Won't work because of kernel incompatibility. What ROM is it you want to flash?

But most of mt4g's hardware spec close to dhd. And so far i know ics creamed glacier use lordchan kernel which is dhd's kernel and it still boot but the wifi fail.
I want to flash flydom by zfreak.
Actually i can port it my self with rom kitchen but im curious.

The ROM won't boot, but if you don't believe me, try flashing it and see for yourself. If DHD ROMs were compatible with the MT4G, there would be a whole lot of happy MT4G owners running those ROMs. There's a reason DHD ROMs have to be ported specifically for the MT4G (see RCMix Sense 3.5, for example).

Oh thanks buddy. I will port it then. Do you know which specific files need to replace in dhd rom? Since the spec is close i think its not necessary to replace all system/etc, bin, lib, etc

I don't personally, no, but someone will see this and let you know. As far as I know, it's relatively easy because of how similar to two devices are.

Just run it through Dsixda's Rom Kitchen. You can get a basic port in 15 minutes.

yes i'm using it. but the important thing is which files to replace and keep. i have read tutorial about porting sense to other sense device but it's too general. i think it doesn't need to replace all driver or libs because MT4G and dhd is identical in hardware.
any idea which files to replace? i have extract beatmod bliss sense (which is multi device rom) to find out the specific files for MT4G. but when i replace the files (and some rename from spade to glacier) with files in beatmod i got bootloop.

Well you need to get a MT4G compatible kernel first... that requires a Linux system to decompile the boot.img. then you need, of course, to edit the build.prop so that the device says Glacier instead of DHD...
Also, you can't use beat mod bliss sense files on flydom ROM because they are two different ROMs. One is Sense 3.5, the other is Sense 3.0...
Hope this helps
Also, please ask the dev (zfreak) before porting. Who knows? He might be able to help you out.

so i can't use boot.img from another sense rom for mt4g? beatmod for example? i thought that it was okay. haha.
i've change the build.prop ofcourse and replace some files in lib, etc, usr

No, because like i said before, you need to change the kernel. And to do that requires a Linux machine...
Beat mod bliss sense ROM is Sense 3.5. This one is Sense 3.0.

alright, dsixda's kitchen has a feature to edit the boot.img,i'll search for the tutorial.
i thought difference between sense 3.5 and 3.0 only in app, framework, and some libs. i dont think that for fundamental files like drivers also different. so i use beatmod.

To port a rom from dhd you need to replace boot.img the wifi module a couple camera libs and the key layout and keychars in /system/usr I'm sure there's something else but can't remember off the top of my head

maybe this can help, I don't have enough speed to download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186021&highlight=beatmod
if you download that do you mind to share it to me the lib, etc, bin, build.prob, and boot.img? it will make the files smaller to download rather than the 500MB ROM.

Cause I honestly like the stock rom the way it is and think it runs smooth without any other additionals or anything like that.

Fair enough. If you're stock now make a nandroid, upload the system.img and boot.img that it makes somewhere and send me the link.

Awesome lockscreen.

Sorry if a thread like this was already posted (I searched, no results), but, I have a question.
Can we somehow extract the super awesome Sense 3.0 lockscreen from this ROM and flash it on other ROMs (in my case CM7)?
Thanks.

[Q] The elusive MT4G doubleshot rom

I have downloaded the following rom: PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.8_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201296_signed.zip
which I believe is the official TMOUS rom for the doubleshot. will it work on the MT4G? I am hesitant to install it as I don't want to screw my phone up to the point where I brick it, can anyone provide some guidance as to if you have tried it, if so, what were the results, thanks in advance.
Under no circumstances should you flash it on to your phone. It has an hboot, radio, and rom that are all incompatible with our hardware. Flashing an incorrect hboot or radio makes your phone a brick. If you want to run the doubleshot rom, search google for raftvittos doubleshot port.

Im no dev...but probably not 1) you might brick your device 2) Im pretty sure if it boots youll lose root....just wait for a ďev to cook it up IMHO.
Don't flash it. For the love of god, do not flash it. Unless of course you want a $600 paperweight.

[Q] Can i add sense to a non sense rom

Is there a way to pull sense from a rom and put it onto another rom??
Example: im running a non sense version of ICS on my mytouch4g and want to use Sense 4.0 from another rom.
Is it possible and how??
Please help
No, well, it wouldn't be easy. The framework is pretty different. You need a sense rom to run all the sense widgets and stuff
No, it's impossible. It requires different framework, which requires different kernel, which adds up to completely different ROM.
ok then can i pull the camera from one working ICS rom and put it onto another
