(Q) when will we have rom(s) for our mt4gs

Why can't we get any rom for the mt4gs? I have been waiting and nothing is coming but the sensation has a lot of roms....
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

We're all waiting and hoping as well, and some of us have even pledged money to whoever can help us out, but for now we just continue to wait. The Sensation has been out for a bit longer now, and I'm sure in due time we'll get ROMs, but not soon enough... It's not that we CAN'T get ROMs, it's just that no one has developed one yet...

i wish theres a way to learn how to develop roms, cuz our phone is similar to the sensation, so there would be a slight changes to the ROMs they have no?

Yeah it seems like for the most part all we have is a newer H-Boot and probably not much else... I put a thread in the Sensation forums asking for a dev to try out the MT4GS but no luck so far...

on of the more daunting hurdles to jump the the difference in screen size between the 2 devices

im tryin to get androidspin or androidcentral to tweet saying that we need a new rom for the mytouch 4g slide

Although I'm used to the wait for the first ROMs, I am surprised that we haven't had a CM dev (new or existing) popping in to say they've picked it up and are working on it.
Also not sure if this thread belongs in the dev forum...

yea sorry for posting it in the dev forum but its not like we have any dev yet... and BTW androidspin Retweeted my tweet, lets see if we get anything.
my twitter: motown9987

*holds breath and crosses fingers*

I sent a PM to Cjward23 and Evil D: who are part of the Virtuous team, I would LOVE to have any one of their ROMs for this device! I told them there would be money offered, as I'm sure many of us are willing to do! He said he'd pass it on to the team - hopefully things will start to happen for us!

yea i tweeted virtuousteam team telling them to make a rom for us, so lets see if they respond, *crossing fingers*

MT4GS are similar to the G2 yeah? Same res, etc. I dont think it would be that hard. Im a dev for the DZ, and could probs port some over, but it would be pretty hard without MT4GS. Too bad they aint available in the uk D:

This is the best place to start, it has just about all the resources you'll need. It's overwhelming at first, but just take it one step at a time and you can make some progress. I say all of that, of course, and I haven't actually done any dev work myself...

I already have a mt4gs stock ROM deodexed, debloated, optimized, busybox, and some other enhancements all ready in the works. I will also add a data app folder so the bloat can be easily removed. Just give me a week or so to get settled in. I'm coming over from the mt4g so patience will be needed. I think this mytouch slide I have is defective so I wanna test this ROM before i release it.

they are, try eBay .
Are there any sources yet?
I would like to try a port as well, I have a MT4G slide, but it is my daily phone .
i love the default rom, running evil D: 's port on my G2
I would like to try MIUI on the MT4G slide, but with a rotating launcher.
CM7 + go launcher is pretty good as well, using Theme installer

Man what is this crap?? The G2 already has a rom ported from the Mytouch 4g slide..this is bull. Has anyone heard an update on how much longer it might be till we see some roms??..im having Custom ROM withdrawl..lol

great work on the touch screen! you guys are awesome.

OK so the hold up now seems to be LG right? in search for lg device drivers?

I think its ready for a ALPHA test now.. touchscreen works 100% and so does the radio wifi etc.. hardware acceleration wont be coming anytime soon but i can live without it for now

There are a lot of things that will need to be ironed out before we can even consider a beta.
First hand, without hw acceleration the phone crawls.

and hardware acceleration isn't possible without updated drivers correct?

Correct unless some kind of workaround is created.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

Hope you can get HW acceleration to work soon. Can't you do whatever other roms like cyanogen mod did?
Its not like they got exclusive access to tegra drivers...

The problem is the binary blob implements hw acceleration according to the way Gingerbread expects it which is different than how Honeycomb and ICS do it.
I've seen at least one person talk about rewriting the library from the android side to match how the nVidia blob works. Which would be a good backup plan if LG renegs on the ICS update for our phones.

I understand it's not as easy as copy paste source code, but the strategy should be the similar. I've never done any low level development so I'm just shooting in the dark here.
Also cm9 is expected in 2 months and I assume it will support the g2x. I wouldn't count on lg for anything. So rewriting the library is probably the best bet.

Glad to see so many new people jumping on and helping out. I'm sure most people here would help if they knew how.
Thanks for the work, guys! Where can we donate?

I've been a lurker on these forums for a long time and never realized I had to have 10 posts to post in the developer forums, so at least I can post in this thread. I will be getting up to speed on the ICS source over the next couple days and hope to join the effort in development of the port to the g2x as soon as I have my dev environment up. I'll be sitting in the IRC channel to ingest the info on where you guys are at so that I can jump in and help with any parts (sound maybe?) that you guys need assistance with.
Great job so far, hopefully I can be of assistance.

Actually, CM9 has been running on the G2x since Thanksgiving and according to a dev running well. They're still testing so aren't ready to release anything yet but we'll have it very, very soon.

I'm very curious to see it in action.do we know if it's accelerated graphics or framebuffer?

Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

Yeah, its Trips build. Trip was banned from XDA a little while ago and stopped all development over at MoDaCo because Kmobs disproved a lot of what Trip said his ROMs had, like full hardware acceleration. Then Trip edited the title to his ICS thread and called Kmobs a winker.
Sorry Arzbhatia but not much developing is going on at MoDaCo lol.

Now, is he doing a proper ICS build or more of a frankenstein "ducktape" style build? After reading what Kmobs said, it looks like Trip is putting together a ROM using all sorts of stuff rather than what he is supposed to be doing.
Its so hard to figure out what exactly is going on. I also dont understand how Kmobs could be doing so well (or so we are told) and then see Trip having such a hard time.
Matt

He may have been working hard but the temper tantrums I think we can all do without. Now he said he has uninstalled all ICS developing tools from his computer and is done.

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.
It seems that we could have a stable release (or two if CM9/Kang release something too) till Christmas !

[OFFICIAL]Desire S gets official ICS!!!

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.

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

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
