[Q] Porting JB ROMs to other devices with similar H/W - HTC Desire X

Hello!
Would it be possible to port one of the Jellybean ROMs available for the Desire X to devices that use the same H/W (the device in question would be the Huawei Ascend G600)? If yes, how would one go about doing it?
Thanks in advance!

You want to port desire x sense jb Rom or aosp ?
Because porting sense would be near impossible
And,
We don't have any jelly bean aosp Rom so nothing to port actually
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app

Either would do, at least in my case - I primarily wish to get Jellybean on my phone. Might I ask why porting Sense-based ROMs would be prohibitively difficult?

I see Sense 4.1 ported to the S III Goodluck with that maybe ask help from that guy in the SIII part of XDA if you want Sense Its very hard because of different sense components especially framework and kernel drivers sense is Hardware dependent based of my knowing

I see. But the reason I posted this question here was because I was under the impression that the Desire X is, in fact, kernel compatible with the G600. Both of them use the same SOC (Qualcomm MSM8225).

They are.
But the fact is, you have nothing to port. YET. Stay tuned, people are working hard.

Sense 4.0 RUU Leaked [from endeavor]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492567
So thanks to forum member capychimp the RUU for the HTC Endeavor has been leaked and soon after the system was dumped.
hopefully we will see a qualcomm based port of this rom sometime soon (as it is currently tegra based and will not function on our devices)
any thoughts?

rumor has it that a few members of xda have already got it running on the sensation (though quite poorly)
i'd suspect it wont be long before we see a plethora of ports.

I really wish i knew how to port stuff it would be nice................
whoever can port this is a helluva dev. different porcessor, hd res, etc. they have their work cut out for them
really disappointed that its gonna be with Nvidia, there are good dont get me wrong, but the lack of dev support they have its not good, had experience with the g2x, and only wrong thing was the nvidia wont release its drivers at all
There's been a Sense ICS ROM for the Sensation for ages, running on a qualcomm CPU. Why hasn't that been ported over?

Because that's a sense 3.6 leak and.doesn't carry many of the 4.0 features.
Many devs are waiting

I would run Sense 3.6 ICS on my device, as I'm sure 99% of the Amaze owners clamoring for ICS would. Have you seen developers post that they could do it but choose to wait? Link plz so I can go badger them (J/K I have ICS on the wife's Sensation and there is really no difference. Sense is Sense is Sense...3, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, all the same 99%)

different style launchers, more features, beats audio integrated, more fluid, some better eye-candy, bliss launcher, new Sense 4.0 is COMPLETELY re-done (app drawer, animations, dual core support "when stable", etc).. im pretty sure 99% is a little off dont you think
Just because they look the some doesnt mean there isn't a difference lol
i'm happy with my amaze and i'm pretty okay about waiting
i am still really looking forward to it
either the aosp build or this

exactly, i would rather have a complete upgrade that was stable and wait a while for it then have a fast update that was buggy out of hell.. If any of you guys had the Atrix you would understand my statement. They released the gingerbread update for it and it made the phone worse because it wasn't greatly optimized, people were nagging on them about releasing it so i guess they got tired of it lol

Who's porting JB Roms?

Anybody know of anyone working on porting some of those international One X Jelly Bean ROMs?
For instance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588669
I've personally been holding off on AOSP ROMs for the EVO LTE because i actually prefer Sense (well, Sense 4.x) and it's more capable Facebook integration.

Im sure someones lookin into it if they can.
It international HOX has a tegra 3 soc instead of the s4 like us and the at&t HOX so its not as easy for devs to port it

HTC devices that might get 4.3 Update

Hey guys!
As you know, the 4.3 Update for the Android is getting closer. But before that you should see the list of HTC devices that have the potential to get the update. Sadly, our precious Desire X might not get it. But it's still not 100% clear. So let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!
Can't believe that the htc one s won't get the update but the htc desire hd ???
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
@AlcatraxSVK where did you get this information?
As far as things go, this looks fake. Why? Because HTC didn't even support the Desire HD to ICS let alone JB or 4.3....
4.3 isnt even out, and as far as we know how htc likes to update older phones, its kinda sure thing dx wont get it (we dont even have 4.2) and that DHD is a laugh
I found it in here: http://androidhryaplikacie.sk/zaria...m-smartfonov-od-htc-ktore-dostanu-android-4-3
But as it's stated in there, the original is from http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...s-that-may-ultimately-get-Android-4.3_id43501
And the list is not official, it might be fake. Who knows.
I guess 4.1 update with full kernel source will be enough for our DX but will be cool if we get the 4.2 or 4.3 update...

+1 for jb update and kernel source and i would really love unoffical 4.2 thats more than enough for me for my humble desire x
With the work of our fellow devs, Desire X can survive for years without an official support from HTC (apart from HW side) with many custom ROMs. :good:

This thread leads nowhere. That list was identified as fake and there is nothing more to be said.

[Q] Tried search first. Why is there no butterfly port 4.2.2

Hey!
Sorry to be asking but I have been wondering this for a couple of weeks now. Why is no port from Butterflies Sense 5 4.2.2 rom and instead we have an HTC ONE port?
Im pretty sure there must be a specific reason but couldnt find it.
Thanks!

I think it was the base for the ports of 4.2.2 for DNA. If it not the ONE has so many similarities that it doesn't really matter. Devs find what they can use from devices that closely resemble others for porting and such. As far as I know 4.2.2 sense 5 was leaked and ported from the Butterfly first, not the ONE. The rom is the same if your looking for sense 5 android 4.2.2 download newts or joelz Roms.
Also, from what I can gather, the Butterfly is a GSM device, while, in the US, the DNA is a CDMA device. That difference means that you can't do a straight port from the Butterfly to the DNA... the Butterfly doesn't have the right code to allow you to use the CDMA network.
However, recent postings in the Original Android Development board not only give us 4.2 for the DNA via CM 10.1, and a working 4.2.2 ROM based on the M7 for the DNA, but also the CM team has gotten 4.3 to work on the DNA! I, personally, am using CM 10.2, though I am having a few issues. Now I just need to get my post count up so I can report them! haha...
don't matter one or butterfly they'll have the same bugs but the htc one will have support for zoe.

If we port from the butterfly, we can't have CDMA or Zoe. I was wondering the same thing, but I asked in Newt's ROM thread and this was the answer I got.

I think that will break your phone. There are tutorials here on rom cooking--look at them.
Also, there is an HTC device that some rom builders have been using to port things from--you'll need to search to find out what it is, as I don't remember.

While the phone's still a powerhouse, it's old, and drivers weren't released to keep the camera working--without a working camera devving stopped. At least I think it was the camera..., anyway, something important was missing, and no one wanted half a functioning phone with kitkat.
Most ICS roms are functioning perfectly and can be flashed. If you have USA version easy, and if you have Asian version, there are special instructions--google the thread. CM is one that was working fine--there are others. Like Viper. And ARHD. Look in their threads to see what works and not.
