Apps from ICS by default can NOT work on gingerbread. ICS is a completely different build and apps have been modified to fit it. Even if you manage to install any of them by a miracle, when you try to open it will force close.

[Q] Stock/Pure 2.3 Rom

Hello everyone!
(First post yay )
I haven't seen any other threads like this around so it's ok to post right?
Does anyone know of any Stock/Pure/Clean/Fast 2.3 Gingerbread rom for the HTC Desire? I know of Oxygen and suck but they have their own boot animation and have customized stuff. Others I have found are outdated versions. (i.e. 2.3.4) A stock rom with 2.3.7 would be nice. Any advice?
Thanks heaps!

Stock Rom with 2.3.7 Does not exist yet. Latest Stock (if you mean from HTC) is 2.3.5 with Sense 3/3.5.
Currently Oxygen and CyanogenMod 7 (and GingerVillain) has 2.3.7 - Miui is 2.3.5.
However major update in the 2.3.7 - is you can pay with Google wallet (and of course various fixes).

Thank you for your reply! Is there any stock (no sense, mods, ect.. just vanilla) 2.3.5 ROM? Thanks again! Not oxygen because it has some mods. I would like NO mods att all, or alternatively a ROM exactly how it is on the nexus s.
Theres a symantics issue here as stock (as in from factory) has HTC Sense, so what you actually mean is Vanilla.
Try devNull by oxygen.

JellyBean With Sense 4?

Sorry if is a stupid question, but it´s posible to take CM10 base and add all sense 4 stuff to make a Jellybeam Rom with HTC Sense 4?
It´s this so complicated, and we need to wait until HTC release some leak ROM with JB and Sense 4.0 or 4.1 to one of his mid-range terminal with non HD screen?.
Currently using Nik Project X v4.1 that works pretty well, but want to have JB without loosing Sense.
Thanks for all.
I think it's not possibly for this monent, because HTC Sense 4 applications (Camera.apk, and others) are compiled using ICS frameworks.
For example, when I try to install Camera.apk from 4.0.4 ICS to 4.0.3 (via adb install), it gives an error, that shows difference in FW version.
This belongs in Q & A, not development bubba

Jb/ICS

ICS meaning ICE CREAM SANDWICH aka ANDROID v4.0+
JB meaning JELLY BEAN aka ANDROID 4.1+
these are versions of android and also CM9 which is ICS build version of android and CM10 is JB build version of android.
Thanx.. Got it :thumbup:

Gingerbread+Sense4?

Hi,
is it possible to get the Sense working with an older Android version?
I know the big problem with the ICS and Sense 4 is the Kernel 3. So did only Android needs the Kernel, or the Sense too?
If not wouldn't it be possible to get the new Sense working with out problems on Gingerbread?
No, you can't. Sense 4.x needs Android 4.x.
4.1.2?

What are the best devices to port to One V GSM?

For sense or aosp-based?

Desire S works good for both, so does Desire HD. I've tried to port one sense ROM from HTC Incredible S (A Full Sense 4.1 ROM) but it hangs on a screen with "Process system is not responding responding. Would you like to close it?" with touch not working. AOSP roms work good to port from inc. s though. Almost any HTC msm7x30 device will work, and possibly some from other manufacturers. Desire and Nexus One are okay for AOSP-based but you can encounter issues related to legacy things.

Yeah well I want to make a 4.2.2 rom. Better to try and build from source? If not what should I use as a base? cm10?

Shpongle has troubles with porting other 4.2.2 ROMs and using it as a base. Better to build from source.
Does anyone have a stock AOSP from source I can turn into my own ROM? hahahahahah

In order to port a rom u need a SAME version as BASE
sent from my katana
waiting for kernel to test it
It will never work even with kernel.. If you want to port 4.0,you need a 4.0 rom as base. 4.1, 4.1 as base. So for 4.3 we need a 4.3 base which we don't have. You probably used shpongle as base which is 4.2 so it would never work
