Froyo has hit AOSP master and froyo branches along with device projects for dream, sapphire, passion, etc.
Just sayin...
Can't wait until the devs get their hands on it and put something together I'm excited about the application auto-update feature for the Market!
Question is does that indicate att is going release there froyo update for thee aria? Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
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

hey hd 2 users honeycomb has been ported to nexus one now it seems that its time for hd2 to get the taste of honeycomb as both nearly have same specs.
what u say
check link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961994
Even if it was ported, its still pretty much useless. Nothing works on it. Waste of time
as long as they are using an SDK port it's going to run like ****, as soon as the source code drops though, it's going to be sweet!
yes true its the sdk version but read somewhere that android developers have confirmed that there will be a honeycomb version for our end phone and thats not the 2.4 ice cream
This will be awesome, I cant wait for 3.0 source to be released

no confirmation on the date though it is not far that honeycomb will be ported to our phone for sure
Why don´t we have custom roms yet??
Wasn´t the source code dropped already??
When was the source dropped?
This is the last news we had:

Since you think it dropped already go ahead and make one
What's the time frame they have to release the HC Source Code? Don't they HAVE to release it?
The Honeycomb sources will never be released. Google announced that at Google IO a few weeks ago, they will only release source code for Icecream Sandwich, which will unify phone (2.x) and Tablet (3.x) Android.
The reason they gave is Honeycomb is a hacked together version kinda rushed out for tablets, and they don't want anyone to see what a mess it is. (ok, that is my interpretation, their actual explanation is "this isn't a proper Android release as we took shortcuts to get it shipped ASAP for tablets, and we don't want devs to rely on these").

So is it for sure that we are not having custom roms for honeycomb 3.0 or 3.1? I remember someone (i believe it was bigrushdog) saying that the custom roms were just around the corner....and that was 1 month ago....
I believe some people were able to make some kind of homebrew ROMs based on the SDK. How that works exactly I don't know, someone with better Android technical knowledge than me might know.

They were able to port for other devices. But ports usually aren't the most stable things around - also no need for us to port...we have HC. We can't deodex and zip align without source. So anything a dev could do right now would be limited to some minor themeing.
You will never see a Honeycomb based custom rom (other then crappy reverse engineered SDK ones) because Google's not going to release 3.0 or 3.1 source code... You're gunna have to wait till Ice Cream Sandwich in Q4 to see any AOSP based ROMs (like CyanogenMod)
A better question might be if by the end of the year the Xoom will be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich?

Seeing as how Google said they will require manufacturers to support their devices for 18 months if they wish to use Android on their products at I/O this year, I'd assume so.

And if Motorola does't... Source code will be available then for homebrew Icecream Sandwich if needed.

Sprint/Samsung better not leave us hanging, dammit.
Anyone see if Samsung released the source to see if it contains Epic/Victory code?
Looks like the source is on https://opensource.samsung.com/ SPH-I500 EH09
