Hey people!
I was trying to learn how to build AOSP ROMs for my E8.
I feel kind of lost right now.. I have uploaded the kernel source for the device on to GitHub: [LINK]
Now, I'm sync-ing the AOSP source (from HERE) to my Ubuntu VM (which is a huge download). What do I do next? Will this be enough to build the ROM or will I need other help as well?
Sorry, I've never really done this before. So, I have some really noobish questions.
Thanks!
Anyone??
No one can help?

You should try asking some developer, who's been doing this. I'm sure they'll help you out with the basics at least. Not many people here know about development.
I think I'll try the M8 sub-forum.
I tried asking the question in the generic Q&A but they just pointed me to an XDA-U link that I've already seen. Why can't HTC just be AOSP friendly like Sony.. sigh!
Talk to Dutch Danny. He builds with Sense. But hue might be able to help you get the right files for an AOSP ROM. Also, looking forward to it!!!

@DutchDanny - Dude.. Any idea where I can get the vendor tree, etc to do this?
You need to make them yourself. Take the M8 as an example.
Some sites to get you started

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask you if you know why there are so few custom firmwares for the villec2? If I look over in the Sensation section there are only villec2 based Roms, so why they arent availible for the villec2? I dont get it!
It seems that Im pretty much ****ed with my phone. No updates, no CFWs, no nothing.
Probably I should have bought the Sensation. Would have been cheaper and better for rooting.

The sensation has a big user base but no official sense 4 from HTC right? And the sensation is similar to the villec2 where it matters most for a "chef" I guess, eg same SOC, same resolution.
The c2 ville was released because the newer awesome krait S4 SOC was in low supply but by then many devs and users had already got the regular S4 ville so ville development is still focused on it.
Might change as more ppl get the c2, but chances are devs generally are more aware of the different versions and avoid buying the c2 for themselves.

Why don't you try porting a sensation ROM? It shouldn't be too hard considerimg the hardware similarities. Heck, it might even work if you just flash one.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
I really don't want to try them out on my phone. I don't want to brick it.
And how does porting work? Is it hard?

And how do we port a Sensation Rom if we don't have the knowledge to do it? I'm talking about normal users... not devs!
Is there a tutorial available for doing this?
If there is I'm willing to do it.

confirmed, every day, only (S4) posts updated with new rom updates. Some devs confirmed to look in to C2/S3 but .... i think they have no time.
i whish there would be a custom rom with 1% battery and tab quicksettings in notification window for VilleC2 /S3.

I would love to have MIUI or CM10 availible for the VilleC2. Some friends have them installed on their phones and those are just amazing ROMs!

HTC have released an Android 4.1.1 ROM with Sense 4+ for Ville Plus (The Taiwan exclusive White One S with S4 Qualcomm chip) and thanks to Football we now have a link for it
Visit Football's Original Post and smash his thanks button
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34017166&postcount=397
I managed to make some time available to upload this to my server for people who cant download from filefactory.
http://icxperia.com/jonny/RUU/HTC Ville Plus 1.14.709.16/
Now I must stress that this is intended for developers and other people willing to help try and get this going (it has some major problems as highlighted in post 2 which I suggest you read)
To any users who are even slightly tempted to flash this onto your Sensation, it will brick your phone so don't even try it. If you do and it bricks your phone, do not come to me for sympathy because I will just laugh at you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The Problem,
Since JellyBean releases HTC have added extra protection around their RUU's making the rom.zip file still getable from the RUU but with what bender_007 says are extra bytes - this means that any attempt to extract the system.img gives a CRC error.
This is not particuarly my area of expertise so I hope those with more knowledge/ideas will come and discuss this
Hey! I'm not a dev or something but when you're searching for testers, I will offer my help!

Dear god, the holy grail may be within this amazing dev community's grasp. Sucks that its for the S4 though, isn't S3 what is most portable to the Sensation?
If you show me how to extract the zip from the RUU, i can discover the password!!!. I can try!!
OK I FIND HOW, I WILL TRY I'm Downloading it.
That would be awesome...

I hate HTC attitude, they said that they won't release JB for old devices and lock the ROM files. I wish you guys the best of luck solving it and giving us, once again, the best ROM available.

Again you are TROLLING...
nah..you can't flash it , but you can try to. The app has too some conditions on flashing .
We can override the conditions, someone would flash it and then dump the image.
Does this sound reasonable enough ?

hi didn't want to start my own thread but, does anyone know a ROM with 4.2.2 sense 5 but has zoe app? im using pac man now which is great but i'm selling it and most people dont have a clue that stock is better with some of the great twecks pacman has. I think it would have more selling power if it was close to the HTC one UI OS.
Thanks in advance

Well I figure to start a thread to see if we could have a kernel dev develop us a 4.3 sense kernel so this forum could experience some of HTC latest sense versions.The reason why is because as we all know the HTC One X probably wont be updated again and our only hope is for a talented dev to help us make a 4.3 or 4.4 kernel. depends on what they choose.. i want to raise at least $250 so the devs that creates it and make it happen feel like there work was well paid.
Nominees for making kernel
@Zarboz - complete kernel genius
@bilal_liberty - made the one s have 4.3 possible
@jose51197 - who make sense 4+ and 5 possible on the DrInc4g

I think that's what he meant ... You need a 4.4.2 kernel to boot sense 6... And once you get sense 6 booting the rest of its easy fixing. Longs kernel is done correctly so you still need kernel in order for the Rom to boot..
