Froyo for nexus developers thread - Desire Android Development

We need a dev, please please... !, port port...
Update : change title to show that there are some great dev working on a froyo rom for desire

*sigh*
It's a hoax.

They said: "Froyo will be made available to OEMs and the open source community in the coming weeks"
(my emphasis)
To me, this implies that the source code will be released to AOSP in the coming weeks. It says nothing about the schedule for OTA updates to handsets.

From their twitter.
Froyo on Nexus One soon! (next few weeks) #io2010 #android @cym0n @lukejduncan @scottyabrown @pgiuoco @luxorules @harisn @abronia

Where's this "next day" come from?
Froyo announced on the 19th and today is the 22nd.
It may well be hoax. Time will tell of course, if over the next few days Nexus One owners start reporting getting at OTA to Froyo.

Lets hope some dev takes on the challenge, what happened to the "developer checking in thread" ? They checked out again?

It looks like this is a genuine OTA update, many people have reported receiving a FroYo OTA update from Google.
Only a matter of time now before it's ported to the Desire!

lets hope people get on to the port right away!!

Excellent news !!

Do N1 ROMs work on the Desire? I know that some N1 owners were flashing Desire ROMs to get Flash support, although I've no idea whether those were modified?
To be honest, I think at this stage, I'd lose Sense for official Apps2SD and the Dalvik enhancements.

Devs, start cooking :

The thread over at Nexus One discussion have the link to the update now. I've downloaded it, just in case google take it down. Can any of our guys get to work with porting this by any chance??

Yeah me too, I would also be interested in any battery life improvements it may bring, I think sense may be a bit of a battery hog!

I happily give up Sense, it's only slowing down my workflow. Love the look of 2.2. vanilla.

cant i just flash with original update just to desire? isnt it exactly the same phone? .. rename the updatefile or something..

No, u cant, Nexus and desire dont even have the same hardware

its a shame i dint buy a nexus.. the desire is better looking tho.. i really need this update.. could almost kill for it .. how long you think itll take when a dev start working on it?

That's clearly not true if N1 owners were using Desire ROMs - obviously there are minor cosmetic differences, like the hard vs. soft keys and optical vs. physical trackball but those must have been worked around.
However, I suspect this is a jump that only works properly in one direction, due to the dodgy rooting process on the Desire where you have the ability to flash the 'wrong' ROM a lot more easily onto the N!.

[ROM] Senseless_EVO v.1.1 (not asop)

now rebased off rvu 1.3.1 so that means 4g should be a go
I removed all HTC widgets and most HTC/sprint apps except for the needed ones people messages music etc. Plus a few I happen to like
Big thanks to Keith and gbhil over at Android central for an amazing Rom to base this off of
Also gotta thank toast maejrep and co. For root
Wipe is most likely needed haven't tried to flash yet without
and yes you will keep root if you flash this if you used toasts method haven't confirmed unrevoked
Changelog:
1.1 now based on rvu 1.3.1 com.HTC.utility no longer fcs
1.0 based of rvu 1.0 all HTC widgets/apps removed except for messages etc....
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6316939/senseless-evo-v1.1.zip
http://www.4shared.com/file/kkuR1-0O/senseless-evo-v10.html
Looks great! I will load this later!
I highly recommend getting adw launcher it'd amazing
Does anyone know where com.HTC.rosieutility is located or what on here could still be causing it to fc on boot it doesn't affect the phone at all its just annoying seeing that every reboot
A couple of questions. Will you still be rooted if you flash this rom? Does it still have the market or 4G problems of other roms.

Yup you'll still be rooted with toasts method at least never touch the unrevoked root
I have no idea about 4g I would say probably not since I didn't change anything in that regard
I'll get back to u on the market
Aw, darn. I thought this was actually an AOSP ROM. This is basically already what I've done to my stock ROM.

Good job. Thanks for the speedy contribution towards our shiny new evo rom collection I remember liking sense and aosp so i like both and i always wanted sense to run right. That was everyones complaint with sense. Well thats not an issue anymore. I thought i would be all on it, like with my hero w/o thinking.....well as soon as i got my evo i forgot all that i learned about root and why to do it....JK but i am very satisfied with it and i will wait until i can access recovery and rw to system from device before i do. I spent the whole time i had my hero trying to make it into a device like this.....well now i have it Gimme a week and i think ill go to work.......

Until we have fully functional aosp/froyo/2.2 you wont have a rom that will even work without a bunch of sense remnants wasting space on your internal storage and increasing rom size.HTC is a shiny ui htc used to lure in all the apple morons(no offense i used to have an iphone before my hero). and since they made the devices, they're plaguing software/htc sense is an integral part of the ruu they put together. This is the reason everyone always wants a non-sense rom or VANILLA. We will not have full function vanilla until toast or someone else here compiles an0ther makeshift kernel, or lastly when htc releases the source so that we can compile a kernel with the right device drivers, to give us a full function rom. It would be to say the least, very very very hard to just compile the right drivers for the htc device hardware, thus all the aosp/froyo with certain features such as cam, or 4G missing.......hope this helps you und3rstand what you are looking for a little bit more clearly. In theory, YOU or I could create the source code for the kernel and drivers. Is that going to HAPPEN?????????????????? Probably not. Dont worry though, we have toast, so we happen to have a head start in the race.....

search my name in xda search youll find PLENTY of inter3sting things ive said. Do your own homework before instulting me or anyone else please.I meant neither of you any disrespect. I was explaining myself a little better and when i put up the 2nd post i saw this. This is an open forum right? well thats my opinion and some info. If you dl'd the rom you would see all the sense remnants yourself, resulting in less thread clutter,simultaneously answering your own question. I was trying to inform you in my second post. And please do not disrespect me by asking me to shut up. I do not disrespect anyone here on xda nor will i ever, and i expect the same treatment in return. I am here to help,learn,and contribute. Sorry you took offense. I guess i just dont ask others for answers that are readily available to myself. I would apologize but you offended me. please do not reply here again, as your response will be ignored by me. apologies to readers for momentary thread jack.......now, back to topic.....

I noticed what you did when i looked. Just wondering, were you unhappy with your evo when you got it? or did you just make a new rom to give everyone another choice of rom? or maybe even your personal, like i do sometimes? Just curious.....
@ops. I never spoke ill of your work, jic you took it that way, im not that guy. I appreciate any contributions to the community and have spent months of my own time staying up finishing up things ive been working to complete my self in order to ul and share with the community. Needless to say, I KNOW WHERE YOURE COMING FROM. When i can give us a new choice of rom or theme i too will begin work.....

We know that the software is in the making as there was an official leaked chinese ROM that we've had in development area for a few weeks now, but this was test-keys (meaning not ready for release - beta/alpha software), but no hype.....for an actual release.....does seem like a missed opportunity on their part!?

OMG !!!!!!!!!! WOW. I can picture this being made into the BEST sense ROM in the near future by LBC, proxuser or many others.
Odd thing is, HTC gave no official statement, anywhere. Also, this is not yet available in India. I would have thought they'd make a HUGE THING about this update.........
Someone in the German forum seemed to be having problems with the Power Options menu (that pops up on a long power button press) not appearing.
As I often need shut down my phone to preserve battery, this feature is important to me.
Could anyone kindly confirm whether Power Options menu is actually working or broken on this latest release?

[AOSP] Android 4.0 source code release.

Everything happens there.
OMG !!! ICS coming soon on our DS that's NIIIIIICEEEE
I hope the API switch is simple for our belovers developpers
Yes, with that all issues will be fixed soon.
great news. i hope i can use ICS on my DS soon.
Will DS be updated by HTC officially?
The official list only contail mobile with dual core.
We don't know yet, time will answer.
I'm pretty sad to break this to you, but the chances of an AOSP build are very low because of this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...he-heavy-artillery-this-is-what-it-will-take/
Barely anyone here can have this kind of stuff. The best chance we have is waiting for a build for Desire HD (It's the most likely HTC device to get one) and then superkid will port it.
Our Desire S will get the update prior to Desire HD.
Check out this link... Source
cheer!!!
I don't mean an official update from HTC, i mean a custom ROM built from source by XDA devs. That, DHD is sure to recieve first, the devs there are too many.
okay, but i guess Cyanogenmod will build it from the source

Sorry but why do you think so? This is not sooo extra ordinary... If you don't have such hardware you could also put the build to the cloud. Also these are recommendations! You can also build on lower resources it just takes longer

that's the ICS port's name that cannot be spoken about here
it's like Sauron's ROM or something
I wont post a link to the page, but looking at Kmobs Google+, he posted a few pictures comparing his Sensation and Galaxy Nexus.
-In one picture he shows the 'about phone' screen on both phones. On Sensation, it looks like there is a color gradient, however its hard to tell. So MAYBE they have hardware acceleration working.
-Also if you read the 'mod version' it says CyanogenMod-9.0.0-RC0-Sensation-KANG. I'm a noob and Im not sure if the mod version will tell anything, but it says RC0 so maybe its Release Candidate status?
-One last thing I noticed is he has the same widget running when he compares homescreen, so he is kind or mirroring the two, but the Galaxy Nexus has the camera shortcut on the homescreen and Sensation does not. Not sure if that means its not working on Sensation, or if he just didnt put it there
Mods: if I posted anything I shouldnt have, please feel free to delete the post and contact me. Im familiar to the rules for the most part.

lol. should compare date released and prices for devices. the longer the date the device was released and the cheaper price it is, it should have many devs and support for it. as our devices is quite new (not that new lol) but its like a decisive thing for devs really, if they want to get the sensation and create ports there or just go to the newest device there is on the market. but needless to say, we have plenty of devs here. its just a matter of enjoying whats there and being patient. so, stay on and relax

It seems like developement for the Sensation is slowly dying.Looks like all the good devs have jumped ship to newer phones It's kinda depressing since the phone is only 6 months old.I wish i could afford to buy a new phone every 6 months.

Sadly, but true....
We have a good collection of roms though, and we will be getting ICS regardless from HTC. I don't mind if devs jump ship.
Yeah, TripNiCE ROM is now Alpha 7.5, quite perfect and very stable.

I think it is, many italian blogs have spoken about it
I am pretty happy to read this. Though I am quite sure this is not reliable, but if it is, then good for HTC. They're finally doing what they should have done, with unlockable bootloaders and updates. That profit drop was an eye opener for them.
I am even more excited about the other part, the Sensation family getting updated in February. This seems true, and it means that Sensation XL will be updated in less than a month and we'll have a port by march It'll help till the official update (if there is any)
PS - Congrats, you have created the future most popular thread in this section. This'll have so many pages by April, that you'll go crazy reading them
sweet lets hope this turns out to be true!
omg i'm so happy about this we are going to get the official ics update wow wow wow the desire s is the best phone ever i'm so happy thx
in April for Saga from htc..maybe that time i've already my Saga with CM9/VQ/MUI rom in full release n full tweaked to.....who knows??
but anyway..truly i'm very happy hear this now..
The time where my phone was totally stock i was happy to hear such news... but know im glad that i have my ics custom rom, which till april will be better than the orig rom from htc.

How about the RCMix blog?

If this turns out to be reliable then I'll have to take back what I said about HTC! Really hope this turns out to be true. Not so much for the ROM, we'll have decent ports of that soon anyway, but it will be nice to have official kernel and source.
+1
Kernel 3.0 would be a boon to AOSP ROMs too. HTC has been releasing kernel source codes regularly now, so if an update comes (and boy do i hope it does) you can expect ICS (especially Hardware Acceleration) to get a lot better.
Oh, and it will most probably be Sense 3.5 or 3.6, not 4.0 but no need to fret, with kernel source, Sense 4.0 port should be a piece of cake for our devs

Compare the source of the OP and them
this is awesome
gaming performance is going to go up a lot if HTC includes the new adreno 205 drivers in ICS ,which they probably will
Excellent news. I hope its reliable.
However if this is false, I guess it will be my punishment for what I did last summer... I'll be getting a taste of my own medicine
(I made a fake HTC Facebook page saying the Desire S would officialy get sense 3.0... I got abuse here on the forum when it turned out to be fake!!)

THAT WAS YOU ?!?!?!?!?!?!! Lol that account raised my hoped to a very high level, only to be smacked right on to the ground. Evntually though, both sense 3 and unlockable bootloaders came to the desire s.

yeah man... haha ... I told you in the thread way back in Summer But i was still a new Desire S owner, so you guys wouldn't remember me
I certainly remember you asking loads of questions on the fanpage, and declaring to everyone it was fake!!
hehe, it was quite run running that page.
After HTC released the statement that it was fake, i quickly shut the page down. I was so scared, i thought HTC would have tracked me down and arrest me for spreading false information!!

Well, it is a good news indeed. All of us would rather believe than misdoubt it.
It seems that aurora is in front us.
