I came across this site. http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/02/htc-sensation-puts-on-a-white-ice-coat-to-match-its-ice-cream-sa/
and it seems like the sensation will have an OTA update to ICS with sense 4.0. So, does that means that we will have a custom ROM base on that ROM? That will be awesome. Discuss.
UPDATE: ok, now I have a few questions for the developer. Since there are already so many ROMs on ICS with sense 3.6, but why there are non for our desire s ? Take a look at this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419278... there are more at sensation forum. Is it because of the drivers or hardware related? I'm not quite familiar with all these developing stuffs, so maybe the experts out there would enlighten to me? Thanks.
Firstly I am no developer but I think I can say some things about what you said. Yes it is hardware related like all linux based OS android has a kernel and the kernel is mostly written for a device specific hardware. And sensation and saga in that respect is no match so no part of it could be used in ours. And also there might be a need of lot kernel tweaks and for that rom to work. The derivative of sensation , sensation xl in retrospect is whole lot similar to our device so if a leaked rom is released for that one then I am sure devs will be able to do the things you wished. On top of kernel device specific hardware driver and all that the sense version as always by htc is a very special one as i understand cause its a whole lot different than any other rom. Looking through posts you might have seen sense kernels and aosp ones are different. So in the end to port that rom it will need a kernel drivers and all plus the effort to crack the sense overlay that htc slaps on anything too...
It might be not possible my heart strongly wishes for an ICS official rom as that would ease up a lot of things.
The HTC Desire S has a different screen, so the one leaked sense 3.6 (4.0) could only be ported to devices sporting the same screen. Be patient, HTC anounced that the Desire S will get ICS with Sense l8er in 2012. I'm sure the XDAdevs will be faster though....
Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!
Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always
Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl
Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.
+1 for Endymion 3.4,
+1 for Endymion

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.
Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..
Btw: endy!...

Hello respected Developers ,
Jelly Bean is released today with some new and important features. Nexus ROM is already available for download. Since Jelly Bean brings updated UI and few new features only it may be possible to port Nexus ROM.
Kindly consider its possibility and reply
Thank you all !
Here is direct download link

Hmm...so I was right. It can be ported.
Jelly Bean ported to HTC One X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737736
I hope so.
I'm not a Developer, but I hope so :good:
nothing will be done until the source code is released (google said mid july)
Guys, chill. It is best we wait until ics is fully developed with the kernel 3.x before we talk about this. I am sure that this needs ICS as base. I have been researching about this jellybean update the whole day. it is somewhat a small update to the ICS with automatic widget resizing, GoogleVoice (commandable just like siri) and also less lag... this is just like a froyo to gingerbread update as they said in vid reviews.
now our future is on the 3.X kernel:good:
Hi
Did anyone noticed that kernel for jelly bean port on HTC one x.
It is 2.6.xxx

Thread moved and cleaned. Development section is only for roms/kernels, etc. being worked on with some kind of bootable image. This is not. (First hint was the title ends in a question mark)
Keep it polite guys.

I'm not a developer and i don't know how to port a ROM. However, I think porting an I9000 Jellybean Rom will be easier since I9000 and I9003 has similar specs.:laugh:

i9003 will follow, once kernel 3.0 + ics is completely ported and good for day-to-day basis ^^
Everytime it happens that when we work on perticular version of cynogenmod then suddenly new version of galaxy device releases or new version of android releases then current development looks old to us. So we leave it in incomplete stage & we move forward to achieve new things of new cynogenmod but again everytime same story repeats & thats why we have so many incomplete cyanogenmod roms.
I want to suggest that if the developers are working on ICS cm9 then they must work on first to achieve kernel 3.0 & get stable cm9. People now should not rush to achieve JB leaving behing cm9 work incomplete. "One time one task"

Source code of jelly bean is of no use for us until we get kernel 3.0. Because building jelly bean rom or cm10 based on 2.x kernel is again a waste of time & again one more incomplete rom

You're right on that one bro.
Regarding porting Jelly Bean, it's another challenge for our great developers. And it is possible since it has already started coming on many devices. Another point is that JB does not introduce System level changes like ICS but a major update over it. So JB should easier than ICS.
Regarding Incomplete ROMs, each and every developer has his own set of skills and can't do what other can do and we must respect this. What dhiru can do is not necessarily doable by others too. But this should not come as deterrent for some quality work like MIUI and AOKP. If we would have kept waiting for 'Perfect and Complete' ICS then we would never have these great ROMs. These guys are working within known limitations and doing a great job. So i would always encourage new challenges, innovations, ideas, development and ROMs. We again might have many things not working on JB Ports but that's what fuel the developers to take up challenge and win it. Remember the first ICS and MIUI Ports ? And look today Thankfully Lolation, Frank, UT36104, Vurrut did not get discouraged by current limitations and went on to port these great ROMs and fix bugs. Thank You guys
Take every new thing as a challenge and give your best with whatever you have in hand instead of crying of what's not there or what will come someday
Good Day guys

I completely agree. People learn by doing hands on, and what I mean is building roms. Discouraging them just because you want them to complete a rom is very selfish, everybody has to start somewhere. Not everybody has sufficient knowledge in android programming to help with completing roms, i believe people feel a sense of accomplishment after building their first rom, only to be struck down by others that want a complete rom. I just want to say guys, don't discourage new roms please, think about other people's feelings. Thanks.

Its not about discouraging new rom development. Its about how well we concentrate on each thing to complete it. I am not saying that we should stuck to only one perticular rom development. But remember guys that google will not take a pause for us so that we can complete current cynogenmod rom. New versions of android will contineously come out by google but we must have to think whether we should run behind new roms or should we first build a base kernel 3.x without which every future development will remain incomplete...???
Since I am a newbe I can't post in the dev fourms so I will ask my question here. I sucessfully installed [DEV][CRACKFLASHERS] 4.1 Jelly Bean JRN84D (Gnex)/ JRN84C (SDK) with the WIFI update-crespo-JRN83C-preview-2012063001 but no audio is there a workaround a driver perhaps anything, I like this rom it's super fast on my Nexus S
Chris
This wouldn't belong in development anyway (starting new threads in development is for DEVS ONLY) so it's good you couldn't post there.
If you want everything working you should stay away from SDK ports. It's not what you want to hear but it's the truth. There is no source code to work from so they are often very wonky.
No, there is no audio. You have installed the latest port.
There will not be any audio fix for the port. We will have to wait for the Update from Google.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
You should have read and asked around before flashing this ROM, as the previous users said and I would like to re-inforce this; SDK ROMs lack a lot of things and are not stable at all. They are not recommended, and they are basically good for previews and stuffing around.
If you really want the new Jelly Bean 4.1, then just wait a week or 2 and a stable version will come out, a custom ROM too.
If you want to revert back to a Custom ROM for now I suggest you use AOKP. It's very stable, reliable and easy to use. Make sure you don't flash a Stock ROM as this can cause problems.
Cheers
From what ive seen there is not audio yet. Devs are working hard to get it out and i appreciate it very much. :laugh:
Any suggestions on Jellybean ROMs? I'm currently running Jellytime 4.2.2 R11.
What have your experiences with other Jellybean ROMs been?
Jellytime isn't being updated that often and I'm hoping to get Jellybean 4.3 on my phone as soon as possible.
Any ROMs that seem to be updated often?

I am truly sorry, but we do not condone threads like this.
You are very new to the thread and clearly have not even had the chance to look through and decide for yourself.
You will get hit with many different answers from people that think the one they use is the best. This can lead to problems for you, as your idea of best can vary from others idea best.
Please take the time to try different roms out for yourself, you can then make the choice on your own.
Thank you
