... i have a 2.1 Device and want to Port 2.2 to it ?? Port Android 2.2 to a 2.1 Device...
don't needs to be device specific... a generall statemate is allready more than i have now!
I think the point that is trying to be made is that you have a device. It happened to have come with 2.1 on it. It's not really a 2.1 device. It's just a device with 2.1 on it. You just need a kernel and device drivers that are compatible with 2.2 and your device. That's very much a summary though.
If I had to guess, you should be able to get most things working under 2.2 with the drivers from 2.1. However, I only have 1 device (a Droid Eris), so I have no experience with the devices that you mention.

i'm awar of that the device is "not a 2.1" device only... and it could be possible to get an official ROM in future.. but i wanna try to do it earlyer on myself!
so that is the point...
i saw this from HD2 Android Development...
there where firstly only 2.1 available..
but shortly after that there was a 2.2 Port too!
i pretty guess that they didn't have to rewrite the hole modules (drivers) the just edited somethin in the Nexus/Desire 2.2 File so to match the HD2
thx

Understood.
It's quite possible, I'm sure. There has not been an official 2.2 update for the Eris (and won't be), but there are several CM6 (2.2) ROMs out for it. The same for the Hero and probably several others.
I have a partially working AOSP (non-CM) 2.2 ROM, but have yet to get the audio to work. (I really like to hear the phone ring, so it's not quite usable yet.)
ok sounds good so far...
now the question is, whats the general process of gooing such a port on?
to get the system dump is not the problem... that should be done easily...
Are you talking about below device ?

hi,i bought a android tablet ,it is donut 1.5 system is that possible to root it,coz want to remove some default app...any one can give the solution?
my android tablet is call Efren it was the lowest android ver donut 1.5 ,u can find out the spec at here:http://www.mi-store.com.my/product-mid-mid1.html
No need to ask. If it's Android, it can be rooted. The G2 was T-Mobile's "unrootable" device, and it was rooted as soon as HTC released the kernel source. So the answer is "yes" it is possible. The real question here is "do enough hackers own it TO root it?"
ok,thanks for the answer,is there any one own a android tablet .5 with RK2808 chip with 128mb ram img files?would like to flash to others ver or 1.6 ver with the same hardware may do also~
Hey guys
first thx for helping, im thinking about buying the Experia Arc with the androod 2.3 installed but im kinda afraid cuz very soon the android 3 will come out so i want to ask ya is it possible to update the 2.3 to the new version ?
cheers
3.0 is not available for phones, it's tablet only. 3.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) was only announced today, and won't be released until October at the earliest, so no one is going to have any information on porting it to any device at this point.

Actually 3.1 is an update to Honeycomb which is soon to be released to the Xoom. Ice Cream Sandwich is 2.4 which includes mixed features from Honeycomb and Gingerbread. Also Honeycomb has been ported to some devices. I got one to work on the HTC Hero, although every port lacks almost every feature because it is from the SDK image and not source as source has yet to be released.

thanks for your replays,
but still whenever the new version come out will i be able to update my Os ? used to have X1 before and to put an official 6.5 was a pain so is it the same with android ? or i can always update to the latest version
thanks again
The Cm7 development tree is gradually incorporating ice cream/honeycomb features into 2.3.4 with "tablet tweaks" while we're all waiting for aosp. Not very many options currently exist besides moving the status bar to the bottom, but the soft buttons are being merged now and most devices currently have 3.0 ports that just need the actual source to be released now to get things like phone.apk and wifi drivers working. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rom dev have a fully working port for the arc the day after google releases the 3.0/2.4 aosp, so I would base your buying decision on the performance of the arc compared to other 2.3 devices currently out or being released this summer.

Upgrading the Android OS is always going to be 'hard' if it is not an official upgrade by the distributors of your given phone. If you are rooted, which for some phones is a difficult process, you can upgrade, albeit that it's not official for your phone.

From what Sony is announcing you will get the update to whichever version of Android is available past version 2.3 faster than they have released updates in the past. If this is true don't worry so much about the version of Android you're running since 2.3 is actually a very much complete package (in my opinion) and you can also say the same for version 2.2. Anything 2.1 and below is not even worth considering.

I am looking for the original rom of Intex ENVY IT-M709MR in form of update.zip.
thanks for help.
Cyanogen mod is another version of the android operating system. Basicly they take the normal Android OS, and some fun skins and tweaks to improve pr change system performance, and release it out for most Android devices. Because hardware can be very different for each device, not everything is going to be universile. Cyanogen is a great way to get rid of anoing bloat ware put in by manufactures and providers. I started using CM7 for my Samsung Captivate because I was tired of AT&T apps deciding they needed to start running on their own.
Clockwork mod is a bootloader (and a few otherthings) that can help you backup your device, restore it, and flash on new mods and roms. There are other types out there as well; I use an old clockwork mod on my Captivate, but I use Burrito for my Kindle Fire.
Odin is supposed to help you return to stock settings, like you just walked out of the store with it, before doing all those evil things like trying to get rid of apps you don't want and will never use.
As for how to get those on your device, I don't know, I haven't used one before. But good luck.
Also, please don't open new threads when you are working on the same problem / upgrade

Hello friends,
since i've bought my Desire S, i'm playing with CustomRoms and like to try new one's. So i'm not totaly unknown in this section. I know that we need the new Kernel 3 for get ICS working in our device. But yesterday got my wife her new phone, a Sony Xperia Ray (which is realy great, btw!). I've updated via SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to official Android 4.0 and saw, that this phone still use the 2.x Kernel, instead of 3.x! I'm just wondering about that and i'm a bit confused. Can anyone explain?
The second one is about compiling / creating a own kernel. I've saw in Desire Section, that they try to create a costum 3.x Kernel. And for Samsung S1, they are finished to create them and got many ICS Roms working. So, is it so much hard to create / compile a 3.x Kernel for our Device? Is it possiple to compile a Kernel from Kernel Source Code: http://www.kernel.org/ ??
Best greetings.

I'm not sure as to why the current devices with factory ICS or updates to it have kernel 2.6 (because I had the chance of playing with a one x and it had kernel 2.6) but the samsung galaxy s devs could make the kernel work because the exynos processor ( or as it was called back then hummingbird) is open source, unlike the snapdragon in our desire s. Also the original desire also had a snapdragon processor, which unless htc released the source, makes it almost impossible to make a custom3.0 kernel. We have kernel 3.0 on the DS because it was leaked and apparently it cannot be modified to work with vanilla ROM's(it only works with sense). So, I hope I cleared your misunderstandings as best as I could
Hi all,
I've never installed android on a mobile device & I'm not sure if I can use any flavor of Android available
or if it's advisable.
Google's dev site, has Nexus 7 4.1.1 kernels available for download. I don't know if I should install it for
my generic tablet. I'm a bit hesitant in installing, even though it's what's installed, because this device
is my baseline for testing a game that I'm developing for low-end hardware.
My problem is that the company pushed updates that BRICKED my tablet.
If anyone has thoughts or can help me I would really appreciate it.
The company's support is atrocious! This will be the 2nd time I'd have to send a device back to them for
an RMA...once is enough.
Specs if it helps: 1GHz dual core Cortex-A9, Mali-400 MP GPU, 1Gb RAM
Thanks in advance...
Have you fixed it, I have the same problem, I need the original rom to flash. At Machspeed they simply won't do it. If you happen to have yours working I heard that there is a way to extract and zip the rom for future flash in case you need it.
