This isn't another one of those 'can somebody port Sense' threads.
Please note that this thread is for developer-oriented discussion. If you don't have anything to say to help development, please refrain from posting here.
Also note that ideas are welcome. Just check if the idea you're about to post has already been posted by somebody else.
Right now, it's just multiple people working on this. No team, just individuals.
As of the last edit of this post, there has been little to no progress:
I'm constantly working on builds. The current, and the only goal I'll be striving towards as of now is using a T-Mo HTC One X ROM in combination with RaymanFX's CM10.1 RC2 build.
XDA RC @abcdjdj has reported that he has fixed a lot of errors in his build, and is now stuck at the bootanimation. If you can help him in any way, here is what's wrong with his build. He's using FXP's CM9 as a base and a 4.0 HTC One X with Sense 4 ROM as a port.
The OP will constantly be updated with any progress anyone makes.
We're currently using this XDA thread to help us port the ROM.
--------------------------------
Here's everything I have to share on my build:
PORT: HTC One X, T-Mobile Edition| Android 4.2.2
BASE: Sony Xperia S, nozomi | Android 4.2.2
------------------------
ITesters needed. If you can work through adb commands and can provide me with logcats, please leave a post about it in the thread.
And finally, a note to anyone that may be cursing me for working so very slow (because I admit, this is very slow):
Please understand that all this isn't easy for me. I have painfully slow internet, making each download at least one hour, and thus a pain. My time on this project is limited every day, so progress is slow.
Reserved.

Okay, so this is the work that has already been done and some of the mysteries that puzzle me right now:
I've edited the CM9 kernel's ramdisk, like stated in the tutorial I'm using (see post 1). As of now, the kernel itself is broken and even if the ROM was complete, not even the booting would work. (Well, booting works as far as showing the boot logo (the green FXP one) goes. But the LED notification light for entering recovery doesn't light. Bootloop over and over...)
Many of the lib files intended to be copied from one lib folder to the other are missing on our Nozomis... My question is, what are the consequences...?
My main issue here is that the zip won't flash. The recovery (no matter which I choose) just returns an 'ERROR' and refuses to flash the file...
Another question would be how to repack an .elf kernel into a boot.img. Because now, I'm trying with letting the CM9 kernel in the zip (since it is an .img) and then flash the modified .elf kernel that I repacked with Flashtool. Inefficient, but at least there's a way.
So currently, the priority list would be:
1.Get zip to flash
2.Fix kernel
...Not necessarily in that order. We could fix the kernel first, but there isn't much gain to it if the ROM zip can't even be flashed to test if it truly works...

Bro, it may be possible to get Sense on our devices. Even I have been working on getting Sense booted on our device. My status:-
PORTED FROM - HTC ONE X
BASE - FXP 215 CM9
STATUS - Gets past kernel and even loads bootanimation. Fixed many errors in the logcat. Gets stuck at bootanimation and even displays a message saying that System is not responding, would you like to close it.
I couldn't manage to fix any more errors in the logcat so I gave up but you have rekindled my spirit to get Sense booting on out device. I will upload my rom soon along with the logcat.
Cheers,
abcdjdj
Wow, you actually got the thing to boot?
The only question is how did you manage that based off of a tegra CPU? Would be very interested in seeing that...
On a not-so-very related note, your port was of ICS and Sense 4 , correct?
Am I the only one around here that favors old software?

Not fully booting but I think close to booting. I followed the guide mentioned by you in the OP and one by one eliminated all errors that I could eliminate. I had been working on Sense for around a month during my school holidays but now I am not getting any free time. And yes it is Sense 4 (Android 4.0.4).

But isn't the Tegra3 completely different than our FUJI board?
Especially the graphics, those must be out of control on your ROM...
If I were you, I'd at least take the AT&T version of the HOX.
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: is it the same if I try and port from a MSM8260 board (the same as the Xperia) and the later S4 Qualcomm versions (used in the Xperia T, AT&T One X etc.)? Because porting from a CDMA phone (HTC Rezound) seems to make the work harder...
Thankfully, my summer holidays have just begun, so I have plenty of free time (that's also the reason I started my project).
P.S.
Yeah, maybe that's exactly what I should do. Ditch the CDMA phone and start with the Snapdragon S4 One X!
I would prefer Sense 3.x, but oh well, at least Sense4 is also Sense

I just found this. It's not even that old...
Anyways, I've been thinking if the devs of this would be able to help us.
This development stuff gets boring pretty quick when you do it for the 10th time
@samuel2706, could you give these guys a little hand?
But he's a HTC Dev... Wouldn't we need something more like a nexus or better yet a Xperia developer?

Well, I thought I'd make this thread so that devs could help each other to actually work together and create a working Sense ROM. So naturally, all help is welcome from anyone.
Anyways, I'm on my way to finishing yet another try, this time with the AT&T One X. Fingers crossed that it at least makes it to the bootanimation.
EDIT: I see that the easiest way to get Gapps is with including the default /data folder from the original HTC ROM (with vending, youtube etc.). But I have to add that to the updater-script. So, I want to ask, is /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 the data partition on the Nozomi?
What's happening?

Hi,
I am porting [or trying to port] Sense 4 from HTC One X to Xperia S. I used FXP 214 CM9 as a base. I followed this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
Then I fixed as many errors as I could by checking the logcat and got it till the Bootanimation. But now I need help to get it to boot. So, I have attached the logcat from my latest build.
Thanks for your help,
abcdjdj
Maybe copying a few more files could help. Maybe act like your xperia is a HTC device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
Could be worth a try and play with this copying a bit...
Seems to be failing at dalvik; very strange, it doesn't show any major errors on first glance however I'll take a longer look at when I can, however I can link you to this thread that may help you in the meantime Porting
What about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276871
Nice and automated, but the question is, will it work?
I'm trying it with the HOX, just need to wait for it to copy to the phone...
All this seems like a big race -- who will get it working first? Hyped!
Kinda makes me wish I still had my xperia S I could have given this a real good go at; but instead I have a galaxy s4, so it's going to be mostly logcats and such I can help with, I don't like blind building things; made that mistake before.
A blind build is better than no build. Unless it makes bricks...
Thanks a lot for helping out.
Though I'll never understand how a pro HTC dev can go to Sony and then Samsung. ;P
I just hope THIS time my kernel will boot... Cause if it doesn't ... [censored]...
EDIT: Okay, [censored] is happening... Why can't I make this zip flash? I've done it a million times, but all I get is ERROR... ;-;
unfotunatly, i'm not a dev. but i really like the idea. specially if considering porting htc one sense version to our nozomi. i think it would fit like a glove
Hello brothers, first of all i like to thank all who helped me root my device (HTC ONE V),
now that i have rooted my device (superuser), i want to avail the benefits of it but so far i am lacking in proper guidance.
so i have a couple of questions to which i want help with ..
1) i want to remove htc sense stuff which slows my device (takes up ram) and control whats in my ram and increase cpu speed.
2) i would to install a custom rom/kernal but i dont know which one is the most suitable for me ( i want which give max performance n stats etc etc) and does installing rom formats your apps and data ??
3) i saw this rheosoft ram expander software and there is this internal storage app as well, so i want to do both with my sd card ( 8 gb ) and yet have space for my regular use.
i would really appreciate if anyone can guide me even in one of my questions.
Thank you

Hi folks,
I've got a new desire EYE, and I'm really excited about android development, previusly I've followed the HTC one s forum (but two weeks ago someone stole my beloved device), I'm not a developer, I'm just curious and I want to learn.
This is my first post in this forum and before going on I want to say that I really appreciate all the efforts made by developer, so I want to contribute, in my little.
After flashing this rom and look in the catlog to find out something about the front camera bug I've found that was missing a lib and that the camera button wasn't working... So this is my fix!
- for the camera button: just add
Code:
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
key 211 FOCUS
in /system/usr/keylayout/device-keypad.kl
- the front camera: the catlog say that lib "libhtc_humanprocess.so" was missing in system/lib
push this lib from /data/app/com.htc.camera-1/lib/arm/ and voilà the camera is working!
I would like to post this in the tread, but this is my first post, hope I can help in the future
I would ask if someone could point me some tips about building kernel for this device, i will be very grateful
Sorry for my bad enghlis!

Wow thank you so much for the help and i hope this can enable camera for android development for the HTC EYE. it is such a cool device yet support is little due to the camera.

See as I have explain I can't use any of my cameras without short circuiting my battery. So I have my ribbons disconnected , that's why I couldn't fix it myself.... But my question is did you push my camera fixes and then libhtc_humanprocess.so or what... Next rom update already has GPS fixed. Just need to narrow down the camera issue .

Wish i could be a little more savy and assist you. I tried your rom with the camera fix. (that work with back camera but front one freezes) and tried running ADB from my pc and it gave me an "Access denied". when i tried using LOGCAT, it told me it could not write a log.txt file.
Does your rom have read and write permission enabled? what do you suggest?
Thanks!

I've flashed camera camera fix 2 and after that i've pushed the missing lib (i've noticed that it was missing also in the rom zip)
Can I ask one question about s-off?
I remember that I've s-off my one s (about two years ago) because if the phone is still s-on is impossible to flash kernel directly from recovery (and it must be done using fastboot). After flashing your rom my device was stuck in recovery and it want boot after forcing reboot.. I tried to flash charm kernel zip from recovery and the phone boot.. so my question is: I still have to flash kernel by fastboot? just for information
However i'm running insertcoin rom from about five hours and it's incredible fast and smooth! Everything is working aside GPS, but if you said that you alredy have a fix that's a great news!

@xXminiWHOOPERxX
I am S-Off ... Do you want me to test anything?
Should I wait for version 1.1, or do you want me to flash and test something on version 1.0 ?
@xXminiWHOOPERxX I just tried the fix given by @agnostu on V 1.0, and I can confirm that the front camera now works 100%. Thanks agnostu!
Now the only thing that is broken is the location. Can you provide a quick patch? or should we wait for version 1.1?

i don't think our phone can support android 8.1 it not the RAM that you need to make the phone run we have a low CPU and GPU too
so i don't think that but i am going to try to use it i will tell what will be the result that i will get but i think some other dev's can get another result i am still a noob in android development

Hi everyone. I've updated my pixel 3 xl to android 11 beta 3.
Since 4g ram is really too small. It badly influence my daily use, I just tried to enable swap, but every time when swap start to work, system jammed. I could not do anything but restart system to recover. It really bothers me a lot. Does google stock kernel block the swap function?
Can anyone help me to enable swap and make it work normally? Thank you so much.
Really appreciate your help and thank you very much in advance
I don't know kernel operation and android system. I've tried to solve and find a solution. But failed......................
Hope someone could help me
Why no one help me?
