Hi guys!
Since two days I'm trying to create a ROM based on HTC Sense, porting from HTC Desire to our Nexus One using, as a base, the RCADSmixHD ROM.
I've been able to complete the entire package .zip and installing succesfully, BUT at reboot I'm stuck at the Nexus logo...
Do you think it's a kernel-related issue?
I really don't have any other ideas...
EDIT: I'd also like to know how to develop/modify a kernel for our Nexus One, but based on HTC roms... Someone has guides/links?
Try to Flash this Kernel: 2.6.35.6-eViL--10-7--1-wmcfg by eViL D:
You can find dl link here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16995049&postcount=2
I had problems with the kernel include in RCADS on my N1
Thanks but no changes here... BTW the kernel included in RCADS rom works with my Nexus.. But here in this new ROM that I'm trying to develop I don't know what's wrong...
My guess there's something wrong with the ROM itself you probably have a few lines of code somewhere that are not working right. Were you able to compile the code on your computer?
Well, actually I'm trying to port a Sense ROM from HTC Desire with 250mb fit into /system/... I think that's the problem because my Nexus One could have bad blocks and/or less space into /system/, so this ROM wouldn't fit. I think so.
Regarding the code, I haven't written any kind of code, apart from looking at updater-script to be ok... Other suggestions? Thanks anyway, much appreciated
Now I'm trying to port a different ROM, the Desire S Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0!
But after replacing many folders and files from a Sense Rom of the Nexus One and the target Sense Rom that I'm developing, I have replaced boot.img and edited the updater-script properly (I think).
After installation, it's stuck at the Nexus logo... always!
What's wrong????????
Look at your logcat.
And at your /proc/kmsg.
If you don't know what these 2 mean - read up on those, use some googling.
If you can't - I believe you won't be able to develop anything worthy, or anything at all.
Moreover, Nexus has 145MB on /system partition. You need to utilize SD-EXT partition and symlink parts of the ROM to make it fit.
If I'm speaking Chinese and you can't figure it out - read the previous paragraph
From your posts I can't detrmine if you are developing or just trying to flash the rom to your phone, since you haven't done any coding. Am I misunderstanding?

You're right, because I'm not coding for a completely new ROM..
I'm just trying to "assemble" different pieces of ROMs together, a porting!
The only thing to "code" is the updater-script (or update-script)...
I have some errors there and I can't really determine why certain things goes wrong.. for now I don't have full knowledge of system partitions of Android.
And now I don't have enough time to fully explore this complex world
I have just tried for a couple of days...

What did you add to the updater-script? And which folders specifically did you replace and change? And did you use a rooted ROM or the OTA one for the desire?
@Ace42:
Hi, I had used a rooted ROM from the Desire thread and I have followed this pretty useful guide which illustrates how to port Sense Roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
I have also had a look at almost all the files into each folders to see if there was differences in the code between the 2 roms..!
BTW the problem is in the updater-script...
For example I'm not able to mount "sd-ext", which is one of the most important steps to do for the Rom to being able to run into the device.
Look at that link properly, porting sense to OTHER SENSE DEVICES.
N1 isn't a sense device.
First, porting is more than replacing your boot.img and changing your update-script.
Like the other user said, you need to symlink files to your SD card cause N1 just isn't big enough.
Second, you're taking roms from other devices, most probably you'd have to re-write or mod the drivers.
Third, Porting just isn't that easy.
@illuminarias:
-> I know that, and in fact N1 becomes a Sense device when it has a Sense rom already installed... so it can be compared with other Sense devices.
-> I also know that we must symlink files, and you do that by adding lines of code into the updater-script (or update-script)!
-> If no one starts from something, how do you think that development for N1 can continue??

I'm sorry but personally I love HTC Sense, not a-bad-copy-of-iPhone such as MIUI.
And since now I don't have money to change the device, I'll stick with this for other time.
Cheers

Yes, the same for me. I Love my nexus one with sense. Currently i also working on a gb sense rom for my nexus. Update Script is done and system should fit now with 151mb into the nexus rom. I ll will try to install & boot it at the weekend. Base was the currrent 2.3.3 Desire Release... Hopefully it fits into the small system and boots , to get logcats to work with...
If someone want to help & try, please contact me. I can upload the rom then to test. Currently i don´t have a lot of time , maybe together we get a working release...
@Deep-Knight:
Yep, I was working yesterday evening with the official Desire gingerbread update from HTC, but, as always, I'm stuck at the Nexus logo, after the installation is done... :/
I think I'm doing something wrong with system partition.. I know that our N1 can handle only 150mb for /system...
But I must admit that I'm using almost the same updater-script and boot.img as the N1Sensation v0.5 rom or RCADSmixHD rom..

Just make a thread and upload your beta version, theres a plenty of people here able to test and help.
Thank you Menelkir for your interest!
But first I'll have to create something useful.. Maybe later on I'll create a new thread..
Till now I'm using some HTC Desire's ROM from the dedicated section here at XDA.
Stay tuned guys
As always graphical glithces will not be solved, until HTC releases Desire's Source Code..
The code is released already.
Unfortunately, the real trouble with porting ROMs is fixing the things that don't work - which will include trackball, hotspot etc - and this is the part where most of ROMs fail, because very few developers are skilled enough for that.
Is it possible to port the HTC sense messaging app over to STOCK ICS ASOP rom ?
Doubt it, you need the Sense frameworks for it to work
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?
If you place sense frameworks files in the folder, and use it for apps to recall. ?
Don't think so... you might have to ask someone else as ny knowledge is kinda limited with this sorta stuff

No This is not an option. As stated Sense needs HTC framework, jar files and drivers to work. AOSP and CM roms are coded differently with different files, jars, and drivers. So it is not possible. If you want Sense features then use a Sense rom.
I bought this 32 GB HTC One T-Mobile phone which is unlocked, and will be here in a few days. It IS an M7, right? It has rooted stock firmware (not sure if Sense or AOSP) but will probably flash a custom ROM. I read up on the Google Edition bootloader/recovery, and read Vomer's guide as well. I'm not sure if I need to do the whole GE process before I flash a GE ROM, or which GE/AOSP ROM I should go with. It seems like most of them are Sense, so which ones are AOSP?
The one original android development forum is the asop Roms .
There are GE versions that will work with your current setup. The only reason to "convert to the GE version is for official ota updates.

The what? Oh, you mean the ORIGINAL One forums has AOSP ROMs? How do you tell the difference between the original One and the 2013 model?
How often are there OTA updates? Those are usually compiled into current custom ROMs, right?
In the case of the HTC One, would Sense be better over AOSP (not just because of the camera)? It would seem there are more Sense-based ROMs than AOKP/AOSP ones. I also see a few Sense/GE ROMs. What exactly does that mean? Is it just Sense with the additional AOSP settings and options? If I wanted the best camera, should I just stick with Sense?

There is a android dev and there is an original dev. Read up on the stickies and you'll get an explanation, after you read ask questions with direction so users won't have to type up 2-3 paragraphs explaining everything out .

Stock Sense 5 is very good. You can try AOSP ROMs and see if you don't miss the Sense features. The camera app has been ported to AOSP if I remember well so you don't loose Zoe/Highlights.
I'm stock and haven't planned on going o AOSP or other custom ROMs because I'm more than happy with Sense 5, except some things here and there, but the same can be said about any other ROM. the one thing I change was the launcher. It's good, but not as flexible as Nova, specially for adding more columns/rows to home screens.
Hello XDA,i have a pretty neat idea about the new 4.3 update for i9300.What if someone let's say i try to port i9300's 4.3 update (Stock update) and make it a custom rom (or stock rom).Would that be possible?If yes,how?
PS:I mean by porting by bringing all the features for TouchWiz and things like that.I know there is CM 10.x for 4.3 but i'm not trying to stick to Classic google update,i enjoy the TouchWiz(not a fan,but i just like it more than Standard black menu and stuff).I remember from reading some posts that for porting you need to delete the FM Radio,CMDMA (or something like that),etc.I'm just curious why it doesn't port over i9305,don't flame me,i'm a newbie to development would be just like a tutorial for n00bs.
Stock update I9300 has been pulled due to problems .
Development tutorials etc you start in the Android Development Forum .

I know,i'm asking something else.I'm asking what if we port the germany update+china kernel (i've read and they're the best combo) and port it over to i9305?
I think porting the Korean update would make much more sense - especially as the inverse port has already been done, as documented in a YouTube video. Perhaps adding light effect & other goodies from the new AT&T update (if the Korean one doesn't have them).

That would be amazingly great,though nobody would port it over.I don't know how,because i'm a user,not a dev,if i would learn i would've ported 4.2 by now even 4.3 .I've seen it's easy because you need to delete some stuff,so yeah.(I'm just saying,don't drop the bomb).
Someone please explain this to me why there is no custom ROM with latest build of android(4.4.4) and with Sony's apps and theme, is it impossible? Why not to import Z2 ROM to Z and have 4.4.4 with latest goodies?
Sony's themes run off a custom framework and their apps also rely on frameworks/files only found in stock roms.
It would be very difficult if not impossible to achieve what you're talking about.

Back in the days I had an HTC Diamond, and it was amazing all the import that devs did for that phone, apps, new windows versions, everything they imported for it, I miss such a community. Pity
