Yes, BUT there needs to be additional tweaking to make it boot

Doubt it
Sensation and Amaze have a lot less in common than you think

Well, I know that, but it seems that the MIUI porting guide doesn't involve a lot of hardware changes, just several folder changes that won't really affect the processor/screen/etc.

[Q] Help in porting sense to sense??

Okay i need help. I used the guide for porting sense to other sense devices, and followed it exactly. I modified the updater-script and everything, but the problem is the kernel i think. The sense for the Mytouch 4G (Glacier) is 2.3 and the HTC Evo 3D doesnt have any sense 2.3 kernels, only 3.0 and above. Can I use the stock 3VO kernel (sense 3.0) on a sense 2.3 rom or am I going to have to get someone to port a sense 2.3 kernel to the 3VO.? thanks guys
Try it out and let us know.

You can use 3.0 kernels on 3.5 Sense ROMs so I don't see why not. Like I said give it a try and let us know.

lol, you have to be joking... i lol'd. not picking on you, just thought that was sarcasm. good show brother.
to the OP....
you can't just flash kernels to different devices. it is not that simple. kernels contain drivers that are hardware specific to that device. so unless you have two devices that are exactly identical in drivers and kernel modules (never seen that before...) you will brick the device.
flashing software that is not meant for a particular device (a port) is a tricky thing to do and takes a lot more work that just reading a two page tutorial.
like this guy said.... try it... and let us know..... ? lol.... i would really advise against attempting this unless you are very familiar with linux kernels, C++ coding, java... etc...

[Q] Port in Rom's?

Now that we have S-off on the Amaze, is it possible to go to the sensation page and grab some roms out of there? I know they have some differences but can some tweaks be made?

That depends on your tastes. I'm on Mazda's aokp, viper ROM is a very nice and customizable sense 4.1, and drops frozen ROM is a very nicely themed sense 4.1. Those are the three I've been rotating between recently.

Depends on if you want AOSP or Sense, to begin with. Stock Sense would obviously be the most stable. There are a lot of great kernels in the CDMA section for both.
I personally find the DisarmedToaster CM10 ROM to be the most stable (if you want Jelly Bean/AOSP) in combination with the ButteredToast kernel. There are a few other ROMs and kernels, though.
Preferred ROM/kernel combination seems to vary a lot around here, though.
I don't think there would be any harm in trying multiple ROMs and kernels to see what you like. After all, it really comes down to what you personally feel works the best when it comes to Android. Just be sure to make back-ups before flashing

Stable Rom for HTC evo v
Most stable for me was mobsters hd lite Rom with anthrax kernal. It's nice because you don't need to be s off if you flash the Rom with 4ext. And just flash the kernel right after you flash the Rom.

Most evo vs roms aren't here. They are on androidforum.com. I run harmonia by Leslie Ann . have not had anything not work since day one. It is ICS with sense 3.6. A lot of roms out there have broken 4g , 3d camera and MMS . this rom is the closest thing to stock . u can even run control bear on it to gain s-off

A little off topic I saw that you got S-off by revolutionary io. When I went to their website, they did not list htc evo v (CDMA) as a device which can use their tool for S-off. Did you use it anyway?

Bro, you are on the same boat as me. But dont worry, this device will get everything once we get cm9/10 to boot. Lloir/Atis/Claudy/myself/cobje/Nervgas and others are contributing to AOSP project.

The Incredible S has a fully working MIUI and doesn't have a fully working CM or any other AOSP. It is made on a base of stock 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6, so it has Sense Camera application and Sense Input keyboard. While CM still uses 2.x kernel and has problems with camera and some other stuff, MIUI uses stock HTC kernel (3.x) and can work with any other custom based on that.
I think that something similar can be made for our device, but I'm not a developer.

What makes the Ville C2 superior to the Sensation? I thought the Sensation has the closest hardware specs, and judging by the number of projects, it seems to have a more vibrant and active developer base. Please elaborate.
Senstaion is older htc ville c2 is the closest hardware and most sense ports here are from htc one execpt htc radar its mostly the same i dont know why dont we port from there and i posted this before and posting it again our hardware is APQ8060 but on here it is written we have got a msm8260 i dont know why

I have ported from the VilleC2, Sensation, and Shooteru (GSM EVO 3D).
I would say the Sensation is the easiest to port from because it is literally the Amaze but with less RAM. Second comes the EVO 3D because it's also very similar to the Amaze, it's also ICS and Sense 3.6 based like the Sensation.
The VilleC2 is good as well, but software-wise it's not as similar ad the other ones. Now that we have a 3.4 kernel we'll see how this turns out.
Don't bother fussing over the processor, these phones are pretty similar hardware wise as well, the VilleC2 has the edge here because it was updated by HTC. All of them are dual core.
There is another phone to port from, the Totem (HTC ONE VX). I'll probably port something from here later on.

If you read through the threads you'll see that @SuperAfnan is already well plugged-in.to the project. They have a history of cooperation that long precedes the release of this ROM.

I also seen v5 sense based for it to just don't feel like hunting link down. Not everything is here on xda buddy. Google is your friend people use it befor trying to make me look like a idiot please thankyou.
And for working together on one Rom that's cool don't have problem with that but I want sense miui I want key word just willing to share work.

i agree with this..reason we didnt release our own roms...black russian has all the base portings according to kernel..the main reason i released this cuz so everyone can contribute toward getting the fixes done more quickly..once we get a stable build..then everyone can start sense 5 or any porting..just not now or else every rom will be broken and incomplete..

I'll second that. The kernel still needs some tweaks. And Ravike and I were hoping that a fresh set of eyes on this would help get us past some hurdles.
There's a lot of editing that's going to need to be done on a few things.
We used the totem because the mounting worked the best. Once we better at working with the vold files and can manipulate them perfectly with the other roms we might rebase the Rom.
But for now, this is a good start.
