Samsung lists devices to get ICS.

While obviously our device isn't listed, will an official build from Sammy help our developers?

The answer to that will always be yes. Official builds help port things like CM, AOKP, and other variants.

yes do to the fact even if we cant use the source (which actually google source is about oh 4000x better.)
The proprietary drivers is what we would after.

Read the ReadMe text file.. #4 shows how to build a kernel - I think - this stuff is beyond me though...
And this is all for ME865...
Sent from my mind using XDA

This is just the Opensource motorola portions of the kernel for the ME865 (international version of the Atrix2), not the WHOLE opensource kernel, this will need to be merged with the google portions, to compile a full kernel.
Besides, we are already running this. Why not try our hands at AOSP kernels such as cyanogenmod, or AOKP, or something else.... we already have the motorola crippled kernel.... LOL...

why have they released the me865 but not mb865 source? I thought they were required to by licensing stuff, since the linux kernel is open source.

That is the catch, they get away with it, since the two phones are identical minus a few things for the mb865 since it is att&t specific.
They (motorola) can say that they released the source code, that was open, and claim that the AT&T specific parts are propietary, and then they will not release those parts, and so, the me865 will work on the mb865, minus the radio, and the audio. So.... it is all a game of what is really "open"

This is why I hate motorola, google at least has enough sense to keep things open even though they did not start the project. just like chrome, android was previously just an open source project that google took on. at least companies like htc are allowing the bootloader to be unlocked completely legally. I just did it for a family member, it voids your warranty, but so what, that is normally only a month anyways

Wiki says it's optimizing source for many aspects of the software on linux devices. And I googled an saw that some devices already have roms running on linaro codes... Just curious as to if our devs were aware and if it would be coming to us soon...

Nexx and nk111 are aware about this, code is being committed to CM9 repositories and would be available to all devices after review

I'm not trying to mock you or anything... Chill.
Yeah, but no Desire S ROMs have it yet,
You should know if you check the Android Development forum... It's the only place we have ROMs...

Ice cold sandwich has the feature...i am currently using it and it is sooper smooth...

Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502508&page=175 , it has Linaro based ROM. It's blazingly fast (I checked it) but mic was not working and Instagram was causing phone to reboot.

AT&T 2.20 Kernel Source Available

The kernel source code for the 2.20 AT&T update is finally available on htcdev. I know this doesn't change much, this is just more of a heads up for those who were waiting.

it does change a lot! thats the 4.0.4 source we were waiting for if I am not mistaken

This will help in fixing that LTE bug in CM10/AOKP JB I believe

And freeing up the extra RAM that this kernel unlocks

It's about time

Took long enough, lol. It will be nice to see development take off again!

Would kernel source possibly help find any exploits for root on 2.20?

no camera drivers that I can see.
hurrah for incomplete source!

They gave us the source. But if we mod/fix it, it won't work on our phones correct? Or did they unlock the bootloader?

those of us with Root and unlocked bootloaders can use custom kernels.

Does not matter anymore. They are using the open source HAL. Mostly all the issues with the camera are gone. Only bust mode is outstanding.
The special functionality with the chip set will be missed though...

It only matters for the sake of argument. I'm glad aosp camera is despite the lack of drivers.

Wait so custom kernels for 4.0.4!?!??!?!?!?!

I guess I just don't understand why they would give us the source if we can't legitimately use it. Everyone who is rooted/unlocked did it without HTC's consent. Are we supposed to find bugs (without testing?) then submit them to HTC so they can place them in the latest update? Essentially doing the work of their developers?

By law they are required to provide kernel source.

I really hope the devs really work on this and poop out a lot of new stuff.. the forum been kind of drury recently. When 4.0.3 was released it seemed as though every jizzed themselves twice. But I didn't see too many things available? My first android so I don't know how these things work. Is it because these devs are so badass they don't need source as much as they thought? Lol

I'm currently pushing the source to github for your forking pleasure.

My understanding is that by the time the previous kernel source was released, it was already outdated as roms were being built on 4.0.4 instead of 4.0.3. With this, we're up to date at least until 4.1 drops.

It means we'll be able to have kernels built specifically for our device.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Exactly what he said!^^^…it means no more trying to force fixes into kernels...possibly fix screen flickers in AOSP Roms without checking disable hw overlays on every reboot... Being able to make oc/uc settings stick better and possibly get more of the S3s stock features ported into AOSP Roms... In general it means greater possibilities for all future S3 development!

I was wondering why there were so few kernels.

I'm pretty new to all this. Can we use this to compile and install?
