ROM radio question

Hi everybody,
The HTC triumph who should be the same phone as the HTC desire will be release in a few week I was wondering if i update the Rom radio of my desire with one in the HTC triumph, is it allow me to have access to 3g . Indeed the only difference between the 2 phone are the 3g frequencies.
Thanks for your answers.

first of all i highly doubt it, porting radios over sounds like brick heaven to me, more importantly why on earth would you want to do that?

Hi,
I used to live in France and I bought a HTC Desire there.
I moved to canada and the my phone works well except I can only use Edge. I checked the specs and I saw the frequencies are different between french operators and canadian ones. (I also have a HTC Kaiser who works well on the 2 networks, I do not understand why....)
So I am wondering if there is any solution to make HTC Desire working with 3g here or am I stuck with Edge ? It is not a big problem but it is a little bit slow.
Thanks for your help

I think you're talking about 850mhz vs 900mhz? If so, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here) it's a matter of hardware, so there's really nothing you can do about it. :/

Best to install the latest Radio Update from the Android Development section and see if that is any better, flashing the Radio from a different ROM IS a fast route to bricking

Yes it exactly my problem.
So I will try latest Rom as you suggest. I hoped this was a matter of drivers not hardware

Wildfire S differences

I was wondering what the differences were in regards to model numbers.
My phone info states that I have a
HTC Wildfire S a510b
But I have seen others which differ.
Will this pose any problems or special requirements when I want to S-off, root, etc my phone?

Hm I don't really know. All I know is that I have an e version and that it works with just about any rom. You could test and find out though, and then report back to the developer saying if it works on your phone type or not.

Is your phone s-off? if so how did you get it?

HTC Wildfire S (A510B) – NextG and 3G
HTC Wildfire S (A510E) – 3G only?
HTC Wildfire S (A510B) – NextG only
From what I read on another forum, those are the only differences.

Actually, I have an A510e too. But no Overclockable Kernel ist working for me.
I Think not all Phones are the same one even if they have the same name.

Mine is a A510e and I'm overclocked ... Kernel is Einstien.frat's Cake (v1.4) but Dust worked fine too.
Phone: HTC Wildfire S (GSM)
HTC Sense: 2.1
Software number: 2.26.163.1
Kernel: Cake v1.4 @806mhz
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."

There's an A510x too. Very rare though.

Many people in OZ have that A510b,especialy on Telstra...nothing weird about the phone...supports all bands as i can remember...i am slightly demented so you folks forgive me if im wrong

There are a few versions of the wildfire s
A510A-GSM,Some different basebands
A510B-Also has a few different basebands
A510C-CDMA version of the wildfire s
A510E-The genric version of the wildfire s
A510a and A510b are some carrier specific versions while A510e is the Global version

Here's how I did it, and I believe this to be the safest way possible: I gave my Wildfire S to my wife, went to the phone shop and bought the One V. I'm VERY happy.
Seriously, they are working on porting the Sense 4.0 ROM from the Golf (Desire C). The phone is physically similar to the Wildfire S and the ROM very similar to the One V's:
[DEV] RUU for HTC Golf ICS-Sense
I think that's the best answer we can hope for.

Wildfire S = armv6
Explorer = armv7
Any other sense 4 device= armv7
Therefore porting is not possible

Explorer - ARMv7
Wildfire S - ARMv6
Therefore, no sense 4 for us.

HTC explorer does not have sense 4.It consists of sense 3. 5.

I m little confused that how idogx has ported sense 3. 5 port for wildfire s.. and the rom is fully working..
I know Arm6, 7 things..

Actually what we need for sense 4 is kernel v3. Our ice port uses modifyed kernel 2.6.5. So porting from the explorer won't be posible. Unless someone copiles kernel 3 for our phone which even ASN(modpunk) has given up on.

We don't need a 3.0 kernel, it's the fact that sense4 doesn't have ARMv6 libs, and it never will since all sense4 devices are ARMv7. Trust me on that, since Ben, a couple others and I spent months trying to port it. It's not gonna happen.

First off I don't know how to, second I think the reason modpunk isn't working on it anymore is because it doesn't work. But I'm not sure on that.

Anyways if you look at what's not working, it's pretty much a no-goer for most of us users.

It's sense 4a not sense 4 actually so its missing the good animations part, the ROM is still alpha, it is on ext4, that's another problem that would add pressure on phone and sdcard, the biggest and main problem is, cm10 is not fully working, which I suspect, won't ever. We don't need stuffs those are half working.

I find Sense 2.1 beautiful. Of course Sense 4 would be cool, but if it's not possible we have to accept it.. :laugh:

[Q] What can I do to (help) port Sense 4?

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?
