Any news on Honeycomb source code?

Hey all,
are there any news on the release date of the honeycomb source code? The first Xooms are shipping, so it shouldn't be too long, right?

There is a article on zdnet which suggests android developers want android to be closed source to avoid Fragmentation.Also focus on the statement .
If they want the Android Marketplace on phones, they have to use Google's location services; if they want Honeycomb, they have to remove physical buttons from their tablets

This is possible only because Honeycomb is closed source till now.It may make sense for Google to continue this.
I cant post links being a new user.Search for following keywords:
Zdnet How to deal with Android fragmentation: closed source

came across an article on itproportal.com titled "Asus Outs Honeycomb Source Code For Eee Pad Transformer". due to my new status i cannot link the page directly, but i think it will get you the source code for honeycomb.
i did not try it myself.

I read that Google won't release the sourcecode until Ice Cream is near release. They're moving elements from Honeycomb over to Ice Cream as we speak. Think i read it over at Android Central or Phandroid.

Yep I read the same thing somewhere as well.

Informed speculation is that Honeycomb was thrown together fairly quickly and consists of some ugly hacks, and google don't want it released to the community in that state. There was a comment last week where google confirmed they will not be any official releases of code prior to the release of ice cream.

According to google they will release it then they are ready, ehat ever that means.....

honestly, i just had a xoom nd it overheated everytime i did anything ei. web browsing, market, gaming, etc. and honeycomb sucks. theres nothing compatible with it worth using. all the good games dont work, psx4droid doesnt work. its too the point im actually going to say this "Ipad2 is a better dvice." they had everything ipad 1 could use working on the ipad2. we have 2 wait till people think they need to fix the compatiblilty issiues. and untill xoom starts making major sales, this wont happen

Asus has released part of the source code on the eepad page
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/
Hopefully it helps the devs

I'm downloading it now! Even though I have no idea what to do with it. haha.

I read that what asus released was only source code to a kernel.... not honeycomb itself....maybe im wrong tho....and google is gonna get sued I bet.....

Not released yet waiting too.

sued for not releasing honeycomb? they said they will when its ready ...

Google (plus the OHA) writes code which they own. they can do anything with it they want. Currently they are giving it to a few customers (google's customers are manufacturers like ASUS and Motorola). currently the customers (ASUS Moto etc...) have the right (given them by google) to ship compiled code to consumers.
Google has promised that sometime in the future they will give manufacturers permission to ship the code provided they give this same permission to the consumers who buy there product (they are under no legal obligation to give code to people who don't buy there product).
Also Google has promised to give the code directly to anyone provided that it keeps its "free to copy and modify" permissions as it is passed along.
for now the code belongs to google and they can do as they like. In the past they have honored such promises and i really expect them to honor this one.

Rofl. JB has been released for months now and they still won't release honeycomb. How stupid. <3

That's a fail because Honeycomb got released alongside ICS.

Google it. They kept the source closed until ICS release which didn't make sense. But either way, YES Honeycomb source is and has been out for a long time now.

[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...

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.

What gingerbread rom do they have for our phone. Looking to try them out.

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.

I was told that the Alpha 1 wasn't official.?

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.
T.C.P. has released AOKP, Gummy, and Codename Android 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..

Nothing is ever finished in android
Notice the carriers always pushing fixes. ICS will probably be updated within a month after official drops.
Just the nature of the beast.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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.

[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:

My template is here:

Dear Samsung,
May I have the latest ICS kernel source code for Captivate Glide (I927)? Thanks.

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 :

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.
