Guest Frankish Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I'm not 100% sure on what would be required to port a Sense rom to our Blade but i for one would love the option to run this. Having come from a Desire i have been really impressed with the Blade but sometimes i miss Sense. (When i had the Desire i ran stock android lol) Currently our beautiful little Blade has rock solid 2.2 Froyo roms running, a very stable Cyanogenmod 7 (RC4 is that good for me!) and obviously the Orange 2.1. As far as money goes the Blade is the ONLY contender in the title for budget Android king. It can do so much it even has a partially working Honeycomb build! If any dev can drop some knowledge on me as to weather porting a Sense rom is possible at all and where anyone would even start then that would be great. I think obviously a good start point would be any Sense rom that comes from a device using the same chipset. I am totally clueless though my experience goes as far as apk modding. I'd even be happy with a 2.2 Sense rom! I know of non HTC devices that have at least partially working Sense roms, Galaxy S and it's variants. (Fascinate, Captivate, Vibrant and Epic). Motorola Milestone. Edited March 31, 2011 by Frankish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mannas Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 the problem is that the htc phones with the same chipset as our blade have different screen resolution and the ones with the same resolution have roms bigger than ours system partition.

You can make system partition bigger with TPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frankish Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) there is the wildfire S leaked rom Only problem is that it's mdpi but that is solvable... Also regarding the roms being too large, look at early "new" sense froyo leaks for Desire. (Desire Z and HD dumps) they were too large to fit Desire's system partition so part of the rom was actually set to install straight to an ext partition. The size of a rom is no issue at all there are workarounds. Edited March 31, 2011 by Frankish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ivanko021 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 You guys totally rule! Anyway I'm not sure many people would prefer sense functionality over CM7 speed for example. Is there a way to merge Sense functionality and themes with CM7? I do think that this would be the only sensible decision. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iKrautDroid Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 A sense rom would strike like a thunderbolt! Id be so happy Id dance the cha cha or the tango! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domenico lamberti Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Please do this if possible, i heard something about an app called X-tools or something liek that over at XDA and tat helps you compile ROMs and shizzle and i would just really like a good Sense ROM on my blade, at the moment i use HeLauncher with the slate sense theme, but i switch between that and the normal sense launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0zmic Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) This would be great coming from a Hero. I believe the Legend, Wildfire S and Aria have the same chipset. However, none have the same resolution with the same chipset so the APK's will need to be resized I think. Edited April 17, 2011 by k0zmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fonix232 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Okay, then, let's do some magic, ya know, thunderbolts, etc, and we can drop one together :) BTW, easy-peasy, grab the binary part from an ARMv6 ROM, then the matching version framework and apps from an ARMv7 one, and we are done.

Not that easy xD The Sense ROMs are mahoosive in size. Too big for the Blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Not that easy xD The Sense ROMs are mahoosive in size. Too big for the Blade. And they got them working on the original Desire still...part of the system folder is installed to an ext partition on sdcard...that bit is easy. We have a Sense HD rom on the Motorola Defy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HCDR.Jacob Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I tried porting one for our Blade, it didn't work. Just some points for people looking to port: *You'll need an ARMv6 version (e.g. Wildfire S) *You'll need to add more drawables for hdpi (since HTC ARMv6 devices are all mdpi) *You'll need a *lot* of proprietary stuff added or changed, as well as some binaries built from source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
