So as I stalked around here for a bit, I never realized that GSM roms and a CDMA phone don't match... either way, I've gone through and purchased an old HTC Desire that I assumed would be able to run ParanoidAndroid and MIUI Jelly Bean without issue... but no. So, any easy way to port Roms? I'm assuming it must just be a different radio or hboot config..
Hello again
When you flash a rom, you don't change radio and hboot. They survive flashing everytime.
There are hardware differences between the two phones.
You could port parandroid by taking cronny's JB as a base, and using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008
Thanks very much, will see what can be done. Also, the issues with these phones on ICS and JB, mainly the tearing and lack of proper acceleration in Camera and 720p playback... are they kernel dependent or driver? Are they stored in the boot.img or elsewhere?

Looks like I'm in business.

I have an nTelos Desire still on stock 2.1 and rooted using unrevoked so it has S-OFF.
I'd like to know which Sense-based ROMs (don't like AOSP, sorry) would be available for me. I already have a zip file for the nTelos APNs (if needed, really) but can't seem to find a definitive answer if any of the cool Kingdom/Pyramid-based ROMs would work with my version of the phone, including any radio updates as it's still on radio 2.05.10.00.11. I haven't been able to really find any info on anything nTelos specific and that's understandable since it's a pretty small regional carrier (I think it's owned by USCC or Cell South, not sure). Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Bumpty bump!
It's not one day, calm down.

Bump in the night.
I have a desire on a CDMA network, and the best CDMA ROMs I've found are CM7, oxygen, and MIUI.

Thanks but I'm not a fan of MIUI or AOSP-based ROMs. Looking for a good Sense-based ROM that's either Froyo or Gingerbread.
Afternoon bump!
I was wondering about this. I've always had Sense-based ROMs on my DHD. I've switched to BlackIce yesterday.
With Sense ROMs ppl seem to be really anal about using the right radio with the right RIL. With BlackIce, and in other CM7 threads I've checked out, it doesn't see to be much of an issue in the CM7 community.
How come? Can I just use any radio? And about any RIL should work?
It would seem to me there are also combinations of radios and G-RILs that would work better, but I can't find a list anywhere. Would anyone have any info?
im pretty sure RILs only have issues with htc sense based roms
then again i might be wrong but when i tried it i used the latest radio and as some one suggested 1003 ril
Seems like it yeah, I'm using 1003 now with radio before latest. Seems to work better for me... it's still sort of magic...
Hello, I saw and tried the cdma version of Keiran's Darkforest ROM, while I like how smooth and the Sony Ericsson launcher is but I missed t-mobile's theme chooser from team freexperia's cm7 rom. I was hoping some devs would tell/write what some of the key differences are between gsm and cdma are. I've read somewhere that one core is for radio and another is for everything else and the radio core is the reason why're so different. Idk how true that last sentence is though.
why not download the cdma version of cm7?
Because I want to try and convert other gsm roms to cdma.
You'd be the first to convert a PLAY GSM rom to CDMA if you do, so good luck
Seeing as all roms are different what one in specific do you want to convert?
What about KeiranFTW's Darkforest rom? I thought that was a conversion?
And I have a couple I'd want to do imo the first one I'd try to do is ICS MIUI from pricey2009's thread. I've seen a number of posts/threads saying its possible so this thread is to ask for devs and ppl to post what they know and try to make it work.
start by replacing the following libs with the cdma variants
libcm.so
libgsdi_exp.so
libgstk_exp.so
libmmgsdilib.so
libnv.so
liboncrpc.so
libpbmlib.so
libril.so
libril-qc-1.so
libuim.so
libwms.so
Alright, I'll try with doom's kernel and see how it goes.
although I think the kernel might need some work or it could be the miui rom. because just replacing those ^ files my phone wont go past the booting DooMkernel screen. Wiped data, cache from stock rom before I ran the miui updater script.
Any news or updates on your attempts at converting a GSM rom to CDMA?
Not anything new unfortunately. : (
I don't think converting the aokp from was new either as its cm9 based so I did the same thing as pax did for cm9. Except super venom did the real work compiling it with Xperia vendor/ parts whatever.

The most we can do is in ICS.
AOKP/CM9 are fully compatible from a GSM variant.
Sony Beta is a different story.
Ok so there is alot of development for bravo on ics but only one option for bravoc, as far as ics roms go. Is it possible to change a few files and port the rom to cdma. I read somewhere that you can just replace the kernel with a cdma one, but i have not tested that because I cant seem to get the bravoc kernels from the bcm cm9 rom by DK_zero-cool

When I use to have my desire, flashing a CDMA kernel over a GSM ROM never seemed to work for me. I did successfully boot an ICS ROM, however, by overwriting some files inside the ROM (can't remember which ones). The only problem was that it was not fully functional and had many problems... There is one ICS ROM that I know of that works with the CDMA version of the desire: see HERE.
Guess I'll stick to bcm and hope the lagging is getting fixed

So far everything I've read here pertains to the GSM version. Am I still fine going ahead with what is posted? I read a thread on not using the hboots for GSM (idk what hboots are haha). Can someone dumb this down for me a bit? Switching over from the Mesmerize (horrible data drops on anything 2.3+ due to bad hardware, and samsung ditching the issue and not issuing a recall), everything was a much simpler process. Thanks in advance guys!!

Install a CDMA ICS/ JB from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946517
Anything to prep it for it? It's on stock 2.2. Also that rom looks a bit iffy, I think I've seen one that records 720p fine and plays it back as well.
I got the ROM you posted to work... but is it the only one? I'd prefer one that is more stable and for the CDMA Desire.
There aren't too many roms for the CDMA version of the desire.

Check out this thread. It has every rom in the desire section.

I've seen this. Looks miserable :/
Any kitchens available for bravoc? I have the feeling the roms for bravo and bravoc are identical, except for radio and hboot.

They aren't identical. The two phones have slight hardware differences.
So I've found no functional roms for bravoc that are functional out of the box... croniccorey's works after the fixes... any idea if it is possible to port an ics/jb rom with a cm7 base?
