Can someone explain the use of two development threads? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

In the main forum there is a "Sprint HTC One Android Development" and a "Sprint HTC One Original Android Development" which means Roms are split into two different places. What do these forums separate out?
edit: Err I meant forums in the title.

Apparently if a Rom has LOTS of original work put in by the developers it goes in the original section

It is to mainly segregate between source built and ported or themed Roms. Source built Roms need a lot of preliminary effort and most themed and ported roms are based on them. Also source built roms tend to be more stable than ports.

This is pretty much what I thought it was for as well... It seems to be pretty subjective though. Most of the Sense ROMs are pretty similar in their features, but some make it to 'Original' and some don't... I still haven't figured out where that line is drawn.

The line is drawn on whether you own the ROM you are distributing. If it is based on someone elses rom, then it goes in Android Dev. If its your own rom that you made from scratch, it goes in Original Dev.

Stable Sense UI Rom????

Hey guys I'm new to the Nexus One Forums....what's the most stable sense ui rom????

There is no complete and functional Sense ROM for the last 1/2 year.
The only fully functional ROM was a port of Desire by eViL D:, called NXSense.
There were several Sense ROMs since then, some better, some worse, none fully functional. You might not miss the lacking functionality, depends on your needs - so I suggest you go to Developers section, search there, read, try and find what suits you.

Cyanogenmod 9 or aosp/aokp

I haven't rooted yet but I keep thinking I'll do it when cm9/aosp/aokp comes out for the device, that is if it's still in development. Anyone still working on it? I found a thread discussing it but the thread seemed to have turned into a huge cat fight and then it got locked

I just put aokp on my HTC flyer, and while it still needs a lot of work, man it is beautiful. And its 4.04, not the buggy "beta" 4.03 that's on the vivid

Those beta ROM's you're talking about are just Sense ROM's ported from the Sensation with many Sense parts removed. AOSP based ROM's such as CM9 and AOKP are currently being worked on. The Vivid has many unique aspects that make it more difficult to work with, e.g. our RIL, HTC's crappy job with source. That's why it's taking longer for things to be released.
No this one is aokp, check the flyer forum. It took the developer forever to figure out a graphic issue, and he finally did it, now him and another developer are making progress fast. There are ports as you say but this one isnt, there is no "sense" whatsoever with that rom.
Anyway I'm not asking for an eta, i just am wondering if any developer or developers are working on it?

[22/6][AOKP] ICS Lisbon for HTC Flyer – 1.2 – CODENAME REMEMBERTHIS
Sent from my HTC Vivid using the XDA app
NOOB QUESTION!! What's AOKP?
I'm a VIVID HOLIC!!
Its a KANG build. I don't quite fully understand it myself, but I think its basically an a seperate rom based off CM sources.
At any rate to sum it up anything that's cyanogenmod, AOSP (Android open source project) or AOKP (Android open KANG Project) is going to be based off google source code, and closer to stock android and typically won't feature any Touchwiz, Sense, or motoblur apps.
Thanks! I knew about AOSP but I've been away from Android for a bit and since I've been back there's been some new things lol. I didn't know what AOKP was or even Kang but you've cleared that up for me

I'm was talking about the DeSensed, AOSP-like ROM's for the Vivid, I don't know anything about the Flyer. And yes work is being done on nearly a daily basis. You can track progress at the dev's git:

Sorry I misunderstood you. Yeah I am aware the aosp styled roms on the vivid are stock roms with sense removed. I'd love to help out though I don't know a whole lot about development. How hard is it to learn?

Hello guys,
This thread, is intended for you to meet the members of team ReVoluTioN, and perhaps ask questions, requests and all that stuff contained inside one thread.

I removed quick settings today and installed this under the stock SystemUI.apk, it is much more elegant and the transition is supersmooth without the clutter.
Although it is not a perfect solution since below JB it is not possible to disable the status bar icon of Notification Toggle, only make it invisible as you can see on the 2nd screenshot (a gap from the left), but still it is more slick then it was. You can even download Sense icon pack within the app - which I guess could be used to change the icons on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139048
For sensed Revolution, it would be nice to see both versions in Aroma

The solution is intall that as on the SystemUi.apk, on the native files with XML(or other, i don´t know that)
You can see the code from a Touchwith ROM or a LG UI3.0 Rom(LG OPtimus L5 for example)
Do you mean the gap on the top left in the status bar can be eliminated or something else, I didn't get it sorry.

Jaizu,
it isn't that easy to add extra code to a app, there is more than just dragging and dropping mate. If it was that easy, we would have alot more in revolution than what we currently have. I am having problems de-compiling apks, and also compiling them in linux, if any one has a solution for this please tell me.
I have had to compile some apps in a VM with windows XP, for now but I would rather not do that lol.
I understand having requests, but you have to remember we can't work all the time on the Rom, due to other things needing to go on.
What issues are you running into (what errors) and is this on MINT?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
I have a GUI for my adb interface, however I can't decompile HTC stuff properly on MINT I can't work out why. I can build my ROMs in Linux, which is very fast. I am using XP in a virtual machine but would like a solution for my decompile issues and re compile ones too, I have all the CM source and HTC kernel source which I might try a new kernel out on, but I can't think of how I can get apktool to work. The APIs decompile and compile again on XP with no issues but not on Linux? I have all the dependies installed including all the updates, java is also there three versions one for the kitchen, one for mine craft it runs better, and the other is recommended for android app development. Now I have tried apktool 1.5.2 and that also fails, any ideas guys I can use the VM of XP for a while but it is a hassle really because it us so much easier doing it all in one place. So any suggestions guys? I might work it out, its really annoying though lol
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
The errors relate to back smali files and the resource files when compiling, decompile works sometimes but not all the time. If I due compile the apk then compile the same thing on mint it will fail no matter what, whereas on XP it never does.

I'll see if I can recreate the problem a little later tonight, and if I can I'll see what we can do to get it working for you.

Cleanrom scott's ROM

Is there a specific reason why CleanRom hasn't been posted in the dev section? I am using cleanrom developer edition.. AOSP and Sense combination and it is unbelievable. got 13000 on Quadrant, Keeps Sense camera and gallery and has Vanilla JB feel (besides settings) also has back button hold for menu, Jellybean style lockscreen, advance power menu with nice icons. A real winner imo. Only things missing for my needs are IR blaster software which it says is coming, and batt %. He also has a stock style sense cleanrom
I don't believe he's working on HTC anymore he switched to the galaxy s4

Get a stock rom. Use Rom cleaner from android dev section and remove sense. Go to general android dev section Search for build.prop tweaks. Pack it all. Sign your Rom. Flash it . Voilaaa u have your own Cleanrom. and as a bonus you can go ask for recognised developer title too. Win win situation.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Scott's ROM's are discussed thoroughly on the AT&T One forums. Then he switched to Verizon (coverage issues where he lives I seem to recall?) and ceased all work on AT&T versions.
If the AT&T forums get merged with these forums you'll see a little more discussion I suppose..

[request] PA Halo in HTC Sense 5

hello! PA Halo is an open source projekt and it is being integranted in many AOSP Roms. Is there any way to port Halo to a Htc Sense 5 rom?
I think many people would love to see this in Sense

Nope, AOSP is coded differently to Sense5. Meaning the code doesn't just work and requires a lot of rewriting ect.
I believe halo had to be built in when your building aroma from source and since devs don't build sense from source it can't be built in.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
if you really want Halo you can use PAC rom or PA itself because they are both really stable right now (have used both of them) but obsessively you lose a couple of sense features (i dont mind lol). But most likely Halo will never be on sense, but there is an app in the play store that makes your notification like that, but I have never tried it.
You will never see HALO in any non AOSP ROM. That's something you can count on.
I like how the guy asked something, not knowing the extent of what would be needed to actually do it, and gets a dozen "nope!"
I'm assuming he got the gist and didn't needed 30 chime-ins

Try floating notification..is near the same
Have a look at Floating Notifications in the Play Store. Reasonably similar in principle but doesn't open a smaller window of the app.

no one wants halo on sense .. do we?
While I think it would be a serious challenge, I'm not sure it'd actually be impossible. Miui builds based on OEM roms work on the same principle as what would need to be done to put halo into a sense build.
Additionally I think that the xposed module could be a big part of making this happen..
That being said, it's certainly not something I could do.
It's not impossible per se. But would take mountains of work as sense roms don't get built from source. So you can't merge it the ui and java edits needed.
