I would imagine not. The Wildfire is a low-end phone, marketed to be an introductory low-budget Android phone for those who are new to the idea of a smartphone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] williegomezt:
great news, thank you to all the people still working on the Hero, really appreciate it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
HTC_ime mod seems to be force closing on me. :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
I'm getting the IME force closes, plus everything is in Chinese:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Good for you guys! Great bandwidth, grabed it in under 2 minutes. Should prove to be an interesting ride. Thank you both for keeping the hero new and fun.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Uhmm. Chill. I'll squash the HTC_IME bug in a second, NFinitefx is working on US/English localization
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
is the small pngs a problem with the framework-res or the rosie.apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
Hey, no rush. Anything you guys can do is fantastic. Soon as I got to setting up Sense I got the option to switch to English anyway. This ROM is amazingly fast--can't wait 'til it's up and running. I gotta get to bed for tonight, though, so I'll keep playing with this tomorrow.

All you devs are fantastic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
both along with every other apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
So, is this just some version of SenseUI on top of the CM6 we've already had? or something else entirely?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well finally got the lockscreen looking better, damn there is just so much editing for each of these
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
Haha, on my last flash the lockscreen was the least of the worries. I was much more concerned about the "child's sized" keyboard in the lower left hand corner. Still, glad to see you got it working and that the progress is being made. This ROM is honestly incredible and you guys deserve to spend your Friday night on the town, not hunched over your computers making sure us Sense-addicted n00bs get the ROM we want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
I installed the HTC_ime mod for 2.2 from the hero themes and apps forum it works perfect on this Rom full size and easily installs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 00soez00:
The size has a big bug... and wifi is dead :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
so being that this is sense based, will you be able to update prl, etc in this, the same that you can in fresh and the other 2.1 based sense roms?

Thanks again for all the hard work guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Mac:
Nandroid wont backup ext for some odd reason....1.7 or 1.6...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Mac:
there are a bunch, can u link it please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
It's from the Wildfire. This is called an Alpha release. It's not Stable, or even Beta, it's a proof of concept and has many bugs due to the device it comes from having a smaller resolution than us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Mac:
also, on 1.7 when changing default wallpaper, wallpapers appear to be missing, forces me to use saved ones from 2.1 and zoom in. looks like garbage...wasnt an issue with 1.6
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyline247:
Wouldn't it be nice if people would read first b4 installing something, and realize that an Alpha is just that - the "beginning" of something great. :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
They expect to much to quick
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes well the progress is slowing down now as this is the dreaded part, converting from ldpi to mdpi this requires anywherer from 200 to 400 edits to the xmls, plus conversion of the graphics to mdpi sizes which can be from 100 to god knows how many, and this is per apk. So times this by 130+ apks. and now we are ready.

Can anyone say drinking binge................................

So a call to all those with the abilty to do this, to come give a hand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
i dont know how to but if you give me some direction on how to do this(maybe some links or something) im more then happy to help you out man. Thats alot of work for only 3 people. I would love to see this put together and it would make it even more better if i could say hey i helped out just a lil bit instead of just leaching, you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
+1 I wanna help too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
+1 on helping if u tell me where to go to learn. Wanting to get into it anyways, just don't know where to start
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well this is a learn as you go process even for me, but what you need is apk manager 4.9 or apktool, notepad++. Then you decompile one of our original files from the stock hero rom, and decompile the same apk from this rom then the fun begins.

file for file on the xmls you need to open both in split view on notepad++ and run the compare to see what is the same + what might be in one and not the other then go thru and start changing the sizes in wildfire file to what is reflected from or stock file. Then the ones that don’t have any alignment you have to figure out the percentage of difference on average and insert that.

Once done that you copy over the corresponding graphics and modify the ones that don’t have a match to our system. once done that recompile it back then open the new apk with 7zip and copy over the cert folder and android manifest from the original wildfire apk to the 7zip window to insert them back.

In other words a pain in the ass!!.

If you want to try it I will help you with what I know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Wow. ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
couldnt have said it better myself. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyline247:
+1 Never knew how much was involved. I've got a headache just thinking about it. Kudos to all working on this. (and to think I almost took up comp programming in college, whew!) :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] surrealbliss:
I too want to help, so I started looking for the tools you mentioned.. figured I'd link them all here for any others interested. :D

APK Manager 4.9 for Windows - http://www.multiupload.com/GXW01G6URJ

APK Manager 4.3 for Linux - http://www.multiupload.com/7XEQYT3FUH

APK Tool - http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list

Notepad ++ - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/release/5.8.1

7Zip - http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

hope that helps out some others looking to start out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
If we could spread out the work to like even 2 apps per person, we'd have this fully resized and MOSTLY functional pretty quickly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
if anyone wants it, here is the keyboard that im using with this rom. it works great, its just a plain htc_ime keyboard and can be installed using any apk installer.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
yea...........WOW..... i just downloaded all the stuff and i think by the time i get it all figured out and ready to start yall will be working on porting 9.9 with sence kinetic. so yea................... good luck and IF i figure this out i will be sure to jump on bored but till then........... wow..... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well rosie is starting to look better
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
I just downloaded the last release and was about to flash, should I hold off?

Looks great btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Rosie is starting to look immensely better than the initial release. Good job for every who is pitching in on this effort. It looks amazing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
So I wanted to go ahead and ask, what/how is this project going to be organized? and is there an FTP we can upload to, or are you doing this by pm status? Also how will we know who is on what apk?

I was thinking of proposing a separate thread just for this, with the first post being a directory structure, and people's handles by each file they are on, and showing which files are still available to work on and leave this thread to just posting major updates. And then each night the op. could just copy the links of each apk file and place on the 2nd post on the devel. thread, and update the list as needed, with one person set aside for flashing each apk to test and confirm it's working, and the op could read from a 3rd post from that person (blah)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no, I am not going to do a release till I get a few more done, I may just make a flashable update for atleast rosie and clock widget , still need to edit more of rosie but I was getting burnt out ater about 400 edits
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, because this is not Sprint sense based.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Actually I was thinking of setting up an ftp on my server and opening up an irc channel would be the best for keeping everyone in touch, then we could post a list of all apks and people could just download that an post which one they want to take one then add there name to the list next to the apk.

But I just havent had the time to do all this. I have my own intranet server already running maybe I will open it to public address or just setup a ftp.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I have a server running myself, but never hosted irc. Great idea though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Thanks will try to work on setting up irc today

this is where we are at currently: not sure what decad3nce and beezy420 are working on.

Pass: sprint
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
This is for the 3 developers working hard on this rom...

TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF - TURN OFF THE COMPUTER.

You deserve a break - We will be here when you come back.

Cheers to all you do!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Also if you need a ftp mirror I would be happy to accommodate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
YOURE burnt out!? Im burnt out from just reading the list of things you guys have left to do!

You guys should set up a beer donation system haha. Gata stay properly hydrated!

So when all is said and done, to update prl, you would need to flash back to sense that came on the phone and then flash back to the current nandroid?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefp:
Amazing work getting Froyo on the Hero. Lol it's like they were meant to be... Froyo Hero. Your contributions are greatly appreciated by millions of Hero owners!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well this is something we will work on beezy420 is trying to get the update system to work on this so who knows what we will have by the end.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
May want to reach out to zenulator/zippy-man when that time comes around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
agreed well right now beezy adn gbhill are looking into getting it up and running , but hey the more the better
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
please tell gbhil to make one of his awesome kernels for this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
This is coming together guys! I may abandon CM6 once this is set up some more :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
ill wait for a final release myself. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I will be over the final release myself
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's what I meant lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
You have to admit its going very well thus far xD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It really is... great work to the developers!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I would drop CM6 for this once its finished. There is something about sense that I love.

Want the speed of Stock

But the look of Sense

This will be the rom to kick much ass
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I agree with your synopsis completely :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] K@ng2011:
The only thing I do not like about Sense is the dumb rainbow dock bar, but since I am rooted anyways, I can change it. Nothing comes close to Sense, LauncherPro is a close second but to many fc's that can get annoying
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, sense is still king, if it's fast, which this will be!!!! Come on, I'm too anxious for this now :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
You seem to know stuff.. why not help them finish up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I don't know a ton about rom development, or trust me, I would
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I am a rom developer, and I can tell you I don't know much.. Though I kinda cheat since I started with the android kitchen, but everyday it get's a little easier, but I think this department actually get's a little more into scripting/understanding java (which isn't that hard btw) and a background in theming helps (which I really have not done much of) but I will be contributing as soon as possible. This WILL be the hero update that would never have come otherwise.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
I'm right behind ya!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
So It's really not that difficult?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
I have a website that I can host some files if need be.

Let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
i'm just wondering if the Legend ever gets dropped, will this ROM drop off the map?

from what I understand the Legend would take very little work (comparatively) to get full function?

i've been watching this thread like a hawk, but just not feeling especially experimental this week. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The legend port should be easier than this, if HTC ever updates the legend, and as we know with HTC updates, December 2009 can turn into July 2010 :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
No if anything it will just bring this to a completion faster

the wildfire is much easier to posrt hardware wise very close to the hero, but the legend will unlock the key to a 100proper looking finished product as it is mdpi.

So we actually need both to get a near perfect product. I dont know if it will ever be perfect lets face it if we can pull that of sprint should bow down to us...LMAO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sprint should anyways lol, you guys do more for us that Sprint ever could :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Looking at your sig, you have done more difficult things than this. Actually with those things under your belt, your a prime candidate to help out as you should be familiar with the android structure.

Rom cooking is not hard at all man. Usually just take a sprint RUU, throw it in Android Kitchen to open it up, do what you want, toy with the files how you want, and then build and flash. That simple.

+1. Actually they should already be bowing. If it weren't for dev's making things like the wireless tether, then they wouldn't be able to make folks pay for sharing their internet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Sprint would rather take one of their still good mid range phones a leave it to die. Reason I have no Idea. All I know is that it is obviously still a good phone and deserves to be immersed in sweet creamy froyo goodness xD

I dub thee froyo-sense

(for your sense of mind) xD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well I may have to take a look into it if it's that easy then :) Only thing is this is a port, not a Sprint RUU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Impaler, you are a prime contender for cooking. I have been following Nfinite for some time now and most have used something Decad3nce dreamed up. Not very familiar with Beezy but I am sure that is by choice. Much of what I have seen you have worked on is just as good but in different ways. I say the more devs working together on a project the better the end result will be. I admitt I too have been toying with a few things in the kitchen but strugle to really understand the file structure yet? I guess that is my fault for being so PC'd. I have yet to see any theme applied over a rom look and act stock. The roms with the themes built in seem to work and feel better... You guys catching what I am tossing out there? No matter who is doing what this entire community just wants a good working product with some personality. Cheers to all of you that make our Hero's fun and flexable!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well I just wouldn't want to screw something up and have the project slowed down because of something I did, seeing as it would be my first time actually making a rom ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well you wont learn till you try and believe me my first rom was a pain in my ass but hey that is how you learn
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's true... well I can help you guys on the weekend, I'm too busy during the week. Just let me know what you'll need :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Good stuff now the elite team is slowly being assembled!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
LOL I hope I become elite when it comes to rom development :D But like I said contact me Nfinite and I'll be happy to assist.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] morepr:
CAMERA

The camera dosnt work and the wifi also those someone have the fix.zip for it??????????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] customhdrider:
This is a alpha port,the devs are doing awesome getting this to us,read before flashing or posting that things aren't working,,give UT time,,nifinite,dude you guys are great,thanks for all the hard work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Have Patience my friend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Only if Fresh... Damageless...and Darchstar were here...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
True true... we can do it without them though!

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0be:
I'm a perl-fu master, maybe I could provide you with a little perl script to speed up the process. PM Me a good way to communicate about the topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
This is the start of something amazing and to think that Sprint was gonna be like

"Hell naw!"

and we wuz like

"Hell yeah!!!!"

And they wuz like

"Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"

xD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slaxer07:
I may be jumping in the deep end here as a newb, but I've been playing around with android kitchen and replaced most the htc widgets from ninfinite's nfx-hero rom into this froyo rom and they work, at the correct resolution (so I think at least corrent screen placement). So by using some of the old apk's could we not speed up the completion of this rom or I wrong here?

I havent tried anything else yet, I was just trying to see if it would work for now.

OHH and by newb I mean this is the first time I've ever used android kitchen. The only experience I have is taking advantage of the wonderful roms you developers put out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Is the resolution issue as simple as taking each PNG file and resizing it? Or is it more complicated than that? If y'all need help with graphics let me know in pm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] idogxx:
thx for you hard work!

can you port this sense to vga?

or can you tell me how to port to VGA?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gitemwet66:
So I have downloaded the tools for checking the apks. That's as for as it gets. I believe I decompiled the weather apk and opened the fade_in xml document in notebook. I'm not sure what to do with this from here. I'd like to learn but have no clue. Please help me as I would like to learn and help this project.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
yes im just about to decompile some so ide like to figure some of this out also so i could help and we could hopefully make this a community project and get this mostly functional in a reasonable time frame. its not fair to put all the work on a few people.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
well my approach is simple you open the apk then look in the res folder and at the layout-ldpi and layout land ldpi (or similar named ) inside these will be dimension.xml compare those with an apk from a sense based 2.1 and the 2.2 apk your trying to fix . Pull the old switcheroo with the .png files, recompile the apk and test to see if it works. I just woke up so if this isn't a good explanation let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
I installed last night, and the ROM is AWSOME! Nice work guys...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
Soooo can we expect an update soon??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
Dang, I take a 2 day break from XDA and everything explodes.

I guess count me in on that list of people who can help. I've got a little bit of experience cooking in the kitchen and would love to lend a hand if you all still need one. If not ill just sit back and patiently here with ZenEXP:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] morepr:
Sorry ppl im really impatient its a nice @$%# ass rom i love it its just that the cam and the wifi issue but i have faith in u guys great job!!!!
