How to Port Apps from Higher Android Versions to Lower Android Versions? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to port an app from a higher Android version to Galaxy Y. e.g.-Port the JB 4.2 Keyboard or The 4.2 Play Music app..But, how can I do it? I mean, is there any tutorial available or at-least something which would enable me get going? I've seen Devs porting such apps, but I want to know how do they do it..
Thanks

Even im looking for how to do this.

Touchwiz Lancher

Has anybody got this to see if it could work for their phone. I tried it on my OV, but it wouldn't load it. I think it's by far the best launcher out there! The only problem is on the post it says:

[Q] Why is the Xperia S Cosmic Flow LWP only..

Why is the Xperia S Cosmic Flow live wallpaper only smooth on samsung roms? I've tried it with AOKP and CM9 but the wallpaper is always extremely laggy. Is it a driver issuee? And does anyone know if it'll be fixed?
It's because Samsung roms have the correct gpu drivers for full rendering. Aosp roms have different drivers that might not work as well with some applications.

It can be done, but we dont, and never will have enough devs to take on the task.
I had an x8 and the idea was floating around there for a while. In the end even the top devs settled for adding sense like features to CM based Roms.
If you take a look at x8 section you will see how many devs there is and was and how busy it still is 3 years on with cracked bl, oc, CM, ICS and even JB betas, but no sense port as of yet.
So as I said its possible, but yet impossible giving the support our device has here at XDA.

The thing is, G1 at least had a half-supported chipet. Sense can't work on U8500 devices, and it won't be able to until HTC makes a U8500 device.
Its a port out now for xperia11 devices... but even the motorola defy had sense roms wich is completly not sense hardware... it is possible but will probably not happen cuz a lot of devs prefer aosp roms. Just as me. What would you rather have? Ics sense 4.0 or jelly bean 4.2 aosp?

I will update later a screen that shows more Sense than that and how to do it
i really like sense ui. i use nova launcher on my U n am satisfied with it, but want the lockscreen of the sense.
can we add a custom lockscreen to xperia u so we get those quick shortcuts, while keeping a different launcher (eg nova)?

Dumb questions:
Do custom ROMs also get the update OTA? If so, what it's like? You just open Play and get a notification like 'sup, we've changed the looks' ?

Looks nice & love the feature removing apps from my apps

[Q] Custom Google ICS or Jellybean ROM for Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro/Win

Hello there,
Can a custom ROM with Google's ICS or Jellybean version be available?
Though there are lot of mods available, though trying each of them didn't give me the complete feeling of Google version of my phone.
I like Touchwiz but the AOSP version is what I love the most.

Its hard to say buddy just wait for cm maybe we can taste it in near future. Hopefully
Sent from my beloved GT I8552
Ok. I found that cm 11 is available for it but it is preety unstable as they said.
Also it is the KitKat version. I am thinking to have the older i.e. jb or ics versions cos of their simplicity in UI.
