Source Code Released

Hi All,
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but on Asus' website under the downloads section they have the ICS source code!
Sorry can't post the link as I have not posted enough! I can't wait to get my own TF700T now and play around. And I also can't wait to see what the experienced devs can do with this magnificent tab!

I only see the kernel source code. That is, the source code for the Linux kernel. It has already been put to use in the TWRP recovery.
ASUS are required to release that source code according to the GPL license. Android itself doesn't have that requirement, since it's licensed under the Apache license instead. Unless you show me another link, I don't think ASUS has released their Android system source code.

[Q] A little help

Hey guys,may I know "In order to make a build for your device, you will need a suitably device configuration. Often these are included within the main source download, or are obtained through a method documented by the developers of the ROM." <<<<<where can I get this?

Should be the source code, i guess.

Kernel source code?

I think so.

Where can I find proprietary binaries?

Kernel Source code can be found at www.htcdev.com
After it is released.

And the binaries are located in the source code?I'm asking all this questions because I'm in the midst of developing.And to further understand so that it would be easier for me.

I'm no kernel dev, so i can't answer more than this.

It's ok.

[DO IT] Mass Tweet for KERNEL SOURCES.

According to Jai Mani (Lead Product Manager of Xiaomi India)
"When asked about the status of kernel sources for its devices (with a specific mention of the Mi A1 from our end), Mr. Mani commented that Xiaomi’s focus is on providing quality kernel sources and not just uploaded for the sake of it (we assume he meant complying with the GPL…), like several OEMs in the lower budget market tend to do (if they release sources at all). The internal goal of the company is to release kernel sources within three months. Mr. Mani also commented that unlocking the bootloader of Xiaomi devices does not void warranty."

Welp, done.
I feel cheated tbh, does it really take this long for Xiaomi to release source for all devices?

Done! I'm yet to buy this device and I'm waiting for the source code so that we can have some custom action.
Related stuff, OP5T launched yesterday and the company released its source code within 24 hours. That's some generous stuff.

Exactly, Xiaomi should learn how things must be done.Honestly I just think they are up to something else and provide false arguments just to misguide users.I mean don't they maintain a proper Kernel tree while developing for their device.

Why did google allow an exception to Xiaomi to handle the software update themselves? If it was done by google, things would have been different. How can this be an android one device? Just because it comes with aosp rom?

Wha... ... what does it should mean? They have to release the source used to compile the kernel running on the phone...
You don't compile a kernel, release the binary THEN do a complete quality check of the sources... come on mr. Mani, stop foolin around...

Here's another one.I request all mi a1 users to join this campaign.It will benefit us only.

Here's a quora question link.Lets see what they answer

[ROM][TEST]Nexus 5X (Bullhead) HCE Always(off screen payment) Testing rom (AOSP OREO)

Hi.
I've edited android framework code to make HCE(card emulation) feature without turning the screen on.
But I have no device to test this feature because of samsung knox .
So I built a test rom for bullhead.
This rom is based on OPR5.170623.014.
And I want to get feedback about this rom
1. The off screen mobile payment (HCE) feature works well?
2. Then Please let me know the battery time is acceptable or not.
compared to AOSP.
Plus! I do not guarantee this rom is not work properly
If your device broke with my rom, I can't do anything for that

Thank you.

No offense, but I think whoever tests this may want to see the source code for whatever you changed.
In my case I wouldn't test this unless I looked at the code and then compiled it myself. Really, it's nothing personal.
The "chain of trust" of most ROMs is that you can easily reproduce the binary version that you can download elsewhere by building from the available source code instead if you wanted to.

Request Kernel Sources from Samsung

I don't know if this allowed or not, but with the official release of Oreo now rolling out it would be a good idea for people to request Sammy releases the official Kernel source for developers to crack on with AOSP. If people could do this that would be fantastic.
Instructions as follows:
1. Go to the opensource website: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=G950F (change the value to your device)
2. Click on the "inquiry" letter on the right side of the website
3. Enter your informations (Name/Email and so on), click on "inquiry type", "request for source codes"
4. Source code type: "kernel"
5. Write a message to request the
G950FXXU1CRAP Oreo source code (it's important that you mention the base)
6. Agree the terms and send it to samsung
Thanks to Mohammed in the Telegram chat for these instructions.
Let's get these sources and finally get the AOSP we deserve!

You won't get aosp from these sources, nougat sources has been out for a very long time and even then there isn't a fully functional aosp Rom.

FevaX is working on the development with some others. He was working on Lineage 14.1, but decided to hold out for 15.1 instead and Kernel sources.
We can only hope I suppose. I just think there's a lack of developers for our device in this regard but anything that will help FevaX and team would be great.

I mean I love seeing variety with roms we can flash, but like you said there just haven't been that many devs wanting to work on it. I personally won't be trying a aosp Rom if ever it comes to fruition, i would have bought a pixel phone if that was what I wanted but I know there is some sort of demand for it though so here for you guys to see a fully working release soon
