Latest ICS for Defy not working on Bravo

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20056083#post20056083
It's sad I think it's because it runs on 2.3.4+ kernel version. The older one was 2.2. What can we do?

Why can't we change our kernel

Motorola locked it. We can't unlock it without there signiture.

What we need is that developer who is working with it now, to create a rom without the new kernel, I think walter79 is working them, I'll asking him.

If I'm not mistaken the green lense defy still has to use the froyo kernel

walter79 told that we need to compile ICS with froyo kernel, but how can we do that?
He sent this: https://github.com/Quarx2k
in the ics thread there is something how to do it!!

Compiling ics is ridicolous amount of ram needed. 20gigs I think... bravomotorola... check your pm

Since we really have no true devs we are going to have to look for one with knowledge of code. We may have to donate some money to someone to get them a bravo unless there's someone with an extra that is willing to let someone use it. That's our true problem is that the defy, Atrix, galaxy s, and other phones have support from cm and alot of experienced devs that have been developing since the magic and hero days.

Hey there.
Are you gonna help us with something about ICS?
Well I think we need first a fully working 2.3, then we can go to the next step.
Thanks everything

Bravomoti will post his results.. gave him some tips

Yes, the results from the excellent tip: Well first I moved over the framework and apps like rdanner said, and it worked! Then I moved over the ect folder for working gps and better working wifi and such, and it also worked and booted! It runs pretty well, but the only problem is 3D (egl libs) don't work with the 2.2 kernel (this is a guess kind of, I'm guessing it needs the 2.3 kernel). Any time I move over newer libs from the newer build I get stuck at the moto screen. I still suggest people to try it out though, I don't have the signal working yet I don't think unless it already works...maybe try playing with the baseband switcher. The build is pretty smooth and wifi and orientation both work good...
Try it here
ICS gapps here
After install wipe data/factory reset and cache and dalvic cache maybe... I would boot it up first and do gapps after it's booted. Have fun, and thanks again rdanner!

You cannot usually mix gb libs with froyo libs..

So there is no way to get the gingerbread kernel on the Bravo?

The kernel... probably not... you need a factory gb kernel source Wich the bravo does not have...

Is that why you get that bootloader error when trying to flash it?
EDIT:
LOL!! I quote Epsylon's thread under to do list:
2.2 kernels :
Fix Google maps, no errors but no layer drawed (working only with defy+ kernel and gl libs)
Fix 3D (galery, opengl etc...) working with only defy+ kernel and gl libs

Looks like he might get 3D working for our 2.2 kernels!!

It's work with 7 and 6 too.
The unodex apps are slowlier because it have to extract the dex files to dalvik-cache, but if you modify anything in the framework in odex version, the apps may stop. So who change theme many times, they have to use unodex version.
I hope you understand it, It's hard for me, in english.

Ok,let's try and will report a bug

Wait so you tried porting the kernel or just tried using it on your roms...? I don't get what you're trying to do. From what I understand you are trying to port their kernel through boot.img? I dont think you can do that as idk if there's a way to decompile a zImage.

And what did Awesome already port...? The desire z kernel...? As far as I know the source has yet to be released for it (unless awesome did some convincing) and as I stated before; idk if kernels can be ported like that... I thought the adjustments made to them had to be from source... Hence, why devs like nexx, elginsk8r, and others who worked (are working) on a 3.0 kernel are doing so from source.

It's impossible to decompile zimage

CustoNexus ROM testbuilds thread

Hi there,
A friend of mine asked me to compile my custom rom from source CustoNexus for his Arc, he isn't rooted yet, so he's quite careful with it haha.
Since i've built it anyways, I was thinking about releasing it in the forums, but I don't have an Arc to test on.
Before i release this into the wild development section, i'd like to ask to test you guys if you want to test THIS ROM on your arc/arc S and tell me how its like.
CustoNexus is a ROM based on CM&PA sources with our own custom overlay such as custom apps, ringtones, a kernel built with linaro, our own setup wizard and many more to come.
I built it with the 'anzu' device tree from FXP.
RESULTS:
Arc: untested yet
Arc S: untested yet
Thanks in advance,
djpbx.
PS. you're flashing this on your own risk, blah blah blah you know the deal with experimental roms.

If anyone wants to try evervolv has ICS branch on their device tree for our device, I've never tried to compile against though. Also I finally found the device tree I *think* deck was using in our ICS builds since they aren't on his github...

Really? On the porting page all it said was make sure you have your devices branch
I also wanted the JB branch for something else I wanna try...if you have a local copy could you push it to your github? I would really appreciate it

Yeah I did, but the closest thing to CM10 I see is the liquidsmooth JB branch on there...or is that it?

Oh yeah forgot about that. I really didn't make much mods to the device tree, I made all my edits to the CM packages themselves. My device tree is probably no different then Decks, we both just used Evervolvs base and made the 2-3 edits necessary to get it to compile CM

I was wrong about Firefox being ICS based, it says your devices must have at the minimum ICS 4.0.4
