Is HoneyTomb some new game?
If you mean HoneyComb then you're going to be waiting until there's something official to work from unless you want a virtually useless SDK build. As yet it's not out there.

wait will come. how long you purchased sgt. ;-)

May I suggest changing the thread title to [Bounty] Honeycomb Port? The title "Bounty" is more consistent with other bounty threads I've seen here on XDA.
Once official is released (not SDK), I have $40 for a working CDMA port.

All I gotta say is, how in the world does the nook get a honeycomb port and we're left in the dust.....wtf! Thats an ebook reader

Obvisouly a very open and easy platform to mod. Hopefully After the 2nd we will have something to work w/.

That's not true. You can get make a working rom from SDK builds, but it'll (probably) be laggy and a lot of things won't work as it should. The wonders they've done on the Nook is amazing IMHO. Hats off to them.

I will put some dollars in for this.

If someone ports honeycomb to the Galaxy tab, I will first buy a Galaxy tab immediately... and then donate to whoever did it!

I'll throw £20 into this!

Oh I've seen it. Whilst impressive, it's still a glorified tech demo. It's certainly not very useful as a full system.

Pretty sure that's basically what I said. "virtually useless" = "lot of things won't work as it should". The usual suspects of GPS and Camera will be high on that list.
If people are happy with a system with very few native apps which is slow & unstable (ala the Nook "port"), then sure, go for it. Otherwise you're still going to be waiting for AOSP to drop, (which may be later today, but I'm not holding my breath), or for an official firmware to rip apart. Then someone needs to hack the hardware-specific drivers into life on the tab, might be a piece of cake if the 2.x source is friendly with the 3.0 libraries, someone more coding-minded would need to assess that one.
I'm all for someone hacking something together to have a play with to see what it looks like, I just hope people aren't expecting a release-quality port based off an SDK "demo".

Scratch that... I bought one today haha

Ill put down $25

ill give $100

I'd give and keep giving as long as development continues, I would love a fully functional honeycomb port. To be honest I'm dying to get something as smooth and fast as cyanogen on my tab cause I hate the fact that my nexus one performs better than my tab, faster, and has more features than my tablet =\ especially since the tablet has more powerful hardware. I can't wait for honeycomb and I'd freakin subscribe if there was a donation subscription.

Dont forget to watch the live stream today from the Google event.

{Poll} First time android device

Alright guys I came from the Evo community I just have a quick poll. If you respond, respond truthfully.
1. Is this your first Android Device
2. Were you an active member of XDA before buying the iconia.
The reason I ask these questions is simple. I feel like there are to few devs as apposed to users/end users here. This poll is not meant to be offensive. Mainly trying to better the iconia development. Like if you post a question or statement and a dev asks for some information please make every effort to answer them. That is the only way we can make this development better

This is my first Android device ever! I gotta say I'm loving it . I only wish I knew how to develop stuff for it, I've have so much free time and I'd love to see some awesome stuff for this tablet come out.
And I signed up/ started reading xda once I got my Iconia, I had no real reason to before since my phone is just an old motor razr. :-[

Second Android device. Had an original Droid. Joined the forum just under two years ago. Different user name. Had a Samsung Omnia.

How do you have so much free time? Harry Potter movies are a minimum of 3 hours!!

1. This is my first Android device but I can promise that my next phone will be running Ice Cream Sandwich. When I moved to Australia in October of 2010 I got an iPhone because that was the best device on the market but now that the Sensation is around the corner I might have to cut my contract short, heh.
2. I registered at XDA after I got the Iconia. I'm definitely looking forward to developing for Honeycomb but I need someone to point me in the right direction. Which programming language would be the best? I can go from there. =)

Thank you guys so far for your participation. I still notice there are over 300 views with 10 posts. These are the things I am talking about. Is it just me or are there a lot of people just trolling or using and not giving feedback. How can we expect to make development better and make the devs not feel like they are doing everything for free. If people wont particpate. Mostly the only time I see someone post something is if something doesnt work for them. Then they post up a storm. If it worked great for them they just go on there marry way. All feedback is important you may notice something small. That we as devs may have not seen, becuase we have been looking at the computer screen for 2-3 Days. Trying to get the things to work for you. I understand that not everybody is in the position either to donate. But at least give thanks if you cannot. We all have lives and the few of us spending days to get things to work would love the feedback and support. Once again this is not to piss people off this is just to hopefully make you guys understand an outside perspective and hopefully make the iconia development soar like the evo did.

6 android phones
Iconia is my 1st tablet
been here a while

HTC Evo 1 year Sept.
A500 3 weeks.
Have known of this forum for a while & just recently started reading. A lot to learn for an old man. Trust me when I say it's all appreciated by many who don't get involved. Maybe there shy or just feel they'll just sound stupid, I know I have. I do want to say thanks though.
Bob

Thank you Asus

Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!

i agree, this is a pretty awesome device

Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !

same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

Lol Wooot

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.

I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!

Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha

lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.

Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

Amazon is sold out now but they last had the B6O revision so the next batch will probably be the same or higher. If you're going to reorder, now would be a good time.

Should I trade a Galaxy Tab 7 for a Xoom?

Someone is offering me to trade my 16GB Galaxy Tab 7 3G/Wifi + cash top of SGD$250
- 1 Year old. Warranty over.
- Physical appearance: 8/10 because of some small scratches on the side. Scratches seen on the screen are on the screen protector.
FOR
his 32GB Xoom 3G/Wifi -
- 5 months old.
- 10/10 condition. Placed in otterbox defender case worth USD 90 and Japanese screen protector worth SGD$69
Opinions? Looking at the development of Xoom, it's not really that active huh. Guys I need some opinions Thanks.

The development of the Xoom isn't that active because the Xoom gets it's updates first, and the source for Honeycomb was never released making Cyanogen-esq projects impossible. Now that ICS's has been released, along with the source, I suspect this will change. But even so, the Xoom doesn't need a huge amount beyond rooting and custom kernels, both of which are active projects.
Regarding the deal your associate wishes to make, it's a damn good one. He's after your decrepit Tab 7 in return for his Xoom, which is a far more capable device. So the only issue is if your cool with going through with a deal which will leave the other party at a disadvantage.

Uh... Do it!

That's an amazing deal...take it. There's great, stable roms for the Xoom Honeycomb OS and Android 4/Ice Cream Sandwich is in active development and is already providing a perfectly suitable daily driver (see my signature). Only camera drivers are missing--need binaries from Motorola.

Hell yeah!
I'm a galaxy tab owner aswell, and would swap the tab for the xoom anyday.
Why does he want the tab? It's a downgrade for him!

Lol. I did check. Just seems to me like the choices of roms for the xoom seems limited, well.. as compared to sgt7's.

Xoom is definitely better than a Samsung Galaxy Tab, especially considering the hideous abomination that is Touchwiz. However, I think you could find a better deal. I don't know about where you live but where I am a quick search on craigslist yielded several LNIB Xooms for less than $300.
You should be able to sell your Galaxy Tab, and then take the $250 that you were going to pay ontop of it for the trade and buy a brand new Xoom. and still have some money left over.
If you are in an area where it's not easy to find high end electronics for sale on the private market then yeah by all means go ahead with the trade...maybe try to get him down to $200 cash ontop of your Galaxy Tab.
Good luck...and BTW we have a nearly fully functional AOSP ICS rom available to us, what more could you want from our devs?

I think the reason there are few Honeycomb roms (though the ones available are very good and stable) is because Honeycomb source code was never released. It's at the end stage. But ICS is going strong!

Thanks for all the input guys. You guys are right. Having one good and stable rom is better than having many average roms. Thanks for your time guys.

They decided not to release it, because they knew devs will try to port it to smartphones and it wouldnt work well as its primarily designed for tablets.
Then ICS was to unify them therefore ICS is open source.
