Froyo legend build

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!?

NOT ?! You are fired!
Vanilla will be nice anyway
This is a good reason for me to root my Legend.

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. =)

Why there are no Custom Roms?

Can anyone answer the question?? No Cyangogenmod, Villain and all the other cool custom Roms.. What is the Reason/Problem..?
Sent from my GT-I9000 (XXJPK) using XDA App

Actually there are a couple of them in the Dev area based on the beta versions of Froyo.
For the most part I think everyone is waiting for the final Froyo to be released before investing the time in a beta rom.
my 2 cents

But this all not really Roms.. They are themed an they removing/install Apps on the Stock Rom..?! :/
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

what do you consider a Custom ROM?
there are many skinned Custom ROMs if you check inside the Development area

They are working on Cyanogenmod (starting with Vibrant first though)

I mean with a Custom Rom a full themed flashabel Rom.. Like Cyangogenmod, Villain..!
Like at the HTC Phones..
But thanks for the Information with the Cyngogenmod
And another Question..
How to Install another Bootanimation?
Thanks for the Answers ;D

No working BootAnimation for i9000 till now.

Why there are no Bootanimations? Anyone know?

the OS has been hacked by samsung, and the files works slightly differently
and no one has bothered to figure out how to make it work on the SGS yet, that's why
it's in the low priority list

[Poll]Which ROM is the best that you've ever used in HTC Buzz: Wildfire?

My first customize rom was puzzlerom but this rom is very bugged, the kernel isnt working good and had a loot of freezes. Now I use cyanogen mod 6.1 and I' m very happy. This is great rom with updates. Cyanogen's rooms are the best because I have wildfire, my frend have G1 and we both using cyanogen rooms. I never using openfire and I cant say anything abaut this... This is my opinion

Cyanogen would be my fav if it had flash in it... for now.. wildpuzzle 8.0.10 since 11 gives me lots of network dc problems..

Id go for OpenFire for now. Until CM gets the sim PIN fixed. Then id permanently switch to that

I do not get it - what is the point of "Whats the best..." poll threads?
You should probably understand that every single person is different, likes and prefers something else.

Imho Wildpuzzle 2.1 1.0.1 and Openfire 2.3.

Cm6 no need for flash imo, watching the youtube videos is enough for me anyways

I am going to let out a secret here............

there is..... NO SUCH THING as the best of anything. EVER. There is a Majority, and a minority, AND in between, BUT there is NEVER EVER a case for the best of anything. We ALL have different needs and tastes.
Want to Know MY favorite rom? Stock. Its runs near flawless, EVERYTHING works and there are no major bugs.
Want to Know ^^Kevins^^, CyanogenMOD.
Neither of us are right or wrong, it just so happens that our needs are fufilled by that particular rom.
Flash EACH ONE, play around with it for a few days and then try the next and you will find one that just 'feels right' for you.

rarrrr internetz!!! the poll is asking an opinion? which is the best rom you have used.....personally the best rom i ever used was the private beta preview of w[ildfire]ndows 98 with added blue screen goodness. available only to me in my head. second best is openfire, but at least it tries.

This poll is just for voting your favorite rom. I don't want any arguments happening in forums :X

all roms where full of bugs.anyway.the best rom is cyanogen.but as i said:every rom is full of bugs.
they shouldnt do it with the chinish version

The best rom i tryed when i used my wildfire was handsdown Openfire.
Fast as hell stable and smooth.
if you ever have force closes you only have to run "fix permissions" in rom manager + reboot.
Meh cyanogenmod, wins alot of votes only by the name.

VillainROM for Wildfire!

Openfire 2.3 combined with SetCpu, cant get any faster than that

Stock - v.stable and has sence and resolves clockwork charging issue (I'm not rooted) and I couldnt get wildpuzzle to boot

What charging issue?

Well, to be honest, i went back to stock rom, just using another kernel that's rooted, and gives me oc capabilities.
I did it because even tho the devs are doing a great job on these custom roms, they are still flawed, some minor bugs here and there, but it adds up, and i can't just fix the issues my self, maybe some can, but i can't.
I've tried WildPuzzleROM 2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 & CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2
i liked wildpuzzle best.

My vote goes for stock Rom , then comes OPENFIRE fastest and stable too

[Q] Which ROM?

I'm currently running Cyanogen but I was wondering if there was a good place to see what ROMs are available and what they offer. I've found a lot of info in these forms but it's kind of hard to figure out all the details. This site has a decent list but no details as to what components each ROM has.
Just looking at maybe switching my ROM to something more slimmed down yet still capable.

well, i cant really help you on finding a main source for roms, but i can suggest a rom for you. you might try aospROM 2.2.1. i havent had a chance to try it yet, but from what i understand, CM6 is basically a ROM with lots of cool and improving mods, whereas aospROM is straight, 100% android compiled from source for the Hero. you can find the gapps elsewhere just like you did for CM6. and that basically all i can really suggest to you. so, its definitely slimmed down and more than capable from what ive heard.

CyanogenMod ROMS are the best i have tried, they are one of the few ROMS that actually work. try CM6

CM6 is Cyanogen, best rom IMHO, especially with an Impaled theme along with it

FWIW, CyanogenMOD IS AOSP, with modifications. The framework of CyanogenMOD is slightly different than AOSP, to support the new modifications to it. The performance of CyanogenMOD is almost exactly the same as AOSP, but has the potential to be better if certain settings are enabled. If you want the most customizable and fastest ROM, CyanogenMOD would be your best bet.

What should I do?

I want to develope my own kernels and roms but I don't know the road to take to get there. I'm working in some new things (editing and creating system files to boost performance, etc) but What and where should I start learning to be able to make my own roms and kernels for the hero community?
Also which is better liquids 2.1sense rom or nfinites stock 2.2 rom? Pros and cons thank you
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Well thats gonna be a matter of opinion.Liquids are optimized and most of the bloat and google stuff removed. Nfinite's not optimized,has senseand sprint apps.Both have odex and deodex versions. I prefer both odex versions of the .2 roms not big on theming ,also the odex ver. boot faster.Deca's kernels are compatable with all.If anyone can add anything that I missed,jump in get your feet wet and add to my observations based

I think what a lot of guys do is take a rom that's already made, strip it down, and then reassemble it according to how they want
That's essentially what liquid did. So I would suggest to learn the layout and how stuff is put together you do that for your first time.
I'm no dev tho, and really have no idea how to do that kind of detailed stuff. Its just what I've seen others here do and be successful and its what I would do if I could. Good luck.
