Pointless. XDA are .2 percent of all users, they don't give a rat's ass. We've been through this on the Epic fora.

Vendors don't release proprietary driver source code unless you are covered by an NDA. You aren't going to get it. I got Marvell to give me source code once but under an NDA and it was extremely difficult to do and took a long time. Also, since I was under an NDA it which meant I had the code but could not disclose any of it or give it to anyone else, period. Sorry, but those tweets will just be wasted key presses.

sorry, guys, nagging nvida will get you nowhere!

I'm curious as to why people imagine this might happen? Is there a precedent that h/w vendors for Android platforms have released source for drivers? Or released specs (like register maps) for hardware? Some h/w vendors don't even write drivers for h/w - that's what gives embedded C programmers like me job security (I've been involved in plenty of NDAs like mentioned above).
So what is the "norm" for the Android platform?

Maybe, Just Maybe

So you really think that after sending them the above message they are going to say what? "Sure, we know we can't code so here, take all of our hard work and make it work cause we are idiots!" You have a better chance of getting the answers from the CIA.

probably right

hey, head on over to the nvidia developer zone at the link below and post a comment, I'm never going to buy another tegra powered device until they release the HAL source for at the very least the A2DP

[SOON] Kernel Source Getting Released?

Hi guys,
I recently complained to htcdev about the kernel source not being released and I threatened legal action as they are in violation of GPL. Here is what they came back with:
Dear Rohan Mathur,
Thank you for contacting HTC. I will gladly assist you with your request for the kernel source code for your HTC One X.
New source codes are typically posted to the HTC developer site within 90-120 days after a new device is released or after an update is released for the phone. In most cases it will not take this long for the source code to be made available Rohan. The kernel source code for teh One X will be posted as soon as we have it ready for the developer community.
Please check back from time to time on the developer site for the One X source code. HTC does their best to make the kernel source code available as soon as possible for all HTC devotees and android enthusiasts. For more information and other developer resources, be sure to check other areas of our developer site from http://www.htcdev.com/ .
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause Rohan, and I hope that this will not detract from your overall use and enjoyment of the One X until the kernel source code is made available. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

I'm kind of suprised that an actual human responded to me and didn't just send me the generic answer (notice the typo of "teh" instead of "the")
Anyway, this leads me to believe that it will be soon. 30 days of those 90-120 are almost done, so lets hope that it comes soon!

I don't understand why AT&T would do that. What's in it for them to make then wait? Eventually it will be released. I mean I just can't understand who the are trying to screw but not releasing it. It can't be developers because they wouldn't want to lose sales. I'm sure they don't care who buys the phone, developer or not.

So, once the kernel source is released do we know if we'll have franciscofranco and faux123 kernels for the ATT One X just like over on the international One X side?

dont give them your sn and imei lol...

HTC is holding out as long as possible so Apple can't get their hands on it till the last second.

[IMPORTANT] [GUIDE] Getting ICS test builds from Samsung. [Community Project]

Hello guys, with your help, i think we could pressure samsung to release their ICS test builds (with RAM issues) - if they even exist in the first place.
To help, you just have to follow extremely simple steps:
STEP 1:
Enter this website..
STEP 2:
Fill all the required fields.
And insert the following in the message section (Credits to Hetalk):
Dear customer service representative
From previous conversations and official samsung updates, I understand Samsung did try to get ICS working for this device(Samsung S LCD GT-I9003).
It would be really helpful to developers, who are helping a lot of device owners, have a taste of this wonderful version of android, if samsung can help supply whatever source code they had when they tried to get ICS working for this phone.
It will also underline samsung's commitment to their customers of providing them best experience and support.
Hopefully, you will look into this and do the correct thing by supplying source codes, to make sure we stay samsung customer when we plan a new device.
Regards

Or you could be more rude (no swearing, just more aggressive), you can edit that message to suit your needs, and level of anger
STEP 3:
You'll receive an answer in about 24/48 hours.
The answer will *probably* be "We don't have plans to update the GT-I9003 to ICS.
Post the answer in this topic so we take a look at how they're reacting to the huge requests.
Now, reply to that message with the following (Credits to Hetalk):
Dear representative
Your response didn't even remotely answer my query or request.
Please read again and advise.

Here, you can also edit it to suit your needs.
STEP 4:
Wait for their answer again and post it here.
*Will update when someone reaches this step).
STEP 5:
Please share this topic with anyone that cares, upload the link in your signature, tell your friends and family!
The main key of success here is numbers, huge complaints = Samsung will probably notice us.
Good luck.

Worth a try.

We have nothing to lose. So we should try.

Less ram is just a fake reason for not providing ICS. If we observe carefully Nexus S which was produced by samsung itself has nearly same specs, same ram etc. but still it gets jellybean update officially by google. Then why not our phone...???

The problem is that ugly touchwiz.
Anyways, here's the link: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiry

As per my personal experience touch wizard takes less ram as compared to go launcher ex which I always use. But still I always get nearly 220 mb free ram for usage.
Samsung is just giving us excuses for not giving ICS.

That depends, in new valuepacks, touchwiz itself shows how bad it's optimized.
They simply don't want to waste their time with our device, so getting the things they already worked on for developers is enough i guess.

Skander1998, just copy paste your question here and whoever wants to email samsung, will send that same email thru the link.
I'll change it a bit to make sure it goes thru if they could make something that would filter the standard text out.
---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------
Email sent, albeit a fairly polite one, for a start.

Message:
According to Samsung the device won't receive an ICS update because of RAM issues, but did samsung even develop a working (or partially working) ICS build to find out the RAM issues in the first place ?
If so is there any possibilities for making those source codes open source for download?
Developers in XDA are currently porting CM9 to this device, and those sources (If even available) might be helpful to finally get a working ICS custom ROM.
I do understand that it's not Samsung's job to help with such stuff, but if the work is there sharing it would be helpful.
You can refer to this thread for the development topic on XDA:

Actually they have wasted so much time to give updates from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 firmware update. Actually they just dont want to work on building kernel 3.x on OPAM 3630 chipset which they have rarely used for android devices. Anyway I have mailed them. I dont know how to mail in correct manner but I have used little rude language so that they should understand how much people are frustrated with samsung attitude.

Used Hetalk's version. Lets get more people to do this!

Have typed the letter in the above link...but how do i send?? Do i need to sign up??

Dear customer,
Thank you for your interest in our product.
There is no plan to ICS update for GT-I9003. Because of RAM issue, we release 'Value Pack' version instead of ICS.

Hi all....I just saw this post

I remember our devs talking that the s5p6442 datasheets not being available on the net, which is really slowing the dev work.
In line with the above link, can we start a similar campaign to ask samsung to release the required datasheets??

[issue]teamcanjica stolen maclaw source true or false?

Due to stolen by TeamCanjica sources, we had to open our stolen sources.
Please, hate on them. They have broken law. I understand everything, but stealing sources is most last thing I would ever think about.
And say also “thanks” to thehacka1, who gave them access to our sources.
You’re reported everywhere. Better remove our sources right now.
Our sources will be published as soon as these bastards will get what they deserve.
Funny behaviour – you cannot do something yourself, then you stole it.

thehacka1 had DDos to server of Maclaw to steal source i think it's a bad job. And about Maclaw Studio is say them will public source when it is clean
Marcin says:
As you can see, it's not well-organised yet and we just wanted to improve some things before public release, why we haven't done this yet? We have a private life, school, work etc. but unfortunely mr. thehacka must have destroyed our plans and leaked the current version which probably won't even work by the way.
I'm not even angry anymore, I'm just sad because community is doing everything to destroy our trust in them. Leaking WIP and DDoSing our servers? Seems like fun.

Yes okay but we can share what we feel about this, cause this could massively affect development of the ace 2. If you don't like sharing then you don't have to look at this thread
Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Basically, from what I know, TC and TheHacka1 "stole" some sources (not really the right word).
Put it this way, Maclaw took open sources, tweeked them and then made them closed sources so TC couldn't get to them. Which as far as I am aware, that's against the law as android is an open source project.
So basically, to put it simply, it was Maclaws fault.
EDIT: Stole is the wrong word. According to Rox, a member of Maclaws team let them into his website.
