Not sure if it will help the devs, but the Droid Eris source code for the kernel was released. The size of the deliverable looks to be much larger than the Hero. But it could have been just packaged differently.

Where do you see this?
Modders and ROM developers are about to bury themselves in source code today and will chug six packs of Red Bull to stay up late into the night hacking away. HTC has released their valuable Android 2.2 source code for the EVO 4G, DROID Incredible, Aria, and Wildfire today allowing programmers and enthusiasts to get their hands dirty with code.
This is a pretty standard thing, as the Android operating system is open source and anything developed in conjunction with it has to be made available to the public. What’s funny about this release of code is that HTC has basically preempted all carriers except for Sprint as the Aria, Incredible, and Wildfire have yet to see the “official” release of Android 2.2. This confirms that it is the carriers that have slowed down the upgrade process on their devices making options like rooting and modding so popular. Even with the slow down, this release shows that the carriers are getting ready for the “official” releases.
The release of the Android 2.2 source for HTC devices is going to prove to be an awesome edition to what modders have already gained from earlier ROM leaks. So, keep your eyes out for some new ROMs over at xda-developers and other modding sites as it is about to get crazy out there!

i saw this a while back...i was curious when we would start seeing some mods made from this...i wish i had the know how to develop this stuff id be all over it...perhaps someone on here is and there almost finished with it...i running the cm6 rom and its sweet just wish there was a better oc kernel that worked well with it
HTC has not and does not release "source code" for any of their ROMs, only the kernel sources which they are required to release. So far, kernel source released for the Aria is still behind the kernel source released for the Snapdragon processors that HTC used in it's 2.2 builds. Nothing new has been posted for the Aria for a while.
Ahe... I see not really much of a code monkey ..but i got you

Hi guys,
I'm new to the whole android scene but not linux, and I was wondering, are devs always going to have to wait for Samsung to post their kernel source before they can build updated versions of Android to the Fascinate? I got this phone largely because people told me that once Motorola stops supporting the Droid X, it will be stuck, whereas with the Fascinate the community can build updated versions of the OS. But clearly that isn't the case right now. Is this just because devs don't want to waste their time when it's supposedly coming any day now, or is it technically too hard for them to do? Once CyanogenMod is ported, will we be set for the life of our phones, or will we keep having to wait for Samsung's kernel patches to be released? I would really appreciate any answers I can get. Thanks!
I think the devs cant really do anything new to their roms until cyanogenmod is ported to the fascinate. However, since cyangenmod is based on 2.2, fascinate is stock until 2.2 is leaked our released. I think the devs are just waiting for dj05 to be released right now, unless 2.2 magically appears.

I do not agree with you as my G1 was stuck at 1.6 when Cyanogen built 2.0, then 2.1, then 2.2 for it...
I do believe that the developers can take it to 2.2 and further... However, one of the issues is that Samsung gives us open source code that is flawed or does not compile at all.
Mmmmmmmmmmm
They are attempting to get us better ROMs and such, but Samsung's source and crappy RIL are causing issues with doing so. I have faith that they will get us something great here at some point though.

Wow! We've seen claims along these lines before, I think, but this one seems to be for real - it links directly to the HTC website.
EDIT: And curiously, it's a Froyo build, something which many of us never thought we'd see for the Aria from any official channel.

That is just the kernel source code. It takes more than that to make a Froyo 2.2 ROM that you can put on your Aria.
The Froyo 2.2 ROM for the Aria has been available since December for all non-branded Arias around the world. Once a ROM has been released, HTC (or any vendor really) is obligated by Open Source licensing to release any source code that falls under that policy. Since Android is based on Linux, that means certain portions of an Android device fall under this policy, namely the kernel. HTC Sense UI does not fall under this category.
So basically it took HTC 2 months to release the kernel source code for a ROM that's been available since December.

I know. I'm hoping Xmas comes early with some custom GB Sense kernels.
Here's to hoping
Will this really help us? I mean, I know our phone is similar to the Evo and all but it's not like we were good to go with gingersense roms when the Evo gingerbread leak hit. We still needed to wait for our own leak before we could get those booting.

Announcing the new Motorola Webtop source project
by Peter Matsimanis 5 days ago
Motorola is pleased to announce a dedicated source project for Motorola Webtop.
Webtop is shipping in some of Motorola's new 4G Phones including Atrix and Photon.
Please find the initial releases for the following 2 releases:
WT-1.2.0-110 - Which coincides with Atrix GP upgrade to 4.5.91
WT-1.2.0-135 - Which coincides with initial Photon 4G release 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154
well this could make things very interesting
indeed very interesting.
i suspect this should get more attention.
Should make it easier to port into CM7
Doesnt mean anything yet. Let us see if moto follows through on this. And we need hdmi mirroring motorola. Now. Yesterday.
I voided my warranty.
any work yet?
I've posted in the photon thread, but I have an Atrix, (love it) but I have not seen much if any work done with the source code released by motorola :
sourceforge(dot)net/motorola/motorola-webtop/home/Home/
sourceforge(dot)net/projects/motorola-webtop.motorola/files/
they have all the way up to 2.0.0 from the droid razr. I'm surprised no one has made a ubuntu repository of these packages (after building them of course) and made it available to update our webtops.
