Asking for too much?

All the devs on here are great. Your work as a dev is awesome. I was just curious, you're able to get Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) onto the Optimus S....my question is, would u be able to go all-out and shoot for Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)? What do u think? Just curious

Why? Honeycomb is for tablets...

My thoughts too. Honeycomb is simply gingerbread optimized for tablets, with some nice customized themes throw in.

A nice honeycomb theme would be nice. I downloaded one for cm7 but for an error saying it didn't have the proper configuration for my screen or something.

Not only is it for tablets, but we would have to port it from other devices that it has been ported to. Not to mention almost all the devices that have it ported have Snapdragon processors, so there would be an architecture port as well. Once the port would be done, there'd likely be a LOT of broken things, so all in all a Honeycomb port wouldn't do much :P

you could just apply the theme still... Its gonna ALWAYS say wrong screen size for that theme you are talking about. If you read the thread that you got that theme from you will see that it even mentions that its gonna have an error and to just apply it still. Try that Honeycomb theme again. I used it and it was nice.

This is very true, and it was also ported to the G1 and a few other phones too. However in this specific case (and with the HTC Hero), a tablet OS on a 3.2 inch screen? No thanks, NEXT!
