Question about porting Rom features - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I had my original evo, there were some roms that had features of another phones is. One room I flashed had landscape rosy. Would it be possible to integrate the hand scroll from the S4 into a Rom for another phone. Our could a HTC sense rom be ported to a non htc phone.

Well the second one of porting a sense rom to a non htc phone is possible because it has been done with the s3 but I am not sure about the other one due to there might be things that are needed specifically for it to work properly.

Well I've made a Sense theme for CM7, so as soon as the Galaxy S2 gets CM7, which I'm sure will happen fast, you can use the theme on it... far easier than porting a sense rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11660869
edit: then again, you still won't have sense app enhancements and stuff, but something is better than nothing right?
why does everyone want this.. the phne is not even out yet.. if you really want sense go buy a htc phone ad quit whinning.
thanks for the theme,
and yeah i do have a htc phone but this samsung galaxy s 2 has the best specs than any htc phone so this phone combined with htc sense will be a beast!
Does any one think this can happen?

Sense is overrated.
Yes you should be able to use HTCs Sence UI because Exynos is using NEON whereas Tegra2 doesnt.
Depends which 1 phones 4 u supplies because there are to versions

Sense is nearly as bad as TouchWiz. AOSP should be (and will be) the goal.

Meh, I was never too fond of Sense. Using my friend's Inspire for a few minutes though, I found that it was nicer than all of the other stock launchers.
I didn't like not being able to edit the total number of screens though.
I too, am interested in this. It gives people options so why not port Sense over? I want to see whether they can port all those cool features over like flipping their phone over to silence a call or ringing louder in a bag.
What about sense 3.0 the sgs2 with the new sense will be amazing

No please not the disney version of sense.
Don't get me wrong, but those colors on the sensation....brrrr..... welcome to disney.
I would really love to see a Sense port but it will be very hard to port it... the only successful ports are for devices with identical specs - example Sense from Desire on Nexus One...
There was a port for the Galaxy S but it had too much things that don't work and were very hard to solve (as Sense and drivers are not open source)...
Loved sense on windows mobile especially combined with the white GTX theme on my hd2,
but can't say I'm a big fan of it on android. Weird, I know, or maybe not so weird,
since I like a minimal clean look better, not screens cluttered with widgets.
Am tied in between in getting a sensation or sgs2 hardware wise galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touch wiz that's why we need a port

I'd like to see a sense port. However only for the sake of having a bigger variety of roms to flash.
I found that when I had my Inspire that Sense was way to bloated for me. I gave it a fair shot but for now I prefer TW over Sense. But AOSP > Any carrier software.
I would just stick with TouchWiz or go for AOSP if possible. Sense looks cool and all, but a port is as easy as it seems. More so, theming will be the solution for time being.

Possible stock Android for unlocked HTC One on DNA?

Will we get the stock Android without Sense from the recently announced unlocked HTC One to the DNA? Is it possible?
The version on the Google edition of the One isn't as stock as you would think. There was an article on XDA about how it isn't recieving updates from Google (instead its coming from htc). As well it is much larger than one would think compared to nexus versions of 4.2. I would say stick with CM10.1 to get the best AOSP experience.
Here is a link yo the article
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-editions-lackluster-or-leading-edge/
Hope this helps you in understanding why some developers will mist likely never want to port the ROM.

Compatible Phones for Jedi Mind Trick ROM

What phones are compatible for the Jedi mind trick ROM? I flashed one to my Galaxy s3 and it hard bricked and I don't want the same for my HOX+ international. So is the Jedi mind trick ROM compatible with the HTC One X+ international running 4.1.1 with sense 4+?
Sent from my HTC One X+(International) using xda premium
No rom is compatible with any other device except the device it was developed for. Look in the android dev section. Is you fave rom there? If not maybe ask the rom devs for a HOX+ version.

I was pretty much looking for a ROM that will take me back to android 4.0.4.

Unfortunately you'll probably have a lot of trouble finding a ROM like that for the X+. By the time it was released JellyBean was already well established, and people don't see a whole lot of use in porting out of date versions of Android to new devices. Which part of JellyBean makes you prefer ICS?
It was the ability to use the blackout beastmode kernel. But I used it twice and it hard bricked both of my galaxy s3

You wouldn't be able to use that kernel anyway. Every single Android device needs a bespoke kernel developed for that device. I don't know about Samsungs, but you won't brick a HTC flashing the wrong kernel... Still don't do it lol

Port rom Htc One

I really love this rom and I wish our dev can port this rom for our DNA

Probably best if you put this in the ROM request forum.

That thread (not forum) is only for AOSP roms. In order to port the rom he's asking for, we need a working 4.2.2 Sense kernel, which joel is working on. The issue with porting 4.2 roms at the moment is that there's a new method for getting the RIL to work, so we're at a stand-still until the HTC One (or similar HTC phone with 4.2) is out on Verizon.

I need opinions and facts about other ROMs for HTC One

I need a comprehensive list of your favorite ROMs and why they are so great. I just flashed the ODEX 4.3 stock today, but HTC Sense just isn't cutting it. I have tried google stock before when I was at version 4.1 but didn't like its lack of settings access as the One doesn't have a native/dedicated settings button.

Read through the Rom threads and try them yourself.

You need to test for yourself. I jumped the cm bandwagon a few times only to find out I miss blinkfeed. Now I pretty much stick to sense Roms. On stock 4.3 odex now. Fw 3.22

Hahaha.... You NEED a COMPREHENSIVE list from us? There's two really big comprehensive lists already available. Check out:
"One Android Development" and
"One Original Android Development"
