[Q] Sense Port to Xperia S

Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible to port sense ui from htc to xperia s.
I've read many threads about porting and also porting sense. Found this guide on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707177
But i had some issues. I tried CM9.1 as Base and one v rom as port rom (extracted ruu and copyed over some folders)
-> didn't boot... i had no problems while flashing... but then there just came a stock android bootscreen logo but nothing happend.
I wasn't sure about which device would fit the best for porting and how to get started the best.
Would be nice to get some help!
Thanks!

You want only the UI or the whole Sense?

Full sense!
I know its hard to do it but i really like sense!
And i think its worth it

Indeed it is really hard. You'd have to get a dev that would want to have such a big job...

Which devs do we have for xperia s?
And who would do this?^^
Do you have xperience with porting Roms?

There aren't many, mostly none wants to do it and I don't have experience. I can't badly change a png myself without my phone almost exploding.

Thats Bad/ sad.
I know sense is very complex
I would try to do it myself for the beginning but i dont have much experience.. all i need would be some information on how to get started and which device would make 'sense' to port sense from.
But i also know i can't do it alone. Sadly I dont have the knowledge.

I think the Sensation HD would be a good choice. I don't know if it has the latest Sense, but it is the closest HTC device to ours (basically, it is the same thing with different design and UI)

Alright..
For porting, do i have to use a stock Rom or can i also try to port a custom Rom of the HTC sensation or would that make it harder?
And if i use a stock Rom, do i have to extract the Rom from a ruu or are there other ways to get stock Rom?

I think any custom Sense should do.
Sorry, don't know anymore

Would be amazing to make this possible !
Okay but thanks

you could just google for "htc sensation hd stock rom", there are so many sources serving the stock roms.

Of this is really that simple everyone would do it,but unfortunatly it's not :/

I know that there are many sources but i've never seen a stock rom as zip file .
You always have to download ruu and then extract firmware and kernel files..
But at least it is not the Problem to get a stock Rom

I think i can help you here
If you were stuck at bootscreen, then replace the android_servers.so in system/lib of the ported rom with the android_servers.so file of original rom(i.e. rom made for xperia s)
Let me know if its working or not and if possible can you send me a link of your ported rom..

I can help with testing, as long as you send me it after December 11th.

[Q] Need Help for BBM

Excuse me sir,is there any rom with this minimum requierments ?

i need that kind of Rom for BBM in my Galaxy Gio ?

Waiting to
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

waiting too.. i've installed cm 10, but the BBM can't open, it's FC
*sorry for my english

There's no version 3.x kernel available for gio, also it has only an armv 6 processor, so theres probably no chance to run it.
Maybe someone will port it for armv6

all we need just to be patient till someone find how to fix that :fingers-crossed:

Hello Guys,
Anyone knows where can I find a stock rom for a Desire 300 ? I've search on HTC Dev but I only found binaries to build one(I think), but I don't have much time to play with it myself.
I saw #nabel_sweed posted some stock rom but I'm not 100% sure how to install it on my brick. Do I need a ATP connection and to it old school, with recovery\boot via atp terminal on my PC ?

any updates for cyanogenmod ?

You can find official up to 4.4.2, about android L well I think it's too soon to tell, there are no sources available possible cyanogen will bring it but we're not sure if will be compatible with the multi sim framework

i really suggest you but the i9190/i9195 because the dual sim variant will have some dual sim issues with custom roms .. etc .. for now its okay but who knows when android L arrives :angel:

I'll certainly buy a non-duos phone if I find one because every body wants dual phones in my country. I've got 3 other questions:which is better s3 4g or s4 mini(in terms of performance and development) and will rooting , installing custom roms or even factory reset relock an unlocked phone(I'm talking about sim lock) ??? And if I buy a locked (like orange locked phone) will i still be able to install ROMs and root the same way i do for an originally unlocked phone??
