Cupcake rom?

[williek113]

This is probably a really dumb idea and since I have no idea how u guys make these awesome roms idk if its even possible but... it would be really cool to have a cupcake (Android 1.5) or any 1.x rom!

No because it would be extremely hard and our phone never supported 1.x

Is williek113 an alias for vernotsky21?

I understand and appreciate the point of trying to do something just to see if it is possible and I have seen how zippy Cupcake can be. I just helped a coworker root and ROM to squeeze a little more life out of a Motorola Backflip with Cupcake on it. The real issue with it was that the apps were so outdated and so many apps on the Market are requiring more recent versions of Android to work. Heck, the Contacts app on there wouldn't even export to a vcf file. I just don't think it would be practical. Besides, it looks just like some of LG's non-Android phones. I don't think newer versions of Vending.apk are compatible with it either.

No alias......just great minds think alike....outside or even under the box(shhhh! they wont find us here)
what about a cupcake with a modified gapps? With a slightly bent framework?? or whatever just so it works?

They had this same thread in the OV forums. It's a lot of work and we won't even know if it'll function properly. Besides why would you downgrade instead of upgrade?

It won't happen. Ever. No matter how much you beg for it, nobody I repeat NOBODY is willing to even attempt do make it run on the Optimus S.

Why? Well the kernel is incompatible for one, and every single software library (GPU, RIL, Audio, BT, Wifi, etc) we need to make stuff work won't be compatible in the slightest.

The last thread about this got closed, let's not have history repeat itself.

even building cm6 would be EXTREMELY difficult (trust me, Ive tried). partly because we dont have any froyo files, partly because its about impossible to even find a place to sync with just because its so outdated everyone deleted it. and like drew said, no one would be willing to do this. its pointless.

And even if it could be done by a team grand crux, what would be the gain? Features? Apps? Mods or enhancements? Functionality? Speed? Customizability? It seems you would be giving up a lot of ground.

if anything, it would be speed. But you would be losing a lot of apps and functionality.

Everything's been said that needs to be, and I don't want to wait until this thread turns out like the last one.
