[Q] Cyanogenmod 8 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I know this might be a really stupid question, but did they just skip cyanogenmod 8? All I see are 7 and 9, what is it?

8 was supposed to be honeycomb. But no source code was released for honeycomb. And cyanogenmod only build from source.
So it went strait to 9 basically.

CM8 is honeycomb but since the source was never released, it was skipped

Why was source code for honeycomb never released?

It actually was released when they released ICS, making it useless, and they said it was "not ready"

Because Google was always planning ice cream sandwich. The bridge between phone and tablet. So they just decided to wait until they released ice cream sandwich to release the source.
They knew all of us on xda would try and get honeycomb running on our phones but it wasn't designed for that at all so they held it back.

Google didn't want the code used in handsets as it was somewhat mashed together to get tablet functionalty. They didn't want that early code in the wild until it could be merged properly into the tree

That's Gingerbread with themed framework UI and bunch of fancy animations.

Notification bar is the first thing that gives it away. No need to look further.

This is GB, if you notice the notification bar its look themed, and at least if anybody have the source code, anyone will work on theming it.
In the video, he only showed music, why? because he putted the music beta 4.0 lol

Pretty sure CyanogenMod already merged 4.0.4. All it takes is someone to compile it. =P
It's not about "bringing over" a new AOSP rom called "4.0.4" it's simply about merging the changes to whatever source for whatever ROM you speak of and compiling. Every single AOSP ROM will merge 4.0.4 changes.

or does it require a particular hardware set in order to implement? Will it be able to be added to other ROMs perhaps?
From what I can tell its only software. I don't think you could add it to other roms.

Ok there is a diference between AOSP Source Code (Straight from Google) And Linux Kernel Source for a specific device (From Samsung) Samsung has not released kernel source for ICS yet.
And no just because google release jelly bean source does not mean we get automatic stability. The Aosp ROM Source has to be compiled and merged with ET4G Libs, Etc, and Kernel. Without kernel source getting jelly bean 100% Stable will be a challenge. But Not impossible.

Aosp source is not source for our phone, it will not contain the drivers, etc necessary to run on our device... look at ics, aosp source has been available for ages but we need source from Samsung for our specific device to have super stable fully functional ics roms

Once we get ICS kernel source. Then the JB source drop will mean a little bit more. Mainly because maybe, just maybe the talented devs can patch up a source built ICS kernel enough to run JB on this phone without a **** ton of issues. If this happens then we can expect to see CM10 and the new AOKP once they drop and maybe some other goodies. What everyone needs to be hoping for though is ICS Kernel source and that the devs can patch that ***** enough to run JB. And please if any of the AOSP Devs see this as disinformation please correct me. I don't want to me giving out false info.
But even with all that said. It is still pretty exciting to see JB source drop. Hell I get happy anytime Google announces or releases a new build.

We have had the source to ICS since last year The source to an operating system does not allow it to run on anything other than its development device without further drivers and in the case of Android plenty of tweaking to kernel and other code. The AOSP source is just a base for manufacturers/developers to work with or if you have a Nexus device its often an easy base for rom development.
Either way it goes, looks like Netflix is already updated for JB. I wonder if that means all the other good Apps will optimize for non-flash support. I don't really care if we get it or not, since I am banking on changing phones early next year. If I don't get it, ok... but if we do, I would really be grateful.
Already on Chrome I have noticed a few news web sites that don't display correctly due to no Flash support. I hope in time Flash dies.
OP, it's AOSP not ASOP.
AOSP = Android Open Source Project
ASOP = Android Source Open Project???
But yes, good news indeed.
