porting apps to 1.6 - Click Android Development

Is there a way to port latest gapps and apps like phone.apk and the browser etc to android 1.6?
i'm thinking a android 1.6 ROM with all froyo applications that it will look like froyo and have a working camera etc
why try getting froyo to work when we can improve what we already have
at the moment i'm installing Linux on my laptop and i'm gonna get cracking at this any developers interested in my idea?

Nice idea, first of all, I suggest to try every app to see what works..
I think the big porting pb for the ones that don't work will be the newer APIs

so basically we need to re dev the apps from scratch?

i sense alot of coding involved in this project {sigh}

Is it possible to create such a patch which will be able to enable JIT on 1.6 Roms?

Since google just dropped (most) of the 2.0 source code in AOSP we could try building it, but chances are it would require frameworks from 2.0.
You have flash on your G1? I *highly* doubt that. Sure you could have got the flash player .apk to install but that would be useless because the browser doesn't support the flash plugin.
how did u get the flash player on your g1 and does it work right? if so can you tell us how?
Not to sound rude, but is there a reason why you created two threads for this? Shouldn't they be merged into one "think tank"?

Yes.. you did something very wrong. You didn't search.
Just wait for the Sense UI 2.2 ROM if you want both Froyo and Sense.
Desire ROM 2.2 has been leaked and is fully working I assume, as the devs working on it say it might be out by tonight. Hopefully the Nexus will get a full port by tomorrow... No promises though

Lol tomorrow would such a nice time, but I assume its a tad bit too early. It would be really awesome though..
i mean i want use stock google froyo rom and the apps from sense ui
is this possible?
Nope. Only the game Teeter.
Is there a version of the teeter.apk that will install to SD if we are non-rooted?

[REQ] Eclair browser /w multitouch and user profiles for AOSP 1.6

I'm using TheOfficial AOSP 1.6 rom , and was wondering if anyone can give me an update.zip for the Eclair browser.
The one with MultiTouch and user profiles like (iPhone , Desktop , Internet Explorer 6 , Android , etc.)
Thank You.

i pulled the browser from cyanogens latest donut rom , pushed it to my phone , but it won't install...
i would appericate if someone know's of an update.zip and can share it with me , or perhaps make me one. thanks for your time.
i really hope you get that working im thinking of going bact to donut or cupcake but will miss a few things
Your only chance of getting this to work is ripping it from various Donut ROMs that include an Eclair browser and pushing it to /system/app or just intalling it. If it doesn't install, it won't work. I don't think offical AOSP even supports multi-touch.
I thought multi touch was enabled in the kernel, not the app. I could have sworn I read that somewhere.

Is this possible?- Data2ext

Hey All,
I was just wondering if data2ext would be possible for our beloved milestone. Could some devs please take a look at this - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/new-hack-for-desire-and-nexus-one-data2ext/ ?
I hope this will be possible.

I'm going to say no (on Froyo) currently - data2ext seems to requires the same thing that apps2sd (CM) does, and the G.O.T. 2.2.1 leaked SBF doesn't support it.
If you still have 2.1u1/2 from MOTO - then maybe.
So you are saying that the former one is may be compatible but no for the new one ? may be we have to wait for the officiall froyo for this ?

Yes, the 2.1 moto kernel supports it, but the leaked 2.2 moto kernel doesnt. Hopefully the official kernel 2.2 will. So if your phone is still on eclair it could be potted, but I don't think any devs are focused on eclair roms much anymore
The way it's implemented requires ext access from Android. This requires a kernel module which for now does not work in our leaked 2.2.1 based builds. It will probably work when Moto releases the source code for the kernel. As of now, ext access is only on 2.1 based builds.

So will this work with eclair then? (2.1) And if yes, how?

yes, it should work on eclair - if a dev is willing to try to port it.
Can't wait, hope this will get ported so I can mess with it my Milestone.
Tried this on my Droid tonight and had no luck. On my old phone(CDMA HTC Hero200) I was going from 190MB of internal space to around 473MB of internal space. I just tried it tonight on my Droid with all the coding on Better Terminal Emulator Pro and had no luck whatsoever. I am running CM7.1 Stable on my Droid. It's Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread and thats what I had on my Hero as well. I'll keep looking at the coding and everything and see what I can do for us. I'll talk with some guys over in the Hero Forums about it too. There are different types of data2ext versions as well that may be of some use to us.
EDIT: OK,I had an old android app sitting around on my external called swapper.apk. I gave it a try on my droid today as well and had no luck. I used to use that app on my old T-Mobile G1 way back in the day. Thought it MAY work but got nothing,I'm at a loss right now but will keep working on this for everyone!

[Q] Looking for bare Android 2.1 ROM without HTC Sense

Hi,
I'm looking for a ROM for the Wildfire, with bare Android 2.1 (Eclair) and WITHOUT HTC Sense installed. It means that the Contact and Calendar applications must be the original Android 2.1 ones, not the HTC Sense ones. It seems these native applications are not installed on the HTC ROMs and are replaced with customized ones. And it is not possible to restore them using "Clear default actions" in HTC Sense application options. I spent some time looking for such a ROM but couldn't fine one (I only found several ones with Froyo). Would you have a hint ?
Thanks.
I've not seen any AOSP 2.1 ROM's. There's plenty for Froyo though. CM is my favourite. Why do you want 2.1 over 2.2?
I need a 2.1 ROM because I need to do specific tests with this version which behaves differently from the 2.2+.

Sorry but I don't think there is any. Just had a look on Modaco and Villainrom too but there's no AOSP 2.1 ROMS. Could you use the emulator in the SDK?
Thank you for having dome some searches.
> Could you use the emulator in the SDK?
No, it is not as complete and lack some applications.
you may try wildpuzzle 2.1 and use its "remove HTC apps" patch....
not sure if you want that only though.. bt theres no harm trying
I think the early (buggy) builds of openfire rom were 2.1 but I cant find any now.
All I can find from the moment is version 2.0 which is Froyo.
Found one!!! It's pretty buggy but...

I may try that if this patch restores the original contact and calendar application.
Could you tell me where this patch can be installed ? Is there a place which describes how it could be installed ?

Thanks ! I tried it but unfortunately the calendar application crashes. It seems related to a problem with feeds... Maybe it's because this ROM didn't include Google stuff (account, feeds, etc.).
Wasn't there a 2.1 cyan build?
