PORT Sense to another phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , i have 1 question can it be work if i port a Sense rom to my honor 8 ?
beacouse i love the Sense ui and the look i will be great if i see a sene rom for my phone
When you know the HTC HD2 and they have done to make a windows phone to an android phone with a lot of roms like Sense,Miui,AOKP, or PAC man rom then
at can be done with another one

The problem is, that it is really hard to build ROMs for devices with Kirin Chipset, because Huawei won't release any helpful source code. We can be lucky that they released some Kernel sources for several devices. Some honor and Huawei devices are nearly the same and ROMs that are build for one device, work on others with the same Chipset as well, so go and look if you find any, I think the OpenKirin released something for the honor 8/ the Huawei version. Just search your Chipset here on xda, you should find something. But there won't be a Sense ROM, I'm pretty sure.
EDIT: There is RROS available for your device!
You have to follow every single instruction, or some features won't work. That's probably everything you will get for that device.

Simple answer is no. Sense like TouchWiz and all other oem distros rely on their own frameworks files that are closed Sourced and only compatible with their devices.
As for the HD 2. That was the last great device of its kind with a really open bootloader.

That's great @AKA_Noodle. I used to own the Galaxy i9003 and have experience in testing ROMs, customizing, boat ware removal etc. for 10 months. I have just bought a Desire V yesterday and this is my first HTC. I am getting to know the difference.
I have followed your post and am going to ROOT the phone in a couple of days. I am giving my stock 7 days for the just in case hardware issues with my handset. Post that I will unlock the bootloader and free my device. I am ready for testing and development.
And by the way,
Congratulations to all. We finally have a dedicated thread for our phone.
Thanks @AKA_Noodle, i use the European Rom, great
Guys,
I don't own this device, but I'm interested in developing for it.
I believe I could try to port a ROM or two from the desire X to this device, if anyone would test it.
The only thing I need to know is: do you guys have android 4.0.4 or 4.0.3?

4.0.3

Thanks. I hope that little difference doesn't affect the ROM.
I don't have time in this week, but I'll try to get you guys a ROM next week.

I'm interested with HTC Desire V Rom Development. And I will first make CM10, then MIUI, etc. I'm following the tutorials at XDA.
Finally i have device tree ready for HTC DESIRE V The next task is to download sources for CM9 ( takes a hell lot of time :/ ) and start working on it, hopefully with community's help, it will be completed
i will be uploading the device tree soon, so anyone can help me building it..
I'm waiting for that CM9, because all other ROMs I tried are disappointing. I posted here earlier a version for Baidu ROM but turns out that was also buggish.
So, please someone make a Cyanogenmod for this phone.
yeah... please develop a CM9/10 version for this dual sim phone ///
Until today, i still can't find an easy way to root my device. LOL!

I did some snooping - it turns out that it's buggish because we are using the nightly builds version of the Baidu . The official version is V4:

I know, but my version was from that stable one, which is based on version 27. Still it had some "things" because for Baidu stable not means final, it's a project in developement. I guess, if no one develop a CM for our device we'll have to wait for some final Baidu.
One other thing is that they develop Baidu to integrate with their service (let's not forget that Baidu is Google for China), and it will be more suitable to users from China .
Too bad that HTC couldn't release a ROM without bugs. Baidu, even in beta, didn't restart my phone randomly like HTC rom did (stock version too), and I have a friend with Wildfire stock, unrooted, untouched which do the same. Maybe it is something with HTC rom platform, I don't know.
I don't think it is hardware, because if it was, Baidu would restart too.
For developement
I just finished to try every single open source of android to make a new build for this phone and my conclusion is not good.
HTC announced that this phone will not get JellyBean - understandable 1 single core processor, 512 MB Ram, not enough.
That will be a huge obstacle in order to get Paranoid, PAC or Slimbean to this phone - they mentain those sources now only for jellybean. Or for jellybean, we need a new kernel to support that. And even so, we can not know if it will work - poor phone specs.
Cyanogenmod doesn't support DualSim, and I bought this phone for that function only.
MIUI doesn't support DualSim either - I know there are a lot of dualsim phones with MIUI, but these are ported not compiled from source - and MIUI source isn't public (what they have on github is a patch tool, wich doesn't work very well, especially with HTC phones which are more difficult).
LewaOS has a source open on github, but is only for Gingerbread - if they upgrade this it will be our best alternative, because LewaOS is a very stable, fast and reliable ROM, and works well even in low specs phones. Baidu ROM seems to be at the begining some port of LewaOS (I still found some mediatek references in baidu, and mediatek is the main processor for Lewa).
So, we're stuck with Sense...

[Q] Android L Preview boot.img

Note: This is my first time trying to port or build a ROM for my phone, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
I want to try to port the preview from the Nexus 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/lpv-79-mako-port-beta-t2807446) and I am trying to achieve this by using defcondev's tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442593).
The third step of the process is to swap out the N4 boot.img with an OG boot.img. Would I be able to use a KitKat boot.img or would it have to be specifically designed for the L preview? If it has to be specifically built for L how would I be able to obtain it?
I'm just an everyday Joe with absolutely no programming knowledge trying to port L to my phone.
BTW I haven't seen anything about L for this phone, is no one else as excited for L as I am?
Thanks in advance!

I may be wrong dut heard that since 4.4+ appears it's much harder to port roms from nexus 4 without major changes, almost impossible...

Well I guess the hard working devs will port it over soon enough, KitKat until then.
At least porting kitkat will be a great progress, and then may be possible L porting

actually i had tried doing that.but on my broadband connection syncing from git using the tutorial at google was very difficult.went on for many days and still i couldnt get source downloaded and syncd.used command to pick up latest branch.still failed.that why i thought about this way.Do you think the porting as i mentioned above ia possible.specially the cross porting using 5.1.1 base to port a marshmallow aosp made for nexus 5x or even one plus one bacon

sorry to disturb but i go this idea based on this video here
How to Port a Custom Rom to your Android Smartphone
would have posted the link but i am not being allowed to
Well try syncing some source and build.. You can't just port it.. Maybe the tutorial is about different kinda ROMs like MIUI
Try slim.. It's little less.. Still you've to spent 20-30GB
Send from my OnePlus X
the video i spoke about was to port pac man rom uaing cm as the basefor galaxy grand 2.however the guy said that we need the porting rom to be of a similary spexed device.
that had got me wondering if i can port aosp and that too cross porting where the base remains a 5.1.1 cm made for one plus x.
i would have loved developing from source but my crappy internet will never allow me to
Try OxygenOS as base.. It's completely for OpX and you can add features etc.
Send from my OnePlus X
ok so i will use:-
1.aosp 6 marshmallow made for some device ,or nexus 5x rom
2.oxygen os 2.1.3-x as base
i hope thats fine.will update here if i succeed
you will definietly not succeed.

Have to give him points for trying though. Good luck sand87ch
I am in a similar situation. I read infinite articles, millions of videos (not literally) but I still didn't get my answer. I am trying to build AOSP from Source for onyx, already synced Source code but now I want to know what changes I should be making in order to get working device tree, kernel tree, vendor, common and other things for AOSP 7.0? I have sources of CM14 but I don't know what exactly to do and no one seems to like helping out noobs with potential to learn (at least I think that about myself but again, sorry if this question is stupid)

Cyanogenmod ROM mipad 2

Does anyone know if a cyanogenmod rom for mipad 2 is available?

Dear Developers and Hackers of XDA,
I just bought this tablet. I looked around on the MIUI forum for MI Pad 2 and see that there are ways to root a developer MIUI ROM for this tablet. I also see that there are also instructions to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. I am big fan of Cyanogemod and am hoping to have it on the tablet. Has anybody tried and/succeeded to port Cyanogenmod to this tablet?
Hoping for the best
Sincerely
dspati
Hi dEvasEnApati I'm in your situation! I hope to recive news as soon as possible because i want to install cyano!
Xda dev have you got some news?
Hi,
Following the instructions from the miui forum I managed to unlock the bootloader, root , install TWRP and AOSP rom. I was wondering what are the requirements to have a cyanogen mod for it? Are there CMs for devices with intel x86_64 hardware?
I'll get my mipad 2 soon! I think in a week or two then I'll Start heavy development on it ? i think of aosp is possible cm will be possible too :] I'll keep u guys updated
Hi Nailyouh,
Thank you very much for doing this!
Maybe this may help: As paul_ro21 mentioned, a working AOSP rom, which was most probably developed by Xiaomi is available on the miui forums. I have it on my mi pad 2 as well and it's working fine. I am looking forward to a CM rom for this tablet and I will be happy to help with testing!
Sincerely
dspati

Im too tired with stupid MIUI on this awesome tablet :
Stupid ram management, it has 2gb ram but it cannot run multi-tasking !
Im facing a big Problem i was not aware about..the Kernel of the MiPad2 is not open source so we are pretty f**ed by xiaomi. In fact the Kernel source has to be released but xiaomi don't care about Copyright infringements. I regret the decision buying this Tab. I like the Dualboot thingy and the aosp Rom runs smooth as butter but without the source we'll stuck on 5.1.1. really sad if you ask me, the Tablet is really beautyful and I love the outstanding Display. I'll try to figure around with the kernel from the aosp Rom next week I'll keep u informend and will make a thread if I suceed.
Cheers

It has been a looong time since I knew about those things but if I remember your base ROM should have that same Android version as your port ROM.
And if you want an advice, please consider building a ROM from source. Troubleshooting is hell with ported ROMs. Building ROM is scary because it has commands that you don't know yet, but it's way more easy than porting. Trust me.
Here is a guide on how to build ROM from source :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
@XdaNeko
It's NOT the version of Android what does matter. If that would be the case then an upgrade via OTA never would be possible.
A Stock ROM always at 100% matches phone's hardware ( CPU, GPU, RAM, storage memory, etc.pp ) - it's built by OEM's / Carrier's R&D department, the guys who know best of.
Whereas a Custom ROM necessarily does NOT because it gets built by 3rd-party companies/programmers associations - who think they can do it better, but don't always have the specific Android device at hand.
