fo lyfe.
OMFGB is the best ROM I've used. It's close to stock and really fast. I use the newest incredikernel, and it's amazing.
I really like the OMFGB and would like to try it with incredikernel. I have never flashed a kernel. I have a question if I back up my existing OMFGB and decide to go back to it will it have the existing kernel or the new one I flashed? I would guess that since the default kernel was part of the original install it would revert back to that I just want make sure. Also to flash the new kernel I go into recovery,wipe cache,dalvik-cache and then just install the kernel from the sd card zip.
Now that we have S-off (thanks alpharev donations def on the way) and we are working at getting a recovery wouldnt it be possible to port incredible-s roms, since they are almost the exact same phone? Different radios and a few other things? Im not a dev, just wondering if anyone is considering that. Since there are a ton of roms out already for the Inc-S.
Incredible S has official support of CM (no release yet that I'm aware of, haven't checked in a couple days). I don't see why this can't be extended to the I2.

I miss CM7. I had a G2 that I rooted (painstaking root process by hand and terminal emulator) and that was such a great stable rom. I tried a few others MIUI, Mexidroid... ect. All in all CM7 was the best. I would be so happy if they support it. Although I do have to say, im really starting to get used to Sense. Its a really nice interface. If I had to have one, ide take this of stupid motoblur or touchwiz anyday.
I stopped using Sense in lieu of LauncherPro some time ago as that was the environment I was use to while using CM7. Can't wait to get back to CM7 so the bloat is gone and I get the unleash the full potential of my I2.
I would love to see MIUI, I had it on my original INC and I love it. Weekly updates and it seems like they just keep improving it. Very fast and stable. Long way from where it started.
I recently sold my inc and now I'm stuck with a palm pre plus. I was going to hold out for the droid 3 or bionic but if the inc 2 gets cm support I will have a hard time not buying one.

To answer the OP's question. Yes. Incredible S --> Incredible 2 ports will be disgustingly easy.
As a matter of fact, we should be able to make a universal 'patcher' that you can flash after any incredible S rom to make it 100% dinc2 compatible. No porting necessary.
1- Flash Incredible S rom
2- Flash patcher script

Well that would be Incredible (no pun intented)
It's possible it could be that simple. However, I suspect we will need a different kernel and different driver set. I believe our radio hardware is slightly different (I could be wrong on this), as well as filesystem layout.
Of course, we can't know this for sure until the work actually starts. I suspect it'll be easy to port over, but not THAT easy, unfortunately. Considering AlphaRev is using only a slightly modified hboot from the IS for the I2, it very well could be that easy

I disagree on how easy that will be, you will need a different RIL (and associated files, including phone.apk and settings.apk most likely) along with a different kernel.

Everything you mentioned can be done with just a few lines in a patcher. I've done it before. It's not rocket science. And when its done, it can be universally applied to all roms between the two devices. Even a tiny bit of logic to determine source vs sense. (otherwise resulting in two patchers)

Regardless of how many 'lines' a script would be, flashing would be dead simple by the end user. And yes, creating it should be very easy on my end.

You getting all defensive/pissed over such a simple request, is pretty darn funny. Will have to screen shot this one.
While poking and prodding around I found this one click ex2 lagfix for the I9000 and also the Fascinate.. I tried it and it works for our Continuum's also.
Before Lagfix
Quadrant - 1028
After Lagfix
Quadrant - 1770
Antutu Benchmark - 3140
I did not have a chance to test Antutu before I did the lagfix.
Either way here is the link to the file. Make sure you have root, Sammy USB Drivers, ADB, and the latest version of Busybox installed. Turn on USB Debugging and plug your phone into your computer. Unzip the file and double click on 'Lagfixme.bat'.
Follow the onscreen instructions.

As for the memory issues, the default for the Continuum is much higher than many of the other phones. I put together a little "How To" specifically for the Continuum. Just be careful, because I have seen issues with background apps, that I want to keep running, closed by Android. You really have to play with the numbers to see what works best for you. If anyone wants help with this, let me know.
Caio!

It's in my OP here: FIXED! - Froyo ROM "closing" the background apps.
Keep in mind YMMV, I would adjust the settings using AMM (Auto Memory Manager) from the market. Because of the aforementioned problems (yes zipalign helped a little bit), and all the friggin' apps I installed and use, I have actually gone back to the default memory settings. I'll start playing with them again starting this weekend. As a System Administrator, I just can't leave well enough alone... My wife doesn't like it when I mess with my phone because I grumble so much when the thing hoses up... It's my fault, I know... But...
When I had the OG DInc, I was using Conaps "DualRom" multiboot solution and was running 4 or 5 roms on my phone at a time. Which is great for someone like me who loves to flash different roms pretty much daily.
Anyways.... I did a little searching and everything regarding dual or multi booting I could find for the DInc2 generally suggested using BootManager, which is an app on the market and is not free. Call me cheap, or whatever, but I prefer open source and free apps. Back on the OG Inc someone had written a guide on how to do this without needing any fancy app, though it was long and tedious it worked quite well.
Does anyone know of a writeup for our phones for installing multiple roms?
Will ROM manager suit your needs?
I use ROM manger to boot all the ROMS i want. IDK If thats what your asking for but if you want a paid android app then do a google search.

As far as I know, boot manager is the only one that works.

Well if thats the case, then I am gonna try evolving the guide for doing it manually on the DInc to the DInc2.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that hard to go off the guide for the OG DInc. Mostly what would need to be changed is the mount points, assuming they use different mount points on the DInc2.

When I had the OG DInc, I was using Conaps "DualRom" multiboot solution and was running 4 or 5 roms on my phone at a time. Which is great for someone like me who loves to flash different roms pretty much daily.
Anyways.... I did a little searching and everything regarding dual or multi booting I could find for the DInc2 generally suggested using BootManager, which is an app on the market and is not free. Call me cheap, or whatever, but I prefer open source and free apps. Back on the OG Inc someone had written a guide on how to do this without needing any fancy app, though it was long and tedious it worked quite well.
Does anyone know of a writeup for our phones for installing multiple roms?

Yea, 4gb of actual emmc.
VZW told me that my Red DIncII would have 4gb of internal memory. HA!
The only way I can get the emmc to show up on the DIncII is to flash ICS B2.
It shows as a folder with 0.0 bites in size.
I just do it the old fashioned way of wipe n flash...
I was wondering if this script can be used on MIUI on our phones. I know that we were able to run it on the EVO4G but I'm afraid to try it. Any thoughts?
I guess nobody here came from an EVO4G...and those that did don't think its necessary for this phone.
I used it on my EVO but don't see any need for it on this phone, not yet anyway.
Yeah, everyone keeps saying that but I want to try it anyway.

+1. That thing was the greatest thing since sliced bread on my EVO. No more worries about app storage space at all. However with this phone, I've got more apps than I know what to do with and haven't used up 1/2 the space available (840 MB used, 1.1 GB available) for apps so I'm definitely in the "don't think it's necessary camp".
