Help Apps and not standard android?

Well it seems this ZTE Warp is a bit picky on some things.
I have found 2 apps and 1 annoyance (for me anyways).
The annoyance I refer to this thread http://androidforums.com/warp-all-t...oesnt-work-conjuntion-clocks.html#post4037368.
The 2 apps one just forced cosed on me, the other didn't force close but I couldn't d/l the modules I needed. I contacted the dev/author and after multiple emails, he asked what phone I had and what android was on the phone, I told him it was a ZTE Warp, and has 2.3.5 Gingerbread.
On the last email he informed me that I was the 5th person to report this and something about the version of android wasn't a "standard" android.

So that leads me to a question. What exactly is a "standard" android? I mean is there like the standard 2.3 and then various versions after that that companies such as Samsung, or HTC or whoever else modify or adjust it for "their" phone and release it, would that make them non-standard?
I'm kinda lost as to what they meant really, so I figured I'd ask here, maybe someone would know.

If the above is the case, then is it possible that some apps just will not work?
I can see if the app wasn't written well, that's a given, but if the app say works on a friends sidekick, but not on mine, is that the app, or the version of the os IE: his=standard and mine=non-standard......or is it the app itself, and how can you tell the difference if it's an app badly written or not?
 
Just seen your post yesterday and Alarm Clock plus was just what i have been missing.I downloaded and it worked fine for me this AM have you reinstalled it possibly the developer has fixed it or i just got lucky ether way give it a go.
 
yeah alarm clock plus works just fine. I just wanted a digital clock instead of analog, IE: the face type clock.

As far as the apps go, I have installed many times, and still no go.

I was told by the dev of the app, this phone doesn't have a stock android or standard android on it, that's what has me confused.
While most apps I have tried work just fine, some do not, some force close, some install, but don't wanna download modules it needs to work.
