[Q] Eclipse and Samsung Captivate Open Source

Hi Forum Members,
I am trying to access the clock application that comes on the Samsung captivate. I noticed that its different than the stock clock application in the Android 2.1 source. The widget used to to type in numbers looks like its custom and not the phone widget used in the stock application. I downloaded and extracted the source but I don't see any of the custom samsung app implementations?? I also tried opening the captivate source using eclipse but there is no project file. Could someone point me in the right direction in getting a project created in eclipse using samsung source and accessing the samsung application. I am new to development on the captivate. Thanks.

The Samsung apps have not been open sourced. The things they've made open are the kernel (only the parts they had to, so even some custom stuff is not present) and the mods to the stock eclair tree that are required to build stock eclair. Look at the readme files for instructions on how to build that - there is no Eclipse project because there are no apps in the source and the method for building the kernel and stock eclair is all command line make based.
If you want to build a clock app, this isn't the level you should be working at. If you want to modify the Samsung clock itself, then you're out of luck because that is not open-sourced.

Thanks for the reply - you're right after doing some digging (and finding the README.txt) I realized that I wasn't going to find what I was looking for. Now I am currently building a stock samsung eclair build....
thanks again.

Samsung Source code KB5 version

As per my request Samsung updated the source code to the version we have currently on our phones.

What else do we need now to get cyanogen on here? lol

Get CWM working!

Sorry for being the outdated, uneducated, tool but what exactly does this mean?

I'll be honest I'm not sure... I'm not a programmer for android but I do know someone mentioned that we don't have it. So I went ahead and emailed Samsung and they actually responded. So thought I would throw it out there.

it's for devs and builders. the kernel tar is labeled kb7, actually. krylon probably had this already but still.... good lookin' out man.

So does the source code include the kernel? I want to help get the ball rolling but I need to know whats missing...

kernal is included yes

So are we trying to figure out how to "unfreeze" it?

Warning -- as Krylon points out, this appears to contain KB7 source and the device appears to be running KB5
Thanks!

HOW TO BUILD KERNEL
1. Visit http://www.codesourcery.com/, download and install Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI.
2. Extract kernel source and move into the top directory.
3. Execute 'make vibrantplus_rev00_defconfig'.
4. Execute 'make' or 'make -j<n>' where '<n>' is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.

Thanks again -- just what I was looking for -- Kernel_T959V_KB7/drivers/net/tun.c

[Source] Samsung released updated source (2.3.6)

I noticed source update1 for the i727 at opensource.samsung.com. Downloading now, I haven't had a chance to see what it contains.

Version 2.3.6

What does this means?

Not much, unless you are wanting to compile Gingerbread from source. If it contains UCLA3 updated source, it might help some of the developers of the latest ROMs to tweak their builds.

Stupid question: Do these have the actual source code in them? What I mean is that can I download this and look at the code and learn about how an Android OS works?

If you are interested in generic android source, you'd be better off going to source.android.com. The samsung source is not full android source, only source that is specific to the device.

[Q] [4.1.2] [XT925] Stock kernel source?

Is this source released by Motorola?
I have the stock setup (build 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-26) and need to recompile that kernel (harden it, mainly), but would like to keep everything else as-is, if possible.
I do not wish to upgrade to KK as I am happy with what I've got.
The Motorola mobility on github is listing KK-only kernel sources and the only other place I could find is http://sourceforge.net/projects/motoxt925.motorola/files/RAZR HD/, but my build isn't listed there so I am not sure I could use any of them builds listed there.
Any help?

OH1 kernal open source code available

Maybe I am missing something. I know we have been waiting for Samsung to release the source for the OH1 kernal files. I stumbled across this on Samsungs website. I am not a developer but it looks (to me at least) like what we have been waiting for. Could some one that knows what they are doing, check it out. The file on the bottom appears to be the OH1 open source file. Thanks.
