Root [Boost Mobile] Change Android Builds

[MyndCTRL]

This might sound real weird, or out of place but I was just wondering something. What I wanted to do was setup a build environment on my laptop which is only Ubuntu 12.10 32 bit. From what I understand with that, I can only compile anything up to API level 8 (Froyo). Say I setup the build environment and successfully compiled Froyo, would I be able to flash it on an Android phone that had say gingerbread on it? I'm not looking to touch my warp, but I do believe I have a spare android phone around the house that had gingerbread on it that I would love to use as a tester phone while I learn how to do all this stuff. I've searched and couldn't find an answer, hopefully you good folks have one

Thanks in advance

Yes you could, as far as I know. It'd be pretty cool if someone could downgrade this Warp, I wouldn't might a light speedy Froyo rom on here but anyways yes you can build and flash froyo on GB. I've done it on the HTC Glacier before

I would imagine there would be a driver issue. You may have to find or backport the GB drivers to Froyo.
