I just recently moved from the G2 to the mt4g slide and I was wondering if it is even possible to port the mexdroidmod rom for the G2 to the mt4g slide. It is cm7 based rom
mexdroidmod -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886184
I used to use this ROM back with my ol' G2.
We currently/won't have a "official" CM7, hence no CM merged into source.
We do have a CM9 coming, but that's besides the point.
Just like PyroMod by blah and spark it isn't very likely to get a MeXDroidMod ROM made from scratch....
I'm no dev, but I hear anything can be ported. The only thing is: mobile hardware has changed leaps inbetween the 2 phones, so it'd b a longshot for a port. Best chance is waiting for our CM9's debut then talking "myjbaar" (hope that's spelled close) and asking if he and his team are interested in trading up and deving for our devices with a ICS MeXDroidMod.
Idk. I'm not that dev team, but I will say a port is unlikely and since our CM isn't merged with source its likely a no go that itl be made from our own CM.
Wait for CM9. But do ask that team if they're at all interested in this blazin' device!
Just my spare change.
blahbl4hblah is interested in porting PyroMod, A2EXT and all, to the Doubleshot. He's just waiting on CM9.

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.

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".

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
OK Guys, I am straight copying this from, fcreeves, the one he put up about the Virtuous ROM
I have had more MT4G's (not SLIDE - Glacier) for quite some time. I run nightlys on it and I REALLY miss the hell out of it. I like sense, it's nice and all but I REEEEALLY don't need it. I also really need the Power Options that CyanogenMod offers.
Here I am now with a MT4GS. NO Custom ROMs. I am sick of checking this Dev Section for a custom ROM(s) and decided to copy someone that had an idea about doing something about it.

Though I'm not replying with transaction ID, I AM SERIOUS. I just got a MT4GS and was quite satisfied with the hardware, but being an old CM (CyanogenMod for Milestone, an official port with excellent quality thanks to its great developer nadlabak) user Sense can be disappointing in every sense (except the cute colorful icons of the Settings menu).
I have quite some Linux development experience, a little embedded system experience, and (hopefully) a friend who is doing Android driver development, so I'm looking forward to participating in porting CM to MT4GS. However, by any means NO GUARANTEE here; therefore I'm not asking nor accepting any donation (for now). I can start the development at most as early as the Chinese winter vacation begins (which is roughly Jan. 15th next year).
Additionally, some words on porting CM to MT4GS: MT4GS and MT4G share quite some hardware, so development should start as porting MT4G's CM to MT4GS. The major difference between the two models, namely the hi-resolution rear camera and the dual-core CPU would pose the main challenge. The keyboard should be trivial; but I really appreciate the design of Caps Lock and Alt Lock light and making it work may take some time.
We are not getting any cm7 support until HTC releases the source code needed to produce an aosp based rom (The Kernel) So you guys need to chill for a bit. We are stuck with sensed base roms until then.

Yes, we are not getting official CyanogenMod support because we can't build an AOSP kernel (yet). But after all, Android (and CyanogenMod) is mostly about the Dalvik VM, which is fortunately above the kernel. Thus a port is not necessarily an official one with an AOSP kernel.
The Motorola Milestone, for instance, has its bootloader locked, which leads to locked kernel, but the developer (nadlabak) was able to build a CyanogenMod port on top of the stock kernel - that is, the init scripts, a customized Dalvik VM, and all the system apk's. Modification of the kernel is still possible through dynamic loading of kernel modules (.ko files), which is quite tedious but nevertheless still possible. The Milestone port of CM is by any means CM except the kernel which is stripped from stock ROM and included as a binary blob along with everything else built from scratch (or from source, from AOSP, from CM).
The case with MT4GS is a little better and a little worse. It is a little better because MT4GS has an open bootloader and therefore we can use a customized kernel as soon as we can build one. (In the case of Milestone, the locked bootloader will only load kernels signed by Motorola.) It is a little worse because Milestone has a sister model with almost identical hardware (Motorola Droid) with official CM support; the closest model to MT4GS with official CM support is MT4G, which is still substantially different.

As I claimed, I'm likely to be wrong. But, care to explain a little bit? I'm not a native speaker and I don't quite get the simile.
Also, I'm curious about where I can find out whether HTC has released, for any certain model, the code necessary to build a kernel. Please share some links.

not until official ics and we will have cm9. I am sure slayher will be working on cm9 for t989 so we can just flash that with our cm9 kernel.
Since one of the major hurdles for porting CM9 to our and other devices is the closed source nature of certain drivers and the fact ICS hasn't been ported to our chipset, we will have to wait until an official build is released that contains the same or similar hardware. Touchpad CM9 is dealing with the same issue for camera and hardware video accel. at the moment.
ya kinda guessed that. i know xboarder and some other devs are working on just getting ics on the thing. i might be able to get a cm7 or aosp gingerbread kernal goin but i will have to see how busy i am. just wanted to see if anyone had any "insider info"
i will be working on evervolv (aosp ics with a few tweaks)
Well we Da_G has cm7 Kernel and its really good ppl at t989 uses his kernel too. Since we don't have full source for cm7 its has couple bugs!!!!

here is a quote from the man himself
Currently, you can compile CM9 for a small number of devices- notably the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi and T-Mobile versions), the HP Touchpad and Motorola Xoom. The next devices to show up will likely be a whole array of Samsung phones (Exynos chipset), with devices based on the Qualcomm MSM8660 and 7×30 chipsets to follow.

Been working on that one for a month I see
So yesterday the Sensation had its kernel source code released by HTC. Feels like our device is the only one left out now.
This news makes me feel a bit jealous, and should give us even more reason to spam T-Mobile / HTC till they at the very least leak a beta version of our devices ICS kernel source code.

We might be able to port the drivers from the Sensation's ICS to the MT4GS since a lot of the phones are the same.

This was awesome news to find on my few minutes for a smoke break - we can definitely use a lot of it to update our new kernel source for better ICS compatibility.
Even though we get left out of a lot directly, much of the sensation stuff is close to plug and play, so my self-imposed gingerbread limitation probably should be re-evaluated.
Thanks for passing the news on, can't wait to get some dev time again!

This pertains specifically to the recent LG release of ICS (with the NVIDIA accelerated hardware drivers) for the SU660 (Korean version of the Optimus 2X) and the lack of developer interest in porting it to the P990 and P999 versions of the same phone.

My OP is not a criticism of developers.
Many have "moved on" from the Optimus 2X/G2X.
Because of "agro" from LG and NVIDIA .
Will LG and NVIDIA ever learn.

Steve Balmer's developer rant is a symptom of what's wrong with Microsoft. Good video.
I would be willing to help out in a few months! I have a couple of projects going on right now though, and I would need to find a dirt cheap phone or someone to donate an older one.
If anyones got a project going on PM me and ill help you out if you need it. I'm really great with theming and debugging.
I guess they'll be back when the source code drops!
