Is anybody working on a sense JB based ROM at the moment or is there one out there that I may have missed that I can test run?

I don't think your supposed to post this here, but there is a post somewhere in the general section for One V talking about it.
On a side note: A lot of people, I believe at least, are waiting for it to be port to a device with a "not so different" screen then ours or more similar hardware.

Go there. Not possible without help from HTC though, I think.

Please do not post questions in development sections. Moved to Q&A.

HTC wont be releasing an official JB rom for the OneV but eventually, they will release something similar enough that we can port. We have no hardware limits, like the wildfire S does/did so the sky is totally our limit
The one x+ shipped with sense jellybean I will try to learn ROM porting this Christmas after I learn kernels

please, port the camera from sense!
I hate sense - it looks ugly and old fashioned! But the camera would be welcome.. I miss it.. the one on PA ( and I guess all JB roms) sucks..
TBH this forum seems a bit lonely... and my EpicParts question was easily abandoned
Whatever, greetings and happy new year to every one out there!
Today I happen to dig out a Sense 4 ROM for our E4G which boots, doesn't reboot THAT often and is resized well (what, you want links? I think that's a private workspace and maybe I shouldn't tell). But what bugs me most is that SystemUI (statusbar) always FCs for no reason and I can't do anything with that.
So here I got a HTC Incredible S ("vivo", which is the port base for our Sense 2.1 ROM) with a fully-functional Sense 4.1 build. Everything's working and things are better sized for WVGA. And it's smooth. Considering it's a single core device, I think there is already no obstacle blocking the port (I know that Sense4All project paused because One X is a quad core device and gets all sorts of reboots. Correct me if I'm wrong).
Thus, I wanna ask, as a non-coding noob:
1) Is porting process the same as common tutorials (copying frameworks, libs, etc)?
2) If not, is this even possible (to have Sense 4.1 ported from vivo)?
3) If not, again, what can I do to improve my current build on hand (i.e. simply stopping the SystemUI FC and maybe adding more HWA)? I don't intend to use the ROM as a daily driver... Just a tool for showing off
So... Thanks again for reading the thread and hope you can offer some guidance

If there was a stable version of Sense 2.1 or 4.0, it would be my daily driver. I really hope this project isn't abandoned.

2.1 is already very usable apart from BT (nah I don't use that), but many devs have already left or are silent. Must be with their new toys. That's why I'm trying to help. If I had time in winter vacation I'll try a bit, but hope not too high
And so I need some guidance and answers... Please. Even one answer will do.

You can try to pickup where our last dev left off,

The issue last reported by xboxfanj was that he too, got many force-closes.

I do want to, but I'm not a code dev and know almost nothing except that "brute-force" porting method, and I don't know whether that will work.
I mean, here I got a fully working Sense 4 build on a SINGLE-CORE device, so is this a proof that porting to us is also possible?

You ported sense 4 to an htc phpne which is much easier than porting it to something not even close to compatible with the hardware so it will be more difficult

But... I said
1) We HAD a now paused project that has ported Sense 4 and made it boot
2) I have a better Sense 4 base ROM (for our device, not HTC's) at hand with fewer random FCs
3) xboxfanj said that the port reboots because One X is quad core, and the ROM will keep searching for the extra cores. But IncS is single core and runs that beautifully (its port is based on One V and Desire X)
And that's why I'm seeking answers.

Part of the problem is that we couldn't port qualcomm roms which would be stable if they booted, but we never got it booting. Tegra is all intercoded into libs and looks for kernel files we don't have which causes it to reboot and be unstable.

To be honest, we never quite figured it out. We never got a proper logcat, since it only gave us unhelpful information, which means it doesn't even start to fully boot.

And this means all my expectes efforts should be in vain, huh?
But check this, I got a Sense 4 ROM from marcusant's site and it's a port from Desire Z, based on One V seemingly. So far apart from all the hardware issues (wifi, cam, sensor), only thing that prevented me from sticking to it is that SystemUI often FCs. And I think that is another base to start on, since IT'S QUALCOMM.

It's SpiderSense.

I think that is just the original ROM but with modified app and framework.

Is that so? There are two items in About Phone indicating phone model. One of them says "HTC One V", which I think is the port source, while the other says "HTC Desire Z", which is the device ported to I assume. I know that these can be modded, but why the hell does anyone take the trouble to mod it to Desire Z when we are Epic 4G? Thus I think it's a Qualcomm port.
Have you looked into it yet? Or maybe it's really your work and you know about it?

I had probably used the desire z build prop as well so it used some lines for our resolution. It's definitely my work. I remember making it..

Thanks for the encouragement, dude, but Senior III is extremely stressful in China, so I don't have time to look into anything that serious for now.

Just as the title says im looking for a good sense rom for our gn2. Please point me in the right direction.

...you do know that sense is only for HTC phones right... and it is closed source so porting sense to a non-HTC phone would cause the dev to get into legal problems and not only that but it is near impossible to do it because the phones are too different. so in short there is not Sense based rom for our phones.
Depending on what custom Rom you use, not tw based. You can get your phone to look like a sense. I've done it practically mirrored the HTC.one x. Themes and launchers can do this

I've seen it done for other phones but it isn't worth the trouble tbh
Agreed Crixley...
Sense seemed to make more problems than it solved for me...
And after 3 HTC devices. ...I converted to this device. ..and IMHO....Touchwiz just kills sense without question. ...g
hello all
i look at the list of roms and its amazing how little support for this device there is. Most roms either discontinued or not been updated for a while.
but i have an idea how we can change this.
i have built cyanogenmod for many devices (xperia play, htc wildfire, htc desire) and even thou most of them wasn't released i wanna make something to share and help keep this device going. i am hoping that if this is successful then we would see or devices running android 5 (if that's what version it is)
so on to the question...
Where do i get the sources to build cyanogenmod for our device?
hope you guys can help me, i really want to start working on this device

which cyanogenmod? we do have already cm 9/10

Well currently there are two devices, the CDMA and GSM. Both have different device trees. Check the Guthubs of Deva like Rukin, Awidawad, Lloir, etc.

cheers because i live in the UK i would only be able to dev the GSM version unless i can find someone to test the CDMA version then i might do both
Can we expect a port for our HOX somewhere in the future? HOX is still a pretty powerful device, I don't have any doubt it would run it with the same or better performance than 4.2.2.
no already confirmed by HTC no update to 4.4 with sense...you have to use custom roms like cm11 carbon rom etc for kitkat
I'm not talking about official update. I'm talking about a port (from HTC One for example).
No more update from htc.because no driver support fron NVIDIA
Sent from my LT26ii using xda premium
a port will never be possible because htc one and all other phones which get kitkat with sense are having a different SoC...and porting from qualcomm to tegra and vise versa is as difficult as getting all engines of a plane into a smart

What if you get the rom and change the build.prop and replace the system folders with the one x folders.

i already said won't work...there are too many things like framework and especially the drivers ! ...there are many libs from qualcomm which can't be ported to a non qualcomm device!
