Push towards porting Sense 6! - General Questions and Answers

I've searched, and found some threads. Just non of them really answered all my questions. My big question is, how would I start porting Sense? I mean, I've built a few ROMs, Cherrie picked some fixes and wrote some code in my day. I'm no rookie, But I'm also not a great WINARD.. yet. I'm just hoping maybe someone can point me to a thread, or give me some advise on how to start porting Sense 6? Where I should start, I know its difficult. I would love to give it a try still, If anyone could give a old kid some advise. It would be appreciated!

PDA vs Shifu vs TPC vs ?? Whos is got the best 6.1 ROM?

Hello all,
What I would like to see is who likes what 6.1 ROM and why?
I am getting a lil frusterated with all the 6.5 rom flashing and the lil issue here, or lil issue there... and before a fix is found we are off to another 6.5 rom... which in itself just brings a different lil bug... lol
So I am thinking I will go back to a 6.1 rom...
I see Shifu is still cooking them, and Abu has stopped with his final version...
Which do you like better and why?
Also have I missed a stable one by someone else I should look at?
Seriously??
I believe that is a matter of preference... most of us here have tried all, and like all for different reasons, and pick one that suits us best and we trick iit out to be what we wont as well.
Besides... I think opening a new thread in the dev forum for this question is a bit risky. Try them and decide for yourself.
You should really try them for yourself and decide. An unintended consequence of this in the past has been us losing chefs because folks get really critical.
I agree. This is a personal issue. There have been threads like this before and they have been closed quickly. I would say try them out each for a few days and make your own choice. TPC, Abz, Shifu, Phoenix, Anryl, They are all good.
REALLY!! Dude... c'mon!
I am asking a valid question about ROM's in the ROM thread!
I have tried all the ROMs I mentioned, I have been flashing since my days with my Hermes, I know what I like, but might not even know of something better, newer, or different unless I ask!
So Tut instead of trying to run up your post count, why don't you try to answer my question, and post what 6.1 ROM you use or have used and why you liked it?
Don't mean to sound like a prick, but I really would like others opinions and experiences. So what 6.1 ROM have you used?
Ahh SH!t fine!!
Someone close the post please!!
Evidently I can't try to learn from others in a simple request of what someone likes... I have to read through all the threads and deciper from all the issues, which one had the least only to decide then what I already know and thats what works or dosen't rather then possibly learning from others postive experiences and having them post here something like...
Hey I use <blank> and have had much success with it because <blank> and it have <blank features> that I really like.
So anyways... close it someone, cause I am asking to much I guess.
Closing as requested

Please organise a single Topic to show All ROMS for HTC Magics?

Hi I request that there should be a single Topic to show all the ROMs from the best to the worst ones and or if anyone could point me that which is the best android 2.1 based custom rom for magic 32b thanks....I want something cool and visualy stunning as in the UI. THANKS in advance!
---A faithful NooB of XDA
Well.. get yourself a pizza, some coffee, a night to spend and start making own.
Of course, this WOULD be great, but somebody has to do it. Why not you?
Your thread is only contributing to the unorganization. I agree with the guy above, make your own! I made my own, with bookmarks.
This is when i ask why ANYTHING other than ROMs are in this section of the forum since its development...
Figured crap like this would go in GENERAL section or something. Same with all the people asking for help and why apps dont work...

As stated I am here too, and I will also respond to PMs as well, and I am willing to put in what is needed to help anyone out with cooking, or Linux / Android OS questions.
Let the Development begin to flow!
Yes, I also vote to make this a sticky. To our MODs: Please?
I've talked with Jim about this as well and I will be trying to start on something next week but can't guarantee a timeframe since I will be starting this brand new. I will also be trying to port over a theme or two as well.
I CAN PROMISE LOTS OF QUESTIONS THOUGH!!

I would like to try my hand at making/porting a ROM, I have experience with Linux/Unix. Is there a resource for learning the ropes of making a ROM?
still waiting for my atrix, but count me in .. I'm quite familiar with linux but never develop any ROMs..
I'd like to try and help.
Hey guys, I just want to re-open this call for help.....
I know that both lfaber06 and I are swamped with day to day stuff as well as things in here, and we also have cogery helping out, and JRW28 has jumped in and done a couple of things as well.
Thanks cogeary and JRW 28 for all the help so far!
We really need some people to jump in and help with ROM development and porting, no experience needed, just the desire to give it a shot, and some time to spare and have fun with it.
I have been unable to work on any ROM building/porting in quite a while, since I am working on some very low level hacks, if you want to know something I am working on, it is the same thing kohlk and a few others are working on, for the razr and bionic. I am not ready to reveal anything yet, because I don't want Moto or AT&T to catch wind and block in the next release. I am getting closer to this, and it is something I have been working on in here since day one, so most of you know, with out me saying anything, what this is.... don't ask in this thread what it is, PM me instead if you must know.
If you want to and are able to help, with ROM building/porting, reply here, and send a PM to lfaber06 and I, and lets hopefully get some more stuff flowing.
Thanks!

I'm willing to be a part of developing for this phone. I do have to admit, while I'm a fair hand at linux, and have the Android SDK set up on both Ubuntu and Windows 7, I have never even begun to try my hand at Android development. I'm familiar with reading code syntax, though I can't actually code, and I know my way around both bash and the windows command line. I am however, gifted with the ability to learn very quickly, and have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so if there's anyone that can help me along with android development, I'd love to be more of a contributor.
I'm still willing to help in any way I can.
Just pm me n let me know where to begin, I'm always willing
Im down

I'm willing and consider myself able. I'll do some reading and research over the weekend. I typically have three hours a night through the week free (est). If there is a starting point you think we should focus on outline it. We could start independently and go from there.

I have received everyones PMs, and I want to thank you.
I have not replied yet, because I have sent a PM to lfaber06 and we are figuring out which tasks we need filled right now with the projects we are working on. Once lfaber06 and I have figured it all out, I am hoping later this week, to have it all laid out in a PM to those that have PM'd me.

[Q] Will there be any ports for our device?

What everyone is liking about the nexus is that it runs pure stock android with no bloatware.which I love as well but occasionally I tend to get bored and flash Roms like crazy. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there was an lg u.i port on the nexus 4 not sure if it went through daily driver state but it was a port. Will the nexus 5 have a similar port ? Or are there any devs out there working on any porting of some sort?
I'd personally liked to see a sense 5 port
Sounds like a couple of budding devs. Why don't you learn how to port roms and make them

Lol figured someone would get butt hurt about it like always.xda used to be a place where people can come to for info..share ideas..post issues..ask for help..no wonder most devs now a days have there own website and stay away from xda. It was a simple question no need to be rude about it.if I wanted to learn how to port and make Roms I wouldn't be posting the question now would I?

I didn't mean to be rude. I was serious. There are a number of threads on xda on how to port roms. With some patience it's not that hard to do.
Most ports are partial or only partly working. People who end up with full ports are lucky. An inordinate amount of work and effort goes into porting full roms. Arguably more than most roms....and often the effort just isn't justified.
You may see the odd one two floating around. Theyre generally done by the person who ultimately wants it rather than by request so there will either be someone who wants to do it and try, or there wont
In regards to why many devs leave xda, its more out of frustration from the influx of non-searching, non-reading, "make my phone kewl" crowd we seem to be buried in.. when devs answer the same question on every page of their thread, its easier to start your own forum and ban all the idiots

[Q] Porting Sense 6?

I don't know if this has been asked, I could find 2 threads on XDA about this topic. That's about it. I just would like to know if its possible, I'm no Main line developer, Just some knowledge on how I would start would be greatly appreciated! I have built a few ROMS. I know how to use gerrit, and all that other good stuff! Just, I don't know where to begin in porting sense? I honestly would love to see sense on our Skyrocket! I'd love to be apart of the porting process to, and maintaining it! I just need a push in the right direction..
