You guys need to release the source code for the tegra 2 thats inside the g2x,you guys dont know how to code give it to XDA nOW
Done

this should be stickied so eeryone can see it and we get that source code
Pointless. XDA are .2 percent of all users, they don't give a rat's ass. We've been through this on the Epic fora.

Vendors don't release proprietary driver source code unless you are covered by an NDA. You aren't going to get it. I got Marvell to give me source code once but under an NDA and it was extremely difficult to do and took a long time. Also, since I was under an NDA it which meant I had the code but could not disclose any of it or give it to anyone else, period. Sorry, but those tweets will just be wasted key presses.
sorry, guys, nagging nvida will get you nowhere!
I'm curious as to why people imagine this might happen? Is there a precedent that h/w vendors for Android platforms have released source for drivers? Or released specs (like register maps) for hardware? Some h/w vendors don't even write drivers for h/w - that's what gives embedded C programmers like me job security (I've been involved in plenty of NDAs like mentioned above).
So what is the "norm" for the Android platform?
Maybe, Just Maybe
we can bug the hell out the CIA and find out who killed JFK! Was there really a UFO at Roswell?

So you really think that after sending them the above message they are going to say what? "Sure, we know we can't code so here, take all of our hard work and make it work cause we are idiots!" You have a better chance of getting the answers from the CIA.
probably right

hey, head on over to the nvidia developer zone at the link below and post a comment, I'm never going to buy another tegra powered device until they release the HAL source for at the very least the A2DP
Nvidia developers page, thread about opening the HAL
Sad how this is the only thing keeping my phone from being perfect, this too will be my last nvidia device...

Yeah I think imma leave nvidia alone after this also.
Cross-posting this from the LG G2X Cyanogen forums.
In case you missed it there is now a bounty on issue 4105 aka "no bluetooth stereo". As of this writing it's over $100 and though that probably won't cover the hours it takes to track down the Bluetooth driver and port it, it will buy a few cases of beer to celebrate.
I'd post a link, but I can't yet because I'm a newb - so you'll have to trust me.
Is this even possible??? Would they have to make a driver from scratch??? If it is possible and legit im down for adding to the pot.
It was my understanding that nVidia needed to release the source code for their drivers to get this to happen? I'm not holding my breath on that happening. I would really like to see the Bluetooth issues worked out though.

..maybe NVidia wants the $100
Anything is possible. It's not easy, and very Time consuming, to reverse engineer drivers.

Lol that's awesome
That is the pretty ****ty thing about NVidia. If they are going to keep their doors closed then at least provide updated drivers frequently.
Maybe when Tegra 3 comes out they'll release Tegra 2.
I've seen so many devs so so many near impossible things here are XDA that I know someone will crack it. I think they are just being lazy now (which is smart) because why waste time and energy if NVidia will release it shortly? But now that we're finding out that it probably won't happen that hopefully they'll start crackin' on it.
I would add to the pot if someone can provide a link

That will be next to impossible. Nvidia is not open source friendy.
I think this will work. If many are doubting, better check out hd2 android...

To write a driver, you need a register set. Apparently that is part of the IP NVidia isn't up-ing, at least not without an NDA. Without a register set, have fun...
So if you signed the NDA, get the register set description (which may come with sample code), wrote a lib, and posted the lib (but not the source code) here, would that violate the NDA?
I would add to the pot as well. I would LOVE to see this happen.

No, that should not violate the NDA. The NDA covers the source code they provide to you to develop your products. The work product is okay to distribute as long as you don't disclose the source code.
I will donate of we find somone that is capable. Maybe we can drag another dev into a g2x as a result as well. Love this phone. Hopefully more will realize its superior smoothness to the crapsation.

Ill trow down $30 on the pot.
I would definitely chip in for the bounty as well if someone could get a2dp/bluetooth to work. I've been pretty disappointed with my g2x and it's because of this.
CM_arcee tweeted it is working on 2x, i think we have a2dp thanks to the fine devs here!

Not sure if legit, or too good to be true.

Woo hoo! Lets get the ball rollin!
Can't wait for the first ROM.
And here I thought I was gonna have a scoop for once! Guess I was slow to get the news after all..
I know this is impossible, but I'm going to imagine my Evo will have ICS before the Nexus ships in the US !!

Isn't that just built from the SDK though? With source out they can do proper ports! I am very optimistic and for me it will be a race between stable ICS on my Evo and a Sprint release of the Galaxy Nexus. At the rate the Gnex is sitting unreleased this may be a legit race.
Anyway, this is more speculation and not really dev discussion so I will bow out before we go even more OT.

Yeah it is just an sdk port but I'm sure they will be porting from source "I hope!" fingers crossed.
I wish I knew how to compile from source , I'm actually trying to learn how.
Re-purposing this thread for those who are engaged in porting ICS 4.0.1 to HeroC.
Please try to keep this thread clean and restrict posts to topics relevant to getting ICS ported to the HeroC. It will make it much easier to focus on the effort at hand if we can refrain from the usual "When will it be done"; "Yay!"; "I know this isn't the right place"; "10char / +1" and "Me too!" posts.
If you have a burning need to express your joy, dismay, ambivalence or random thoughts, consider sending a PM, which I will make a best effort attempt to respond to within 180 days, time and weather permitting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the code isn't completely on the git servers yet? I heard devs should wait for the OK that everything is ready.

Well I got the source synced and I moved some of the heroc stuff from cyanogenmod but still having some problems with lunch.
Code:
build/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk:39: *** Unknown ARM architecture version: armv6j. Stop.
Looks like it'll take a little more work before getting it to compile. I haven't had time to look at anything yet, took forever to get the source. But looks like we might have to port it to armv6 as google only worked on armv7 builds. I'll work on it more tonight, but I'm sure the real devs will have it compiling by then
I emailed HTC's open source department about kernel source and this is the email I gotHTC
to me
Dear Dustin Stoker,
Hey, Dustin, thanks for contacting us about the kernal source for the One XL. In regards to this, getting that phones source code is something we are working on getting up. I know this is something that is being worked on and we don't just want to put up flawed software for the development community to use. So we want it to be as close to perfect and include the patches to previous problems we've run into as well. So, that is why that we don't really have an ETA at this point. I thank you for your patience with us in this and I hope you have a great day!
Hope it comes soon.
same typical

Ya I figured that was the case hope it comes soon they gotta comply with linux open source laws if they released it the talented devs on hear could probably fix it before them lol

Um, if this is an official response from HTC, they have horrible spelling, grammar and sentence formation.
It also seems highly unlikely that a paid developer spelled "kernel" wrong.

Here's HTC's standard response:
Dear $YOUR_NAME
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding Kernel Source code. I know that this code is important to the development community and I will be happy to assist you with the correct information regarding this.
HTC is committed to assisting customers in getting kernel source code for HTC devices. We will release source code in accordance with any applicable open source license terms. We are working to release appropriate kernel code bases as soon as possible after device launch but we cannot guarantee the exact time frame. Other source codes, which are not required to be disclosed by the open source license terms, unfortunately cannot be disclosed by HTC as they may be proprietary to HTC or its licensor.
Please keep an eye on http://developer.htc.com for more information. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, $YOUR_NAME.
