Hey guys, its an humble request. Can any1 port the stock roms of Xperia Z, Htc One or Galaxy S4? I know its tough, but any person with dev skills can do it ! I have no knowledge about porting roms. As these devices are on 4.2.2, it wont be that tough. So please try and let us know what you think. We will be more than grateful if sm1 does it.

Do you realize how large the s4's touchwiz even is? Sounds like a horrible idea.

It might be big, but galaxy nexus has it. So its not impossible. And we can always try out new things

I don't think you realize what kind of work porting these roms means. These are huge projects, and not every developer that works with aosp is capable to do that. These roms have different frameworks...to name one of the major difficulties (This is not the same what making a nice theme) Anyway, Sense project has already been started. It doesn't boot yet unfortunately. And as far as I remember Galaxy Nexus doesn't have fully working ports.

Possible yes, probably not. It's not just that Android versions have to be same, the hardware has to be similar too. Even then it would need months of work, experimenting, etc. Optimus g is almost the replica of the nexus 4 , even then porting LG ui is not complete. That's how hard it is.

Exactly and here we're talking about three different and sometimes by far more complex ports (not to mention different screen resolutions). Possible in theory? yes! I do like the idea very much. However probability to build a daily driver is rather very low. Every single project would take simply too long.
writing [request] in the thread title doesn't mean it's gonna happen
Yup i agree, its a long way to get these roms working! But its not impossible and we have a pretty awesome devs lineup and an awesome community as well

It seems slg1119 from the at&t optimus g thread managed to port htc sense 5.0 and make it boot but, besides touch everything else doesn't work. It's a start and maybe someone could port that for the nexus 4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353971
there are a lot of proprietary stuff in those roms. it's not gonna happen. use icon packs, 3rd party lockscreen apps etc.. to replicate a sense or touchwiz feel, but you'll never get those air gesture, smart stay and what else features.
i respect that some people like those OEM skins, but i know i would never flash a sense or touchwiz rom even if there were totally bug free ports available for my nexus. Since the galaxy nexus days, it's clean vanilla for me all the way.
A sense 5 port would be cool
if we can get s4 camera feature only is that possible or htc's
It would be cooler to be able to port the actual apps to the nexus. Like porting the framework to work on the nexus 4 ROMs. I personally do not need all that bloatware from Samsung/Sony or HTC.

New! Follow my updates on the project on Twitter with the #NexusTW hashtag.
Update: extremely close to an early build now, minor kernel updates needed then I should be able to successfully boot into the ROM. Last time I tried it did boot, but got stuck.
Just setting it up ready for my TW port and anyone else who is interested in helping me port the leaked 2.3.3 firmware for our Nexus S. Started to separate the previous Sense and TW threads upon JD's advice.
In the next few days I'm going to poke around the firmware and see what I can get working. Hopefully bits and pieces like codecs and FM radio can be then used in other custom ROMs (like my ROM, infin1y).

With Sense, TW4, CM7, the choice will be REALLY hard.
I hope we can get a multiboot on start of the device
A multiboot would indeed be very useful

That would be nice might be a bit hacky though, lower FPS or something to compensate for the lack of high speed chip or whatever that's missing.
I'd definitely try to keep as many file systems the same as what's currently on the Nexus S. Obviously sometimes this might not work at the start but I will aim that way.
As far as I can tell at the moment, it wouldn't be too hard to get it to work on the 9023 if it doesn't already. Probably a few different drivers needed but other than that it should be fine.

I would expect it to be harder to change the subsystem than to make it work on ext 4. I don't know any vibrant rom that runs on rfs anymore.

tbh mate, dont have any high hopes for this kind of port,
HTC phones tend to be very similar (nexus1 is basically a desire) so when a new version of sense comes along, its not that hard to port it to other devices.
Porting sense to a totally different device, from a different manufacturer, with different processor, just makes it too tricky. You'll notice that the Galaxy s, (which is way way more popular than our phone) doesnt have a sense port either (after just double checking this, turns out they do have one from the 2nd of june and its very buggy alot of things dont work)
So yh basically dont get your hopes up about a sense port, with devices you tend to get a modified version of your own manufactures rom, if your lucky a CM7 support, and possibly a miui rom. If the device is very popular then you might get the odd asop rom, but for example you wont get a port of the SE arc rom on our phones or anything like that.
UPDATE ON MAY 29, 2012: I'm sorry guys.
I won't be releasing my project. I'm actually stopping the effort to port the rom. I can't do it, it just is way too complicated to complete.
This means, until I decide to work on something new or find something worth porting, I am not developing for the D3 or Droid Bionic anymore.
I won't be picking up Motoblur + Android 4.0.4 either, so eliminate that question as well.
I hope you guys won't get mad.

I'm all for options, but Sense just isn't my cup of tea. Not to mention it would be Gingerbread based (I don't believe any HTC device currently has ICS), and many people (myself included) would see it as a step back.

What exactly has you hung up, as far as ICS is concerned (just a question)? Everything works, with the exception of face unlock, and some spotty bluetooth issues. Granted, I'm not overly familiar with the GSM builds and their respective bugs, but most people really seem to be enjoying the 4.0 builds...

The HTC One X has it Actually, I think all of the new HTC One series phones have it.
it's will be great if it contains a RTL & BIDI languages as well.....
I'm definitely interested. I prefer having full functionality for my phone, so the ICS ROMs are out for me for now, and I prefer the GB ROMs to be unthemed. It seems that all of the themed ROMs have something that I think looks mediocre (bad fonts that make it difficult to tell normal from bold, or that flow badly; on screen button elements that do not work right; mediocre battery indicators on the status bar; unattractive notification pull-downs; etc.)

i really hope its a good, multi-lang, gb 2.3.7 rom liek cm7.2 without any bloat like sense.
maybe even the hw-codecs and such are working?
btw. if you need a gsm guy for testing, msg me.
Here's an update:
This rom is a pain in the ass. It really is. So the chances of me completing this, with school and other things have gone down to about 20% from 70%.
But here are some details:
Gingerbread 2.3.6
Later Software from another device (I'm not naming it)
No GSM compatibility
Sorry GSM users, there isn't a way GSM will work on the rom until the device I'm porting this from is updated later this year.

Are you using the Bell or Chinese ROM? I worked on the Bell 2.3.6 port, and it worked, but my modding/theme-ing skills are weak, so it didn't move much past stock appearance with some build.prop tweaks.

lol nice
but I'm wondering why you'd go AOSP on this... the allure of this phone is the Zoe camera, the sense 5.0, and then software features... otherwise it's just a nice phone with a good design
I love AOSP and all, but stock experience is something I'd rather have on a phone with crappy UI (like the RAZR HD).
I love sense tbh, and ideally I'd like a de-sensed Rom, so I can keep the camera and such, but I think aosp looks soo much nicer, it's soo clean and smooth, and you can also get the newest features without having to wait months for HTC

Technically, but only if we get S-OFF so that the kernel doesn't have to be locked to whatever version of ROM that HTC has released.

Not for me. The allure of this device is it's hardware (CPU/GPU, metal unibody design, etc). I could care less about the camera since I rarely take pictures. And you can get cutting edge software enhancements that the OEMs can't/won't supply you with CM10.1.
If they come out with a VZW version, that's the first thing I'm going to do, is try and get CM10.1 on it (maybe at CM11 by this time).
After owning my Note 4 for a few days, I already miss stock Android found on Nexus devices. I'm really thinking about returning this and getting a Nexus 6 just for that reason.
Are there any good *fully working* (i.e. EVERY FEATURE WORKS) stock Android roms available for the Note 4? I'm not even talking Cyanogen here as even that is a bit too modded for my taste. I just like the simplicity of stock Nexus roms.

Probably not going to be made for this device since AOSP styles (like Nexus 5 and below) are from 4.x firmwares.
Going forward not backward. Cyanogen is the closest you'll get.
