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!!

ahhhh now i see it, its GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_P009
so to get ICS i will need to put a rom on it then, correct?

Yup. You need to root it and flash ics rom.

After rooting, there will be no ota for the device.
For jelly bean, I am sure custom rom will be released for it way before its ota reaches your device if it is unrooted. No offence to stock images, but custom made roms are way much better for the xoom. Welcome on board xoomer
And flash eos nightlies rom if you really wanna taste the real ics flavor.

You could just flash the official US ROM (with or without root, to flash it you only need to unlock the bootloader, nothing more than that). Then you will get the official JB-OTA with no problem!

Yes, I have a canadian xoom, I flash US from Moto web site, then I get OTA for further update, at least so far, and since even slightly overclocked GPU are really unsuitable it doesn't change much for me...

flashed a rom from motorola, do you have a link?

The link I provided is step by step procedure to unlock the bootloader and flash a pre-rooted ics rom. Eos nightlies the best.
This is not an official rom from moto. But it is way much better. It is not me saying, it is community voting results.
For me, I will stick with it as I am sure team eos will release jelly beans rom long before moto pushes ota to devices. Your call at the end of the day. If you wish further assistance, that is why we are here on xda.

Give us not more ROMs but ROMs that work.
But I will settle for Miui.
Maybe a built in SD swap or at least a choice for the default storage?

Poll by russian site.
Many 422 roms there?

Kernel Links needed

Could someone post the links to some of the alternate kernels that get mentioned in the Dev section? They are harder to find then hen's teeth! Specifically, Vanquishkitties, arrrghhh's kernel and bytecode's kernel. Any others will also be appreciated. Just be sure they are for the XT907. I accidently flashed an XT926 kernel which allowed my phone to boot just fine but I had no touch screen controls! Seemed like it was hours (but actually only a few minutes) before I could manage to get it into the bootloader and then into recovery. I really don't want to relive that little thrill!

So it's normal for your PC to report you having an XT926 plugged in instead of an XT907 when using this kernel. I thought I was screwed!

I believe the kernel was made for the XT926, but since the XT907 uses the same kernel it would be normal to have it read as an XT926

Its possible, and might one day happen if a bored rom chef decides he wants his droid2 /mp3 player to run Cyenogenmod 11.
