Thought I already was ;D
I can't do it without source code so it'll probably be a month or so after Google's official announcement
The phone itself should have no problem running it in theory, however, the whole experience might (probably will) suck due to the lesser hardware in the Wildfire.
That is unless Google tweaked & performance tuned it and all its new features so that it does not require anything more powerful that the 2.2 does.

Jacob you're awesome!
Iv'e heard that things like scrolling and stuff will be smoother, will it be on the Wildfire?
He said he'll try port it to the wildfire
I haven't rooted my wildfire yet, but maybe Gingerbread will change that

Funniest comment on XDA. BTW ur awesome Jacob. I hope Google doesn't specify u need hardware out the wazoo and stuff. I think Google wouldn't be so evil and let Gingerbread run smoothly on low-end hardware.

Most official Wildfires still haven't got 2.2 yet so most like custom mods will be our only source for 2.3. I haven't seen much that is interesting in 2.3. As far as I can see it is going to bring updates that make android more tablet friendly.

Jackob WON! Congrats! Keep on the good work=)
Just wondering, but since Gingerbread is out now: I would love to know if:
a) it can be configured to run on the Wildfire?
b) how/who/when can do it, to make it happen?
c) if there are plans to build cyanogen mod on Gingerbread
Thanks and looking forward to it
You'll have to wait a few weeks as it hasn't been put on AOSP yet meaning the source isn't available. You might see a port of the emulator image on the nexus one as that has been done before with froyo. Once we have source it should(afaik) be a case of modifying the vendors that adeadrat and Jacob are using now to accommodate for the new build.prop etc.

well: I guess that wasn't the warmest possible welcome into the developing world. Hope for you guys that it's not all too rough out there ... I really have fun trying out the different custom ROMs that there are. I would even report bugs, as that's about the only thing I could contribute ...
still am excited to see how the work in Gingerbread for Wildfire is going, since I suspect it will be the last major release that can be run on the wildfire.
PS: This thread may not be completely lost if some folks who are into developing post any announcements on Gingerbread for Wildfire here ...
... have a happy Gingerbread Season!

This topic perfectly answers your questions : [Q]Gingerbread for Wildfire?
I'm not saying anything against you, and you're a new comer, the least would have been to read some topics.
Damn you already ported the gingerbread?! Nice work, How is it? Does it run smoother then 2.1/2.2 or is gingerbread more for tablets then this budget phone.

Amazing. Looking forward to it Jacob! =D
good work guys... please refine this rom and make the wildfire a great purchase for all people as it is a great little phone..
Also i don't know if this could be done but can something be done in regards to the resolution of the wildfire... please lol or is there a replacement screen for the wildfire? ......cause i really would like to get another screen and if anyone knows where that would be great.
I only know for the resolution of the wildfire, that there is a pixel density changer (I have no idea if this is any good, but you could look into it if you really want to change it)

do you think when the sources get released you would have much chance of building a full (or near full) working honeycomb rom?

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.
If it's built from SDK I bet that almost none of the hardware is working...

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!
Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

Hey y'all, i'm just asking whether you'd like WebOS running on the desire z. Think about it, the desire z would be AWESOME with webos, and it would be (relatively) easy to compile, since it's got the same processor as the Veer.
webOS is fine...
but i was hoping someone could make a windows mobile ROM... but that's clearly impossible since its not open source...
oh well... but i vote for webOS.... even if its not that good, it would help the developement...

Yep, that's my understanding as well. The hardware drivers don't exist, so they would have to be made from scratch. A huge amount of work to get what is . . .yes a dead OS onto our phone. So unless the OP or somebody he knows is planning to take this on as a project, this is kind of a pointless post.
Other than that, more variety on ROMs is always a good thing. If you don't want it, don't flash it. So there is no real "downside" to having WebOS ported over.
Other than the "because we can" aspects why webOS?
I would much prefer a windows phone Rom...
Sent from my HTC Flyer using XDA App
I'm new to here... but this poll really suit me, as I have currently a Desire Z & a Pre 3! I would love to have webOS on Desire Z but I prefer vertical keyboard. Horizontal keyboard is good but a bit too large for rapid typing.
So my answer is: if I don't have Pre 3, Excellent to have webOS on Desire Z. But since I have one already, it's also a good idea for me to have a Android phone, mostly for apps and games.

Well, "Everything is relative", a smart guy once said. So true. and i must admit, maybe i exaggerated a bit by saying "easy", 'cause nothing i've ever seen related to coding seems easy at all. i know nothing about coding, but i do know that if you can make the processor run without modifications, then the rest won't be too hard. After all, it is a SoC . I may be wrong, but i can't help it.
This would be more like Proof-of-Concept in my books...regardless, I'd definitely give it a whirl!
sorry, but i think i puked a little when i read the topic... I was using webos on my touchpad and damn it was more of a scientific demonstration of what it can do.. it's painfully unpolished.
I've never seen webos. Hellz bellz yeah ill ride that donkey for a day. It cannot possibly be any worse than Amazons horriibly kanged android.
I also want to see XP on it since the fella in that other thread brought it up. MSDOS too.

It would be interesting to see, but that's definitely a LOT of work.
Let's see that what's we have here? The most problem with porting job is linux kernel and drivers compatible and fully functionals working. We have some working Android kernel 3.x, the most close version compared with official Linux kernel, WebOS is based on Linux kernel also. If developers still interesting on porting it then they can do it a quite easy than the time before kernel 3.x got working.

I was hoping someone could answer a question I have about the possibility of porting from the Desire VT. Both share the same Adreno 200 GPU and also share other similiar traits like being the same pixel size. From older posts I remember people saying it would be more easy to port from one phone to another if the GPU was the same and if the size was similiar so it wouldn't need to be resized. If this is indeed true wouldn't the Desire VT make the best choice to have a working port of sense 4 to our HD2? If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Below are some specs of the two devices. Thanks in advance.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_vt-4830.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hd2-2957.php
Its not the graphics, or the pixel size. We had working acceleration, from what i have heard its Chipset drivers that are the issue so sound and other things will be impossible to port. but i dont know much on the VT to say much about porting from *that* phone
EDIT-
Actually this will have had the same issues in porting if not more. I am 100% sure unless we have gods for devs that can create libs from nothing
Yeah I recall that not having any libs was the issue the developers was running into. I only thought that since they share the same Adreno 200 GPU that maybe it could allow for a 'slightly' easier port. Also I seen a post here on XDA somewhere and if I remember it correctly a developer "claimed" to have sense 4.0 fully working but was to busy to post further details and said they would after their current project was over. Yes I know it seemed like b.s. but I was still holding onto a bit if hope. lol.
Team Blackouts was the only one that wound up booting, there was another working on it but couldnt boot it up, the phone i believe off the top of my head was the One V which also shares the Adreno 200 or similar specs but yea its all in the Chipset as to where we would get on sense 4.x
Yes I had followed both threads very close. Actually the HTC One V has Adreno 205. Unfortunately for us the QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset thats on the HD2 seems to not been used in quite some time. Plus the HTC Desire as well as the Nexus One, both of which are very closely related to our phone have stopped receiving updates. UHGG!! It was wishful thinking anyway.
I'll just need to cave in and try to get a HTC Desire X. Since its going to be a rather budget friendly phone it looks as though this is my best option to have sense 4. I hope they release it in the states as well though.
i started working on it today...
give me some time to look at it.....:highfive:
edit: this is adreno 200 ,this good

Thanks but I was thinking the Desire VT had its own thread. This is a link to the Desire thread with a port of the Desire VT ROM. Its actually what I came across that made me think it would be possible for our phones to work too. Then when I looked at the specs I thought it might of been our best shot at a working sense 4.0 ROM.
So if i install the desire vt zip it will work, or not?
It will not. mwakious said that they will look into it so please be patient since this can take quite a while to do. When porting a ROM there are
several files that needs to be replaced. Even then there can be many things that could cause it to not boot correctly. Check back in a few days.

im only asking 'if' as it seem'd to no update
In all honesty Its not likely it will work for our HD2 but I was thinking since the GPU was the same it might be a little easier for a developer to give it a go. Easier still suggests
its going to be a pretty big undertaking so please be patient. Even if it doesn't work out I think people should still thank mwakious for the time he's looked into it for us.
