[Q] Android 3.0 Honeycomb Kernel

can someone explain to me if you were to find the android 3.0-3.2 firmware and or source code files that are used on a tablet (obviously itd be a honeycomb os), with the source code file could work on porting a honeycomb rom be attempted ? or is the firmware/source code im speaking of incorrect of whats needed in rom development. I found an article and have downloaded what was both labeled source code (there were versions used by manufacturer for android 3.0 -3.2) i downloaded the 3.0 version of the "source code" and i also downloaded a matching version of the firmware for android 3.0 used by manufacturer. just looking for more insight before i start posting links or anything, want to make sure I'm giving accurate information .

Given that Google has not officially released the source code, you'd be posting warez which is against forum rules. Once Google officially releases source, devs could try to port it to the G2x but with ICS so close to being released/announced, I bet most people would wait for that since it officially supports smaller and lower resolution screens like the ones in phones.

Your correct google has not but other manufactures of tablets using honeycomb have. Following the general public license released the source code which has been made aware of to google by said manufacture. The source code as well as firm ware is readily available without by passing anytype of payment or "pirating" . So how would this be considered warez?

I was under the impression that they only released their specific bits of code and not the entire source code. I may be wrong, this isn't something I've been watching closely.

I don't think Honeycomb has been released yet. All custom roms are stock based. We have OC/UV kernels but the roms are just slight variants of stock.

Maybe i misread something , but if you google something along the lines of asus honeycomb source code, you'll find a link to asustek which has said source code for various versions of honeycomb , ie 3.0-3.2 don't quote me on it being 100% being what people are looking for just something i stumbled across

Source Code IceCreamSandwich Is Out

INTRESTING NEWS!!!:
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers,the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

Hey dude, this is the development section. If you wanna post in here, you better have something to offer.
If you wanna post relevant news updates, shouldn't it go in the general section or something? Just sayin'

Sounds alot like a development related post when a source code is out

Developement means something you've developed, all developers know the source is out, that's why we don't need a thread in Dev, also this is like the 5th thread I've moved to general about the subject..

Nice attitude

It's nothing wrong, it's just that it's so big news it's hard to miss

No need to keep this thread open mates.
There is another one in the general section.

[Q] Source Link for 6210?

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?
https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp

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

[Q] Source code for ROM(s) posted on XDA.

Hello,
I have been following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991320&page=1 where icoolguy1995 has managed to create a ROM for the Allwinner A13 tablet.
Unfortunately, like many ROMs, the source code is not immediately available for further development. Basically I signed up to this forum because I planned to ask him for the source code, but as I cannot post in the developer's forum, I cannot.
I also notice that this is a reoccurring theme with new ROMs posted on XDA - the source code is often missing, and I was wondering what people's thoughts on this issue were?

You could just PM the creator, you don't need to post in a certain thread to do that. This is the course of action that would make the most sense, anyway.

Depending on the base ROM there may not be source available. Only the kernel source is available as most stock ROMs are closed sourced.

Cyanogen 9 source to P6200L

Hi,
Nowadays I'm going to do some work in firmwares and I've looked for the full P6200L source tree in a lot of places, but I had no success.
In this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576553&page=1) I saw a huge and great discussion regarding port cyanogen 6 to the devices P6200 like. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post comments directly there.
Can some one point to me where can I find the latest source code that @aorth is using to generate those builds?
