I just want to run android 2.3 in Nexus4, but I don't know how to make it run 2.3 kernel

If you run it, you're going to get a brick. it's not meant for the Nexus 4. You can't run a older OS on a newer device that absolutely has no support for it.

OMG.... Why?

That's a big "no" unless you have some serious software skills and a lot of time on your hands.
I agree, WHY?

Oh! I see... thanks all the same

Go to ebay and if you're lucky you might find the Nexus One. Yeah that's what you need.

I have a Perfect Solution for you.
Just sell out your device and purchase 5 Samsung Galaxy Y (S5360) Devices. You could use GingerBread as well and YOU WILL HAVE 5 PHONES AT A TIME.

if you can write the drivers for the n4 and 2.3, and port 2.3 to the n4, then you can run 2.3 on the n4. drivers for the n4/2.3 dont exist, so you would have to write them yourself.

[REQ] PARANOIDANDROID Port?

This ROM is very unique and practically one of a kind, my question is: is anyone (or even the creator himself) willing to port this over to the crespo and crespo4g? I realize how much of a screen size difference between the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S/4G is, and I know that it won't be completely the same, but isn't it worth a try? The tablet mode mod is cool and all but everything is so small and practically unreliable. Hybrid mode, however, is completely different.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
Can it be done?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
that is freaking awesome! come on devs, please set up to the plate
I'd be willing to donate once this is ported!
I'd agree. This would be pretty epic.
Yes this would be something refreshing.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
I thought this would have been asked already. It definitely looks nice. I am pretty sure the original dev will help with info as long as proper credit is given
love this rom
i am more than willing to donate a cool amount of cash to see this as a working rom .
Is it more different than tablet UI than? Looks the same?

[REQUEST] Paranoid Android for Razr M Dev

Razr M these days has been lacking in terms of development and roms so I would love it if someone had the guts to port PA to the M. I'm sure the community as a whole would appreciate it and we will donate 4sho.

Once I get an M, I could try porting Slimbean or Codename Android.
Paranoid would be pretty sick as well

I've been thinking, I think I might try porting PAC-man ROM instead. It has aokp, cm10, and paranoid features all in one. It might take some work but I think it'll be worth it

Go for it.
Recent PACman builds require ParanoidPrefernces.apk moved to /system/app/ in order for it to show up in the settings. You can grab it from any other PA ROM.

Any should do. The application makes adjustments based on the DPI in your build.prop.

Thank you ANTP121 for even an attempt at porting the rom.

Uploaded my first attempt at a Slimbean port.
Before flashing, make sure you have a good backup and knowledge of returning back to stock.
Flash at your own risk.

Definitely not impossible, but unlikely that someone will put in the work to make the ported rom work 100% on this phone. Lots of hacks have to be done because of the proprietary stuff included with roms like sense and tw.

I've ported Sense to Galaxy S2 a while ago. Nothing is impossible..

There is LG optimus g port in really pre alpha version right now. Looks pretty cool but no internet connection and a lot of things are broken and also the dev who ported the ROM over to nexus 4 bricked his phone so no progress has been made since then.
What does this proof? The fact that port is not impossible but requires a lot of work and a lot of stuff can be broken.

Nexus 4 Galaxy S4

Hi there I have a Nexus 4 , but before I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 , I kinda miss the Touchwizz features and apps
So I wanted to ask if is there any dev who want to try port Touchwiz Framework to Nexus 4!
This way we could have almost a Galaxy S4 with less resolution !
Your asking in vain here.
I've done two Samsung cross ports. Not doing it again. I'm retired

Someone likes Touchwiz? Blimey there is a sentence i never thought i would hear!

First why would you even want TouchWiz? I mean... nothing beats the slick look of a clean nexus
But I've read a topic about this I think, is this what you're looking for? Do note that you need CM for this to work

Then sorry to say but it's just a cheapass who buys a Nexus in the hope to get the same thing as a device nearly double in price...
And then still, TouchWiz, rly :/ Personally I'd go for the theme cause... you can delete a theme
Also there are rumors a Samsung s4 google edition will come. That's the s4 shipped with stock Android .

Not likely possible as if someone wants stock android, they'll flash a custom ROM. (A custom ROM close to stock android).
