Why would you want that..?! Millions of android users are never going to even see what we've got since yesterday (4.0.4) and you want to go back to gingerbread?
heh I wanted to run 1.0 on my nexus one...
Most likely NO. I cant imagine any developer (unless you want to take a crack at it yourself) that would want to waste their time on trying to make "MS Dos 3.1" run on a Windows 8 device
No. And seriously.... wtf?
Wow...! This is what they call evolution? I can exchange my nexus one for your gnex... Lots of gingerbread rooms!

Faster as in ics needs a certain amount of memory for it to run properly. But I'm guessing cm7 don't need allll the memory available on gn therefore it would run much faster....just like a windows 7 computer having g now like 8gb of ram available and new processors....and if u install windows xp it will run very smooth and super fast..since that system never saw 8gb of ram in the past on a regular desktop....that's what I meant...but yeah it will never happen anyways

It has nothing to do with the ram.
Or maybe even symbian! From the 5110 with the original snake.... ya, THAT would be fast!!!
It won't necessarily run smoother as it wouldn't be optimised for running on the GN. Also gingerbread lacks hardware acceleration so that would make things ever so slightly laggier and not to mention possible bugs.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
There is not (that I am aware of) any device that would run smooth at 720p on Gingerbread unless the OEM added a hardware accelerated UI (for example, the Note).

Just because you may not like an idea doesn't mean that everybody else has to feel the same way. If you're not interested in helping then feel free to ignore the thread, but do NOT reply just to give some smartass answer or harass others.
I think everyone here has been pretty lighthearted with each other so far but this is getting real old real quick.
OP instead of making comments and making fun of your curiosities I will simply explain:
There are no driver binaries for G Nex hardware that work on Gingerbread, and that's the main reason this won't work. Just like you couldn't really build Froyo for the Nexus S. The hardware drivers are typically coded to work with specific versions of Android.

agree!bought nexus for the absence of proprietary-eat-ram-UI.hate all the stuff involved on the classic ui out there,likes touchwiz,sense,motoblur etc etc.
i don't know why lost hours and hours of development to try to port a thing(proprietary UI)that is the major reason why many users choose to buy a ggogle experience phone.i don't want to be rude,tastes are tastes,but i personally dislike all the uis out there.

I used HTC phones for over 2 years (before GNEX), and i can say im sick of sense/touchwiz and rest manufacturer ui..

The reason I have a Nexus is that I want to run the latest version of Android. So, nothing.
I'd like to be able to try out windows phone, buy prob not as a daily driver. What I would like would be some sort of Ubuntu implementation where it ran both Ubuntu and android depending on whether it was docked or not.
I would want to stick to Android, but run it on Nokia hardware. No one comes close to their quality, albeit diminished as of late.

There are several apps on the play store that add Ubuntu or Debian to the gnex. My favorite one was Debian Kit, which let you put either Debian or Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android. I'm not sure if it works with Jellybean, though. Really nice to have mc, vim or joe, GCC, package management, X, etc available.
Well... in smartphones we don't have many choice... So I would say windows 8, no windows phone I mean PC windows..

NO offense but IMO, Holo is the prettiest launcher so far. Nothing can replace Holo on a GNex.
But looking at the progresses, sense seems to be the most easiest (or most worked on) so far cuz months ago i saw TW ports and Sense ports but nowadays i only see Sense ports.

Well I never experienced CM7 first hand so I can't really tell , I came to that conclusion since HW acceleration and performance boost was one of the most touted feature back then when ICS Iaunched I figure it was noticeably faster than GB.

Have you had the chance to see a G1 running Cupcake lately? That thing blasts away my Nexus in terms of speed opening the app drawer and the apps it has. BUT. Do remember: the older the OS, the less things it has to carry. You can't compare two different OS versions on two different phones. You can only compare the same OS version on two phones or two OS versions on the same phone.

There is people with Galaxy Nexus who doesn't like ICS or newer Android version...
I don't like really much Gingerbread but it would be nice if there would be GB for Nexus because then battery life may be better but speed won't be much better and then there is less question threads about older Android versions...

You're talking out of assumptions here. Hell, what if the ported GN **** for GB makes it worse ?
I'm still waiting for a good report on how ICS saves battery vs. the look & feel of overall OS fluidity in JB. And now GB ? Give me break.
Seems that slow news days and lack of new stuff to flash is a killer combo for dumb assumptions without technical explanations or research of work to be invested to get mythical gains.

CM 7.2 (GingerBread acctually) is Windows XP of Android. Its stable and it still takes 50% of Android devices. It would be cool to see how it works on newer devices but its hard to backport it to newer devices so it would be just waste of time

Okay so I had a Dinc2 before this and my dad just got the DNA... I really miss Sense haha
To get to the point: I am nowhere near a developer but I think I could port Sense to the Gnex if I had some help. If anyone is interested in trying to do this let me know!
I will probably try to get Sense from either the DNA or the X, the X has the same screen resolution so it may be easier... either way lets see what happens! I've already tried twice and it failed. Like i said... I'm no dev
I have the vzw Gnex so i'd start with a toro build and go from there if we can get it working properly!
You have way more important things to worry about than screen resolution...
People with more experience have tried and failed. Don't waste your time, but try if you really dare. Like the other guy said, the screen resolution isn't the only problem. It's probably the least most important issue.

A sense port would be fun to play around with, but it was attempted about a year ago, and ended up being abandoned. There is do much that is closed source in sense that it would be an uphill battle to get it working. It would basically take an htc sense developer to make this work... So who knows someone on the htc dev team?
