Lack of dev support for Desire S

Just wanted to know people's opinions of the lack of aosp dev support for this phone.
I don't want to take anything away from the Dev's that have ported from other devices but i'd like an AOSP Rom that is developed specifically for the Desire S :/

Yes, there seems to be lack of dev support here compared o all the other HTC devices..
What I would really like is if we could have Android Revolution HD ROMs, and LeeDroid ROMs (there are great ports now from dhd)
But I would prefer support from the devs themselves

Currently there are multiple rom within this single thread in development, I'm hoping that they are all split at done point other wise it will be difficult to follow

Not as bad as an absolute lack of support.
The Kyocera Echo doesn't even have a recovery, stock or custom. We had root until 2.3.4 took it away.
Now we have nothing.
Should 2.3.4 be anything to be happy about without root? :|

It's been less than a month since Alpharev released their S-off, and an AOSP take so much more work than just copying a Sense rom and adding your own tweaks. Hydrogen Saga is the most stable AOSP I can find, andthis is also ported.
In time custom AOSP's built from the bottom up will come. I love not having any Sense.

I think it comes down to a quality issue. I never used a Cyanogen rom on the original Desire that didn't have a bug that wasn't already reported on the changelog. Not even a nightly.
Roms for the Desire S at the moment are coming with little Quality Control. We are the testers!

I think that the Android Revolution HD for DS maybe in the pipeline, or in the finish build.

I don't think there's anything useful left to take from the desire HD forums. But I would like to see a fully functioning oxygen rom. Or devnull. Whatever works
But I'm pretty sure the only problem with that is the desire's different hardware

looks nice.. but its for sensation. so it will need alot of resizing, and wont be as smooth as its built for dual core...
we havent had asensation port yet
omo, we should stick with dhd ports cause the hardware is very similiar

Virtuous Unity is a pyramid port, May be like that a sensation port can be possible
Needs a lot of hard work..Lets see when VU going to release sense 3.5 ROM, who knows it may be sensation base

New To Sensation Development So...

Hey guys I just picked myself up a Sensation 4G (Not new to Android Dev.) so I was thinking about creating,my own custom rom but wasn't sure what the Sensation guys like in their roms. I came from the Huawei u8150 were getting CM9 to run without a gpu was a move from the lord. So far I have tried Stock, Insert Coin, and Android Revolution roms all were great but I like a little cyanogenmod in my life. Would you guys like a new CM9 build crossed with a few tweaks of mean and fixes I find. Is so vote for it. Also reply with what you, look for in a rom.

C'Mon Guys I need feedback
At least vote, i would prefer comments but 1 peanut is better than no peanuts

I will start the rom today and if all goes well, I can have an early release out by Saturday. At first it will probably be stock cm9 with a few tweaks but then I will see what I can do about theming.

A CM9 ROM will be awesome. Are you going to try to get it working by yourself? You could get together with the open sensation project guys and make more progress that way. Just a thought
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Welcome to the Sensation boards, and thanks for asking for input. I'm not a sense hater by any means, but I ALWAYS go back to AOSP roms. CM9 and Open Sensation are compiled nicely, but for some reason make my phone heat.
So, any build compiled from source would be welcomed. Each phone is different, hopefully your build keeps mah phone cool.

AOSP ROM with a Sense Camera would be loved by many, I am sure.

Yea I thought about speaking to them about it but I figured since I am newer to the phone I could try to mess with it a little myself before I go messing with other peoples work.

There seems to be a good number of sense roms and cm9 roms out there... why not try something kinda out there?
like a port of an xperia rom (I think Xperia S has the same chipset) or samsung's? (I know there's an xperia-ish rom out there but i think it's just aokp with xperia mods and I think that Sony's UIX is pretty good and not bloaty).
just thinking out there... porting something like that might be too much.

i have already begun working on rom but i'll keep it in mind. thanks for the idea

He already released his rom? where is it as I cannot find it in the development section

I haven't had the time to make a thread for it I'm sorry. I've been taking finals and will be through next week. Though I will not stop working on roms. For now you can find the Rom in Rom manager. I try to post here when I get home

Short answer: no. Not now anyways.
...maybe if HTC releases an update for the One S. Porting from another phone than the One S would be a hell of a lot of resizing, as the One S is the only other HTC phone with an qhd screen.

One S with S3 processor (Ville C2) has already been updated, hasn't it?
That ROM is made for Ville C2 and has Android 4.1.1/Sense 4+ :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910738
So, why would it be impossible to port on Sensation?
Edit : Thise one too :

I could be wrong, but I don't think it could boot on Sensation with our current modded kernels.
I think we're waiting for kernel source from the Ville c2?

Sense JB requires ION support from the kernel, and our kernel source doesn't have ION support.

OK, so you're meaning that RUU is needed (for kernel source) so devs can port it on Sensation (by modding kernel), right?

see, porting process needs the kernel source, which is NOT RELEASED INDIVIDUALLY BY HTC YET. (I mean the One S kernel source of android 4.1 that's why. unfortunately devs ain't able to get a kernel source inspired like a divine! :laugh:

one s villec2 kernel source is released of jelly bean

Attention kernel devs: 3.4.10

HTC just uploaded the Ville_C2 jelly bean kernel sources. For those that don't already know it is the One S with the sensations processor in it, the msm8x60.
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/villec2-jb-crc-3.4.10-055bd56.zip
My repo is https://github.com/XirXes/pyramid-3.4.10
I don't have it compiling yet but it's quite the start. After we resolve any compile errors we need to port over the touch panel driver and our display.

Let the porting begin.
BTW lik doesn't work.

Then just go to HTC dev and grab the One S source for 3.17.401.102. It will have villec2 in the filename.

so，JB with sense4.5 for sensation will come soon，cheers

Actually that's jb with sense 4.5 not 5. 5 won't come until the ville gets sense 5

I'm pretty sure that even with the same processor, kernel source for another device is quite useless to us.
If I'm wrong someone with kernel dev'ing experience please tell me so!
EDIT: Even if I am wrong, my nexus 7 is only at 3.1.10, officially and on every custom kernel. I find it hard to believe 3.4.10 could get ported to the sensation without a very, very substantial amount of work and hackery.

Is this true?

Porting 3.4.10 code for the VilleC2 to the Sensation is very possible. The only reason why it's possible is because the Sensation and the VilleC2 have the same chipset. I've even built a kernel for the Sensation using VilleC2 source and it booted.

pretty cool. i tryed changing a bunch or refernces around from ville to pyramid but got a compile error pretty quick lol. someone else needs to do this heh

Has anyone identified if this version still uses pmem? Wouldn't it be wonderful if Qualcomm / HTC got ion together for us?!
Hey, a boy can dream...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 2

This definitely has ion. The 4.0.4 sources for the villec2 had it aswell. Also as a bonus this kernel may score us powered OTG. The stuff has always been there but was dissabled in the source due to hardware concerns. It doesn't require the charging chip we discussed in the otg thread. The 8660 has the ability on chip.

It's a Jelly Bean kernel so it HAS to use ION.

if this can work in both devices, i am unable to know why HTC can't release for Sensation? This is an open abuse to customers like us for using old phone!
