Hey everyone, well done on rooting the jetstream/puccini. I have a few questions regarding the ROMs for this tablet. Basically if possible there's going to be an attempt to port this ROM to the HP touchpad since the insides are nearly the same.
1) Is it possible to remove/modify the radio components since this is a 4G LTE tablet and ours is WiFi only.
2) what's the smallest the ROM file size can become because we'll have to boot it alongside WebOS.
3) I'm assuming honeycomb 3.2 has the resizing tools to adjust to different screen sizes right?
I thought I'd ask it here since the devs who're working with the Jetstream are here. If not then this can be moved.
All responses appreciated, and if someone wouldn't mind helping port it over, that'd be great
hi please help me. I have waiting htc puccini ATT room 1.17 ????

Is it possible to do this?
If so can someone please help me. The main disadvantage i believe is the lack of apps but the interface is great.
Cheers!
Yes, can it be done?
Hi, I am also interested in this. After so many years of HTC I dumped them just because I couldn't find an android device that suited my needs. HTC Mozart seemed so nice, but it lost its appeal when released only on WM7.
Nope, no go. You'd need access to the bootloader and then from there it would still take quite some time. I say either swap it or get used to the awesomeness that is WP7
Why not just go for the likes of the Incredible S or Desire HD - better specs and they run Android out the box.
But if you do want to get Android onto the Mozart, this isn't the section to discuss it in.
This might be a pretty noob question, and I want to assure everyone that I have searched for an answer on a bunch of threads to no avail:
Is it possible to port a Galaxy ROM to a phone like the EVO 3D? I hear nothing but good things about the Galaxy phones, and am curious to try them out without actually purchasing one. So is it possible to do so? I'm thinking not, since I haven't seen any such ROMS out there, but either way I'd like to know why or why not. If it IS possible, can anyone direct me to an appropriate ROM (or theme/launcher at least)?
Thank you so much for your help, and I apologize if this is a noob question that has been answered before- XDA is a world of it's own, so it's easy to miss a thread or two!
It IS possible, but as I have never seen one, you would have to do it from scratch, which normally takes teams of people weeks or months to get working correctly.

Generally, one of the common issues when porting ROMs are the difference in radio between CDMA and GSM. Using a galaxy device on the same radio as the EVO 3D device would be a good starting point, but would require a bit of work.
Off the top of my head, the major issues I'd forsee would be with the kernel/drivers, Android libraries and Android frameworks.
Either way, would be a very time consuming project and not sure the outcome would be very beneficial.
Your original goal was to expercience the Galaxy device, which you've heard is popular. In my opinion, the best way to do this would be to demo a Galaxy device as opposed to loading the Galaxy version of the Android OS onto a EVO 3D.
One reason the Galaxy devices are popular is Samsung as made them available across the world on many many carriers, while the EVO 3D has had a very limited release audience in comparison.
Hope that helps!
Hello there fellow XDA members!
(SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION. JUST FELT LIKE IT WENT HERE)
I just joined XDA after following this fourm for a while. Several devices have been in my possession including Sprint's LG Optimus S, Verizon's Samsung Continuum, and AT&T's LG Thrill 4G/Optimus 3D. The O3D or Thrill 4G is in my possession currently. I have unlocked it and am going to use it on SIMPLE Mobile. But that's not the question here.
The question is....
Is there any possible way to port ICS Source code to mine and other people's O3D/Thrill 4G? Is it even ABLE to run ICS? If so then what do I need to do? I am already compiling ICS from Source as am I writing this thread. Where do I start? My main focuses with this port is getting the basic functionality out of the ROM such as booting up, hardware working, etc. I can worry about the calling, WiFi, bluetooth, and all that other stuff later. Right now I just want to be able to port ICS to the O3D.
Sooo is it possible? Any devs want to shed some light here?
Thank you in advance,

Hi there,
I just got a XT910 and this forum seems to be covering only for the brand new version on it, and could not find a forum here about my device so I kinda feel canned as this website have been very useful for me for my HTC a while ago
All I want to do is to be able to back up my GB as I really like this version of it, its indeed really neat. I'm keen to install ICS but only if I can make it to work out a dual boot situation at some point as BMM wont install (see my other thread).
So yeah if anyone can help either way by giving me an address for a friendly XT910 forum or some article that could help me acheve what I want to do that would be ace!!
Thanks in advance.

This is a xt910 forum.
We have the xt912 as well because it is basically the same phone... Just different battery. All the roms you see here also work on your phone.
Now on to your question.
GB and ICS multiboot is NOT possible. Once you are on ics you can't go back to GB. It's due to our locked bootloader.
That being said: ics and now jellybean are much better than GB. I really would advise you to upgrade but that's just my opinion.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please make sure you post all questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

Thanks fellows and sorry about the mispost,
So dual if dual boot is only possible between JB and ICS what is the point having a dual boot
I have seen many videos showing Android 4.x.x, had it installed on my HTC a few times and always curled back to 2.x.x mainly because of the graphic interface that I personally find horrid. The Motorola graphic designers really did a good job on this GB and it's quiet fast too.
If you have anything that would make me change my mind toward the new Android, feel free to let me know..
Saying that, if I choose to keep my original OS but would like to be able to perform backups, I'm not sure how to achieve this as Clockwork Recovery does not seem to be working straight away.
Any help welcome>>

I would really appreciate some help with a project that I am hoping to start soon. I would REALLY like to get Sense launcher (Rosie) working on a non-HTC phone, specifically the ZTE Force 4g. I am asking for help from Droid Incredible 4g devs, because of the similarity of the platforms.
Both phones are MSM8690, both LTE, both 1GB ram, both are stock ICS 4.0.3.
What I don't know is how well this might go. That's where I need your expertise!
You see, I am sort of an HTC junkie. My last 4 phones were HTC's and I am very used to the Sense UI. There is not a whole lot of development going on for my phone (you can check it out on androidforums.com in the ZTE Force 4G - All Things Root forum).. Basically there is a CM10 port which lacks bluetooth and wifi capability, the stock rom, a rooted debloated stock rom (DroidForce, which is nice btw, and what I plan to use for a base). Also, a JB rom which is so new that pretty much nothing works. The Kernel sources for my phone JUST got released, and many are using the matrix kernel ported from the Avid. I feel that it would be good to add a little variety for ZTE Force users, and if I can bring together a Sense modded ROM for the community it would be nice.
Yes, I know that Sense is not often ported to other platforms due to the difficulty, and this thread will hopefully help me assess the doability of the project.
My first question, for those of you in the know, is what is the kernel version of the first stock rom on Droid Incredible 4g? If it is 3.0.8 then that is another thing that these phones share in common.
My first Sense related question is also about the kernel. Are there dependencies (modules, whatever) in the HTC kernel that are required for sense to work? I have read that there may be but have not seen this confirmed.
Next question would be about the screen resolution. The Force 4g is 480x800 while Incredible 4G is 540x960, both are 4". If this did theoretically make it to the point of testing, will the launcher screens and icons scale automatically, or will each graphic have to be resized? If resized, how complicated would that get?
Aside from the possibility of kernel dependencies, the next most important question is, "What exactly do I need?" This is where I would probably need the most help from you guys. If this is even possible to attempt, I don't know which frameworks I would need to add, what apks and files to rip from the Incredible 4g rom. All of the very detailed stuff which I know some of you guys know, I will need to learn.
I know probably most of you might possibly think that this idea is dumb and just say "Buy an HTC", but because of budgetary constraints I could not get a 4g HTC and use it on my carrier (Boost btw). I have the HTC Evo design 4G and it was on Boost but it's WiMax and we all know that is a dead duck.
So is anyone willing to give me some answers to the questions above? If there is a possibility of this working (any version of Sense would be fine) then I would greatly appreciate some guidance! I'd really rather not go the route of another launcher skinned like sense. That seems lame to me. Plus, I dig a challenge!
Thanks for taking the time to read and I thank you in advance for any responses!
Cheers!

Guess I'll just dive into this on my own..
Wish me luck?
