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!

also if we get gb then we get chainfire support back on board meaning raising d gfx quotient of games esp nfs mw. If we can get some dev support then it can be pulled off
if you want cm7 i can probably help after i make ubuntu partiton on my new computer
Firefox OS would be a better ROM.

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
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
Pros / Con's of Cyanogenmod 7 (not the stock GB features)
Pros:
-more customization than cm10
-(currently) more themes than cm10
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 And gingerbread was old and looked outdated compared to modern day Android (entirely opinion though)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.

Guys I really appreciate your opinions on the topic. Lol, from the start of the development of this phone I wanted a GB look. You may laugh at me for buying a phone that never had or will get GB but the only phone that was availible to me to get GB (my carrier) was the Samsung galaxy Q, and that thing is really bad + it runs 2.2 not 2.3 and 2.2s status bar is ugly (my opinion). So is there any devas that wish to help me out a little?

Well I like your idea of having something classical. And no I am not a hater, I'm just stating an opinion.
That is why its a [Discussion]. What I recommend you doing is to learn how to do stuff on your own and not rely on others.
I was curious about kernels, so I learned. I mean it shouldn't be that hard to follow a guide.
About GB
me too ... i wish theres a GB/CM7 roms here... .. .but it is more smooth if it is a plain GB (doesnt have a Sense) ... and also about the kernel?? what kernel we should flash?
That would be awesome. Oh the days f gingerbread

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.

tbh mate, dont have any high hopes for this kind of port,
HTC phones tend to be very similar (nexus1 is basically a desire) so when a new version of sense comes along, its not that hard to port it to other devices.
Porting sense to a totally different device, from a different manufacturer, with different processor, just makes it too tricky. You'll notice that the Galaxy s, (which is way way more popular than our phone) doesnt have a sense port either (after just double checking this, turns out they do have one from the 2nd of june and its very buggy alot of things dont work)
So yh basically dont get your hopes up about a sense port, with devices you tend to get a modified version of your own manufactures rom, if your lucky a CM7 support, and possibly a miui rom. If the device is very popular then you might get the odd asop rom, but for example you wont get a port of the SE arc rom on our phones or anything like that.
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.

Anyone with me, or am I on my own?
1000% here with you mate.
Don't mistake me, i really love sense...
I never have used a 'sense-less' rom except for IceCold...
I have tried cm7, miui, icecold sandwich
All of them weren't on my phone for more than a week

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.
So, now i have seen people are trying to port from Pico, but as far as i can see that's not working out...
Maybe, there are other similar devices that it is easier to port from...
I was wondering maybe the OneV? Maybe some older devices?
I am dying for CM, doesn't matter if CM9, 10 or 10.1...
Maybe i'm going to port something myself, it's about time i learn ROMing
thx
One V should also work

the one v should normally work.
But i personally think the pico is the best for developing cm9 or 10
I was working on this and ported wi-fi audio and camera from pico without luck so i am going to start developing again and hopefully there comes a cm9 or 10 for desire c
I just took all the files out of mujenis version and modified it a litle bit with cygwin still working on it

Who said i'm getting a new phone? Nah the suprise is still in the works, so far it is stock themed, but im not going to release it like that, if all goes to plan it will have an awesome theme, with super smoothness.
It supports all kernels, including stock, 725mhz, 77xmhz, and 806mhz.
I am creating wallpapers and testing to make sure it is stable and bug free, however This rom will be very app minimal this meaning only the core apps are there freeing space and speeding up the rom things such as facebook, teeter all the bloatware is gone.
There is support for 3D home screen swapping and hopefully support for link2sd soon.
It should be out by the end of the weekend, if not early next week because I have college to fit inbetween.
Be prepared for the ReVoLuTiOn!

You would think this device would be more popular since it's dirt cheap... but I guess the specs don't excite rom developers, people prefer raw performance rather than efficiency. Maybe this device has already hit its limit in optimizations...
I don't think it has, as said before i'm new to compiling and modding things on android, it will take a while I think but hopefully it will be faster than nameless. Currently the scrolling seems liquid smooth and I have tweaked the graphics drivers a little for that extra little bit. However To add some tweaks what i need I can't make a update script that works, but it should be fixed soon once I know how to do it more im learning bit by bit.
People who want too test PM me, I have a couple of testers but i'm not releasing any beta until my theme and tweaks are sorted out.
