I would like to help you...
Ahhh, I'll give it a go as well, send me the info and the gear..at [email protected]
the Ophone SDK is openly avaliable to the public.
http://www.oms-sdn.com/
good luck with the porting!!
Quick status update.. Im Guessing this is harder than i imagined, if anyone could give me a pointer to how to make a system.img from sdk i would appreciate it, then it would be done no maps or market yet, but once i have the system.img on my g1 i can see what files need placing on or modifying to put google apps on, im sure its not impossible, im lucking forward to getting this workin.. the g1s capable of running this.. the only thing worrying me is that im guessing its gonna need the new SPL seeing as its apps are bigger than hero.. Anyway, Promise by tomorro i will have figured out how to make a system.img and ill post it up on here
I'm working on it since saturday evening and now i'm really stuck. Do you wanna to share clues? My ICQ/AIM: 278-783-808 or jabber: [email protected] or yahoo: [email protected]
haykuro said he had it ported to his G1 but he never released a public one.
I know he did, that is why I want to port it by Myself. By the way, i have some really testing version here. It looks like it's trying to boot but there are some issues with Audio and Graphics. Trying to get it working. Please provide some support
its apps are bigger than hero

My hdd has gone on me just now! arrrgh (Posting from dads laptop, sadly it runs winblows )!, One thing i did notice however is that its a very big OS, the whole thing is bigger than Hero, so maybe taking out some of the Chinese widgets like the one on the 1st page which i have no idea what it does but im shure that takes up alot of space so.. And dont replace it with hero one.. Thats still rather big, get the image working 1st before trying to PIMP it out
If anyone wants to share there update script from ophone let me know i have a build almost complete, just missing the script.
No, It is NOT actually bigger than Hero. I'm working on it, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3960559#post3960559
Will anyone be able to use it? Does the SDK include an english version or is all the writing in chinese?
Hmmm, Maybe i've done something wrong then.. Mines coming out at around 80mb :S, I got the feeeling thats why mine dint work at all lol, Ill start from scratch, Im not really getting anywhere fast when my laptops kinda bugged up
Yes it is also in english (it's default language) but there are some chinese trash i suppose.
EDIT: Again link to my thread where I have very first beta. I need to solve probs with Audio and Video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526436

I think im going to put up a link in 1st post to your thread That way they can try your beta if they come here, seeing as am not getting nowhere on this
We can work as group. I have some friends who are helping me with some linux in it but I'm the only one who is doing android stuff so you can help me and they will help us with linux sphere
Nothing much but just tell you small thanks for your hard work for this community, Since i've got my first htc magic i had no clue how to deal with roms or android at all.
I've found ahmgsk on this forum and just added him to my gtalk and said "oh well, if i've a luck he will approve me" and guess what? he has.
since then he has teached me step by step about roms, about android explained me about radio, roms and helped me with many upgrades/downgrades and saved me from screw up my device as many would in this forum while trying change the radio or what so ever. he NEVER asked me to vote or review him. But after his decent help to me, a person he never knew or got anything from. I want just tell you, thank you for what you are and hopefully see you keeping up your great work at this community!
You are an leader, I'm the follower.
Good luck

+1 i can only agree with that.. to bad that there is some idiots instead of getting a live spending thy're time on frustrating and annoying others.
thx to ahmgsk i have come along way with my sapphire too
and point i would like to mention to people here about ahmgsk. Even he has lost his Magic in the past december. He has still worked hard to bring the Magic owners the great roms, he has exchanged many of his must study hours to create roms and help people all the time.
He is a truely good person with good intentions, when he even lost his own Magic he didnt said "i lost mine, so i dont care of others" he kept working hard and every second he could borrow magic from some one, he used to keep and creating great things for everyone here!
Sorry but have I missed something regarding ahmgsk!? would someone be kind and filling me in what has happened?
i also want to thank ahmgsk for his hard work and great roms
i like his work he is one best in rom dev.but feeis sorry for what happen in his latest rom thread which was unfortunate.
i will request him to continue his great rom devlopment thank u
I'm pretty sure if he left the community on his own accord, he's no longer interested and never will be.
I think we should be standing behind the devs who are still here and truly are dedicated to this forum.
+1
and not the ones who asks for money and quits.
it's a shame.
I agree with all of you, except one or two. He for our did a great job only for our entartainment. You like it or not, this is the truth. It is truth that nobody put him to do that, but at least we can a little respect for his great work. I and probably most of you are waiting for him to come back.
So good luck and come back soon.

please show me where he has stated that he won't be doing any dev job without getting a money/donations?
guys... he deved on friend device... that one he dont have anymore how u whant him to dev without device ? he is a good coder... but its like u cant code on typewriter... anyway he did things because he like not because he needed...
if he had a personal magic he never quit... trust me
Yeah, and a lot of people donated a lot of money for his nee Magic. Do you belive that he didn't get enough money (about 350$ for brand new)?? I belive he gets the money! But now he won't develop for us anymore. It is too sad, because he promise that new version will come at tuesday, then he said on friday, then on sunday and finally - no release for u f****s... OK THANKS for the "no release".
Hope you will spend our money for one good weekend.
In fact it is not so dificultly to make roms by yourself guys. I am making my owns, when i am tired to wait somone to give me a good rom. Maybe i should start to recruit some donations and after 1 month develping will tell you - go away, i am tired? Good idea.... but i am not like the others. If i start to release modified builds, there will be no link for donations.
i agree
any of you actually use ahgmsk roms?
the last one I found usable was his superD port only
rest of them were too incomplete to even work other than tests
:lol: @ This Indian kid running off with your donations after only releasing Beta roms. Only daily rom was Super D, and that was ported.
Really, how hard is it to port a donut rom to NR?
those were not even new radio when he made that port lol (superd ahgmsk port was old radio)
that was before he started his work on porting sense dumps to the NR

yes, I use his SuperHero1.5.
I'm very happy happy with this rom, it is the fastest one (with SenseUI) I ever tried (and I tried many)!
SuperHero2.0 would have been great, but ok, i can stick with SuperHero1.5 until htc releases the offical update.

hey robocik is pretty damn close with his robomix
its pretty premo - some DiS here and there - and ofc usb problem but its almost daily usable
on the otherhand, that is why I have 2 complete up to date donut roms ported which are suitable for daily use, and I was downloading from you LONG before I got frustrated with the roms around here, to have to make my own ports
to all the people that can live with bugs on a rom and use it, im not one of you - sorry
need stable!

just wanted so say whats up to all im new in this realm my interests are to learn how to write source code and im starting at the bottom im trying to suck up all the information i can so if ya see me on holler i give thanks to all you geeks that do this its a great thing i am on us cellular i own the samsung mes i500 galaxy s ive already broke the phone trying to jump right in waiting for insurance to send another lol so ive decided to read read read everything i tried to flash cwm to my mes had rooted it already and she never came back went into boot loop nothing i could do so new one coming monday i hope and we will start from scrach anyone have any suggestions let her rip thanks in advance
I've been trying my hardest contacting many people to get development started with this phone. Since not many Experienced Devs would be looking the way of this phone i've been trying to reach out.
I Contacted AndroidSpin as well and they are very well known android news site (which i check everyday) and managed to get an article out about helping with development with our phone (awsome, thanks AndroidSpin!) See the Article Here
Hopefully in the Near future we will have a working recovery and ROMs/Mods/Themes Rolling out. A Very experienced Dev has Contacted me Back Saying he is Willing to Help but nothing is promised as he doesnt have a Sidekick 4G at hand. But he is willing to make a working recovery for us so lets see what happens .
He will Definitely need testers.. i will be one ofcourse hope others are interested in seeing development stir up over here aswell !
nice to hear about.....i have been checked this 4rum everyday to looking for a news but still......hopefully something will come out soon....:x im willing to be the tester for this as well.....
I just want to say thank you to all of you working on this. As a former Hiptop user and open-source enthusiast, I took issue with the closed platform that Danger had installed on it and ended up ditching it. When I heard the new Sidekicks would be running Android I jumped at the chance to have one, only to find out that development was lacking interest due to the stigma of the old Hiptops as phones for teenagers. It's wonderful to see more people getting interested in this and I hope to help as much as I can in the future. Thank everyone again and happy hacking to you all!
willing to help
I'm very interested in getting development going for this phone as well, I don't have the time or the skill set to cook roms myself but I am more than willing to test and give feedback. I know a lot of devs aren't interested since they spent last year with the galaxy s line of phones and there are new dual cores to play with, but I think this phone is really unique and could definitely have a big following because of the fact that it is soo different than the sea of slabs out there. I hope development picks up, there are plenty of custom roms out there already built for the galaxy s line that would only need to be tweaked to work with this device so hopefully that picks up soon.
I'm very interested in helping with development, came from the G1 and had fun with that. I was trying to figure out how to compile ClockworkMod but because Samsung uses initRamFS rather than a regular makefile, I was unable to figure it out. I'm very open to testing and trying to help as best I can with developing on this phone, feel free to e-mail me if anyone has any need to test anything, I'm always checking my e-mail. sduvick AT gmail.com. For those who understand the compiling of clockworkmod, I would suggest working from the Vibrant version, as the buttons are all mapped right, we just need to add the storage driver so that the sdcard can be mounted.
I would love to be a tester please keep me posted.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App
+Thanks.
I'm still stock and would be willing to help some dev's
I have all the software necessary to flash different phones to different providers, courtesy of a friend of mine that owns a store. But he doesnt have time to teach me how to use it. can anyone out there help me out??
No one??
u can use search before posting thread
i already did, its kinda hush hush cause ppl are always asking for the software that no one wants give out. but i just need a little guidance :/ im mainly trying to get my evo and a blackberry 9330 on boost
