The source code for Froyo was released today
I am building a Vanilla Froyo rom for Legend, and should have the beta ready for download soon!
Great news
Just a stupid question: Froyo is available on AOSP. That means the sources of the OS are available. With this as a starting point, what is required to port it to a specific device (ie the legend)? Do you need the sources of the kernel (that HTC published), specific drivers (which ones?), something else?
Thanks!
MichaelAlexanderBull wel all love you!!!
gooooooood jub
Yeahhh!!!! Can´t wait.
Thanks!!!!
If you are succesfull, you will be our hero. Ohw and please put htc sens on it
This is really good news! I'm currently running the rom from Ali Ba, and I already prefer stock Android over Sense. Keep up the good work!
Great news!!!!
please let me enjoy legend without looking at my brother's nexus one with froyo
good news. cannot wait for the new ROM

I think most of us would prefer it without sense ..
Y is sense so bad? I don't mind having sense maybe not the news and footprint but a lot of the sense I think its great

I guess it will be very hard to port Froyo to the Legend because HTC devices often depend on com.htc.framework which will most likely not work with Froyo.
I'm going to try to port Froyo too once I get Vanilla Bean 0.3 ready, but this is hard work.
Sorry, not that I think MichaelAlexanderBull is doing bad work, but he simply doesn't have the source code for a few of the libraries needed to run HTC devices (especially some libraries that implement proprietary hardware calls). So don't expect a fully functional release.
I'm sure will see Froyo on the Legend though, just be patient.

You know more than me, But im still going to try
EDIT:
I have managed to get the G1 port to boot and run on my legend in the past, it could recieve calls etc, but the touchscreen problem was there.
So i'm feeling confident that we will get a good stable release working with the ASOP release! Will probably take a bit of time, but it is going to happen
W00T!?

If my comment had made you run away and stop development I'd be very disappointed!
No, really, I'm confident you'll learn how to compile and port Froyo in no time. It's hard at the beginning, but once you get into it, it can be lots of fun too.
I wish you great success.
I would like to know if Flash would work in the browser.
That would be AWESOME
Froyo FTW
Cant wait for this ROM. It will be awesome
Will
you guys (michael and ali ba) should work together. this will make porting froyo to legend faster. =)

Has it been done? I couldn't tell if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822 is compatible with the cyanogen roms or this only applies for hero roms that have been worked with thus far. Otherwise, would love to see this done if possible.
Thanks for the input.

Rosie is tied to HTC's framework, trust me your not the first to bring this up.I asked this q months ago, even installed the rosie.apk and nothing happened.
Nope
Rosie is HtC Framework diffrent than Aosp Google

Not gonna happen, it relies on Htc's closed-source frameworks- thus only Sense based roms can use it (and older ones at that)
p.s. Post in the correct section next time
RE:
Think it will ever be open sourced or highly doubtful?
I mean, I without a doubt love kingklick's 0.6's rom, but it has some bugs that needs tweaking out such as everyone's problem it seems... the camera and bluetooth.
p.s. - please push this thread to Dream Q&A (sorry, my mistake).

A mod will move it when they see it.
HTC wouldnt open source it unless they want it to be copied by other people which would be bad for business.The you would have hero widgets running on the liquid or droid and you get my point.
Is there a release of this ROM to flash on my Mytouch 3G 32a?
I wanted to test it out and make some modifications to it for educational purposes with my friend.
Also, a cliq too. Would that be possible to flash the same 2.2 ROM for two separate phones or would I need a special one for the two different phones.
Thanks.
Man, not this again. Wait until Android 2.2 gets on a phone officially.
Cyanogen can port it to the g1/mt3g (also the n1 and the droid) but for now all we got is android 2.1
You have to ask another dev to port it to the cliq since the cliq isn't really talked much about on xda.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into it. But I wasnt looking for a cyanogen release or any other ROM modification release. I wanted the Raw 2.2 file.
Cyanogen won't be releasing anything before its officially released.

That really doesn't make any sense, the hero hasn't had android ported to it, It has had benhams .29 kernel and the now released froyo 2.2 source compiled for it. The only device with 2.2 is the nexus one so if anything it would be ported from that!
I wouldn't expect froyo to be compiled and working on the topaz as a usable os for a long time. The hero can hardly handle it without overclocking.

Bull****, Froyo is designed to be many times faster and as for the rest, there are only minor updates. The only thing i would expect is a BETTER os for topaz and other low-end devices.

sooo... could we port the froyo rom from the nexus to the topaz, ps can u make the radio work on my at&t pure
I've decided to move from windows developing ROM's to android. I have the base rom's and radio's but I'm looking for anything you guys want?
I have a legend and will be souly developing for it so I need to know what your looking for.
Any feedback would be great and I hope to have first build online in the next few weeks!
Thanks.
For example: it´s would be nice to have another froyo based rom with some of the next features:
- jit activated
- perflock disabled
- one with sense, another without it
- ¿overclocked kernel?
- latest drivers from official htc roms
Maybe you can take ali ba or kyosa roms for using like base rom. Or you cant take the official rom that HTC says is going to be available this month.
You could try to make your froyo rom based on Cyanogen mod 6. Or perhapes you could make sensless(without htc sens, and other usless crap) rom based on latest 2.10.xxx rom. Wich would include ADW launcher and some other cupcakes
I would REALLY love an andoird 2.2 rom with FM radio (and JIT enabled)
grlayouts - welcome! Its great to have another developer on board for the Legend
Personally I think the real demand will probably arrive when the Legend officially gets 2.2, I'm sure many people will want a non-sense/vanilla ROM (I'm not sure how much CM6 differs from pure vanilla).
For inspiration it may be worth looking at some of the more popular ROMs in the Desire subforum, too.
Also one big thing we're missing on the Legend thus far is the ability to apply themes.. am aware that's largely down to not having the required level of root access but I believe there has been recent progress on that front...
Enough from me...! I'm sure the Legend community will be grateful for any of your releases...look forward to seeing your work!
Good luck!

I would love a themeable rom, or completely blank froyo and yes it really is good to see a new developer, the more the merrier

Imagine a dog with its salivating tongue hanging out.
We are all waiting for THE FROYO. So, anything based on 2.2 please, thanks.
A rom compatible with oc kernels released or maybe you could release a few of your own.
I dont mind HTC Sense. A few bug changes
Welcome to the community. We have many children here

there are many people that are looking for this on legend.
For a rom a nice 2.2 without fancy stuff,very fast and stable oc kernel etc.
Why not try and join the villainrom guys and create a legend version of villainrom. Looking forward to a 2.2 Rom with working radio.

Why Legend not?
Thanks to Ali baba for his source on irc I will probably be using that! I have a second build installed with the nexus dialer and contacts and I'll be working on the look now. Keep the input coming.
I will also be looking into villain ROM and seeing what they offer.

Yeah, considering the guys at villainrom have used a lot of legend ports I'm surprised there hasn't been anything for us
Surely if we start with a hero froyo ROM we could work backwards. Not sure if they have a sense ROM though?
Had a quick go at trying to port back to legend, but keep always get errors on the install. Taking ages atm cus I'm just changing what the install error complains about & then trying again.
Anyone no any specifics on what needs changing to port?

Because the Desire developers figured out how to configure and build a device target to travel forward in spacetime.
The other explanation would be that there was a test build that leaked and spread really fast.
I'm starting to believe that HTC will not release an official 2.2 ROM for the Legend. It did not sell that well and there's no money to be made of that upgrade.
I think Froyo ROM development would be most appriciated by many enthusiasts.
But great builds of htcs official and enclair builds are always liked and used by many users ;-)
Also welcome to the legendary boards. Good pick. I came from wm on the Elf myself.

I know that there is hope for us , devs are trying to fix the camera ( and they are close ) and after that we are ready for a nand build, i think that we will use a new kernel branch for the nand.

good news!
I have in fact flashed android to my HTC TYTNII (AT&T Tilt)
It is not a matter of if, but just when we can get it, there is no point in pursuing a flash-able rom if it doesn't even work normally to begin with. Not that stuff like that matters if your TD2 is not your primary device.
Point is, the kernel needs to be a little more stable before a NAND rom is reasonable. I however am really looking foward to this though.
Great! But when we can start?

You are right! That's why the devs are making a new .35 kernel, they will cleanup all non needed stuff and do a fresh start so it will be hopefully more stable and ready for normal use on nand.
Great New. Waiting for Android on nand fot the TD2..
This would be the perfect Christmas present for me.
is anyone able to take the vogue rom and make it useable for the topaz? as i have created the android install zip they use in the install using lennired's 2.1 with sense to test?
