Possible REAL ICS port for TB in the works?

Was combing through the RootzWiki TB forums this am and came across this thread. From what I can tell it seems to be a legit WIP. If someone can actually CONFIRM this, it'd be appreciated. As its coming from RW, I'm tending to believe it. If its false, sorry in advance for posting false info. Blame it on me not having enough coffee. Working in good faith here.

Thought it delt with development, that's why I posted it here. If it is, a mod can move it. No harm no foul

Development is for actual development. Questions and General are for questions about development.

Yes confirmed. There are two people working on it. Don't expect a working Rom until source is really by Google to the AOSP

That'd be crazy to expect a working port this early in the game. Either way its great news and a step in the right direction. Thanks for confirming this for me.

There already is a real ICS WIP under the general section. Twistedumbrella has taken the reigns on the project that is on rootzwiki

if you are refering to a update to ICS from HTC then yes according to this aricle HTC does plan on giving the T-bolt an ICS upgrade.

Correct, it's just the app you can get from the Market. It's been around for a while. The portal did an article on it a few months ago. Been meaning to give it a shot, just haven't gotten around to it.

Yeah, not what I was looking for, this thing is wicked for those who don't have PC. Not necessary a vaporware but not ready for prime time. Thank you anyway.

Only reason I say vaporware is because it was announced in February and nothing has come of it since.
We are working to get my project to work like ubuntu's but with the dual core requirement etc. But we are working on native graphics etc etc but who knows they may release something soon

Android isn't fully open-source

Let me start off by saying, I love Android, and shall forever remain loyal to it.
Now, every single version of Android has been open-source, and free to all. This has allowed Android to grow in succession and recognition.
Though this may be, one version of Android will forever remain locked away, Honeycomb. For this reason, Android will never be truly open-source.
No flaming needed, just an observation.

Honeycomb source was released alongside ICS.

And to backup my claim:
In early 2011, Google chose to
temporarily withhold the Android
source code to the tablet-only
Honeycomb release, the reason,
according to Andy Rubin in an official
Android blog post, was because
Honeycomb was rushed for
production of the Motorola Xoom,
[132] and they did not want third
parties creating a "really bad user
experience" by attempting to put
onto smartphones a version of
Android intended for tablets. [133]
The source code was once again
made available in November 2011
with the release of Android 4.0. [134]

How does it matter what device someone uses to reply if their information is correct?
Unless we are assuming that because apple mislead people sometimes that their devices must do the same.
Just seems an odd response to a factual reply.

I was mis attributing posts, sorry. I was referring to the poster who said it was released. For some reason I also thought they had the ipad.
But it's still odd to criticise a persons post based solely on their choice of os, which was what I meant.

I believe you are mistaken my friend. Honeycomb source code was technically released with ICS as it was built from Honeycomb. Google never made a separate Honeycomb source code release.
Side note- Yes, I have an iPad, but it was a gift. Would I love to have a Transformer or Nexus tablet? Yes, but why spend money when I have something that already works.

It doesn't matter how the code was released, you aren't someone who gets to say "Well because honeycomb source code wasn't released on it's own it doesn't count!". You're splitting hairs just to argue.

I'm not trying to argue. Google never tagged the releases for Honeycomb. It was officially never released, unlike every other version of Android. If ICS wasn't built off of Honeycomb, it would have never been "released".
You say it got release, doesn't matter the manner.
I say it didn't, because it wasn't an official release and the code was never tagged.
We're never going to agree.

What is the point of this thread? Android is open source, and who cares when/how honeycomb was released, and last time I checked iOS was about as open source as Fort Knox, so why make idiotic complaints about Android that aren't even true while posting from the most locked down device in history?

WP8 on SGS3

So, if i could get a Ativ dump or some other things from it, is there any chance a dev could port WP8 to the GS3? Knowing they have identitical hardware it doesnt seem impossible, but i have absolutely no idea for sure.

Maybe , id love to get a hands on a dump , to see what would be needed

to each their own, i hate windows phone and that metro UI. id rather see an open webos port.

I hate windows 8 on desktops/laptops and don't particularly care for it on phones but I have to admit I would love to see it ported to pur phones so we could mess around with it! I would live a webos port too, but I think windows 8 would be a little neater.

Windows Phone COULD be awesome... if they could get all the apps that Android & iPhone have...
I really like Windows Phone but the apps really keep me from staying. I had a Dell Venue Pro (Best Windows Phone yet, IMO) but couldn't live without my apps!!

Windows being closed source I am guessing they can sue if it were to run on another phone.

Jelly Bean is better anyway...

I would think a port from the Ativ Odyssey for Verizon would be the best bet. (It's supposedly the same thing as the Ativ S but for Verizon).

Wp8 closed source? Mhmmmm ..... porting will be difficult. Can it be done? I doubt it. Can I be proved wrong? Of course.

That would probably be the hardest project ever. I thought they were extremely closed source. Like it's hard to even hack it the phones themselves.

Ok, guys, it won't happen. If you have the skill to do it yourself, for yourself only good. As soon as you post it to these forums, you will probably be banned, probably get a c&d from Microsoft, and possibly a lawsuit. You best bet is having a mod close this thread right now.

Just because it's not open sourced doesn't mean it can't be hacked. Apple is a perfect example of that.
It's just a matter of developers actually wanting to hack it. I don't see us reaping any benefit from it other then getting to toy around with it for a few minutes..

It is proprietary, it is copyright infringement, it will not be distributed on xda. And lawsuits are probable

The fact that no one has been able to even "jailbreak" a Windows phone makes me think this is highly unlikely. And the token system of unlocking they had does not count. That wasn't actually a hack.

Why there are two Windows phone forum on home page?

Wp8 is just a successor of wp7, why are there two separate forums? Will there be a third wp forum when wp9 comes out?
Why aren't there separate forum for Android 2, 3 and 4?

Becouse there isn't seperate threads for windows phone so they just out it in is catagorys
