[DISCUSSION]What's still missing for our little device? - HTC Pico (Explorer)

After seeing the Development for our phone i thought lets take a look what is still missing so here is some things i felt that are missing...
1.CWM Touch recovery 5.5.0.4(Only Manual recovery 6.x.x.x by Sarthak Acharya)
2.TWRP 2.3(Currently we have 2.2.2.1 by cute_prince and oblikas both have their own builds)
3.CM7.2 fully Fixed with cam(I know its old but alot of customisation can be done with it more then ICS and JB)
4.A proper P.A.C rom from source build(Ported rom are alot buggy)
5.Oxygen(GB/ICS/JB) & CNA(ICS/JB) rom from source build(GB not sure for Oxygen)
7.CyanmobileX 2.3.8 and GingerDX types rom build from source
8.S-OFF most important to flash HBoot
9.Overclock(I know many people wont support it but hey people like me need it 600Mhz isnt enough)
10.Sense 2.1(I know OLD but it looks classic than our sense 3.5)
Have suggestions..?? dont waste time say it....

Nothing missing but we still have to work alot on the current ROMs like CM9/10 , AOKP, MIUI , Sense 4. Coz theres still alot of work left on these ROMs, as the newer version of Android comes the development of older versions is left behind so if it goes on like this we will never get any stable ROM but many ported buggy ROMs.

I just think it is amazing all the great development that is taking place. I originally thought it would be great if I could get ICS when HTC said it was not possible, now it looks like I will get a fully stable JB shortly and maybe even Sense 4. Deferas' build is almost unbelievable - he is a genius. I wish someone from HTC would help him unofficially. They know what he needs and could help him easily.

[DEV ONLY] New Full GingerBread ROM Build 4

Hi Everybody! Found a GingerBread Rom on Evo 4g and thought we should work on getting this on the desire as well. Here is the original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863526
THIS ROM IS USELESS AT THE MOMENT DO NOT FLASH UNLESS YOU PLAN ON DEVELOPING AND REMEMBER THIS IS FOR EVO MUST BE PORTED TO DESIRE FIRST
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/CW0ZLRM3RS
What does work:
Boots
touchscreen
fixed bottom buttons
fixed sdcard
fixed usb
Fixed data (thanks incdoes for some help with this)
Fixed roaming
fixed haptic
fix force phone close
What doesnt work:
Almost everything
Credits to everybody who has made this posible and specialy to Echoside who has done most of the work.
We already have "GingerNinja"?
Sry but isn't this even buggier than Adams release?
EDIT: I never installed this one. It was just, it sounded buggier.
As said in the first post, you can't flash it on the desire as it hasn't been ported.
So far AdamG is currently the only Dev who's released a Gingerbread ROM that you're able to flash for the Desire.

Managed to port some of the framework, nothing close to a release yet, maybe someone can do the job faster then myself?
No point of getting another sdk port to work on desire, it will NEVER run smooth or work well.
We have to wait for the AOSP to be released.
thank you any way mate....
Well, it's worth a try, thanks for it mate.

Your help is appreciated...

Guys finally I have enough knowledge to start developing...at least gonna try...
So,
I wanna develope a CM based ROM...
So anyone will help me?..
like teaching some things, or sharing their resources (kernel or theme etc..)
I have already started working....
As for cm based roms, you actually can't do much (since its a custom rom by itself)...
So for starters, select a suitable base cm, and just try changing the ui, experiment with tweaks and scripts, find better combinations for good performance...etc...
More than enough to keep you busy for atleast a week...

Nice answer...but I'm going to port some things and will build my own CM...
and sir any OC kernel for CM?
best scenario would be if you download source code & compile...
we really need an aosp rom

I thought you wanted to make a rom on cm, but you actually want to make cm!

Right now no aosp...Just made one ROM..
Actually ported and then modified and tweaked...But cherry on the cake was its running so smooth and faster that cant wait to release it...
Just one thing needed...
an OC kernel....

[ROM][06-02-13][Flinny] Andromadus - CM10[133]

Andromadus - Test Builds
To start with here you will find test versions of ROMs built by me from the Andromadus github repo http://github.com/Andromadus, think of them along the same concept as nightly builds just not every night These are development ROM's, if you want to run bleeding edge development ROM's and at least know how to use adb and logcat then you might find something of interest here. If you require something that works 100% of the time all of the time then this might not be for you. That said you can always give it a try and if it doesn't work restore your previous nandroid backup!
What IS Andromadus?
Initially it was a group of people who got together to make ICS work on the HTC Desire Z because nobody else seemed to want to support devices with physical hardware keyboards/trackpads. Whilst the idea stays the same It has grown slightly to support some other hardware and some of the work we have done is now used in many other devices. Andromadus builds of CM10 or CM10.1 are basically CM sources with a few additional tweaks or additions to support our phones.
1. New versions will be added as and when I feel there are enough changes to warrant one, don’t ask when the next version is coming.
2. If we decide to release a "Stable" version of these roms they will be published in another Andromadus thread.
Direct all your queries with release versions to that thread and in the same vain do not discuss these releases anywhere but here.
3. I will do as best I can to answer questions but if you don't get an answer from me I'm sure somebody else will be along to help. Help each other and I have more time to spend fixing things!
4. Don't ask for what's changed since the previous version, have a look at the recent submits on the Andromadus github if you want to know or wait for the mini changelogs when I post a new release.
5. If there is something in particular to test it'll be mentioned!
6. As always if you didn't wipe between installations then at least verify that the problem exists on a clean install before posting here. Nandroid/superwipe/install/check at the end of the day you can always restore your nandroid if the problem is reproducible on a clean installation. If you can't be bothered to try this then I really can't be bothered to try to help you :>
7. All that said ensure you make a nandroid/backup before hand. I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone with these ROM.
8. Whilst I can't stop you I would rather these builds were not used as a base for any ROM/MOD/ETC. The source is all available if you want to do your own builds with which you can do whatever you like.
9. Tell us what works/what's worse/what's better but don't ***** when something breaks or isn't fixed yet, report it and move on.
10. Sometimes people forget that we do this for fun, for ourselves, and sometimes your super important issue is way down on our personal list of things to be fixed.
If you ignore any of the above you will in turn be ignored.
Now that's all out of the way as always have fun
As usual you need to flash the ROM then GAPPS.
Checkout http://andromadus.flinny.org for links/files/previous changelog's
This a team/community effort, I'll not list everyone who has helped along the way here that list is in the beta thread but I will say thanks to all of them again and obviously anyone that has been missed.
Current Version changelog
CM10 build 133
There was an issue with the backup tool in the last build that will break gapps and your account's etc when flashing this build, the solution is to re-flash gapps at the same time as the rom and you should be fine. This build should fix it so that the next build will work as it should
Changes.
Synced with CM - Again not many changes upstream.
Basically everything relevant to our phones up to the 4th of February in the following has been merged

Couple of General Questions about ROMS

Okay last couple of questions, than I need a break :fingers-crossed:
1-Once I "Flash" a ROM, do I need to keep the .ZIP file on my phone assuming I have backed up my current ROM. They don't take up a ton of room but I don't like keeping a ton of stuff on my phone. It is nice to have it case I don't have the backup.
2-There are hundreds of different ROMS out there.....
I currently have ViperXL which seems awesome....
Some ROMS seem really stripped down.....
IS that what it comes down to in ROMS....Asthetics? The look and feel?
3-Now that I have a rooted phone....that I can update constantly (Jellybean etc) how far will this current model go (2 more major updates....Keylime etc)
Thanks for all of the help along the way!!!
Once you flash you can delete the zip
Everyone has their personal opinions about Rom you could love viper but someone could not like it and prefer hatka/clean Rom or cm
If we don't get the key lime pie kernel for the one xl it'd be heard porting HTC roms over due to lack of kernel but aosp will probably do well... We can portsense 5 here

Hmmm.Newbie here!!!
Does that mean there will be an easy fix for Key Lime Pie? A ROM will most likely be developed?
I hear a lot of talk about Kernels but that seems too much for me to grasp....:laugh:
I was under the impression that once I rooted my phone, I could always flash a ROM to keep it current with the most up to date version of Android.
Is that not the case?

Without kernel source that's a bit hard to do sometimes and HTC doesn't have the best reputation

So HTC will need to release the "Kernel" (Some Source Code) I assume.....
From there, People will Develop ROMS based on that.......?
Without that is this phone is dead in the water as far as updates are concerned?
Just think of this...the kernel contains all the proper WiFi libs and camera libs and a lot of other things...without the proper kernel wed have to hack things which can take a while and produce worse results...the Rom is not based off kernel it's based off the Rom... Than they build from their if it's aosp they build from source and port over if it's sense they do the base and build off that

but what is Aosp??
Hopefully the fine folks on this forum will work their magic for complete noobs like me....I would hate to not keep up with the times :fingers-crossed:
It was a headache for me just to get it rooted and ViperXL installed =)
We will get aosp keylime roms for sure. We have an awesome dev community. We probably won't get a keylime sense Rom because HTC most likely won't develop one for this phone. But aosp (android open source project) which is the os written by Google for their nexus devices that the oems take and make their own version (sense, touchwiz, etc) should always get updated

Glad to hear my HTC One X will stay current for some time.....
I hate buying a new phone every other year to stay current with Software etc!!!

1) You can just delete it. I usually save on my computer for a while, just in case I want to move it back on the phone to re-flash, in emergencies, etc. I usually try to have either (but not both) a nandroid or the ROM zip on the phone, just in case.
2) The differences are aesthetics, features, performance. The thread for each specific ROM will usually have a good description of the features. But you may need to learn some more of the lingo, before you really understand what they are talking about. Start looking through the threads, and you will start to figure out what the differences are, which ones you may like, what others like, etc. Then just choose a few, and flash away.
3) Completely depends on how long the device keeps developer interest, and whether HTC actively supports the device and (as mentioned) releases kernel source for the device for the given Android build.
For example, if HTC decides not to release KLP for the device, and doesn't release kernel source, it makes it really difficult for devs to make custom ROMs with all the hardware components working properly (cameras, Bluetooth, etc.). But its not impossible, and if some devs are still inspired, they may try to make things work as much as they have time for.

Why that is bad? In my opinion it is better, so everyone can use whatever he wants, that is the meaning of open source.
Ok it may not good too have x1000 cm10.1 roms and x1000 avatar roms (like in gb times), but having 1(or 2) of each rom type is quite good in my opinion.

OMGz, dey using exizting stuff!
Ok, seriously, this got sooooo childish over time. I really think nikez & the while team are doing an amazing job, fo' sure.
+ They are open source which is amazing.
So, why would anyone really rewrite the whole thing? Just to grow some imaginary balls? What would you do?
The only question is:
If they (Avatar & everyone who uses their sources) improve the existing stuff, do they also release the sources for everyone?
Have a nice day and please rethink your opinion about this and open source in general.
Sure they haven't mentioned Evervolv yet, but I hope they will edit OP soon and match the rules.
By the way, 99% of those you accuse of "kanging" don't even kang, so get your facts right.
Kanging implies that they use Evervolv code (in this case) and don't admit it.
(I don't even mention that they (EV) would be lost without CAF, Google, CM sources etc.)

HI op if you want the avatar theme to be the theme applied when Rom is booted for the very 1st time add this to build.prop
persist.sys.themePackageName=com.avatar.theme.Denim
Then the avatar theme will be loaded up by default every time the phone is booted up thanks x
---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------
Not carrying on the rant over here lol but Come on guy's the whole Rom is not evervolv's just because they ported the Rom DONT make every single app or code in the rom theirs. Yes they may have coded SOME things but NOT everything. So what if the OP used most of the current avatar rom he HAS THE RIGHT to because android is OPEN SOURCE. I am fed up with members on xda all they care about is THIS IS MINE NA NA NA NA NA get a grip of yourselve's are you really going to act like a child for a few codes and a few apps ???? My 2 year old daughter would laugh at you for acting more like a child than she is. Come on guy's developers should SHARE not argue and point the fingers at eachother. And if people didnt KANG or whatever the hell you want to call it then where would most of the rom's on xda be ????? Every developer os sense Rom's KANGED HTC do you see them coming on here chucking their dummy's out the pram ???? because i dont see them doing that. I think it is sad it has to come down to developers arguing like children over some damn files when they should be sticking together like a comunity should. This is why most good hearted developers LEAVE xda because the developers are selfish and act like children. That's all i have to say on the matter. Now i tend to my CHILD. Take care xxxx

I don't understand why everyone starts to accuse people of basing their rom on others' source. Isn't that the whole poing of open source and sourse sharing?
This way, google should accuse and sue every single developer for using the Android source.
So lets just enjoy this ROM, and appreciate that there are still people who work for this device.
Okay I tested this rom and I have to say it's fast but 2 bugs : There is no signal ( probably simcard not detected but not sure) , graphical glitches ( everywhere, not only in YouTube app, the screen kinda tears and acts weird, everyone should know what I mean) . I tested it for a while and that's the bugs I found. It's fast ROM but the glitches and other bugs make me to not use this ROM for now.
