I know absolutely nothing about compiling roms let alone actually porting them, but if somebody out there can get their hands on the new Android L source from the SDK (Nexus 7 i believe?) and compile it for the Desire HD/Inspire 4G (ace) then that would be so awesome. Anyways, just a request. Figured if it can run KitKat why not Android L.
I don't think the full source is available yet, only some GPL parts.
Also, it's not quite as simple as KitKat -> L. A good developer with the time might be able to, but it's tough.
Does anyone know if the hardware of the desire hd is generally compatible and has enough ressources to run android lollipop?
Well now a full AOSP source is out for all nexus devices

very interested to see if the amazing people can make android L 5.0 run on our htc dhd phones , from what i have heard the requirements are lesser than previous android builds ? and new compiler ?
If I knew how to compile I would do anything, including getting a Linux distro and waiting overnight for the compilation, but again, I have no idea how. Except I know you should use BBQ Linux
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There doesn't seem to be any discussions in this devices forum for future development
Now that source is available and there are early "working" custom builds for several other devices ....
Are there any developers still working with Desire HD who would/are looking at a Lollipop ROM??

Where did you see that?
Didn't find it at XDA or Google?
When I remember correctly, the Wildfire S has an ARMv6 for which Android Runtime (ART) has no support.
And in Android 5 Dalvik VM was removed and ART is default Runtime.

Are you talking about the OpenDesireProject, under android_device_htc_ace, on github?
I see they've pushed cm-12, although I'm a complete newbie in Android. They'll probably finish the work before I really get into the subject, but I hope I can learn and possibly help with the development. My old HTD Desire HD and me will be very thankful!

What's going to be new in cm7.3?
My guess is jellybean animations.
Few more devices.
Raft of new bug fixes.
Anything else?
Or just forget cm7.3 and use evolve jellybean?

As long as automatic keystroke logs can be read by every application, I personally prefer rather to wait for CM 7.3 than to install CM 7.2
Have a look at this:
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4735
When I stumbled over this, I couldn't believe it
They didnt changed anything in the nightly builds since 9 weeks (18th Nov).... looks like they stop developing and 7.3 only will become a big Bugfix-Release.
edit: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#bravo/cm7/1353824529
I would love CM10 on Desire, but they dont make it
I have VJ's CM10-ROM (Android 4.1.2, V3.0), whichs is really nice (beside a few minor bugs).
My phone is much smoother and faster with CM10.... i really cant understand why they dont bring CM10 for Desire
maybe android 4 is best choice.
maybe cm7.2 is last release for 7.x.
so..

So, a link would be nice... as far as I know they dropped because of the hardware limitation of the Snapdrogen Gen. 1.
But its proven that CM10(.1) works well.

I have to agree with cm for dropping support.
The general hackiness has always kept me away from jb/cm10 I gave up after 2 weeks as games and the system in general are slower.
For example try jetpack joyride in gb then try it in jb/cm10.

Definitely no. Cyanogen team has moved on to 10.2.

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

I agree that it could be a very good opportunity, im just saying dont get your hopes up i suppose :/ we just about got got 4.1.2 from this dev here . alot of the "main players" have moved on from this device and i dont think we would have the skill to manage this. to start off with we would need a 3.4 kernel i believe, and i dont think they re-introduced support for non gpu devices in 4.3 kitkat so we would need to implement all the hacks that were required to get ics running and port them over to kitkat.
its a nice idea, but to be honest i think the amount of hours it would need to make it function may not actually work towards a stable daily driver
i`m amazed the wildfire got this far to be honest, and im happy i was here for it

We are waiting for Android KitKat to be released, we need a device that has a QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels
AFAIK it would run without a 3.4 or even a 3.8 kernel. But the current 2.6 kernel would slow it down. Only very experienced devs can make properly working kernels. And we have almost no 'real' "i build from source" dev left in this forum. (not offensive, i appreciate the work of any dev/porter/whatever here )
4.1 is also running fine with that old arco - kernel but its really slow maybe because of the hardware maybe because of the kernel. I think its a mix of both components.
I tried with @kylon to get a functioning overclock kernel for the htc wildfire bee, (cdma device) and we couldn't manage to get it stable, and that's the buzz's sister phone. It shares almost all the same hardware :/ so I don't think it will be an easy task.

Just my 2p worth but doesn't kitkat and the kernel associated with it look for integrated GPU's which the wildfire simply doesn't have, so if someone was to create a kernel for kitkat you would have to emulate a GPU on the CPU which would slow down the phone to a unusable piece of crap.
Good idea but i doubt it's viable.

Agreed. Ics barely ran without the kernel hacks to make it run. Though it is said that kitkat should be less resource hungry.

While it's possible I have no idea what hacks were done to make it work. We needed kernel hacks for gingerbread....

If the companies would make Android 4.0+ for old devices , few people would buy the new ones .. well maybe not few but less .. and if course , it cost them money to develop the Android 4.0+ on these devices .. All they want is money so .. no hope for official updates.

You can always find the latest nightly here.
Just have a look at this section. There are several 4.4 ROM's. I'm using the Evervolv Rom with the nightly from 17.12.2013 and it works like a charm. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766550)
Can devs port the L images of either N5 or N7 and make a ROM out of it or can devs do something with the system dump of the L ?
Porting from a N5 or 7 is next to impossible. It might be possible to build it from source. But kitkat was tricky too. I have faith in the awesome devs here so lets see when they manage to get it booting.

We can't build from source as L isn't merged in AOSP yet.

If is posible port ART to GNeX, Android L is posible in GNeX, the only hard work is on new drivers device.

ART Came with KitKat as a Developer option for testing the new Run Time and allowing app developers to optomize their apps.
As mentioned above Android "L" needs to be merged with AOSP before we can build it from source. Some say that may happen in fall. I think personally Google should merge the preview so Developers can prepare for other devices instead of just Allowing Nexus 5 and Nexus 7(2013) users get to work on it.
Allowing it to be merged early would allow better feedback and preparing App Dev's for the new API's
