As far as I know, Android is one open source platform.
Now, doesn't that mean that HTC must share it's drivers for different phones?

The Android platform is open source, but the drivers for the HTC hardware are not open source. HTC (Qualcomm as well) has no obligation to release the drivers. We have to wait until they are included in a 2.1 HTC built ROM for the specific device.

Don't understed the reason from HTC. They have nothing to loose if they release drivers for their devices. That will push their sales a lot. But HTC is slow and weird when it comes to software updates and stuff.
does it matter if they give them up?? head over to dream development xda developer NCommander has made a camera driver and released the source.. and eugene373 has already updated his eclair rom!!!

Now we just need to wait for a port from Eugenes rom to our 32A devices..

Porting 32A: http://www.mediafire.com/?d4mtvmujemz
downloading now to run on my 32a
is there a thread on that 32a port? i have no intentions of doing anything beyond wiping, flashingx2 and re-booting (no formatting or swap partitions etc) - keen to read some other experiences so i can get it working...
Awesome! I'm with march83 though - is there a thread on this? I'd like some more info before I flash anything to my phone ..
Thanks for sharing
ok, wipe, flash, flash, boot didn't work on my 32a with no partitions. don't have the time or resources to back up my sd card and test it with proper partitions til tonight.
also, i can't find md5s for the downloads anywhere so i can't confirm that i've got valid files. no matter - no harm done, nandroid and my Gyd is back up and running.
can someone who's successfully got this working on a 32a post some details?
cheers
Installed it and it's working I have ext3/linux-swap, get that and you'll be fine ! I never ever flashed any SPL or radio so don't bother.
BTW, that rom is Eclair, not Expresso。
I can't live without HTC's Dialer with smart dial, so I'll have to wait for a stable Expresso port.

I have no partition on SD and you can read about my 32A in my signature (never change radio/SPL)

This is a very straightforward port of Cyanogen's awesome 3.9.6 ROM to run on the HTC Sapphire / Magic (tested on the Vodafone Magic).
Apply as any other update.zip (via modified recovery image).
It's FAST!

Paul,
What did you change to get Compcache working? I'm already running 3.9.5 on my 32B and don't really want to reflash just for the sake of being able to push a couple of modified files
Cheers
So this is with cyno 3.9.5 kernel right?
i think i can read better than you
What's the difference between this port and the jerpelea (or something) port?
isnt this the same as jerpleas port?
Same as Jerpelas and all the other 'ports' that use the trick I found of renaming init.trout.rc in boot.img to init.sapphire.rc.
I've asked a couple of the devs to include this file by default to avoid the plethora of threads here that are just dream roms which pretty much anyone can get running in a couple of minutes.
At the moment the 'real' development work is mainly in the dream forum, lucky for 32b owners they run perfectly 32A, wait for the ports
Waiting for the Drizzy/JAC new hero port tonight - it's meant to be damn fast,and they think they can get it to 'cupcake' speeds
re: posts above...
Correct, it's using Cyanogen's kernel (hence compcache functions correctly).
Correct, it's for 32B.
Correct, it's using a tweaked boot.img with a renamed RC.
I think it's a valid post because not everyone has the ability / time / inclination to download the ROM, extract the boot.img, rename the file, rebuild the boot.img and then resign the resulting zip.
As always, I created this for my own use and thought i'd share!
I also have asked Cyanogen (via Twitter) to include a sapphire.rc in future revisions. Here's hoping!

Thanks Modaco,
all the apps and the cache, to ext3 partition. Good rom. Wifi runs ok , it goes so fast. For me, the most important advantage, the apps and the cache, to sd!.
Thanks guy
compcache is working, wifi wont start.
I'm pretty sure that jerpelea had to get a different wlan.ko for it to work on his.
This just keeps looping on the Android splash screen. Is it because I am using Amon_Ra's 1.2 recovery???
I am using 1.2 and had no troubles.
Just WiFi wont start.
I have tried replacing it with the wlan.ko from jerpelea's rom.
It doesnt like it.

I dont get it! I had similar problems with newer Cyanogen build than what I am on. Also the QTek rom does the same.
It seems to me that any ported ROMs which all you supposedly need to do is run 'update.zip' fail with a boot loop for me.
I don't know why it's only with ported ROMs though..... It's driving me mad!!!
Yes, you read that title correctly. We are wasting time, energy, and file size making these ports when all the builds could be "co-ed"
I have already done this in my builds, but not everyone wants to use mine (I know, I was sad, too) so I will look into if the script being used can be rewritten to use my new standard. Until such time, Here is an update add-on that will convert all the newest Hero ROMs into co-ed versions. This is also dependednt on the concept that all current ROMs are using JACs kernel.

I am sorry, but pls don't shout at me for being dumb.... but should i flash this first then flash the Hero rom... tks.
So I have a 32a magic. So I can load any 32b rom out there and then apply your patch?? as long as its using the jac kernel?? Just wanting to make sure before I try it out. It just seems all to easy. haha

When Twist said its CO-ED it means that it can be used on a G1 and a MyTouch
NOT co-ed as in 32A and 32B
Im almost 100% sure this is ONLY for a 32B

This would be correct. Co-ed meaning both t-mobile branded devices. 32A requires a different kernel, but im sure those users knew that. So one boot image could not be "dual kernel" and i dont have the time to make that many changes to the existing one to make it go either way
Okay so basically, i install the hero rom first and then this mod? because i just tried this with micro hero v1.4 and it got stuck at the vodafone screen(used logcat and there was error), but then when i installed micro hero on its own it boots.????
great work on this Twisted. You're a genius.
what is the difference of to have or not to have this MOD?
I dón´t taste any difference.
Do I flash this before flashing a ROM? Also, I'm guessing I still have to wipe before flashing the ROM, correct?

Well Certaily this is something only a developer could answer.
Hello anyone...
Me Likey Bluetooth...
To my knowledge, we were waiting on the sense ui from magic, not hero. If we get the sense ui from magic then it can be ported to dream with working bluetooth.
Yes... it's a link to the HTC Developer website... not that most developers don't know when things like Kernals going up happen...
Se can anyone actually explain what does this mean for us simple and humble peasants ... pardon users...

Bug Fixing, customizations, and security mainly. Also brings forth the possibility to get around security locks on apps and such(htc widgets) not this in particular but a source code in general.
When SenseUI Sapphire comes out it will most likely have a new kernel.
We need to request it!
This has been out for about a month and won't really help us much. The HTC kernel source tree was always available via git so HTC providing a link on their website doesn't change much.

No. Hero flash is a plunging for the browser which, correct me if I'm wrong, relies on the HTC framework. I believe there are other libraries and quagmire that only hero have making it necessary to have a hero Rom. Just be patient. By early to mid 2010 we will have our Android flash beta. That's completely off topic but the answer nonetheless.

one thing i noticed different is that when I try to use wireless tethering with blue tooth, this port works while the other reboots the phone.
also minor differences such as bootscreen logo
this is a brilliant rom with no issues for me so far. thanks for the effort.
Have tried to use the Magic Port (tool used by youssef to port this ROM) myself and tested Super D for 3 days and found no issues. The resulting port is really like made for this ROM. Simply great! Sometimes I can't understand why people's asking for donation for a port that can be easily made by a great tool like Magic Port.
thanks!! ive been waiting for this. i didnt want to try the other super d port as it seemed so many people were having issue.
seems to run fast and i havent had any issues yet!

initially I was using this tool to port 1.7 from Dream's as well.
however the difference is that (I think) this tool will use a older cyanogen kernel, so it's without multi-touch for gallery and browser.
I've actually port super D 1.8 with brook's latest cyanogen kernel 4.2.14.1 (yes, with multi-touch )

The chances of 2.1 on Fender are excellent given that T-Mobile announced it would be pushing 2.1 to the Fender and MT3G 1.2 models this spring. As far as a customized ROM, I seriously doubt there will be anything until the phones receive the official update.

Yea it actually ran, just said "Press the Android to Start"... well couldn't press it The 32A patch was from the G1 forum on here as opposed to the slightly newer one for magic on this sub-forum.
Also the Radio looked like it was connecting to. For all I know touchscreen, bt, and headphone jack could have been unsupported, but surprising to see it actually booted.

you can wait all you want. there is a whole new touch screen with new drivers tied to the kernel. we have yet to figure out how to get them into any other rom.
We are trying. Belive me, once we get somethign working, Wes, Criffmon and myself will let all of you know.
For now, find criffmons posts in the android themes section and use one of our themed fender roms. that is all you will gett o work. I have tested everything for a month now, even flashing the fender kernel over roms does nothing because files have been changed.
Please be patient
I think we're stuck with themes and whatnot as opposed to custom ROMs until HTC releases the kernel source. Bug @htc on Twitter for the source!
