how do we find out how development is going? - Vega General

Hi I'm running a vega with vegacomb 1.5.2 - quality stuff - but obviously needs work - how do we find out how things are going and when we might get a new update?! And yes, I am impatient but Honeycomb is a thing of beauty.

keep checking the forum Vega Android Development section!

I guess there will be a github somewhere as it's opensource?

[REQ] THINK TANK Honeycomb ROM

Honeycomb has been ported to the Desire HD! Proof and download link below!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959324
Is there any chance a dev could port this rom over for the Nexus S, not looking for it to be fully functional but would be good to play around with!

It should be, other DEV sections have [REQ] [THINK TANK]
Devs dont go looking in general section. And pretty much if they get moved there they will be overlooked.

I would LOVE to try out HoneyComb on the Nexus S
I have posted here because it is development based, it isnt general information about the Nexus S, however i realised the title was misleading and have changed it! I hope this gets a lot of devs attention and someone much more able than myself manages to build a ROM!
I agree, I'd love to see it soon.
i would definitely give this an install if it gets ported
+1, I would love a honeycomb port as well.
I think the first step to get it to boot would be to make a boot.img with the ramdisk and kernel provided in the sdk..
Sent from my Nexus S
Yeah, I'd love to see this port also, Honeycomb seems really cool from the videos I've seen for far, it'd be awesome to have it running on my Nexus S
Iv also heard its been ported to the EVO 4G, really hopped MODs would have left this in the DEV section so it actually got noticed by the people with the ability to do something about it!
They should have left this in the developer section
Do none of the developers read the general section at all?

You're probably right. Dollars to donuts one of our amazing devs will cook up a honeycomb ROM soon.
I don't see the point in HC on phones, if its aimed at Tablets with its UI interfaces and large Graphics, whats the point in having those OSK Arrows e.c.t
The only cool thing in HC is those animated backgrounds, apart from that thats it really.
I'd Rather see 2.3.3 running so we can mess about with NFC's and such, or 2.4 in late march.

The point is "waste time".
Everybody can see that the Honeycomb UI isn't good for smartphones.
id like to see it on nexus S :3
I really hope someone ports this soon. I'm pretty excited to just mess around with honeycomb even if its only an early version.

was the OP not good info? i didnt see the thread anywhere in the dev section and a XOOM sytstem dump seems like dev worthy material... i know i would have never seen it if it was not posted... i dont spend to much time in the HD2 section, only this one. i get that it was posted already in another section but isnt that why there are specific sections on this forum? otherwise the first post of the system dump would be packed full all the people with all the diffrent phones and tablets. and i know i dont go searching all the other subforum stuff for GTAB related info...
so off my soap box now... lol thanks for the find and for the post!! cant wait to see what this brings us!!
I've been mucking about with the system image, trying to get it to run, from a VEGAn base, not been successful so far. But my experience with ROM devving has been scant, to say the least
Basically I tried pushing the xoom system files straight on top of a VEGAn install, which ran out of space! Then tried just the xoom system, which fit, but rebooted to recovery and "erasing MSC" came up.
Then tried a mix of both, which had permissions errors (no +x on /system/bin), which when fixed, led to a reboot to recovery.
And then my lunch break was over, so I had to get back to real work Will do some reading tonight (Now + 4 hours or so), and a more thorough look at how VEGAn hangs together, and how stuffing a honeycomb /system into it will help us out.

Thats why I said the third thread posted today about the same thing. It has been moved from the development thread multiple times because its not development. Without a boot.img this system dump is completely worthless. There still files that are needed from nvidia that are not in this dump.

ah i see, i didnt understand your reply. So the system dump cannot offer anything from a dev standpoint over the SDK that we already have?

I didn't know the other two threads were moved? I was wondering why they were in the general section because like the OP I was unaware what was needed to cook or port a ROM.

If we had a boot img yes but by itself it doesnt do much. Sorry but as a regular user here at xda I get tired of seeing the same thread started over and over and its usually by n00bs who think they've discovered the wheel. I'm not putting you in that group as I can tell by your questions you are genuinely interested and are thinking before you post. I promise you that several of us have links to places where info shows up first and that as soon as there is a rom worth using it will be posted her as sticky for everyone to try. Have some patience and let the devs do their work.........or should I "gtfo"

How they build a rom to NOOK without Boot Image
I know XOOM running Tagra 2. The first vision of SDK compatible for that Nooks processor. But however they run 3.0 on Nook. But now we have full system dump running on Xoom. Why we can't do like Nook guy's?
Because the Nook Honeycomb is made from a preview SDK without any optimizations made for Tegra 2. The Nook barely runs it.
We need a dump from a Tegra 2 device or access to the AOSP HC source library-neither of which are currently available.

Or one of the 100 threads started asking how to install clockwork or a rom. Most questions can be answered in the sticky posts alone but no one wants to read. They want they info spelled out to them personally. This doesn't go for everyone but its certainly intended for the "honeycomb is on the Nook, why not on the GTab now that we have a system dump" crowd.

I agree on the need to read... I have read and read, I haven't asked because I was learning slowly about all things android. For me it is hard to ask questions for fear of being called a "noob" and told to "read and search". I appreciate what those who know have done for people like me.
Glad to see you did'nt leave frogman!
I'm very glad to see that everyone's excited, but this is not going to be an easy task, at least not for me (I can't speak for the other devs and modders of whom I bow to their collective genius).
A system dump is a start, but it's not the whole picture. It's like putting together a new bicycle that's sort of the same as the old kind, but with no manual and only half the parts. Trust me, I've already tried and for longer than you might know - so far no dice.
You want to help us out? If you plan to buy one of these tomorrow, try to root it and get us a boot.img. Or the unlocked bootloader. Or a full nvflash dump would be wonderful (that's how I got the Adam mod to work on a GTAB - not because I'm a genius but because I was darn lucky that NI was forced to release an nvflash dump). I'll even take an init.rc - anything would be appreciated.
But chants of "what don't we have a port yet?" over isn't going to help us at all (and you know who you are). Seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please stop. Thanks in advance.

Honey Comb 3.2 coming to Xoom in a few days?

I was so happy that I finally got my 3.1 update last week for my iconia but 3.2 is ready to come out in a few days... Hopefully we will get this update sooner this time.

Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
From what I read online 3.2 is suppose to be a version optimized for 7 inch tablets and the Icecream Sandwich 4.0 will be release in the 4th quarter of the the year for all tablets.
Nevermind... it will be ported for sure. Heheh
Based on Acers history, do you think there is much of a chance we will even officially see a android 4 (ICS) release for the A500?

Bet you fifty bucks we get it from the devs here LONG before we get it from Acer.
Google have said that ICS will be open-source, so that's the point where you'll start seeing some real innovation in tablet ROMs. At the moment the custom ROMs are nice, but it's largely tinkering around the edges + new kernels. ICS will change that.
So I wouldn't worry too much about Acer bringing it to the A500 - someone will, and it'll be better than Acer would have done it.
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
Besides, just wondering why are you posting XOOM news in Acer A500 forum ?

Actually it is about development, whats the difference between this and other post in development just mentioning about 3.1. And I did not post it about the Xoom, I was just showing everyone that 3.2 can be expected in a few months, or years lol, for the iconia.

You get those types on any forums, not just this one. Support forums tend to be worse because there is a lot of the same questions being asked over and over and it tends to build up animosity and resentment among the people who've been around for a while. There is really nothing you can do except add a disclaimer with every post, explaining how you've exhausted every other option prior to posting. There will always be the crowd that feels posting on a support forum should be a last resort, to be used only after every other resource has been drawn upon. I've seen that iron-fisted approach turn some boards into vacant wastelands. In comparison, it's really not that bad here...for now.
Back on topic: I think the original poster was posting a seemingly Xoom topic on an A500 board because there a lot of A500 owners still wondering if they made the right purchase and look to compare the two. I speak as an A500 owner when I say that if a new patch comes out, and the Xoom gets it first, I damn well want to know about it.
Cheers,

Anyone working on ICS?

Is anybody, except the CM team, working on an AOSP rom for the Nook color?

Unless they say otherwise for this device, the fact that Cyanogen is working on CM9 (ICS) means they are working on it for the Nook Color.

Stop posting this link to the G1 over and over, it's completely irrelevant.
Wait a minute here if a low spec phone like the G1 can run ICS now thats very relevant and good news.
What really surprises me is that such an old device still has developers porting new roms... hmm I think you all know where I am going with this.
This thread is still clogged with useless tidbits of speculation... it is irrelevant because the g1 != nook color. Work is being done in the other thread. This section is not for discussion. This thread is absolutely useless here.

i agree with pavlos.. this is relevant because it was just bringing a point that if a device with as little of memory as the G1 could be developed to carry ICS our NC have more than enough power and ability to run it.. I know there is more to it but that's where this thread was basically leading.. if there is going to be more than just CM9 for us...

Did you see how *awful* it ran, though? I don't doubt ICS is going to be pretty ugly on the NC, and better on the Tablet. We just don't have the CPU to really run ICS well.

Our Nooks will run ICS fine.
... it doesn't take a genius to know that we can run ics on a nook color. Any android device can run any android. Albeit very Soddy on some. However... the g1 running ics is still irrelevant to the nook running ics, both physically and and technically. The g1 is not the nook color end of story. I could care less if your microwave was running ice cream sandwich, its so damn irrelevant. This thread is hearsay all over.
This thread should be locked or moved
I agree that this speculation thread should be moved to the NC general section, and out of the android developer section.
But, come on guys, get a little more polite.
Nothing is FORCING you to continue to read this thread or respond to it.
Given the number of responses and reads of this thread, people are interested in the topic, even if it is speculation at this time.

Kernel Modules for 3D and Audio on Touchpad

Posting this hoping some of the CM developers on the touch pad visit this section of the forums -
I was wondering if anyone knows which kernel modules are in use on CM7 that are allowing the touchpad to have full 3D and working audio under the OS. Working on getting Debian running fully on the touchpad hardware and these are two hurdles I need to get over next.

Seriously, this is ridiculous. Probably a large part of the reason RootzWiki exists, because of this BS on XDA. OP, please don't be discouraged - I support your efforts and wish I could answer your question!
If you mean the kernel compiling, maybe you can check the tenderloin kernel build in github
I wish I can also find the CM7 source code for TP but it seems been pulled off from github, you can check the work of preludedrew but the rom I built from his code does not work well for 3D acceleration and other stuffs (or maybe I have done something wrong in compiling...)
Hope this helps
