[Query] CM5 8 based sense rom - G1 Android Development

No longer doing this here. This is to be deleted by moderator, i would suggest an administrator making a post on the front page about forum etiquette.

Hey all, im thinking of putting together a sense rom (minus the bloat obv) based on CM5, has this already been done? is there any problems you guys can see with doing it?
thanks for the advice
All the best

-Wrong section
-There are plenty of Sense-like Themes for cm5. Add Facebook, Twitter, Some Sense clock widget, Skinned ADW.Launcher/Launcher pro, et voilà.
-Again: Wrong section

It's very hard, if not impossible, to implent the Sense apps into AOSP ROMs.

Its not the wrong section im trying to gauge if i should bother developing a custom android rom. And that didn't really answer my question. Is it possible to bring sense and all it required apks and libraries over to CM5, if this is the wrong section could a moderator move me to the right one

Ok i assumed as much, but it could be done with a lot of work right? i think everyone would agree that it would finally make sense usable on the Dream / MT3G. Overclock to 687mhz kernel bit of comcache bit of JIT, dithering, zipaligning and stipping away of some of the crap that is included in sense roms and you're away!

It takes waaay too much work, believe me.

Ok well i wouldnt mind the challenge, i feel kind of useless as iv been a software developer for a few years and im only now learning to build roms lol would any one be interested in giving me a hand to build this?
EDIT: What do we think of Sensation as a name for the rom?

Great Idea! how about GSense

You will need to know how to read/understand & write smali code..

Like i said im in software development so it should be to bad im also a good bash scripter i just need to get my head around all of the tools that cooks use to build roms.
So ok features what would be wanted in a this new GSense rom (im using that name and my tagline will be "that tingly sensation" ;-) )

Well it will be using the sense apks for the most part, does sense have a custom settings menu?

Since CM 5 series is android 2.1, make an Sense 2.1 ROM. I would recommend using the Droid Eris 2.1 dump since I am running KingKlick's DroidEris2G1 and that thing is the fastest, smoothest Sense 2.1 build that I have run.

Im using bits of the android 2.1 update for the european HTC Hero but if i get good reason i will be using bits of other roms (e.g droid eris which is a hero effectively)

Oh right! yep that will be there

I have always liked sense, but have never liked how 'sluggish' it runs in comparison to other android roms since it comes with some extra baggage i.e. Rosie. But if you can make this happen, I'll be quite excited and will probably try it out..so...all the best!

Does Camera work on KingKlick's DroidEris2G1?

allow me to comment: if you take cm5 and replace the apk's and frameworks, you will run into several problems:
1. it'll be too big for g1, without using mtd mods...
2. you'll essentially end up pushing everything from a sense rom into different folders (bin, lib, etc) in order to even get stuff working
3. it'll basically turn into a sense rom with a cm kernel... which already exists. LOL
4. you'll have to learn smali, which is confusing as you-know-what
HAVE FUN!!!

Z.X.D's 1.6 (v0.5) Get it While its Hot!

This Rom is using supper d's kernel and build for now, and is heavily optimized. We took the fastest Roms made for 32b(the g1, and the mytouch 3g for people who didnt know that) and combined them together to make this Rom. domenuk the creator of blue magic, xillius200 the creator of OpenRemix, and my self first time Dev decided to bring a extremely fast, and stable Rom to the community, and this is what we came up with.. hope you like it
This version introduces something fresh and new. I think and hope it works.
after some weeks every rom tends to get slower, even if you uninstall all your apps. what often helps is clearing all that google cache stuff.
this rom does this on boot
I am quite shure it will be included in most of the roms anytime soon... but for now this makes that rom the fastest avaliable
(Plus they will hopefully have my name somewhere in the credits )
Also zipaligning everything on boot. no longer neede for apps built with sdk 1.6 but.. you never know... Thanks to wesGarner for that script
The Idea is based on a time when it bothered me that my phone was soo lame, and on cachemate from market.
If you want all your caches cleared (Literally all... I think it clears hundrets of apps), buy it. Also If you want to donate, buy this app instead
Also Using Meltus Equalizer lib. hope it works
And Stuff from fasttest, csdi, blue magic, and cyan. (Credits )
Other stuff that's new: JIT Dalvik enabled by default.
This and Ramhack will be avaliable through spare parts, later (hopefully)
what might not work (as always) is compcache. but i'm not shure (try ^^)

Taking something, adding something, improving something... that's esier than actually building a rom from scratch/source - but it has to been done anyway.
I guess most people don't have time for creating an own theme, implementing everything and so on.
with many different packages, there is a huge variety.
Why should the same work be done over and over again by everybody?
You can just find one that suits you best.
You don't have to flash them, if you want to do all this stuff on your own
Eclair is still not superior to donut imho. Still waiting for an official magic 32b build.
let me know how the rom is.
No more originality -.-
"We took the fastest Roms made for 32b" so ha.. that means it's not for the G1?

Just kidding.
It's rom cooking I guess.
Btw: [email protected] has an own kernel that seems a lot faster (slower than superD with ramhack... but without ramhack...), so it's more than that...
What is included in CSDI? SuperD and WesGarner and Cyan and own code?

Friends Stream?

Is there anyway I can get Friends Stream for fresh's 2.1 ROM?
Its been discussed before. The frameworks are different.
legend roms only right now, make a choice. DarchLegend is a solid rom.

For me its either Darch or Flipz...the best roms IMO.
Friend Stream is such a nice widget for integrating facebook and twitter that I may have to go back to Darch.
I love that the Flipz rom is based off the sprint leak but I feel like its still lacking all the benefits of the Legend builds...

I meant when you said Flipz' rom was lacking all the benefits of a Legend rom, I just wanted to know what benefits besides the Friend Stream. I too think that Flipz and Darch make the best roms, I just haven't had a chance to try out DarchLegend v5 yet. I loved v4.3.
Friend stream was the main thing but some other apps don't seem to work for me right now like epocrates...
That said, both are solid...

Well one of the better features on the legend Rom is the browser that comes along with it. It has a very cool copy and paste feature that is also tied with easy dictionary and translation access.

Thanks...I gave that a shot but it just says "did not install".
I have allow untrusted checked off too so...maybe it needs to be resignedi don't know...
It's not a matter of getting it installed. It has dependencies on other apks images and framework files. It will never work on another Rom unless some ports all its dependencies over which well no one seems to want to do.
It cannot just be installed and work believe me. I wish it was that simple.

[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....

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.....

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.

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.

[WIP/DEV/ROM] MIUI ROM! Pngs finished! Calling All Devs! (12-22-10)

This is a port of the MIUI rom to our mdpi devices. We need help to get this ROM running on our lower end devices (ie: Hero, G1, Magic, etc). Please PM alexthearmo if you are willing to help in any way!
Update 12/22/10: We are officially done porting every single png in every apk to be compatible with our phones (mdpi). This has been a huge undertaking and many people were involved: ehac1680, alexthearmo, neilege, andronut, dannybiker, moxlon69, asadullah, and jpool81 (if I forgot you, please PM me). Unfortunately, this project is now beyond our capabilities. Now that the tedious work is done, we need some Devs who are willing to get these APKs to run on our devices. I am posting a link to the new mdpi MIUI apks, so that any willing DEV can take this project to the next level. PLEASE don't let this project be abandoned! It is now in the hands of the community/devs!
Here are the MDPI MIUI APKS. <-----These are all the apk files that are found in the MIUI ROM.
Credits: A detailed list of who did which apks
If you are interested in learning more about the MIUI rom, check out the following links!
MIUI ROM in action: MIUI VIDEO
Read about the latest MIUI update here: MIUI UPDATE
And here's a link to the ROM for any DEVS who want to look at it and help port: MIUI ROM DOWNLOAD <--- Don't Flash! This ROM has the old (hdpi) apks. If you want the new (mdpi) ones, download them from the top of the OP.
Keep this thread positive and proactive and soon enough we'll have a sweet ROM! Thanks for a great community!
God bless!
.
I literally screamed when I read this title!!!! OMG!!! This is very good news and I'm excited to see how it's works and I'll glad test it too.

Pretty sweet! Wonder if it would run as smooth on half the processor?

It should. They said it makes the Nexus One process 3 times faster than stock android. That's a crazy speed boost, so it should be the same for us as well. You can read about it in the article I recently posted to the bottom of the original post.
I pm'ed bnice about this since he mentioned that he could get the kernel running for the hero, and I have a ton of experience with porting pngs. But I haven't heard back, I might have to signup at miui to get his attention.
What do you guys think should I per-sue this? I run miui on my evo now and I need a reason to mess with the hero again.

Over clocking and optoes can very alot between cpu's while I think it would run on the hero just fine, I would expect it to be very comparable to other AOSP roms.

If it's worth running on the EVO I'd say its definately worth running on the Hero

YES! Please Pursue! We need the help. I just downloaded the newest MIUI rom to check out the files...but I'm dreading doing the 9.pngs. I am so slow at them, and I've only really worked with them twice before.
Here...download the latest ROM and check it out. If you have a lot of experience, it'll help make the process so much faster. We would LOVE the help! http://code.google.com/p/d1-miui/downloads/detail?name=D1-MIUI-0.11.26.1.zip&can=2&q
Let me know!
My theme porter could probably do a substantial amount of the png porting with some small tweaks to it. Alex tell me if you need anything I'll follow your lead on this.
EDIT:
I check the out tonight and see if I can't convert every png (even the 9 patch's) tonight. I'll check back

Awesome! If you need help with the pngs let me know (though, I don't have very much time right now...it's finals time for college). I don't know how to do any of the kernel, or xml stuff...I just know how to work with pngs, 9.pngs, and a TINY bit of HEX editing...so we need people like you involved with the project.
Do you know how to do all the other fancy stuff? (ie: compiling, getting a rom to work on our hardware, etc)?

MIUI makes CM6 and aosp look like windows 95. its not just a skin, its a whole rom full of gestures and etc. Maybe u just ran a THEMED CM6, but this my friend is way diff from cm6/aosp. Miui is epic man.

[REQ][DEV]Port Sense 3.5 lockscreen to Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROMs

This thread is in Development because I mean to share a development idea that I had with the devs here. I don't have the knowledge or skill to work this out myself, so I'm hoping to start a discussion among devs who can do something with it.
Right. At the moment, Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROMs are all using the Sense 3.0 lockscreen - but it's still an old version of that lockscreen, ported in the early days of the HTC Sensation (by seo if I'm correct). Resizing for the lower resolution on the Desire was necessary, and you can see that clearly on the lockscreen - icons and text appear slightly "squashed", and performance is slightly choppy as well.
However, on full Sense 3.5 ROMs ported from the HTC Runnymede, the lockscreen is graphically flawless, and it's lagfree as well, probably largely due to the fact that no resizing is involved. It's just a much better lockscreen than the Sense 3.0 one found in Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrids.
My question/idea is: could this properly sized Sense 3.5 lockscreen be ported from Bliss or Runnymede ROMs to work in Sense 2.1 ROMs?
I'm hoping for this to be a place for devs to discuss and hopefully work out this idea. Mods, if you still think this is in the wrong place, feel free to move.
Thanks in advance!
Question is whose ROM for Base?

I suggest Rsk or Seb's ROM

Both of which are based on Runnymede RUUs. Keep in mind that the question is to port the lockscreen from Sense 3.5, not from a single specific Sense 3.5 ROM - so the base will come from HTC, not from any custom ROM developer here.
In other words, this question is pretty much irrelevant.
Bump. I'm hoping at least one of the few developers still left here could look into this.

Might have a go if you want. Something different. Not for a couple of days though. Sense isn't my thing but smali /apktool is. I'll pm when I can.

Many thanks, man! Looking forward to it.
I was hoping we could do most of our communication in this thread, though. That way, other devs could chip in wherever help may be needed. And that could be welcome, if Sense really isn't your thing
Hoping to see as much dev input as possible here, and it seems we're off to a great start. Thanks again!

Ok no probs. I have enough pms for porting and mods, a thread would be a good change
No promises, but ill do my best to have it done this weekend. It's not that I'm anti-sense, but I've always been on my miui builds (for at least 8 of the 11 months I've owned an android phone). Fingers crossed .
Which 2.1+3.0 Rom do you use at the moment? I already have a few 3.5 zips so can get the lockscreen easy enough, just need to know which Rom to use when doing the porting /testing? (and so I can see what you mean about the visual problems.)
Still won't know how big a task it is until I look tomorrow.
His signature says he is using the Alex-V's ROM.
I haven't tried Alex-V 1.8 ROM yet, but i use InsertCoin for years now. I'd love to see it in InsertCoin 1.1.4 as well. I'll stay tuned.

I'm on Alex-V 1.8 for cm7r2 now, the link is in my sig. I don't think there's much of a difference with other 2.1/3.0 ROMs (like InsertCoin), if any difference at all - as far as the lockscreen goes, that is. They all use different implementations of a2sd (standard, data++, ad2sdx, even int2sd), which probably needs looking into.
And take your time. It's already immensely appreciated that you're willing to look into it in the first place.
This looks like a very interesting project. To be honest though, I don't think a hacked up version of the ring lockscreen will go any faster on sense 2.1 roms.
If you check out any pure Sense 3 port you will see that the lockscreen is way smoother than any 2.1/3.0 hybrid or even a 3.5 rom, even with all the resizing.
In my opinion it all comes down to framework changes between sense versions.
But anyway, I guess a good starting point would be a smali by smali compare between an original sense3 htclockscreen.apk and one from the hybrid roms to roughly see what needs changing. Then you could try to apply the same modifications in the 3.5 lockscreen apk.

Possibly, but in any case we'd still lose the graphical imperfections of the old, resized Sense 3.0 lockscreen. In Sense 3.5, the ring is a lot bigger too - it sticks out further from the bottom, making it easier to grab and unlock. Even just graphically, it's better than the current lockscreen.
Also, nobody's ever tried this, so we'd never know if it'll be faster.

I concur. Thanks for your input!
Trust me, I know what needs doing
How hard it is to do is the question, porting apks between frameworks is fairly simple unless they are massively different and the apk is hugely dependent on it.
I had miui v4 themes working on evervolv by hand porting the code, and ported apks between frameworks before so have a fair idea what needs doing .
This thread will turn out to be highly educational then. Nice
Just fyi, due to a couple of things taking longer than I thought yesterday, will most likely get around to looking at this on Wednesday. I'll post when I have anything useful.
Alright. No worries, I've got plenty of revision to kill time until then.
Is there a way to "install" Sense 3.0 lockscreen on Sense 1.9 (stock HTC gingerbread for Desire)?

Not without modifying it, and no, I have no plans to look at anything else sense related, sorry.
Please stay on topic.
Been trying to get Alex-Vs rom since yesterday, and download is stuck at 98% and has been disconnecting constantly. PITA and I'm tired so hopefully it'll finish tomorrow and I can have a look.
