Can we port Roms by this method. - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Take a sense 4.1 Rom from HTC one s.port it to desire hd then to one v then to desire c and finally to pico. This method may work as in the end we are porting from desire c.

Try it

But HTC Desire C doesn't have that good support for porting roms . So , this method won't work

Not A good Idea.........

I mean will the method work I can change devices I wish some one would try it cause I have only 300 mb left.

Honestly , no. You can port it directly to our device, and sense is not as easy to port as it sounds. This method is too complex. And Sense 4.1 has already booted for our phone. We should consider fixing that rather than trying to attempt a new port.

As akshat said it is not easy porting sense .... It is very complex... derefas also required a lot of efforts to port Sense 4

[DEV] Porting Desire C ROM To Aria !

Developers,
I have just found the HTC Desire C ROM,it feature Sense 4.0 !
Could some of you recode/recompile the lib file to Armv6, the processor of Desire C most likely same as HTC Explorer.
Come on guys, we have made it possible for HTC Explorer ROM in Aria!
Original HTC Desire C RUU:
http://hotfile.com/dl/156147909/f28994e/RUU_GOLF_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.08.98.09H_1.05.98.08M2_release_260338_signed.exe.html
YES! This is great, we should be able to get it done. Do you know if it has that image sense chip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
Edit: Ok, the processor is a Snapdragon MSM7225A S1 processor, the same one as the HTC Explorer. So ARMv7. Also comes with 25GB of free dropbox storage and beats audio (the same feature the one x debuted with). And from the promo vids on Youtube, the device does appear to have the new camera... im unsure if we could port that though.

Yes,it does has image sense chip.
but we need some developers to rewrite the lib file,because the file was compiled for ARMv7.
OK, so here's some threads we can look out for
Wildfire S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658056
Github: https://github.com/wfsdev/marvel-golf-port
HTC Hero: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655256
We have some problem here, the ROM is way to big,the system partition size is about 265mb but our aria just have 251mb.
We have too choice to choose, 1st removed some app ,2nd repartition the system partition and use A2SDX for data partition.
EDIT:It should be ok,I am having 251mb because I am using CM9 munjeni.
If you need help, feel free to ask us.

Yes the rom on the explorer is smaller, so the file is a little too big. Was wondering if someone could strip the desiire c rom down
On the Wildfire S we have the port stripped and booting to logcat/shell.
Now we just have to fix graphics.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
We've made much more progress now with sense4 on the Wildfire S. We've managed to get it booting to the bootanimation. But we're having problems with some things. Would anyone be able to give us a hand with getting this thing booting? In return we could help you get it booting on your Aria

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.

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.

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

x920e on my Google edition (port x920D or port for the droid) works well, not only works the camera
Google edition is essentially the same aosp, is not it?
Now that we have custom kernels and also source codes for butterfly is it possible to port cyanogen mod for our butterfly...

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

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.

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.
