Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Since the source code is available now, can it be done?
I would love to have ics browser running on my Gingerbread... until I can have ICS on my device...

defenetly +1
I am also looking for the launcher, the keyboard, the Live wallpaper and the youtube app.

any of those viable?

Well many parts of Browser are in the Framework of android, you have to completery port the framework, the new webkit, the GL for HW Accelleration...
In total its simpler to port ICS...

What's the Best Screenshots App?

I've been using Shootme, but I'm Wondering if there's Another App that Everyone like Better?
I'm looking for a App that you Don't have to Shake to take a picture...
ShootMe was my main Screenshot application until I updated to the Droid X2 and It is not compatible anymore. I use AndroSS and I like it much better than ShootMe. It has the option to shake for a Screenshot and a timed shot. Check it out in the Android Market, It's free too.
Im using Screenshot ER.
It worked perfectly in all devices I tested.

Miui is a good screen shooter
Their all basically the same thing, just search screenshot on the market. Any one of those apps will work

For now (atleast), the CM7 stock kernel is the best.

My CM7 Build - Devs chime in

Been working on a build of CM7 - got my laptop back up and running and thought I'd tackle this. Last night I started the build and woke up this morning to this:
make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/samsung/c1-common/proprietary/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd', needed by `out/target/product/galaxys2att/system/bin/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd'. Stop.
Any idea how to get passed this? From the looks of it, I was close to the end of the build process
Thanks I appreciate any help...
Sort of got this resolved. Codeworkx simply stated its an issue of missing proprietary files. Ill have to copy them over which I'm not sure why they weren't in the first place...

Thread moved to General since there is no Dev work being made here... yet. If you happen to fix your issue and want to make a rom, then start a new thread in the Dev section with a link pointing to the rom.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Debugging a compiler error isn't development? Perhaps the so called development forums are becoming too focused on showing off wares, with little or no attention being paid to actually developing?
At first he was asking a question about decompiling. Since he answered his own questions, I threw it in General. Since he is not offering a rom/kernel/tool then this does not belong in the Dev section.
Thanks I guess.

Sounds like a developer question to me... perhaps the development forum should be renamed to Roms or something

Exactly, it is a question so it would belong in the Q/A sections not the development section. This stuff isn't new, read the forum rules. Quite simple to understand if you ask me.
The way I see it, its just red's opinion. He sees it fit in here then so be it, his opinion and we just have to live with it. Regardless its still all search able information.

Actually, it is not his opinion, it is xda rules. The only posts in the development boards, are posts discussing actual development. If the post is a question, it has no business being on the development board. Examples of acceptable dev topics:
Release of a new/updated rom
Release of a new/updated kernel
Release of a new/updated hardware specific patch
Release of a new/updated hardware specific app
*Technical * discussion of ongoing hardware /software development (rooting, bootloader, etc). Asking when root wil be available is not technical.
If your title for a post is in the form of a basic question, it does not belong in development, period.
I have to play devils advocate... but with the understanding that I'm doing just that and not really arguing...
I posed a similar question to Red in a PM. If I have a question asking how I can Retro fit Samsung propriatary shared libs into a new program I'm writing, or where I might find headers for those libs, where does that question go? Its certainly technical and development related... it also doesn't seem to fit in the q&a subforum (which doesn't seem to have any dev questions but is more general.)
Yet, its a question, and doesn't belong in the "development" subforum under a strict interpretation of the rules (which seems to say that the dev forum is only used to advertise mods, roms, etc)
Red suggested the q&a subforum. I disagree, but he is a moderator.
Not being sarcastic here, but perhaps we really do need new subforums for posting links to the result of development and allow the development subforums to go back to discussing that and other development. (Or vice versa) long ago when I first joined xda, discussing development was encouraged (and the primary purpose of xda-DEVELOPERS.)
Take Care

I understand how you feel and would love it myself but at this point and time with the influx of Soo many non tech minded people that don't know the diff Between a normal question and a development related question that all questions are pointed to the Q&A.

Favourites in XDA app for Android?

I've been using the XDA app for a couple of days and Im liking it, but getting to the SGS II forum is a bit tedious.
Thought I would set it as a favourite for was navigation but can't figure out how to set a forum as favourite from within the app.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Does this look absolutely anything like a request, general or questions section to you?
Think about it for 1 second, what would this section look like if this kind of topic was allowed, answer is it would be a complete mess and you would have to trail through a sea of crap to get to the roms/kernels etc.
This sections is for developments, not help requests, app requests, or anything else completely unrelated to development, Its for ROMS/KERNELS/MODS/REF etc only.
If you want to post this type of topic do it in the appropriate section(s). Its really irritating when people who have subscribed to this forum get stupid topics like this emailed to them.
Please turn brain on an read the forum titles.
Well im sorry and i apologize if turned my brain off k?

Well thats just been sexist.
Doesn't make a difference what your sex is, you should still have common sense enough to put questions in questions forum, general discussion in general etc. Its obvious if you take a few seconds to look that the Dev section re for releases/mods and reference etc.
Tbh I blame XDA for this aswell because they could restrict posting rights for dev forums more per post count or usergroup.

It's not actually sexism if it's a principle that should be applied equally to both sexes (though the wording ephraim used wasn't exactly to that effect, but hopefully you get my point). There is a certain sense of irony when you remind someone of the rules in an inflammatory way, and so break the rules yourself.
It was a simple mistake, an accidental posting in a forum that has squillions of subforums. It happens.
Anyway, OP's question has been answered. Bluefa1con's advice sounds fairly easy, especially if you already have a stock zip lying around.

It wasn't an accident. An accident would be if they meant to post in a specific section but didn't realize they was in a different one when clicking post.
Users are just simply choosing to posting in dev section instead of taking seconds to work out that they shouldn't, That isn't an accident, its just pure laziness.
XDA needs some sort of structure in place like increasing the post count restriction, retro applying it to older members who signed up before they started imposing or restricting posting to recognized devs only. Any non recognized devs could put forward a topic which could be moved into dev section.
Allowing basically anybody to post anything in dev sections just pollutes the forum and annoys people who subscribe and get emails about "howz me flash me fone" topics (not referring to this topic, just general).
