Yes, I agree with biohauven...it should be a bit easier to port 4.0.4 then 4.0.3...but maybe we are wrong;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
@ sense4all

have you tried to replace egl smalies in the framework? or cdma for ril?

I should tell you just keep one x egls and flash your rom then look at logcat and try to fix errors.and use the pure aosp ics as base it is better and you'll fix bugs soon.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Hi thanks for the tip :)

Just want to tell you all guys that I managed to get the sense 4.1 working in our S3 with the same bugs we have earlier in sense 4.1 .

back to you farzad,,, using htc one egls will make a non booting rom so would mind explaining your idea more !
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
At the first time maybe this is a little starnge but one of the epic 4g recognized developers said to us to use one x egls and check logcat to fix bugs

do that which is in the logcat .he has ported sense 2.1 with no bugs.

but i suggest you change the smalies in the framework to make egl and ril work.for egl change javax folder and for ril couldn't remember but there are a few folders so you can find desired folder for ril.(try s3 egl)

If you haven't successful boot try one x egls.for sd replace the vold.fstab in system/etc with ur cm9 to get sd card fixed .this method worked for us,hopefully works for you too,but you should work hard.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] QuBe2:
Epic 4G you mean xboxfanj ? I dont think he said that. And there is nothing wrong with the rill it is the sound . The vold.fstab fix we have tried it but it is complicated the link between system and kernel is not 100% good you can format your sdcard (watchout i am not responsible if you lose data ) but you can mount the sdcard
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Thanks again ,,,

The current issues is :-

1. The sound is not working ( Regardless of the new open source libs from CM9 although in logcat it shows the driver is loaded ).

2. The SD card is not working ( I have tried different types of vold.fstab , we used a lot of build.prop lines ) but it seems not working at all although in the htc settings you can see that the rom recognizes the volume size of the internal memory !!.

3. wifi and bluethooth both are not working although different libs were tried and different files especially those in etc folder.

4. Signal and data are working flawlessly.

Now if anybody have clues please help.

Sense 4.0 is working great but 4.1 is booting and working but it has system UI errors as well as some random soft resets !!!

Oweida.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] QuBe2:
The wifi is fixable but a bit hard bluetooth isnt fixable that is because of some htc things that blocks bluetooth this was for (gingerbread) so maybe bluetooth can working
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
check the sense3.5 topic for gio then you'll see xboxfanj post which included with gpu fix(which i told).your team mate says sd don't work and you say sd work with some changes in partition?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
There is a guide which i found it the most useful guide for sense port.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222746

you can ask help from developers which have ported sense already and use their experience
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] QuBe2:
This is from htc device to htc device
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
I know,but some file replacement could be useful don't think?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] afcrib:
So guys how is it going with this project? Note that I'm just asking cause there are no news, not pushing anything.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sykodelyk:
no news?? i love sensee! :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xboxfanj:
That only works for you guys since you have the same GPU as some HTC devices. No HTC device uses a PowerVR GPU, so we can't use their EGLs. Also, graphics seem to be ok, so no need to do that either way.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Good News !!

Will it seems that I have managed to get the sound working :) along with the data and signal. Making calls is possible and you can talk without any problem but no incoming call ring or notification !!!!!

We still need to know how will bluethooth, wifi, camera be fixed plus SD CARD MOUNTING which of A TOP PRIORITY :(

Any clues or hints will be appreciated

Hi All

HTC sense 4.1 is booting nicely on our S 3 I have ported it and tried it with the same issues we had with sense 4.0 ( 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 ). It has a lot of system UI errors.

I know the porting is of a big temptation but if time is consumed on fixing issues it will be better.

I will upload a booting rom ( HTC sense 4.1 based on the latest official HTC 2.17.401.2 (WWE) firmware) with working signal/data and sound in1 or 2 days from now .

I need a help in regards to wifi and sd card fix ( for wifi I think we need to rebuild/recompile the module and for SD card fix I need somebody with apktool expertise to edit the framwork-res.apk and edit tge storage-list.xml and other values to match those of CM9 !!

Oweida
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xboxfanj:
Wifi modules should be ok unless you changed something in kernel about that. As long as you're using the cm ones you should be fine. Do you know if your device uses bcm4330 for wifi/bluetooth? Check lib/modules and etc/wifi for the wifi info.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mehrzad1363:
Sense 4.0 PORT HOX Based 4.0.3 ALPHA Release sdcard is mount but new problem and i not inter in rom?!!!

unfortunately, the processandroid.process.media has stopped
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Hey Xboxfan ,,,, I think the device uses this bcmdhd_wlanbcm4329 ;)

what the exact lib needed to be replaced and what about those files related in bin and etc folder ?!

?? SD card is mounted ?!! how did you do that !!!!!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mehrzad1363:
just replace and recompile 3 file of cm9 with

\framework-res.apk\res\xml\storage_list

\framework-res.apk\res\layout\usb_storage_activity

\framework-res.apk\res\layout-land\usb_storage_activity

but rom get similar bootloop (maybe i mistake for internalstorage is mount because I did not experience the port) but change directory of emmc in adb in rom.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xboxfanj:
If its bcm4329, it will be the same fix for all our sense4all devices minus galaxy nexus. Many htc devices use it, so we should be in luck there. We'll need to copy libhardwarelegacy and libwpaclient and bin/wpasupplicant and bin/wpacli from an htc device with bcm4329 as well as their init.rc and some of the wifi classes in init.device.rc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tw1nz:
Sounds like there is some progress! Great work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Well there is ;)

1- Porting HTC Sense 4.1 is done and it works with some System UI FCs ( Most likey because of SD card mounting issue ).

2- Porting HTC Sense 4.0 ( based on HOX rom 4.0.4 ) is working with sound, signal and data , making calls is possible but no incoming call ring or ID notification ?!!!!! and it has system UI errors but at least it is already fixed to show few FCs.

3- Our orignal port the most stable one which is based on (4.0.3) has now a working sound but only in calls and in touch tones of dial pad but no system sounds ?!!!!!!!

YES I need help in editing the framework-res.apk and any thing related to the sd card fix ;-(

Now There is an incentive if anybody could get wifi/bluetooth or sd card fixed I'm ready to give 100 $ and even more ;)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] chiauyih:
Its kinda sad that you guys give up sense 4.0 but sense 3.6 Is also good :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Galaxynote1234:
I miss my Evo 3D. I hope this works out soon. Would love to have HTC Sense on my S3.

Where can I download 3.6? Is it stable? Everything works?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] QuBe2:
I am busy with sense 3.6 and I miss my EVO 3D too :'( I am trying to get sense 3.6 working
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Hi All ..

Just to let you know guys this project has not died, we still hardly working to get the sd card fixed ( this is the main issue ) !

Unfortunately Qube2 is the only developer who is working in kernel development ( I have zero experience in ). But at least we are having a working builds and may be we'll have sense 4.5 soon.

I'm urging everyone who has any experience in porting to help us and the 100 $ is now raised to 200 $ if anybody can get the SD card fixed !!

Hints :-

1. Vold.fstab ( we tired different mods but still sd card can't be detected ).

2. Framework ( storage list.xml ). Editing this file has created a lot of erros along with non usable rom.

3. We think that HTC use VFat ( virtual sd card ). So we think if we can get our SD card formated in such way may be sd card will get recognized by the rom.

Whatever thoughts , ideas , clues you have people please do help and you will be rewarded :)

Thanks

Oweida.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xboxfanj:
Since those three haven't worked, we need to dive into services.jar. And if you guys need a kernel, I can do that.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] farzad.u235:
Don't think need kernel compiling.just editing rc files in ramdisk needed i think.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] QuBe2:
I think we need to use a fake sdcard formatted as vfat on the sdcard partition becauae you can adb push to the sdcard from your pc but the rom is doing weird with it ....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mr.Mefisto:
I have the same idea with rc. files in ramdisk like the user above said!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rixsta:
I wish you the best of luck with this, I just hope you can sort it out. I've seen Sense ROMs that never get out the alpha stage, time and time again. The SD card issue was the same with the S2 and they never managed to fix it, in fact I think they started porting Sense 3.5 instead.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Hi All

No body is porting Sense 3.5 in fact we did port 4.5 and it works !!

Galaxy S 3 is a unique device and porting htc sense to it ( 4.0, 4.1 and 4.5 ) is easier than what you think !! all what is needed is just a kernel with modified bootclasspath ;)

Now the rest is easy and I can give a tutorial ( Thanks to Qube2 ).

The problem is that I'm the only one who's working in S3 and I need people to help !

HTC sense 4.1 is running smoothly in my S3 ( I even bought another S3 for development sake ) with working sound, data, phone calls ( only you can't receive them ) widgets.

Without SD card mounting ( whether the internal or external one ) the rom will still in it's alpha stage !!!

I really need real developers since I'm just only a beginner !!

I know it sounds difficult but I will never give up on this project.

For interested people I have few Questions ;)

1- Regarding SD card mounting what could be the possible fixes ( is it inside build.prop, vold, vold.fstb, storage_list.xml or the kernel itself ?!

2- Wifi and bluetooth are the other issues and Talstus has given a hint that the modules has to be compiled along with the kernel !

3- Camera is not working and the log cat is mentioning ( Hal : couldn't loal camera moduel or something like this ) any ideas ?!

Thanks

XDA is ment for sharing knowledge and experience and I think we have a plenty of developers who might help us in this regard ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Jasmin - HTC:
I admire you for doing this. This is exactly what XDA is about. Taking something stock and modding it to our liking. I would LOVE to have the S3 running Sense, because I'm not a big fan of TW, however I buy Samsungs products because of the hardware and the Samsungs Dev-friendly attitude.

I, unfortunately have no deving skill at all, so I am afraid i can't be of any help to you.

But please, can someone give this guy a hand? Although you say it's not so difficult, i have to give to give you the props for starting a project like this and sticking to it!

I wish you the best of luck man, I will visit thread regularly in hopes of finding something great :)

P.S. I think when this whole JB thing has calmed down, this thread will get a lot more attention.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Thealshear:
The hal is the module that talks between the cam and kernel. If memory serves when i had the hd2 it was a problem on ics roms they needed to rewrite the hal wrapper. I would recommend you talk to shaky that guy is a genius when it comes to porting sense. Hope I helped.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
Thanks Brother ,, I'm sticking for this project. I really find it challenging but it empowers my experience also.

Okay thanks a lot. If you know him very well would you mind asking him about our current problems ?!

Using the root explorer /mnt/sdcard will not open because it's currently not mounted !!!!!!

but create a linker from the /mnt/sdcard inside /mnt and you can really open the internal sd card !!!!

So anybody knows you sdcard is behaving like this ?!!!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lorenzo.themax92:
we can try if you post a little preview of your rom.. and tell how to solve bug and help you! :=

We really appreciate your work!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Oweida:
I will upload the beta 1 rom maybe tomorrow may be later tonight !

It is based on one x rom 2.05.401.2.

What works :-

1. Rosie and widgets.

2. Sound.

3. Data.

4. Calling ( You can make them but not receive them ).

5. Things I forget !!!.

What doesn't Work:-

1- SD card.

2- Wifi and bluetooth.

3- Camera .

In advance, after the htc logo one system UI error will appear, you need press it very QUICK. during the setup wizard press next very fast other wise it will softrest !! lastely wait for the rosie to work it may take two minutes or more.

Nothing very much about it but hopefully things will get fixed later.

Thanks to Mike1986 and Qube2 and of course the sense4all team.

Hey all,

A few people on Kijiji in my area are selling "brand new in box" Raiders claiming they have ICS 4.0 and Sense 4.0 on them. This seems like bullhonky to me. Am I missing something here? Is there a ROM with full Sense 4.0? From what I've read around here Sense 4 is a port, and a WIP, and not looking to successful due to issues with RIL....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You are correct, they are full of bull crap. There is no functioning Sense 4 ROM yet.

Tried connecting it to various head units (was thinking about buying one for music), didn't work with any of them. And since the S3 doesn't support Mass Storage mode it basically can't be used at all (unless you do Aux or Blutooth, which I don't want to do).
