UPDATE ON MAY 29, 2012: I'm sorry guys.
I won't be releasing my project. I'm actually stopping the effort to port the rom. I can't do it, it just is way too complicated to complete.
This means, until I decide to work on something new or find something worth porting, I am not developing for the D3 or Droid Bionic anymore.
I won't be picking up Motoblur + Android 4.0.4 either, so eliminate that question as well.
I hope you guys won't get mad.

I'm all for options, but Sense just isn't my cup of tea. Not to mention it would be Gingerbread based (I don't believe any HTC device currently has ICS), and many people (myself included) would see it as a step back.

What exactly has you hung up, as far as ICS is concerned (just a question)? Everything works, with the exception of face unlock, and some spotty bluetooth issues. Granted, I'm not overly familiar with the GSM builds and their respective bugs, but most people really seem to be enjoying the 4.0 builds...

My hope is that we see something completely new...not a port of an existing Galaxy Nexus ROM, but one built specifically for the D3 and other Moto devices. I would love to see something fresh and original, yet streamlined and efficient, that we can all enjoy.

The HTC One X has it Actually, I think all of the new HTC One series phones have it.
it's will be great if it contains a RTL & BIDI languages as well.....
I'm definitely interested. I prefer having full functionality for my phone, so the ICS ROMs are out for me for now, and I prefer the GB ROMs to be unthemed. It seems that all of the themed ROMs have something that I think looks mediocre (bad fonts that make it difficult to tell normal from bold, or that flow badly; on screen button elements that do not work right; mediocre battery indicators on the status bar; unattractive notification pull-downs; etc.)

i really hope its a good, multi-lang, gb 2.3.7 rom liek cm7.2 without any bloat like sense.
maybe even the hw-codecs and such are working?
btw. if you need a gsm guy for testing, msg me.
Here's an update:
This rom is a pain in the ass. It really is. So the chances of me completing this, with school and other things have gone down to about 20% from 70%.
But here are some details:
Gingerbread 2.3.6
Later Software from another device (I'm not naming it)
No GSM compatibility
Sorry GSM users, there isn't a way GSM will work on the rom until the device I'm porting this from is updated later this year.

Are you using the Bell or Chinese ROM? I worked on the Bell 2.3.6 port, and it worked, but my modding/theme-ing skills are weak, so it didn't move much past stock appearance with some build.prop tweaks.

Well, i just have a feeling that the total happy modding flashing days of the IncS is coming to an end
Every day i check these forums & the quantity of posts have diminished, not much development either.
i guess the last stop would be the ICS official release (if it happens) post which am certain there won't be any further updates for the IncS...
the shelf life of the phone seems just to be over a year...
all good things must come to an end
and that makes me quite unhappy
Well, if you saw the evo 3d had no action, and the ics leak brought it back to life
Hopefully that will happen to us, but it seems more and more people are selling and buying something else :/
Still, looking forward to a stable sense 4
Once ics is released things will pop back to life. No one wants to spend time on an old os. It's much much simpler to mod a official release than a ported one. All I want is a senseless version of the official with trebuchet and ill be happy.

I agreed with you about the senseless version. IMO, ICS default launcher is better than sense.
I hate the way they classify "denied-call" into "missed call". We got it, not missed it.

True, but I bought a HTC over a samsung initially because of not only sense, but the fact that it has more ram. 768mb is more than enough for ics
Whats the "Plus" in sense:
-The animations that you wont get in any other Android mobiles like Samsung, LG etc..
-Launcher looks
- Extras like Weather animations. (That made my friend who has a S2 jealous of me)
- HTC sense integration with internet.
- There are many other plus point in sense.
Minus: It makes the phone lag sometimes. But i never experienced the lag. I see my phone lagging only when i try to play a 720p movie and i try to skip some scenes it takes some time to load which didnt happen in Sense-Less ROM's.
Love sense too can't wait to get sense 4.0

I love Sense but after using ICS i just cant go back to Gingerbread. The Appdrawer and notifications are just so much better on ICS
And to the original topic, Miui no longer supports incredible S so in a way thats sign. But once official ICS comes out I have a feeling development will spring to life again.

playground and ice cold are the closest to it
find a fully working version of ICS for the IncS then we'll think about JellyBean.
ICS been out since last year, only until recently we've seen some better roms on xda, i'd give it till next yr for JellyBean if anyone is still developing for the IncS then.
This might make HTC release the source faster when they realize that they are updating to an old os

I think it's strange we dont have an official CM9 nightlies for our phone
there's loads of unpopular **** phones that have it ...
I'm guessing we're still struggling with hacking the proprietary camera and graphics drivers in our phone. The only 99% stable ICS roms i've found are the Sense 4.0 roms (and even those FC when trying to take pictures at max res). I much prefer AOSP, but it crashes too often when using graphics intensive applications.

Samsung galaxy tab 1 and 2 has official CM9 and both don't have ICS sources
the 7" tab1 is gingerbread oficially, but remarkably everything works in CM9
The 10.1 inch tab 2 (GT-P7100) is honeycomb and in CM9 the camera doesn't work
So your statement seems invalid ...
Am I the only one working on this, or does anyone want to join me on IRC? Dev help only, there won't be any test files or anything to flash, so there is no use saying "Yeah I'll come in!" if you just want a file to install, I need someone who can help with making the right edits to the init files, cause after 5 versions I can't get past the bootsplash.
guys,just to be patient, we all will get it.
Hey guys, its an humble request. Can any1 port the stock roms of Xperia Z, Htc One or Galaxy S4? I know its tough, but any person with dev skills can do it ! I have no knowledge about porting roms. As these devices are on 4.2.2, it wont be that tough. So please try and let us know what you think. We will be more than grateful if sm1 does it.

I don't think you realize what kind of work porting these roms means. These are huge projects, and not every developer that works with aosp is capable to do that. These roms have different frameworks...to name one of the major difficulties (This is not the same what making a nice theme) Anyway, Sense project has already been started. It doesn't boot yet unfortunately. And as far as I remember Galaxy Nexus doesn't have fully working ports.

Possible yes, probably not. It's not just that Android versions have to be same, the hardware has to be similar too. Even then it would need months of work, experimenting, etc. Optimus g is almost the replica of the nexus 4 , even then porting LG ui is not complete. That's how hard it is.

Exactly and here we're talking about three different and sometimes by far more complex ports (not to mention different screen resolutions). Possible in theory? yes! I do like the idea very much. However probability to build a daily driver is rather very low. Every single project would take simply too long.
writing [request] in the thread title doesn't mean it's gonna happen
Yup i agree, its a long way to get these roms working! But its not impossible and we have a pretty awesome devs lineup and an awesome community as well

It seems slg1119 from the at&t optimus g thread managed to port htc sense 5.0 and make it boot but, besides touch everything else doesn't work. It's a start and maybe someone could port that for the nexus 4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353971
there are a lot of proprietary stuff in those roms. it's not gonna happen. use icon packs, 3rd party lockscreen apps etc.. to replicate a sense or touchwiz feel, but you'll never get those air gesture, smart stay and what else features.
i respect that some people like those OEM skins, but i know i would never flash a sense or touchwiz rom even if there were totally bug free ports available for my nexus. Since the galaxy nexus days, it's clean vanilla for me all the way.
A sense 5 port would be cool
if we can get s4 camera feature only is that possible or htc's
It would be cooler to be able to port the actual apps to the nexus. Like porting the framework to work on the nexus 4 ROMs. I personally do not need all that bloatware from Samsung/Sony or HTC.

This is a topic that discusses the possibility and pros/con's of having a gingerbread rom on our desire c.
Personally I think that gingerbread is like CLASSIC android, and 4.0+ is More MODERN android.
I have absolutely no experience in building Roms so I ask the developers here to maybe try to build something more old fashioned
I am willing to test any and every ROM made.
What do you guys think?
I feel that we have run out of Roms to build in android Jelly bean so why not try something old but fresh!

Thanks that would be awesome!!! And to all the haters (me, and brnt) not everyone likes the way android 4.0+ looks. I personally like it but I like 2.3 better...
Pros / Cons of gingerbread:
Pros:
- better menu look
- faster performance on our hardware
- less bulky than jelly bean (animations, apps, etc)
- more classic of android
- AWESOME 3D GALLERY
- Officially supported hardware
Cons:
- less smooth as jellybean
- less app support
- less RAM management

Pros / Con's of Cyanogenmod 7 (not the stock GB features)

Con's:
-less "spin offs" (Provision, Etc.)
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
Why would you downgrade a device to software that is 2 years old? If you wanted to get 2.3 buy a wildfire S... The main selling point of this device was at the time it was a very cheap and good quality handset running the latest version of android which was 4.0! And gingerbread was old and looked outdated compared to modern day Android (entirely opinion though)
The points you made with stock gingerbread were mostly opinion, and about the jelly bean being bloated (which I agree with) remember that the HTC Desire C came with stock ICS which was smooth when coupled with sense. And I think someone can port the "AWESOME 3D GALLERY" if it hasn't been done already.
It would be great to see it happen, but what's the point?

If you want GB ( Not CM7 ), you can port stock rom from HTC Explorer. Desire C and Explorer have same chipset, so the ROM will boot and function out of box. Only, BT and WiFi wont work at first. You can fix that later.

You should use kernel 2.6.x for GB. For that you need to port Explorer's 2.6.x stock kernel source to Desire C, just like we ported 3.0.x kernel for Explorer from Desire C.
