Porting Question - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm currently trying to learn how to port roms for the Desire Z/G2 by using some guides around the internet and dsixda's Android kitchen. Currently I'm trying to port CM7 from Desire S to our device (I know there is a version for the G2 but I thought it would be easier to start with this rom than with a sense rom or something like that...). At the moment almost everything works exept the physical keyboard. It seems to be somehow recognized by the OS cause when I pop it out the launcher is forced into landscape mode but I can't write anything and I can't see the keyboard lights.
Does somebody know which files have to be copied from the original CM7 to the ported one?
Thanks in Advance

Man i always wanted to do this. It be dopee. I always wanted Sense roms for other devices working on our DZ.

[Q] Error with htcsense.com on new sense roms

When i first tried a new sense rom on my desire, the htcsense.com worked fine. I later uninstalled that due to it not being stable enough to use as a everyday rom. I've just installed the Cool Z V1 stable release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899943) and I went on the htcsense.com and it doesn't seem to be working properly. I get this http://i.imgur.com/vyhKl.png when i should get this http://i.imgur.com/a0XEH.jpg (image from a friend with a desire hd) . The lock phone and ring phone things both work, they're the only ones I've tried. Is this just me or does it happen to all desires with new sense roms? Does anyone know of any resolution for this?
Thanks

what rom to use

Hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I have a rooted Telus HTC Desire HD. I have tried several ROM's and so far none quite fit the bill. I am looking for a ROM that is basically a rooted version of the stock rom. I only rooted my phone so I could use a clockwork recovery and be able to backup my device. Also Sense is needed as I use google calendar along with pure calendar to display my appointments, contact birthdays and facebook contact birthdays. Facebook for sense seems to be the only way to easily do this. I have RCmixHD which is supposed to be a port of Telus stock rom & I like it except that it does not have Canadian or US English options. If anyone has some ideas on where to look next I sure would like to know.
Hi jmc7895
Since you like sense.. you can try Android Revolution HD and LeeDrOid. Well you can try the Gingerbread version of them, you also have the option to try out the Froyo version.
Cheers. =)
I have to say I am no Android freak, I just started to use Custom Roms for 3 weeks.
But I could honestly recommend Android Revolution HD 5.1.x to everybody.
stable, fast, almost a rooted stock Rom, no trash inside, no problems until you do not install any "Sense 3.0 Addons"
only follow the guides and you will be happy with that rom.
I am currently using Revolution HD.
First custom rom i've tried, I love it. Looks exactly like stock Gingerbread, only waaay faster and with better battery life. Plus there's 24/7 support on the rom's thread
Just follow the tutorials, you'll be fine !
The only downside I could think of is that the rom is not directly available in ROM Manager. Not a big problem anyway =)

[Q] What happens if you use a rom that isn't meant for your device?

I really would like to use MIUI for my HTC Wildfire, which is why I rooted my phone in the first place. :/
It wont install / it wont boot.
Surely you must have seen the available ROMs in the Dev Zone if you were rooting only for MIUI?? MIUI being such an eye candy ROM is obviously designed only for devices which have hardware capable for it.
Haha, I looked up MIUI and thought that it was really pretty and found out it's only for rooted devices. I spent more time trying to figure out how to root my 2.2 device than even bothering to check if MIUI is suitable for Wildfire. Thank you for you reply.

[Q] Problems with Virtuous Roms

Hello Guys,
Ive Got a Problem, thats why i'm here.
Ive got a Rooted HTC Desire Z (data under my Question)
and everytime I want to flash a Rom from VIrtous or with Virtous Basement
I get a Blackscreen at rebooting, other Roms are working (like CM9)
And because thats very weird I want to ask the Pro's
Data:
- Hboot-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)
- 4Ext Recovery System
Thanx Eddiegame
(and if theres a [Q] existing, it wouldnt help cauz my Cell is very crazy)
Edit: Actually, this is the Desire Z hboot...Have you tried flashing Sense ROM's or the ICS ROM they offer?
Jss i did flash nearly all Virtuous Roms, which are aviable
But none has been working... all Blackscreen.
Even Virtuous Sense 2.0.0?
I presume you have set up and have a grasp of how to use adb. If you haven't, look up a guide in our forum.
So, does adb recognize your device while it's trying to boot? (You can confirm this if you run "adb devices" ) If it does, what output are you getting when running "adb logcat"?

Jes i know how to use adb
and i tested with the Primadonna Rom
and it Said :
Code:
- waiting for device -
error: protocol fault (no status)
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
and the "error" is coming, when the blackscreen starts ...
hi, i am trying to flash the sense Android Revolution HD with HTC Sense 3.5 rom as posted by you on my G2 but it after installation it gets stuck at the htc boot screen, amazingly this happens with all sense 3.5 roms like CoreDroid v1.3, Virtuous Affinity etc. but roms like CM7 - PyroMod etc. are installed and run pretty ok(ok the andriod process keeps crashing while calling), could you put some light on the matter. i am new to this previously the g2 was running the mexdroid rom and i brought it online. i really want the phone to run HTC stock rom or similar coz i love the look and the feel of it. any guidance on the same would be greatly appreicated. cant post on the form coz i still dont have the rights to do so.'
TIA,
regards,

Dear mh09ad5578
Habe you tried the BlissSense ? Its the best one with 3.5 in my opinion the others did also not work for me so try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485689
Eddiegame
I suggest against 3.5 entirely, it's way too bloated to run smoothly on our phones.
There's plenty of Sense 4.0 development. The ROM's we have right now are blazing fast and pretty much everything works, except for camera. Won't take long till we have fully functional Sense 4.0 ROM's.
So my advice is to stick with Stock (Virtuous Sense 2.0.0), until Camera works in Sense 4.0. Also, flash the Unity kernel, I have v9 on mediafire (can't find v10 right now).
Eddiegame, in case you haven't tried that ROM then please do. It's stock with Virtuous kernel/tweaks.
But my Problem is that virtousroms aren't working right now.
At the moment im at Glite, waiting for a fully working Sense 4.0a
so i will wait c:

Might need to flash the dz hboot. The system partition needs to be larger for many sense roms

[Helprequest] HTC Keyboard for (nearly) AOSP based Rom's

Hi everyone,
i searched google to get the HTC_IME keyboard on RR-OS but wasn't able to find a working .zip or .apk. Since i like the keyboard from Sense a lot, i would like it to run on RR-OS or any other rom or device. Most of the files i found are not available anymore or are not compatible with my device I don't understand a lot that's related to porting apps and the used languages, can anyone help me with it?
I'm running on 7.1.2 (RR-OS) with the latest firmware of HTC on the M9.
Regards
mrstupidus
