What's involved in porting a GSM Hero rom to CDMA Hero?

Title pretty much explains it. There are (not many) but more Hero roms on the GSM side of things than the Hero. But obviously, MoDaCo took his rom and switched it over to CDMA for us. So if anyone could help that would be great.
I also have been trying to port Malign's Hero rom for the Dream over to Hero but I'm getting stuck on boot. Loads up but Rosie doesnt seem to want to load. I am trying to do this so I can learn how to port over the good roms since it doesnt seem like many devs are interested in CDMA Hero, which is understandable considering it's price and carrier.

Are you saying you know a bit of how to do this or you just want to learn as well?

I don't know the ins and outs of the apks in that ROM, but I do know step 1 - a kernel recompile.
Thankfully, HTC released their kernel changes shortly after the CMDA Hero arrived, which you can download here:
http://developer.htc.com/
You'll need the android SDK and sources for whichever version you want to build - 1.5 should be fully compatible with this kernel, not sure about 1.6, but probably not 2.0.
Unforunately HTC probably won't release their changes for 2.0 until after they dunk Eclair onto the Hero. 2.0 support may work out of the box, may require just a few quick changes, or may be broken entirely, who knows!
[edit] Thinking on this further, a kernel rebuild might not be necessary, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. You may just be able to replace the kernel/boot image in the ROM with the kernel on your Hero (or yanked out of MoDaCo's ROM). No way to know execept to do a thang.

I would love to learn as well. can put android hacking, and rom making on my hacking/modding resume

$50 US for working video record/play & opengl Eclair-Hero

Eclair is nice..mad props to KingxKxlick and Cannon202 but I want my camcorder back, opengl and all that hero goodness. Whoever gets me a working Eclair-Hero rom for my G1 with all the features listed will get $50 US sent via Paypal

Word. We should start a dev prize pool with a chip-in account... winner take all. Didn't someone do that with navigation?
This thread is probably gonna be deleted, but good try.

Didn't somebody make a thread exactly like this earlier....and it got deleted, like this one will.
Listen up you ignorant people.
MOD EDIT: This is uncalled for, you can make your points without insults. Please take care (respect others) when posting. I would edit this out but many members have quoted it in future posts, so not much point.
THERE IS CATEGORICALLY NO WAY TO RECORD, OR PLAY BACK VIDEO ON AN ECLAIR ROM WITHOUT THE DRIVERS.
AND NOBODY EVEN KNOWS IF THOSE DRIVERS EXIST.
SO PLEASE, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU OFFER TO DEVELOPERS, UNLESS SOMEBODY FINDS THE DRIVERS REQUIRED, WE WILL NEVER HAVE VIDEO ON AN ECLAIR ROM.
King's 2.0 ROM does NOT count as having working video.

I think it's worth a bit more than that.

I'd like working bluetooth so that I can try a Hero rom but if it were possible it would have happened already. Same as if video without drivers were possible. People dont seem to understand that the devs here dont create the OS for our phones they edit open source code that google has released. If google doesnt release the code that is needed for something then the devs here have nothing to work with. Think of it has you bought a piece of hardward to use with you PC but when you plug it in you PC doesnt reconize it. That is because you dont have the correct driver for it and untill you can obtain that driver it will never work.

not for nothing thats a little harsh. you calling others ignorant makes you just as ignorant, if not more. also, from what i understand, google did drop the 2.1 aosp code, i dont know about all of it, but its def there. and the drivers do exist 100%. a very close friend of mine (who works for google by the way) was privy to them. i have a fully working, and when i say fully working i mean fully working eclair rom on my POS G1. i can take pics, record, watch you tube vids the whole 9 yards. if i knew how to make a rom and **** id put one out there for you guys, but i dont and at the same time neither i nor my contact are trying to get sued by google or htc. im not sure if the **** is proprietary or not, but im not running any risks and neither is she. maybe someone with a fancy new nexus can reverse engineer the camcorder, like NCommander did with the camera (mad props by the way!!!), but until then looks like only the very few who have the necessary bits and pieces will be able to enjoy 2.1 (which honestly aint that great. i much prefer cyans 1.6). ive had a complete 2.1 rom on my phone since tuesday and so far so good. no problems at all running nice and smooth. its out there guys, you just gotta be patient or get a nexus

Ncommander might be able to, he seems to be a decent coder.
Haykuro *definitely* won't. He isn't a coder, he's just a hack -- responsible for more bricks than anyone else and at the same time, responsible for fracturing the community romcookers into the "stockSPL" and "deathSPL" groups -- which is a VERY VERY VERY bad thing.

Auctions?
So I'm browsing right.....
scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, and I believe it is twice i ran across a topic like this with either $ or Paypal in the title for the exchange of a fix to a phone and/or rom....hmmm, is it me or has the developer forums overnightly became an Ebay/Craigslist type of categorylol

I know Haykuro is responsible for bricks its a fact that the deathSPL can cause a brick but when used correctly it is a very useful tool that allows ROM makers to create larger and better ROMs. I think most devs that create ROMs that do not require the death spl only do so because the majority of people dont want to flash the death spl there for more people will use there rom if it does not require it.

i suggest a new section on the forums be opened for paying developers to do specific tasks and services... it can be named "developers in demand"

Post YouTube Video or it isn't true

I have tried searching and just can't find it!

Yes I am very new to android. I managed to root mythouch 3g 1.2 to the fender rooted rom. I am just confused completely on the 2.1 roms. What is porting? I did the unlocker method with no problem. I had an epic fail trying to install a 2.1 rom! Mainly cuz I can't figure out what the heck all this porting and partitioning is. Any help would be appreciated so much!!

All that you can read here on these sits.

It must be the 32b that has messed me up. For some reason I thought the 3.5mm jack was on the 32a. That would be a good reason for that rom not working. Man I'm getting bad at this kinda stuff.

NOOOO.. the 1.2/fender are ALL 32a boards. There are NO 2.1 roms for our phones yet because the drivers/kernel source have not been released. So for now, just use some of our themed roms. They work great and look great.
Again, NO 2.1 roms will work.

I had one pull up but touch screen was not working. I'm begging to think they just threw this phone together. I see some say there r roms but they have no bt and youtube. Or am I just that lost? I can live without bt and video.

Ok...
HTC has not released the source for the new touch screen drivers or 3.5 jack. So, if you would have read ont he instructions you used to root the phone, there are no special roms for our phones yet. Thrown together? It has a brand new touch screen and a new headphone jack that was not in the older version = no way to use them yet.
So, in these instructions you rushed through, you would have read that the only roms we have are the fender rom and the themed roms.
We have one 2.1 rom working from STokes. But you have to search it down in these forums under the Mytouch 1.2/fender threads.
Not trying to be an ass here, but its obvious you did not read fully before rooting your phone.

Thanks for the help! I was misunderstanding my phone config. I thought I had the 32a. That's why I was lost! Sorry! Although I did read it....and flashed it too! That's why my phone went stupid on me! Boy did I miss a big one there! Well I do appreciate the help all the same! That cleared all my confusion up.

Ok my phone says its a 32a ships s-on G. So how is that correct and work?

.. what are you asking? You showed us what board your phone is using, sooooo what? I need better english to understand you. I have no idea what "how is that correct and work" means. I hope you're not giving us your phones information so we can hold your hand and take you through step by step.
I also don't understand how you can't find information about all this porting and partitioning. I'm a normal member like you, how was I able to find all this information on these forums and google but you can't?
Can you do me a favour and start researching yourself rather than asking a bunch of questions that are already answered. You've already posted in the wrong section, and you obviously haven't tried hard enough. You didn't know if you had a 32A or 32B at first, which is the most basic thing of all. This is why people like you brick their phones. You totally just guessed which board you have.
Then you complain about the touch screen issues when it's all explained in the process of how to root it, wow. Get ready for flames if you continue to fail like this. Please read things more thoroughly and post in the right section.

What I guess I am trying to ask is the G or H relevent in any way? I understand the boards. I have been told It was a 32b then when I rooted it I rooted the wrong file. Which would have bricked it. That is why I am asking all the questions. It works fine with the fender root. It just doesn't seem to work loading any 2.1 rom at all. And yes I have tried 32a and 32b. The 32b 2.1 loads without the touch screen working. 32a 2.1 doesn't do a thing, just freezes. Does that help explain it a little better for you?

Yours says G... which makes no sense considering its a 32a HTC branded phone (maybe the 1.2's are different? because the fender is an HTC branded board.
We here, just get tired of people that say they have searched... yet its blatently obvious it doesnt.
Now that stokes has given you the 2.1 rom..... Now we have to hear you ask 15 times now why the Bluetooth and Wifi wont work.....

Stokes 2.1 loaded for me and it is 32b. Just the touch screen didn't work. I would say if it wasn't for my phone it shouldn't have had the droid saying touch to start. None of the others did that at all. Here is where I got it from.

Tomorrow when im not drunk Ill search a link down or get stokes to give me direct link. Im running it right now andf other then BT and youtube not working, it is so purdy with the live wallpapers. with the extra 32a ram, it runs just as well as the nexus one. If you have talked to stokes, ask him for his 1.41 Fender/LE port. Full wipe, Skip google sign in and sign in through market for sync. After that you will be very happy .

[ROM] gbhil mem optimized 2.1 leak

I cannot believe I've never even so much as heard of this anyhwere on XDA before until a few days ago in the "explanation of keyboard lag" thread. I forget who it was that posted it, but I came across this link
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9522-sprint-2-1-leak.html
Gbhil's roms have always been so stable and fast for me. I was under the impression he was done with rom's. Apparently he at least has been optimizing the leak though. Check out the link, all of the mod's that I used for fresh seemed to work (vanilla lock, xda keyboard, etc...) Very stable Rom, nothing out of the ordinary. Slightly faster alternative to Fresh 2.0d/Damaged IMO, although I could be biased. Only one way to find out though.

Its obvious it hasnt been posted since a lot of the xda folks dont visit Android Central. Ive been running his optimized rom since he released it on the 10th of April.

Do you have any keyboard lag with his ROM?

a little bit. Seems to be better than a lot of ROMs though. I'll throw a party the day that goes away for good.

well dude throw that party flash zenexp and b amazed no kb lag what so ever

A lot of the ROM's without Sense don't have keyboard lag...

well I meant more that when the lag goes away with the HTC keyboard/and sense. Is there really any real advantage to the HTC over the stock android keyboard? That zenulator rom looks pretty nice though. Too bad I can't download anything at work, hate it.

i didnt even know there was another forum that hacked phones, i ASSUMED this was the only one lol, well only one that i actually cared about, what happend to gbhil, i thought he was a part of xda, he moved to that forum android central?

that is the truth Zen's port is awesome........ but lemme see what this one is about

alot of dev's post on both of these sites. Gbhil quit putting out ROM's after someone took his rom, tossed some paid apps in it, rereleased it, or something to that effect anyways. I guess one of the app developers came at him with the blame. Pretty unfortunate because his ROM's were/still are awesome.

I was the one who mentioned this Rom in the keyboard lag thread. But I heard about it when vince mentioned running it. The only issue I have had is superuser whitelist. It simply won't download and install. To be honest, I've never had to download it before, so it may be a problem with the download, not the Rom. Imma pull the apk from another Rom this after and try pushing it through adb.

Please reply and tell us (me) if that works. I'm having the same issue.

Did yall know that dc 2.07.2 and alot of the roms come with the gbhil's memory killer. Its also easy to change the settings to be more aggressive and or less. Also you can download AutoKiller from the market and set the memory setting to anything you want.
Nothing against gbhil but his rom is literally the most basic sprint rom you can get, it will not have an increase in speed compared to dc 2.07.2 or fresh 2.0d.
Both of those roms have all the sprint stuff so it appears to be stock but its optimized to run smoother. They also include superusers and everything else needed.

Pushing superuser works perfectly.

what do you mean i posted up the rom???

I have been looking at the fascinate forum and noticed they have a new Miui rom that has more functions closer to a fully functional rom than they ever have. I was hoping someone could port this to the mesmerize

Trust me, I've had my eye on Andmer's twitter since Friday when he started it. I've got a thing or two I need to do tonight, but hopefully I can get this ported tonight.
EDIT: There *will* be stuff broken with it; anything that's broken with the Fascinate ROM will be broken with any Mesmerize port. They're still working on it (Andmer and JT1134), so it's still listed as an alpha, but enough people clearly want it.

As I understand it, very little. Edit some framework stuff and the build.prop to identify as a US Cellular/Mesmerize device rather than Verizon/Fascinate. That's largely cosmetic. Remove the SMS padding the Verizon does, and that's more or less it.
As I say, I should be able to get it tonight.

"Porting ROMs" and "Porting ROMs from the Fascinate" are two different animals. Porting from the Fascinate is pretty easy once you have the steps (at least as I understand it), but everything gets ported over pretty quickly so no one really bothers to post the steps for it.
Porting ROMs from other phones, on the other hand, is a much more complicated process, often involving editing the source code before compiling it into the ROM. There really isn't a straight-forward step-by-step process to follow.
That's really why no one's posted the instructions.
I could I suppose, but I've only poked at it once or twice. I generally know how to do it, but I suspect I'll still be having one of the experts check my work. Still, one more thing off their plates, and MIUI that much sooner for us.

Looking forward to trying this as well

Sorry guys, didn't have a chance to get to this last night, I'm hoping I can tonight, but as always, we'll see. I've got a couple addons I personally wanna add to the ROM, but that will likely come later. Still, some teasers.

Awe come on i was looking towards getting Miui on my phone this morning! I hope you get it on here really really soon please

Wow. I really hope you were attempting to be funny because this comes off as incredibly ungrateful. The guy is attempting to do this for FREE and on his own free time. If he actually has a life that happens to take him away from being able to port this then good for him. If you're in a huge hurry to get it, then feel free to do some research and port it yourself. Otherwise sit back, relax, and be happy when it does get released.

I wasnt meaning to be mean at all. Just all excited to finally get a Miui rom on my phone if you know what i mean. I understand he has a life just as i do and i respect that.

Excitement is perfectly fine and expected. Asking for ETA's and requesting something "really really soon" just comes off as impatient and like you are owed something. Not attacking you, just something to keep in mind.

i would like to see this also id use it... wut avoit the patch?

LOL It's all good, Life has just been really busy lately----but trust me, I've wanted GB MIUI for about a month now. XD To be perfectly frank, I'm still a little bitter I got so little help with it, banged my head against it for a month, and Andmer comes in in a *weekend* and gets it going. XD But I'm not complaining, cuz, well, I get GB MIUI. XD It just tells me I need to learn JavaScript and C++ and start compiling from source.
Again, stuff *will* be broken (this won't be my normal daily ROM until GPS is fixed, I MUST have my GPS), but I know Andmer and JT1134 are working on it (since it benefits JT's latest CM7 build as well).

I have to agree about the GPS... This is good news though. CM7 and MIUI are "almost" there now. Been watching and waiting for months on the progress of those.
I have been patient and I think not long off now, we will all be playing with fully working MIUI and CM7 ROMS...
Keep at it guys, I am rooting for you... (groan... root)..

Just a quick update: I won't get this completed tonight, but I did get a chance to start it. I need to bug BDE for some pointers, and hopefully hear back from JT on a code question. Even so, because of the way it's flashed (and how one must switch ROMs if they decide they want to go back to a different one), it'll get tested on IRC first before it's posted on XDA.
I won't get a chance to work on it tomorrow night for sure, but I'm hoping sometime during the weekend at the latest. Patience comes to those who wait as they say.

I read their post as trying to be funny, not disrespectful.

Hey, with CM7 (the old non-MTD builds) Jt added some code to the rom so that all we'd have to do is remove one line from build.prop to fix the SMS padding issue (and copy in a few files from /lib/ and 1 from /bin/ on a working AOSP rom). I THINK he possibly did this for the new MTD build too, but I'm not sure, but if so we should be able to fix it up quick. If not, l3ttuc3 is the one who has manually removed the padding in the past, but i'm sure others could help out.
i accepted your gtalk invite last night so just hit me up

so what are these files that need to be transfered? i can transfer those files myself from one rom to another. And i can look up and see what line it is to remove the sms padding possibly. I also heard there was some things in the framework that had to be changed but idk why and idk how to mess with those yet :/
