It's sort of in a legal gray area. XDA has no problem with it unless HTC does, which seems to be my approach too. If they threaten us with legal action, I would be done with this project. They haven't and likely won't (I would assume they know, but don't care or are trying not to appear hostile towards developers), so I am still working on this.
so any progress in your work?

If it was then there would have been a port long ago I assume...I guess lack of source is the thing making it tough to port

This thread has died as HTC has closed access to their open-source Sense (even though Google states in the Android disclaimer that doing so is unlawful).

HTC does not have a github. They never have and likely never will. The only source that manufacturers are required to give is kernel source, since that is licensed under the GPL (which requires all changes to source to be published). Most of Android is licensed under the more lenient Apache license, which means manufacturers may give out source, but are not required to (read: don't). HTC is not under any obligation to release any source outside kernel and doing so would give their competitors an advantage and facilitate projects like these, which HTC doesn't want as they get nothing for it.

    Update for those wondering:
    The one x version boots with one v apps, but it is too unstable for public consumption at this point. Using the one v framework gave us errors, but we feel we can fix it. I thought about it today and think that merging the egl classes in framework will allow us to boot the rom successfully. The one v apps are smoother and the right res, which is an improvement. It appears based on the logcats (logs of booting, which say which services successfully run and start and which have errors essentially) that sd will work. Combined with one v framework, everything should be a lot more stable hopefully.
