How to port sense camera to aosp? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Now. Before everyone jumps all over me for asking this, yes I know it's been asked before. And yes I know it takes lots of work and time. So my question is to the devs or anyone who is knowledgeable about this is, what/where do I start? I know how to decompile apks and find smali. If people would like to help please do. I have many hours over summer break lol so Yea.
Thanks

It will not work. You need the sense framework which is not able to be put into AOSP. If it were, it would have already been done. Same reason there are no sense widgets for AOSP. If we were able to port those things to AOSP, then no one would stick with Sense.

It can be done but it's super tasking. You would need to use a patch Rom service like miui decompile or crack that and place w/e other aosp roms files in and then build.

Step 1: never post in development again. Ever.
Step 2: good luck.
Your theme might not get ported, but at least we won't hear about it.

As a break from the flaming, if you're serious about learning to develop, go to the main XDA development thread and start grabbing the tools. The Kitchen is a must have, apktool, manager, dex2jar, smali/baksmali. Grab a base Rom and start playing with that. Ports are far more involved, so cut your teeth on the basics first.
Good luck.

You will never be able to fully port rom to this phone until RIL is released. End of story

I guess that depends on your definition of port. I'm relatively certain that less than 10% of the system partition in Bamf is thunderbolt. Sounds like a pretty complete "port" to me.

Google Wallet

is there any way we can get google wallet on our amaze? from what ive read around simply installing the apk does not work :\
I'm no dev, but I would guess it needs libs. FWIW
Now that we have root I wonder if any of the devs well cook it in their roms. Google wallet was only suppose to go to sprints nexus s but they managed to make it work for the tmo version.
Well if someone would stop messing around with Sense and build an ASOP we'd have it but the "devs" are working on Sense Roms for some reason...

...since you like using quotes in an obnoxious way, why can't that "someone" be "you" who "devs" us an "AOSP" rom? there's no "reason" you can't "do" it.
Except I have a job I do for a living nor the skills to do it. Thats why. I don't pretend to do something I can't do.

Not quite sure what half what you said is but yes. I'm on his now and actually like it because he kept the Sense camera and all. Except should bring the library over for Google Wallet to work since it wouldn't need the framework unless thats how it communicates with the NFC...

Bump. Wondering if anyone has had any success or heard any updates about google wallet.
Aye, any luck on this? A working Google Wallet would be AMAZING on these phones.
When it comes down to it...what are we missing/what do we need to get this working on the Amaze? Is there anything us n00bs can help out with?
Hey is there any chance the apk from here http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...nfcrel-2.apk&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13242366848021 can be used to help make GW work on our phone? The apk installs and the app runs but crashes when NFC is turned on.

AOSP?

I'm thinking of getting this phone but u hate sense. I was wondering now that it is unlocked what are the chances of getting cm10 or any type of AOSP rom?
Thanks!

If you are looking for a quick fix for aosp, I don't think this is the phone for you. If, however, you are willing to put up with the Sense UI for a while, then you will love this phone.

Definitely hoping to see some AOSP roms come out soon. I think once we manage to get the phone S-OFF we'll see more development come about for the phone *fingers crossed*.
Before we get AOSP, the RIL needs to be cracked.

Radio interface layer. It lets your phones radio and the rest of the phone communicate.

Gotcha. I'm on cm10 sgs3 and it's pretty fast. But u have an upgrade so I might get this but even since it's quad core idk if sense will outdo AOSP. I guess ill be patient and see

Any MIUI dev's?

I know it's early and hard to get too much accomplished with the uniqueness of our device not to mention the s-on issue.
But I'm just curious if anyone has heard any rumor or knows anything about anyone working on a MIUI port.. I'm not expecting much yet as we don't even have any aosp goodness yet. But I thought I'd get the conversation started.

miui can be sense based (though until theres an official jellybean sense build, its tough to make your own patch rom)
i took a swing at getting miui launcher working on our stock build but kinda gave up when something that should have worked right...didnt
i may revisit it after christmas, idk
working on a sense base but theres alot of issues lol
also working on a asop base but i have talked to a few who claim the kernel will never let it boot so im still optimistic about it working but full functional no tell at this point

sorry for bringing up a old thread figured i keep posted
I tried to port it off of the cm10 base but I just got a error 7 in recovery before it would even begin to flash the Rom... Granted my porting was just copying most of the stuff off of a one xl and I just followed a basic tutorialon how to port so it really did not surprise me when it did not boot...

also did you set all of your permissions correct? move all correct files over?and as far as updater-script i will try and put my build on github tonight but as im also thinking of changing to arch linux over ubuntu as im done with the non updating they issue so late lol.
and when ubuntu os is ready you willing to help?
Lol I think I did I really am a noob at linux and developing. I can follow a tutorial real well (which I did with the first attempt at porting but you saw how far I got) I just want to be fully clear with you my experiencecause I don't want you to expect you have a professional working with you. But anyway I think I did. I copied over the permissions from the port rom folder to the base roms folder but I might have missed a few...

arch can be a bit of a task... you gotta set up everything in CLI... i managed to get a GUI up and working... but im stuck at installing the correct video drivers... lol i got vesa working but i need amd/ati drivers also arch uses pacman not apt-get... idk how well arch is with cooking roms and whatnot... idk anybody who uses it to cook
Ok I am about 75 percent done with re building a port I can work with. It should be done tonight... We will see if it boots... I was trying to find a device that had miui that was more similar (nexus 4) but even they do not have a port on it yet... Is miui losing its luster?

it seems to have a bit from what ive seen
miui.us is really slowed down since many device maintainers (i was one on the inc2) have moved on to other stuff and the main site guys are working on chameleon os
i cant speak for miui android and other sites, but i dont see as much press or activity going on for miui in general as in prior years / versions
Im Porting it form the One X version... If anyone thinks there will be any problems with that please tell me now lol before i put more time into it

[Q] aosp roms and bad call quality

I've Looked Around And I Can't Figure Out Why Every Aosp Rom I Flash Gives Me Terrible Call Quality... I'm Completely Up To Date On All My Radios Firmware Etc etc.. I Am Resorting To Asking (Which I Hate To Do) But I Really Would Rather Run AospThan Sense. Btw I'm Dev Unlocked With Moonshine s-off. Currently Running MeanBean.
And I Don't Understand But Swype In Forums Seems To Caps Every Word...

First off thank you very much. I did that and it seemed to help but people still say I'm loud but not muffled anymore. Any other tweaks I can make to get it a little better??
I'm in a really good LTE area BTW just down the street from the kc sprint campus. So I'm pretty sure it's not signal based.
