HTC announced the wildfire S today which has close specs to the Hero. It has gingerbread sense ui and has a 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inch screen. So I'd it possible we can port a rom of it to the Hero?

Just FYI, 600 MHz on one phone is not the same as 600 MHz on another phone. The CPU in the phone you speak of is at least one generation newer than what we have. Read here for more details

Basically it will probably be very difficult to port. nfinitefx and others tried very hard to get a stable port of the original Wildfire, and that was hard enough.
Possible on Wildfire not s?

Well i don't agree that it can not be ported to our wildfires.the kernel can be modified with the right drivers for our wildfires when i will have time and the sources will be available i will work on it.but the worst part would be the resolution i think.
I think that the best phones for porting Wildfire S ROM-s are Legend and Aria (Gratia) because both phones have more/less the same hardware specifications

i think all devices with android will be unlocked
More likely that devices they update will have the unlocked loader, not old devices..Why would they bother? Too much hard work! No profit from doing it! Much the same as there usual update methods (2 updates is enough for the consumer)

Well what they do is just add wee bootloader code to Android 2.4 and that's it (yes Wildfire S will get 2.4 update for sure)

Ummm.....the original Wildfire was rooted ages ago (Unrevoked).
I'm not sure about Alpharev S-OFF, but root - no probs with the original.
Maybe you had another device in mind when you posted. ;-)
ROM Capacity
Hi all,
Please , can somebody tell me if he has a more information about Android and especially Widfire S. I just be a proud new member to Android operation system change from Windows mobile . On specification Wildfire S has a 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM. So the question is , why after reinstalling Android OS( Hard Reset ) from this 512MB i had only 124MB free space for installation program.
What should I do to increase ROM free space.
Thank you in advance.
Because that has to include the base ROM and all of the applications that it's running. HTC sense takes up a lot of space.
best to unlock, root and tear out a bunch of that bloat.

I've been trying to get info from HTC about a possible update, at least to 2.3.5 but the guys at tech support are too vague and didn't even reply to bug reports I sent them. I have the latest European RUU and it has some problems with force closes after installing apps from Market, gave the guys all my phone info, yet still they don't know if there are plans to upgrade the phone.
However they promise that they'll let me know as soon as they know something and also say that they want to guarantee the best possible user experience.
I guess ICS 2.4 would be perfect. Now that it's officially released I suggest HTC to Get on their Boots (like U2 would say lol).
The WFS has enough hardware to run ICS so what are they waiting for?
I've had so many phones from HTC and even QTek (former HTC) that I expect some level of commitment on their part.
Sorry for the long post. Needed to uncompress my thoughts... ;-)
ICS is currently Android 4.1 not Android 2.4. But yes WFS can run gingerbread and so can run ICS also.
I'm now the proud owner of a wildfire s with .9gb (yes 900mb) of system memory after install. The new roms are kicking!

Hi devs,
today morning it was news on the xda portal, that it is possible to have 4 ROMs installed on the Droid Incredible, and to choose which one you want to boot up.
Here is the thread
I hope somebody will be interested, and we get at least a dualboot. Would be nice especially, that there is the Ubuntu project now.
The only problem is, that we don't have 8GB internal storage, but we have sdcard (where the Ubuntu runs from to)
I will delete this thread as soon as a dev makes an other one for making the development happen.

but this way we could have a Sense, a CM and Ubuntu on our DHD at the same time Wouldn't it be nice?

you are right, it is the case with Incredible, but you can run Ubuntu natively on your DHD and it uses your sdcard, so it would be possible to install the ROMs there

IF we did get this ported to the dhd, would it be good to go for an inspire user like me? or would it take some more dev time to also port it for the inspire. I'm still not technically aware of what dhd and inspire's differences are..
EDIT: also, are the inspire and dhd's internal memory the same?
That's great idea!!
The desire HD have enough internal memory to have cm7 and sense at the same time.
Cmon devs!

Couple of thoughts:
- we don't have a 'standard' recovery (letama's CWM is still not public) and big enough partition for system- /mnt/system is 200MB (or 300 for newer models)
- there is quite some Archos proprietary stuff, I didn't check what is the exact use of it (I guess it is at least for video player, maybe also for abcbox and other binaries)
- current kernel is still not perfect (my Gen9 is much hotter then on 3.2.80, also there are apparently memory management problems)
I can help when I'll have some free time but please don't expect miracles (I'm an advanced modder at best with some compilation knowledge)

Not only recovery is the problem- HDD models don't have SD slot so there will be a problem with file transfers (HDD operates as MTP/PTP device, not mass storage)

No, data and system are in internal flash (2GB total). HDD is used only as storage- SD card from system point of view

CMW is designed to use SD card (/dev/mmcblk*p1 or /dev/mmcblk*p1, vfat) and to mount it for PC as USB storage but maybe it can be tricked to use /dev/sda* instead and adb push should work for file transfers (USB mass storage won't work for windoze PCs- majority of users)- there has to be a way to copy files to the device with damaged system
Anyway what we really need is a big enough partition for system (not modified Honeycomb system uses ~330MB, I didn't check ICS- ask suduru_petru). Question is if we want to be able to flash official .aos files- this requires ~190MB free space on /mnt/system (for androidmergerd.squashfs.secure system image) otherwise full system reformat must be done

Even if we do get cwm, won't we still be booting more than one OS?

Yes, it's possible. Letama used fbmenu for launching CWM/Android, there should be no problem adding another boot options to it (but I don't know if dynamic menus are possible to make).
As you all know "Ubuntu for phones" has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Lets discuss about this being a possiblity to port on our device.
A porting guide will be posted on Ubuntu website on 22nd (which is today in India).

Dual Boot
Just curious, the porting guide says that Ubuntu runs over the stock kernel, if it's right, would it be possible to run it in dual boot?
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) is having official support and currently the port is work in progress. Apart from the system partition size issue, if samsung galaxy s can run it, so can defy. This is very early stage and we can only presume such thing.

Should not be, most of the phones which can run cm 10.1 can easily handle this. Building it too doesn't look much difficult. "Ubuntu for phones" is surprisingly based on CM sources.
I've not enough speed for syncing sources, maybe Kayant or m11kkaa can build it for us.

Till it gets stable enough to worth porting, we will probably have CM 10.1 and kernel 3.0 working perfectly

I have successfully compiled the the ubuntu zip for our defy however, am facing a major issue at the moment which is the prebulit image that is needed to flash before installing the defy zip is not being installed for some reason Am currently trying to find why this is but no luck so far...... I think I may be something to do with our data partition..... maybe the preimage is too big for it??? that am not sure but I have just reduced it by deleting some images and videos included in the demo..... Hopefully it will decide to work this time

What exactly do you mean Is the phone not booting pass the black screen after the moto logo.... if so you need to make sure you have wipe data if not the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip won't be installed and flashed the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip first or it will never boot.

The system partition is separate from the user partition.
No matter how small or large the ROM, it won't directly increase or decrease your userdata area.
