[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RobE.:
Reloading the kernel (many times) didn't work, and had unpleasant repercussions. TG 4 cwm, so all's well...

but the boot.img wasn't really a bad idea. I couldn't do it with the kernel.zip (because there wasn't one to extract), but I did d/l Lee's Rom, extracted the boot.img and flashed it via fastboot. It worked! but it also broke my wifi...

TG 4 cwm. (Lol)

Thinking this might still be a good idea, I d/l'ed Nicki Berli's FlyHigh Rom, extracted the boot.img for his upgraded kernel, and tried again. Got similar results, (Lol), - I'm getting good practice here. :)

TG 4 cwm.

zummer22's idea to do a complete downgrade and try again (I think) might probably work... but, I'm still rooted, everything works as it should, GB's pretty snappy, I've jettisoned a lot of bloat with root uninstaller, still enjoying the stock Sense launcher and switching off to GoLauncherEX now & then (to keep it interesting)...read-up enough on HC to know that I don't want it ...and I'm not convinced that any of the custom GB roms are any more polished and less trouble-free than what I have now. But, but maybe for S & G's... I'll try something, again, another day.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Hello. I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Can someone please provide the stock HTC splash screen in PD98IMG.zip format?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiperhack:
Take a RUU, extract the file rom.zip to your hard disk, close the RUU installation, open your extracted rom.zip, delete the images from it except splash1 and text file, save the new rom.zip, put it on sd card and flash it through recovery.

*** ICS Sense 3.6 Android 4.0.4 - Vivo GSM RUU ***​

​

Ok, the Rom posted here is a port from the Incredible S RUU. It's been converted so that CDMA is functioning on this Rom...

The Reason this Rom is posted is mostly for Development. This Port DOES NOT require a change in HBoot and is 90% functional right now (Exceptions listed below). This should be good enough for a Daily Driver for most!

ROM INFO

- Android Version: 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

- Based on: Vivo Sense 3.6 RUU (Chinese Leak)

- Sense Version: 3.6

WHAT DOESN'T WORK

- Friend Stream (Don't have a clue... App seems fine, but there is no way to connect it to a Social Network)

- SuperUser - Root functions are not working in this version. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL LOSE ROOT! Apps that require Root Permissions will not work.

- APN's - The Apn's have to be set manually. Not sure if this is a Rom Feature or if it's something not working in the Rom. To Set APN's manually, pull the notification bar down and select the "connected" icon, Press Menu and Select New APN... APN's are listed below for the Stock VZW Setup US

Give it some time on first boot, it takes a while...

ENJOY! :D

YES, Camera and Video Record work 100%!!! Flash is IN-SYNC with Camera, or so it appears! I believe that FaceLock should ALSO work, but have not yet tested.

I will not be continuing ANY development of this Rom, since I just don't have the time to do more. I am hoping that a few Developers here can us this as a Base for future development of some more Awesome Rom's for our Device!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
No problem... Hopefully I can get this reboot issue narrowed down and fixed soon. Have a few dev's to talk to... For the most part, the Rom (if the reboot issue WAS fixed) would easily be a DD. Everything else seems to work fine... Anyone have ideas, throw 'em out there! Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
Is the stock sense kernel packaged with the rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
It's the cm9 kernel with the modified zimage. Only one that it boots with so far. I know the reboots are related to it, just not sure what to do at this point.

I'll try dres kernel with the ics zimage merged in tomorrow and see if that works.

I need to add that to the op, too...

How about trying nitsuj's kernel from his sense 4 rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
Someone told me that the ramdisks have to be modified for the ics kernels. I do t know if that has to do with the reboots but its just an observation.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
That's what I'm thinking at this point... I know nothing about kernel development, guess I can learn though... I'll poke around at it tomorrow, maybe I'll get lucky...

Jk.. Thanks for your development.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
The patch doesn't work. Perhaps it has to do with Sense vs. AOSP.

The first boot it froze on the black screen. I pulled the battery and it booted fine. This looks nice! I can't wait until this is ready for daily use!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
Thanks for reporting that back. You're probably right, the sense framework is probably the reason why it didn't work.

Hey mac. Glad.to see another developer from the the eris community. I just got a replacementinc2. Mine messed up. And this one has the dreaded 98 hboot, I got to get it rooted this weekend, I'd.like to try this.out, thanks bro
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kevdliu:
someone over at nitsuj's sense4 thread said that tiamat kernel worked for the ROM. maybe it will work here too. just an idea i will try this later when i get the time

Update: Interesting. I flashed the ROM, booted it up, rebooted in recovery, flashed the kernel, wiped devlik cache, and rebooted again. the screen was blank for a few minutes (no boot animation) and the "android is upgrading" dialog appeared. after all the apps were optimized it got stuck on "starting apps". i rebooted the phone with adb and now its stuck on the blank screen.

Update 2: wiped everything and flashed both the ROM and the kernel back to back but still stuck on blank screen. at least the ROM booted somehow the first time around
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
I flashed the tiamat kernel as well, but it finished the optimization and started up fine... But, no change with the screen on reboots... Still trying... I'm going to be out of town this weekend, so I'll get back to this on Monday guys...

Honestly I didnt expect it would work...but like I said in that thread the way the script flashes the kernel is in an unpacked state...ie it doesn't flash a boot image, but rather the parts of it: individually and then creates it after

I'm not a kernel guy so im not entirely sure....but I imagine it pulls the existing ramdisk into the newly created boot image or something like that and just replaces the.zimage

In that case both tiamat and.cm9 zimages were hacked up for ics already and work OK

I don't endorse its use with opensense as I like debugging to have limited outside variables...but I can't tell you what to do on your own phone obviously
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
Does the camera work on this ROM? ;)

Got your pm bro... I'll start digging and see if i can do anything soon... Have a couple things to finish up yet... Life here has been **** so I'm a bit behind on stuff. Trying to get back in the swing of things though :):beer:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
Hehe, yeah camera works... Lay the phone down on table, use camera to take picture... Lol. Thanks for pitching in on this... Lifes hectic here too, but I think once the reboot issue is nailed down, this might have some hope. Most everything else works well!

Hey Macdroid just ported the DHD smartbeat rom and same problem. Just letting you know.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
Thanks. I think its based on the same runnymede ruu I'm trying. I'm still not completely sure what's causing the reboots, but I'm still working on it. I have managing to port over some mods, but they're useless unless the Rom gets more stable.

Once I've got the reboot issue fixed, I've got a good base for an update!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kevdliu:
Did you use cm9 files to port the rom?

Ok, so I'm still working on this just so everyone knows. I've been focusing on a port from the DHD forums, Blackout. Everything is working, but I still have issues with wakelock reboots. I've tried the kernels on some sense 4 ports and they don't have that problem...lol.

There's enough work on sense 4, so I'm going to keep working on this to get it ironed out. I am not, by no means whatsoever, a kernel dev, so this could take a while for me to figure out... If I can, even. I'd post an update, but is rather have that update as a useable Rom, so please be patient...

Update

Just to let everyone know, I'm closing this project after today. I'm going to mod the OP and post a Stock Vivo port, based on the GSM Ruu, that is about 90% functional (OP will detail). I just don't have the time to invest in completing this project or expanding it any further right now...

Anyone who wants to use this as a Base, please feel free to do so. No need to PM me for permission, it's public source! The only thing I ask (and this is HIGHLIGHTED in the OP) is to credit Nitsuj for the Boot.img... I tried the stock boot, modified stock and several other kernel variations, but his is the only one that works with this base!!

OP will be updated later today, so keep an eye on the thread!
