What makes the Ville C2 superior to the Sensation? I thought the Sensation has the closest hardware specs, and judging by the number of projects, it seems to have a more vibrant and active developer base. Please elaborate.

I have ported from the VilleC2, Sensation, and Shooteru (GSM EVO 3D).
I would say the Sensation is the easiest to port from because it is literally the Amaze but with less RAM. Second comes the EVO 3D because it's also very similar to the Amaze, it's also ICS and Sense 3.6 based like the Sensation.
The VilleC2 is good as well, but software-wise it's not as similar ad the other ones. Now that we have a 3.4 kernel we'll see how this turns out.

Don't bother fussing over the processor, these phones are pretty similar hardware wise as well, the VilleC2 has the edge here because it was updated by HTC. All of them are dual core.

There is another phone to port from, the Totem (HTC ONE VX). I'll probably port something from here later on.

now that we have 3.4 kernel this doesn't mean start new rom porting, please consider contributing to exsisting project by chevy called black russian once we fix all stuff on that rom, it will be much easier to port rest of the roms from villec2 and sensation.

If you read through the threads you'll see that @SuperAfnan is already well plugged-in.to the project. They have a history of cooperation that long precedes the release of this ROM.

Yea I know he's into it already.. he has done great work, that post wasn't just for him but for all.. instead to individual porting we should all work as a team I meant that's all! oh by the way @josh2020glacier sensation does not have miui v5 rom based on sense!

Are you sure bout that. I'm pretty sure I seen a sense based miui for sensation on Google.

Here a link to miui v4 sense based sensation : http://www.htcsensationroms.com/details/?r=1026

I also seen v5 sense based for it to just don't feel like hunting link down. Not everything is here on xda buddy. Google is your friend people use it befor trying to make me look like a idiot please thankyou.

And for working together on one Rom that's cool don't have problem with that but I want sense miui I want key word just willing to share work.

Don't meant to come off rude.

And here's another link sense based v5 lk sensation

i agree with this..reason we didnt release our own roms...black russian has all the base portings according to kernel..the main reason i released this cuz so everyone can contribute toward getting the fixes done more quickly..once we get a stable build..then everyone can start sense 5 or any porting..just not now or else every rom will be broken and incomplete..

I'll second that. The kernel still needs some tweaks. And Ravike and I were hoping that a fresh set of eyes on this would help get us past some hurdles.

There's a lot of editing that's going to need to be done on a few things.

We used the totem because the mounting worked the best. Once we better at working with the vold files and can manipulate them perfectly with the other roms we might rebase the Rom.

But for now, this is a good start.

    I agree with this, generally if you don't have experience porting ROMS you should be focused on doing your best to debug. Once most of the stuff is fixed and we're on the level of the bugs in Viper/Sense 4.1 we can open up more porting projects because it's silly to port stuff which is broken that nobody can actually use lol.

    I'm probably just going to port one thing and release it, help fix, or do my best to attempt to fix bugs. Once stuff is mostly fixed and usable we'll start porting more stuff. :)
