Check it out yall

This is just a system dump. We need source code to build for the aria. The nexus s is made by samsung not htc so it's drivers are different.

Is the source code released by..samsung? or google? or the devs?

Samsung will release the kernel source for the Nexus S. Every device has it's own specific kernel. If you go to developer.htc.com you will see source for htc devices. This isn't 2.3. The kernel boots the phone and communicates with the hardware. Google will release the source code to gingerbread which is what we need.

No that is the kernel code for the Samsung hardware. The Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) code base has not yet been released by Google.

well santa claus was a bit earlier this year and brought us the source code for ICS

yeah guys source code for ICS was released today. to bad we dont have a lot of developers and thanks to the ones who stayed with us.

And you cant post this in one of the many threads open for this exact same reason?????

Nope. Apparently He/She is a special snowflake

Thanks for the info but we will add this thread to the previous 30 threads about ICS.

This is so tiring. Another thread about worthless source code. Source code without drivers compiled for our device against ICS is worthless. Devs cannot build an ICS build that will be stable without specific drivers built for iCS and the new kernel. Until LG releases or at least leaks an ICS build for our phone, we are not going to get a stable ICS rom, despite their being AOSP source code.

i never said anything about the devs to start making rom didnt i???? now that source code is release brands like lg will start working on then since they said they would. i know htc said that ics will come to my sensation earlier 2012
and even though developers make an ics rom without the manufacture release its versio it would not work correctly because of the drivers. it will have problems with gps etc etc

Release of ICS source code is still an important development for community rom development.
We can still get a stable build by compiling ICS against Gingerbread kernel.
We have fully working drivers for Gingerbread kernel.

Yes but the cookie in Ice Cream Sandwich is not Gingerbread.

I really hope you're right. My only concern before getting this phone was that of NVIDIA providing the devs with the drivers that we need for further Android updates.

Miui to s6 with touchwiz

Hello guys is it possible to devs porting miui rom with touchwiz i think you guys understand.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app

What? Miui is based on cyanogen mod. So there is no cm with touchwiz. First let the devs create a functional cm build. This might take a while.

What?! AFAIK Official MIUIs are based on stock firmwares, CM based MIUIs come only when the stock firmware is an outdated version of Android.

No always been based on cm. Please
Correct me someone if I'm wrong but you can't base on the stock firmware since there is no source. And cm has.

The kernel. The HALs which are needed for a build of Vanilla remain a closed mystery.

Thanks for the answers
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app

The kernel source has to be released because of the GPL but everything else is closed source. That's why it is so hard to built cm for exynos chips.

Just curious as to why it was easier to build for the snapdragon of that source should ve closed as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ

I'm not sure what of the source is published but the fact that the exynos is proprietary of samsung and the snapdragon open source makes it way easier to built for a device with a snapdragon than for a device with a exynos.

First Custom ROM on Nexus 5 - Android O.

Anyone know when will be the first Custom ROM of Android O (8.0)? on Nexus 5? I ask because I want to test the new Android.

The first ROM will come out when Android O fully released in Q3 of 2017. Happy waiting.

Ok. Thanks. ;(

I think hammerhead can not run Android O, because the specifications that have no support.

aosp will be available soon also for hammerhead i think

What's up man? God, the O is just announced, dev previews are availble only for ARM64 Nexuses and pixels. No way to get it before source code is published. maybe no way to get it at all for arm32. (If android ONE smartphones get O we will also get O)

They'll get O, they've guaranteed support for 2-3 years so yeah, O update'll arrive to them.
Google IMO will support arm32 because of many devices with this architecture.

Can we build source code from a rom?

The first rom for hammerhead will be released after one or 2 weeks of official release of Android O for supported devices.

Rly? Nice!

Sir banikgames, please go to the Android O developer page and register at developer.android.com but it's not custom though.

This is not supported device. Min. Nexus 5X.

ROMs will come sometime after source is released, no eta on that though. The first ROMs will likely be buggy though, till devs have time to work out the issues.

Although doesn't seems that hammerhead will get android o.. A lots of changes were made in the kernel side which forces the devs to backport all the features to hh kernel, which will be a headache and will take forever..

Moto X Pure Nougat Kernel Source Code Released

Link is here.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-kernel-source-code-2015-moto-x-pure-edition/
Ironic that the Pure Nougat OTA update is nowhere in sight, but hopefully DEVS can use this to incorporate into their ROMS for the community.

WTH... haha...
Any idea when will custom ROMs apply this?

I'm afraid this doesn't bode too well for those waiting for the update. I'll be surprised though if there is an official update. :/ However, glad they released it now so that devs can take advantage of it.

Seems like they give up on the official update and released the source code for the dev community to do it instead...

Go home Motorola, you're drunk.

Kernel source > Official update

Will this be helpful in developing Nougat ROMs for Moto X Style too? Or Motorola has to release seperate kennel source for the style as well?

I think the article is misleading... The kernel source is for "Clark" but isn't that the Style too, and not just the Pure?

This is a good news for @invisiblek @Hashbang173

This is really good news. Doesn't say much for LG or former Motorola engineers , since they made the device.
Either way, I rather have the XDA community making an effort and seeing what they can accomplish. Thumbs up LG for releasing your latest foot print...looking forward to what XDA community can accomplish!
To all the naysayers, I'm still using my old HP Touchpad running Kit Kat. Maybe sluggish during updates, but suits my needs and if it ain't broken why fix it! Sorli...

that's leggit

So what does that mean for normal user? Could camera2 api be enabled in the future?

I'm on the Style (XT1572) and finally got the OTA today, is it updating to Nougat right now. Funny thing is that today I was about to accept a deal with my local carrier for a Mate 9 LOL...maybe I should re-consider, btw I'm in Mexico.

Interesting... Thanks for keeping us in the loop on the rollout. It's been quiet lately on the forums on whether or not the rollout was still happening.
... especially when they had released the kernel source just yesterday. I was paranoid that the rollout stopped completely due to a massive bug / issue just discovered.

No, well, probably not... The kernel source is more of interest to developers of ROM's, they can implement the code into things like LineageOS, AICP, RezRemix, etc... and remove the "hybrid" code they have that is Marshmallow and Nougat combined. In theory, it should remedy some of the issues people have on Nougat custom ROMs.

Any idea of witch costum ROM has implemented this?

Lineage. But it's an experimental build. Not daily driver material yet.

Implementing new kernel source can be tricky sometimes, give it a couple weeks, then initial builds implementing it should start rolling out... Be aware that if you have not upgraded to stock Nougat yet, this could cause more problems than it fixes since ROMs will be expecting you to have a Nougat partition table and radios...
I would expect most well maintained ROMs to have it fully implemented within 60 days.
