Apparently an update to the Gingerbread Samsung source code has been released:
GT-I9000_OpenSource_GB_Update.zip
Anyone have any idea what version this is?
(Downloading now to find out myself)
Haven't found any change log's for this release. Hopefully, the dev's are looking into it.
Well this is exciting. Maybe the devs can make this more stable than other GB ROMs?
OK I'll probably get flamed by people like I did in the Development forum calling my simple question "STUPID"..... but could this be the link to the source code for the P6210?

We already knew where the source code was. The problem is that they have not provided the wifi drivers in the correct form, according to garyd9 the wifi drivers are only binary, so i think that means he won't be able to do much with those wifi drivers. Another problem is that the source has not been updated to work with the newest over the LA3 firmware samsung has provided according to garyd9. If we didn't have the source code, then garyd9 wouldn't have been able to build a custom kernel for our tablet. You can find his kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421466
Sorry if it sounds like if i'm being mean to you, but the source code links had already been posted a long time ago in the development section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375911
Happened to check the htcdev website tonight and saw that they've released a bunch of kernel source codes for the One XL. Get them here
Hmm you're like a week late...kernel source was released a while ago...many threads about it..and yours will be closed
Did someone say closed?
Appreciate the info but as stated this has been posted several times already and the devs are already working with it.
Thanks

Well as you all know, Nougat just landed officially on Newer Nexuses & AOSP Source code. and unfortunately N5 wasn't "good enough" to get official google support, but we'll soon get Nougat test on our beloved N5 thanks to great Dev community supporting it.
but i was wondering the Question that title says !
though AOSP Source code is uploaded for 7.0 release , there are some binaries that i believe closed source https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#hammerhead , and i think they should be updated as well to properly work any new update on device , that's why we see binary files updated by google till now for every official update.
but as N5 is now drop-out of Official support,so google surly will not provide updated binary patches, so does hardware company (Broadcom, Qualcomm , LG ) provides these patches after official support OR our Dev do some digging even though they are closed source and finally by trial & error they fix/updates these binaries ? if it's done by Devs individually, wouldn't everyone's thought for dealing with problem might be different which ends up making some ROMs more stable on one area and others in some different area !
( PS: Well you might got it from Question it self that i'm not a proper technical person in Android and even in that matter in coding , i'm just a guy who wonder these thing & tried to find answer on google but didn't get any satisfactory so end up asking in new thread instead on QA thread so that some one like me also get to know about it also , my previous device (Samsung i9070 ), having closed source CPU (NovaThor U8500) & CPU maker drifted from business , gave insane trouble to XDA devs while porting unofficial updates, so they fed-up and drifted away to new device within months which makes me more curious about this Question, hopefully i'll get proper answer from a Dev/Experienced Member )

Short answer: they don't. Either they use old binaries that still work, or they use binaries from similar devices that are updated. For example, the nougat build available here for the nexus 5 has been built on old marshmallow binaries. Only the kernel can be modified since it's open source. There is not much we can do with closed source blobs unfortunately...
Let the developement start guys. Sammy released the source code today.
