Honeycomb's Big Yeah Yeah Yeah... - Gen8 General

So I installed the full SDK of Honeycomb and created the first AVD with it. I noticed something nice and promising for all us Archos IT holders. The hardware RAM by default is set to 256mb. Now, I'm no expert, but that tells me that it CAN run with our 256mb devices.
Now if only we had more developers! LOL

Or less broken USB ports so devs don't have to RMA their devices

When the source for HC comes out there will be one dev more.
Before that we have no chance.
So next week the xoom will be there and then google normaly releases the code right after that.
So lets hope.

Honeycomb SDK is out!!! go go go!!!

The Beta sdk was there already.
But that is not enough, we need the Sourcecode, not the Binaries that are working in Emulator.

playing around with it a little on the emulator...at the 101's resolution full tablet HC that we're used to seeing...
at 800x480 (for the 70) it seems to revert to "phone mode"

I could've swore I just read on Google that they released the source today for Honeycomb
Edit* link= http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html

No, that's the SDK (hence the SDK in the URL for the OS.
I made the same mistake though. I thought the SDK was needed for making ROMs...I had no idea the source is used...but hey...I learned something new here!

Yes, the SDK is used by developers to build software for the specific Version.
The Sourcecode is needed to port it to a Device.

The source is normally released a couple of weeks after the first device with the OS is launched. Since the XOOM (first device to be launched with 3.0) was released today, the source should be here in a couple of weeks... what this space.

Do you not think that the warranty would be in question, I mean I take it you have installed SDE on your device? I know the warranty states that it would void the warranty if the issue is as a result of installing the SDE. Do you think they would claim that this could have caused the failure? If they did then that would be almost an admission that updating the firmware could also cause this issue. If you do RMA your device and they don't question this then let me know so then I might bother sending mine back!

Do you go by a different nickname?
Anyway, SDK or not, the main thing started this thread about what that the emulator default is 256mb RAM. Since the "rumor" that concerned most of us was that Honeycomb would require 512mb of RAM to work, thus eliminating the Archos Gen8 devices from running it, is less of an issue.
It stands to reason that if the emulator default is 256, then a device only needs 256 to run it...so...we can get us some honeycomb sans the weird little ADHD furry creature running around.

SDE shouldn't be related to the issue because I never used a different kernel, only some additional modules.

Nevermind.

The question is... once Google releases source code for Honeycomb, do we have archos drivers source to make the port? or it's closed source?

I reply myself... guess this was what I was talking about :

Psgroove for android

First of all I can't code myself..
Second I don't know if I'm allowed to ask questions here
But does anyone know if it would be possible porting psgroove to android, I'm not asking if it has been done just if it is possible.

Yeah this would be really great. I do know an iPhone version is being worked on.
I hope someone manages to do it, the phones should be more than capable of running it aslong as the software has control over the USB port. Although I think it should be possible since I've seen software to make your phone a USB host for nexus and desire.

wait for the video he is promising, also wait for others to confirm. Making an app is simple, making one that actually does what it claims is completely different.

After extensive google search I have came my personal opinion (everyone has one) that this will happen in the future. The software used to make this is open source. Since android is based off of open source somebody will be able to make this happen. I personaly am not smart enough to do this. I see a lot of sites promoting this to happen with jailbroken iphones in the "near future" more but for it to happen with android phones is very proberble as well

Guys, I seriously think this netzke guy is deceiving everyone. Normally I don't like to be in this position calling someone a liar, but his blog posts are very awkward.
http://netzke.blogspot.com/
He just posted this:
I've been working pretty hard through this. I will be taking a few hours to sleep now. Your comments may not appear for several hours because of this. I'm not sure what the rest of the team is planning to do. Chances are they will also be taking a break for a few hours.
Beta for Iphone is open now. Beta release in the next week +- 3 days.
Beta for android is still open but we will be closing it soon
$15 will get you into the beta for sure. Others may or may not be selected given the large amount of applications. So your best way in is to donate.
A video will be released within the next few days. of both the iOS port and the Android port.
Those who do donate may not receive confirmation for a while. But we will try our best.
Donate button is on the top right for those who have been asking.
Thanks for understanding that people have to sleep

I made this comment on his previous post, but he did not approve it:
Ok, I'm starting to loose my faith that you are actually doing something. Time to show some proof. In all of your posts you didn't say anything technical about your progress. What did you accomplish so far? What are your main issues right now? You've been wasting more time asking for donation than in actual development. As for your screenshots, anyone with basic Android coding skills could make an Activity with buttons triggering Toasts in less than 10 min. Where is the video you promised?
AND FOR THE REST OF YOU FOLKS:
I can't believe there so many people dumb enough to give this guy money without him actually delivering anything useful.

Market is typically disabled on all non-phone or non-3G devices by Google. That's why we have to hack a fix to make it work. Google has stated many times that they do not want marketplace on any non-phone or non-3G capable device. That might change with Android 3.0, but for now, we're stuck hacking the fix.
Ooh please let this be true. Kernel source + Froyo AOSP would make me a VERY happy camper. For that matter kernel source + TnT Lite or VEGAn would make me just as happy!

Well, that remains true as of right now.
However, barnes and noble are supposedly releasing a 2.2 + market update to their nook color in january. and for $250. that is a hell of a good deal.
I have also seen people saying they have the market and then come to find out. they didnt have it legally. but i dont thing a big wig like barnes and noble would do that.
it would seem that google is easing up on its market access. realizing that we have tablets now. and we want to fully utilize them now. not whenever 3.0 comes out.
AC had an article that the Nook won't be getting market after all, but will get 2.2.

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.

Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

The other guys app isn't fully functional neither, its still considered a beta also. The team win hdmi is free as compared to the guy orrembas(android central) has a trial. He said when his app hits the market the trial will automatically end and not work you will need to pay for it. I've used both apps and only thing the other guys has is sound(which isn't all that great cause it flickers while team wins doesn't). Good luck

Incorrect. One of the kernels to enable the HDMI app was in violation of GPL and that was pulled by the dev in order to comply with GPL rules. The app does not violate anything and neither does the stock kernel with the HDMI drivers.

Based on the Latest post it will be hitting the market pretty soon.
Still no update on if he will release the custom drivers he wrote so they can be integrated into other kernels, although I believe that the drivers aren't needed in the new version, he is able to use the App in software mode.
Hardware mode requires drivers and overclocking which is what was in violation of GPL. Last I checked neither Team win or orrebmas has realeased source code to their Kernels.
