Did i read this right? Devs have their hands on gingerbread, are porting to devices

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...her-phones-heres-our-frequently-updated-list/
Thread title says it all.

They have the AOSP source code so yes many phones have gingerbread right now but not an official release or anything like that

cyanogenmod 7 nightlies start next week.

Moved to general

Allenfx,
I went to several of the sites and as I understand it what has been done is release the stock Android 3.0 Honeycomb stuff to the developers. But now they will have to tailor it to the hardware of the individual devices. I did see tegra2 stuff where I looked.
So I think you might say it is coming. But it will depend on how long it takes to get all the drivers and settings to work.
It will not be a quick process like the updates for VEGAn, TNT, etc. Much more work and detail to be done.
If this doesn't answer the question, someone straighten me out!

Nice to know its being worked on

Not sure it makes any sense to spend too much time working on GTablet ports to Gingerbread (i.e. Android 2.3) when I'd expect that Honeycomb (Android 3.0) devices will be out shortly and the Honeycomb source will drop for AOSP use within a couple of weeks of the first device -- which looks like it may be the Motorola Xoom...
As mentioned, Cyanogenmod 7 will be Gingerbread and will likely be the first ported to the GTablet (assuming that there isn't too much driver tweaking involved between Froyo and GB)

2.3-3.0
I think we will see gingerbread in early summer officially released by viewsonic, although modders here will most likely have a great Rom based on 2.3 before then. My bet(just my opinion) we wont see Honeycomb on the G tab until sometime in the fall.
Would love to be wrong and see 3.0 sooner.....

What is your source for Gingerbread being available in summer from Viewsonic?
Source Please?

Notice how he said "I think" and "my opinon". The source is himself.

That was a little joke for my amusement.
But thank you, I think you made my point for me. I had made a comment in another post and gave my opinion and wantadroid asked me to site my source of information (inside info). I posted that I have read... and I got this reply:
"Please give us your inside info on the hardware problems.... I haven't found A thing to make me believe the G tab won't EVENTUALLY get Honeycomb."

Honeycomb port to Nexus S?

I saw that honeycomb is being ported to the N1, any ideas on when/if it will be ported to the NS?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

1) Wrong section
2) all the Honeycomb port are coming from a crappy SDK emulator
3) all the Honeycomb port are just showcase and are not usuable for a daily use
4) You can ask this question once Honeycomb will be official and source downloadable from Google.

I thought the source was available for honeycomb.
Might be mistaken.

The Moto Xoom will only be available this week.
All the previous tablet and demo you have seen were beta Honeycomb.
So, no, final honeycomb is not yet available. (if I am wrong, please correct me, as I live in Europe I have not all the US news.)

not beta honeycomb.. they're honeycomb ported from the SDK.
you got it right before about it not being a daily driver. whats the point into putting so much effort into a SDK port when the actual source will come out later?

ehh you already have an NS that receives priority updates why would you want a sketchy port of an OS when honeycomb isnt even meant to run on a phone?
just wait till 2.4 or w.e is next because it should be including the honeycomb features that we all want

Uh what? Where did you get any of that information? 2.4 is still gingerbread, Google has said that. The "I" iteration (currently colloquially called Ice Cream) is the one that will merge a lot of the functionality of honeycomb and previous iterations. Also (I'm looking for the link now) Adobe made some comments that make it pretty clear that honeycomb will be coming to phones and there has never been an official statement ever, ever, ever calling Honeycomb a "tablet only" OS. What El Goog has said is that previous versions of Android were not designed for tablets however Honeycomb would allow optimization for larger resolutions.
Regardless of any of that, what is the point of having a powerful phone that can be easily hacked if you're not going to experiment with it. I have no intention of waiting and I'll flash the first damn build of hacked honeycomb regardless of the risks. I bought this this phone because I wanted to try things and do interesting things with my phone.

ics source coming at nov.17

The CEO of Notion Ink, Rohan Shravan, is at it again with news about the Ice Cream Sandwich source code release, saying it will be released November 17. While it's tempting to just toss this aside as another rumor in the ICS/Galaxy Nexus craze of late, Mr. Shravan has a track record that shows he's usually right. Last year, he did the same thing with the Gingerbread release, accurately predicting more than could be a good guess, and just last month he told everyone about the OMAP chipset and Ice Cream Sandwich using them as a reference platform. When he talks, it's always worth listening, and the Nov. 17 date has already been thrown out there as the European release. If we see source code on the 17th, the 18th is going to be a very fun day for a lot of us.

No, the ICS Source Code will be made available to the public on Nov 17th. This means that Developers will be able to start working on ICS for a specific device. The advantage here is that the SGS II has a huge fan-fair also is quite open with development and has kick azz hardware, hence it will most likely be picked up for development right away with results to show soon after.

I won't lie, after reading this, I got really excited. For the past few weeks, I've been using MIUI, but once a stable ICS ROM comes out (I'm hoping/guessing CyanogenMod), I think the pure AOSP experience will be even better

Released or not ive been dam patient about ICS to come out. So dam patient that ive past my time by continuous amounts of games on my Galaxy SII!!

We've all been patient, and regardless of whether it's Nov.17th, or slightly later, ICS is coming soon, and it will be a whole new level of operating system
Personally, I've been passing the time with Shadowgun on my I9100 (thank you Chainfire3D )

Wait a minute, Google are hosting a big Android event on the 16th! Good chance that that means they'll release the source code the day after the event, or on the day (if we assume the difference in date due to time zones). This adds a lot more credibility to the idea

I am a bit concerned about the date that Samsung is going to release ICS for SGS II.

Wouldn't this still be unusable on our SGS2 unless they release a device with proper drivers for the mali400?

I hope people take notice of this instead of the same question over and over. Sure devs are looking forward to working with this source code. This is what makes android the best mobile os ever. Should imagine it wont be all that long for the roms to start trickling through.

Regarding drivers there is not going to be any big changes from 2.3.7 to 4.0. So it wont be a problem. Official drivers may be more optimized .

I Agree. I think we will see a stable build of ICS with 2.3.x drivers and a much more optimized build via Samsung.
From there, the fun begins of Custom Roms and Great Tweaks.

I think that's a lot of wishful thinking to expect it this month, at least a stable build for us to use on a daily basis.
I think Mid DEC should be a good time for a decent build, permitting driver compatibility and the Source Code release is on the 17th.

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.)

I doubt that'll stop porting being done pretty quickly.

Can't wait for a rom to be available for the amaze!

Hope to see something cool for the Atrix 4G. Probably won't happen any time soon, but a man can dream.

Can not wait till it finds it way to my device.

Surely this will reach the Galaxy S2 before the end of the year? Have an upgrade due next month and as much as I want ICS I can't justify upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus as it's just not good enough, so think I'll wait for S3 and hope that Cyanogen ports this over ASAP! Will definitely donate a nice amount to the cause.

im hoping it reaches my gs2 asap

worth the wait!
Google really seems to be embarrassed by the HC source, but glad to see that they kept to their openness promise.

I want my 2.3.5 update for my S2 and then I want ICS by jan-fep.

Can anyone familiar with the dev-scene comment on whether this will help in porting ICS to GSII ? Last I remember, the problem with SDK port was with the graphic driver (Mail400) and the source-code release for sure does not help on that front!

its about time!
let's get it on!

Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!! Xmas today!

Still waiting working on my phone

How does the development for other devices (than Galaxy Nexus) look like from this point:
1) someone said there are no "profiles" for other devices - does it mean that Google has still to release something in addition to this source to make it usable for the developers, so that they'll be able to make custom ROMs like CM for other devices?
or
2) the developers can handle it without that "profiles"?
And of course I understand the devs have to collect all device-specific code like drivers etc.
