As title states, is it possible to port the drivers to GB? I thought I read somewhere on this forum about it (not saying it said it was possible or not) but wasnt able to find it, and yes I used the search function.
i think there's one thread about the adreno library,
but porting it to GB only resulting on slower performance,
so.. ICS only...
Impossible. Simple as that
Why would you need the drivers is the phone not reconizing the GPU?

Because he is refering to newer drivers for ICS which give higher performance (30-50% +).
As far as i read there ARE devices with GB and those drivers (Samsung and Huawei, dont know which ones exactly yet).
So are you sure it's impossible? Maybe it's just a matter of proper kernel integration.

well 1 of them would have to be the UI.
it looks so much better.
another thing would be the launcher, chrome app, the taskswitcher, everything really.
p.s dont say thanks to me click the thanks button instead.
There is also the adreno gpu updated drivers which are supposed to give a huge umph to the performance of our gpu processor.

They probably are still trying to lessen the attention for the PLAY, otherwise they have no valid reason to not include the driver update

Searching around the web I found this ( http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android ) interesting title and got very interested in it, unfortunately didn't find any download link or description on how to install or something similar. Please I'm very interested in this, hope others wish to install something except Android too, cause I'm really tired of stock laggy rom.
Ubuntu had stated that ubuntu for android is only available to participating OEM. So u get the feature out of the box.. Something similar to Motorola webtop os.. I am also interested in it but I guess u have to wait until the end of the year for it. Currently the are ways to install ubuntu as a virtual machine. But it look difficult to install. And I doubt think arc hardware can Handel it

Thanks for quick reply guys, yea I saw that it need dual-core, but I think Arc's hardware will run Ubuntu, if my old crappy laptop can which is 1.2Ghz and 256Mb ram, I think my Arc will do too.

But,
what we are looking out is for an OS , Ubuntu a New Experience.....
Thanks for your post .... thats really helpful , but is there a way to port Ubuntu Touch!?
This is just a general question that has been bugging me recently, i hope that it is ok to ask it here.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Qualcomm didn't feel like releasing drivers for 4.2 for the cpu that powers our Xperia S. So i am wondering if perhaps the drivers from 4.1 would work? Or Android doesn't work like that?
No, the drivers would be different I believe. They might release the new driver later like they did for the Xperia X8 ICS on my experience when a petition was signed.

Do you think Android KitKat would be compatible with Wildfire? It is designed for lower end devices so would it be possible for a port of that new OS?

Probably not. while it may technically be possible to achieve it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to do it successfully, or even partially.
Just my 2 pence.

I agree that it could be a very good opportunity, im just saying dont get your hopes up i suppose :/ we just about got got 4.1.2 from this dev here . alot of the "main players" have moved on from this device and i dont think we would have the skill to manage this. to start off with we would need a 3.4 kernel i believe, and i dont think they re-introduced support for non gpu devices in 4.3 kitkat so we would need to implement all the hacks that were required to get ics running and port them over to kitkat.
its a nice idea, but to be honest i think the amount of hours it would need to make it function may not actually work towards a stable daily driver
i`m amazed the wildfire got this far to be honest, and im happy i was here for it

Scratch is basically start from the beginning, and it's always better to try making a KitKat ROM for Wildfire, you never know what the outcome could be right?

Both are real words, just used in different context :thumbup: but yeah it would be defiantly a build from scratch job (using our own source code we would have to make specific to the wildfire)

We are waiting for Android KitKat to be released, we need a device that has a QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels
AFAIK it would run without a 3.4 or even a 3.8 kernel. But the current 2.6 kernel would slow it down. Only very experienced devs can make properly working kernels. And we have almost no 'real' "i build from source" dev left in this forum. (not offensive, i appreciate the work of any dev/porter/whatever here )
4.1 is also running fine with that old arco - kernel but its really slow maybe because of the hardware maybe because of the kernel. I think its a mix of both components.
I tried with @kylon to get a functioning overclock kernel for the htc wildfire bee, (cdma device) and we couldn't manage to get it stable, and that's the buzz's sister phone. It shares almost all the same hardware :/ so I don't think it will be an easy task.

Just my 2p worth but doesn't kitkat and the kernel associated with it look for integrated GPU's which the wildfire simply doesn't have, so if someone was to create a kernel for kitkat you would have to emulate a GPU on the CPU which would slow down the phone to a unusable piece of crap.
Good idea but i doubt it's viable.

Agreed. Ics barely ran without the kernel hacks to make it run. Though it is said that kitkat should be less resource hungry.

While it's possible I have no idea what hacks were done to make it work. We needed kernel hacks for gingerbread.... The only one that would definitely know would be Arco, as he was the kernel developer for the buzz branch of cyanogenmod. I think most of the work on cm7 and 9 were arcos work, with some help from the guys here of course

we still didnt reach full speed after 4.0 android coz of using 3.0 kenel,3.4 kernel is reqvested to get full speed and all inprovments.there is omapzoom project with still suport omap chips,its last kernel version is 3.8.
