[Q]Kernel 3.x for Wildfire ? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm pretty sure this is the most ridiculous question our wildfire devs will ever hear.... but anyways here it goes!...
I was wondering if kernel 3.x is applicable/possible/needed for wildfire???.(the devs can laugh now!)...It's just that I'm currently following many device forums on xda and they seem to be pretty excited about the kernel 3.0 stuff.....I just wanted to know if our wildfire can have the luxury of kernel 3.x ...
And obviously from the question itself you will know that I'm a complete newbie ..:silly:

Well I don't profess to know what needs to be done but I imagine that all the drivers will need to be ported, as well as that fact that we have no gpu. That could cause issues with the kernel hacks that are already in place just so we can run gingerbread, let alone jellybean. Which I think is needed for the 3.x kernel. But again I don't know, I'm just speculating.

U think 3.x kernels should work on ICS as well, since my phone came with ICS and a 3.x kernel.

I would like that if it was possible to happen but there's always a way of getting it

Not possible or is it?
I'm really curious to is there anyway this HTC Wildfire getting that kernal if there's a way hopefully people shall revealing their secrets and how they do it :]

Would you like to see Sense 4 on our devices ?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27738474&postcount=336
I am starting a poll.
So, user shaky156 said that he would try to port sense 4 on our devices, if we get enough votes.
He has already ported for desire/incredible/nexus, so I believe he's a smart guy.
Declare yourself, vote, and who knows, maybe we're lucky enough to have sense 4 in the end.
of course I want!
maybe he can work together with the wfsdev-team

We will see what happens within the next 2 weeks. We will probably rip what phone it is using your previous roms build.prop - if we can't find it then we'll throw up a selection.
If we don't have a rom to rip from we'll use a dialogue box to ask what you want.

Sorry, I'm leaving

I just have to say that I'm leaving this forum because I have a new tmobile upgrade and I am recieving a Samsung Galaxy S3 in a few weeks.
What I have left to do before I loose my Wildfire S:
* Finish my Downgrader Tool
* Complete my ROM
* Helping PORT Jelly Bean 4.1 to the wfs to boot (maybe)
Sorry to hear you're leaving.
Do you really have to leave though? Maybe just develop less for the WFS but every now and again, do a little WFS developing?
Have fun with the GS3!

Wish I could do more development but I giving my wfs to my nephew.

Have fun with your GSIII.............and atleast make the Jellybean port to boot
I could always use a set of hands to help it boot. Simon has already said I can kang parts of his work.
As soon as the source is available I will start playing with it and I will link up the github.
P.S. it was nice to see you around. Sorry to see you leave man

[Q] Android KitKat?

Do you think Android KitKat would be compatible with Wildfire? It is designed for lower end devices so would it be possible for a port of that new OS?

Probably not. while it may technically be possible to achieve it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to do it successfully, or even partially.

I agree that it could be a very good opportunity, im just saying dont get your hopes up i suppose :/ we just about got got 4.1.2 from this dev here . alot of the "main players" have moved on from this device and i dont think we would have the skill to manage this. to start off with we would need a 3.4 kernel i believe, and i dont think they re-introduced support for non gpu devices in 4.3 kitkat so we would need to implement all the hacks that were required to get ics running and port them over to kitkat.
its a nice idea, but to be honest i think the amount of hours it would need to make it function may not actually work towards a stable daily driver
i`m amazed the wildfire got this far to be honest, and im happy i was here for it

Scratch is basically start from the beginning, and it's always better to try making a KitKat ROM for Wildfire, you never know what the outcome could be right?

We are waiting for Android KitKat to be released, we need a device that has a QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels
AFAIK it would run without a 3.4 or even a 3.8 kernel. But the current 2.6 kernel would slow it down. Only very experienced devs can make properly working kernels. And we have almost no 'real' "i build from source" dev left in this forum. (not offensive, i appreciate the work of any dev/porter/whatever here )
4.1 is also running fine with that old arco - kernel but its really slow maybe because of the hardware maybe because of the kernel. I think its a mix of both components.
I tried with @kylon to get a functioning overclock kernel for the htc wildfire bee, (cdma device) and we couldn't manage to get it stable, and that's the buzz's sister phone. It shares almost all the same hardware :/ so I don't think it will be an easy task.

Just my 2p worth but doesn't kitkat and the kernel associated with it look for integrated GPU's which the wildfire simply doesn't have, so if someone was to create a kernel for kitkat you would have to emulate a GPU on the CPU which would slow down the phone to a unusable piece of crap.
Good idea but i doubt it's viable.

Agreed. Ics barely ran without the kernel hacks to make it run. Though it is said that kitkat should be less resource hungry.

While it's possible I have no idea what hacks were done to make it work. We needed kernel hacks for gingerbread.... The only one that would definitely know would be Arco, as he was the kernel developer for the buzz branch of cyanogenmod. I think most of the work on cm7 and 9 were arcos work, with some help from the guys here of course

So i'll try to make one, also we may need a new kernal for the sense 3.5, because the current is in ok condition, but not stabler enough :/
Going to see if i can fix all the issues myself :good:

It won't work good, because almost all the apks in the ROM are not ldpi and not compatible with the device, although i'm looking into this further more in development.
I'll try to compile sources from different devices with sense 3.5 which have some ldpi compatible features
