Will this be even remotely possible?

Not really. Something could probably be hacked together similar to what was done to the Honeycomb SDK, but until we get HC/ICS source code its going to be very lacking.
better off waiting for ICS source code to be released. porting anything honeycomb is not gonna work
From what I gather, it wont help because its tegra based, so the drivers and acceleration are desinged around a different CPU and GPU than what's in the NC. From the reviews I read about HC devices, it just seems like HC isn't very well optimized, as even the tegra2 systems can have occasional lag.
Got it. Thanks for the replies guys.

At last excellent stuff looking forward to the ICS CheckRom, should be something else
Let the games begin.
But.... don't we still need the Mali driver? I thought without it, we won't have ICS?

So given that we have ICS source and similar drivers (From HC tablets running the Mali400) there shouldn't be a whole lot in the devs way right?

Sorry if this is blatantly obvious.
But since the Vega has cm support, does that mean it will be getting ICS support from CM devs?
That would be awesome!
If that's the case, I will shell out and buy it soon!!!

I'd assume so. However, you never know what difficulties, if any, will be encountered in porting the drivers. I'd assume you're safe since the Vega, and its Malata and Viewsonic variants, are quite popular.
Nvidia will release ICS drivers for the tegra2
But when will they be ready is the real question.
I just installed ics on my Pov mobii, does it already include tegra2 acceleration?
SD content playpack works fine, but HD playback does not work.
The camera and the microphone are not woorking either.
But the whole system is damn fast
Waiting for the first beta release ....
not hardware accelerated video playback is available yet.
Cass(developer of VegaICS) solved camera issue but didn't release an update yet.

Can we still expect that the CM team are working on it?
They never released a stable CM7...

I know alot of people are working on ICS but since honeycomb is older wouldnt it be easy to make a port? Just wondering.
You should port it real quick, and let us know which version was easier

Considering how far along ICS is and that Honeycomb is inferior, no.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
ICS is better
ICS runs very smoothly so there is no point in porting honeycomb
Also Honeycomb is not open sourced.
Honeycomb has been ASOP since they released the ICS source code....
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Since the Honeycomb source was released when ICS source was released, is it possible to port Honeycomb to other tablets like the Kindle? I realize ICS is newer and more desirable, just wondering if its even possible or has been attempted already. Thanks
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
There are plenty of tablets running Honeycomb in their stock ROMs, the Motorola Xoom for instance. A Honeycomb ROM is entirely possible, there just doesn't seem to be much of an interest.
Yeah, I have a Toshiba Thrive with HC, just wondering if its possible to port. ICS is awesome on my kindle and on my Inspire, but Honeycomb just seems like a perfect tablet OS to me and I think would be perfect on my Kindle.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
It's definitely possible but the devs have been laser-focused on CM9
Well I guess its as perfect time as ever to learn how to compile from source then
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Why don't you try and Theme one of the CM9 ROMs with Honeycomb, themeing is a easy skill to learn.
I personally don't have any interest in HoneyComb, ICS is superior and has a much cleaner look.
Yeah its possible but I think before they start with honeycomb they should finish ics. Once hardware accelaration is working and they get a 3.x kernel it should be easy to get hc to work as well.... don't know why u would want it tho pics is much more polished
This is to the devs, I'm sure you've all heard about the program Canonical is running to get Ubuntu on the Nexus 7. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/27/ubuntu-nexus-7-installer/
Anywhere here's the link, I hope you guys can get this to work because the lapdock and native ubuntu would be the best. I know it's a leap, but it would be sweet.

I think the odds of them supporting EOL'd Tegra2 devices is pretty damn remote.

Wasn't referring to Canonical supporting us... That's kind of why I was hoping devs would see this. Maybe it could be modified for our device after/if we get a proper kernel/drivers and regardless it's pretty interesting even if you don't own the device.
Moved to the appropriate forum.
Ain't there already nvidia tegra kernel for linux? We would only need some drivers for more gsm related stuff. (But only if anyone wants to make calls)

There are drivers for Linux but it would be a huge work from our devs to manage booting on a kernel that supports these drivers.
There is archlinux build for nvidia tegra2 developers board called trimslice. Ready to boot.

It's for the tegra 2, but I believe it's either the harmony/ventena board, so it's similar but different from ours.
EDIT: and I know this has been discussed before, but would this http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/linux-for-tegra.html assist at all in native port?
From what i learned lately. Android kernel works differently in some aspects than linux. I think we could we could replace safetly any kernel with that from nvidia with ventana support(of course without gsm, gps support). Someone said that android kernel doesn't probe hardware just directly connects to it. On the other hand linux kernel does probe hardware so if anything would be not supported it wouldn't use it, so instead generic drivers would be used (like on x86). Or am i totally wrong?
