Gingerbread?

Is it possible to try?
Has anyone tried it out?
What's the worst that could happen?

i would say if you flash the defy cm7 gingerbread it wont work but worse case scenario is you have to sbf and maybe wipe data. so do a nandroid backup first.


let us know what happens, the phones are similiar enough that it might load but stuff probably wont work.

or if ur nervous wait for me to try, i was going to try it for the hell of it.

i wouldnt try anything other than stuff for the defy though.

crazy question...but it possible to port it? Still just grasping some knowledge for myself...

If I get some time this weekend, I'll give it a shot and report back here. I've been crazy busy lately, a little testing might be the perfect distraction.

Any Updates? :]

IMPORTANT!

The cm7 port for the defy includes a boot.img which means it will brick your device for sure. dont flash it.

its gotta be a stock boot.img i think, but tis for the defy.

Thanks for that. Do we have a boot.img for Bravo?

Would I be incorrect if I said, you can use the one that is backed up inside you're clock work mod backup?

Could we test a re signed zip with our boot.img in it?

Edit:

Okay,
doing more research, it looks like these phones are almost identical, with the main exceptions being*:
*Based on info from gsmarena*

Memory --
Defy _Internal 2 GB storage, 512 MB RAM
Bravo_Internal 1.3 GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 2 GB ROM

Camera --
Defy _Primary 5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, check quality
Defy _Video Yes, VGA@30fps
Bravo_Primary 3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus
Bravo_Video Yes, CIF@30fps

General --
Defy _
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 1700 / 2100 or HSDPA 850 / 1900

Bravo_

Check out the list of similarities if you are interested here:

Bravo_@ http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_bravo_mb520-3538.php

I think we have a reasonably decent chance at this..

it looks as if we will definitely have to work some magic on the camera, as the defy has the 5MP and ours has the 3MP.
Also, probably other minor stuff, APN, etc.

I have the rom downloaded,

bandroidx,
how can we repackage the *.zip with our boot.img file, and then i guess sign it or whatever so we can test it on the bravo?

I would really love to get some of the 'advanced system info' from Quadrant, on the Defy. this way, we can kind of take a better look at some of the hardware and setting differences.

Lmk what you think.

Well the bravo has a locked bootloader. We need 2nd init for a chance at it. Then we may begian the process of porting the cm the defy has to the bravo. And it is not just about hardware specs...
