How hard could it be? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To port or make a rom of honeycomb ....... I really love the ui and well ics doesn't seems to good for now ..... but yeah ..... can it be done ?

Pretty damn hard, considering we dont have source code. And its for tablets only.

It's possible if a dev wanted to take the time to port it but seeing as to how Google might not release the source for it then the necessities like data,wifi, and etc wouldn't work unless you build your own from scratch which takes a long time.

Wow. Okay. Imagine moving mount Everest one stone at a time to sour America blind folded. Then learn how to develop android roms and port it yourself before you act like it should be easy. Oh and remember our Devs do this for free so also stop thinking your entitled to their work. Finally destroy your phone and computer so what Devs remain won't decide were not worth their time and just stop wasting their precious free time working to help ingrates like you.

There was already such a ROM in the works, but honeycomb is really not meant for phones. I don't have the link on hand, but just search through the development section and you'll see it. No updates since July though

Way to troll. He never said or forced any devs to make a rom just asked how hard it would be. Theres a pretty big difference.

I answered his queston; its harder than you could imagine. It's not trolling. If you don't like my tone then either don't ask stupid questions that make Devs sound lazy or ignore me. I'd prefer the one that keeps Devs happy since I for one really appreciate their time and effort.

There is a difference between asking how hard it would be and making a thread with a title how hard COULD it be.
You ask the question how hard could it be about anything and you're putting all the people down that could do it or have attempted to do it.
Simple example how hard could it be to run a 4 minute mile. Somebody that can will tell you to **** off. Somebody who tried but could not...**** off.
Op deserves to get flamed for the title of thread. If you really meant how hard would it be instead of could it be then you would understand why people will take issue with it.

It can be done

There is no eta. There is a project underway being led by Krylon360 so I have no doubt it will be available eventually.
I don't mean to be a d*ck but it is considered bad form to ask for etas from independent development. They mostly do this stuff out of love for the work usually in their spare time. If they have an eta for a project they will post it with updates. If they don't, that means there isn't one. Fyi.

Cm is no safer than any other rom in development stages. And yes, it is bad form to ask how long for anything. You need to understand that we devs and modders do this from the kindness of our hearts and for experience. This is the kind of question that pisses a dev off.

You are glad they closed it because I made a comment about them not being like most typical developers and ignore a question already answered? I never used the rom, I understood that it wasn't ready
. You do understand though that these guys aren't the only developers in the world right? All it takes is ignoring the dumbasses like yourself and answering important questions. I enjoy the phone I have and could hardly care if they get an ics out first or if the cm team does. I am patient and have no reason to be impatient

I guess I can ask Santa to get us ICS for Christmas........I realized the pain and amount of time a person has to spend to develop a rom. But some people don't understand the time they take to develop these roms. Kudos to the developers at xda.

HAKA, I see you have a sassy mouth.
bestROM is still in development, I'm waiting on the OTA, because that will be the most stable base possible.
I understand that the name is a bit arrogant, but what developer doesn't make the their best ROM that it possibly could be to suit their needs. . I'v reread the XDA rules and I have not been trolling as some of you say. How can posting a question about the two most most used launchers on ICS be trolling? I posted other threads too actually sharing mods. I really dont understand where all this hate is coming from, I have never told any of you to "**** OFF" while doing the HAKA dance. But I think this is pushing me to say bye to all of you and just buy a Galaxy Nexus as soon as it drops on Sprint.
The only thread that I've seen this kind of capping on, was Swamp Goblin's yesterday. Same thing, for NO REASON.
I've already had a covo with another member via PM, and he was very polite and shared his insight about whats wrong with the forums and I agree. We are all here to share our interest in technology, not to argue. If you really feel you must argue, I think all of that energy should go to good use and call your local legislators and tell them how unconstitutional SOPA is.
So I think we should progress back to the toipc of discusion.
And start by posting your insight on these two launchers.
Thanks DirtyShroomz
I run CM9 Alpha, and I use Nov because I really like the cube transitions, in the app drawer & on the home screen. It also seems to feel smoother, but that could just be the transition settings being at a faster rate.
The thing that scares me about Nov, is that the dev says that once its done, he is going to make a pro version that will resevere features for only paid users, I have no problem with that, but it just makes me feel that he's not releasing his best, that we could all be using now, instead of waiting months down the line.

How? If anything that would make me happy that people are excited and curious for the build to come out. Thats what posts are for tbh. To read and ask questions. If it bothers you so much I would just ignore the threads and work. I'm not trying to be rude but I just don't see why people being curious would upset somebody so much they want to drop all their hardwork. Anyways glad for the hard work you all are doing. Keep it up. A lot of people are excited and curious, nothing to get annoyed about.

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
