[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
Actually, there was a huge legal flamewar before you arrived about that, and mods has to intervene (mods did a good job moping up the evidence). Gist is, I agree with you. But, the end decision by mods was that they would wait for a Cease and Desist from HTC to remove this thread and not protect developers who undergo this project (so everyone knows the legal position). Needless to say, it seems to be an offensive topic to some (so probably shouldn't be mentioned again)

But yes, sense being closed source is a major problem. When Froyo 2.2 gets released though (rather than the hacked up pre-release version we currently have), there might be a better chance developers can get it going. But I do agree, it is questionable as to whether it will ever integrate properly, unless people are willing to spend huge amounts of time plowing through the code with a decompiler (which I theorise could possibly result in a unmaintainable mess).

Overall, it might be easier to develop a clone/something better from scratch and use Cyanogenmod.

add me for 25 AUD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
By the way, people should also mention what their requirements are for bounties, because whilst some might require that all hardware functionality operates (ie, hardware which works on touchwiz works on sense), some people might be happy with only core hardware support (bluetooth, gps wifi or multitouch broken). Some might also
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
YES! This.

I'd be willing to help out with the design-part of a project like this.

A great example is the MIUI-rom (search for it!). Fantastic looks, great performance, innovations (widget-management) seamless and fluid experience. That's what people want, that's what I want, and that's something that the Galaxy S needs. Because the standard interface doesn't do the awesome hardware justice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trinitronik:
If you wan't it, it doesn't means that everyone wan't it insted Desire HD rom...

To Devs: Could official froyo's sourcecode help you to port Desire HD?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
I meant this part when I said that's what everyone wants:

"Fantastic looks, great performance, innovations (widget-management) seamless and fluid experience"

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Put me down for £10 if you can do a semi-port to the SGS, and £20 if you can do a partially but stable release with Bluetooth/Wifi/etc working. I'm not saying fully working, just partially. Glad you guys made this into a Bounty thread! Now the wait begins. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hayden4018:
I'm in with 20$ for a fully working ROM for the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
I doubt this will ever happen.

I bet 50$ that this port will never happen. :cool:

If you don't believe me, just ask yourself why we still need a halfbaked recovery (look at the Nexus One's RA_Recovery) or a f###ing Flash tool (Odin) which just works on Windows (Heimdall is no alternative on OS X & Linux... :mad:).

Sad. I will leave this whole Samsung CRAP and head over to real ROMs like HTC Devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
No your wrong, I've been following desire hd news for quite some time, benchmarks have have stated that its better than the sgs and iphone combined
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jam3sjam3s:
It seems that you are not pretty good at reading benchmarks scores...

Well, ok, I'll explain you a bit. The higher the score is, the better.

SGS has more points than DHD, so it's better. You get it?

Lets for example take results in GLBench. SGS has ~1900 frames, DHD has ~1400 frames. This means SGS is about 35% better :)

Another example. DHD scores ~2000 points in quadrant, SGS scores ~2300 points. That means SGS is about 15% better than DHD.

So its not a surprise we want DHD software on SGS. We want better software on the superior hardware :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
Either way, benchmarks mean very little. It depends on the workloads
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] johcos:
i have run quadrant a million times with all different lag fixes and the best I could get was around 1900 with nothing else installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
Guys, the speed of the Desire HD isn't relevant, and even if it were, it doesn't change the fact that synthetic benchmarks mean nothing in the real world. None of them are realistic workloads, and on both PC and phone, many benchmarks do stuff which isn't considered remotely normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mib1800:
I am still confused why there is a need to port the entire ROM. Isnt it just sufficient to port the apps over (e.g. Sense launcher/contact/widgets etc). We already have some of those equivalent Sense widgets in Launcherpro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
@Darkyy GTFO then!

Porting the whole ROM will create a more stable release and more features will work properly. Just having Sense won't do much, so full capability is ideal.

And LauncherPro is nothing compared to HTC's Sense/ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
How do you know?

Porting the whole ROM might actually lead to a less stable experience, because all the drivers need to be manually added/tested, and the entire base needs to be re-added. Furthermore, for all we know, some of the HTC components may have been designed specifically for HTC hardware, and have special patches which are applied for each HTC mobile device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kramerty88:
Willing To donate 25 for fully working port
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
fyi - i got JPK with lagfix 2.0, its still around 1900+ , but now i feel it lags more with the improved speeds...

just because the database/read/write is improved, does not mean the whole 2d experience changes, as its not filesystem writes we talk about here..

might be relevant, i got the starwars droid2 live screen running on mine right now (for the fun of it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MemphisLeak:
You kind of explained why it needs porting thur.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MemphisLeak:
People want the ROM ported over in hope of stability and increased speed found on the Desire HD. Also the 3 second boot is SWEEET
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dwillMUFC:
Its not a 3 second boot, merely put into a low power, low processing speed hibernation mode.

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Htc sense needs to be ported along side w/e rom it has with it, you cant port "htc sense" separately its has to many dependencies to the rom's framework etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DangerMUK:
I'll throw £30 into the pot for Galaxy S i9000 ! :)

Reasonably functional :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
What I mean is that I'd expect there are two ways of doing this:

1) Take a Samsung Galaxy S ROM as a base and adapt it to include sense (and the frameworks)

2) To use a Desire ROM, and modify the base to work on the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I don't agree with that. From past experience with M2D with WinMo and getting that to port over, it took longer and more time to port JUST the Manilla interface and half the features didn't work. After a while a stable release was created, but because parts were used from the Official ROM. Just slapping Sense onto the SGS won't create a fully functional release, we will still have issues with certain tabs etc. Getting the whole framework/structure to be ported along with Sense will mean that the necessary drivers needed will be present, and Sense can work fine with them. Granted, it'll take longer to actually get the WHOLE ROM to work properly, but it's worth it rather than just getting Sense.

Thing is, we don't know for sure as no one as really dug up a lot about it, only time will tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itsjusttim:
Well now that the source code for 2.2 is out, maybe we could see some progress on this soon
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trinitronik:
Yeah! And JIT is Enabled!!! So the problems with JIT are solved!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] faresmasouty:
when is the rom coming out :P

i really would love to have the desire hd rom on my sgs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xfox:
If this happens,my SGS will be perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
I had it on my desire right before I switched to sgs yesterday, it was a pain in the ass, especially with no camera, battery kill was horrendous, wouldn't last half a day, had to carry my charger with me all the time, unless its perfect on the sgs its probably not going to be worth it

desire rom port to galaxy s

whats wrong with have sense ui on galaxy s (vibrant) isnt the sense ui better than standard android, are we in the twilight zone, i cant believe no is working on this, i mean better widgets and ui.

I REALLY HOPE THIS HAPPENS!!! IT WOULD BE ASHAME FOR IT NOT TO.

what makes the EVO better than most phones is the hardware and, HELLO sense ui.

HD2 or samung vibrant would be as good with its hardware and HELLO sense ui!!

this is a no brainer.

Anyone else notice the new Gmail update? It is not notified as an update but is now a downloadable app from the market that supports priority mail etc. The app replaces / updates the internal Gmail.

Anyone know of a good free reboot app that doesnt requre a rooted device. Preferably just a button on the home screen that i press.

Any reccomendations?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mjaverto:
I have been looking for something similar myself but haven't found anything other than a task-killer which doesn't really re-start.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Keethos:
I've been using fast reboot which seems to work OK.....I think, it doesn't actually reboot the phone like, its more like a complete task killer that kills almost everything (including some of the core stuff) and freshes the phone, I get about most of my ram freed up (240mb) and the phone starts to run smooth again, but sometimes I still prefer to do a manual power down and up again.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] craigdabbs:
switch pro has a reboot button on there widget, think it might need root tho for any reboot app to work
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] sn707:
Yeah, it works great but needs root. With Universal Androot it is so easy to root, plus you can use Barnacle Wifi Tether (You have to find the .apk as its blocked in the market on Att 1.6.

Try QuickBoot in the android market

it has options for reboot, recovery and bootloader only the first option works on the sreak, i have emailed the dev but no response o_0

Its pretty cool coz you can have shortcut on your homescreen for them
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
I'm coming from a moto droid to an incredible to a Droid X to the fascinate and I've noticed some lag in the texting. Like if I want to type really fast I feel that it doesn't keep up 100% any fix for this?

Please don't day swype cause I hate it! Lol..
[Fascinate Android Development] phubeone:
I removed swype and went back to stock keyboard and its much better. Looking to use the HTC_ime keyboard but it still wont load though even though I have it checked under keyboards and languages. I used titanium backup to backup and remove swype.
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
But have you noticed any lag when typing? Its like the keyboard doesn't want to pick up sometimes.. I'm using smartkeyboardpro now and have used the stock keyboard...
[Fascinate Android Development] phubeone:
the only "lag" i noticed was when typing with the swype keyboard. It wouldn't be as responsive and would force me to slow down when I type. The stock, HTC_IME keyboard are both fine, no lag here.
[Fascinate Android Development] bikeandestroyx:
Only time i noticed lag was when my phone was plugged into the wall, every couple letters i type the screen was unresponsive for a second.
[Fascinate Android Development] CheetoDroid:
I'm using the droid x multi touch keyboard and haven't noticed any problems
[Fascinate Android Development] bikeandestroyx:
What apk did you use? I tried a few and could never get it to work right.
[Fascinate Android Development] Whitepaint:
Would really like to know this as well...
[Fascinate Android Development] phubeone:
Please enlight us, i've been wanting to try this keyboard on my fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] CheetoDroid:
I used one of the apk's that has been posted around the net. Make sure you are currently using the Swype keyboard then use root explorer to rename LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex to LatinIME.apk.bak and LatinIME.dex.apk. The multi touch apk file should install and work. If I were to do this again I would have made sure to have a nandroid backup done first.

Try the apk from this thread

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...touch-keyboard-has-been-ported-available.html

The one issue I have with it is that it doesn't keep the "vibrate on press" setting turned on after a reboot

For some reason I can't get the Multi-Touch keyboard to work on my fascinate. It's rooted, moved two latinime file but still doesn't work.

[Fascinate Android Development] CheetoDroid:
Does the api fail install?
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyv5:
No fail at all on install. I use astro to install and when done it says install successful. Is it supposed to copy a new LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex to system/app? After it installs I don't see those files in system/app.

Have you checked under settings- language?

[Epic 4G General] tcat025:
When I use my sprint charger everything is fine I can use the phone/screen with no problems...but any other micro usb causes the phone to lock up on the screen....any1 else having this problem? Any solution?
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I made a post about this the other day. Mine seems completely random. My phone will completely lock up and it requires a battery pull. I can go a week using the same charger and it may not do it then out the blue it will lock up.
[Epic 4G General] tcat025:
It makes no sense at all! Never had this problem with any other phone ever before
[Epic 4G General] caxiem:
I had the same problem using a clone travel charger from ebay. I also had a clone usb cable that won't recognize the Epic as a mass storage. I bought from this guy on ebay that sells OEM Samsung accessories and they all work perfectly for me.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Be very careful with these things, folks... many charges can have terrible voltage regulators on them. You don't want to kill a very nice phone now, do you. :) Stick with a good charger and cable. I use the stock cable and the Palm Pre charger cable. I've never had screen issues or lockups with other chargers, but I only use the Palm and Samsung chargers, to be honest.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Yes, be wary of cheapo chargers!

I was able to get a OEM Blackberry MicroUSB charger off amazon for about 4 bucks shipped and it works fine to charge my Epic. My friend also gave me one of her extra HTC chargers which came with her EVO and they also work fine. :)
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
my charger is a 800ma sanyo which should not cause issues. I have not had the issue within the past week either.
[Epic 4G General] joseamirandavelez:
Guys, check the output voltage of your chargers... specially on the cheap ones. its supposed to be no more than 5V. I broke my Hero's screen with a cheap charger with 5.5 V output. It starts by acting weird , then it looses touch capability when its connected and then stops working at all...
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
Hey guys please don't act like lil girls and tell me oh who believes you blah blah blah I'm only here to share what had happened to me.

A friend of mine wants the vibrant because she saw mine :D so today she called t mobile to buy one and they told her they are not selling it because an update will be released soon so she has to wait til the update comes out then they will sell it to her. I don't know why they would do that but that's coming from a sales rep at t mobile.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Hopefully this is true and we see something either by weeks end or in the next few weeks.
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
that's bull...you still can order it online and it's buy one get one free too...they are trying to dump them quick plus making you pay for 2 lines with a free phone.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
Complete bull. Phone updates are free and OTA. No salesman would turn down money because an update was coming out.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
Did you order it? Cuz if you didn't you can't say that because yeah they will still advertise it but won't sell it. I'm just hoping he was telling the truth
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Actually I think its probably because customer care systems are sold out of them. Software updates have never pushed back selling a phone.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Not sure who you talked to but this is completely inaccurate. There are no internal communications about halting sales for an update.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryan949:
Hello all,

I'm ready to root my 2.2 Dinc with Unrevoked3 on Linux. The directions I have read say I need at least 2GB of space. The card my phone came with was a 2GB. I formatted my card and the space only went from 1.85gb free, to 1.86.

If I run reflash.exe, will my phone proceed? Or do I need to purchase a larger card?

Thanks.

[Vibrant Accessories] chronos7:
I wish it thin enough to use regular cover, but it sounds great.
[Vibrant Accessories] cazish:
Eek...for $10 i'd rather have the two batteries + charger deal that is on eBay. Although not having to rip off a case and change a battery is nice, having a monster phone with no known applicable cases is the downside for me.
[Vibrant Accessories] JWhipple:
If it's anything like the Mugen extended battery, I won't be complaining. The Mugen increases the thickness of the phone from 9mm to 12mm. Not a big deal considering how thin the phone already is.

When I get mine I'll be spraying the battery cover with Plasti Dip, as someone in another thread did with their spare purple battery cover. Why? Because I HATE the glossy black - it's a fingerprint magnet! Plus, it's nice to have the rubberized finish - helps keep it from slipping out of your hand!

I have a belt pouch that I use that is just begging for a fatter phone - I figure I should be in good shape with it.
[Vibrant Accessories] JWhipple:
The sun has shined on this dog's a$$ - the battery just came! I ordered on Friday and it arrived today from California. I'm impressed!

It's not pretty - the door is fat and piano black - but I bought this for function, not fashion!

It was about 60% charged when I got it. I am going to drain fully then give it a full charge and start from there.
[Vibrant Accessories] badaphooko01:
Can you post some pics of battery and cover on the phone? I had one of those on my g1 back in the day and it sure wasn't pretty, but it did the job.

[Vibrant Accessories] ^Fs:
Is that thing even pocketable? Yikes. :eek:
[Vibrant Accessories] JWhipple:
Yep still pocketable.. It may look huge in the pics, but in reality it's probably no larger than a G1 with one of those snap-on covers.

I'm using a belt pouch that I had as well that is made for an iPhone 3gs w/ case , fits in there nicely.
[Vibrant Accessories] jgiard6:
Just obtained mine as well today. Gave it a full charge and battery life has doubled for me. I can finally make it through a day of heavy multimedia/browser use without having to stop to recharge. Back is constructed well, not as cheap as my old G1 Seidio extended battery back. As far as thickness goes, it's still thinner than my old Seidio.

Thanks OP for posting the pics.
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
Oh god, my eyes!

Seriously, that thing is HUGE. What kills me is that the battery is 2X the Samsung OEM, but it looks like it's more than twice as thick. I could deal with a bit of a bigger battery, say, expand the case to the point that the bottom hump is gone. I would think they could make at least a 2200mAh battery of that size.
[Vibrant Accessories] ^Fs:
The Fascinate's 2200mAh battery from the Samsung fits in the Vibrant. They just need to make a fitting back cover for the vibrant that will be compatible with it. :D
[Vibrant Accessories] dablackanarch:
I just ordered the 3000 mAh battery from AccessoryGeeks. It looks like the same type as the one that you guys bought on Ebay. I hope to get it by the end of the week and I'll give you guys an update on how it works.
