Is this a bad idea? Droid CM7. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have a Moto Droid 1 and I am currently running CM7 Nightlies. I'm trying to find a way to get HTC Sense to run on the Droid. I was wondering what would happen if I took the CM7 that is designed for the HTC Incredible and installed it on my Droid.
Any thoughts?

Nobody's tried this?

The CM7 for Incredible does not have Sense. None of the CMs have Sense. It's an AOSP ROM.
The update won't work, and might brick your phone. The Incredible has different drivers and a different kernel than your phone. You need a ROM designed for your phone.
Try searching the Droid subforums for a port of Sense. That's the only way you're going to get Sense on your phone.

Thanks for the heads up! So if want to continue to use cyanogen, then sense is an impossibility? Or any custom rom for that matter?

cyanogen = NO Sense, never will have sense
cyanogen also known as AOSP
When searching for a rom if it has AOSP in title chances are it is based off of cyanogen.

Uh, nope. AOSP = Android Open Source Pfoject. If it says AOSP, it is based off the original Android source code (but may incorporate code from other AOSP ROMs).
Sense is not AOSP. HTC took the AOSP source and heavily modified it to make their Sense UI. ROMs based on this can't be considered AOSP.

I guarantee just about every aosp rom out there has some files from CM.
Maybe not a Google device, but others have some libs or drivers of some sort. Go look at the github's of roms. You will see "forked" from cyanogen tree, if not mad props to the chef!
By the way I didnt say sense is aosp
"Uh, nope. AOSP = Android Open Source Pfoject. If it says AOSP, it is based off the original Android source code"
Where do you think cyanogen comes from, the moon?

You would have to take a sense kernel and modify it to run on a motor Droid. It might be possible but it'd be a large undertaking

Ok just so we are clear, this is based on
A) AOSP source code
B) Cyanogenmod source code (which is based on AOSP... but is *not* AOSP code)
Also curious about FM radio since the Hero doesn't have a radio tuner?

This rom is ported to quite a few different devices, so there will be some features that don't apply to the hero.

A) Correct
B) Err... I don't recall reading that in the op?
The original omgb ported to the hero was pure AOSP source with no cyanogen at all as far as I could see... His omfgb rom has cyanogen features but all this one includes is the Tmobile Theme Chooser (which most people seem to think is Cmod only...). If the hero ever got an official 2.3 OTA this rom would be it.
Edit: The simplest way to put it is that this rom is to Cyanogenmod 7 what Aospmod 2.2 was to Cyanogenmod 6.

Am extremely noob question

How do I know which rom is aosp and which is cm7? I ask this to figure out which kernel I should install. As of now I'm on the miui rom and need to pick out a kernel from fauxs thread. Thx
Sent from my Sensation using XDA Premium App
So long as the developers listed the kernel as cm or aosp then you will be safe. I think cm7 is build off aosp source code.

All Cyanogen Mod ROMs are ASOP ROMs as Cyanogen Mod only builds ROMs crime source code. Also the MIUI ROMs or built from Cyanogen Mod source code which is Google source code that has been tweaked by the Cyanogen Mod team then released under the Cyanogen Mod name.
As far as how to tell you just have to read the thread title most of the time as it will have ASOP or CM7 in the thread title usually. If not it will say something about it being ASOP or being based off of CM7 somewhere in the first couple of post.

I don't believe MIUI is built from CM7 source anymore. It's AOSP.

So did I but I was informed last yesterday in another thread that it wsa built from CM Source. I will be looking into this now as it has my curiosity up now.
I believe its all based off cm7. Last I checked xboarder56 didnt have aosp on sensation built. It was harder than he thought. dude gave up and went elsewhere.
MIUI is AOSP with elements of CM7 code
To answer the OP, at present no one has built a 100% AOSP ROM so they're all CM7-based

Most stable Cornerstone ROM(If there is such a thing)

Who's using cornerstone and what ROM are you using and is it stable for day to day use?

Do you know any other?

LOL at you not liking AOSP ROMs LMAO what do you think that CM9 is?
AOSP = Android Open Source Project. It is when Google releases the source code to a particular version of android (GB, HC, ICS) and this source is adapted to your device by usually taking existing kernels (or kernel source code) and drivers for your device and making the Google source code run, pretty much without many additions..although, if you like spice, you will find it in an AOSP ROM. Asus' Stock ROM is also based on Googles source, but then Asus is not obligated to release it's proprietary source (what it adds to the OS that Google AOSP ROM did not have, bloatware, drivers, etc). Therefore what we are able to do in a ROM based on Asus' is limited compared to what can be done in an AOSP ROM. Some are stable, some aren't..it isn't a function of it being an 'AOSP' ROM lol it's just how developed or underdeveloped the ROM is. CM9 for TF101 is way more unstable than CM9 for my Epic, they are both AOSP and from the same source even, and they run differently- because they are at different stages of development and being developed by different teams of people.
Don't be so quick to scoff at AOSP ROMs..they are not all the same, and nothing in the term 'AOSP' means 'unstable' or otherwise anything to be afraid of.

Ok thank you very much for your perfect explanation. But why do you say that CM9 for TF101 is unstable? In the relative thread i read that the users are very satisfied by this rom.
Dont lol at me! hehehe
I know CM9 is AOSP.. that was the first and only AOSP Rom I ever tried..
I'm not scoffing AOSP Roms off I just didn't see the advantage but I didn't know that Asus doesn't release it's proprietary source.
Don't be so quick to lol at people apart from that it was a good reply... I might give them a go again in the future

Pure AOSP or CM9 with HTC kernel source?

Since HTC has just dropped the 3.0 kernel source for the Sensation, is anyone working on a pure AOSP ROM? Not a de-Sensed ROM based off the One S leak, or a CM9 build with drivers hacked in from somewhere, but a real built-from-source ROM.
I'm thinking of taking a crack at building one, but I didn't want to duplicate someone else's efforts.

Sorry, yeah, I forgot about OpenSensation. I might clone the repo and play with the new kernel anyway, just for kicks. I haven't really tried to build Android from scratch before, but I'm a pretty good C/C++/C# programmer, so it might be fun to try.

AOKP
For the record I'd like to say that there is also AOKP, which builds on OpenSensation, which builds on CM9 repos, as far as I can gather.
I'm currently running b31 (b32 came out 2012-04-16) and most everything works. There are a couple of features missing from b31 that I used on CM7.1 Alpha, (like Quiet Hours), but they appear to have been added in b32.
If you're looking for something AOSP, my suggestion would be AOKP.
They pack Nova Launcher as an alternative to the stock launcher, but I uninstalled both and went with APEX, which IMHO beats both on customizability and unintrusive interface. YMMV however...

you wont find one. AOSP and VZW software are independent of each other.
do some research for yourself. visit the original development section for AOSP options, and developement for TWouchwiz options.
check out Jellybeans, its got AOPS theming with TW functionality.

The AOSP developers are no longer developing 4.1.1 based ROMs they are making ROMs based on the 4.2.1 source code. If you want AOSP ROMs go to the original android development section. If you want ROMs based on the official ota then go to the android development section. Just so you know AOSP ROMs are never based on official ota updates but on source codes released prior to any ota by any carrier which is why they are the first to develop the latest version of Android. I can't give an opinion on the AOSP ROMs as they are all in beta and will have problems. In the meantime check out the ROMs in the android development section while the AOSP developers work out the kinks to their ROMs.

Rbarnett, I know what you mean by vanilla. I tried all the asop roms and I gotta say I liked liquid smooth the best. Rc9, built on 4.1 and still available, has a lot of nice features that the newer and less developed beta3 (4.2) does not. All the 4.2 ROMs have busted Bluetooth right now but besides for that they seem to run pretty good. If you don't mind some minor bugs, they are all pretty good to play around with.

Basically a ROM that looks as if Nova launcher or Apex launcher is running... but has samsungs touchwiz removed. Also all the menus are basic ICS and not touchwiz menus. I'm glad you get what I'm saying.
I'll check out Liquid smooth RC9 then since I need working Bluetooth.
Thanks for the recommendation.
