im just wondering if someone can help me to understand what problems would keep someone from porting roms from other varients of the htc one to the one vx. im looking around and we seem to have one person who has succesfully created working roms for this device, is there a specific issue we are running intok?
Partitions, hardware, framework all vary on the phone sure there is more to it too. I'm not that knowledgeable to really say why it be hard too

Okay, I assume the dev forum is the right place for this, since it would involve taking things apart.
I was wondering, for those of us who like Sense (don't hit me, to each his own), has anybody ever tried to seperate it from Android and port it to non HTC devices?
There are some great new things coming down the pipe, and I am not a developer, so I don't pretend to know if this is even remotely possible.
Just a wish of mine that maybe HTC would make it available in the Market for other devices to install.
Thanks for any contructive input,
Dennis

Wrong section and then some. Try the forum section for the non HTC phone you speak of.
I don't speak of any particular phone. I have an Incredible.
And I suspect that since Sense is only on HTC phones, somebody who works with them would have to do it, if it even can be done.
I was asking because I see other devices, like the new Samsung Tablet, that I would really like if they had Sense.
Of course if HTC came out with one, that would solve my problem anyway.

Back before I got the Incredible I was following a port to the Moto Droid of SenseUI. I don't know if they ever finished because there were HUGE hurdles that had to be overcome like the RIL. It was the zeusdroid team, you can try googling them to see if any of their work comes up. Like I said its quite possible they may have bagged it because it was such a big undertaking to create a new RIL from scratch.
I had a thought today while at work and wanted to try my hand at porting over the LiquidMetal rom from the Acer over to our phones. Now, I know this isn't something thats easy to do (especially if you've never done any dev work or port a rom over before, like me.), and I know that if I just wanted to get the rom to boot, I can just swap the kernel's out and the rom should at least boot.
I want to (hopefully) use jermaine151's rom over at the Droid Incred. forum as the rom to port over, but, I still havent asked him as this is still just an idea and I wanted some insight as to what Im doing to need to make this happen.
I know Im going to have to port over a lot of lib files and drivers for wifi and such, so, my question is what would I need so I can at least get this rom up and running?
Also, Im downloading the Source Code for LiquidMetal as I type this, but, I dont know which would be easier to work on, compiling from source or working on a direct port.
Any opinions on this? Any tips would be great.
EDIT: Nevermind. Someone is already working on a port over in the dev section and its bootable already.
Don't have anything to say but if you port liquid metal from acer to our G2 i will love you forever, even if it sounds gay.
Fly like a G2
Thanks. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling soon.

Hey guys,
I am new of this forum and also to the world of Android, not too sure what to make of it yet but its early days.
Right, down to business, what can I do with the handset to perhaps tinker or modify it? purely from a software point of view. Rather taken by the idea of dual booting but I guess this is something that is not possible with this phone yet as the bootloader is probably locked.
Anyone offer a brave soul a few pointers?
Try a new ROM
If you want to tinker, try rooting the phone (voiding your warranty) and installing a new ROM. Cyanogen Mod 7 and Miui are amongst the most popular. Be prepared for lots of reading before doing anything, but it can be a rewarding experience.
Hello all,
I'm curious to see if anyone knows what would be required to port an Inc2 ROM over to the IncS. There are a few threads I've found that don't seem to contain much in the way of concrete information...anyone with a handy guide, or willing to put one together?

there are guides out there, but honestly some roms will port with just a few lib changes and a new prop and service jar...others require serious debugging and hours spent looking through logcats
depends on if it was a stock rom for the device or if you are trying to port a port...which porting a port isnt recommended
Hi, all. I picked up a new GSII from USCC a few days ago and I wondered what exactly has to be done to port CWM and/or roms from the E4GT to our phone. I'm hoping that the process will be fairly simple since our GSII is identical to the E4GT, excluding the WiMax radio.
Bear in mind that I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 before you give me Windows answers. But any and all help is appreciated. Your positivity could be the help I need to become a real dev.
Until you guys get a kernel source drop (Sammy's too busy violating the GPL... again...), it'll be difficult to know what is and is not actually different.
You may get lucky and it'll primarily be a kernel swap and maybe a RIL swap - but not guaranteed.
Source has dropped on Samsung site https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone under SCH-R760U. Anyone give us some help on this, I'm also willing to give some porting a go, just need a little kick in the right direction.
