Why is no one porting MotoBlur and Pulse to the Sapphire MT3G? Why is everyone so stuck on Hero?
There HAVE been blur ports in the past. Do a little research before you make generalized statements. And Hero is more popular because it already came off an HTC device. It's easier to cook.
Please do just a little research before creating a new topic!
now the real question is why we dont see these for the 32a
Moto Blur & Pulse
Question, and maybe someone can direct me where to find it but whats the difference between Pulse, and Motoblur?
Polaris and Ronni... I did research before posting and found only one pulse rom and 3 motoblur roms compared to the hundreds of hero roms. My post was simple and just a question. Why? That was all. If I was a youngster with no forum know how, then your down talking would be understood. Thanks anyway.

Sorry but your post "Why is no one porting MotoBlur and Pulse to the Sapphire MT3G?" makes it seem like you didn't research at all. Like polaris0352 wrote is that Hero is easier to cook plus it's more popular. But i hope it won't be long before we start to see more non-htc roms for our magics!
I think part of the reason is that GPS and WiFi don't work, which means the uptake is a lot less. Once WiFi and GPS are working (which apparently won't happen until Dragon is available) then I'd bet more ports of these roms will start to appear. I like Blur and would make it my permanent rom if the wireless wasn't an issue.

because hero comes from an HTC phone wich would lead one to believe it would be much easier to run on our HTC phones...
motoblur was alright didnt like the feel and its hard to make moto and HTC play nice
Pulse....welll.... i think pulse sucked others like it though
I know there are at least 3 pulse roms that are decent and there are 2-3 blur roms that run enough to use

I've created 32A porting packages for both Pulse and MotoBlur ROM some time ago.

Im running a Blur Rom that WiFi is working on but there were no instructions on partition setup, if any. It is real smooth but when I put my own wallpaper on, it seems to slow down a bit.

Can you Post a Link to the WiFi working Blur?
I've not seen any Blur with WiFi working at all due to the Kernel requirements.
I will have to find the link for you guys. The Rom is running on my MT3G 32B Rooted. Im going to assume that the WiFi works for that Im using WiFi Tether to connect to the internet with my laptop as I type. I will get a link after while. The file name is MotoCliq_v0.5.zip. I think Drizzy put it out. Not for certain though.

The reason for the lack of ports is honestly the firmware being so tied to social aspects. All the "cool" features are in the UI with the social stuff, but the rest of the firmware... well... sucks. I ported both and got bored in a couple days. Hero has new dumps and new versions of sense and the prospect of updating to 1.6 and eventually 2.0 These are done. One dump, one version, no projected future. Not much room to grow. Hero has all the features this does and then some, with the exception of universal inbox and the way launcher reacts. Pulse isnt really much of a ROM, either. Its just a cool UI and a bunch of paid apps put together into a firmware.

I hear ya. I just get tired of looking at the same bottom bar and out of all the times I try to ask for help, no one wants to share on how to get started making my own with my own look. I have seen a hero rom with a somewhat Pulse bottom bar and it looked killer but the slowness of the rom was not bareable.
I actually flashed the new Andriod 2.0 Eclair to my phone. It is a stripped down Rom and has nothing in it but MAN do I like the lock screen and menu play. Very nice, clean and cool. I wish I had Eclair with a MotoBlur look and feel and Hero internals. I do like Blur's social widgets. Nice!

is it possible to, i don't know the correct term to use here, but perhaps port this over to use on our hero devices
or perhaps just a fully customized theme like this, everything here seems to be made from scratch, pretty awesom
if not, no biggie im new to this whole thing, and still very impressed by the work flips, ttg, and all the aosp roms...quite incredible
maybe im just getting caught in the hype and just wanting to much ha
nonetheless a simple correction and info on this is all i ask...also sorry for makin a new thread didn't see anywhere to post this
It's possible, but the amount of work is the question. Really once we have a fully working clean AOSP 1.6 base it won't be too hard, mostly pulling all the T-Mobile & G1 specific elements out.

That Rusty Metal theme kicks ass. I'd love to port them, alas I don't know how!
i would love to try these but i dont have lots of experience ive only done light porting
Well, I sent PMs to the creators of the themes, but it will be tough for them to do since they don't have the phone.
yea im good at replacing png files but when it comes to when files dont add up and different xml files im clueless
rusty metal eoll be a difficult port because the g1 is mdpi
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
That Rusty Metal one is the perfect one for us scrapbookers. I would love to get that one.
yea, these are not a cinch to port since they are for mdpi, as pointed out
its definitely possible though, i may look at it this weekend, but its going to be time-consuming and a royal pain in the arse
I'd just be happy for more themes don't care what they are..was visiting the evo and desire forums..good stuff they got going over there man would those be easier to port rather than g1 themes?

i could probably port them too. im running cm6 test8 (pure vanilla version, made by me). just post links and either me or invisiblek could do something with it.
try to stick with hdpi themes, like ones from the evo/nexus....they are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to port.porting themes from an mdpi device (like the hero, eris, g1, mytouch, mtslide,etc) is bigger pain in the ass than you can imagine

You will never guess what I found in the marketplace! Just for the heck of it I typed in rusty metal and got 2 things. Says they need Open Home to work. Is that a G1 thing or can we download it and use it on our Incredible's?

OK. I did some digging.
I found "More Vintage Less War" ported to the Nexus One here:

That was it, though. I checked the Evo, Desire, and Nexus One forums, and that was the only one of the three I found. I'd still donate to get all three, but one is a good start.

I will port what needs to be added so you get the full look on Froyo.
Edit: Done trying it out now. Needs a little work but, I like it...
This has only been tested on Sky Raider 2.2, should work on other froyo roms. Backup then use at your own risk.
1. For the Rusty Metal theme you can use Open Home Full plus the Rusty Metal theme thats on market w/ my Rusty_Metal_Incredible_froyo.zip.
or
2. My Rusty_Metal_Incredible_froyo.zip with Better Cut and Launcher Pro.
I'm uploading it now, we should start another thread for it though. Right?

Thanks by the way
Edit: Just to clarify, I am less concerned about icons/launcher dock, etc. I can do that already with LauncherPro. I was more concerned with the notification bar, and other framework-related pieces of the theme. Is that what you meant by "what needs to be added"? If so, I love you.

I am happy to present the Hero X, which is a port of the Evo Nonsense Rom (Droid-X theme) for CM6, with a few modifications.
I have also included a download for the Wallpapers. As always I'm not responsible for anything as you flash at your own risk. If your phone becomes self aware and starts looking for energon then please don't blame me.
I want to give thanks to everybody from the Cyanogenmod crew for their awesome Rom. Big thanks to tjohnsonjr for the Evo Nonsense Rom. Thanks to Magnus Ragnarok for all his help and some of his style.
Downloads:
1) [Rom] Hero-X 1.0.5-
(Disabled Rom link due to known issues. Rom is said to have wifi and facebook sync broken and some complained about busy box errors, switched to theme instead for stabilty).
Be careful that you set your google apps not to update automatically or you might overwrite your current themed apps!
2) [Theme] Hero-X Theme V2 (Added themed Mms.apk and new facebook.apk)-Flash over CM6 stable.
3) [Theme] Hero-X 2.2.1 Nightly Theme-This is based on the newest nightly 2010-10-19
4) [XML] Hero X-xml (For theme colors I use)
Edit: No need to flash gapps. gapps are installed.
5) Hero X data/apps that were in the Rom
adb wireless
always flash
Blink
Astro
Verizon Nfl app
As of now, the number being used is no longer valid. Download the version of the NFL-Unlocker that pertains to your computer below and unzip, and read the directions to change the number associated with the NFL app. You must get a valid Verizon number to use this whether it be from a display phone at a Verizon store:
NFL-Unlocker-x64
NFL-Unlocker-x86
animated weather
custom Tikl ptt
Road sms
divx player
set install location
themed Linkpush
and a few others
* Droid X boot animation is fully functional (sorry, no sound). If anyone knows how to get boot animation audio to work, let me know.
*Added pull down status bar from "Nonsense
*Added Font from the Finisher Rom.
6) Default Droid X wallpaper
7) Collection of Droid wallpapers.
8) Other Droid X LWP-lwp's do work on Cm6, but a select few, don't know if these do or not.
9) *Red themed Mms (Messaging app-icon is red.)
Edit: No need to wipe, but please do a nandroid backup before anything.
Two other cool wallpapers: Post 111
10) Video of the Hero X in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9udUkb94t_A
Nice work, Id be happy to test.

Need Testers! I'm working on a port of the Nonsense Rom (Droid-X theme), but I don't have a sprint Hero. My wife has a Hero, but I have to work on hers when i can pry it from her ear. i'm uploading four versions to try and then hopefully you can tell me what's missing, what works and what does'nt or if anything does.
Two of the versions have the boot animation in the rom and two do not and you will have to do a adb push. thisis ported to the Cm6 stable for the sprint Hero, so you will have to push it to system/media. i have also included a download for the Wallpapers and the flashable Droid X keyboards. As always I'm not responsible for anything as you flash at your own risk. If your phone becomes self aware and starts looking for energon then please don't blame me.
Uploading links now, but my internet is slow.
V1-Hero-X w/o boot animation
V2-Hero-X with boot animation
V3-Hero-X w/o boot animation
V4-Hero-X with boot animation
The reason for the 4 versions is that I tried a few different things on each one.
New Gapps
Droid X bootanimation (Unzip and push through Adb)
Default Droid X wallpaper
Other Droid X LWP-lwp's do work on Cm6, but a select few, don't know if these do or not.
Droid 2 keyboard-should work for this since this keyboard is for froyo. i've only tested it on my Evo.
I would suggest wiping no matter what, but you should be able to get away without wiping if already on Cm6, otherwise wipe. and please do a Nandroid back up before hand, so if anything does go wrong you can restore. Once I can get back to working on hers, i will post screen shots.

i will try to test some, im having some serious issues with CM6, i prefer the NFX rom, but it keeps crashing constently. so i need something new.

Not really any advantages, but someone asked me to do this for their hero for the look mostly. nothing like what you do. I see your stuff, especially the Black and gold. it's basically a theme a ported and made a Rom, but I used Cm6, because i didn't want to mess with the sense and it was the only 2.2 Rom without sense that I've seen. I didn't want to give a 2.1 Rom, but My internet just cutout while I was at 67%, so I have to re upload again. Versions will go up one after another.

I am going to do what i did on Magnus Ragnarok's finisher rom. I ported his 2.1 to 2.2 because everyone kept asking and I didn't know he was working on a new one, but like I said it's hard for me to work on my wife's hero when she's at work or I'm at work and she won't let me hold on to it, so to anyone who wants to test, just download when the links are up and tell me what I need to do.

This is only stock cm6, so whatever the battery life is then that's it. I have Snap turbo on my Evo, but i hadn't thought of adding a kernel. I'm sure whatever is compatible with Cm6 will work. I didn't change anything except the theme, I hope but hdpi to mdpi is difficult.

Porting the rom would be ridiculous, especially considering some of it is broken and would be too much work making it functional for the incredible. If it is just the theme you want, that's easy to pull, but I'm downloading it right now to take a look at it.
That is correct. I would like that theme. but I would like to see it cooked into a rom you know. Please let me kow once you have looked at it. Cheers...

Whether it is just ported over as a theme to be flashed/metamorphed or its "cooked" into a rom, it is the same. a flashable theme is much more convenient, since you are only replacing files in your current system, as opposed to wiping and starting over just to gain different aesthetics in the same exact rom, and having to go through the annoying process of setting back up again for basically nothing. Right now, I am about to try it on SR 3.3.3 and see how it goes, then in Desire Z rom. If all goes well, I'll post it in the themes section and let you know, otherwise I will post failure here and let you know if it isn't working lol.
Well for the most part, in SR 3.3.3 it seemed to work. Everything functioned and almost all of the theme elements were there. But it was definitely incomplete. For one, most incredible roms incorporate smooth sense icons. The theme does not have this since it is from the desire, so that creates an issue because only 5 of the 100 battery icons were themed lol. same with the sync icon. For some reason the signal bars did not change even though I ported the com.htc.resources also. I think a couple system apps did not theme (People app for sure, not sure what others) and the dockbar was espresso style but did not have the themes color. I'm sure there were other missing elements but as it stands, this will become too much work for me to correct, especially since more people will want it on different roms, which means porting and troubleshooting those as well.
Thanks for your attempt. If I may ask one request can you please post the Expresso bar and lockscreen with the black clock in an update.zip form. Those are the 3 elements that i would really like to have. I appreciate it once again.
Cheers,
Shokouhi
