HTC Wildfire S has ARMv6 processor, and MIUI is made for phones with ARMv7 processors.. So no MIUI for us

That's nonsense.
its not about the processor......its about the HUGE resizing which is main pain in the butt..........you do know ICS is meant for ARMv7 and above processors but it is running quite smooth on my friend's Wildfire.....
MIUI is the most good looking rom for any android phone. It would be great if we manage to port it to hdpa screen.

My mistake, didn't know that MIUI is open source now.. but just like csoulr666 said.. there is huge resizing and it requires lot of knowelge about programming.. it would be great if somebody ports it to ours wilfire s
First Miui ROM coming soon
I did it, I worked about 20 hours to port miui onto our phones
Alpha test comes soon!
I wont port it to WFS, I hate resizing, I had it to do a lot already in HenseMod for the custom theming.
For MIUI there's also a special framework, like htcresources.apk, which makes it difficult to port to WFS.
However, I've got some things in my mind and on my mac, expect end next week a flashable zip for CM7 users to turn your phone into MIUI.

Mine's an A510a and it's GSM with SIM.
Could this be the reason why porting to metro pcs phones requires more work? Or is this just a little miss understanding?

I really don't know, as I don't do much developing. I leave that to the pros.
However, I am willing to test anything on this phone just to get rid of HTC Sense. I have an LG Optimus M I can always fall back on.
I will also say that MetroPCS is a CDMA only carrier, and the original WFS required a SIM card and ours does not. Maybe they got HTC to modify the phone for them?
But the phone manual says its an A510a. insink made a MetroPCS stock ROM with a2sd support and that's what I'm currently using, and it was even labeled for A510a only.
Ill be kinda upset if I just bought a phone that's impossible to develop ROMS on lol
Sent from my HTC-PG762 using XDA App
Apologies. I just left the MetroPCS store, paying my bill. I inquired about my phone being an A510a. They told me that my phone manual isn't correct, and that it is indeed an A510c.
Again, I was misinformed. And I apologise.

Hello xda members, trolls and devs. As you may or may not know I am a developer of my roms and stuff for the wildfire s. My internet has been down recently so I have been making ideas for new stuff through the long days of boredom.
Heres a list of stuff I'm working on that is wfs related
- Sense 4
- A new ROM called DRAGONROM
- AOKP
- Work on fixing minor bugs in .sense
Here's the list of stuff I will/will probably do:
- Make another AOSP based ROM
- Create a kernel family called soulengine S/I/G
- Build a CM 9 nightly
- Fix Danny's problem
Here's the list of what I'm considering to do:
None atm
Here's a list of things that I don't want to do:
- Port touchwiz
I will only do the above once my ISP fixes up my internet and when have enough free time. Oh and feel free to ask me to do something, and I will add it to the list.

I will stop modding/theming/making ROMS for a while. ICS is hating me
Got some problems with apktool etc.
Two things I tried myself but couldn't do (due to above reason and cant make CM9 nightlies).
Sense 4 Multitask
WP7 Multitask
Would like to see them on CM9 and MIUI
But you can always ask me for something on the WFSDev site
I will keep it up to date, ...
This may be of interest to you.
Look forward to your work mate
Sense 3 3D
PLEASE! make the sense 3 3d stuff in a rom, with the marquee transition, the lockscreen spin and the cool animated locks like facebook and the weather!!OMG you would be so cool if you did that. +100,000,000,000..... dev points if you do it!
Stopped and added a few projects. See op. Please note that I always have about 10 projects being worked on at once at any time, this means if something doesn't work and I get annoyed with it I am likely to stop that project until I can be bothered starting it again.

Guys,
I know there are many posts like this, but to be clear some of those who prefer to stick to desire rather than one x are hoping for sense 4 including me. Unfortunately shaky discontinued his work and no one is interested so I speak for those sense 4 fanatics that we hope this project is continued again, no ETAs no nagging.

I guess some things are too much of a trouble for the devs, think audio was the main issue apart from other stuff of course. And yeah, let it go dude there are already decent ICS roms out there if u want ICS... Btw if you plan on investing in a decent budget phone with Sense 4 I would suggest the One V - bought it for my girlfriend a few months ago and she loves it! And to be quite honest it simply delivers - it is very smooth and fluid, you get the whole sense 4 experience with a very few corners cut, being a few animations here and there and the helicopter view.
I think we can port desire V rom to desire,the spec of desire v is similar than desire

TBH this forum seems a bit lonely... and my EpicParts question was easily abandoned
Whatever, greetings and happy new year to every one out there!
Today I happen to dig out a Sense 4 ROM for our E4G which boots, doesn't reboot THAT often and is resized well (what, you want links? I think that's a private workspace and maybe I shouldn't tell). But what bugs me most is that SystemUI (statusbar) always FCs for no reason and I can't do anything with that.
So here I got a HTC Incredible S ("vivo", which is the port base for our Sense 2.1 ROM) with a fully-functional Sense 4.1 build. Everything's working and things are better sized for WVGA. And it's smooth. Considering it's a single core device, I think there is already no obstacle blocking the port (I know that Sense4All project paused because One X is a quad core device and gets all sorts of reboots. Correct me if I'm wrong).
Thus, I wanna ask, as a non-coding noob:
1) Is porting process the same as common tutorials (copying frameworks, libs, etc)?
2) If not, is this even possible (to have Sense 4.1 ported from vivo)?
3) If not, again, what can I do to improve my current build on hand (i.e. simply stopping the SystemUI FC and maybe adding more HWA)? I don't intend to use the ROM as a daily driver... Just a tool for showing off
So... Thanks again for reading the thread and hope you can offer some guidance

If there was a stable version of Sense 2.1 or 4.0, it would be my daily driver. I really hope this project isn't abandoned.

2.1 is already very usable apart from BT (nah I don't use that), but many devs have already left or are silent. Must be with their new toys. That's why I'm trying to help. If I had time in winter vacation I'll try a bit, but hope not too high
And so I need some guidance and answers... Please. Even one answer will do.

I do want to, but I'm not a code dev and know almost nothing except that "brute-force" porting method, and I don't know whether that will work.
I mean, here I got a fully working Sense 4 build on a SINGLE-CORE device, so is this a proof that porting to us is also possible?

But... I said
1) We HAD a now paused project that has ported Sense 4 and made it boot
2) I have a better Sense 4 base ROM (for our device, not HTC's) at hand with fewer random FCs
3) xboxfanj said that the port reboots because One X is quad core, and the ROM will keep searching for the extra cores. But IncS is single core and runs that beautifully (its port is based on One V and Desire X)
And that's why I'm seeking answers.

Part of the problem is that we couldn't port qualcomm roms which would be stable if they booted, but we never got it booting. Tegra is all intercoded into libs and looks for kernel files we don't have which causes it to reboot and be unstable.

And this means all my expectes efforts should be in vain, huh?
But check this, I got a Sense 4 ROM from marcusant's site and it's a port from Desire Z, based on One V seemingly. So far apart from all the hardware issues (wifi, cam, sensor), only thing that prevented me from sticking to it is that SystemUI often FCs. And I think that is another base to start on, since IT'S QUALCOMM.

Is that so? There are two items in About Phone indicating phone model. One of them says "HTC One V", which I think is the port source, while the other says "HTC Desire Z", which is the device ported to I assume. I know that these can be modded, but why the hell does anyone take the trouble to mod it to Desire Z when we are Epic 4G? Thus I think it's a Qualcomm port.
Have you looked into it yet? Or maybe it's really your work and you know about it?

I agree that it could be a very good opportunity, im just saying dont get your hopes up i suppose :/ we just about got got 4.1.2 from this dev here . alot of the "main players" have moved on from this device and i dont think we would have the skill to manage this. to start off with we would need a 3.4 kernel i believe, and i dont think they re-introduced support for non gpu devices in 4.3 kitkat so we would need to implement all the hacks that were required to get ics running and port them over to kitkat.
its a nice idea, but to be honest i think the amount of hours it would need to make it function may not actually work towards a stable daily driver

We are waiting for Android KitKat to be released, we need a device that has a QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels
AFAIK it would run without a 3.4 or even a 3.8 kernel. But the current 2.6 kernel would slow it down. Only very experienced devs can make properly working kernels. And we have almost no 'real' "i build from source" dev left in this forum. (not offensive, i appreciate the work of any dev/porter/whatever here )
4.1 is also running fine with that old arco - kernel but its really slow maybe because of the hardware maybe because of the kernel. I think its a mix of both components.
I tried with @kylon to get a functioning overclock kernel for the htc wildfire bee, (cdma device) and we couldn't manage to get it stable, and that's the buzz's sister phone. It shares almost all the same hardware :/ so I don't think it will be an easy task.

Just my 2p worth but doesn't kitkat and the kernel associated with it look for integrated GPU's which the wildfire simply doesn't have, so if someone was to create a kernel for kitkat you would have to emulate a GPU on the CPU which would slow down the phone to a unusable piece of crap.
Good idea but i doubt it's viable.

Agreed. Ics barely ran without the kernel hacks to make it run. Though it is said that kitkat should be less resource hungry.

Yeah but did ICS have no GPU support? If it did then try porting the ICS hacks to KitKat and see how it goes.

While it's possible I have no idea what hacks were done to make it work. We needed kernel hacks for gingerbread.... The only one that would definitely know would be Arco, as he was the kernel developer for the buzz branch of cyanogenmod. I think most of the work on cm7 and 9 were arcos work, with some help from the guys here of course
