Looks like HTC released the Aria source code. HTC Aria – Froyo MR – 2.6.32 kernel source code
Just the kernel source. Not unexpected as the GPL requires it.
I've been looking through it. I suspect there'll be a FR009 soon with new kernel based on this source. I've already compiled one that is identical to the HK kernel some are using as a substitute for the kernel in FR008, only this one is overclockable.

Gene,
Any idea what the differences are between this latest release and the prior FroYo release by HTC? I'm guessing this is Aria-specific...
I've not been keeping up too much with Aria Froyo lately. I've been working with basically an FR005 with a custom kernel based on ATTN1's FR008 kernel source at github (which itself is based on the CM6 kernel with some hacks for the htc specific stuff to work) and it has been working well.
By prior Froyo releases, I guess you mean for other HTC phones? AFAIK, this is the first release by HTC of kernel source for the Froyo Aria (or more specifically the liberty since AT&T is still stalling on a Froyo release for the aria). Asian and European liberties (gratia) have been Froyo for awhile, but the kernel source for these hadn't been released until now.
I don't know if ATTN1 will get a new FRxxx ROM with this kernel out anytime soon; seems he's been working on the new AT&T Inspire lately.

He just said that the kernel source is for the HTC Froyo 2.2 release and is identical to the HK kernel.

Thanks for the info - makes sense to me.
I've used the FR008 release, and it's very smooth. The only reason I went with CM7 is to check out the latest Android version -
Personally, I think the Aria is a speedy phone using any ROM. I actually like the Sense UI, and the email client (which offers pinch-to-zoom) and the browser (with visual multi-windows) are very useful.

I misunderstood. I thought he said, "I've already compiled one that is identical to the HK kernel." I didn't read into this that the HTC FroYo 2.2 kernal source just released is identical to the Hong Kong kernal.
All I did was take a .config from the HK kernel and build from source. That went fine. Then I just added the higher speeds to the cpu frequency table (to allow over-clocking) and compiled again. Installed on my aria and it works fine at 806 mhz. and I'm loving sense again. Haven't fully tested everything yet, but so far, so good.

Any way to generate a ROM zip file? I'd like to try it out...
Here's what I'm running currently. Use at your own risk (nandroid first!):

edit: better start naming these something useful as I may have to post more.
Update: this first one has the a2sd stuff stripped from init.rc for those like me who don't use it. If you use A2SD, use the second one.

Thanks Gene...
This is a really small zip file - can I install it right over CM7, or must I already have FR008 loaded? I'm guessing the latter...
This is just the kernel and ramdisk (commonly called the boot.img ). I don't know what it will do on a CM7 build. Maybe I'll try it. It's compiled based on the .config from the Gratia kernel (sometimes referred to as the HK kernel). It should be a drop-in replacement for the FR00x series up to FR008 (which had a CM6 based kernel). I don't run FR008, but I suspect it will work fine with that since many are using the HK kernel with FR008.
I know this is off topic but, what chances do we have of someone porting the new sense.... I would like to try myself if its possible....

HTC will not publish or release the Sense UI source code and the only devices that currently have HTC Sense 2.0 are the Desire Z and Desire HD which have a different screen resolution than the Aria, so trying to port the existing modules from those ROMs would be troublesome also.
I didn't know there was a sense 2.0. Maybe we'll see that on the Aria AT&T update supposedly out soon.
I seen it ported to the desire from the desire hd, and it looks really nice.... kinda of see thru. So your saying it has to be ported from a phone with the same screen resolution?

None of the HTC models from last year that have gotten a Froyo update have had the new Sense 2.0 (i.e. Desire, Wildfire, Aria). They have only shipped it on the new machines such as the Desire HD, Desire Z and HTC Inspire.

Yes I believe that is true. Both the Desire and the Desire HD are hdpi resolution models where as the Aria is mdpi resolution.
The Wildfire S has the same screen resolution and Hardware as the Aria. This phone will be released with HTC Sense 3.0. Any chance we could port from the Wildfire S Rom, which BTW will also have Gingerbread 2.3.3 out of the box.

TBD once the Wildfire S is actually released. It's all speculation at this point.

Anyone know what version kernel the cm6 rom uses on the aria?
If it is the same as the HTC Dream then i think its possible to use psfreedom to mod the ps3.

Psfreedon is possible o. The aria but it would be from the legend
The aria and legend are almost the same
I've tried asking some devs here to join the port and they ignore me

Have you tried it on the CM6 Rom? All the phones listed say that they have it running on the cm6 final release rom. I'll try it out when i get home later tonight, it may work, but only if the kernel is not different on the aria.
It's too early right now to expect to have everyon join in on the port to an aria. I just hope they can prevent detection on PSN soon.
here's the Engadget article...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/17/android-2-3-gingerbreads-source-code-now-available/
this feels like an early xmas
Just saw the same article and came over to XDA to make sure they knew YAY!!
I'm so excited for Gingerbread on the Aria
Quick Question, when a DEV gets working on this, how long typically to ROMS take to get to a beta or v1.0 stage?
We are going to be working with cyanogen to bring gingerbread to the aria. There will be no Liberated rom for gingerbread because I doubt htc will make gingerbread for the aria. Since htc version uses their own sense software we have no way to port gingerbread to htc version. Cyanogenmod 7 hasn't been started yet. So there is no eta at this point.

Looking forward to it buddy. You and attn1 are great.
Im trying to find a rom but I cant I want it to have OC and Sense and have Gingerbread can anybody help me out?
there isn't one yet. All the sense based gingerbread roms, are based off of the leaked desire hd/desire s rom, and source hasn't been released yet, hence no kernel development.

So is there anyway to port a Desire HD Kernel to Inspire 4g?
They are ported for froyo not ginger.

Just wanted to know people's opinions of the lack of aosp dev support for this phone.
I don't want to take anything away from the Dev's that have ported from other devices but i'd like an AOSP Rom that is developed specifically for the Desire S :/
Yes, there seems to be lack of dev support here compared o all the other HTC devices..
What I would really like is if we could have Android Revolution HD ROMs, and LeeDroid ROMs (there are great ports now from dhd)
But I would prefer support from the devs themselves

How have you got LeeDroid on your DS .

Currently there are multiple rom within this single thread in development, I'm hoping that they are all split at done point other wise it will be difficult to follow

Not as bad as an absolute lack of support.
The Kyocera Echo doesn't even have a recovery, stock or custom. We had root until 2.3.4 took it away.
Now we have nothing.
Should 2.3.4 be anything to be happy about without root? :|

It's been less than a month since Alpharev released their S-off, and an AOSP take so much more work than just copying a Sense rom and adding your own tweaks. Hydrogen Saga is the most stable AOSP I can find, andthis is also ported.
In time custom AOSP's built from the bottom up will come. I love not having any Sense.

I think it comes down to a quality issue. I never used a Cyanogen rom on the original Desire that didn't have a bug that wasn't already reported on the changelog. Not even a nightly.
Roms for the Desire S at the moment are coming with little Quality Control. We are the testers!
Hi,
I've been reading here and there discussions about Kernel 3.0 sources not being released yet by HTC.
Someplace else someone spoke about future release of 3.x kernel source for Sensation.
My question is, can we expect someday a 3.0 kernel on alternate ROMs for Desire S ?
If such thing happens, can we expect improvements, especially in Open SL-ES (real low-latency audio) ?
Thx!
Isn't 3.x Honeycomb? So I guess you mean 4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich). There are no official Roms out yet and afaik there is no official statement if the Desire S will get it or not. But there are custom ICS roms in the the development section. But if you want to test them I suggest you get more info about all the flashing stuff in this forum, to be sure you don't mess anything up.

No I really meant kernel version.
Currently Desire S has 2.6.35(.8?).
heard there's a plan at HTC to release kernel 3.0 sources for -some- devices, so i'm wondering if we can expect a 3.0 kernel to land on DS roms.
Yes he's talking about kernel version 3.0. We probably won't see it for a while. AT LEAST until the first sense 4.0 device is released

Is it a sure fact that HTC will release kernel 3.0 sources after Edge / Ville /... start shipping, or just an assumption ?

An assumption. But if i'm correct HTC must release the kernel source code to comply with GPL. I think it also has to release it due to the fact that android is open source which pretty much ties in with GPL.
