[Q] How to port Sensation ROMs to the MT4GS - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Hello, I have seen some ports from the Sensation forums and I was wondering if someone would be willing to create a guide on how to port them over. I know that the basics would be a kernel that would work and the keylayout file would also have to be modded. But thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help

I believe tbalden and xmc would know this best. Have you PMed them?

Hi. Just wondering ... did you make any progress with this? I am very intertested inthis topic if it is not too difficult? Cheers.

Omg. This would be so good if we could port all the roms the sensation has over to the Mt4gs

Maybe just the really great ones would be OK. You really wouldn't want ROMs to start becoming generic replications of one another though. The process of learning to actually develope would start morphing into the ability to port someone else's work quickly. JMO tho....

The dsixda kitchen will do a basic Sensation ruu port. But your going to have to resize the HTC widgets and Rosie to like 0.88xxx or something like that, its been a while since I've ran m10 editor and I've never used VTS because I have Linux so that's all I know to offer

[Q] Sense 4.0

i read on the rootzwiki forum for sensation that they successfully ported the Endeaver rom. Anyway we could get that ported to the MT4GS?

Anything is possible, and if it was done for the sensation then there is a high chance it can be done for our device as well, since they are very similar.
Just takes someone to sit down and put time into making it happen.
I realize that you are making a request, but also that you are asking a question - so there's the answer to the question half - now it's just down to someone filling the request or you learning how to do it
i wouldnt even know where to begin...lol
Try with Dsixda's ROM kitchen.

Interesting, hopefully that can be resolved. It was a very valuable tool for speeding up dev times.

It might be buggy right now but would be nice to get in early instead of grandfathered into a badass project.....tired of being the lost child in big dev.......would be nice to get a great dev to join their team to make this happen sooner than later....from the pics i have seen of sense 4.0 is is bad ass...not a lot of changes but much cleaner...

its the design you like? grab the pngs and compile a theme probably. easier than porting a full rom.especially something so buggy...

We definitely need people to work on themes for this device - I personally am not fond of graphics work, but went ahead and made 3 tutorials on how to work with the majority of the graphics on the device that are stickied in the 'Themes & Apps' section of the doubleshot forums. They are laid out in order of progression.
The only thing someone has to do is figure out how to actually wrap it up into a theme's package that can be installed and recognized by the device. Hopefully there will be interest in this.

I bet it's all the same for most of the ROMs with same sense version and resolution. Best bet is to grab the given ROMs original apks for themes, like Burgundy.apk etc in the given ROM, and start modding that, decompile, change images, compile, sign...the usual stuff.

Possible with alot of work the problem is the Endeavor uses a bigger screen. I'm using a MIUI Port from the Sensation with the same issue then you have the issue of the keyboard.

[REQUEST]Help Needed For Miui V4 Port

Hey guys, jomeister here with a request for some dev help with porting Miuiv4 to our phones. I figure now that the ICS drivers has been released, and with my AOSP rom being updated soon, we might as well get down to business with some ICS Miui.
So far, I've been looking at this page here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411
And trying to use a phone with the msm8660 processor to port off, the evo 3d
here ------> http://www.goodandevo.net/2012/02/u...d.html?cid=6a00d83451c9ec69e2016301cbfba1970d.
So.... yeah, if you're willing to help me with this, please leave a comment so we can get started on some Miui goodness.
iandroidos I'm looking at you.
Hmmm I'll do a blind port with a few help from other friends of mine MIUI v4 will be simple since its minimal for now but not really simple.

As I'm reading the instructions, I'm starting to doubt more and more if this will work or not. The Evo 3D is a very different device... Not to mention that it's HTC, and not Samsung.
I'm downloading the Evo3D rom right now anyways. Going to try this.

Well, really the only difference between Miui and AOSP is the system/framework, some system/apps, and some other random files that aren't really that critical to the system. The Evo 3D actually not that different from our Skyrocket; they both have the same msm8660 chip.
Yeah... but still a very slim chance that it'll work.
I tried it, and as expected: softbrick

Hey guys any chance we would be getting at least an alpha of this soon? Just wondering cause of the new unofficial cm9 build that was released yesterday

We've been trying and so far, from what I know, we fixed surfaceflinger in the CM9 base but AtCmdFwd won't start. I believe it is because of libhardware_legacy.so

Word on CM 9/10 on the MyTouch 4G

Ciwrl (Abhisek Devkota) is a CyanogenMod Head Moderator, & part of the community staff
He replied to my comment on Google+ about CM9/CM10 not being on the MyTouch 4G yet, and gave a clear reply saying that its in the works
"Moe Nasrallah
CyanogenMod... Please start supporting the MyTouch 4G with newer releases :/ .. The most we got from you is CM7.2. We'd love to get our hands on CM9, or surprise us with CM10 builds. There are devices with lower specs than ours that got CM9, and I don't know why our device's community got ditched like that :c
Abhisek Devkota
+Moe Nasrallah you and the vision are in the same boat: broken OMX (which we can rewrite relatively quickly) and broken camera drivers(which we have to rewrite completely).
Until we rewrite the camera drivers (which is in progress), we won't release a 9/10 build. No one is 'ditching' anybody, things just take time.
-ciwrl (Disclosure, I am a vision owner)
Moe Nasrallah
+Abhisek Devkota thanks for the clarification  "

This is absolutely great news! I was sure we'd never get official CM9 or CM10

Awesome! But if I remember correctly, didn't we get cm7 rather late as well compared to other devices? So we probably will be getting cm10 late. Forget cm9, I want cm10!

Porting that rom will be awesome. :fingers-crossed: And yeah, Cnote is a boss at porting. God knows how many roms he has ported so far for this device

Btw, the problems with the ROM is no superuser. Go got andoidsu.com/superuser/ and download 3.2-RC2 and the binary. Choose the ARM version
Edit: I know the HTC Vision section will have one tomorrow, according to one dev. If that one does have trackpad working and all the other stuff, hope someone can port it. Idk if I can, not experienced enough

[Q] backport gingerbread?

OK don't flame me for being a noon about this but would it be possible to port gingerbread to the one s? Maybe like cm7.1? I know this sounds really dumb and alot of people are probably going to be like "why would you want gingerbread? Its old and outdated" but some of the best custom ROMs I've ran were based on GB and i would like to attempt porting them but have no GB base, so my real question is does anybody think its possible?

Possible? Of course it is, its open source.

HTC Evo 4g and Shift Roms

Will Evo 4g roms work on Evo shift 4g? Just asking, not actually going to try. See I was guessing because the only physical difference is the keyboard, would this mean it would work. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
No, that's a completely different phone.
Take a look in the dev section for the rooms that are available.

The best thing you can do for yourself, and the safety of your device is read. Then read some more. Then when you are done read some more. Knowledge is the only thing standing between you, and a paperweight. As to what Rom is best. That is a question that has no definitive answer. There are many variables. The greatest one being the user of the device. I would suggest learning the flashing, and Nandroid processes to a " T " . It will save you a lot of time, and headaches. It will also help you find what is best suited to your needs for a daily driver Rom.

Also, if you find a ROM you'd like to try but the links are broken, you can post in the thread asking if someone can mirror a link. Most of the time the answer is yes.
