Is it possible to get the. desire browser ported to the nexus one. Primarily I like the copy text feature and also the flash would be nice....
Why not just use the Desire roms?
The problem with porting the browser is that it relies heavily on the framework. It's undoubtedly possible if you're willing to hack enough together, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

This question has been asked probably a dozen times and the answer still remains NO. The browser requires HTC's proprietary rosie framework which cannot be ported. If you want the desire browser try Modaco or KingClick Desire ROMs.
I just wonder, why were/are here soooo many desire app requests ??? since
- one can use desire rom, or
- buy a htc desire
Well simply I don't like the sense UI... or how it looks I just like the browser the camera and the clock....

The same here. And there are more stable and effective ROMs (Cyanogen f.e.), and I need bluetooth working, because I use BT headset day by day.
If it becomes more stable, and fully working, I will use it.

I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum. This is a good way to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the HTC EVO Shift 4G. This includes, but is not limited to, people that are providing the following:
- Roms & Kitchens
- Programs & Apps
- Fixes & Tweaks
- Skins & Themes
- Tips & Tricks
I would like to request the help from other members to keep the thread in order and in check. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question a billion times...
Please refer to the Wiki first before asking any questions though! It can be located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to disable Sense on the Evo Shift.
I've seen it done on the original Evo, but I heard that HTC phones with Froyo cannot use the default android launcher anymore.
is this true?

AOSP roms (which will come when there is permanent root) do indeed liberate the phone from sense
It will not get rid of sense at all, but you can install ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro to have a different/more customizeable home screen expirenece.
When using those you will not be able to use sense widgets either though.
I just bought my EVO Shift 4g. How do I figure out if I have done any updates that might have cost me not to be able to root? Also, what happens if i do Root my EVO Shift 4g? Is it similar to to the iOS Jailbreak?

Here's some good info on rooting. It's a linux term, and in a way is similar to "jailbreaking," but they're not exactly the same. If you want to root when permanent root becomes available for the Evo Shift, I'd play it safe and not update at all.
Does anyone know who is working on getting us permanent root for our phones?

Maybe good news for people with HTC Wildfire. We're looking at it. (Also maybe good news for people with EVO Shift 4G sooner or later.)
Maybe good new? Not very definitive or explained, but they are working on it.

impaler, I just looked at your battery mod, lol, I know "just". It looks pretty cool, I know you have plans to test it on the Shift, but what icons will there be available for stock rom use? I like the plain battery icon but with the numbers in it like in Cyanogen 6, is that in there?

In spare parts there is an option to set the task manager to normal or aggressive. I never noticed this in my other phone. Is it along the same line as autokiller?

It should be different. Autokiller is a min free manager, which is much different from task killers. At this point in the progress of android, a task killer will not do much, except drain the battery.
does anyone know how to install the sense 3.0 rom from the htc sensation and evo 3d on to the mytouch 4g slide? yes my phone is rooted with s-off
Learn to code and port the rom yourself, or wait for somebody else to do it for you.
It's tricky because the Sensation has a higher resolution for a different screen size than our phones, so a direct port wouldn't work very well. What we NEED is a port of THIS!
I need arabic rom for mytouch 4g slide please

I know one dev has expressed an interest in this, but it's not the top thing on his project list and I wouldn't presume to speak for someone else in that context - so the idea is at least being tossed around on some level.
That being said:

7 months ago I knew nothing about coding for Android - I was strictly a user, and barely knew anything about how Android actually worked.
We always welcome new developers of any talent or skill level here, and are happy to help people who take the initiative in learning how to do this stuff.
You should try your hand at it, it's not as hard to get involved as you think. You have a goal - a port of a ROM from one device to another, so learn what it takes to get there.
Start small, learn how to mod one thing on your device successfully, and keep learning in small steps one thing at a time - it's a whole lot of fun and you'll get a lot out of it.
XDA exists not for the end product, but how to get there. The journey is much more prized then the end result.

Hi,
In the time you've been waiting for an answer,you could have made a nandroid backup,visited THIS FORUM,and picked,say,the most popular ROM.
You could then install it and see for yourself what it is like.
Each ROM thread has a brief description of what it is like,and the whole process would take 20 minutes.
If you don't like that one,choose another.
Why wait for someone else's OPINION,when you can make an informed decision for yourself.
Just saying.

The rom I recommend is the Android Revolution HD, specially version 4.1.x is great and has the latest version of HTC sense, try it..
Pyramid 3D is the best for me so far. Maybe LeeDroid when it gets updated with custom kernel.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
DIGITALIZED is very smooth and has no faults and has the sense version 2.3.5 and 3.5 sense

The best ROM by far is CM7. Don't listen to these noobs.
I would say Android Revolution HD, but you should try different roms with different kernels to find one that suits your need.
I think there are 2 separations, Sense or non-sense, decide which side then try some roms =]
Are any of the ROMS fully customizable? I want to be able to turn off the foolish ring lock and remove all the themes wallpaper and live backgrounds from this phone. plus i would like to remove all the pre installed apps. I only want phone and messaging and vpn on my phone . i also want to brows the files on my pc and access them with some sort of file manager. i would like to change the hard set buttons on the main sreen to diffrent ones that i use . i would like to lock the screen from carouseling to just a single screen that dosent move. is there such a rom?

You mean the most unfinished ROM? Or the most likely not to be finished ROM?

and to the guy who posted that -
Android is by far the most customizable OS out there.
Wait for a weekend or some other free time, read for about an hour and do it yourself. You can add or remove anything you want anywhere if you know how. If you cant be bothered reading or cant understand the explanations on how-to do whatever youre trying to accomplish, dont root your phone. Until then you're better off selling your phone, buying a nokia, reading up on android from basics and buying another android phone when youre done being helpless.
You claim youre a 40 year old biker. Unless you've been biking for a living, you'd have some basic computer skills. Thats all you need.

maybe someone can take the launcher and putt it over sense or something but i don't know though, I'm no dev...
Porting from a different device takes a lot of time - and since it is older version than current available - nobody will waste the time on it. Porting the launcher is possible, tho.
Just stating
I think we should try to port over the motoblur
