[Q][Request] Epic 4G ports

Well I don't know how different the two phones are but is it possible to start porting roms from the Epic to the SK4G? If so I would like to make a request. I have placed the url on the bottom if the post. If this is possible to port I wouldn't mind testing

Full rom ports are somewhat difficult in general, and the Epic 4g, despite having a similar look/form factor, is not nearly as similar as one would think. If you could come up with parts of the rom you like, a themed rom would be much easier to make.

[Q] Best Gingerbread Sense 2.1 ROM?

Hello i have over a month with my Inspire 4G, and im ready to move, since i did love Root features on my Motorola Milestone and want to try gingerbread.
So my requirements for a ROM are simple:
1. Gingerbread
2. Sense 2.1 (this is my first HTC and i love sense, but dont like the lag that produce sense 3 on the Inspire)
So based on that i have narrow down a few ROM checking over the devs forum,
LeeDrOiD 4G
Android Revolution HD
ClearDroid
Inspired Ace
So what you guys think?, which is the Best Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 ROM?
Im really hoping good opinions since im pretty new with my Inspire and not know much about those ROMs...
Thanks

Everyone's opinions will differ. I am running inspired ace and I think its great. Battery life is good and it runs very smooth. But your best bet is to try each of them for a few days. Make a backup of each one when you switch to the next. Then once you figure out which one you like the best just restore that backup. That's how I did it anyways. Flashing roms is one of my favorite things about being rooted. It's kind of an addiction. So have fun!

There is no best Rom, only best for you and only you can say which one is best for your device. If you would have searched you would know all best told threads are closed in sight.

[POLL] [REQUEST] AOSP ROM / MIUI ROM for our Sensation

Hey guys,
I know that developing is in its early stages (doh, it came out yesterday haha), but I just wanted to let our beloved devs that we really really want to have a rom that is AOSP. Sense is a good eye candy, but I am sure that there are many of us in here that would like to get the maximum out of this beast of ours, and I think that AOSP android would give us all that.
Either that, or MIUI ROM - just something different than the Sense 3.0
I am also including a poll - to see if its just me with the desire of getting a non-sense rom ( and by that I mean AOSP, not just removed htc.sense and adding launcher pro ).
I love CyanogenMod as much as the next guy, but I remember that on my MT4G - the AOSP version used to run even better than the cm7.
I kinda liked Sense once I got it, but now I am getting tired of it - its just too much! I want a plain phone, that works like the hardware was meant to be.

I'm waiting for CM7

+1! would absolutely LOVE to see miui on my sensation!

I'm waiting for any ROM that is AOSP or atleast something different from sense.

MIUI would be wonderful!

I don't get the hype for MIUI. I have only seen it in videos but it looks pretty ugly to me. Why would you want to trade in Android OS for an iPhone wannabe?

I like MIUI because it was simple. I guess the biggest reason would be that it was just different. Another one would be that I liked the way some of their apps worked. Such as Miui music.
Honestly for the sensation I'd like to see all of the above. I get bored a lot and to alleviate that I tend to flash different roms often.

AOSP would be heaven, but I doubt that you'll beat kmobs to the punch.

not CM7 perse, but a good AOSP or AOSP based rom is needed to create MIUI. This is from the MIUI forums regarding a port to the Sensation.

Great...
i want to see miui on my htc sensation...
I'll be waiting...

I voted for CyanogenMod, ASOP and MIUI ;-)
Not big on monogamy at this point, I want all.
Waiting patiently.

Be patient, they're working on it. Kmobs has the basics working but they won't release until it's ready.
I check download.cyanogenmod.com and sensation development like 3 times a day, lol.

I'd love CM7.1 to work on our Sensation.... did try the test rom in the Development forum and apart from not being able to turn on the bluetooth, and losing a few settings like Internet Sharing, it feels pretty complete....

Could be me... Voted for CM7

Former Nexus S user here.
AdamG cooked up some delicious OxygenROM for the NS. Supposedly one of his cohorts is porting Oxygen to the Sensation. Hopefully that makes it here because it was an incredibly fast and lightweight AOSP rom.

oh I can't wait for CM7 on my Sensation.... I like Miui too but not nearly as much as CM7. I really miss RoyalGinger that I had on my MT4G, I almost wish I'd of waited to buy my sensation until CM7 dropped for it.

Stupid request, wait and give devs the time they need for there awesome work for all of us.
By the way, c-mod is much more greater for every device because they're developing than stolen c-mod stuff modded by miui "devs".
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I haven't used cyanogenmod since cm5, and want that impressed with features. I'll sure many more have been added since then and hope to see it soon. Some of the plain aosp apps kind of suck vs the manufacture flavor though. hopefully the latest CM builds have many bulls info them. I do prefer vanilla ish (launcherpro) vs manufacture launchers though

MIUI music is the coolest modded music player out there...and MIUI is fun to tinker with and reminds me of iOS...used to be a Dev so it makes it nostalgic..plus you can change so many things without coding or fussing

Why I Love This Phone & Developer Community

I don't know about everyone else, but i think this phone has one of the best developers, themes, & modders. I've been running the latest unofficial CM10.2 & it just reminded me of the 4.2.2 builds that preludedrew did back in my Inc2 days.
Shout out to all of our developers
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I agree. This phone does seem to have a great community. I certainly haven't had any shortage of a selection for roms, and when roms have bugs they are typically fixed within a few days. The Fascinate also was blessed with a pretty great community, back when I had that.

Could be that I'm just being nostalgic but I really miss the days of my old Incredible. What a huge dev community. Of course it helped that the Evo 4G's community was huge and they had essentially the same phone, but it was a great environment to get involved with Android.
CM7 was rock solid stable, there was a large assortment of different ROM types available like Sense 1.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.5 and 2.1/3.0 hybrids. It was a great playground for a budding flashaholic.
The GS3 community has been equally as large but doesn't have the ROM variety the Inc had. Essentially on this phone your choices are Touchwiz Nature UX, CM and MIUI. All the TW ROMs are largely the same aside from theming and tweaks. Can't blame the developers for this, as Samsung made it too difficult to backport the newer versions of TouchWiz (and who'd want to anyway?).
I will say that despite these limitations we do have a plethora of choices and it continues to grow month after month.

I understand, because I had the EVO 4G,which to me was the ultimate development phone. We had ports of everything, and it got overwhelming!
But hey... We have sense 5 on this phone now! I don't remember getting TW on my EVO 4G! :thumbup:

I had the Evo 4G and I understand what you mean. In some ways I still miss that phone!
It wasn't just the phone, in pre-ICS days Android was truly an open OS and there were tons of variants, including many Chinese roms. I remember the first day I put on MIUI and it was like everything changed and became better, it was that different and better. Then we had all kinds of CM7/Sense based rom's.
With ICS everything became much harder. It took CM almost a year to get a stable version, older devices like the Evo were abandoned and never fully recovered, and these days its much much harder to get true variety.
The devs and XDA are what keeps Android worth using.

I remember that Evo 4G as well, it did seem as if we were able to run everything that was out at the time. The ports worked pretty good except for wimax aka 4G, but being on sprint at the time it didn't work that well anyway so we weren't missing out on that feature too much. But we move on as the devs move on.

Roms for HTC Evo Design 4g

Hi,
I'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
