I understand why you set these rules and I totaly respect them. But looking back @ some other 'dev' topics you will see that most forum members will ignore, forget or wont reed these rules and you, or other members will spend time and effort in pointing out the 'rules' to those who post useless reply's.

Time you could better spend in this project ;-)

I'll stop the offtopic now, good luck!!

Dev offer

Well as a developer i would like to step in and participate on portine HTC sense on our galaxy S II. I am experienced in C# programming (i know, i know... no use on this project), experienced in Java programming, and middle experienced in C/C++ programming... So if you want me in just let me know.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
You are most welcome to join, mate. We can meet up on the IRC channel and then discuss the development there, right now the development is going a bit slow because of very limited time, but with more developers joining in, the things can start rushing up!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
We have a bootloop :D, Booted almost to Boot Animation, changing libs and bins
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
apha build 0.2 soon :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
-----------------------
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
Designgears, could you please upload the changes you made to the rom, here. I think this way it would be easier for everyone to see them. Since due to different times, we are not able to meet up on irc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:
Forgive me if i cant ask, i have seen your posts.

Alpha 0.2 - What is in the changelog??

I believe many developers would like to know and follow the progress, perhaps we can assist you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] avetny:
Alpha 0.1- bootloop

Alpha 0.2- bootloop after bootloop !:D

just kidding :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
Hahaha.....at least we tried :d
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
May I suggest you come in contact with the guys who ported Sense 3 on the Desire HD/Z?I think rmk,flemmard,diamondback and the others are more than able to help.Since you contacted RCTeam(capychimp and robocik) it's more than good as they have cooperated before from what I remember. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] punshkin:
Forgive me my stupid question but how comes, that porting sense3.0 to sense 2 devices is so much easier than to non sense devices?

Do sense roms share a base or sth?

I remember my self, back in the day when I wanted sense 3.0 so badly!! But now that I got to try the htc sensation for 10 days (and straight away go back to the samsung galaxy s2), found that it was really bloated....So I don't think it is worth it....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WebghostDK:
Could be that it runs better on a x2 phone, or not. Its worth a try imo
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globiboulga:
Well, I'll be getting a One X... Bloated or not, Sense is actually adding quite a few nifty things to the Android experience. I find it more polished and refined; certainly than TW (although I thing Samsung media players are the best around) and by a margin than even ASOP ICS.

I just don't "dig" the turn taking since Honeycomb; although I have to admit ICS is a pleasure on a tablet.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] germandude68:
Honestly, I went from the SGS2 to the Sensation XE about a month ago to see the Sense experience and it's just not worth the hassle to port it. Just because of some cool Widgets and some better looking UI, its still not worth it. Waiting for the One X! :-P

Just close this thread finally.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mr.Greg:
I would like to see htc sense on sgs2, I flashed a htc rom with htc sense 3.5 on my old htc hd2, and it's look amazing, also lock screen with weather animation, very nice. Keep up you work;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
Still nothing with development... Anyway:

Not really a base. But it's one step further like an update. Libs and stuff are mostly compatible. We have nothing. Just trying to boot and then ironing all bugs out which will be an enormous list.

(Not sure as always about the stuff what I am saying but it is an answer ^^)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 1xinfusion:
How is it possible to send this thread to XDA news so that it can get mentioned in either XDA tv or front page? I think this relates to development because if we can get front page exposure it will definitely increase developer interest.

EDIT:

well.. I've been here on XDA and I've seen development happen. This has got to be one of the more .... forceful threads I've seen in a while. I can't even help out. feels rude almost but hey.. it's your thread. but at least provide a discussion thread...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Try4Ce:
I really hope this works out some day. Sense UI is the only thing I miss since I switched to the SGS2 from the Desire HD. Sense UI is so well developed and beautiful, it will be gorgeous on the very powerful SGS2. This could become one of the most important projects!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sardroid:
Any progress guys?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stefcke:
Good luck devs, if you manage to get this work I think you're freakz. Would be nice for a lot of people to have HTC Sense and ofcourse we have enough RAM (problem with SGS1) ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omrij:
Of course there is no progress

they are too busy quoting the thread rules over and over

no time left for development...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fluke2k:
HTC is notorious for hardcoding their stuff. By that I mean that they often go beyond standard libs and api's of the system and some places write code directly to the hardware. This could become a problem when you try to run that code on different hardware than it was originally written for.

(Htc uses qualcomm chips with adreno gpu that is different than the exynos chip in our sgs2 that uses mali gpu)

I'm not saying it's impossible, and maybe even HTC have come to their senses and now are using standard system calls, but it's sure to be a challenge..

Good luck to you!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] admartian:
Sorry to the devs but I had to reply.

Why do you feel obliged that they should post an update of their progress? Are you paying or funding them in any way? Is this their job? I'm guessing all the answers to my hypothetical questions will be a resounding

NO

!

Seriously, XDA is for developers and we are only here to benefit from their free time. Don't let the free registration give you a false sense of entitlement.

If you want an update, do it yourself.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omrij:

I don't really care about sense and I don't want any updates

I just see bunch of "developers" quoting their ridiculous rules like a broken record.

Haha, I have nothing against the Devs, but he's kind of right the people monitering this thread are.hilarious!!! Anyways, best of luck for the port.... hopefully I don't get told what the rules of the thread are :X
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Try4Ce:
HTC Sense is for sure one of the most difficult porting jobs. Sense UI is a strong argument to buy HTC Products, HTC would be mad if they make it easy to port over to other devices. It is an exclusive Android System, which is the most feature rich out ever since, plus it has lots of eye candy out of the box which other Android Distributions doesnt have.

I hope this works out! Keeping my fingers crossed for ya devs!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
Damn .. I dont want to go off development, but thus is whats happening, we do have an alpha build but thats not booting right now. And please everyone note that this is a development thread. I jotted it in the thread topic as well.

Did you read what i wrote in my first post. If we have anything we will post it. We had logcat we provided it. Right now there is another build 0.2 that we are working on. Its hilarious and a bit of annoyance wheb i see the replies, guys I did not open this thread for socialising, but to bring all developers together to start development.

DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD, UNLESS YOU ARE A DEVELOPER. I WILL OPEN A THREAD IN GENERAL ONCE I COME BACK HOME.

BE POSITIVE .... WE ARE WORKING HARD ON THIS. YOU WILL GET A PORT SOON. BUT DONT POST USELESS CRAP WHICH WILL ANNOY EVERYONE. THANKS.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
version 0.7 beta

recovery log says:

checking for extended commands
skipping execution of extended command, file not found

logcat doesnt even work due to adb not being able to recognize the device as it freezes before having loaded necessary files.

fixing permission didnt change a single thing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
Hmnnn... alright i will hve a look again at the kernel once i come back home. Currently waiting for a train, damn hate trackworks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
@tids2k

Hey, can we get some better collaboration on this? Having you be the middle man for the source and tossing us builds with no changelogs is getting us no where.

Where is the source?

Where is the person who is working with source?

This new build you sent over is basically what I did already with replacing some of the lib files. Is there more? Kernel changes? anything?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
new version rebooted during installation.

the progressbar had not finished and it already rebooted so I wans't even able to flash the alternative kernel before it booted.

and again the main issue. not able to grab a log due to adb not able to recognize the device. it "bootloops" to early. formatted everything and tried flashing without rebooting to recovery and with rebooting to recovery.

both times i couldnt get a logcat. I'm sorry. Either my device doesnt like your rom + kernel or hmm idk :-/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
Flash the kernel again after going into cwm recovery. First flash the initial Rom and then make a logcat.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
Where is it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SERGI.3210:
FACEPALM? this is pure development :D

not true
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
This is going well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
in that case designgears how about we start from the scratch ... make a team and start porting ourselves rather than asking someone else, you have the knowlede and expertise on this why dont we give it a try from start. what do u say mate.

atleast i have tried to port this thing but it didnt work out, kenia1234 is in germany and i am in australia, it isnt often that we talked to each other on irc. but atleast we gave it a shot and i am still taking help of developers @ neopeek.com

'

ATLEAST IM TRYING YOU SEE :(

PS".: I am not giving up on this and wont until we get a stable port. I have asked not only from SGS2 developers but from Desire HD as well. But in despair, as i dont have the sources to start with, but i am not giving up easily. Although my porting knowledge is zero but i am doing my best to bring everyone together. The sense was ported to Samsung Galaxy S by kenia1234. Thats why I asked him to start the development in the hope that if he has the sources then it will be very easy for everyone of us to start on this.

alright.

the modified zimage is attached.

it has cwm recovery and modified init.rc to boot the htc rom. if you want you can extract it and modify for urself. if you want to give it a go make sure to convert it to boot.img or use koush's any kernel to modify the boot.img in your phone.

i am going to be away now, so if you find anything relevant to it do let us know here. thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
do not forget to post logcats and btw we are currently working @ sense 2.1 since it will be the easiest to port and gradually move to 3.0

about the zimage

this is original samsung kernel + cwm modified initramfs + init.rc ( changes )
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cristy7610:
it will be magical to see sense in galaxy s2.two weeks ago i change my htc sensation with galaxy s2 and i can say that sense 3.0 is the only thing i want to see in my phone....i can't wait to get this :)

Progress

Well my galaxy S 2 is kinda unbootable now, i tryed different approach to this porting. I tryed extract files from Open source kernel Sensation 4G from OpenSense from official HTC site. It sucks... My oppinion is that this will be very hard way how to port it... we should start from samsung ROM and do modifications to this rom. But i tryed. Well now i have to make a JIG and unbrick my SGS 2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
you shouldnt have used htc sources for samsung kernel. anyways thats a wrong approach.

This build is only for developers to check, please do not flash it if you are not a developer. The base used is from AdamG's devnull rom ( Cyanogenmod ) with a modified kernel (zImage) intead of boot.img. The Sense build being used is from RcMix3D Bliss rom.

Since there are not many developers working on it. I would like to urge to all developers to help and join with the port.

Framework

Well i tryed different frameworks, but it suck. Framework is now officially the biggest problem. AOSP framework will not initiate com.htc.* (framework...). HTC framework from rom is not compatible with Galaxy and not working. Samsung frameworks sucks... Tids2k tryed CM7 framework and it is very problematic. So far i think the best way is to modify HTC original framework. Try to look at it tommorow.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnny crap:
I do not understand exactly what the main problems with this port are because of all the existing ports, for other devices.

Hd2 even got 3.5 and was a Windows mobile cell phone.

Is it because of the exynos processor or the gpu which are totally different to htc's pendants?

Maybe one could elucidate this?

P.S.: Hope it was okay posting this here in fact that it's a question affecting developement?!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] helicopter88:
HD2 has the same cpu as desire wich is a qualcomm,like dhd and the others whom have got a port.

Samsung doesn't use qualcomm,uses different layouts and a different arch

If it was an htc and ran a qualcomm,you'd already have sense 3.5..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GalaxyHacker:
Just a litte post to thank all of the devs who help porting sense to the s2. Youre awesome and i guess well see progress soon.
