Xoom 3.2?

I've only had my A500 for a week, but have noticed there are ROMs based on Asus and Galaxy Tab, but not Xoom. Why is this?
I ask specifically because of the 3.2 release for Xoom. I'm assuming once a 3.2 is released for one of either Asus or Galaxy, we'll see a 3.2 for the A500?

i cant tell you for sure. but xoom is mostly stock. we get the asus and galaxy roms because they offer some integrated features that are appealing to many users. such as accessing the sd card via usb on asus or the ui enhancements of the galaxy. im sure we will get a ported 3.2 rom soon. as it looks like it was just released.

yeah
Not only that but the xooms kernal source is being withheld. Others have released their kernal sources

I don't think it is... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124712

Moto locks are thier stuff. Whick make devs have nightmares and head achs trying to port motos roms to other devices.
On another note its a lot easier to make ports if the roms are deodexed and because of how moto locks and makes their apps when devs try to deodex the roms (meaning apps can run on their own not relying fully on the framework folder) we get errors.

CM7 on A500?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has thought about porting CM7 to the A500? I run CM7 on my Thunderbolt and love it...and while I know that it is Gingerbread, I would still be interested in checking it out on a tablet. I have read that CM7 has tablet tweaks and stuff.
Unfortunately, I am no dev...however if there are any devs out there who are bored and looking for something to do this might be fun
Thanks!

yup, I bought my iconia last week, and ran a search on the whole iconia forum for "cyanogenmod" and got 0 hits. When I asked about that I got some responses about how CM7 ran on 2.3, so our honeycomb ROMs on 3.x were already more advanced, like they didn't know about google forking Android for the honeycomb line. While I'm enjoying my iconia with OC taboony, as far as I can tell all of the hc changes have more to do with being flashy than functional. I expect we'll see more tablet love from CM devs with icecream sandwich, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at an unofficial port in the meantime.

Android 4.0? VegaCream?

Just curious, once 4.0 is released are we likely to see it on the Vega?
Assumably, 4.0 will be open sourced as everything pre-3.0 was and would be a breeze in comparison to porting 3.2.
What say you, oh wise devs of Vega?

We can only hope, ICS is being marketed as the android for everything, and that includes high and low spec devices, this suggests that it may change dynamically to suit the spec of he device it is running on.
Hopefully if we got it on the vega it would help with the low ram issue that vegacomb currently has.
I think we have two things to look out for, the first being the release date of ICS, slowly less people will be interested in the vega.
Another is how similar it is to honeycomb, a lot of work has gone into getting honeycomb onto the vega, if ICS needs all of that work done again, it is less likely that we will get ICS.

Interesting views, thanks!
My understanding is that given the closed nature of honeycomb, it wads a lot more difficult to port than ICS would be, which is supposed to be open source.

Well, Cyanogenmod will be using ICS when the source comes out and Cyanogenmod supports the Vega, so we can reasonably assume we will get ICS.

last CM7 update for Vega was on August 31st and it still doesn't support internal 3G and GPS. I don't think anybody is working on the CM7 for Vega anymore.

If CM do get around to progressing beyond GB for the Vega I will be impressed.
I understand their buildbot went down a short while ago, so nothing is updating for Vega at the moment..
I'd much rather see dedicated ROMs from the awesome Devs who know the vega intimately to be honest though!

Please people stop posting questions in the development section.
Mods please move to general.
Take it easy

Sounds interesting.

Just in case someone stumbles on this thread and is not yet aware of it, ICS for the Vaga and similar devices has been out since 31 December 2011 as VagaICS. The latest version is VegaICS Beta1 originally developed by Cass67 and ejtange, but now being further developed by a whole number od devs simulataniously. Seach for VegaICS Beta1 on XDA.

I think Cass and co are working on 4.04 too, been a bit quiet on vega development, looks like alot of people have moved onto other devices

Check the last couple of pages of this thread on Modaco to see how they are all getting on with ICS - http://android.modaco.com/topic/330834-advent-vega-kernel-source-code-now-available/page__st__1700

Galaxy 3.2 rom

Is there still no sign of a galaxy 3.2 rom
I was using the virtuous galaxy for so long as it is so smooth and the browser is super fast, also the touchwiz UI is far better than standard android.
Does anyone know if the galaxy even has 3.2 yet or when it is getting it?
I would love to have a 3.2 galaxy rom on this tab
Anyone else tried the virtuous galaxy and feel the same about 3.2 version?

I may be wrong, but I've searched all over, and it still seems as though the 10.1 Galaxy Tab is still running HC 3.1. Last forum post I read indicated they were in a holding pattern for the 3.2 update, same as we were for awhile ( and some in the US still are).
IIRC someone did a port using Acer 3.1, and the Galaxy UI complete with touchwiz. If they could see to a 3.2 build variant, that would be ideal for those looking for the same as yourself, but nothing as of yet.

Thanks for the update.
Soon hopefully

A200 Port for the A500?

Does anyone think that there will be a A200 port to the A500? I checked it out in Best Buy and the new UI in it is pretty nice. Just wondering..

a200 port
There has been one for a while but its just the basic stock rom. Google is how I found it.

So this would mean certain ICS then right? Because if it has already been ported over, then when ICS is released for it in Febuary, then we will get it...

Depending how clever the devs are, you may loose things like the rear camera and the HDMI port as the A200 doesn't have these and it could prove a challenge to add them to a port... Sorta like running the A500 rom on an A501, loose the 3g and GPS.
