I am up to somethink right now... but abou hour later I will try... I am wery iterested in that ROM too ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
This can't be too hard, i'm going to download andr rev and compare it with the leedroid rom, see how it matches up.

Then get one i actually want and see how that matches up too.

Someone said something about mounting points! How would these be changed and what is the worry if it's not?

Is basically the worst case scenario that it won't boot up or is there a more sinister problem that could happen because the OP's main post should state that if there is, a nice big RED warning sign.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
No, you will only replace a few files to make it work, the rest of the system will remain 'intact'
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
No the only 'danger' is that your device won't boot anymore, you can still access the recovery menu and flash another rom if you'd like.

About the mounting points, I just looked at LeeDroid, changed "23" to "22" and I was done! But this depends on the rom, just compare the updater-scripts, that might be the hardest part, but with some basic knowledge you can do it for sure. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Woops pressed the wrong button on my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
This would be awesome
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Give it a go, it really isn't that hard! If you manage to get it booting and some things don't work, ask some devs for advice, I'm sure they will be pleased to help people who try to contribute to the community!
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Sweet. Going to try to flash android revolution or infected when I get home
[HTC EVO 3D] jras87:
:(

not works for my, the first try recovery say get.promp error = "shooter"

maybe it works in next try :)

Tomorrow, of course.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Thats your updater-script, I've had some issues with it as well ;) but most of the time it's something small :)
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Device checking is done in the updater script, if you look close enough you'll find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Lol 2 days til android revolution is downloaded :( don't think i'm that patient.

What about the rom you modified (OP)?

Any chance of uploading that to megaupload or something? Drop box even?

Would be good if we all had the same rom and were able to contribute to it, get all of them ported one at a time a lot quicker than all of us going for completely different rom's for different reasons, i'm game to contribute but waiting 2 days for a download is a bit harsh.

EDIT: Do you think the viper rom will work? It's looking good.
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
Yes it's possible. That's what I'm running right now :)

Change shooter to shooteru or just comment the whole assert
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Downloading infected eternity now. may aswell give it a shot sure. No harm in trying.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Multiupload provides downloads to multiple sites.. Including megaupload. And yes I used Android Revolution from the CDMA section, the version I uploaded already boots on the GSM device, can make calls etc.

Of course the viper rom could be ported, ANY rom from the CDMA section can be ported, just follow my instructions and see how it works out!
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
!!!NICE !!! :D Got eternity runnig right NOW ;) thank you ... seems to be runnig wery well... network works... wifi works... for now it looks like all works...

now what I did...

I have runned diff agains shooter and shooteru warm ROM variants...

validating all differences on non binary files

than diff against shooteru warm and eternity ROM..

merging all diferences from previous search...

I have found that simple copy of listed files could easily broke ROM confuguration ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] jras87:
It works now, but I can't make calls cause I can't introduce pincode.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Nice work! Feel free to make a thread in the GSM section and upload your rom!
[HTC EVO 3D] Lennon68:
OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats! to gsm

I tried to port "OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats!" GSM version but do not install.

Someone smarter than me could do it, and also because the only rom with USB HOST working.

Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Check the error it gives when you try to flash it & dump the recovery log in CWM "advanced -> error log" it will tell you what is wrong, and if you can't figure it out, ask a developer! Goodluck!
[HTC EVO 3D] lilvfr400boy:
Please may you upload the Rom ? :-) I'm just starting to fiddle with my phone so have noob like tenancies to screw things up n don't wana break my phone lol
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Nice one. are you going to upload the rom or leave us hanging haha? Congrats on getting it to work. Ill try figure out how to do it. A few screenshots of process or something might make it eaiser for people like meself lol. I have infinity/leedroid on mine now haha.

Wait up a minute. I was so excited about this whole thing that I made a complete balls of it. ill do it properly now and if it works then ill upload infected GSM. Fingers and balls crossed.
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
Dont worry.. it will be uploaded soon, just need to tune up some stuff about kernel instalation.. but my port contains HUGE bug :-/ You CAN watch 3D pictures and videos, but you CAN'T create them :'( .. but the rest seems to be working fine, but it needs somebody more experinced in this.. probably it will need just to replace somethink :D lol ... I am just C++ developer who owns EVO, no ROM/Android dev
[HTC EVO 3D] Qwerts:
And do you know how to enable 3G network? cos i've got only 4G in options :D
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Hopefully one of the Devs will help you out. Im talking to Samuel on facebook now already , just letting him know I will be probably annoying him in about 20 minutes.

Hey at least you got it working, imo not being able to create 3D vids or photos is only a small bug that should be sorted easily enough.

Good stuff man :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
sorry but I dont have mobile network connection paid... I use just wifi, but I think that you need to define new APN in mobile network setting,s right?

LOL.. gonna have to change my ISP, 130 kB/s upload, SHAME :( ...you have 55 minutes to wait :-P
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == shooter"

I know its only a small thing but I havent a clue. :( ill chisel away
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
you can turn off asserts in CWM but, it bassicaly means that you did not patched updater-script... shooter is CDMA device, shooteru is GSM ;) there are different partition layout, so you should update that.. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Oh yeah I know that alright about shooter and shooterru, only thing is I just dont know how to update it haha. So close lol. Trying to find asserts in Rev cwm now. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
change it to

#Check for correct board
assert(
getprop("ro.product.device") == "shooteru"
);
show_progress(0,0);
ifelse(is_mounted("/system") == "/system", unmount("/system"));
ifelse(is_mounted("/data") == "/data", unmount("/data"));
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22");
run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-m", "0", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/data");
[HTC EVO 3D] gigaboss:
I have a question that may sound silly. By replacing all those files, aren't we removing some (or all) tweaks that make those CDMA roms so good? I mean, at the end, aren't we actually flashing something more similar to the GSM rom we took the files from?

I have no idea about that since I don't know which files are tweaked by devs, so I am just asking.
[HTC EVO 3D] dit3:
This stuff is moreless the low layer... if you merge configs, you should keep the higl layer(tweaks).. I think ...

BTW new thread created and ROM uploaded
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Nope, the tweaks are mainly done in init.rd & applications itself etc. we are only editing the files to make all the hardware work :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jras87:
Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] klebengan:
cant wait this one bro. good try.
[HTC EVO 3D] dexteral:
If port is now possible would it not make more sense to merge the development threads and request all devs to release the Rom simultaneously for both gsm and cdma. I would recommend a poll on this to see if all agree maybe in the general section.
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
Amen
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Hmm.. we could do it, but before we do that we first need to figure out how to fix all the 'bugs' at once. With this method roms boot, and most of the hardware works, but if you want a data connection, you will need the GSM settings.apk app to add APN's and such. I think it's only a matter of dropping the right APK files in /system/app/ but it's pretty important.
[HTC EVO 3D] pulser_g2:
Don't do that - instead find out WHAT the differences are, and make a smali patch for it. Then you can patch any modified Settings APK to work on the GSM one.
[HTC EVO 3D] ZeroInfinity:
help!

I have successfully ported Nocturnal Xplod XE Rom!

I only have a few bugs, other than that most of the hardware is working!

I just need to know how to fix the text problem (e.g "in%s" description in quicksettings and "Allow a application to view the FM Radio"), The Sound Drivers dont seem to be working (no sound anywhere!) and the data connection.

everything else works! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Good work!

If you'd like make a thread in the Evo 3D GSM development section, report the bugs and what's working etc. and share your rom! I'm pretty sure the Evo 3D users will help you solve bugs! ;)

edit: Don't forget to ask the original rom developer for permissions!! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396557
[HTC EVO 3D] ZeroInfinity:
Will do :), i just need permission from the author of the rom first.

EDIT: I can't post on the CMDA dev forum yet (Damn 10 post count rule), Im contacting them on their main website, team-nocturnal.com
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
I think that these issues are pretty manageable for ROM devs. The real problem in merging both sections is that XDA is full of noobs who will end up flashing the wrong radio/kernel and brick their phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
Pm
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Kernels won't brick it ;) only radio's & bootloaders can iirc. And it's true XDA is full of noobs, but that's not our problem. If they just read and don't flash any CDMA radio's or bootloaders they should be fine.

We indeed need some rom devs to see this, I've already submitted this thread as a news tip, hopefully people with knowledge will see it there, if it gets there, and can help us!
[HTC EVO 3D] gptwarrior:
Wanna say guys a massive thank you for work your doing would be great to merge both gsm and cdma if people don't read instructions their own fault for bricking device
[HTC EVO 3D] ZeroInfinity:
Guys, the Nocturnal Xplod XE rom will not be released, instead of porting the author told me to work on a gsm base instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Such a shame
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
Yeah, they should at least have considered an unofficial port until they release the official one.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
..imho we need devs in the gsm section, not bad ported/semi working roms from unexperienced users. It's more a step backward then forward imo.

This step just leads to more alpha/beta/roms with text glitches - and most porters even dont know how to fix this easy bugs - already got one pm to help one out - and if they even dont know how to fix such really easy small bugs - then there wont be any further development on this rom - just some more copy pasting.

...and I also dont believe, that a CDMA rom devs allows each noob user to port there rom in a few secs, when they spent hours/weeks on developing it.

Now hate me.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
You have a very good point there, but maybe some good devs will try to port some roms, or developers over at the CDMA section will see how easy it is to get their rom working on both versions of the phone..
[HTC EVO 3D] :
...yeah, I hope this stuff goes this way and not the one I mentioned above =)
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
I beg to differ, XDA is first and foremost a place where people can learn to code/modify their handhelds. Just look at how many noobs got their hands dirty while trying to get the updater-script working. Heck how many learned what an updater-script is for.

Of course there's a long road between them and some devs here and they should assume not whine every once in a while. But this whole idea that devs should stay devs and noobs should stay noobs is kind of dull.

You know what made the success of Wikipedia? Noobs can modify it.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
...did I ever said that? :-).

I just pointed to the danger, that the gsm forum, which lacks on real devs is flooded now with bad ported roms,which the "dev" is not able to support, because he has no idea of it, because he just followed the tutorial here and thinks now he did accomplish sth.

...and getting a rom working is far from beeing a dev. To call yourself a real dev you need more than just a few years of programming and experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomobobo:
I agree that this isn't real development, but these guys and all of us GSM evo 3D users are just being left in the dark. Instead of dogging on these guy's findings, why not try to find out what this "noob" is doing and help the community gain knowledge.

What I don't get is if modifying a CDMA rom to work on a GSM device is so simple and "noob" then why was the forum split up into the two sections to begin with?
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Because the real noobs on XDA would then brick all of their devices + it's easier to find stuff for your device only rightnow. But as pulser_g2 suggested before, if we smali mod every APK that has something to do with the main functionality of the phone, and make them hybrid and everyone applies those files to their rom, we could merge the forums. But that's way ahead. Let's first wait for more people and developers to see this and find out how everything exactly works and how to fix all the problems we have at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] |=>AmuzZ<=|:
hey man this is gr8 i was wondering can u port this ROM to GSM

[ROM]OLYMPUS Titan HD ODEXed V2!! Performance, Speed, Power, Wrath of Olympus!!!!!

i really lik it

please help
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
I'm about to do a rough port of it. I've just PM'd the original developer and will backup my phone rightnow.

edit: after I've seen his updater-script I'll port the viperrom instead if you mind.
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Just had a look at this Rom on CDMA forum if this is possible all I can say is wow wow wow bring it on
[HTC EVO 3D] gigaboss:
I saw what you posted on his thread, if you're right, his rom is probably not as good as we may think. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
If you want to check, grab his rom and open the updater-script.

Currently copying the viperROM port to my SD-card, let's see how it works out. I will only upload after I've got permissions though.

[HTC EVO 3D] :
...this thread is getting ridiculous. Flaming others work but not skilled enough creating an own rom.

The evo got so much potential and good devs, but people like you ....
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
I'm busy with school that's why I don't have the time to create my own rom. Also after seeing alot of crap passing by in that updater-script I thought it might be better to give viperROM a try instead.

status on viperROM: It's flashing, but after it's flashed and tries to boot it seems to keep changing the governor from screen on to screen off. Will look further tomorrow, nn!

hi

so , what i have done with my data connection ??
[HTC EVO 3D] thisisboo:
I ported a rom, it installed fine and booted fine, but there were random bugs here and there so I wanted to restore my nandroid, but my phone refuses to go to the recovery when ever I try to access the recovery it just boots into the rom again. Adb/fastboot will not find the devices so I cant reflash a recovery.img or anything. Can anybody help? (if not the tutorial worked and I guess I can live with my port for eternity :))

EDIT:i used flash image gui to flash recovery and now i got my recovery back and adb/fastboot see phone again...any idea as to why my recovery partition got deleted?
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Yes, probably because you didn't edit the 'blocks' in the updater-script. For example, block 23 on the CDMA is "/system/" & block 24 is "/data". While on the GSM block 22 is "/system" and block 23 is "/data". Or maybe you didn't replace "boot.img" which contains the kernel. And great work at tje port! First ask virus of course for permission, after it you can make a thread and upload your rom!
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
Eh? Some more information please?
[HTC EVO 3D] GStar01:
Great!! Hoping for ICS :) But with 3D, would be a bigger problem or?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jakedude2011:
+1..................
[HTC EVO 3D] rejanmanis:
I don't mind to have fully function ICS without 3D.

ICS with 3D will extremely difficult to do , since Google its self made ICS without 3D.

BTW... to make it easy. Can anyone provide us a full ROM, so we can flash this CDMA ROM to our GSM EVO3D easily from CWM?
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Listen to this guy, he knows his stuff m8. :)

Tell u, that viper rom looks slick.

Might have a go at that one myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
There is a full rom in the OP.. an Android Revolution HD port with most things working so far. Wipe & go ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] raman21raman:
plzz help me

when i use to port as tutorial cdma rom boots up but i m unable to get the phone network :( it does not detects network :( what can i do???

thanx...
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
try to call someone, I know the indicator acts weird, in my case it didn't say it had reception but I could call numbers.. so try to make a call ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
With devs permission will any of these roms be uploaded don't think I'm clever enough to attempt this
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Virus said he will post one himself so atleast for infected ROM, don't bother asking.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
I have permission for viperrom...
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Which is the one I really want to try can I ask what's working and what's not
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
It's not uploaded yet, as it isn't booting yet. Once it is, and it's a bit usable I will make a new thread and upload it.
[HTC EVO 3D] muhsli:
and so I thanked you when I was supposed to ask a question...

and further.. if you upload the ROM. Will you be able to support it, when the user storm hits you?

I dont think no ROM should be uploaded from someone who is'nt a dev and who can not support it..

further you should not only just check with the CDMA devs if it's ok with your "port", but also with the GSM dev wich you are copying files from.

Im interested to know what for example Lee feels about that kind of business.

Its ok to experiment, but keep it to yourself and dont "share" something you dont own and that you cant support, in my opinion, please..
[HTC EVO 3D] ace_k786:
Ya muhsli's right, support is definitly needed, each port would most likely have its unique problems, a 1 size fit all patch would be amazing, hopefully some dev can figure it out but its kinda hard at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
+100 ...btw. i dont think, that any cdma dev will allow to release an unofficial port of his rom under his rom name - devs spent lots of time optimizing there rom, making there rom polular and fitting to the needs of the users.

A bad port with bugs, supported by a unexperiencend none dev would pollute his name.
[HTC EVO 3D] thisisboo:
This also works for sensation roms, just ported hyper sensation (56 mb rom) aosp and has same bugs as the cm7 for our evos but seems faster and less crashes for me so far
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
Sensation ROMs work out of the box provided the appropriate kernel. Camera won't work though and the device will be reported as a Sensation.
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
You're totally right. So we just should just pull out all these custom ROMs since HTC did not give any permission for end users to temper with their ROMs and their hardwork. Now that's funny the guys stealing intellectual property now asking for some...

And since all these ROMs are more buggy than their stock counterparts, all we are doing now is polluting their name am I not right? You will tell me that these custom ROMs bring new features that HTC couldn't/wouldn't provide. Well these ports also bring new features that original devs and you couldn't/wouldn't provide: Compatibility with another device. And until one of these devs step out and provide the official ROM, unexperienced none devs users have legal/moral right to do whatever they're doing right now. And that's a hell lot better than just sitting and waiting until the forum dies.

Mikrunny (the second Hybrid ROM) took all the diff files that Warm team found. One of these files I myself found and posted it in their thread, and that file I took from mdj's Virtuous ROM which he took from someone else until we reach back to HTC. I'm sure that at least 2 from this chain were not asked for permissions to share their findings.

Please if you're not helping EVO3D users have more choice regarding custom ROMs then stop from letting others do so. And providing support is their own business not yours.
[HTC EVO 3D] B1nny:
I agree with you that I'm not a real dev, I know the basics, like to mess around with phones until they don't work anymore and then restore it again. I like to find out stuff and help people. I also like to motivate people to do/make things like I do in this thread. Everyone starts somewhere, about a year ago, when I still had my hero they were trying to port a gingerbread rom with sense 2.1 to the device. Someone called JieeHD wanted to give it a go, we talked, I helped him a bit and he made lots of good roms for the HTC Hero. Now he's an official developer of the VillainRom team. (on freenode, #villainrom) I'm not saying that I was the beginning of his success, he did it all by himself, but I've seen him 'develop'. Also you shouldn't tell people to keep their roms off the forums because they're just bad ports, because everyone starts somewhere. And I would totally LOVE to see this happening over and over again! We are a community and everyone helps each other in most cases. There are loads of IRC channels with good developers who are willing to help with every device, exellent kernel makers, we have everything!

I agree with you that on these forums there is more than enough space for beginning developers or just people who want to try something out; and we shouldn't stop them from trying to do so. The thing he is .. don't really know the right word maybe 'afraid' (correct me if I'm wrong!) that the development section will be 'bloated' by buggy roms. But as I said earlier, we are a community and most developers all over the forums are willing to help anyone!
[HTC EVO 3D] domon07:
can you also do olympus trinity hd?
[HTC EVO 3D] ea3aitjr:
I Agree with you, too. I'm not a developer, only a user who try to help anyone when I can. Your thread has been useful for me. I have made one booting ported gsm 3.0 sense from Infected Eternity cdma, and following your ideas. That's a good reward for me and its almost fully working. But I know, it woult be nice to share before with the developers whatever we find, because we are not a really developers. What I think is we should help before to the developers to find this "alternate" ways, but never creating a new thread calling the "new rom" as a new port from their creators. It's not a problem of who's got the rights of let everything that can works, but a question of "fair play".

Thanks for all.
[HTC EVO 3D] HMZX:
Does that mean I can just install Android Revolution HD and flash a EVO 3D kernel and the rom would work? (apart from camera...)
