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!!

What was your first rom?

So guys what was your first custom rom that you flashed?
Lets start
Mine was MiniCM6

Mine was a vesion of CM7 Hackdroid by racht. I had no idea what I was doing...I just wanted the CRT animation...

As flash-a-rom-freak, i had a lot of "first roms" but i know who amazing the early versions of rachts froyo were, because everyday was a update or news
Miss old times...

As i remember it was the very early stages of racht's famous "floyo" it was fun back then updated nearly everyday and you was waiting for the updates. Now we have fully working 2.2 and 2.3 and nearly fully working 4.0 and im kinda "not waiting" for more updates because i have everything i want from it. I know i bought a cheap low end phone and i think everything is done what should be done.

[ROM] BehradGH Rom Series | 2.1.1| was my first ROM, Floyo 0.20 was my second ROM

GingerXperia V5 was my first ROM

I'm pretty much new in the Android world. My LG Optimus x2 came with froyo2. 2 and to be honest I was not impressed. But I knew that ics was out there already. So first rom I upgraded was gingerbread and then cm7. But I think my first nightly rom was nova hd based on ics and start flashing almost every day. Til now keep flashing kangs, my LG o2x has been much fun, fast and always up to date.

Support for my new rom

Hi guyz .I saw a few threads talking about creating your own rom. I decided to try this, so far so good. But I need support and help from senior members and developers. I want the Rom to be very stable and good for everyday use.
I know I am just a junior member but please support me and if you are interested please contact me (Xperia Gamer) . Thank you

I actually wanted to make it Ics but games would be laggy so it should be a GB based rom. But I want it to have the ics feel and look.

Well then you should base it on a ROM like GIN2ICS or GIN2JB those always get close to ICS and JB look and feel but are still on GB

Please make a stable Jelly Bean rom dedicated to gaming somehow. Thats what everyone's waiting for

No it isn't, it cannot be rooted via zergrush, psneuter e.t.c.
It can only be rooted via custom kernel but if you add su binaries and switch back to stock kernel you will have root.
