Cool. If you're interested, you could use this as a project to learn development yourself
I actually don't know where to start with a sense ROM. I can compile AOSP from source, but not sure how you get the proprietory files into a sense ROM and get it compatible.

I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Thunderbold = CDMA!?
So i think its really comlicated to port this to an GSM device!?
(sorry if im wrong )

Well you could use dsixda porting tools to extract the kernel etc from a base rom. This may do the whole job or perhaps part of it.

And there is always CDMA Desire.

Hi,
r u sure its Sense 2.1...?
My Bad..its sense 2.1...let see what can i do...

Hi,
ok its look like that...but quite harder for making it GSM ROM...
BTW check this ROM...its old sense but with android 2.3.4..

I wonder if Desire GSM will get 2.3.4.

Like Teripin said though. CDMA desire gets no love. Go one, give them a cool rom, you know you want to

[For Devs] android 4.1 jellybean

NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THIS TO YOUR PHONE> IT WILL HARD BRICK!
this is for any dev that wants to try and port android jellybean to the s3 Tmobile version. they already ported it to the internationl version so i think that might make it a little easier. here is the OP in the international section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737449

Hmmm...
Wonder if we could take that ROM, change the updater-script to match our mounting points....then we just need a kernel....

Which we have one kernel already made. Not sure if it would work though.
If anyone would help set up a build environment that would work for our kernels and roms then I will gladly help and start learning.

I think we'd need a stock CM9 based kernel though. If I understand correctly.

Well, it shouldn't take too long. It may be possible to build a CM9 Kernel for our phones using parts of the stock kernel that we have access to.

Once the JB source is released, an S3 port might actually be viable. Otherwise it's essentially just flashing a gnex image and praying something/anything works.

a CM9 kernel shouldn't be needed, just a modded kernel for our specific phone from what i believe.

We know this, but it's more of an experiment. Also, it helps work out anything we may need to do early on with the modules and drivers

Why not take this ROM, change the updater-script for our mount points, remove the flashing of the boot.img, flash ROM then flash the kernel Roman release?
Think that would work?

It could, in theory. But we would need to work on the modules for anything to work. Could you post our mount points?

why does it have to be a cm9 kernel?

to be completely honest, as soon as we get a cm9 alpha, we will see some worth while stuff! but until then. TouchWiz it iz. We will have team kang's AOKP in no time im sure. i cant wait to see wuts to come. especially since this phone is at all the major carriers and they are all basically exactly the same! should be epic.

yea i think once one of the other major carriers (or ares) get cm9 then we will see some awesome stuff for everyones phone!
I think that the only thing that makes them different is the radios in the phone

Problem porting a ROM

Im trying to port a ROM for the Droid Incredible from the LG G2X and I cant even flash it . Clockwork recovery gets stuck at installing update... What did I do wrong?

Depends on what kind of ROM you're trying to port.

It's a stuck ROM btw I'm sure you know but I'm a n00b so spare me LOL. I followed procedures to changing files but it wont flash.

I made sure it's a zip file and i tested it with 7zip when I put it on my sd-card

So... Is this question dead now? No support? *sigh*

Check my sig for a port guide

Not sure you can port an LG ROM to and HTC phone. Too many proprietary stuff for both. Most phones firmware is not interchangeable between what different devices. The only exception is AOSP and even then we still have some problems.

its extremely hard (if not bordering improbable) to port oem skin roms from different manufacturers
the amount of things that has to be changed, as well as kernel levels mods are prohibitive....id say get familiar with a) making stock roms and later on b) porting sense roms phone to phone to learn whats going on first

[q] Upgrading hboot? Worth it?

Hi all!
I've seen a lot of talk about new versions of hboot around lately but what I'm not seeing is what they bring, and if it's worth going through the rigmarole to get the updated version installed and then having to modify my boot.img for CM10 nightlies to work etc. etc.
In short:
What do new version of hboot do for us?

The ability to install JB ROMs with Sense.

rom or wait for official?

So ive got a D851, and as most of you know, Lollipop still isnt out yet, should be out soon no doubt, but ive read that there are a lot of bugs and issues and what not with the official version of Lollipop. So my question is, would i be better off waiting for the official Lollipop or getting a L based rom?

Yes but it's only a matter of time before a fix comes out. Nothing better than running stock official firmware. Too many roms have different bugs. Unless you want try and find the one that has less.

I guess youre right. Thanks!

Either way, you're going to have bugs. Some are very well documented on any device for which Lollipop has been released.
My thought is to wait for the custom ROMs based from the D851 stock. By that time, many of the existing bugs will have been squashed or have acceptable work-arounds. You also end up with the best of both worlds, think of it as customized stock.

From what I hear, official Lollipop has a lot of bugs or rather annoying quirks, and that no had yet to find a way to unlock the bootloader, so would it be smart to wait for the official update, or root right now and get a L based rom?

I guess it really doesn't matter what you download and flash. Official lollipop has bugs and any L rom you get now has many bugs also. As for me I'm sticking with zonerom until something solid comes out.

Wait.. I tried AOSP, but no go..
1. No Wifi calling
2. Camera features not as good as LGs
3. no Laser focus
4. No Knock code
5. My BT to headset stuttered on AOSP
etc

I played with a couple of the roms last week. The plus is the battery, it rocks. Couple bugs: 1. Touch sensitivity is not very good 2. Radio (noticed I lost connection in places I normally don't)
