[Q] Gingerbread Sourcecode

With the release today of CyanogenMod7, (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-0-released) I seem to remember that the Gingerbread source code was released for the Galaxy S line of phones a couple months back. Are there any Dev's working on Gingerbread for the Epic4g?

Facepalm
That is all.

I knew about this one but now that 7 has been released the EPIC is not being supported from what I saw on their website. Maybe the Epic4G Alpha 4 is a special project that is just not covered in the link that I provided.
Any other Devs working on 2.3 for Epic4g?

Yes, but it is a gingerbread port from the original galaxy s, since the source code for gingerbread is not out for the epic, we cannot code for much, so no developers are really going to work on making a rom for this. Cyanogen mod is made up of custom source code, so it is basically built from scratch, thats why this is the only gingerbread rom avaliable to date

Its based on the same source just doesn't have official support from the cm team yet.. they have to make sure their fixes don't break anything for other phones before they can become official, cm team seems to not want hackery, they are wanting to become a distro, not a port.. the epic team has come a long way in a short time so I don't think it will be long to gather official support, but who know...

[kernel] ICS source codes?

Dear all,
I am the kernel developer from i9103. As both our machine and i927 shares v. similar hardware configurations, I could help to build a custom kernel with features like init.d support, rooting, overclock, auto brightness adjustment and etc. for i927.
As long as I could get the source codes from Samsung Opensource, then, I could help to start cooking for it.
As our i9103 still haven't get ICS official update (but, we get a leaked one), after we submit the ICS source codes request to Samsung, we get it! So, without any official ICS release, we can still get the source codes from Saumsung!
I have already submitted a request for ICS kernel source for Captivate Glide, so, maybe all of you could help to submit a request as well. Hope that the more the requests, the faster the release time.
Link is here:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView&uploadId=799
My template is here:
Code:
Dear Samsung,
May I have the latest ICS kernel source code for Captivate Glide (I927)? Thanks.
Best Regards,

Submitted the request. Hope you get the source code soon.

Agreed, BLN is probably my most desired feature.

I guess we will have to wait for the official ICS release before we get the source code. This is the reply i got from samsung :
Dear Customer,
We can provide open source code for official release only.

News flash, Samsung got there buts kicked by apple and didn't win the current lawsuit they were in, Thus them losing money meaning not so much hope..
Sent From My Iced Creamd SGH-I927 Cappy Glide

They're also appealing that ruling. It seems unlikely this will mean bad news for us in the short-run. Long-term it might mean they won't give us JB officially, but from what I understand our trusty developer(s) could as soon as they have the ICS stuff. Will take time, but it is realisticaly feasible.
Also, Samsung has already put in the time to create the version we've got now with ATT. Unless the ruling covers our phone specificaly we've got nothing to fear from the law suits. And even if it does cover our Glide, legally things won't take effect for us before the final ruling. According to Google Apple's claims don't cover anything they could relatively easily work around.
So, as every hitchhiker already knows: Don't Panic

Eventually we'll get ICS officially, apple lawsuit won't hurt us. Just give it time, and hopefully we'll have JB sometime in the next few months too.

Already done that yesterday, waiting for the reply now. Let's see how quickly they come up with the sources. With samsung releasing the half baked ICS with keyboard light still broken, they need to give us the source if they can't do better.

simpsons did it.

When to expect Paranoid Android on the Note 2?

Strangely i didn't found people asking about that while searching on google...

Soon enough
Imilka has signed up for Note 2 dev list so we can expect a PA
Atleast i can say it WILL come. :good:

As ParanoidAndroid is based on cyanogenmod afaik, i`am afraid it still will take a while mate

It depends on Samsung, they have to publish the scource codes of the kernel and other hardware components or CM cannot go ahed and start coding.

argh,
really, if paranoid (or at least cm10/11) won't be available soon, that will make me buy these LG Nexus or whatever else Google may show us

Right now, there are no official porters for CM10 for the galaxy note.
Samsung, by not releasing exynos/framework documentation, basically has made it too difficult to develop CM10 for it.
The Note 1 developers basically got fed up and quit until Samsung makes it more practical.
So no CM10 means no PA.
We can hope that a new developer takes the reigns, but as the other poster said: we're in for a long wait.

We have no official CM porters? since when are porters official its either original CM or ported CM
Anyways , atleast im more than 100% sure we WILL get ported cyanogen mod, and most probably PA too.
now ive used ported CM 10 on around 3 of other devices, and take my word if you havent tried it yet, a port totally depends on which device CM it is ported from. E.g. If we get ported cm 10, it will atleast be as much performing as CM 10 on S 3, whose hardware is resembling, because the porters will take as much help as they can from CM10 of S3...
And if CM10 may be ported, why not PA? its not like first CM has to be ported in order to port a PA second

Thats kernel source, not hardware sources, they are two separate things the CM team need both to make a fully working CM rom for this device (and any other modern Samsung device)

Yep AFAIK this is just the GPL part of the code - aka the part they are required to release.

It is kernel source (+ platform) have already started building but as always they throw a bug or two at you to make you work for it.

Excuse the noobish question, but does kernel + platform mean that everything needed to compile a functional android system for the device is present or does it mean everything sans precious drivers.

Gotchya. Thanks for the quick response.
I guess the core of my question is if this is useful for building newer versions of Android as they come out (IE 4.2). If not, what else do i need? Where do i find it? Where does this fit into the puzzle

Release AOSP means all drivers and proprietary binaries will be open source?
If that so we could try modifying camera drivers to get less compression on photos. It's funny how 12MPx camera makes 1.5-2.5MB photos, just like my old 5MPx nonOS phone :]

Thread moved to Xperia S General section.
I would request the section mods to close it if it's a duplicate. Thanks.

Nice, does anyone reckons this will get a release for everyone with an unlocked bootloader to use? This would stop me buying a Nexus 4.

Just read the article on Sony's blog. The AOSP project do not longer in the hand of JB Queru. Sony dumped the folder on their gitHub.
They also say that they can't release some proprietary binaries, but they work on it.
Technical status of the project
As for the current status and progress of the AOSP on Xperia™ S project, we actually have a lot of things working now. With the code we’re now making available on GitHub, AOSP now boots up, and we have the SD-card, Wi-Fi® and sensors working. And as you can see in the video above, internally we also have audio and the modem running. However, these functions require proprietary binaries that we cannot publish at the time being.
Going forward, the next steps are to replace some of the previously published binaries with source code, and to get Android 4.2 working on Xperia™ S. This can be used as a development platform, and as a base for the work of opening up source code for more modules. For the latest technical status, check out the project on GitHub.

For now the Xperia S is the closest thing to a Nexperia.

I think it is available, but you need to compile the rom yourself. It's explained on the git page, but still need some skill if you don't know what you're doing.

Could someone please put up a link to their github?

So what does this mean for us, the end users? Getting Jelly Bean sooner? Easier for FXP to finish their CM10?

Not really a good news... Sony is counting on the community to make this evolve... they'll never release the needed binaries for modem, sound,...
