Hello guys,
So first of all, I know "why didn't you bought the hardware from the manufacturer you like" blabla. I love the S6E but what I also love is the HTC software. So my question, is IT eventually possible to port completly a manufacturer Rom?
I found some Tutorials and also trying them out right now. But have also some concerns about a hardbrick or eventually a complete phone kill. How possible might this scenario be? If we assume I port everything properly?
Thanks in advance :good:
No because of alot of them are coded for the hardware and drivers built by the oem.
Thank you very much for your reply !

Is possible use Android Rom from HTC Tattoo? In the future. Ofcourse. Becouse hardware is similar as hardware from touchcruise.
No way!
Greetings
why?
could you please elaborate "no way"? What is the obstacle? I am sure may of us would love to see Iolite with Android.
Thanks

because porting android needs a lot of rewritting the drivers and how to speak to youre phones hardware
and even the great phones like my blackstone dont have android running
and they are trying to acomplish that for over a half year now
and many other huge phones dont have a working android for there phone
and it arnt that many people here with the iolite so i think we dont have programmer how can make it for us ive it would ever be accomplished on other phones
best regards

I don´t can better say this.

HI!
Sorry for stupid questions...but I dont understand why someone should write new driver? Hardware are (almost) the same. Why you can't use tattoo's drivers without changing?
Best Regards!

well its like putting diesel in a benzine car
its booth fuell but will brick if you take the wrong one for youre car
You have a kind of alternative called Androkidd.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540428

Lamenting over my hard-bricked SGP 4.0, a pretty naive thought occurred to me, that is, what if the so-called internal SD card really is a "card" and can be replaced? Of course not, but I had to see it myself, so I just disassembled it and took some photos of the internals. SGP 4.0 US is pretty easy to disassemble, I guess, and here are a few photos (with S/N airbrushed). My hardware assembly experience is back in early 90s, so it won't apply to modern day assembly technologies at all, but it looks like the Toshiba is the internal SD memory chip (wonder why Samsung uses Toshiba flash chip for its memory?). I didn't peel off the sticker, but the chip under the white sticker looks like the CPU. Near the presumably Toshiba flash chip, there does seem to be a socket for an external programmer, so I guess if I can get this to a service center (like in Korea), I guess they might be able to reflash the internal flash memory chip using their programmer device, but it's purely my totally naive imagination. Anyone have some comments? Anyway, enjoy!
Also, I didn't want to start another thread for this, but I'm wondering if anyone could point me to the right direction about the ICS port going on in the development board for SGP 5.0 US? I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I'm finding that the dialer is missing there (is it that ICS totally is without a dialer? I doubt so), and seeing a player like SGP as a VoIP device, I think it's still important to still have a dialer. I can't yet post a question there as a noob, so I'm wondering if someone could see this and convey this comment to the developers there. I'd also love to try tinkering with the sources, build the rom image and try those with my SGPs. I'll probably first try to do it with ambrice's CM7 for SGP 5.0 US, and if I can get any assistance or advice from anyone, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all your great work!
Nice post! But sorry to hear that your player got hard bricked.
I have noticed that you have both versions if the players. If you truly have no use for your 4.0 anymore, maybe you could consider donating it to a dev who specializes in hardware (like adamoutler or someone else?)? I'm sure he or someone else could make good use of your device, and maybe possibly even prevent your situation from happening to someone else in the future with an unbrickable mod. Or maybe some experienced dev could unbrick it and come help with the ics progress... We certainly do need all the devs we can get.
Again, this is just a suggestion; I hope I didn't sound selfish or anything.

I'd be happy to follow your suggestion (and you don't sound selfish at all), but unfortunately the device is not my personal property, not at my disposal... Sorry... Maybe I should revive my old-days hardware experience and try to make some contribution with this... Thanks.
Hi guys, after spending ages clicking around, and not being able to find my answer, (I don't know, maybe I am just really, really thick) I was wondering if anyone would know which models of phone with the MTK6589 mainboard are interchangeable. That is, i have read about how many phones with these boards are aesthetically different, however contain the same camera and screen and what not. I was wondering, therefore, if there were any custom ROMs out there that would work with my POMP W89, that perhaps don't explicitly mention being compatible with this phone. I have things ready to go to port my own firmware to it, but I was wondering if perhaps someone already had?
Hi everyone,
First thanks to the XDA community I'm new here, even if I know and use XDA forum for a while, and you have been always so helpful!
So I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305), actually running CyanogenMod. I have been looking for tuts or help, in order to port the UBUNTU Touch on my device (I'm quite a noob^^), but with no success... :-/ Apparently things are almost completed for the i9300, but nothing for the i9305, which would be quite different if I'm right...
Is there any news, or any projects to port Ubuntu on this device?
I'm not an expert, but I'll be happy to help in any possible way, for porting Ubuntu Touch to i9305. I know this device is popular (like other the S3 models), and I'm also sure this would be useful for a lot of people!
Thx in advance for your answers and your help (and sorry if my english is not so good...)!
Did you find a way for the Galaxy s4 i9500
Hi, here it is about the S3, which porting project seems to be, like for the S4, more or less abandoned... It is sad and I would be pleased to know the reasons, and if it is possible to "restart" at least some of those projects.
Anyone ?
Dont think so bud
Pretty sure very few currently unsupported or older devices will get ports, what few devs are available will work on more relevant devices. Time for a new phone..
Yes, apparently porting projects are mostly abandoned... That's sad I think, according to the still important part of potential adopters (like me ) who still have their "old" flagships, and do not necessarily want to buy a new expensive phone, at this point of the Ubuntu mobile OS evolution.... but maybe I'm the only one thinking that way?
Hallo guys,

I found some Tutorials and also trying them out right now. But have also some concerns about a hardbrick or eventually a complete phone kill. How possible might this scenario be? If we assume I port everything properly?
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi seitzik
Thanks for asking.
There are some software portions you won't be able to handle as they intensively interact with the hardware you have, which harware itself isn't portable
Modem & Booloader you probably wont be able to mess with in anyway.
Recovery & Kernel can be customized indeed but not as far as from an alien Manufacturer.
EDIT: The above pieces of software are the ones that could lead to a brick so be careful.
What leaves you with System ( / <- root and forward). Within system there are a LOT (I mean it ... a lot) of binary libraries that interact directly with devices sensors and their absence would, at least, disable its functions.
The other way around would be true ... HTC apps would require their own libraries that would not find the associated hardware necessary to work properly.
IMHO, seems I huge and painful endeavour.
EDIT: if one were interested in the looks of HTC, there are some launchers over there that could bring it closer to you.
But, as it seems, you already dressed XDA T-Shrit "DIY" and, as so, please keep us updated.
Have fun.

Thank you very much for your reply!
