Honeycomb 3.0 Sdk released

Shazam.
Roms soon I hope.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Seeing as it's designed for tablets and the SDK is heavily unoptimized I don't think there's a point to porting this to the Desire.

Google said, Honeycomb would be also available for smartphones, and porting is never impossible
would be cool!

No, they recently said, that HC wob't be for smartphones - maybe Android 4.0 will be the OS for smartphones and tablets together.
My source: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ay-never-come-to-mobiles-922897#ixzz1BgVwgrMr

doesn't stop people trying to port it to a smartphone
I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any stable roms come of this... obviously its not the final but still - interesting to see!

I really hope that there will be a phone version of honeycomb!

looking at some of the news thats out at the moment the default launcher crashes but it seems like there is some background for phones in there... (and smaller than tablet screens)
i wonder if the final release might be port-able...

Engadget has a post of the SDK running at a resolution of 800 * 480, so it seems that Honeycomb has two lay-outs in it and uses the one most suited for the resolution it's running.
* the post : http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/28/android-3-0-honeycomb-emulator-has-traces-of-smartphone-support/
So please stop yelling that it will NEVER come to a phone.

I could swear Google said it would - but I can't find a link.
Though Sony Ericcson said in January that they would use Honeycomb on their arc phones.

I was wandering what happened with that gingerbread music player... the one that circled around the interwebs back in December but was kind of buggy at the time? Is there a way it could be extracted?

The one that looks like the 3D Gallery? Also to point out, the SDK isn't even released yet, it's the previews.

READ BEFORE UPDATING: Samsung Captivate Glide gets official nod on ICS from AT&T...
I know there is another thread, but this is to make you aware of several issues.
From AT&T press release for the Vivid ICS that is already OTA live:
android 4.0 now available to htc vivid™ customers
AT&T the First U.S. Carrier to Issue Latest Android Version via Upgrade
Update Includes Beats By Dr. Dre Audio™ and Updated HTC Sense™ Experience
Android Upgrades for Several AT&T Devices to Follow
DALLAS, March 22, 2012 – AT&T* today announced the availability of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for HTC Vivid™ customers. After installing the software update, customers can now enjoy the optimized audio experience of Beats by Dr. Dre Audio™ and new and improved HTC Sense™ experience. Information about these features and more can be found at http://www.att.com/vividupdate. HTC Vivid™ will be the first U.S. smartphone to receive Ice Cream Sandwich as an update and the first to be issued by a wireless carrier. It will be followed by several other AT&T devices in the coming months:
LG Nitro
Motorola ATRIX 2
Motorola ATRIX 4G
Pantech Burst
Pantech Element
Samsung Captivate Glide
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
Focused on bringing the power of Android to the surface, Android 4.0 makes common actions more visible and lets you navigate with simple, intuitive gestures. Refined animations and feedback throughout the system make interactions engaging and interesting. An entirely new typeface optimized for high-resolution screens improves readability and brings a polished, modern feel to the user interface.

While the update is still about 3 to 4 weeks away, I want to make sure certain issues that have previously risen, don't happen on the Glide.
Firstly, If you are unlocked & have CWM installed, do not try to flash the update without first preparing yourself & your device. Updates on devices that have incorrectly made CWM versions that cannot be not overwritten have & will cause issues from simple black screen all the way to emergency dload mode.
to use official updates you need to relock your device & be using a correctly keyed AT&T rom.
My advice to you is to wait for a final OTA to be released & rooted & then sideload the update. ICS will however require a new boot section & possibly radio.
Once I have time, I will write a tutorial based on both my Vivid & SGS2 update experiences.
Until then be happy that you now own the only ICS slider so far.

this is so incredible nice
just ordered this phone a week ago from germany.
It works perfekt, but i was a bit disapointed, that there will be no ICS update...

Does this mean,, the Unlocked (Network Unlock)) has to be restored back the NETWORK LOCKED mode.??
Will the initial unlock key work later also ??

will this issue be more dramatic for the Canadian, Rogers Glide (I927R)? When it comes to Rogers, they really don't announce if an Android device will get (or not) an update...

Is the Captivate Glide available for sale in Germany?

Hi
I can't update OTA the updte from ATT. After the package gets downloaded to my phone my phones reboots and then it cancels the update.
Do you know if it is failing because my phone is rooted?

No, i bought it via wireless.amazon.com and shipped it to germany with borderlinx. All you need is a unlock code and everything works finde

I will release a rooted Version once it is released, so don't worry Canada & Germany! I love my Vivid, but the Glide has really surprised me with some of its nice media functions & overall responsiveness. It is also one of the few devices that will operate on the 5Ghz wireless-n band.
So far, only AT&T has announced plans for ICS on the Glide. Samsung told me the same.
As for lock & unlock, you always need to relock devices for OTA updates, but the one you are getting now is not ICS, just 2.3.6. I suggest skipping that one & waiting for the ICS build which will be here in roughly over 3-weeks. LTE devices are getting first run from AT&T.

Slight nitpick. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro has also been confirmed to be upgraded to ICS. Of course, its specs are somewhat worse than the Captivate Glide...

Just a question all this talk about ICS. Is ICS really that much better then Gingerbread. I mean I have seen the slick new interface but will it be better at handling opened apps and will battery life be better. I am just wondering if I should upgrade or since Gingerbread is working fine (If it ain't broke).

To me, being able to have a real in app spellchecker makes it more than worth updating. I hate typing emails on gingerbread because I am such a terrible speller. And I don't have time for all the copying and pasting from one app to another. Anyways hopes this helps.

In ICS Android itself makes better use of the hardware inside the phone. One of the big things in ICS is that Android itself starts using the GPU for graphics, where it used to pass that to the CPU. This means a far more optimised system overall, which should translate to better battery life.
Because the CPU has to do less to little of something it wasn't specifically built for. This should free the CPU up as the graphics load is now handled by the GPU. But it's unlikely that this freed up CPU-time will mean the CPU gets to sit there, idly. It will probably be used for something else. So that could mean that ICS uses the CPU equally to Gingerbread, and uses the GPU more than Gingerbread. This would mean a shorter battery life.
Going on the information I've got I'd say ICS will be a better system overall. But it still remains to be seen, time will really tell.

So we don't really know if battery life will be better or worse. I like that you mention that the GPU will be more efficiently used over gingerbread, but as you said only time will tell. Guess as always I will wait and see what others think of it once they install it and then see if I will upgrade. Thank you for your input.

Does anyone know if in the updates there will be vertical-landscape transitions? The lack of them on here makes me cringe! Is it Samsung enabled/can we reenable them?

Likely, Acer was (relatively) fast updating to ICS. Tegra 2 is more than enough.

Yes. The Nexus S is getting it, and that's a 1ghz, Cortex A8 single core from 2010 with only a 200mhz PowerVR GPU and 512mb of RAM.
The A100 is a 1ghz dualcore Tegra 2 (Cortex A9) with EIGHT graphics cores and double the RAM at 1gb. There's absolutely no reason Acer CAN'T push an upgrade. We'll see. But if Acer doesn't, there is absolutely no limitation that will prevent a 3rd party dev from doing so (probably in the next few weeks).

Why wouldn't 4.1 come out for the A100. It's only a minor upgrade. If it was going to 5.x then I would say that it's probably not going to come to the A100.

I hope so. I don't see why Acer wouldn't, unless they want to focus on other newer tablets. It would be a shame though, considering its 7 inches just like the Nexus 7 and could easily be on the a100.
If it doesn't, I may consider the Nexus 7, and sell the a100 for about ~$120.

I hope that they do. This tablet is a direct competitor with the Nexus 7. Sure, this is beat on the CPU, but it doesn't have a rear camera or SD slot.

Not counting dev work, its entirely up to Acer. They have to decide if it's worth their time and money to create another update for this device, or count the ICS upgrade as final, and focus on newer devices. Honestly, most devices only get 1 major upgrade before being forgotten, and we had ours. The newer Acers are coming out, I wouldn't think Acer would spend the time and money to make JB for us.
Of course I hope I'm wrong.

Ill be glad to test a 4.1 build you put together, your CM9 is running so well.

Acer just let out ics, and with the a110 right around the corner. I doubt Acer is gong to bother with another update. Especially with the bug complaints and the release fiasco.

Unfortunately the hands on vids I have seen, it looks like it still has that one terrible viewing angle. But the battery is slightly higher capacity.

Ultimate Android 4.1 Update List: Which Tablets Will Get Jelly Bean?
Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A100
Acer updated both the Acer A500 and A100 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, the software was delayed a bit before it actually rolled out.
Given that the software may have caused Acer some headaches and that these are aging devices, an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean may not be in the cards.
Remember, Android 4.1 is an incremental update which means there is a chance but at this point, we would start crossing those fingers A100 and A500 owners.

I just really hope a developer makes a 4.1 ROM. The a500 just got a 4.1 ROM so I don't see why it can't be ported over to us a100 users.

Already tried porting, boot swapping didn't work. Gets stuck on infinite boot animation. I tried it like a week ago or so when randomblame first did it. I was sitting in irc with him lol I literally was porting it seconds after he uploaded it.

hopefully it wont be to say the Xperia S update is coming end of Q1 2013!!!

Looks like the Xperia U entry level phone will be getting Jellybean before they have even announced what's happening to their high end phones...

Way to go Sony, you have seemingly destroyed your userbase... I'm off to get a Nexus4, I can't be bothered with this. My Xperia S feels much slower than my wifes Xperia U, and the camera has never been right since ICS was released.
It's a total disaster, and there is no way Sony will ever be able to fight with the big boys.

Its funny you say that I have a Xperia S and my wife the U! personally I find the complete opposite, my S running the latest .55 firmware is very quick and responsive, whilst her Xperia U with he latest latest firmware is very slow and the camera is shockingly bad!!

Its not looking good at all for us Xperia Ion owners.

The S is faster at some stuff (gaming etc), but the launcher feels sluggish at times. My wife's Xperia U running ICS has none of these slowdowns, I'm guessing because it's not got nowhere near as much screen to "maintain"...
It's very disappointing that Sony have pretty much ditched Xperia S flagship users, and seem to be focusing their efforts at the entry level (the XPeria U is a fine entry level phone WAY better than the HTC Desire C and Samsung Y)

My God, are we desperate. We are looking forward to announcements announcing promised updates.

I'd be happy with a working ICS for UK SIM free Xperia S

M an xperia u user and yup my ics is really bad... Camera autofocus, slow response everything is mashed up so we need jelly bean earlier...
And a most genuine reason for xu getting jb update before others is that is it based on sony' s own novathor chipset ( we already saw 3-4 months ago a video of novathor chipset jelly bean first boot)
Bt I still dun belive it myself that xu will get it before xs or other high ends xperias

Trust me, you REALLY don't want 4.2 It's a total bag of crap. It's totally ruined my Nexus 7. The Bluetooth support is totally broken.

It's 4.2.1 right now, and it has no problem with Bluetooth.
I also own a Xperia S with latest 55 FW, and a Google Nexus running 4.2.1 JB. The latest is my daily.

So when they say S, do they mean the S as well as the SL? I'd assume so since they are essentially the same thing with a different processor.

Calm down, boys, we all very well know that official Jellybean won't be on our phones that fast. It's Sony, so we have to wait(thanks to CM, no more. After CM I see little reason to use stock). We saw news about early november/late october, now it's december, after december it will be january, and some site will yell OMG EXPARIA S IZ OPTODET TO JILLYBEAM!!!!111111
No, it won't happen before the time Sony decided. They won't just say "Hey guys, let's make a surprise" and release JB.

Hi, I'm currently still using stock rom on my xperia s. Is CM really such a huge difference? And which CM should I take? (CM 9 or 10) Thanks!

Yeah, that made me mad a bit... I mean I love the camera and the screen of the XS but since ICS it's a piece of garbage... Losing focus, music stutters, no quick launch for cam, network drop out, random slowdowns, home screen redraw, etc... Last sony for sure... I'll try to enjoy it until it dies and then either a Nexus or WP. Enough of Android's fragmentation, late updates (if any), childish UI on other manufacturers roms, etc. I'm looking forward to see if JB improves anything but so far from what I saw on other devices (mainla cooked rom's however, it won't). We'll see (or not)

Get a Nexus.. I too am sick of Sony and their lack of updates. I had an Arc S, and it was OK, I have an Xperia S and it's terrible, FAR too many software faults, most of which you mention.
I won't make the mistake of buying Xperia again.

Im just waiting for an Sony Nexus. I dont know if it will come out one day.. If not..
