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 waiting on the sgs4, but after the cringe worthy unveiling last night…Im not 100% sold on it. Even with a nice vanilla rom, the hardware looks a bit boring (yeah, the screen does look nice…plus I bet the cpu+gpu will be awesome)…so my next choice is the HTC One. However, I don’t see any posts talking about Roms (other than stock/sense roms)…is this because its new…or is there an issue and custom vanilla android roms might not come out straight away?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know whats what before jumping in (I know for example, the sgs2 couldn’t get JB roms working 100% because it was missing the Sammy HW compressor at one point)
Cheers guys

It's just a matter of time till the No-Sense script (I believe that's what it was called for most htc phones) is adapted for the One.
However, out of the box you should be able to use something like Nova launcher to give you as much vanilla as you can get without rooting.
Hope it helped

You have to wait for someone to develope AOSP for this device. Typically, you have some one try to get CM going, then you'll get aokp and so on if this device is popular enough.

Would be Sony Ericsson, but the Xperia X1 was build by HTC just Software was SE.
it will need some time until someone figures out how everthing works with snapdragon cpu and until htc delivers some kernel sources... hopefully they will update to 4.2.2 anytime soon with kernel sources to get stable cm10.1
Firstly, please don't get me wrong here. Im not trolling in the slightest and I really appreciate all the work the devs do here.
With the HTC One having such high specs is there really any need to flash custom Roms? In my opinion all of them seem the same and don't look or feel any different to the stock rom on the One. The only benefit I can see is for Root access.
Im sure there is a lot of "under the hood" tweaks that are done but are these really noticeable or beneficial to the end user? Other peoples thoughts would be interesting.

Actually yes, I wish to get CM working fully on HTC One.
It gives us an alternate experience than what HTC wanted us to.
Best of all, you don't have to wait so long for HTC to update their phones.
Especially when they abandon the One, we rely on CM.
But I'm really hoping for the success of the One, nobody could resist the look and feel of the One.

I totally agree the updates and the benefit of getting rid on Sense if you dont like it is a real benefit. But is there a need for multiple Sense custom roms?

That's subjective I guess. But for something like example HTC DROID DNA or Butterfly, Sense 5 gets ported before HTC did. So I guess it's also a huge benefit.
Earlier updates is the main reason why I will be rooting, these phone networks take ages to update it's unavailable!!
Also there are some very nice skinned roms out there
I won't be unlocking my bootloader for a while. Not until I am at least sure that my device is working 100% and that will take a couple of weeks. I was eager to root it etc but I was reading about HTC's warranty and it seems as though it is a very long winded process. Maybe you wish to do the same?

yep ill be in no hurry either.
when i finally get a device im happy with yea i will root and flash custom rom, but not CM - Sense 5 is great and IMO is much better than stock JB - there are a few minor things I would like added, but I have no doubt they will be added to custom sense 5 roms in due course.
to me, there is no point in being a flashaholic. flash the latest stable base, and then keep up with custom kernels for battery.
thats me, idk bout u guys
Personally something that will push me over the unlock bootloader line is when either when A) IF the HTC logo can become mapped as a button, or B) A full relock becomes available lol
For me, absolutely. I consider some features (such as long press vol key to skip tracks) essential. There are also always some visual things I like to change no matter how well it is made
I just need root to enable volume key wake, and ill want to remap the keys. Everything else looks flawless

While there's obviously no NEED, a lot of people will prefer to flash ROMs for a variety of different reasons.
I'd say the main reasons are;
*The ability to have a pure AOSP look which is preferred by a lot of people (especially those who come from a Nexus device). Also, a lot of people don't like the look/feel of Sense and will therefore want to change the UI to something which is more preferable to them.
I, for example, have never tried Sense before and could quite possibly hate it once I finally test it. On the flip side of that, I may love it but at least custom ROMs will give me the ability to completely change the UI whilst giving me a ton more customizations and optimizations than a custom launcher would do.
*As mentioned at the end of the first reason, customization is a huge part of what a lot of people do with their devices. For example, when I had my SGS2 I used to love the ability to flash a simple ROM and have a ton of customization at my fingertips, so I could edit the look of my phone to my hearts content.
*Some people are simply flashaholics and have ORD (Obsessive ROM-flashing/updating Disorder). I'll normally flash every ROM in sight if the device is new and there aren't many ROMs available yet. This way it gives me a good early decision as to what type of ROM I'd prefer on said device. However, once the device starts getting more development and more ROMs start appearing in quick succession, I'll then make my mind up about which ROM to choose and generally won't change ROM for the vast majority of the devices lifetime.

I unlocked, rooted and flashed now because in a few months time the phone will be setup perfectly; all the right apps, all the right data, all in the right place (and HTC might of discovered a way to do a Sensation on us (S-Off))
With the phone rooted I can be relatively confident of getting it back to my currently backed up state after any major updates (and, when I finally install some games, get their progress restored as well)

Sense means HTC. I don't see any reason to buy HTC if I'm not gonna use sense.
Because HTC makes great hardware. I buy HTC exclusively, but I rip sense off it ASAP and put AOKP or CM or something without sense. Nexus devices are generally not top of the line hardware, they're supposed to be a benchmark for development (i.e. midrange). That said, N4 has more impressive specs than usual, but I can't imagine buying an LG phone. I have never realized LG even made smartphones, only flip phones until the N4 was released.
Still, HTC makes best hardware, I just generally don't like sense. That said, sense 5 does look interesting.

To a certain extent, yes, I agree with you on that statement. However, sometimes you just need a change and it is nice to have the option of running AOSP roms as well. I would much rather go back and forth between Sense/AOSP than TouchWiz/AOSP after having my GS3.
No. Roms are for old devices. Lol

i suggest flashing some roms instead of putting dow the forum. some ppl have put alot of work into these roms
Try albinoman's CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 and is stable. Only problem I have is reception bars are inaccurate, but that is a rare problem.
Only other bug I have encountered is reception drops on first boot. Easy fix in the development thread.

Hi,
I flashed this Rom, but it seems that the in-call and speaker volume is still very low.
I started from the stock ICS rom, unlocked, rooted, flash boot.img and flash the rom. The volume issue in CM10 is solved in this Rom?
Thanks

What an interesting post that relays something I've been noticing about XDA, it's development and far too many post of someone who asserted they had no problems putting such and such ROM into his device, "Here's the Tutorial" issue I'm having at present.
I have even openly complained about the only thing I was learning how to do here was how to brick devices in every possible way. And the way I found out how to recover from it properly, sure wasn't from them here. A lot of times you can get the official firmware straight from the manufacturer, online. I've been gone 8 to 10 years and what happened? Most of the posts are Ghost-Town status! Back to the point.
I don't see why they can't be universal, really. And it seems as though, that this was overlooked by every single so-called developer out there. How do you make a 64 bit processor with a dual core would be the first clue. You got your phone(modem) and a split partition that the modem may control sometimes but, can be modified. They seem to have decorated the tree, so to speak rather than actually "build" something. Oh it looks nice and all with the tinsel and shinny stuff. But they're in a hurry I guess and missing the reality of it. You can see it with the source code. The story will go that they got a source code, let's say, Android 4.0. Did this, this, this and that and here you go. Woohooo, look what I did. But what did they do? It wasn't really building if you look at it the right way, it's just, decoration. In the beginning you had to stack things, like boxes. one on top of the other. It's kinda like that. Or sideways. Remember the basics. Two core, four core, soon eight. It doesn't really matter when all it is, is some kind of partitioning. What is it all? 64 one way or another. But seperate the two is the first issue. The phones gonna be the phone regardless. Put a switch in for control. Then you're left with the other part to do as you wish. Run a whole different program, on top of the phone program. Eventually you're gonna reach the end of what the phone is capable of. That's a givenIt was remembering the days of TV/VCR repair and how a basic motherboard works. This part controls audio, this part controls video thing. Now you see it? It's the same in an Android isn't it, just smaller of course. And when it dawned on me that this was more than possible and everyone went the other way? Oh boy things are about to get silly around here at XDA. I'm most definately going to take a different look at this now. It wasn't a problem ten years ago once you got the hang of it to flash in a ROM. Everything I see now is. So what happened? Everyone went decorating I guess...

Riiiight chipsets are more about how many GHz the device may use which is usually around 1 to 1.65 GHZ, we want our devices fast. Manufactures? Well they just put the same stuff together in a different way. Drivers and mounts can be put together, same ol USB (with maybe different serials) and even sd card mounts. Really there's not much difference when you look at it as a whole. Refrence

De-bloat, replace some of the apps with more "functional" source built counterparts if/when they are available (MMS/Dialer/etc.), possibly some slight modifications to the framework images to make it look a bit more unified across all X variants.

As per AT&T, that would be dependent on having testers readily available who aren't afraid of taking a trip to RSDville should something go sideways.

Keep in mind also guys that this will be done in my spare time (which I don't have a large amount of) and no ETAs will be given on anything.

Remicks,
A) Yes I am interested!
B) Would you be willing to throw a little education our way? How does one make a Rom safestrap compatible? I am currently using a rooted 4.4 safestrap Rom, with OTA bootloader / safetrap installed. Here is the link http://rootzwiki.com/topic/108826-romsafestrapxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-140455-kitkat/
I was under the impression that using safestrap one could not flash new Kernel, though it seems that is one of the steps for the above link? Is it because it is a digitally signed kernel? Any information would be awesome about how to do this, perhaps I could even help!
Was wondering how hard it would be to port it to our device if there are not much differences

i hear you i tried a bunch of guides but i cant seem to pinpoint where im going wrong plus with the g3 leak of android 5 i wouldn't know where to start there are significant differences such as hardware and key components that need to be striped and customized to work with our device. for that we need the experience of a of senior lvl dev

I'm gonna help everyone out here. The G3 leak will not make it to our device. All the apps are made to work on that 2k even (i.e all the apps have huge images) every app would have to be decompiled individually and resized to fit our screen. Then they would have to be modded (depends on what needed done) to work on our phone. Way to much work and possibly not even possible with kernel, etc that would need done.
As for support unfortunately we dont have many devs due to just not being a popular device and the locked down boot loader. We lost D-FUSE and justinwidebody to the G3, we do have playfulgod who's okay (definitely joking) and i know mattwheat is working on some stuff. When i get time I'm going to get back to working on my g3 themed ROM (some apps already ported by another user just need tweaked), but sadly I'm far from a dev so I won't be much help with big problems like cm11.
I do recommend everyone just jumping in and doing what they can. I started with small theme changes moved to small mods following guides and eventually released my first ROM in the note 2. You really can learn and we'll need all the help we can plus most people here are pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Definitely hear you loud and clear that's was my first assumption but how would it be possible for the g2 to receive a complete port of the ROM from the G3 that cloudfy came out with the g2 has Noway near a the same specs as the g3. That's something that I thought about but even with that said wouldn't it still be possible to exclude the lg apps and just push out everything that is non compatible for our device. But I am still doing some research and learning along the way don't want to release anything until I have a full understanding of what I'm actually doing.

Looking at Cloudys threads i think it's their stock g2 ROM with the g3 apps ported. I'm saying that because all his ports use the same kernel. If it was really 3 different base ROMs that wouldn't work. I could be confused though and completely wrong. If that's the case then that's what I'm working in for us (or will if i ever get time. It won't be to the level of perfection his it's though. One thing to keep mind if that it's the case is its really hard to port apps from a higher version of android. I never said a full port was impossible, just that i highly doubt it happens. I'm pretty sure playfulgod isn't going to do it. I know I'm not even going to try. Not sure about matt or if there's adev hiding in the wings who may give it a go.

Is anybody here who can port G3 rom to G Flex?? anybody help us.
Kintwofan is right. If you're gonna port it needs to be a like brand, like resolution, like CPU / GPU. Makes it so much easier. Decompiling then recompiling and not finding out till its to late that something had an error when recompiling or when signing can be a ***** to find and or recover from late in the game. Or to find out all together that your hours on hours of hard work was for nothing. The g2 is more on our "like" side.

Plus if you're just wanting lollipop apks on your phone. Most google apks have already updated and if not you can always download the 5.0 gapps extract and replace some don't work but most do. I've done it and use the google launcher. Almost has an aosp feel.

Its easier to port g3 Roms to g2 due to all the the screen size (res folders). Going to our device with lower resolution and bigger screen seems like a lot of work. It would be much easier I think to get the android 5.0 SDK images and build aosp from source or wait on cm-12

Cool sounds like a good place to start but even if we do build a asop ROM wouldn't we need a base to get everything working
