Well, I read that they already have a pretty good port for the HD2 already (Which is great for that device since a working Android port would really breathe life into it), and I would think that it would be even easier to port to the Evo simply because they are both designed to run Android.
However, I'm not sure there would really be much to gain by doing that, but maybe i'm wrong.

The new HTC Sense looks to be the grand prize from the dump.
I would like to know what dev is going to atleast attempt to port the new Sense or the ROM as a whole.
Mainly, I just want the new Sense.

I honestly don't think we're going to get close to a Desire port until the CDMA or world phone version is launched. It will be a real ***** to port the GSM frameworks to CDMA. It might be possible to get the new sense ripped out of it, but from what I've seen Sense is embedded in both the apps AND the frameworks.

We had the Nexus One AOSP ROM, so I don't think it would be impossible.

[Q] Sense 2.0

I'm seeing all these ROMS with sense 2.0 that lack 4G and what not... instead of adding 4G to the rom... wouldn't it be easier to try to take sense from a rom and put it on one that already has 4G??? If this questions is dumb don't get smart lol I'm still learning when it comes to this...

I'm not a dev but I'd like to believe it is more to it than that. It's hard enough taking a rom not designed for the EVO and making it work.

gingerbread source has been released for months. and we are just now seeing the first, buggy leak for the evo. it's freaking hard to incorperate sense into a rom. takes months for a team of professional developers to do it. it's not just installing an app.

The problem with roms that have newly leaked gingerbread and sense 2.0 is that htc hasn't released source codes so the devs can't get 4G and in sone cases camera to work. Give them time this is the best group of devs in the world here at xda

[Q] Why all Sense 3.0 ROMS threads being locked?

Dear Admins
Why locking every new Sense 3.0 ROM thread? (Spare Honeysense 3D)
I am really worried about the spirit of competition for Sense 3.0 development on DHD... Every new Sense 3.0 ROM being posted get locked within a day or so.
This is unhealthy practice and I would think it has dire consequences regarding pushing Sense 3.0 forward on our device.
There must be some other way to settle arguments other than doing it this way in public.
I have no hard-feelings towards any of the Devs involved in this matter, but it is getting way too much now.
I hope we can keep XDA forums a pleasant and civilized place for all Devs (like it is meant to be). After all, it is an open source OS and no one has rights to claim any part of the software spare HTC and Google Devs imho.
Cheers

I think it's because of people using virtuous unity as a base without their permission. There aren't many devs that can port and resize a stock Sensation etc. rom to the DHD, so that's why almost every new Sense 3.0 rom is based on a already existing port. If people made their own roms from scratch it would be ok as it would bring some diversity. Now all new sense 3.0 roms are practically the same as there can't be any huge differences if the devs don't know how to use the m10 tools for example.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't all MIUI and Cyanogenmod custom ports are based on the original Rom with some tweaks? Why Sense 3 needs to be different...
I never saw an MIUI or Cyanogenmod custom ROM being locked for this reason.
If you have a good base that you can just simply tweak for better performance/custom looks, wouldn't that make devs lives easier and get us more choices to Flash? Of course I cannot expect someone to take a base without mentioning the original dev/team who cooked it and giving them proper credit for their work. But still mentioning them in credits should be enough imho. And still people have the choice to flash whatever they want.

My main point is the last sentence in my previous post. There isn't much tweaking you can do as a dev if you don't know how to work with the rom in the first place. If someone wants to modify the looks of a rom they could just release a theme. There's just too little being added to these new roms that someone could be able to call it their own imo and then there's the permission part...

I tried just about every ROM for my inspire and I decided to keep Honey3d.. after trying just about every sense 3.0 ROM, I believe that each one had its own touch. They look very similar but some just had a different style or look. Personally there was a big enough difference between them all to meet everyone's different styles.
If your worried about them all looking the same, take a look at some of the other ROMs out there too. Many of them look close to a bunch of the other ROMs.
Overall I don't really understand the locking on the 3.0 threads. I really hope I get to keep using Honey3D.. I don't really want to change to anything else

ROM porting?

Is it possible to port ROMs from one device to another? This would be so awesome on the Dinc 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174905

I'm not gonna say it's "impossible" at the hands of an experienced developer, but no, it's not as simple as just porting it over.
In the case of that ROM, the framework flat out doesn't exist to run touchwiz on an HTC device. To modify and adapt that would be a huge undertaking that I highly doubt a developer would subject him/herself to.
So, no, it isn't "impossible" but it is for sure highly, highly, highly improbable
And touchwiz sucks anyway

Touchwiz on an HTC device will probably never happen. Now a touchwiz themed sense rom might be possible. There should also me a TW4 theme for CM7

[Q] Porting Android Revolution HD to m7vzw

This ROM looks absolutely fantastic. Any developers have insight as to how we can get this working on our Verizon HTC One's?
Android Revolution HD
I've done some reading and tried this Sense-to-Sense porting guide with no luck.
Thoughts? Ideas? Halp?

I'm no expert but we'll likely see more ports once 4.3 comes out for us.

Does he have a ROM for the one? Need to look at his github

He has a ROM for the One but its for the GSM version. I asked him if he's going to port to Verizon and he said NO. Sad...=(

Well like cm I'm sure you can port it over. Just ask some devs on this forum to get you started. @Flyhalf205 or somebody like him can help I'm sure
Sent from my HTC One VZW using Tapatalk 4

My rom uses the exact same base. Not saying it's exactly the same however.
But what exactly is it about the rom that interests you?
Is there something it claims to offer that the roms we already have don't?
Just trying to understand all this desire to port other roms that have the same base as existing roms already ported and available.
What features makes it different or more desirable?
Maybe some insight may help others to understand and therefor justify why any Dev would port something from another Dev, when he has done the work already for his own port/rom.
Trying to understand what the draw is, that's all.
Is it the more well known "name" on it?

Go ask the creator of the ROM for permission to port and I will see about porting it over if I get the time.

Here is the link to the rom...

If you look at OP Post #1 here is the sharing policy, I've already messaged mike already to inform him... If you could pull this off FlyHalf that would be AWESOME. I have friends using this ROM and they totally swear by it (full GPU UI rendering, all the underhood tweaks make this rom quick, CPU governor performance).
This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
Give proper credits for what you used.
When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.
Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

Reguardless if he lets me. I will still port it to myself. May even work with him to get Verizon support in his main thread. Would be best solution since he does have sprint support. I am making no promises I can get this done! But I will try

I have a Verizon HTC One and would love to be able to use this ROM! There isnt very many roms for the Verizon version being as it came out so late im guessing.

Have you tried any that we do have? We've got pretty solid options for both Sense and AOSP ROMs.

Not gonna lie, it doesn't look that impressive. It's basically a stock based ROM with sense 5 toolbox. Kinda meh in my opinion

I actually did this, just to see what all the hoopla was about.
It's essentially a stock rom with Sense 5 toolbox, not much point in it really. (my 2 cents)
What feature is it you are looking for that's not currently available to us on Vzw? Just curious.
Is it the GPU rendering? Because that's the only thing that really stands out... to me anyway.

Okay, good to know we'r not missing out on too much. Unfortunately, its not like we can test out that ROM for ourselves since its on the GSM version so its hard to really compare it to the roms that are offered for Verizon.
