Well you never know, it isn't even released yet right? If the ui gets some love from the reviewers and public it might. But there isn't really a huge demand for third party android skins, miui and sense being pretty unique exceptions in that they don't suck.

I am a noob to these forums and this seemed the best place to ask considering it is a Q&A forum. Considering the G2 is a stock android device how hard would it be to make a stock gingerbread ROM for it? Are any devs out there working on it? Is teamdouche working on CM v7 based on 2.3? I have been looking around for any inclination of this but have seen none whilst other devices get gingerbread ported over/compiled for them. Just want to know the status (or hopefully an ETA) on a Gingerbread ROM for the G2. If I posted this in the wrong place or this has been posted before my apologies.

I don't know if it's out yet, mang... but I'm sure that once it is, it'll be a hot commodity. The modding community is absolutely amazing and I think they seriously need to be hired by some of the mobile companies out there. Their work is fantastic.
well nobody can make a rom or anything until the source code is released...and that hasnt happend yet. as soon as the nexus s comes out (which is this week) then the source code will be extracted from gingerbread and itll be able to be used. right now we just had a SDK file, and that really isnt used for anything but looks. mainly used for themes and such.
Then why does the EVO have a full working ROM for gingerbread? I believe the DESIRE and the HD2 also have it going.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
There isn't a working gingerbread ROM for the EVO, it's just FroYo with some parts ripped from 2.3. Gingerbread will be released in a couple of days along with the Nexus S, after which the AOSP will be ported to existing devices - but it'll still be a few days, if not weeks until something stable comes out.
I wouldn't hold my breath for it.
My apologies for my ignorance. I thought they were actual 2.3 builds considering the XDA posted list says "devices running gingerbread". So absolutly nothing can happen with gingerbread until a device with gingerbread (nexus S) comes out?

Cyanogen will not port it to the G2until 2.3 is released for the G2.

Not a problem, you were just asking
All we have running Gingerbread right now is the android emulator, from which we can pull apk's and libs, but most of them need tweaking to get them to work on FroYo. Plus I don't know if the market works on Gingerbread.

Is that an actual statement from teamdouche/cyanogen or just from studying release behavior in the past? When you say release you mean T-mo pushes it as an OTA correct, I know someone on here will "release" 2.3 long before T-mo stamps it for approval.

So at the moment there is no actual gingerbread (save for the reveiw models floating around phonedog,mobileburn,etc are unboxing) out just froyo with the modified characteristics of gingerbread? Pardon the question if it seems silly, most of the comment went over my head.

I'll bet we have a ported ROM before New Years, usually a huge release like this gets all the attention of the devs. Especially since with perm-root, s-off and several stable 2.2 ROMs, the devs don't have all that much to work on atm.
Team Villain were working on one, but it became clear that there was going to be no way to make Audio work until AOSP is out so its on hold until then.
and without audio a phone is useless, no ringing, no sound in calls, no music etc etc

Definatley looking forward to it when Villain gets their hands on the source code. I bet T-mo's is going to be ladened with the same bloatware that their 2.2 install on the G2 had.

Well atleast we have the themes for now, that will hold me over for a couple weeks but not to impressed by the nexus s enough to shell out $520 I might just buy vibrant when functional gingerbread port is out allot cheaper and almost same phone well close anyway.

Honestly I would wait if your shelling out any money for anything samsung just placed a MASSIVE order for tegra 2's today which hints at dualcore phones sometime in q1 or Q2 next year hopefully. Wait for the qualcomm dualcore and nvidia dualcore wars to begin.

Anyone know roughly how long it takes google to drop the source in aosp after the sdk is released?

Highly doubt that's true. I came from a CDMA Hero running CM6 RC1 (Froyo) and as most of us know, the lower end devices (such as the Hero), never got an official 2.2, yet there was a fully functional, highly stable CM6 out for it.
Which ran magnificently BTW.
Ah yeah, those seem to be more like proof of concept. Once a retail version of handsets start coming out with Gingerbread, as well as the source code, I imagine we'll start seeing custom ROMs based off it.

Thats all i needed to hear...samsung should'nt getanybody money with their softaware build qaulity and support
Gingerbread doesn't seem to be very promising though, what's with all this hype around it?? The update seems pretty piss poor to be honest. Nothing much.
Does anyone know of a Touchwiz based rom for the Desire?

I have forgotten a lot but if I recall it correctly, there is a mod for AOSP ROM to get the touchwiz.
Better ask the other more about this.
out of interest why would you want touchwiz?
almost everyone with a Galaxy S I know doesn't want it either

It is true. I have played for a couple of minutes with the Galaxy S2 and beside the speed due to better hardware, I didn't impressed at all.
I own a Desire and a SGS2 and I have to admitt that TouchWiz4 impresses me a lot more than Sense.

from what ive seen, touchwizz is more functional and more customizable than sense which only 'looks nice' but i dont think it does look that nice
guess it is simply an individual matter
i never tried touchwiz, from what ive seen on videos it doesnt really make me want a SGS2.
one desire developer, baadnewz, recently bought SGS2 but he sold it very soon after and bought HTC Sensation reason: "cant live without sense"
so like i said, everyone likes what he/she likes
It's not that I don't like sense I just wanna try something different. I sometimes get tired of the look of sense and wanna try Touchwiz out. Is it just me or is sense just getting boring their are just so many devices with it on them its no longer fresh.
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
If you are bored of Sense and wanna try something new, why don't you try MIUI or AOSP?
Note:
It is also true that I tend to prefer Sense over MIUI, Moto-Blur or Touchwiz.
Isn't Blur dead now?
didn't Moto even rename it?
I will also be trying MIUI after my device is able to be rooted.

Does anyone can port Motoblur or touchwiz on Desire HD?
If exists pls tell me the link..

Ugh! Why would you want either one! LOL can we also port over ios as well? Motoblur was okay on my laggy, slow old Backflip, and touchwiz was the first thing I wanted to lose on my Captivate.

But both motoblur n touchwiz were upgraded...I mean motoblur(droid bionic) and touchwiz(galaxy s2). These are not old version one I'm sure that new version is better than old version..

true, have heard touchwiz 4.0 has improved alot, but have also heard that motoblur still sux, even after updates. Had the atrix briefly this spring, and motoblurwas still terrible.

personally, TouchWiz 4 on the Galaxy is absolutely great, greatly improved from previous versions, although I would believe the hardware to be a much more vital factor in allowing better graphics and smoothness of the user interface.
I don't think you can port the full overlay of either because of the frameworks involved. I do know that the touchwiz launcher is available by itself. Just search Google. Ran into this question on galaxy forums lol. They wanted sense instead of touchwiz

well, the new moto UI isnt called motoblur anymore, instead, it's Moto UI, and personally i felt it looked dope especially on the new razr lockscreen, although it cant access to much shortcuts as sense, but it looked dope, LOL!
Is there a stable ios rom for desire hd? I think it would be cool to have
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
iOS cannot be ported directly to this phone as Apple does not release the code for it so it cant be modified easily.
However, the MIUI ROM is quite popular and is made to look like iOS. That is a good option.
...and it would be like putting a Fiat Uno engine in a Ferrari
Next they wil ask for WM6.5, and 6.1... or even 5.
Jesus...
I would be happy to have WP7 ported, though i don't use it not even in my HD2
you could always install a MIUI rom form the dev thread
then download and install this..... (this guy has done some amazing work around transforming the phone into almost an identical replica)

If you want something that looks like the icrap then MIUI will be your best bet. IOS will never see an android port so that as close as you will get
Thanks guys, you are kinda right with the fiat punto lol

Well with the update of from apple, iOS5 is basically almost android like.

Heck they even wanted to implement a silimar home screen and app drawer...
And on that note. Thread closed
Hey guys,
I was looking over at Windows Phone 7 the other day and I noticed that the UI looks really cool! I don't want to buy a windows phone, but I also found out that the HTC HD2 can dual boot windows mobile and android at the same time. THe HD2 also has a snapdragon, so would it possible to port it over to the Inspire/DHD? Im not sure if this is possible, but I wish i could get the UI, cuz it looks really cool! Thanks!
I asked the same question a while back. Basically, WP7 is a closed source UI. Porting it to DHD or any other phone for that matter would be a breach of tos blah blah blah... Just search and you'll find all about it.

Hmm ok thanks for the reply. Would it be possible to make a ROM that looks like it? Not necessarily a port?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
Nope, unless you want your ass sued by windows...
If you know how to pull it off I guess you could make one just for your self but other then that nothing...
