[Q]What is the possibility of KitKat for the HTC Desire CDMA? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering there was going to be any kikat develement for the cdma desire

I've tryed myself make the cdma rom by using some of HTC Desire GSM unofficial roms. But problem is: phone is not booting after flashing. I've tried to change build prop lines to cdma settings and use original jellybean boot.img instead, but annot fix it. And can't find the thread about it!
P.S. Possibility of using GSM JB roms we have after somebody previously make ICS & JB fix for CDMA Desire. And explanation in that thread about build prop chainges for CDMA instead of GSM. Will be wiiting. If I find or make one, so will test & continue CDMA Desire KitKat thread...

[Q] About Latest Radio

Hi,
I see the latest version CyanogenMod which is CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1 for Desire GSM V7.0.0 announced today in thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11411840#post11411840) and also latest radio "32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17" for HTC Desire (GSM) in thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464).
Shoul I use this radio "32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17" for installing CyanogenMod which is CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1 for Desire GSM V7.0.0 or an other?
Thanks...
You can use whichever radio you want as long as you follow proper flashing procedure and you pair it with a correct ril, which you have in separate thread there.

What does RIL do? I keep seeing it around on the forum but sort of read about it but non the wiser. Is it seperate to the actual radio but linked to it?
Yeah, kind of. Think of ril as drivers software and the radio image as bios for your device's radio hardware.

It's a GSM ROM, CDMA ROMs have CDMA in their titles. GSM ROMs are much more abundant than CDMA I am afraid.
What rom would u pick if u had a cdma desire?
I would use the 2.3 Gingerbread CyanogenMod-7 RC1.

[Q][DEV] Looking for info for converting gsm rom to cdma

Hello, I saw and tried the cdma version of Keiran's Darkforest ROM, while I like how smooth and the Sony Ericsson launcher is but I missed t-mobile's theme chooser from team freexperia's cm7 rom. I was hoping some devs would tell/write what some of the key differences are between gsm and cdma are. I've read somewhere that one core is for radio and another is for everything else and the radio core is the reason why're so different. Idk how true that last sentence is though.
why not download the cdma version of cm7?
Because I want to try and convert other gsm roms to cdma.
You'd be the first to convert a PLAY GSM rom to CDMA if you do, so good luck
Seeing as all roms are different what one in specific do you want to convert?
What about KeiranFTW's Darkforest rom? I thought that was a conversion?
And I have a couple I'd want to do imo the first one I'd try to do is ICS MIUI from pricey2009's thread. I've seen a number of posts/threads saying its possible so this thread is to ask for devs and ppl to post what they know and try to make it work.
start by replacing the following libs with the cdma variants
libcm.so
libgsdi_exp.so
libgstk_exp.so
libmmgsdilib.so
libnv.so
liboncrpc.so
libpbmlib.so
libril.so
libril-qc-1.so
libuim.so
libwms.so
Alright, I'll try with doom's kernel and see how it goes.
although I think the kernel might need some work or it could be the miui rom. because just replacing those ^ files my phone wont go past the booting DooMkernel screen. Wiped data, cache from stock rom before I ran the miui updater script.
Any news or updates on your attempts at converting a GSM rom to CDMA?
Not anything new unfortunately. : (
I don't think converting the aokp from was new either as its cm9 based so I did the same thing as pax did for cm9. Except super venom did the real work compiling it with Xperia vendor/ parts whatever.

The most we can do is in ICS.
AOKP/CM9 are fully compatible from a GSM variant.
Sony Beta is a different story.

[Q] How do I port a GSM ROM to CDMA? OR.. is it possible to makre CDMA Patch?

Seeing as how CDMA users are on the short end of the leash for ROM selections, I have given it some thought and though I do not know much in the way of porting and or programing for that matter I would like to attempt to port a GSM ROM to the R800x. Can anyone give me some advice and or tips on how to go about that? Thank you in advance.
Or, is it possible to simply make a CDMA Patch that you flash separately to make a GSM ROM work with the CDMA R800x?

There is a patch in the cm9 nightly build thread that kerian made that I guess works on most aosp builds..I've ported the gsm version of cm7 to cdma changing some libs, a few build prop tweaks,and changing the updater script. You should pm pax(Peter) he may know more about it then I since I'm so use to gsm models

I was thinking of trying to port some of the awesome ROMs here, like true ancestor, jokawild, etc. Obviously I would ask for each Devs permission. I want to retain the Xperia PLAY framework as I game a lot on my phone.
On a side note I do have the CDMA Patch but its for CM7 and or CM9....... is it possible to use this for the Xperia GSM ROMs?
I did PM Pax as you recommended,
I was also looking in on how to do this. I've actually been trying to make jokawild work on cdma

Well I have tried multiple times and spend hours on this. Had to ftf a few times as my fastboot almost stopped working. It would flash green a couple times then go dark. Battery pulled a few times and was able to ftf back. Now back to my nandroid. Not sure where to proceed. I even tried the CM9 cdma patch as a base, not the files from it just poked around to get an idea. I do say that trueancestor does give full rom but no cdma or 3g data. But you can ply with the full rom on cdma.

is it posiible to port gsm ics roms to bravoc

Ok so there is alot of development for bravo on ics but only one option for bravoc, as far as ics roms go. Is it possible to change a few files and port the rom to cdma. I read somewhere that you can just replace the kernel with a cdma one, but i have not tested that because I cant seem to get the bravoc kernels from the bcm cm9 rom by DK_zero-cool

When I use to have my desire, flashing a CDMA kernel over a GSM ROM never seemed to work for me. I did successfully boot an ICS ROM, however, by overwriting some files inside the ROM (can't remember which ones). The only problem was that it was not fully functional and had many problems... There is one ICS ROM that I know of that works with the CDMA version of the desire: see HERE.
Guess I'll stick to bcm and hope the lagging is getting fixed
