Hey gang, first post as you can see.
I did a search to now avail, so I ask you: I am running cyanogenmod 7 stable release and when I try to download an app from the market that is intended for OS, say 2.1+ for example, my device from the dropdown is greyed out. So I cant install it. Is there some reason as to why if we are running 2.3, we can utilize apps from the market for that level of OS?
Thanks guys!

There sure is. As I understand it, there are several ways to develop apps for Android, and some apps can be written to require a higher level of the ARM processor than the Eris uses. In general, this would be for apps like Adobe Flash 10.x, which are processor-intensive and would likely make the Eris run too slowly to handle the performance required for that particular app. There are other apps like the SPB Shell 3D launcher, which benefit either from a faster CPU or a discrete graphics processor.
Ah I see, so is there a workaround to fool the market to allow such downloads, or is that all she wrote?
Either way, love the community here and love how much life has been breathed back into my Eris.
As of now honeycomb is pretty buggy when compared to gingerbread.HTC have done a great job with sense overlayed on gingerbread but I wonder will it be the same with honeycomb.well having said that HTC has a habit of surprising us in a good way.one more thing that I would like to add is whether the soft keys will still work in tandem with the honeycomb's persistent notification bar; if so that would be ridiculous.most probably they will be turned off.and lastly the version of honeycomb 3.1 or 3.2 - which one will the flyer get and when ?
Both the Gingerbread and Honeycomb tablets have their own advantages and shortcomings. First, let us take a look at Gingerbread OS. An update to the Froyo OS, the Gingerbread came with a better DSP Manager/Equalizer.
It was equipped with features like expanded cloud messaging and enhanced voice recognition, it also came for an SDK manager, speech recorder and an SIP VOIP for those who conducted their business via their phone. But the Gingerbread OS came short on the user friendliness count, it made people long to go back to the old Froyo OS. It also had an issue with its Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Honeycomb OS, on the other hand, is considered a specialized OS for tablets. It has enhanced features such as multitasking and switching features. It also provides 3D transition and Google features such as Google Maps 5.0, Adobe Flash Player 10.2 and the much anticipated Google Cloud.
The Honeycomb is made-to-order to work with the Google TV. It also provides a reader app similar to ibooks provided by Apple. The Honeycomb OS seems a good deal, but it comes loaded with some of its own shortcomings. There is a constant rumble on the net about the lack of Honeycomb apps and Voice Apps.
Already having conquered the market with the Android OS systems. Google keeps on reinventing its Operating Systems. Whether the Gingerbread OS or the Honeycomb is better suited for you, depends entirely on your requirements.
If you want no-frills computing, you should go in for the Gingerbread OS enabled tablets, but if you are an avid gamer or a tech geek, the Honeycomb would be a better option, as it has been created keeping an onboard graphics in mind and creates a great visual experience. -msn news.

I just want honeycomb for the movie studio app. So my opinion is pretty biased lol. Bring on the honeycomb hopefully 3.2. Sense or not. Don't care. Just want that app BAD!
Someone Try to explain me, why Apple 3GS, a phone of 2009 received Google Chrome and even a kind of Google Now today, but a atrix owner, with Gingerbread will never receive such application. And I am not talking to any kind of application, I am talking a google App. A GOOGLE APP. Today IOS received a voice assistant, even a 3GS got it. BUT, my Xperia Neo, with official ICS (4.0.4) did not receive that application. Hell, if Google produce our software, if Google profits in our mobile, why in the hell IOS get the apps and we not. What kind of company is that? Are they cheating us? Yes They are. Please someone explain that to me.

You should blame Sony not Google. Google's commitment is to the Nexus brand. Google doesn't make updates for Sony devices. Blame Sony for not giving you JB. Besides isn't Sony working with developers to get users JB through the FreeXperia program?

I don't know if you're trolling or not but I'll make it simple for you. Google makes Android. You are on ICS. I'm assuming you're talking about Google Now. That is only available on 4.1 Jelly Bean and up for stock ROMs. You can get it on ICS if you are rooted. Google doesn't hate you, if it was in their power, all phones would have the latest version of Android. The reason you don't is because Sony, just like Samsung, Motorola, HTC; wants to take Google's Android and put their own skin and touch on it. That's why your Xperia Neo looks different from stock Android ROMs or Nexus phones. When Google releases a new version of Android, Sony wants to put their own skin on it. This can take a long time because their priority isn't to support old phones, but to put dev teams working on newer phones.
Tl;dr Google doesn't hate you, it's not their fault. Blame Sony

Because obviously the latest IOS API that 3GS supports is enough to port chrome whereas on Android the necessary API calls are available on 4.x

Ok, but chrome and new google search like google now, is offer to even old IOS 4.3.
Assuming that you are saying is true, we can say that even a old IOS, has API levels better than ICS?

Different OSes are set up different ways. In Android, Google Now is built into the system. Its not a standalone app. What he says IS true, you're just not getting that iOS is significantly different from Android. Android APIs =/= iOS APIs

But came another question if Google could developer for IOS in such way, giving them almost Now Experience even with different API, why for android can't?
I can see one thing, that even android has a lot of features, pre-ICS androids, are really a mess. Because if a old IOS can handle an update and support voice and chrome, our GB is a piece of crap, bad developed.

Have you ever asked yourself why phone producer stop their development for older devices? Find the answer to that question,and you'll know the answer to your question (this is unofficial).OFFICIALLY,you can write a letter to Google and ask them,because no one here knows OFFICIALLY.
Is it possible to create a version of Google Chrome for Android devices running Gingerbread? I know many people have said things like this, but I am asking if it can be done. A lot of people still use Gingerbread on their devices, so why shouldn't Chrome be compatible with 2.3?

short answer is no it cant. its only working on ics+ so it cant be working.
Is it possible to create a customized Android release from the Chromium source though?

I received my email invitation to be one of the first alpha testers of the new Jolla launcher. I just installed it on my HTC One. It really is pretty, still getting used to it because it is very different than stock.
This is a launcher that mimics some parts of the Sailfish OS. It lets you get a taste of what it will be like so you can see if you would like to dive in and install the whole OS on your phone replacing Android.
The OS is only available for the nexus 4 right now but they will soon release a development kit so that it can be ported to many more Android devices. In the meantime we have the launcher. The beta for the launcher will start in august.
For more info about the launcher see
