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.

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

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
Click to expand...

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.

Just to let you guys know, the HoneyComb source code was released too, along with the ICS version. So if someone just want to get HC instead of ICS (I really don't know why someone would do this but) you can.

Its funny google didn't want to give out the HC code but had to as ICS uses some of its code and and ICS from what I read can be patch to use HC drives so having both HC &ICS code will be a huge help

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.
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..

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.

Think of it this way: the JB source code will be pushed to AOSP sometime after the Nexus 7 releases. So that means mid July at the earliest.
Then, from there, depending on the code and difficulties migrating, it could take a day, just as much as it could take a month. I'm not a developer so I can't accurately judge when we might be seeing something, but that's the best guess I can come up with.

Eh... who said anything about official support? That was just a proof that it's actually booting. At this point, that's about it, as pretty much nothing else is working and it's extremely buggy. Getting it to a working state may take a loooong time, and also depends on whether Qualcomm will provide sources that supports the 7x30 platform on 4.2.

Hope it will be soon, but it's enough to have W with 3.x.x kernel and CM10 for now. When Samsung forgot the W, it's good to see arco and CM Team are working on this device. Keep working on that guys.

So, since there is no official news release from the Cyanogenmod team, I'd say that this is hearsay...

Ye I'll see if I can do a build of CM10 with 3.x kernel soon. Things are a bit overwhelming at the moment, with 3 Android versions to work on, so it's hard to find enough time to spend on them. I'm beginning to feel that Google should slow down their release cycle a bit. As it is now, there's barely enough time for us devs to get a version stable, before they release a new Android version and we'll have to start all over again.
So it seems all we have to do is to wait for now
