I was thinking about making a custom ROM for my LG Phoenix using the CyanogenMod 2.3.4 ROM. However, I was curious if I could import the app runtime packages, the framework, and the JAVA emulators as well as the parsing software so I could run 4.X.X apps on it. Basically the 2.3.4 UI with reverse-backward compatibility (forwards compatibility?) Is this even possible? Would I just have to replace the kernel and some system files? Or can I take Rashed97's 4.1.2 ROM and switch out the UI?

Hello is it possible to use the apk file for the theme chooser on 2.3 and take out the framework files to flash on 2.2 phones? would it be compatible?
No... you can't. T-mobile Theme chooser is compatible with CM7 and some AOSP Rom...
I used to have a CM10 theme that was themed like a windows phone, but I switched from 4.1.2 to 2.3, due to RAM consumption, etc. I don't have a theme chooser on stock 2.3, and CM7 doesn't have working themes, so I was wondering if someone could compile a themed zip for me. And help is appreciated!
just use launcher7 or launcher8. No one really themes here anymore.
Hi everybody, I am completely new in kernel development and I have a 32-bits machine, so I can't compile JB kernels. I tried to port a 4.3 kernel to 4.2.2 (as u probably know, now I am updating MIUI V5 ROM from miui.com with kingzak34 and the more kernels we have the better for everybody) but isn't booting. Could anybody help?
What I did
I installed the proper environment. I installed java, cygwin and dsixda Kitchen.
With dsixda kitchen I unpacked the 4.3 boot.img, opened the ramdisk and init.rc.
I copied export BOOTHCLASS line from the beggining of the file.
I unpacked a 4.2.2 compatible with MIUI kernel, and replaced that export BOOTHCLASS line in 4.3 kernel.
I flashed it in recovery but bootloops. I had to restore backup
What am I missing?
Thank u everybody!!
There is more to it than just copying class paths
A 4.3 kernel will not boot with 4.2 system modules
A 4.2 rom will not boot with 4.3 system modules
For this to work you will need a 4.3 kernel, 4.3 modules and you will need to do a **** load of smali edits (since you can't work with source on miui) to the rom to accommodate the new methods the 4.3 will be expecting to use.
Or back port the 4.3 kernel to be able to use the 4.2 modules. Also a challenge
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
modules and drivers, 4.2.2 wont boot without the right modules and drivers.
Hello Guys!
I have a Galaxy S4 (jflteatt). I want to port certain elements of other roms to a GPe rom for my device (this rom is AOSP).
The elements I wanna port:
CarbonRom Privacy Manager
Cyanogenmod Theme Engine
ParanoidAndroid card recents
ParanoidAndroid Peek
ParanoidAndroid Dynamic System Bars
All the roms are compatible with my device. I want to port these over because of the locked bootloader -- I cant install custom roms with safestrap but i can install a modded GPe one.
Thanks!
EDIT: 1/8/15 7:45PM
I have been unable to find GIT repositories for any of these features. Furthermore, I have been unable to find any good way of porting these features.
im also looking for same.........
Is possibile to find a "stock" and deodex rom based on the lasted relase (5.0.2) without any customization? I like the stock rom, but I don't need all the google apps (Usually I install only the app included in the "Pico Modular Package"). Thanks to all!
