What things would be considered or not as android dev?

ROM compiling/making, is that one?

Yes, and no.

I think so, anyone that makes/develops an Android rom should be considered an Android developer.
I wouldn't say just compiling the rom would make them an Android developer because building it really only requires you to type a few commands into the command line.

i'm torn on that one too does it matter how you're called?

Dual Boot , is it possible?

This may be a dumb question, but I thought it would be really cool if it was possible. Would it be possible to dual-boot between a sense ROM and a CM10 ROM with perhaps a script using script manager or TWRP recovery and to fit both ROMs on the system partition would it be possible to combine\collapse certain files that are identical on both of the ROMs? Or is that they completely absurd and ridiculous question?
P.S. I am a horrible speller.

I'm sure its possible... but I think it would be a pain in the butt for the deva

Just not supported for the One X because no S-off. :crying:

Not currently available on our phone, the closest you're going to come is storing any cross-ROM data on your SD card partition and flashing between the backups of two ROMs. Personally I believe that devs should focus on their ROMs becoming so polished that you won't need to dual boot
What benefits were you looking to get out of running two separate ROMs?

Cm10+ sense camera would be awesome.

That would never work as the sense camera needs a sense Rom.

Benefit of Dual Boot

It's a very practical way of testing new roms and rom updates on a second partition, while maintaining a stable rom on the first partition as your "daily driver".

Hi, I have been using bootmanager on my last 2 HTC phones (dhd and sensation) and its great. I used it to test out loads of different Roms and also had a work based Rom (with mandatory extra software etc) and my own for the rest of the time.
I recently upgraded to the one x and was gutted to find that it was not supported. I am lucky enough to have an s-off version so tried a manual setup but it fails at the first hurdle when setting up phone Rom.
The devs seem to be having some time off and their support mail quota is blown so have not managed to ask them. Shame as they used to be great with support.
If the bootmanager devs or anyone cleverer than I has any ideas let me know otherwise I will report back if I ever get it to work.
Cheers

I'd be interested if you ever get it to work let us know. This forum is for the dual core version know as the htc one xl not sure you have this version or the quad core international version.

Will do. Its the international version quad core, this seemed the closest discussion on this topic.

"preparing sim card"

I've successfully ported a rom to my phone but theres no network and it keeps saying 'preparing sim card'. What did i do wrong?

Really? You're gonna have to provide more information than that. That's like asking: I put a new engine in my car and now it's smoking, what did I do wrong?

Its the XL. I'm just trying out something.

Well if you started with that Rom take a few step back because it was working so I'm gonna guess something you changed broke something in the Rom.

[Q] HTC One M8 porting? (:

Figured this had to be asked soon. Any devs have any insight as to who or when we'll be working on a port for the new Sense 6 firmware? Looks preeeetty nice.

The hardware is dramatically different. I would say this is not going to happen

A few of us are trying but the kernel is the biggest pain, especially since most of old kernel devs are gone

Don't get me wrong, I love a good challenge but porting the m8 kernel to this phone is suicidal

Well they have to start with that to get it booting. The only problem is if the kernel boots, one would have to address that nothing else works lol

What about using a m7 Rom, that has sense 6?

It's the same situation as with the M8, the M7 has completely different chipsets and screen resolution making it virtually impossible.

Kinda doesn't matter on chipsets. You just need a kernel that boots 4.3 - 4.4.2 ... For example I port roms from the m7 to the DNA , DLXPUL, and butterfly. Because they all have a kernel that works. And all those devices have different chipsets..... And no resolution doesn't matter either, yes some apps will need to be resized which you can do by editing the dimensions.xml in each app..but sense 5 and up supports hdpi-xxhdpi on most of its applications

If evo source has dropped for 4.3 then all a kernel dev needs to do is see what's the difference 4.3 and 4.2.2 .. I'd look at defconfig between them... Cause 4.3 is still jellybean. I seen you have a kernel dev here.. ask @Zarboz how to do it. He's the genius on porting kernels

zarboz is not free ths days i guess... No news of him... Or else we would be having sense 6 by now... He himself said about bringing it to our device...

I dont think this is possible, I would stick to Jelly bean and sense 4+ or 5 for a great performance-battery life

Well I'm working on it and it's going okay I suppose. Me and an amazing kernel dev are making progress. Lots of logcats.
Of course, older versions of softwares are always less buggy because of the amount of time taken to refine them.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

Nothing is impossible.
the kernel is very important to port a rom .like sensation run 4.1.2 sense5 or droid dna run 4.4.2 sense6

Well I don't know its possible....only time will tell but for now I can just appreciate efforts of the guy above....this device is so special just because of dev like this

Based on what? Of course its possible. The real question is how feasible it is based on how much work needs to be done, versus the desire by the right folks to do that work.
