So, I was wondering with the HTC Incredible out for Verizon right now, would it be easier to port Sense over from that to the N1 than from the Desire since they share many of the same parts? I know the Desire port is almost fully functional, but missing some things, would the same occur with the port from the Incredible. Or does it matter that it's CDMA?
I would love to have Sense on my Nexus, but these questions are moreso just me trying to get my head around how this port thing works.
N1 has more things in common with desire than incredible.
Aside from a few minor hardware differences (physical buttons, no noise cancelling mic) the desire is basically the same phone as the N1 but with different software and a non unlockable bootloader.
you should be saying HD2 port to incredible or visaversa

It would be more difficult since the N1 is closer to the Desire than the Incredible. Also, the Desire rom has already been available for months.

Why not try the Desire rom that's available now?
Starting from square 0 on Incredible would mean a port that's less functional than the Desire rom for at least many months.
Good info to know. I have no idea why I thought the Incredible was closer than the Desire... me being stupid apparently...lol. And I do plan on trying the Desire port, my N1 just arrived today. I will keep it stock for a bit just to make sure it doesn't have any of those pesky issues that can be fixed via warranty, but I'll get the itch to root and ROM it soon enough. My FUZE didn't last very long before I did so... I doubt this will either...haha.

Though I do wonder, if the Incredible's version of Sense is a newer/updated version of the UI, then would we expect to see those changes implemented in the Desire? Hence making another version of the ROM closer to what the Incredible has.
I'm assuming somebody will release the Incredible ROM more to make the current Sense ROM better.
Just a guess...
Hello guys.
I'm currently using HTC Legend and I'm pretty sure it's the best phone I ever had.
But yesterday I met HTC Desire HD. Design of this phone is poor, but... ROM is excellent! Sense 2.0, a bunch of new interesting and useful apps..
So, let's see pros & cons:
- We already have DHD Rom ported to Desire +;
- We have all drivers for legend, based on 2.1 (As I know, there are no 2.2 drivers shared on the internet) +;
- I think there will be a ****load of issues due to incompatible screen resolution on Legend -;
- Perfomance issues. 600mhz 384mb versus 1ghz and 512mb. -;
So... Maybe, it's time to start porting?
As far as I know the DHD ROM ported to Desire is not fully functional and still has issues. Having in mind that and the fact that the Desire is much more closer to DHD hardware-wise, I think it won't be possible to have the Sense 2.0 ROM ported for the Legend any time soon.
I have an access to Desire and I intalled DHD ROM on it about a week ago. It's pretty fast, the only one bug I found is not working camera.
Also, hardware does not make any sense, because there are drivers and, I'm sure, it's really easy to replace drivers in DHD ROM (As I said, we have Legend drivers).

"Not working camera" is really serious issue I think! DHD and Desire both have ARM v7 CPUs, Legend has ARM v6 CPU... quite different architectures.
Oh wow... I forgot about cpus.
But... I can't believe it's so hard to port DHD ROM to legend -____- People porting Android 2.3 on WM6.5 device (HD2) now, even if it doesn't make any sense.
just hope it is possible...loved DHD Sense ROm on HD2.....
Maybe it's possible but I doubt if any of the skilled Legend devs will spend time on that...

Android 2.3 AOSP is open source, HTC Sense is closed source. That means you have to rebuild everything, especially the graphics and CPU.
hmmm...then 2.3 then..
The HTC Wildfire 2 has been spotted! Since it looks like having a 3.2 inch HGVA screen like our Legend, would it be possible to port this ROM to our Legends?
Here's the link: http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/02/14/htc-wildfire-2-also-given-first-press-shot/
I know it hasn't even been officially announced yet, but does it seem plausible? I've always thought the reason we couldn't port HTC Sense 2.0 was because the Desire HD / Desire Z had a different resolution screen to the Legend? I know when the Legend came out its 2.1 ROM was ported to the Hero, so I wonder if this will be possible...
We'll only know if and when it is officially released though. Just a thought.
Sense 2.0 was buggy on the DHD I had one on release and a lot of the features worked only when they wanted to.

In that case I hope a Wildfire 2 is released! The only issue I can think about is the potential lack of a trackball, but that didn't stop the DHD ROM being ported to the original Desire, so...
This is all speculation at the moment anyway until we find out tomorrow whether the Wildfire 2 is real or not at the MWC.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...brings-android-gingerbread-on-a-budget-928653
It's official! The specs look very similar to the Legend - 600mhz processor, same screen, etc.
Now we are waiting for leaked ROM. Maybe we will have 2.3 with Sense 2 soon...
Oh yess, it's comin. When will this new wildfire be released?

I've seen the new sense rom get ported to the nexus one, desire and more phones. i can't wait till i actually have the newest version of sense AND Gingerbread on my pretty little legend
so today news broke about the HTC Sensation getting an ICS update "soon". I bought the HTC Vivid the day it came out and I'm coming from a Samsung Captivate. when i had my captivate there was a lot of dev with porting from other phones either the I9000, I896, etc etc. i was wondering since I'm new to HTC i was wondering how hard it is to port roms from other phones i.e. the Sensation to the Vivid?
just kind of food for thought

To answer your question, yes, it can be done, but Sense can only be ported to Sense devices. Look at the Inspire, several of its Roms are actually based and ported from the Sensation XL. Certain aspects of each phone would require fixes to get them to work like they came from HTC for the phone they are getting ported to. Trust me, if there is a dev with a Vivid or Raider and they want to give us a port of another HTC phone's Android and Sense versions, they will get is done and you will see it in the Dev section. Once a dev begins work on it they will know soon enough if it will be hard or easy and what will be required for it to work.

Pretty sure by the time the google version comes out you can flash to your heart's content. Right now there are some good options and AOSP based roms are getting better by the day. :good:
Personal preference I reckon. The Google edition will be up to date and less bloated, but sense feels more complete in my opinion, and they've done a great job with Sense 5!

Get sense one. You will be able to run aosp on it but not vice versa. I doubt there will be Google HTC one.. even if there is,sense won't be able to run on it.

I wanted to post the exact same thread, saves me work now :good: I'm looking to upgrade quite soon, from my Gnex and before I was all about the N4, but the One looks so much better! Hard to resist. Honestly Sense 5.0 looks really good and promising and normally I absolutely loathe bloatware/oem skins. Check this tweet out from Richard Lai:
https://twitter.com/richardlai/status/334718806855389184
Makes it even harder to choose. I prefer to run stock roms, without all the rooting/tweaking etc. What to do, first world problems.

Sense 5 is nice and easy to use Google versiyonu için çok da beklemenin bir anlamı yok. Nasıl olsa aradaki fark HTC tarafından kapatılıyor.
I like aosp much more. The problem is that Google's One will be available only in US and Im from EU. I hope it will be possible to flash aosp on regular One.
They are the same phone and HTC themselves said they won't be making one. Yes football said they will but this isn't the first time he has been wrong. So buy a regular HTC one and throw CM on it and be happy

First of all, there still has not been ANY official confirmation that there will (ever) be an HTC One "Google Edition". Yes, there are rumours and many websites seem to be pretty convinced about it coming soon. But till there is something official, don't just assume there actually will be an HTC One G.E...
Sense 5 or AOSP is a question for me too. I have been using my HTC One for over a month now, only using Stock or custom Sense 5 ROMs. I am really enjoying it and I just can't make myself go AOSP. I have tried PAC ROM (CM/AOKP/PA mix) for 10 minutes on my One.. then went back. First of all, these things (which will probably be the same on the "Google Edition" of the One)
- Speakers: They are loud, but don't sound that good as on Sense 5. The problem is there is no Beats Audio on AOSP and that really makes a difference on the HTC One and it's dual front speakers.
- Camera: You can take pictures. You can make videos. That's it. Forget all the stuff like Zoe, all the camera settings you get with the stock HTC camera, the HTC gallery, etc. Even the pictures themselve seem a bit less good, since you are missing HTC’s imaging software.
These 2 things are already enough to stop me from going AOSP. Well, almost then. I have always been a huge fan of AOSP based roms, so I could even let these 2 things go. But once you go back to AOSP, you realise Sense 5 is almost as good. Sense 5 is often just as fast, it looks much more modern and pretty and makes AOSP roms almost look boring. So at the moment, for me (an AOSP fan) there is no reason to leave Sense 5 on my HTC One. Either Android 4.3 will be awesome and a CM 10.2 will make me go AOSP, or they find ways to implement Beats Audio/Better camera on CM10.1 or something.
My advice: go for the normal HTC One. It's not even confirmed yet if there will ever be a Google Edition. And if there will be, I think chances are little of it including Beats Audio and the HTC Camera.

You can just flash/install beats drivers onto any Android phone. I did it with my Nexus 4 and my old Mytouch 3G Slide.
Haven't done it on the One though.
Camera on the other hand, no way of getting use of that image chip unless HTC releases sources for it.
EDIT: I can't find the other one, but here's an example.

I fully agree with you. And i have experienced the same while using CARBON ROM on HTC one and Stock Sense 5. These two things are a deal breaker for me as well. Sense Camera and BeatsAudio features and performance they make a HELL lot of difference.
Now coming to my question: Is there are AOSP or AOKP offering at least Sense stock Camera and BeatsAudio in them. That would be a BACON IMO.
thanks

I've tried both Sense and AOSP via ROMs. The main things where I much prefer one over the other are:
-Lockscreen - the AOSP 4.2 lock screen is really really good. If I'm on a Sense ROM I end up installing WidgetLocker but even that is nowhere near as good as what I get in AOSP.
-Contacts/dialer app, I much prefer the HTC interface over the AOSP default. Editing and merging contacts from different sources like Facebook and Skype is easier, and I just think the interface looks better
-Camera. While I don't like Sense's Gallery, the Zoe and Highlight Reel features can do some awesome things. AOSP has PhotoSphere though, which is also cool. Wish I could have both camera apps at once.
Hi guys.
I've been using sense 5 for a while now on my HTC One.
However I used cm10.1 on my nexus 4 and it was a pleasant experience.
I have no idea if it's worth the switch from stock sense 5 Roms to CyanogenMod Rom on the HTC One.
Did you replace your sense 5 Rom with a CM Rom?
Why did you switch and is it of any great benefit?
Thanks.

To be frank its personal choice.
but there are few drawbacks of installing cm on this device. u will lose zoe , camera quality is a BIT lower, Bluetooth issues.
and off-course , you will lose awesome blinkfeed
but disregarding all those, its still a good daily driver.
and more-over, sense offers a much more professional and clean ui. you might start to like it soon.
I switched over to the Google Edition for a week and it was good. Buy for some reason, Sense just fits the One so nicely that I felt the phone was incomplete without it. And not just the feel, but Sense ROMs are actually tweaked and optimized towards the hardware, so theres an interrelationship too. I've come to appreciate Sense 5 due to this.
Just my two cents. :]
