Well, I was thinking about switching over to this, and was wondering how easy it would be to port a rom from the optimus 3d to this. From what I understand, they're basically the same phone, right? Anyways, thanks in advance!
Well from everything I have heard, the only difference's are the radio. I could be wrong though considering I am not a dev. and have no clue what else might be different.

I saw an article that the Legend has received the 2.2 FroYo. Whats this mean for us Hero users? Im not a dev by any means but I imagine we're so much closer to a full on 2.2, sense and all...again, Im not a dev and really dont know much about cooking, roms that is, but this seems good.

someone should port the LG optimus S to the hero because the specs are almost simular

Legend is even more similar haha Legend should be the best port we can get, unless the Gratia is even more simliar.

Yeah but the gratia is more different than the Hero. The legend is basically a remade Hero with a 600mhz processor in it. This will definitely mean something
Also this helps bridge the gap closer to our own fully functioning 2.2w/sense rom. If this rom helps us fix bluetooth, gps, and camera issues, it's all downhill from there, and we will finally have our own 2.2

now THIS is exciting! I was under the impression that this is the ROM that the devs were waiting for.
Go go gadget XDA!
I thought we were running AOSP 2.2 because Sense BOGGS down our Hero's. Maybe the kernel with be worth it
This shows Legend before and after Froyo!!

We might be able to port the new kernel from it, most likely.
The Legend is the phone most common phone with ours if I'm not correct.

The real question is if the Legend can run Froyo. Why doesnt HTC just give it to the damn hero already.

Legend is MSM7227 while we're MSM7600... we'll see when the kernel source is released.
without googling, pretty sure the gsm hero has it... i could be wrong. kinda hope i am. i love the legend. id take a cdma legend and be happy until cdma2 or whatever...a very long time.
please sprint, htc gimme a cdma legend(cause the read xda all the time)

Because Sprint doesn't care about supporting the Hero anymore. They want you to upgrade to a newer phone/lock yourself into another 2 year.

I was wondering if there is a way to determine what kernel is on the phone? Like a way to check it...? I know I can check the kernel version...would that be how to determine? I must sound dumb...wow...lol.
Your phone info screen should show it.
I thought so. I had an HTC 8925 before this, so the Android world is all new to me. I know basic things and have already successfully flashed two phones with custom ROMs as well as flashed my own captivate back to stock. My brother also gave me his old Motorola Droid and I use it as a way of learning as well. I know the hardware on both is different but it's still a good way of learning I feel. I even helped a friend root and flash Cyanogen onto his HTC Inspire. He recently went back to stock without the bloatware...which reminds me. Does a ROM of the stock without bloatware exist for the Captivate? I've searched but haven't had much luck...
Also, forgot to mention I had Myn's warm donut on that HTC. It ran well enough but the battery issues were never worked out for me.

Pinnacle is a great ROM. Its pretty close to stock, really smooth, really good battery life, and not a lot of flashy stuff, just really reliable. No bloatware at all... except it isn't being developed on anymore. There's one called Illumination (not the exact name but its close enough you'll find it) and it looks good and is being developed still. Its actually based off of Pinnacle too. I don't have any personal experience with it though.

No problem, I'm glad it's working well for you. I have so much stuff installed on this ROM I'm probably not flashing anything till something truly official drops (if ever).
Maybe I am blind, but are there any stable roms that do not have sense, for the HTC Holiday?

thecubed and ghostdog are working on CM9 for us
not like we have anything to really work off of currently, so there isnt anything without sense. i have given it some thought, but dont really have much time to dedicate at the moment
Thanks mate, Maybe I will work on something myself... bout time I took a look in the kitchen

What do you mean exactly when you say there isn't anything to really work off of. I don't know much at all about coding but I'm trying to learn. I know the kernel source is available on the HTC dev site. What else is needed to get something like an AOSP rom up and running? I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for what we have or rush any of the devs. I know a lot of work and time goes into getting these things up and running. I am just generally curious.

Sense4 is released here
my youtube recording of it here
Is this a ROM or just a theme? I mean, is it possible for us without 4X developer edition to get this aswell?

did you watch the youtube? does it look like a theme?, all widgets looks accurate?
this is Sense4 for OneX i used. and yes, its possible, OneX and o4x is hardware wise pretty similar on cpu/gfx chipset. rest is different but can be fixed i believe.
Sounds great. Just thought the locked bootloader could be a problem for this but you've just made a flashable launcher, am I right? And btw I would very much appreciate if you released this.

Sense4 is not a flashable launcher, but the complete rom, since Sense is integrated into all the framework of ICS and android, so you cannot run widgets or apps without having the sense core framework and native libraries associated.
but i will make it a flashable zip through CWM, if decision is to do it.
Sounds like a great idea. Yes, I think this would be highly helpful as then we have a base to work with. How much work in your opinion would it be to get it to work with phone?
Noooooooo, please don't quit with this phone. I am losing my faith that we will ever have anything else than the stock rom

personally i believe its a though one. functionality in the framework (telephony) needs to be ported into the htc framework, or vice versa if possible.
but the radio someone seems similar , but honestly i am not technical radio expert, but they share the 6260 radio name on htc as well, maybe a nvidia radio compatibility thing.
Its not a case of putting the LG ril files in the HTC framework is it?
Good Job Dexter_nlb!!!!
You bring light in this phone.Never leave the work in this phone please.Thanks!!!
This community is little, and you have experience in roms.

i was told it was that simple on the GSIII port, which seemed to die, although they claimed to have phone working
but here its not that simple. i try to follow the logs with "logcat -b radio" and you do see its being setup with lge-ril.so , but then telephony framework seems to identify it as cdma and other calls to framework fails.
i believe some lge services are required to utilize the functions fully.
Hmm, I will deffianetly have a look if and when you release it
Well it definitely seems smmother running on O4X thatn it does on the HOX. So dear friend, can you share with us the zip and see what we can do with it?
Maybe kholk could continue this when he unlock the bootloader?

unlocking bootloader does not resolve the modem driver needed to be compiled and Integrated without the security checks they put into it, and that the driver needs to handle the modem different from previous models.
but the backup got lost since the device was delivered to another person with the sdcard erased and backup was on it
i do not believe another pc backup exists, sorry.

yes, that happened already when my GnoteII arrived, i really prefer that one over o4x, coming from HTC flyer with scribe functions as well and the 5.5" display i like soo much now
^I can understand you mate. GNote2 is a great device and right open for experimentation from the get-go...I was considering it but the sheer size of it, is simply beyond my willingness to suffer carrying it in a handbag! I always demand for my devices to fit in my pocket no matter the slimness and that's the final deciding factor for me.
i might get a chance to rebuild my htc build (4.0.4 edition), it seems camera+wifi+bt works , but audio is now an issue.
ill keep this thread updated, if i get more progress. I probably need to return the o4x soon.
and no, HTC JB 4.1.2 is not possible , as we havent got any updated camera,audio,wifi libs to support the changes, so porting is impossible.
That's way better than nothing, mate. Thanks for your efforts, I'm interested in trying it out.

i was wondering about CM on the one. i dont currently see any roms out to check on this, but will it be able to use the image stability in sense camera? not to worried about the zoey thing, but what about that? also what are they going to do with the hardware/software buttons? thanks for any info of ppl who already have the phone!

I think all the drivers will be ok, good that it's a Qualcomm and not a tegra chip
