Hope this helps in Someway

So does this mean we can expect Android 2.3 on Samsung Galaxy S now...

There's probably a whole lot of other things to do other than getting the kernel to work on the Galaxy S, I have no idea the amount of work which as to be done to get gingerbread booting on the Galaxy.
You could have posted this on one of the other threads already about the kernel sources being released instead of opening up a new thread...
ya i could...how can delete this thread or only a mod can do this
Don't know if this doesn't belong in the dev section, I didn't see a thread about it yet.
I9000 Gingerbread source is out. Get on those ROM's and reoriented kernels devs!
already posted! General forum... youre too late!
Looking forward to Xcalibrehand as well as other devs' kernels
Thread closed.

can u look at this thread and see if the thors kernel was ever present if it was fine if not can we get the thread reopened AOKP would be another good option for roms for the tablet.

Why not just go get it from rootzwiki if you want it so bad?

I'll stick to XDA. Not everyone on here has social skills to participate in forum discussions but i find that this site has much more information and the groups of people are more eager to help troubleshoot. by unlocking the thread if its not thors kernel it opens it up to ALL of xda to help.

I'm not sure how many actually remember the events relating to this earlier this year... But it was a mess.
Thor decided to start developing a ICS rom providing (presumably under apache2) the device/vender tree to the build. Just two little tidbits were, how to say, off with his approach.
a) The device tree included his kernel still without the source code (so now we have some apache2 code.. nice but not required, and its poisoned with a closed source kernel)
b) he provided links to the github repo (now deleted and/or hidden) on XDA via adfly.
After this was reported, XDA closed the thread, Thor took down the git repo and tried to pan this off to his greater followers (probably successfully) as XDA not even allowing him in when him to work here even when his code is "open".
--
While the source was open blazingwolf, ProTekk, randomblame (and some others?) managed to get the repo and clone it (or parts of it) into their own projects.. Mostly with little or no credit, and not always properly removing all traces of Thors kernel (either the main kernel was replaced with blazingwolfs open kernel, but a second copy of Thors kernel in the repo was left, or they just used thors kernel as it existed in the device tree).
In addition to this there was a recovery that used blazingwolf's kernel but otherwise was a nearly unmodified thor recovery binary (simply a hex edit to change the title, and thus hide the upstream source)
--
AOKP is now using the CM9 base for the device and vender trees, so everything including the CM9 T20 kernel is open source. However I its up to the AOKP team to re-post here at this point and not someone just wanting a mirror with their own unrelated donate link.
Some locked threads to remember in relationship to this:

Just to clear this up, roms are under Apache v2 license (which doesn't require source release) kernels are under GPL which does require source release.

sadly i do but the thread i linked is albeit messy with side stuff i made the assumption it was mod locked. after talking with the other people i have foudn out that the OP requested it be locked. i went and got the rom from AOKP website and as far as i can tell is Thor free and i run clockwork recovery and V8 ICS bootloader.
As for the motives for my request is i'd like to see more roms succeed for this tablet as it is "old" tech people are moving to the tegra 3 Tabs i am not ready to give up on my $567.87 less than year old purchase. I own the A501 ATT 4G LTE Variant i bought it from ATT without contract hence the price
Uhm... Hi paxChristos! Welcome to our slightly disfunctional family! I hope that you have a great time.:silly:

As do we all (want larger choices in roms).
But there-in lies the issue. We have an AOKP rom that has been through many hands, and at times, had some suspicious coding involved. Including getting closed on more than 1 occassion due to shady practices and non-GPL kernels. Might have been 3 seperate roms for all we know.
To post the rom now, would probably piss off quite a few people if enough credits were not given, even if the kernel proved to be legit. And even then, you would have several people claiming the rom was theirs and they were the original authors. That's the nature of these "KANG" roms and "MIUI" roms.
Well, we have polluted PaxChristo's welcome thread enough for now. I suggest we give it a rest, and probably open a new thread in the General Forum. I'll DL and install it, and see what's up with it. Post some results later.

good job

t my a500wondering where to post question about how to root my tab. Sadly it is running 3.2 honey and I am very confused as what to do to get it rooted. I am in southern Louisiana, maybe there are folks close to me that could help.
Thanks everyone don
Hey thanks for being a mod' it is a lot of work I know. Listen I am knew as I just go
Does google or samsung post the rom source for GPE devices, like google does for nexus?
I ask because I could not find any source @ google's repo for this device, yet - i see people posting that they build i9505g roms from source.
Thanks.

No. The GPE devices are not supported in AOSP. The ROMs and kernels are built by the OEMs, with support from Google. Samsung makes the GPL sections of the kernel available, but no ROM code and no binaries/drivers. As far as factory images go, those would have to be provided by Samsung and they do not provide them. I am surprised, however, that SamMobile doesn't have anything available.

BTW - i made a kernel for 4.4 roms on the m919/i9505g
dont have enough posts to post it here, but uploading source to github.
Been on it for a few days, and I like
MODS: can i post kernel in this section until I get enough posts? or do i need to wait before I post kernel?
