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!!

[Q] What is the most stable ICS-based ROM for Defy

I have a Defy with green lens and I have the latest WIUI V4 installed. It works good for me because the camera and video recorder are working but there's no radio, the gps can't find my location and the battery gets drained too fast when using wi-fi (as compared to MIUI Pikachu or WIUI Hybrid). So which ICS-based ROM works best for you? Thanks.

Epsylon3 CM9. Only panorama doesn't work...

seconded - epsylon
I'm running 120617 and it's more stable than the various cm7s I used before

+1 for Epsylon3's CM9 ROM.

Ditto

Which version? The latest?

The latest has reboots use the second to last one. I find fuzz builds better tho. The latest fuzz build is stable enough, as in no reboots.

+1 to 0617 build of Epsylon3's CM9

Sent from my MB525 using XDA

is this still the most stable ICS ? I have suddenly started having problems with my wifi (despite havng this build for several months now).
Could upgrade to CM10 but not that keen due to the hassle of reloading apps, losing settings etc.
Cheers

Cyanogen 9 and 10

Is Motorola defy and defy+ officially supported by cyanogen for new cm9 RC builts? Edit: can we expect new cm10 unofficial builts??

And if we get ics officially from cyanogen...cm10 will be available for us..i just read that devices with official cm9 support will have cm10 as well. [Official cyanogen announcement ]
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

ibthink its still questionable that we will get official cm support, but id say that well definitely get jb (cm10) builds by eppy and quarx, since they managed to get cm9 working with full hwa, and afaik jb is not that different driver/sw wise. only uncertain thing is project butter, and that depends on whether its possible to port it via kernel modules.

Which rom should I use

Well I have a r800x unlocked BL nd was wondering what exactly is the best rom/kernel combination for my play
I'm not big on the gaming functionality but do want camera and wifi Bluetooth stuff like that and I was also wanting a JB rom bad but ICS will do if the JB is too unstable
So yea XDA tell me what your choices are
Sent from my GBTweaked v7.1 r800x using Tapatalk 2

To be honest my first choice would be to tell you to check out miui-australia(its got its own kernel & its ics)... But only because its got loads of space...very stable, but aokp is good also (With wedgess lupus cm9 based kernel)...thats just me tho... As for jb I personally haven't tested any... But here good things about cj's slimbean port...
Sent from my R800x

Check out Slimbean with Turbo kernel.
If you want something a little more stable, try regular CM9 or MIUI Australia.

I had to revert to FXP CM9 with the Adreno ICS driver, the driver didn't work with SlimBean for me. Still, stock GB 2.3.4 is fastest for gaming.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I would suggest the P.A.C.man ROM. It's got bugs, but I never thought my play would be this smooth. With 4.1.2, my phone is relevant again!

I never really liked miui as I flashed it to my brothers Droid x and it was to ummm.....IOS'ee for me love the look of aosp the best

I'm using FXP 151 with latest lupus v9 kernel. This latest kernel update was awesome.
Pretty smooth and no problems at all untill now.
I would like to try a Jelly Bean based rom, tough. Haven't decided witch one...

This thread was obviously missed when it was started but best ROM threads shouldn't be posted as there is no such thing as "best ROM", it's all down to what suits you best so try them yourself and find what's best for you.
