Who can create a port rom 2.1 + Magic Sense for 32A?

Hello. HTC Hero users already have a good Roms 2.1 + Sense. You have received an official kernel from HTC. We unfortunately do not. Sanpei created a very good kernel. Everything in it works, but no one has created a good rom. Anyone can cook a port on this kernel? Plz port Viliam or another good rom.
All Magic 32A users would be grateful.
Sorry for my English.

4th.Too bad i missed top 3.

Please help us

I'd like to see that kernel.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125
Sanpei rom has this kernel, but he didn't opened sources. User Robocik had bricked Magic. He has cooked rom on old sanpei kernel for us.
We don't have good 2.1 rom.

If you buy me a Magic I'd be happy to port a rom for you.

LOL
lol funny one magic user decides to complain in the hero forum, and there are many roms good for magic ported from the hero roms

You don't have right. All ports had created by robocik, but he has bricked Magic.
He was using 2.6.29 Sanpei kernel. This kernel has meny bug. DEATH IN SLEEP, Battery bug, camera crash... Sanpei created 2.6.32, but now there there is no person, who created port.
New kernel doesn't have bugs.

well if thats the case, why not write the cook of the rom you like, and ask him to make a new one for you

Case and movi use only old radio and WGkernel. They don't want work with sanpei kernel, because he is breaking the license GPL.

im sorry i dont really see why you cant ask one of the many good dev's in the magic section who work on kernels,Dwang has made some good kernels as well as cyanogen! i do believe there is a section of the kernels on the forums.

I don't even think he even knows what he's talking about.. I'm using the magic and there are several ports already done. You're asking for something that is already done... I've tried them out and the one I tried works perfectly fine (aside from text app opening slow). Does the Hero even have an official 2.1 kernel? I don't wanna sound like a jerk but isn't asking something like this in another section(another [email protected]#$) a bit... *nicer word* SILLY? It's almost like going to an iphone section and requesting this.

Dont know if i did anything right since I have never done anything like it, but the rom seems to work fine, so far so good...

You are right kawata,i have a magic and most of the ports are fine to use,no we dont have a hero 2.1 kernel yet!

[Q] Clean Froyo AOSP (2.2 or 2.2.1) for the Wildfire?

There are quite a few ROMs available, but one thing is not entirely clear to me. Why aren't there any clean AOSP ROMs for the Wildfire? I can understand it would be difficult to develop newer Android versions like Gingerbread that were never officially released for the Wildfire, but wouldn't it be relativly easy to compile a working ROM from the 2.2/2.2.1 source code? Or am I completely missing the point here?
It seems to me all the materials are available to pull this off without too much effort, right? The Kernel source is available from HTC and the Froyo source from our friends at Google.
From what I understand there are also some vendor specific issues that need to be solved, but the Cyanogen developers apparently have this solved already.
That pretty much covers everything right?
So my question would be, is it possible to easily build a clean version of Froyo for the Wildfire by doing the following:
1. Grab the kernel source from HTC and compile it (or just fuse a pre-compiled one seeing as there are quite a few available).
2. Compile the Android 2.2/2.2.1 source
3. Apply vendor specific fixes (assuming they don't have to be incorperated in the code directly).
4. Flash kernel + ROM, thereafter Gapps
5. win?
Basically something like Openfire without bugs. Which reminds me, wouldn't the video recording/SIM card issues be fixed with the official HTC kernel? In which case, I see little reason to try and compile the stuff by myself.
Ah well, I really really hope someone can enlighten me on this subject.
TL;DR: I want to create a basic a clean AOSP Froyo 2.2/2.2.1 ROM which should be easy right because we already have the required materials (proper HTC kernel -- or third party one, 2.2/2.2.1 source, cyanogen vendor fixes), so compile = good to go?

There is always CM7
Remember you use these at your own risk

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't really address my questions. I am aware of the custrom ROMs available, none of them really meet my demands.
Cyanogenmod is an excellent ROM, but CM6 has some issues and CM7 is based of Gingerbread.
Utmost and Wildmix are both based on Openfire. The problem with Openfire is that it has a lot of internal stuff I don't really like. Seeing as Utmost and Wildmix are based on it those don't really float my boat either.
My eventual goal would be to create a clean AOSP like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162656
Unfortunately it's based on Gingerbread and not fully functional (yet!).
That is why I asked the questions that I asked. I'd rather do it myself from scratch, but in order to do any work I could really use an answer to my questions
Thanks anyways.

Got that after posting that
But gingerbread is much better than froyo and compatible to nearly all apps you can have
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App

Anyway what's wrong with gingerbread??

I figured since 2.2.1 is the last available official version released it would be easier to get all hardware functioning properly. But if those new ginger AOSP projects fix the video recording bugs and get everything else fixed, ill gladly switch to it. Maybe ill use xdbg's (spelling?) ginger aosp as a base as soon ss the bugs are fixed.

[Q]

I've been searching in the development section for a while, looking for any ICS or other ROM which is stable for daily use. All I find are attempts by people who say either they are not devs or it is their first attempt to make a ROM and sicne I don't have time now for trying and testing, could anyone point me to a stable, fully working ROM for daily use? is there any ICS working ROM or they are all buggy for now. The one I currently have is from an older 2.3.5 but I haven't found any newer either. IF ICS is not ready yet, then which 2.3.5 is using the latest base and is stable?

This is the most stable of all ICS roms.......But do keep in mind that some things might never work due to the lack of OMX binaries for ARMv6 devices
The things include video recording,full video playback,a perfectly working camera

I've read this which is marked as "not suitable for daily use" and daily use includes camera and video recording so if that's the best for now, ICS must not be an option for me.
This means that my question changes which 2.3.5 ROM is using the latest base and is quite reliable? I have to say that I haven't found any ROM to convince me that is realible or those that I found are using older base. Maybe there are some that are far away from the latest list and I haven't seen them.
Anyway, if someone uses a ROM with latest official build and it is fast, reliable and tuned well for battery and space usage, please recommend it to me.

Already tried the first one some time ago. It's a bit old and if I remember correctly it uses an older base, plus it has many necessary components removed (like, widgets)
The second one, I've seen it already and it seems that it has most parts chosen for bangladesh. Maybe I'm wrong but I usually avoid installing a ROM from someone who says he is not a developer and he attempts to make a ROM for the first time. Nothing againsta that dev but I'd rather save some time. That's why I posted here.
I think that everyone must have moved to CM and development on WFS must have seized so I guess I'm staying with that old ROM.

Hboot 1.3x GPS issue on AOSP, CM, AOKP roms - HELP

Hello Everybody,
especially kernel developpers! Please try to have a look at the issue, in my opinion is a kernel repack issue, googled it to death without a solution! Slowly everybody is moving on to new HBOOTs and the 4.2 project is still far from stable.

Trip's ROM and his kernel combined have working GPS. As far as I know, not much kernel devs can do without the source.

I know that, I am using SlimBean, love the rom, but the thread support is a bit...let's say, slow (rather non existent). I looked for smth like a stable release, I saw that they have anounced that this is the final version of 4.1 and they start working on 4.2. No busgs in the rom. Of course, in no changelog or issue list the nonfunctional GPS issue is not mentioned. I am still convinced that there is a way to do it! I'll keep roaming the forum!

It is likely to be sorted when jb kernel sources are released.
And don't ask when, nobody knows.

Of course I don't ask when, I never ask when, but does at least anyone know what the issue is?

Probably kernel incompatibility with newer hboots.

Apparently there is micro kernel responsible for the GPS and the repack for the new boots is not done right.

No one any idea?

Answer:
"People started to get confusing when newer hboot versions stopped working with custom ROMs: The reason for this is that people used an ancient init binary that crashed with newer hboot releases."

I too suffered loss of GPS after updating to 1.31
I have tried a number of NON sense roms, but Ice Cold Jelly running Android 4.2.1 is good. Working GPS again - phew!

[Q] Just want a stable phone, thats all...

Hi guys, I am a BASIC android user with BASIC phone needs. Unfortunately I own a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) and the very crapy HTC Sense 2.1 thats keeps on slowing down the phone and mostly rendering it beyond the point of regular usage.
I want the cleanest possible, fully functioning Android version available, like on Nexus phones. Just a plain, simple, clean and basic Android version. No need for overclocking, Sense crap, MIUI interfaces or other spectaculair may-work-may-not-work-brick-my-phone stuff, just a simple working smartphone, you can call with, send text messages with, Viber, Skype or Whatsapp with. You know, kinda like old people do with the phone
So 2 questions:
1. Which version would you guys recommend as being the cleanest one available on the forum?
2. How on earth do I get there? I have basic/bit advanced knowledge about rooting phones, Kernels, radio versions, etc, but this HTC phone is beyond me. Should I first root it, then CID Unlock/ s-Off it, do I first have to downgrade it to Froyo, etc etc etc. I know the easiest answer is RTFM, or use the search function on this forum first, but with my basic knowledge I cant seem to figure it out with the tons and tons of information thats out there on the forum.
So please, a few pointers, short first-this-then-that guidelines, and I'm sure I will get there.
Have a great weekend, DaMO

First of all, you're in the wrong section.
Second : The best rom without any trouble is this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242480
If you want more feature : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187
Both are very stable. Very fast. No problem at all.
But I have to say, these time, most of recent roms are pretty reliable.

Many thanks, overdose. As you are a mod, just move it to the right section.
And like I said, kind of a noob. So the post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242480 is kind of a question mark for me. As far as I understand, this release is based on a CM7 Rom, with added features? And do I only need the ILWT CM7 Kernel, or also the ILWT Deamon? What is a Deamon???!?? and why would I need it? Found a downgrade/upgrade guide from Strawmetal, hopefully it won't brick my phone and I will be able to upgrade to a normal workeable ROM.
Again, many many thanks, and tonight I will either have a useless paper weight, or a normally functioning phone

The deamon allow you to control overclocking, voltage, I/O, governors.
Witch you dont need, if you dont want to play with it.
i.e mimicry's already set to 1000 mhz cpu. You dont need to touch anything if you're satisfied with this cpu speed.
It's hard to find a complete guide for newbes. Back in years, I remember that I had to look at multiple thread to be sure how to root/backup/flash and make sure not to brick.

The major difference between the two (I was using Mimicry myself for the longest time, but I'm currently testing the Flinny Jellybean build) is one is Gingerbread (CM7) and the other is Ice cream sandwich. So if you're find with android OS 2.3, you will for the most part have the most compatibility with the phone's hardware (since all the drivers are avail), and will run better on the phone. But Mimicry will give you the features of ICS (4.0.x), but may lack in some areas like camera capabilities with 3rd party apps such as instagram (which is fixed in the jellybean rom I'm currently using).
But as a "basic" user, I think sticking with gingerbread will do you just fine.

I personally found this guide most useful and very easy to follow. The only problem might be that it needs adb and the respective drivers, but installing it should not be too difficult.
My favourite ROM, when it comes to speed and stability, is the "cm-7.2.0-vision.zip" found here. It might have some extras, but compared to everything else I tried (and I tried a lot), it worked like a charm.

Hello guys, many many thanks for all your advice. After about a day of work, I have a fully functioning Desire Z, with cyanogen 7.2.0 release. I had some difficulties getting there ( a faulty PC10IMG file, a bootloop after finally flasing the CM zip that seemed endless, a bootloader that gave up on me, etc), but learned a lot along the way. My conclusion: as enthusiastic and capable all the people at XDA are, nothing beats the official manufacterers release of the software. Sure, here and there also original roms have glitches and FC's, but basically everything works the way it should work, all the drivers are present and mostly updated. So my motto is: if it aint broken, dont mess with it

I hear ya!
Which guild did you end up using? I found the one here too convoluted to take a chance on bricking my phone. Like it says to download ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0 and 5.8...well which is it? The cyanogenmod wiki instructions are easier to follow but it looks like they stopped developing at gingerbread which I already have. What I did was get the unlock code from HTC and then used busybox to install su for root access.
If CyanogenMod ever comes out with a more current version, I may give it a try but I am guessing they are only going to develop for the latest phones.

I used a mix of guides, basically the procedure was: downgrade to Froyo, unlocked and temporarly rooted (S-Off), got it permanent rooted, and then installed CM 7.2.0
Thats all
