Hello XDA!
I was curious if it's possible for there to be a 2.2 based build off of AOSP.
-I prefer the look and feel of froyo over gingerbread and ics (call me crazy)
-I have noticed another thread about donut but froyo is much more recent than 1.6
-This could be impossible
--I probably sound like a typical 15 year old
Any replies would be helpful!
Thankyou!

Since froyo was never on this phone that would probably be pretty difficult, you could always use a more recent cm7 build and find the theme called retrodroid it will make it look like 2.2

Yeah I am aware of RetroDroid and I just dont think it provides a complete feel of froyo.
I was wondering if its possible to take all the changes and modifications from cm7 and just compile for cm6
I don't understand... your gonna take the best selling android smartphone ever made and dumb it down....
No one is going to do this for free... if you want it you got to do yourself or throw out a serious bounty for someone else to do it...

I'm chill. Nothing about my post shows anger. Just confusion
There are a handful of people that can probably do it in this forum.. just nobody will. Easiest thing would be to smali edit gb to have same look and menu layout. You would have to resize a bunch of stuff. You should try the online kitchen to make a theme then smali edit the files.

Ok Thankyou! That's the kind of answer I was looking for! Not that I know what smali is but hey, as long as I have google and Odin ill be fine!
I do believe Froyo doesnt support dual core processor phones, so it would be a feat if anyone was able to do it. I really honestly recommend just themeing it to look like Froyo over anything. The APIs for certain apps are also present in 2.3+ so I'd honestly say just to stick with that.

Looks like a number of Sense-based phones have been or will shortly be upgraded to 2.2. Any of our great devs looking into this? I'd be more interested in a Sense-Based 2.2 Rom than what we have currently. No offense to all of you. I'm currently running CELB Froyo and love it. I really like Sense and the HTC components as well.
Thanks.
Careful, I asked the exact same question (when the desire 2.2 with sense was posted) and got reported for it.

This is all I wrote, and I was reported immediately by several users:
I know it's possible now since there are Desire and Incredible ROMs running Sense on Froyo, so I'd be very happy if a developer could figure out how to port one of those to the Eris. Obviously they're different screen resolutions (and the Desire is GSM instead of CDMA), but it must be possible. Thank you in advance!

Whaddya think...
Dare I go over there and ask the devs if it would be possible to have a Froyo ROM that will play nice with a partitioned SD card?
(Not to run apps2sd, which is partly irrelevant in 2.2, but just to ease the process of flip-flopping back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs)

In all honesty I think that out very possible. I might be talking out of my butt though. One possibility would be to take the HTC stuff and port it to froyo. It could be intresting to see what could happen.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
thenestor that's absolutely ridiculous that you were reported... people are crazy sometimes.
Anyway when an HTC phone gets sense officially it will get ported I'm sure.
But that has happened. I don't recall the models but there has been a couple already upgraded officially.

senseui
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me that the best chance for a FroYo w/ senseui rom lies in porting senseui from one of the mytouch3g devices as they are running the same resolution and 16-bit color.... Since this is the only phone 'officially' slated for upgrade it looks to be the most promising avenue.
The most exciting aspect of senseui imo.... FlashLite... by far the most missed feature in the 2.2 roms IMO

No it is not.
There are a lot of things out that there that replicate what it does, but do officially port it over would pose some serious legal issues.
Also, why would you want sense? There is plenty out there that tops it.
And, for future reference, please search a topic before posting a question about it.

I'm looking for it too! I guess since it has to do with a lot of legal actions we wont find it on here but it would be nice to have the desire HD rom on the vibrant since we may not see that phone in the US unless we get the overseas version that doesn't even work with our 3g or hspa
What Legal Issues? I didn't know about that.
And What Are Other Thing's That Top HTC Sense? Because TW isn't one of them.

nothing comes close to the HTC Sense if your talking about launcher pro no its not all it does is change the icons and also there is someone working on it now from what Ive received a message from if you dont like the idea of it dont respond with smart comments stick with what you have.
There is nothing that tops HTC Sense right now name one? you cant at all! and nothing on the Vibrant tops what HTC has I like using my HD2 sometimes cause I cant stand the TW I love the HTC Sense and the new features the New desire hd has!!!!

lol, I wasn't making a "smart comment". I was stating that facts.
As of right now there is no sense for the Vibrant.
HTC sense is made for HTC phones, and it will take a while before a stable release if released, if ever.
Also, the code for sense is owned by HTC, so using it without there consent and porting it over to another phone is illegal, even though nobody cares too much.
And, LauncherPro is amazing. What exactly do you want from sense that you can't get on your Vibrant otherwise?
And, nice triple post.
HTC Sense is not gpl or apache licensed. It is intellectual property of HTC. Try to get a port going if you want but it won't fly here on XDA.

I agree this phone is really, really rough if you are on stock.
But after flashing the Bionix ROM, I feel as though my vibrant is smoother than almost any other phone out there..
Accept that sense probably isn't being ported to the Vibrant for a while, and settle the **** down.

I like sense
I have a hd2 with froyo and chukky as a back up and there are some thing i do like about sense. But..... porting over would have too many conflicts and it would not run the same. be patient, the Vibrant is a good base phone there will be enough done in this forum to make the desire to have Sense not make any more sense
Here you go. Complimentary screenie
Is there any way someone can make a mod for screen rotation? Or at least point me in the right direction? Something that's smoother and has more of an animation, more like the Omnia or iPhone? I know you devs are working hard on a LOT of roms right now for the thunderbolt. Thanks, again.

I second this, I thought it was just a stock Gingerbread thing but I guess not? Which is funny because the CRT animation is stock on the Nexus phones, but didn't come with Droid X 2.3 lol so its like each side is missing something.
If someone could put this in though I would be infinitely happier. Quite frankly I am shocked that Cyanogenmod doesn't have it already.

How is cm7 obsolete? Or dated for that matter, so how obsolete is stock gingerbread?? I think cm7 is a great rom, with endless ways of customizing, with tons of themes already in the market for free, is just like saying what's the point of all these Roms in our note android development forum because there all based on stock gingerbread . I think cm7 would be a great addition for those that think ginger is it and don't care much for an ics update, but that's my opinion. I wish I had the time and knowledge with a linux environment to develop cm7 for the note.

you know what devs we need here , the devs from the htc leo/hd2 that took a windows mobile phone and turned it into a development phone that could run any 5 OS like a champ, I had CM9 on my hd2 for 2 months before I got my Note and I ran AOSP ICS prior to that for a month and it's smooth as hell. We never had any kind of actual source for anything for it, actually devs were porting everything from the nexus one/nexus s/sensation/evo/incredible/desire hd and made it work , hacking all kinds of kernels , so yeah there were issues when a new port would come out like camera not working(most common issue) but never the less it always came around, now our biggest downfall is the fact that samsung decided to use two different processors with the two versions of the note, if they only would have used the same processor it would have definitely be a different ball game, it would be one forum and all the devs for the n7000 and the i717 would be working together and we would be using cm9 from the great dev imilka from the hd2 forum.
Agreed. I wish I knew how to dev. On the original evo we had great devs also... These devs just rather sit around and wait for the easy way I guess. Idk.
