Android 3.0 SDK to be released next week.

This may be old news but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways. From what I've read the Android 3.0 gingerbread SDK is supposedly to be released next week. I'm not really a developer of Android applications as of right now but it still seemed note worthy.

3.0 is gingerbread. I suspect your source is wrong.

I wasn't thinking straight.

Thats cool, because now we should see all new features?
Or it isnt the final Gingerbread SDK?

Cool!
What's your source on this?

It may be true. Gingerbread final is promised at the end of the year, so a beta SDK will probably pop up somewhere soon. Google's goal is to have as many apps ready to be installed as possible.

Does any one know if the epic will be updated to 2.3 or any rumors. About that?

Kind of the wrong section of the forum to ask, but doubtful none the less. Most phones only get one legit update.

[INQ] KERNEL/BLN for Froyo

Not sure if the kernel source has even been made available to the awesome devs we have while I was considering/searching for BNL for froyo.
Has the kernel been made available and if so has anyone looked at what it would take to implement BLN?
If not, whatever, I can wait a little longer.... and if Samsung has their way.... 2 years till my contract ends.

The source likely won't be released until the update is official and pushed out

There is a post in dev section about kernel source being built for the fascinate from the i9000 source. It is alpha at the moment.

I don't see an official source being released until months after the OTA.
I did see that the i9000 alpha was release yesterday or the day before. While I don't understand all of what was said the basic principle is that there are problems with the video drivers and/or modules.
Worth a shot to ask though since I am not sure if BLN is baked in or is a loadable module?

It is baked into the kernel drivers for the touchkeys. Until SirGatez/birdman/someone get the i9000 source working, there can't really be any modifications done that require modifications to kernel source. The only other option would be Samsung releasing the source that we need, but that is likely not going to happen first, and will probably be about a month or so after the release of Froyo is official.

Well I guess that answers that. Certainly wish them the best of luck within the i9000 source. Now off to hate/bash the samsung representative fellow lurking around.

ICS Nexus S 4G full working

Fully Stable ICS​I would just like to let you guys know (If you havent been in General Lately.) that some devs at Androidcentral are working on an ICS rom built from SDK
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...127806-read-only-memory-ics-sdk-port-wip.html
Flash this afterwards so you get Root, Proper fonts and lockscreen fixes.
Also, some goodies:
http://tylerwatt12.com/XDA/ics/gallery/
Build 1A below, current build is build 2B see forum for download link
New version
What works:
WiFi
SD Card
Touchscreen
Hardware Acceleration(most)
Camera (After first FC)
Home, search and back buttons (not menu button)
Headphone and ext spk. sound
3G Text, MMS
What doesn't:
(Some ICS lib's had to be replace with GB lib's. So it's not exactly a clone of the SDK build (still great work though)
NFC no worky
I'm being told Calls dont work
Tap to share
some ICS features are left out.
Ill explain things a bit better here:
With any android release (Not including Honeycomb) the software release goes as follows:
Android develops the Android Version
A PR is made on the subject usually including a new device that will run the software
Between the announcement and release of the phone the SDK is released for that new version of Android
A Dev takes apart the SDK version of the rom and starts porting things over.
SDK builds don't usually work as an every-day phone, just something to play around with.
Sometime after the phone is released Source Code for the Android Version is released in which dev's will be able to make awesome ROM's that work well
(Fastest source release to rom build is about 1 hour) So you can expect that after Source is released Dev's will get a working ROM within hours.
... Weeks/Months Later..
Samsung releases ROM's to Carriers for OTA Updates.
Correct me if i'm wrong in any part here guys

Hey, just wanted to clarify, the ROM is not built from source but ported from the released 4.0 SDK.

I read earlier that its a sdk port and not source code. Is there a quick explanation regarding the difference between the two.

Source code is just that, source. The actual source used to compile android. The android SDK is a tool released for emulators allowing you to emulate the os on your computer, for example. These ports are ported from that emulator while roms you see around here are built from source for your device.

looks like the thread may have been shut down, or maybe thats just my account on android central since i joined since the ICS port a few days ago?
please let me know if its just me or everyone.
thanks to beezy over there tho hes putting up some serious time n effort!

Back up and running but still with the 1 bravo verstion

I've used it and it's okay and a little fun. You'll quickly go back to whatever you were running before. But ROM or not, you'll want to have the official update if you own a Nexus device anyways.

As cool as these ports are, they'll never have full use out of them being a SDK. I wish the launch of IC was sooner as far as updating. Waiting until the 10th for the Galaxy Nexus to come out was a little bit of a wait. A week or two after it was announced would have been reasonable.

In order to get touchscreen working you guys need an own .idc file in /usr/idc that is calibrated to the device.

for those looking for news, he said he has the touch working and will be opsting an update soon that has working touch.
and for this first (and soon to be old) release, it still thinks its working as an emulator on a computer. thats why 2 fingers is clicking and one finger is just tracking kinda like a mouse.
and keep it to the NS4g tho for convo, other threads are popping up like crzy for phones.
thanks and hope i helped for the news =D

I believe it was said that jb code is very similar to ics. Cm9 is very close for us. A stable cm9 to cm10 would probably be faster than cm10 built from scratch. Just a guess though, I'm not a dev.

Nah I mean working off of CM9 would make sense if they could just merge the changes but I doubt it would officially be released just for them to release CM10 after that.

We will get CM10 before CM9. All development on CM9 is being ceased after version 1.0.0. Just be patient, the source was uploaded something like 2 or 3 hours ago.

Joke? don't underestimate the developers on THIS phone, of all phones ) I'm gonna definatelly keep an eye on these forums. if nothing else i expect someone starting a WIP thread, an AOSP built rom, most likely not fully functional ofcourse, but compiled enough to boot up, just to give us a taste while development begins in earnest
This is just what was needed to jump-start development for the SIII

I'm curious, with Verizon's S3 flashing abilities currently being limited to roms stripped of kernels, how will this affect a jellybean rom? Is the ics kernel the same as the jb kernel?

Just rambling here, no disrespect intended and none meant at all just want to learn as much as possible....ICS source has been available the whole time, why wouldn't we have seen a CM9 build if it were that simple (as to have source)? Just cause source for 4.1 is out, it is going to make it that much easier to build an AOSP rom now? Again just trying to learn I know people are pretty snappy at questions like these, lol.

Reason people are saying that we could see CM10 soon is because the CM team think the code should be able to merge right into what they have with CM9, and not break that many things. With CM7 to CM9, they had to basically do everything from the ground up again because ICS was such a huge update over GB. Now JB isn't that big of an upgrade over ICS, in a way it is, but in a way it isn't. Sorry if that sounds confusing.

That's easy to understand, and not what I'm asking... what you are saying is its easy to incorporate 4.1 to 4.0, just like it was easy to go to 2.2 to 2.3... I'm asking why is everyone so excited to get 4.1 AOSP, when we don't even have 4.0 AOSP?

I am no dev, but heres how i understand it works;
we start with an announcement of an OS, this is done generally at Google I/O or a Nexus Event, in this case was Google I/O.
On the announcement day, devs receive the SDK; Software Development Kit.
This is released to allow the devs to begin making apps that match and run on the new OS. However, aspiring rom devs then begin to build a rom off the released SDK, generally called an sdk port.
These tend to be made simply to give us an idea of how the system would work and function, and generally might boot up and have a couple working things, but major things tend not to function because the SDK is not made for that.
Then comes the Source code, this is the real deal, it is full code of the system, code that can then be compiled to produce a fully working system, or nearly fully working. Only thing that remains missing is proprietary drivers and such, these tend to be the things specific to each phone, files that would make particular chips work, particular functions, the specific phone kernel, etc. but once you have the source code, you're over 80% done as far as having the resources needed to develop a full rom. at this stage, some devs can produce a fully working, stellar rom, but it will take quite a bit more work than devs who choose to wait for the final stage
Then comes the OTA. this is where all the device-specific stuff comes to the devices, and devs have the absolute and complete freedom to produce a fully working, better than stock, experience. This is where roms flood the dev forums.
So as far as not having AOSP yet, and now this is our chance at AOSP? No, thats not why we dont have AOSP. we dont have it cause no one built it yet; the Touchwiz UX is sooo integrated in the system that untangling and taking it all out is a long and drawn out process, and theyd need to deconstruct what we currently have, take out elements of touchwiz until its all clean, all the while making sure it doesnt break anything else.
but getting the jellybean source code propels devs because now this is a new OS, a new AOSP with its own new interesting properties. and because Jelly bean is a small update compared to ICS, now that we have source code, many of the device specific stuff wont be broken by implementing jellybean code into it, therefore building a Jellybean rom is a faster path to AOSP than untangling the current ICS for Galaxy S III
Does that make sense?

AOSP in this case is talking about the actual Android Open Source Project. so it is a bunch of code. so why are we excited? we've had ICS AOSP code for nearly a year now, what we dont have is AOSP roms. building an ICS AOSP rom is much harder than building a JB Rom, and we currently have icecream sandwich on the SIII even if its touchwized, and undoing touchwiz is quite a bit of work. but Jellybean...Oh Jellybean, now we got the source, we will start getting that baby soon and it'll boost dev on these devices. make sense?

Not sure if you were trying to come off rude or not, but people are excited because its the newest update, duh. Reason being we don't have 4.0 AOSP is because the phone hasn't been out that long for the US carriers.
