Don`t know exactly if it`s possible,maybe any Dev knows this!
What is important to do this,any files etc.I have to remove first
from the CDMA ROM before starting to port?
Any tips?

from what I have read it is not possible to use a CDMA Rom on the GSM version.

I think he gets that... Which is why he is asking if "PORTING" is possible.
Honestly I don't have a clue. I mean, you wouldn't think it would be all that much work. Its most probably a situation where CDMA devs don't have GSM phones and can't really use them to test anything since they aren't able to connect anything. Ya know?
That's my guess anyway.

Exactly. Which is why if someone attempts a port by comparing the CDMA and GSM versions and gets us GSM owners to test it out, who knows might actually get something good
From what I've read, the differences between the sources of each version of the E3D are more significantly different than most would think. Add onto that the fact that the kernel sources provided by HTC for the GSM are currently broken, and I don't think porting at this point to be an easy venture.
Hopefully, when we get working kernel sources for the GSM, we'll see this kind of porting.

What other differences besides the kernel and the radio are there? Could you post a link where you read this?
Seems not easy to port from cdma to gsm.
But not possible if I only try to replace some files (boot.img etc.) from
a stock gsm ROM into the cdma ROM?
There are more things to do?
I´m interested,because only cdma version has MIUI ROM.
Maybe there are other devices (gsm) where I can port from.
Which phone would be the most similar,so I can try to port?

I remember a while back on the OG EVO someone ported the acer liquid ROM, which was a gsm phone. Convince a gsm dev to port the ROM or donate a gsm phone to a US dev so they can test on.
So you mean it`s easier I should try to port a acer liquid ROM
to my evo 3D gsm,because acer liquid is similar to evo 3D?
Maybe HTC Sensation ROMs good too,to start porting?

Hey
My question is rather simple, atleast i think it is... Not really sure though.
How different is a CDMA rom from a GSM rom? I just purchased my Evo 3d (GSM) and it will be arriving the coming wednesday. When will we have a similar amount of roms as the CDMA version of the phone?
Please dont get me wrong, im DEFINETLY not saying I dont appreciate the current GSM dev's. Believe me when I say the second i get my phone, im flashing one of those roms. Im just wondering when I will have more of a choice.
Thanks
P.S. Im a recent captivate user (so im used to alot of roms)
They are night and day in software. That is becuase of the hardware. ( that kinda rymes... ) it is different becuase of the carriers. Another realm, the gsm is just out. Will it have the same amount of roms? Nobody will know..as more developers get gsm, expect to see more. Thank is for sure...just a numbers game and now a waiting game. I am sure some of the cdma developers will port over to gsm also, and as more people get the 3vo in gsm, they most likely will port other gsm roms.

GSM and CDMA are cell signal types. Its like the difference between Diesel and regular Unleaded gasoline. They both power cars, and they're really close to the same thing, but if you use the wrong one, you've f'd over your car. Same thing with the phone. If you flash a CDMA rom on your GSM phone, you've pretty much borked it.
Hardware differences between the 2 phones (The ability to capture different cell signals, Lack of a sim card in CDMA, etc) require different software to run it. Porting should happen pretty quickly for the big roms though, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Ah thanks alot I wasnt sure that GSM was the newer model because I basically bought this phone without really thinking. I called up Rogers *****ing about my captivates GPS and they offered me this and I took it. I cant wait for the devs to get the evo GSM versions. With them.. I think the battery life will go to an entirely new level.
I cannot speak for the gsm, but the CDMA gets darn good battery life, even running stock.
How do i know wich one i have? Or is it a to dum question?

Im not sure if this is correct, but you could give it a shot.
Go into settings > about (or about phone)
somewhere in there it should say
Hello,
So I want to port over some CDMA roms over to my GSM Evo 3D, just to try them out. I have done some porting before mostly porting T-mobile G1 Rom's to the HTC Magic, which was very basic all I had to do was switch the zimage from the G1 rom, to one that was compatible with the htc magic. I wanna try this method with the 3DEvO, but i am unsure if it will work. Do you guys think there are any other software changes that I have to make, or do you guys think there are also hardware differences that would not allow me to port the roms?
If someone can shed some light on this topic, I would greatly appreciate it

there are numerous software changes that need to be made as well. lots of us cdma guys tried porting over the eu 2.3.4 rom but were never successful. never could get the display to work properly.
So, I got myself a GSM version of the Evo 3d. But, as always, htc sense is starting to annoy me... In the CDMA development section there is a "senseless" rom, still in development whatsoever. What would happen if I were to flash it? Would it in any way damage my phone? Hence, I'm not even sure what the difference is between the gsm and the cdma, apart from the radio....
I wouldn't do it, they might be partitioned differently. If it was compatible there wouldn't be two separate dev sections.
This was a reply for same question
might potentially brick your device. Different kernel and drivers are needed and the radios are night and day. Unless the CDMA version is ported to gsm. Don't even try it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
The gsm evo3d is an entirely different beast than the cdma version. Different hboots, different radios, requires a sim card where cdma doesn't. Basically you will break your phone. You will just have to wait until someone develops a gsm rom you like. The problem with porting over a cdma rom is most likely the developer that made the rom doesn't have a gsm phone to test and use so they can't develop for it.

You'll Brick your phone man... Cdma is Cdma! And Gsm is Gsm! The Only way it could be done is if its Ported!
Figures... Anyway, thanks for the answers!
ok i ported a rom from the evo 3d gsm to the cdma audio didnt work wifi didnt work and gps didnt work ... i fixed all of that but i cant find out where the files are in the rom that deem it gsm instead of cdma
help
Interesting.
Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but I think you;'re the first to port a ROM between the CDMA and GSM versions of the EVO 3D. Might want to start a thread in Development and share what you did. This is a much requested operation, especially in the GSM community where we're development is far less active.
lol
yea but the thing is ... i dont know what the hell im doing ... its just a feeble first attempt ... but if i could only find the radio info i think it would be done and working
Did you port the GSM's stock kernel to it?
yes
yes i did ! do you know where i can get a flashable kernal for 2.3.5 for the cdma evo 3d ... sense based
I'm not too familiar with the reasons and the technical stuff. Why isn't there a reliable AOSP ROM for the Rezound? What is it exactly that makes it difficult to develop one?
The ril hasn't been completely worked out for any AOSP roms
It has to do with the way Google has implemented support for CDMA devices. Google doesn't officially support CDMA devices in the Android framework they provide, so its up to device manufacturers (HTC) to create the necessary support and add it in. Right now, the developers who make ROMs are probably tearing apart the recent HTC leaks looking for the bits and pieces they need to put an AOSP ROM together.
It is the LTE that is the problem. Basically any CDMA device can get AOSP no problem but our device has a very complicated radio. It supports CDMA+LTE+EVDO+GSM so it is pretty much hacked together by HTC themselves.
I tell you one thing. The first developer who provides a near perfect working of ICS AOSP is going to get $15 from me.

Not that I know anything about this subject, how did the Thunderbolt get it solved in the end?
the non-Sense development has been disappointing so far, no AOSP and no MIUI....I think the people talking about the ril have it right, if it was LTE that was the problem we'd have AOSP roms out that don't have working LTE like some other phones do

Not sure but it was easier for the bolt cause s-off.
So is it right to assume that if we get full s-off then comes AOSP?
What exactly is s-off?

it's possible but can't really be proven since we literally have full access with the exception to the actual radios when flashing. devs can already view radios to iron out the issues. it's just tricky to solve a scattered puzzle
S-OFF has NOTHING I repeat NOTHING to do with AOSP. The TBOLT had more people working on it and the RIL isn't probably as complicated. They still don't have AOSP ICS working either.
Any developers actively working on this? What would it take for CM to start? Do they need the RIL figured out?

There is an active CM9 Alpha thread in the dev section with updates on where it is.
