[DEV] Android Revolution HD Alpha[unreleased]

Okay, so first thing first, the kitchen is awesome. I'm surprised no one else has jumped onto it.
Secondly, I know I have to fix up other ROMs to pure awesomeness, but school is buttraping me and I barely have time to do anything that actually requires thinking.
That all being said, I want to launch my own open beta team. I don't have all the time to test everything and fix everything on my own. As part of the beta team, you can test and even send in fixes for the ROM. Sadly I have to depend on others ATM, but school is soon coming to a close and it gets terrible at this time.
Now with the good stuff
This ROM is another port, it's a modified version of Sense 2.1. Came from the Desire HD. Still cooking right now, but I'll be out with it in a few moments (assuming it works; if it doesn't, we try a new ROM. )
It's coming soon, so be patient! And if you'd like to beta test, help, drop hints, or anything, just say so, all help is appreciated

Thanks bro, can't wait for that to drop... Will the pics be compressed in this ROM?

Dude, I love you. (no homo). But you posted that too late. I flashed it and it didn't boot so I wen't back to my other ROM (just to sit there). I'll try that out, this ROM was incredibly sexy.

Well I can't release it yet :x it doesn't boot.. If I release it, I'd be making your devices a shiny fixable paperweight (although this does make a good paperweight).. I can't remember where i had even seen init.glacier.ro .. the kitchen does most of the work, but getting it to boot is my job.. once it at least boots, I'll release it hopefully it'll be by tonight. After that, I'll head back to RCMixGlacier to fight round two with the camera.

The RCMixGlacier went pretty well, minimal issues. This on the other hand is an ass kicker.

If you're looking testers, I'd be happy to jump on board... Just learning to use the kitchen myself, but will give you all the help I can...

Please kindly link me to 2.3.7 for desire hd device.
I would like to look at the thread.
Thank you
Maybe I took to long to release, if someone else beat me to it,
But I would still like any rom feedback, as this is the first step of BOCA coming to more devices.

If that's true, its still okay,
You get a rom that was built today, and I get some feedback.
Its all part of a bigger picture, for me ;-)
Ill switch over, sync my cyanogen, and see. Maybe it will make my task easier
but I still like working with my stuff, I know what was done, and what needs to be done for the next evolution
Thanks for the heads up.

I have tested the rom. As discussed in the other thread, the market keeps FC ing but i noticed that it still installed all the apps(previously installed on my other rom). Wifi, calls...all works..i havent noticed any problems besides the market problem. It seems to be optimized for tablets ?? DON'T FLASH if you want a daily rom.

A FC market has not been discussed anywhere,, as far as i know where did you read that?
please link, as I may have missed that
yes it default loads with the status bar on the bottom, you can easily change that, very easily.
all the apps are synced up to tonites cyanogen merge
You say DONT FLASH, any strong reaon for that statment, other than the market issue you are having, but not everyone is.
Please, I need details, is it unusable? or you just dont like it?
Whatever cyanogen is bot building right now, has the same apps
each build, i have to repo sync again

If you find a market fix that works for you, please post it.

And another port job, basically

Anyone tried if my kernel is working with this?

Hum, what is that, I mean, cyanogen is giving 2.3.7 since 2 days now, and as you said, you're syncing with cyanogen. Is it a full aosp, or it is cyanogen basically?

Yes I sync with cyanogen to get the apps. Then merge those with the work I already did. Was up three days straight doing.
when I started making 2.3.7 work on my Samsung galaxy tab, the nexus s release was only out a day or two. I worked from that, mixing it with Samsung source code and making it more aosp and mixing in some cyanogen.
These test releases, I've stopped, and am looking closer at the new, as of it seems today or yesterday, cyanogen release/merge.
In fact, the brand new cyanogen 10/1/11 sync/merges ruined my last three builds.
Major errors
Except for the needed apps, which I would make myself, if I could, lol, I code myself.
When it gets to BOCA status, it will be based off cyanogen & aosp.
My own brew.
I try to have the whole thing coded by me from base, like my sgt7 Boca port. NOT!!!! A copy of the other sgt7 unofficial cm7 beta release.
BOCA for the tab is my own port job.
I prefer, when I can, build or port it myself, so I know the rom inside and out.
I don't have a black mark on my name, and am known to be a very honest person,here on xda, for those that know me, worked wit me or has their work in my rom.
well I did almost make someone loose photos of lost ones, but eventually it was fixed.
I'm just glad I got 2.3.7 out on one or two devices (sgt7 & g2) before cyanogen did.
I did do a massive Google search for 2.3.7 before I posted any thread outside of Sgt, and the only reply was nexus s.
so I am happy, and these are tests for the next Boca development stage.
I feel better about myself if I built it, I refuse to do a copy/paste theme release of someone else's rom.
Thank you, for your info, it will he helpfull

i'm tuning out of xda forever. can't handle all of this crap. ics sense (which i can live without) will have to wait for htc leaks. any aosp rom is dependent on cm so watch their twitter/google+/forum.
guess what. they all know ics just dropped. now all the noobs will be asking "come on man, where's my ice cream sandwich?" if anyone is lucky, you will see a cm rom before the end of the year. don't expect an htc leak until 2012.
can we close this thread now?

Dude what is your problem? And no AOSP ROMs are not totally dependant on CM. The CM ROMs are just very popular because they are very good AOSP ROMs that are usually tweaked to the max. Do you even know what AOSP means I think not or you would know that anyone can download the source could and build a AOSP ROM. Educate yourself next time so you will not embarass yourself.

ics ics ics ics ics

I know its going to take some time till a ROM is built but how long till we get some apps ported like the new launcher and messenger.....etc.

Seems app can't be ported (like launcher) because they are made for a different API level. Not sure about that but i think i'm right

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 !

Even though we already have a working miui, official miui team is taking poll to make miui for another device official. An official release will mean less bugs and faster updates.

You guys just sit down and relax, i'm totally sure One S will have official support, because almost every above par HTC has it!

I hope we do. but miui tends to keep a lot of older devices and add the newer one later.
but we have a good head start with the unofficial rom, hope they are aware of that.

I find it hilarious and embarrassing how many phones were added to that list more than once...

I will be updating my ROM every week, just like China. It would be done already today, but there was a delay in China. The other thing to realize is if it does go official, it will be based off sense, so the file size will be at least double of what my port is.

That's the way MIUI has been doing all their official v4 releases. It's called patchrom. By doing it that way, they don't have to really on there being a developed aosp base, which can help the roms be released sooner. Downside is the zips are like double the size, and it's not an aosp ROM anymore
