Hello Dev and everyones, currently I have mytouch4g. I love Sense and want to get LGX2, is it easier to port Sense to LG firmware? Reason I ask because I never see Samsung galaxy s series, 4G, Nexus S have any Sense port all they have is AOSP rom like CM7, Miui etc... Is it because Samsung use different file system? Can sense be ported to LG? Or should I wait and get Sense phone like Evo 3d, HTC Pyramid?
Thank you

Sense isn't open source, that's why you'll never really see it ported to another device. Pretty much the only option would be to get a Sense phone.

Thanks, so if I decide to get LGX2 or Samsung s 2 I will never see Sense on those phone? Only option is to get HTC phone?

Exactly. It's kind of like how you'll never see MotoBlur or Touchwiz on any non-Moto or non-Samsung device (although I don't know why you would want to with those). The reasons all non-sense roms are AOSP is exactly because it is open source, and can be modified and programmed to cater to specific devices.

HTC Wildfire S has ARMv6 processor, and MIUI is made for phones with ARMv7 processors.. So no MIUI for us

That's nonsense.
its not about the processor......its about the HUGE resizing which is main pain in the butt..........you do know ICS is meant for ARMv7 and above processors but it is running quite smooth on my friend's Wildfire.....
MIUI is the most good looking rom for any android phone. It would be great if we manage to port it to hdpa screen.

My mistake, didn't know that MIUI is open source now.. but just like csoulr666 said.. there is huge resizing and it requires lot of knowelge about programming.. it would be great if somebody ports it to ours wilfire s
First Miui ROM coming soon
I did it, I worked about 20 hours to port miui onto our phones
Alpha test comes soon!
I wont port it to WFS, I hate resizing, I had it to do a lot already in HenseMod for the custom theming.
For MIUI there's also a special framework, like htcresources.apk, which makes it difficult to port to WFS.
However, I've got some things in my mind and on my mac, expect end next week a flashable zip for CM7 users to turn your phone into MIUI.

Mine's an A510a and it's GSM with SIM.
Could this be the reason why porting to metro pcs phones requires more work? Or is this just a little miss understanding?

I really don't know, as I don't do much developing. I leave that to the pros.
However, I am willing to test anything on this phone just to get rid of HTC Sense. I have an LG Optimus M I can always fall back on.
I will also say that MetroPCS is a CDMA only carrier, and the original WFS required a SIM card and ours does not. Maybe they got HTC to modify the phone for them?
But the phone manual says its an A510a. insink made a MetroPCS stock ROM with a2sd support and that's what I'm currently using, and it was even labeled for A510a only.
Ill be kinda upset if I just bought a phone that's impossible to develop ROMS on lol
Sent from my HTC-PG762 using XDA App
Apologies. I just left the MetroPCS store, paying my bill. I inquired about my phone being an A510a. They told me that my phone manual isn't correct, and that it is indeed an A510c.
Again, I was misinformed. And I apologise.

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
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ Sense 4.1
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.

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?

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.

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?

There is no way to get the "Official" GPE on the Verizon HTC One because it is only intended for the GSM HTC One. But the direction that user brholt6 has pointed you in is the closest thing to a GPE HTC One as your going to get. It does require some extra things to be done first, as in S-Off, rooted, and custom recovery, but after that all you have to do is install the ROM.
I don't know your personal level of knowledge on customizing phones, but all the stuff needed is pretty straight forward and can be done following guides on this site and others.

GPE is nice, and its cool that @santod040 released 4.4.4.(props for being fast and first to do so) might have to try this. 4.4.4 runs great on my N7
As for the over heating, those that were on CM were getting the over heating problem and although CM is technically AOSP its still highly modified AOSP. All the AOSP roms we have, besides bucks, uses CM tree. So they all inherit the same problems.

Yeah, it's still not the full source code for the 'L" platform though.
So it would take some hackery to make it work on the m7 and without "L" binaries and proprietaries for the m7, it wouldn't be all that functional, in my opinion.
