[REQUEST] Galaxy Nexus Cupcake/Doughnut/Eclair ROM

Hey I know this should be in Development Forum but I'm not allowed to post there yet, was wondering if it would be possible for a Dev to make a ROM to run Cupcake/Doughnut/Eclair on the GNexus?
Obviously not for a daily driver but for simple curiosity to its possibility and its speed. I imagine that on such a powerful device such a simple OS would run blazingly fast.
Feel free to repost this in the right forum, actually please do.

Q: Why the hell would you want to do that ? :| You want fast ? Try a 4.0.3 ROM and that's it. End of story.

I wouldn't use it daily, I just never got to use the old android versions and I think it would be a cool gimmick. If the G1 can run ICS why can't the Nexus run Cupcake?
I'm currently running the AOKP (Kang Project), I'd say its the best ICS ROM I've come across

Why would you ever want to do this? it would be equivalent to taking your PC and putting windows 95 on it.....Why would you. 4.0.3 ICS works fine, it doesn't slow the phone down any, downgrading to an older OS isn't going to show you some amazing massive speed increase.

While it may be possible, I think you can assume from the tenor of the responses so far that it isn't too likely that you'll find a lot of people interested in investing the time to make it happen.

Such a cool gimmick sounds like such a cool hobby, eh? I guess while we are making dumb requests, and nobody can top yours, can somebody put ps/2 or s40 on a blackberry with purple stickers for me? Thank you. I love you long time.

Only problem I can imagine is that the galaxy nexus doesn't have any buttons, sooooo good luck operating it.

This may be the only constructive reply here, thank you. I just wondered if it would be possible or if anyone else was curious enough to try it. Never mine, I'm holding out for a sense ROM, again not a daily driver just a time to time use thing

as ittekaimus said, you'd be unable to run those.
all those versions of android required physical buttons, so you won't have home, back, or menu unless you added softkeys, would would basically require a rewrite of the original code. and no one is going to do it.

Just to correct the OP this should NOT be in the development section. Now you know why you can't post there yet.
Btw if you bought a Samsung looking for a HTC rom... good luck. Most likely won't happen

Lol I actually like Sense and I hoped for a Sense rom in the future. I came from an HTC Thunderbolt so I loved Sense 3.5 but I love ICS even more lol when I had a Nexus One there were a few Sense roms. Hopefully there might be one in the future

well if I recall this has been asked a few times now...I just dont understand the mentality of buying a gnex to take 5 steps back. You dont go and trade your car in for a vehicle thats 10yrs older do you?

Damn it feels good to own a Nexus

I'm really happy with my purchase overall. Since I've purchased this phone. I had a great understanding and love 4 a device that is so easy to root, and the developers who make it so awesome!!!
Idk? What's your thoughts on this?
What I'm looking for are Galaxy Nexus victory stories not troll bashing. So please feel free to express some of your victories you had with your Galaxy Nexus.

With all seriousness I love my nexus. I switched from the amaze just because of everyone saying this is a better experience and they are right. I thought I would miss sense but I am finding the advantages of 4.0 and the Samsung hardware to over shadow my love for sense. But yeah... overall I am very happy with my purchase!

Back to Android

Hello guys so i want to start by saying i'm coming back to android after a whole year=]. So basically i was the biggest android fan boy, i had about every android phone: G1, G2, Nexus One, Mytouch 4g, Galaxy nexus and the list goes on. I really got bored of android for some reason nothing was really changing so i jumped on the Iphone bandwagon. I love my iphone (currently the 4s) but im just bored of it i really miss android and want to go back. Since its been so long ive been disconnected from the android world so i really dont know about the new stuff or what phone i want to get. Right now i have sprint and im not due for an upgrade any time soon. I would just like for you guys to give me some suggestions on what phone i should get, right now im thinking the galaxy nexus because its the last android phone i had and i really really loved it. thanks in advance.

It's pretty strange to call a guy a dumb ass for using an iPhone. Last time I checked they make calls, texts, and apps run. Not sure what the problem is. My GNex is great, but i have a 4S as well. There are many apps first and only for iOS, and if I am going to a party or club its the best for photography (compared to my GNex). I would say Nexus 4 given your current choices. Nexus is always the way to go, and it has great specs.

HOX if it is in good condition is top notch phone far far better than iphone (iphone 5 included).....

LOL, who in their right mind would trade this for an iPhone 4?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Hox have better and bigger screen+much higher performance(browsing/gaming)+good sound quality over headphones+okish battery life... so compared to iphone 4, no doubt better phone. It's better phone even vs iphone 4s/5.

I've had Fruitphone 3G.. in all honesty Iphone is a good device but if you like freedom/customization/fun to use/nonboring UI kick iphone device out!! :silly::silly::laugh::laugh::good:

i paid to upgrade from an iPhone 4 to a HOX
very happy with the choice too

trade my little padawan..have patience with the One X and once you customize it you will love it..let the force be with you

Stupid thread dude. Specification alone answers your question. Coming to xda where android pretty much rules the land answers your question. A stupid website with iPhone users showing there homescreens with apps in different places answers this question.
In short though. My answer is take the x lol and laugh at the chap swapping whilst doing it

My best guess is that the Nexus 5 will probably have some version of key lime, but you'll have to wait toward year end to get it. I don't see the S4 having it given its anticipated spring arrival. Spec wise - I think toss up, unless the S4 truly does rock the Exynos 5 Octa CPU with Mali-T658 (8-Core) GPU. That's a combo very hard to beat! Hang on to your hat.......and your wallet!

The best Phone out right now is the GS3 for Sprint. My contract is over around June so I will be grabbing either the Galaxy S IV or Sprint's Variant of the HTC M7. Im not a fan of stock android phones, (If i wanted stock I would flash any AOSP Rom) so the Nexus 5 or Motorola X aren't in my list .
