[Q] is it possible to port NOKIA X to our mini ? - HD Mini General

hi all dev-ers,
NOKIA X have low device request, and special ( android core, while wp ui ), is it possible that our mini could run it ?

Well, we still don't have a very stable one for Android, And the more important.... there are no developer left for Mini!
And I don't think to that at least now, Nokia X, is it that cool to be ported?
First for easy process, we must find an ARMv6 device that have port it to it's device, And we may grab that to port for our Device!
So if you found an ARMv6 device with Nokia X ROM, you can report me or reply your message here with a link and I may do that soon as possible
it's a nice news for you, but you have to find an ARMv6 device with Nokia X ROM interface, it should be version (Android 4.0 to 4.0.4), version 4.1 is not possible and nor ARMv7 device.

thanks iPlasm

Flash Lite / Flash 10.1 Support ?

The reports I've read online suggest the Legend doesn't ship with Flash Lite support as the Hero does. Also Adobe have said you need a snapdragon cpu or higher to get Flash 10.1 support.
Does this leave the Legend with no flash ?
The post be Adobe....
Hi all,
You can expect the final release for Android to be available mid-year. All Android devices that meet our minimum s/w and h/w requirements will be supported. Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot more publicly about our port to the Android platform at this time.
As for WinMo, we have made the tough decision to defer support for that platform until WinMo7. This is due to the fact that WinMo6.5 does not support some of the critical APIs that we need.
As for your other questions:
* Yes, we will support the Motorola Milestone.
* No, the HTC Hero will not be supported b/c it does not have the correct Anroid OS version and it’s chipset is not powerful enough. We require a device with an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series.
Best regards,
Antonio
i have this question too but i can't get an answer anywhere
well the pre-release one i saw could not play bbc iplayer programs (it crashed the browser) but it just about managed to play youtube, although quite slow and jerky.
It seems to have flash lite at the moment, but this was a pre-release device which didn't even have Sense on it yet.....
all the early reviews I've read said it does have flash and it works:

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-legend-review-0876928/
well playing "Restaurant City" (Facebook Flash Games) works - very slow but working...
Hi all,
Just thought I'd bump this as I haven't found a definitive answer just yet [please provide the necessary link if I have missed it!].
1] I presume Flash Lite is shipped & working with the Legend...?
2] Any news on 'full fat' Flash 10.1 support? As per OP, Adobe suggest a snapdragon processor is required, is this still the case? Will we ever see Flash 10.1 on the Legend?
Thanks in advance
Yup it comes with flash lite.
No news on Flash 10.1 for the Legend.
the legend must have flash lite flash works but it seems to be completely cpu based which leads to performance problems.
im surprised they would say that 10.1 needs snap dragon. the desktop flash10.1 added GPU acceleration i was under the impression that android 10.1 would bring the same which had a huge potential to increase flash performance making it close to if not perfect
also flash 10.1 will be in FroYo (2.2) chances are htc will update to 2.2 (least i hope) so we should get it anyway if not then custom rom it up!
hi guys, I am trying to port flash lite into LG optimus one. since the htc legend and Optimus one has the same processor and OS, it might be possible to just dump in the files into system\app and system\lib. So can someone extract the flash related files from these 2 folders?

Nice bump
Just download one of the Froyo ROMs in the Development section + dsixda's kitchen (check Chef Central -> Android) and extract all files you need.
thanks for the info.

Can this be done?

Hi everyone.
Devs, please read this: http://www.xda-developers.com/developments/mozillas-boot-to-gecko-running-on-a-samsung-galaxy-sii/
Is it possible for X8?
It looks like a nice OS, and i think that maybe it would be possible to make a custom bootloader that'll bypass android and directly boot into Boot-to-gecko. That would be waaay to cool
I haven't looked at the Boot to Gecko source (not even sure if Mozilla open sourced it yet), but chances are that this is meant for ARMv7 / TEGRA series CPUs
Since it's based on the underpinnings of Android I don't think that a change of the boot loader is really necessary, but it might require some efforts to port it to the ARMv6 series (unless Mozilla doesn't use ARMv7 specific code).
EDIT: On a second thought ... with this we're most likely back to old problem of DRIVERS for the X8.

Yeah, you're right here, we just have to cross our fingers that Mozilla will use ARMv6 Compatible code.
About the drivers. Well, some of us, with older x8's have unlocked bootloader, so it shouldn't really be a problem. Plus, we have really good devs. Problems would be for those persons that have 11W29 + Phones

Vodafone Smart Mini (V875).. Very Decent devices, not known

Hello everyone,
So basically I own a very nice phone with decent specifications but not many people know it, so I decided to come here and Ask
First of all, it's the Vodafone Smart mini, aka. TCT Vodafone V875, It has 3.5" HVGA screen, resolution 320x480, MTK 6575 1ghz single core cpu and a PowerVR gpu which gives amazing performance
So, I've been looking all over internet for a custom rom for it, I was able to root it using the amazing Framaroot and I got custom recovery from smartmini.wordpress.com, that website has a custom rom stock based for it but that's not what I'm looking for
I'm looking for something like AOKP or CM or Paranoid for my device, that gives me an android version higher than 4.1.1 since that's what the device comes with
What I'm asking for is a custom rom with android version 4.1.2+ that is the same as CM or any other famous roms so if there is or if there are people working on one(s) please give me link and thank you
Also a little link to help devs looking forward to develop a rom for the device : http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/VF875_20130619.tar.xz/download
It's the device's source code
i too would like this.
Good luck
It actually seems more responsive than my droid4.

Android 5 Lollipop on HD Mini!

Hi I've seen developers ported Lollipop for HTC explorer in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-explorer/orig-development/dev-cyanogenmod-12-11-19-2012-alpha1-t2945587
And hd mini and explorer has exactly same hardware
So if there is any developer who can port that rom for hd mini please do that
I know port a ported rom is not good but we can fix the problems together

How is it the same?

hdmini has 384mb ram while the explorer has 512mb

Hi,
Lenovo Vibe X2 is having same specifications as you said. I think it is possible to port that rom in Infocus M530 but, before that I want to say that the lenovo X2's L update is having some serious bugs. Please check it. And one more thing, in order to port you need custom recovery. Did ported any custom recovery into your M530. If yes, please let me know. Because I tried lot times & failed to port CWM & as well as TWRP.
No update for our device yet?
No custom rom,No recovery..... Is infocus m530 support dead?

Nope. Since it is rooted you can directly write to the raw partitions for "flashing" a rom, thus no need for a recovery. But it is too dangerous. One tiny error would brick the device.

so better to buy a new phone than waiting for a os update...
I have a zopo zp999 (with a shattered screen so I'm back on ol' faithful - Galaxy Note 2 n7100)
The whole MT6595 I think suffered from being relatively closed source. Even though there was an ubuntu version of the mi3 I think and its source code released, other manufacturers didn't come to the party - like zopo.
Manufacturers are really their own worst enemy for slitting their own throats by being so restrictive with source.
It also might be partly associated with the MT6595 containing a PowerVR GPU.
Non-Mali (ARM) gpus tend to be more closed with their drivers too.
Whereas ARM have been releasing the drivers for their mali gpus for years now.
the MT6595 was the targeted at being a super-mid SoC. The top of its time. I think the last 32-bit CPU, and once the 64-bit MT697x cortex A57 & A53 based product well everyone lost interest really.
It's a good modem. They have a pretty good engineering mode - eg ability to choose LTE/HSPA frequencies.
beyond that... eh...
