[Q] Gingerbread Sourcecode - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

Samsung has open sourced i9000 source code

Hi everyone,
Just read that Samsung has open sourced GT i9000's source code at...
Code:
hxxp://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_list&menu_item=mobile
.. and search for GT-I9000 on this page.
I am already downloading the zip
Looking forward to some awesome mods.
Thanks for all of your hard work!

lol, same sentiment here, I thought someone dug up some old thread
The recent thing they posted was the source of the AT&T Captivate aka SGH-I897...(don't know if it has anything new in it compared to last months Galaxy S source)
ok, what does this source contain basically ?
just curious
As far as I can tell, the full kernel source including drivers (but a couple are currently precompiled), and the changes to the base Android system compared to Eclair AOSP, although I'm no expert in this.
I'm no expert but even precompiled drivers should be usable to port gingerbread should samsung choose to skip it for our precious gems, right?

ICS is out

Google just announced only minutes ago that the source code for Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich is on its way to Google's AOSP tree right now
Breaking News: Source Code Released for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
http://youtu.be/QQ_fiepb2Mc
Breaking News video by QBKing77
original post:
Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in.
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

[ROM][KANG][CM9] | [16/12/2011] | inofficial CM9 - ICS Builds | GSM Version

Hi, to get a feeling about the CM9 - ICS progress, i am building CM9 Kangs from the actual cyanogen source.
Fell free to use them ON YOUR OWN RISK.
This is not an official cyanogenMOD release and you will not get official support from the cyanogen dev team.
I will update the KANG if there are important changes.

many thanks to the CM Team, i take no credit on all of this.
erm... there are no changes in the sources... only the ones from the original google devs...?
or where did you get the Sources from?

as i said it is the cyanogen source.

So no actual CM Code in it, only stock code.
Yeah and also using these gapps gtalk is FC for me (in my own KANGs of the source that is.)

Well, aren't those kangs from Koush? AFAIK he is a developer for CM, and a very talented one. But still, it's open-source, and he gives the proper credits. As long as people are aware this build is -probably- far from perfect (e.g. non working camera etc) then it's fine. I think. Unless CM object

this is the first kang of cm i see around for galaxy nexus. and i've had the phone pretty much since its release.
Naturally, I know cm9 nightlies aren't available yet, I've used cm7 kangs built by me on SGS pretty much since last year, so i'm used to it's release schedule (NO ETA).
As it's not official, it will get no support from CM team. If you search around, you'll see that no kang can be called a CM rom unless it's released by a member of the team.

Kangs has been posted on twitter by the guys at euroskank: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/maguro/
Maguro is our code name so I'm sure those are the CM9 kangs for our phones. It just hasn't been posted on XDA but its been going around twitter for the past couple of days.
You don't have to be a developer at CM to post their releases if its kangs. He's not taking credit, it is all credited to CM and CM is purely open source. There isn't really a "developer" for CM, if you want to contribute. Go ahead, nothings stopping you, it just has to be approved thats all. (Pretty much what you said), and I'm sure everything is working. I had a Nexus S using CM9 kangs constructed by FuZZ and guys at euroskank and everything worked except video.
So I'm sure that maguro would be fine because all the library files for Galaxy Nexus are already available. But everything is still a alpha build. It's considered alpha because a lot of the CM9 features are incomplete. The latest kang comes with DSP Manager so it's getting closer and closer for a beta as everyday goes by.
Numerous tweets (according from twitter) from various "CM devs" such as kmobs, koush (and probably more) have the device so I'm sure it will receive official support.

Do cyanogen ever complete a rom?

Every rom I see by that team is always a alpha version I have yet to see a fully completed rom by that team.

A better question would be is a rom ever complete? There will always be bugs that are found that do need to be fixed just like Android in general it's never really "done" there are always updates to it that fix things.

Well you do realize that our phone is CDMA, Proprietary code is not available for some of the hardware which greatly increases the time it takes to develop our phones ports.
If you like the idea of a Complete CyanogenMod you should grab an international GSM phone preferably a stock AOSP device. You will have a "complete" rom alot faster than you ever will with a sprint device.
The OG epic only became officially supported not long ago.

There is no "official" GB rom from CM for this phone. Rootzwiki has an "unofficial" CM7.1/2 that's no longer supported however. We are getting "official" CM9 and the Alpha 1 is in the Dev section.

There are at least 3 or 4 Cyanogenmod attempts for our phone, isn't that a set team that always develops or can anyone attempt a Cyanogenmod? Don't understand how there can be multiple Cyanogenmod ROMs for our phone?

I think you mean to say there are multiple AOSP-based (original ICS w/o Touchwiz) ROMs for our phone.
Sbrissen and Darchstar are currently working on CM9 for our phone.

Anyone is free to take the CM code and build their own ROM. That's the beauty of open source. All they ask is that such derivative builds are labeled as kangs or otherwise make note that they are using CM9's codebase.
Anyone can become a member of CM if they do good work such as committing bug fixes to the project and take a role in supporting CM on a particular device
Darchstar's build should be considered the "official" CM9 build for our phone. He's part of the CM team. However, until he or others are able to build a working kernel from source for the E4GT and not use Samsung's we won't have a truly CM9 build.

No rom is complete without official ice release.. they don't even have source for our phones yet for ics. Therefore it cannot be completed.. plus kudos to the person who said it will never be complete based off of bugs plus there are always ways to improve a rom regardless; of how "complete" it is.. would you want a dev to make a rom then never update it? They can't make it official until everything is working..

Android has become more and more complex to develop for (both in terms of skill and computing power), and the true developers (not including people who just modify existing roms) have become more spread out across devices.

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.

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)
