well seeing as they are different OS's, it would be quite the challenge

I had an idea about Jellybean. I understand that porting new OS's are difficult, and while JB looks great, it isn't a must-have for me. However, if a dev ever does attempt JB, what if they just port parts of it?

For example, Google Now is an app. What if we just ported Google Now to ICS or IHO? Would that be possible?

Again, I'm not asking for JB or any of it's features. Just an idea.

Yeah that would possibly work.

I think that there is some confusion about porting versus building, let me clear it up for those who are confusing the two.

Porting is taking one rom and copying parts of it into another rom of the SAME level OS. Like porting miui 2.3 to gingerbread 2.3. You can't port 2.3 to 2.2 or 4 to 2.3 because they are different sdk levels. At most you can try copying apps between them but even that is likely to fail.

Building is starting with source code and making a level of android work on a phone that didn't before.

And anyone trying to make jellybean from a gnex work on our OVs.... good luck. Even if it boots you won't be able to see anything because its screen is four times the resolution of our phone

I dont think Google now will work with an ics rom. Isn't is specially made for JB. I mean its like using the phone.apk from ics on GB. It doesn't work. I think its the same with Google Now.

It might, 4.1 is just an update to 4.0.......GB apps work on froyo ROMs.....

Welllllll nothing is impossible so I guess we can? Somehow?

 

[Capeorigins]

That would be awesome if we could get JB working...

 

[sellers86]

People think 4.1 is like how 4.0 first came out.

4.1 is just like 2.3 when everyone had Froyo.

It really doesn't seem like much of an update really.
