[Q] Porting from View to Flyer and Vice Versa - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Aside from CDMA vs GSM radios, how close in hardware are the other components in the devices?
They look to be exactly same specs...
So, I guess I'm wondering how hard it'd be to port LeeDroid's Awesome HC ROM for the Flyer to the View. I've ported Sense ROMs in the past, but it's been a while. =-) I have several Views and a Flyer.
My logic behind this is simply for his excellent phone functionality and the mods he's done on HC to make it work. And, since I'm certain the radio IS crippled in our View, I'd only be using it for outgoing cellular calls.
Any devs have any input?

I know the differences in the cell side of it.
I meant porting the ROM from one device to the other. I have both devices, the P510E (GSM T-Mo flyer) and a View.
LeeDroid's excellent HoneyComb ROM has full phone support via speakerphone. I want to port it to the View, with his permission of course.
SO: are they exactly the same device, other than the Cellular Radios?

HTC Evo 3d sense ui

I have read that the bluetooth stack is not same as og evo. I am curious if anyone had info on this. If it its true it might and I stress might allow us to use bt devices such as wii or ps3 controllers. Now with full hdmi mirroring this could make for the ultimate gaming phone for those into emulation. What are ur thoughts?

Sheer joy, if it's true.
Any knowledge or opinions would be much appreciated.

i use a wiimote on my evo4g now. Just have to run an AOSP rom not SENSE.
I love the idea of emulating from my phone like I do now, playing Final Fantasy 3/6, 7, Tactics with a wiimote is already epic on the phone, couldn't imagine on a huge TV so easily now too. I ned a tv worth it though.
I have not found any custom roms I trust enough to void my warranty for. I have ran cm6 and cm7 and I did like them but as many phones as I have went through especially my hero last year ill stick with stock sense and hope evo 3d will allow such bt devices such as wii or ps3 remotes to work

what does the thread title and the OP have to do with each other?
The Evo 4G supports bluetooth profiles like A2DP for wireless stereo headsets, and FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfers. But when it comes to connecting an interface device, it does not support bluetooth HID (human interface device) profiles. It only supports SPP (serial port protocal).
Which is why things like the MSI BGP100, and the FreedomPro Keyboard work with it. Both of these devices use SPP bluetooth profiles. Drivers were created and released in the market, and a stock Evo 4G can connect to these.
Everyone blamed the HTC Sense interface for why we couldn't connect HID devices, (Wii Mote, and several keyboards, mice, etc). Which is why the OP mentions Sense 3D, because he still thinks it was sense that did it. It wasn't actually Sense that did it. HTC just never built bluetooth HID profiles into the phone.
AOSP roms don't have sense, but they are also built from ground 0, so they have HID profiles built into them. A lot of people have mistakenly thought that it was taking Sense completely out, that brought bluetooth HID back in, but it was really just coincidence.
For example, iPhones don't come with HID profiles, but someone in Cydia released an app that alters the bluetooth stack for you, and adds additional profiles. Theoretically, someone could have done this for the Evo 4G, but no one has yet.
That being said, I have seen several sites, including HTC's own, showing bluetooth HID under the specs for the Evo 3D. This isn't something I was ever able to find for the Evo 4G.
Don't quote me on it, but I am banking on all the WiiMote apps, bluetooth keyboard apps, and any other bluetooth input device, working properly with the Evo 3D right out of the box.
Thank you bradley. that is exactly what I was curious about. u answered my question and educated me at same time. that was much appreciated.

Bluetooth stack support wiimotes?

There was some speculation after the initial announcement that the evo 3d's bluetooth stack would support bluetooth hid and hence wiimotes. I looked at htc's site and don't see hid support mentioned. This is very important to me especially in the light that we may not be able to put cm7, which has a fully functional bluetooth stack, on the evo 3d.
Is there any way to tell from any of the system dumps if the evo 3d supports hid?
Anyone comment? I had originally seen something showing it did have it, on HTC's own site, but it has since been taken down.
It's a dealbreaker for me.
Who knows if this site has their facts straight, but it's shown here with BT HID. http://www.phonerated.com/cell-phone.php?phone=htc+evo+3d
I wonder what the problem is!?
Is this fixable by going AOSP route?
Or Honeycomb?
Or do we have to wait for icecream sandwich... it's just sad what a downgrade in usability features e3d is from the evo og.

The og evo didn't support wiimotes out of the box either. Wiimotes would work on cm6/7 and possibly other aosp roms as well. Htc is still using a crippled bluetooth stack on the evo 3d. Once cm7 is released for the 3d I'm sure it will support wiimotes though.

HTC BlueZ bluetooth stack won't even work with cars that have BT 2.x, ie, all cars older than 2010.

Roms on the 2 devices?

Alright, I know this will sound weird but I have my reasons for asking:
Is it possible a flyer rom would run on the Evo View? I know it seems unlikely but the only difference -should- be the CDMA radio and a few kernel files missing for the CDMA / Wimax radio but aside from that there should be no difference. So is it possible to run a Flyer rom on my evo view 4G? I know some devices with similar architecture can run the same roms (My friend had a device that was able to run Desire roms) just need to know if I can run one of the honeycomb flyer roms.
When I first got the view I thought they would run the same Rome but apparently not. I used to have a xoom and both the wifi and the lte version both used the same Rome so I don't know why that's not the situation here
Thanks for the info.

Bluetooth Stack

Currently I have an E4GT, and my BT works great. I can connect my S9-HDs, PS3 controller, wii-mote without a hitch.
This wasn't the case with my OGEvo, the audio would cut in and out, and I couldn't connect any controllers without being on CM.
Is there any info about the BT stack on the 4G LTE? I'm asking here because I assume that it's different that in the OneX, if I'm incorrect let me know and I'll ask over there.
It looks like it has many more profiles then og 4G. I saw some has a wiimote paired with one x (although it is laggy)

I think they'll probably have the same stack. WiiMotes work fine with my One X, I didn't have trouble with latency. My Phonejoy also works fine. PS3 controllers work with Root via Sixaxis app, although I'm presently locked to stock while reviewing the handset for Telecom NZ, so haven't personally confirmed that.
Bluetooth audio should be much better, since BT 4.0 has much higher bandwidth for audio streaming (although the receiving device may end up being the bottle neck). If you have a receiving device that is also Apt-X capable then the audio will be excellent, basically the same as wired up to around 370kbps (the Samsung HS3000 is cheap, versatile, and has Apt-X).

I just read on another thread that our EVO does not have BT 4.0. Does the One X have it though?

Really? I'd be surprised if it didn't, since all the other One series phones do (maybe not the One V, but the others at any rate).
Yes, the international One X has BT 4.0

Just add E4GLTE and any other phone then select connectivity towards the bottom of the page. It says Bluetooth 3.0+

This is what the build.prop from the latest Jewel leak says:
Code:
# system property for Bluetooth Hardware information
ro.product.bluetooth=4.0
That suggests BT 4.0 to me.
Hope my icontrolpad works with it. From these comments it looks like it should. I like stock but a huge reason I want this phone is to run emulators on that awesome screen and have it propped up nice on that kickstand during my lunch hour.
I've already bought the Sixaxis app from the Play Store as I use that with my PS3 controller on my Prime. Would be great if it really does work on the Evo LTE as I wouldn't even have to spend any more cash.

Motorola Radios -> Ubuntu Touch

What would be the best way to get communication between the radios (CDMA) and the operating system?
I ask this since after all the Ubuntu Touch operating system is based upon Android.
Or is it mostly because the RIL's (Radio Interface Link) are proprietary to Android?
This is mostly just a question why it hasn't been integrated yet amongst the community for *any* device regardless of what radio (CDMA or GSM) a device has.
It'd be nice to try something new but I still have to have my phone as a phone lol.
