Froyo aria source code release from htc.

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

[NEWS] Honeycomb source code on hold... Still

A little news.... Still no sign of Honeycomb source code
http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/25/google-holds-back-on-open-sourcing-honeycomb-heralds-shift-android/
Google, in an interesting but not entirely unexpected twist, will not be open-sourcing Android 3.0 Honeycomb for the foreseeable future.
Historically, Android is usually open-sourced via the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) a few days or weeks after the code is finalized. While this departure from the norm won't affect OEMs like HTC and Motorola that have access to internal builds of Android, small-time developers will likely have to wait months before rolling their own distributions.
Oh well, time for another cuppa.

just FYI: That's month old news: article date = March 25, 2011 at 07:00 AM
Considering also it says something to the effect of the "bastardization due to home brew" and "massive fragmentation" I have a hard time taking that writer serisouly.
I think there's some massive sensationalism going on

[Q] Is Ice Cream Sandwich coming to DX

Mobile Sensei has created a new custom rom for the DX basically with the ICS theme entitled ICX. From my understanding tho, I thought ICS was only gonna be built for android phones with dual core processors such as the DX2.
I could be wrong but can someone provide me with some insight into this. Whats the possibility of the DX gettin ICS?

????????????

I believe the Nexus S is only single core but I could be wrong. A couple weeks ago there was a leak of the Nexus S running ICS. I'm positive that theyll be a port of ICS to the DX

It's uncertain. The Droid X is closing in on being 2 years old. Google already forced Motorola and others to make sure they provide GB updates to this point. ICS may not be something Motorola will roll out for us.

If Motorola doesn't provide an ICS update (that whole point is very debatable), ICS will have its full source released like all AOSP releases (Except Honeycomb).
With the 2nd init process of Rom Booting now avail to us, we will certainly get builds of ICS (CM8?)
I also hope (again, very debatable) that Google's acquisition of Motorola will eventually lead to an unlocking of the bootloader, which would make true AOSP projects even easier.

Yes this is exactly what I was thinkin as well. Not to mention how long it took for an OTA of gingerbread to be released for the X.....

I was thinking this as well. As you said all of this is very debatable. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I'm leaning more toward the X not gettin the ICS (saying this hoping somewhere the droid gods will show their power and give us ICS, proving me wrong lol) just for the simple fact that the X is really on its last leg pretty much. In which I'm sure developers will create one.

Mabye no icecream sandwich for atrix or atrix 2. What does everyone think? Are we eol

Theres people asking moto on there facebook page if the atrix 2 will get ics. I also told then the og atrix people want continued support for the og atrix. Heres what they said. Like · Comment · 3 hours ago
Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it. What do you like most about your ATRIX 2 so far? Have you tried the universal lapdock?

So pretty much same answer too both they have no plans to issue ics updates.just new devices with ics

Unlocked bootloader + Cyanogenmod = continued support. Many of us got this phone because it screamed future proof, and its got more than enough power for ICS. Even if not through Motorola, the Atrix will get Android 4.0.

Maybe no ICS. Maybe yes ICS. Why the f start a new thread?!

Moto knows what there going too do. They have known for awhile why so cell phone companys feel that we do not. Have. The right too know these things. Better communication would be a much happier consumer.

The Atrix is still in GREAT SHAPE!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, people are STILL BRAGGING about their Nexus 1s. How old is that phone?
We have an unlocked bootloader, which will guarantee us some version of ICS (official or not who cares)
IMO the problem started when the Atrix 2 came out. (Which is not even a true Atrix successor)
If the Atrix 2 never gets released, none of these topics would be popping up.
Everything is fine, and there is a TON of life left of the Atrix...

I hate these stupid threads.
Moto has to give the atrix ICS.
Android handset agreement

Thread reported. You already have another thread about ICS.

+1 to that.
The only way you'll see ICS is dev support like CM9 IMHO.

There are plenty of threads discussing Ice Cream Sandwich for the Motorola Atrix. Please continue to use those threads. Thanks guys!

could this be for ics on atrix?

Interesting... Especially considering they are still rolling out updates for gingerbread in different parts of the world. Maybe the community slapped Motorola around enough and maybe Google pressured them into it, since all the other major manufacturers (LG, Samsung, Sony) are supporting all their dual core devices.
Support for devices such as the Photon, Atrix, Atrix 2, or any device with a webtop application, are going to inevitably take longer to support because there is a lot more to this device than others.

Can't be ICS Motorola explicitly stated that it takes 4-7 months for them to roll out a major update to their devices. A summer release for ICS is most likely, around july just like gingerbread was.
