htc jelly bean kernel source info

I emailed HTC's open source department about kernel source and this is the email I gotHTC
to me
Dear Dustin Stoker,
Hey, Dustin, thanks for contacting us about the kernal source for the One XL. In regards to this, getting that phones source code is something we are working on getting up. I know this is something that is being worked on and we don't just want to put up flawed software for the development community to use. So we want it to be as close to perfect and include the patches to previous problems we've run into as well. So, that is why that we don't really have an ETA at this point. I thank you for your patience with us in this and I hope you have a great day!
Hope it comes soon.

same typical
automated email response

Ya I figured that was the case hope it comes soon they gotta comply with linux open source laws if they released it the talented devs on hear could probably fix it before them lol

Um, if this is an official response from HTC, they have horrible spelling, grammar and sentence formation.
It also seems highly unlikely that a paid developer spelled "kernel" wrong.

Here's HTC's standard response:
Dear $YOUR_NAME
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding Kernel Source code. I know that this code is important to the development community and I will be happy to assist you with the correct information regarding this.
HTC is committed to assisting customers in getting kernel source code for HTC devices. We will release source code in accordance with any applicable open source license terms. We are working to release appropriate kernel code bases as soon as possible after device launch but we cannot guarantee the exact time frame. Other source codes, which are not required to be disclosed by the open source license terms, unfortunately cannot be disclosed by HTC as they may be proprietary to HTC or its licensor.
Please keep an eye on http://developer.htc.com for more information. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, $YOUR_NAME.

[Thread] Source code for Galaxy S Advance

Hello to all,
I am here today to ask you why the Samsung does not release the source code, have been released for the Galaxy SIII Mini which has the same processor Novator U8500 and why but we do not have anything yet, maybe it will be a topic a bit useless but if you know why do not hesitate to write
Edit. The source code are here: Source Code for GT-I9070 and GT-I9070P

I think they know about that... and I presume these are not the sources they are looking for..

Nice, but I think that devs has knowledge about this... I think that those drivers are not enough for some issues in CM-based ROMs.

They'd have probably know this before hand

Those are the kernel sources not the cpu sources. Novathor is from st ericsson and not from samsung. Samsung must relase the kernel sources because android is open source but ste is free to relase or not their cpu sources

Not to mention, the galaxy s3 mini has a novathor, but of a different series. Not U8500.

Let's Spam OSRC TEAM / Request for New Kernel Source Code for Galaxy S Advance device
Looks like we do not need a special thread to make a request the source code of the kernel, to TIM OSRC samsung, because there is already a thread that has been recommended by the engine of this forum when I was trying to make a new thread. Perhaps you can do to participate as well. Here ....!!!
And also you can report the latest results of our efforts in this thread too, I guess. Hopefully it can become a reality.
Regards.

It's a great idea to spam Sammy in request for the newest sources...sinces they have had the chance to update the kernel recently (compiled in January, released in Jule almost August?? sounds fishy...) They maybe know something we don't...maybe theres official kitkat after all...hell maybe theres Android L at the end of the tunnel, yeah i'm specula...i'm fantasizing...but i don't really see why suddenly update a device that is EOL since 4.1.2, 2 years ago.
We have the sources the user from china uploaded here on new year's eve but i thing no one has used them...or has used them to rewrite their own from scratch....so maybe new sources directly from samsung is both legally and perfomance wise for our phone.
Novafusion guys (maclaw) started spam sammy with an "example" message, and apparently it worked...i don't know if they have something new but they got a letter from sammy saying they would update sources.
I think the best way would be that...create a message that we just C&P spammin Sammy OSRC till they release something, but then again, just my 2 cents.

I think that we need NovaThor sources (ST Ericsson), and they does not exist anymore.

I am aware of that also, problem is, who can we ask for sources...best case scenario Sammy releases their ST sources, but theres the legal barrier that altough neither Ericcson nor STMicroelectronics are taking liability of both the sources and the R&D invested, Novathor and all things related are now a STMicroelectronics product...and they are having a hard time.
From my PPOV, STM is gonna keed everything closed, use it later to make a new plataform (i think theyre with NEC now or some Chinese subsidiary in a joint venture), i really don't know if after a time of not using the plataform or by being cancelled they have to legally open their sources...or if theres a "expiration date" on them.
Since Sammy uses Novathor in 3 or 4 phones and Sony used it in almost all their phones in 2012(?) we are left with whats being already used.
I don't have any knowledge about the content of the leaked sources from the Xperia forum that the guy from China uploaded but i thought for a while they were just as good as our devs had already built isn't?

Not sure that STMicroelectronics cares much about Android anymore, other competitors didn't won anything from competing against Qualcomm and Samsung (with the Exynos), because they haven't done any major advances in performance or power consumption, also, Google strongly favors Qualcomm CPUs, they even use them on their Nexus devices for the most part (except Nexus 7 I think, because it uses NVIDIA Tegra, if I remember correctly), hope you remember Texas Instruments, big player, choosed to part ways with Android and most of their ARM stuff.
I wrote this on the other thread requesting kernel source. Unless Samsung has the igloo 3.4 kernel converted/hacked to work on janice (which was a rumor when we heard that was preparing a 4.2/4.3 OTA) hidden somewhere in Korea and they release that, not sure anything they could release would made a major impact on performance or battery duration.
What we are missing? Hm, a proper RIL (that is not the one I made, but should work with most Samsung libril.so's), and maybe some access to the Samsung Secondary bootloader (they won't release that even if they were drunk and on drugs)

Hey guys, it seems our efforts succeed.

I do not think so. I have noticed before, that the source code from the list of site pages OSRC there are only 20 sources for variant GT-I9070. And with the addition of a new source code told by them yesterday via email, the list has now become 21 source code.

Hmmm ... I guess you could ask them something more specific, perhaps my friends. If I see from their reply, it seems not so clear about what you mean from the email you send to them.
But, if what you ask is the same as what I or other users who ask here before as well, I think you can ignore the reply from their email.

So does this means a new kernal can be compiled for our device just like S3 mini???

But what kind of kernel does s3 mini have?! Isn't it just a 3.0.x kernel built from Samsung sources??

It will be merged with CM11 Sourch like what said by frapeti

@TPD-21 Since we have received new source code for our device , is there any development going on using these new sources

Guys, before I answer your questions and refer to those concerned about the (current) of course. There are some things we have to think about it together. namely:
1. Our developers for now almost many are turning to other devices. It was miserable.
2 Only a few people (or more) that has a device janice from the developers had in this forum.
3 For this moment (maybe) we will still get a ROM update for Janice (Either Codina), but it was developed without a device (Surely "Janice experiment") is supposed by the developer. This is ironic. You can imagine how a carpenter make a house without equipment repairman? It was impossible guys!.
4 Related to your question above, then that should answer that, perhaps @Rox or @Paul L.
5. Honestly I will feel less excited again for a peek every thread of this forum, immediately after hearing the news that uncomfortable. Sorry for that. :angel:
Oh, yes, don't forget to always hope for the good of Janice. Because I've always believed in the magic of his.

Who still belives in Honor ?? Only me, or??

Now I would like to say some things about what happend
I was trying to say to people what had been said to me
And I knew things will happen..not just the giveaway but the updates and so on.. bla bla bla:silly::silly:
But since than I was not posting anything couse some of the guys here tried to insult me instead
Called me to stop spamming and stop saying things that are ''unofficial''
They said it all over the place.. like ''oh, you again'' ''stop with this''
Now I want to ask who else did not lose the belive in Honor??
Who thinks that Honor now will be doing what thay had said in the partnership??:good:
And please I know those guys so you should not come over here and say you did
and belived all to the end..:silly::silly:
You in the first place called me lying:silly::silly:
Sooo, khmm??

But that still can be fixed by doing what thay said they will do and respecting the partnership

That's amazing, I hope honor will deliver more

[facepalm]...

At least we know honor cares

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly did Huawei/Honor deliver?

Kernel source code

Honor 8 Pro was just released, and the sourcesnare scheduled to be released just this month. That is a good sign. I hope they continue it that way in order for development to grow in a pace that we, power users and developers want.

posting news about the soak test is not confidential or illegal, however extracting the update, releasing pics and generally talking about it in public with people who are not in the test IS illegal

im in the MFN program, that doesn't necessary mean im a soak tester, they're chosen by random, and since the soak test finished a year ago and motorola finished rolling out the update, im at liberty to say whether i was in the test or not, adding to that, im G4+ user not Z, so if there's an Oreo soak test for the G4+ it would be around Jan-Feb even maybe Apr

Get Mi A1 Kernel Sources with Francisco Franco's help!

In @franciscofranco 's tweet today he's gone after Xiaomi and Google full swing! AndroidPolice followed suite and released an article on the lack of sources for our device.
So I'm thinking this is prime time to extract some sources.
What I suggest is everyone tag Xiaomi and google in a reply to his tweet, and retweet + like all his tweets. We can put a lot of pressure!
Links:
His tweet: https://twitter.com/franciscof_1990/status/953390057892835329

Why did you think it was a good idea to post another thread for the same topic?

Xiaomi just jerking us I feel like a fool to buy that phone better I brought moto g5s+

done supporting him. hopefully the source code will be release soon
