Thats exactly like using a gsm hero's source code for our development. I don't really think so. but i could check it out and port some heroc stuff to see if it'll work
We've ported Eris dumps and Legend dumps (their source is also out). I understand it won't go straight out of the box, but since the Eris is almost identical to the Hero we have, I would think modifying it for us wouldn't be an issue. Wasn't the only difference hardware-wise was the light sensor on the Hero versus the proximity sensor on the Eris?
My luck...it'll be that camera again.

do a string search for heroC in make menuconfig for both droid eris source and hero cdma source and tell me if you see the board configs for our phone in both of them. Its not as easy as porting roms from the same architecture as ours. If you noticed, in all the ports we replaced the kernel in the boot.img with our own leaked .29 kernel
This can only mean one thing. The update is near.
That's cool. Just an idea since it could be a while until we see our source code release. Wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers here.

Ya never know though. Look, the Incredible code was released quick.
I may be wrong and we get it within a week or two after release (hopefully, I am wrong). I'm going by the last time source code was release, which was four months later.

This leads to the question of why it was released with the 2.1 update...is this a new HTC or does Verizon have a hand in this?
Either way, this is nothing but good news for us and future Android phones.
Hopefully, it's HTC learning from the delay lessons of 1.5. If not, I guarantee that Sprint won't go to bat for us getting the source code...that may eat into their potential revenue for the Evo.

sprints never going to go to bat unless it affects their bottom line if it doesnt get relaesesd we will have to do the same thing we did when getting the source for 1.5 and start an email and call campaigne hopefully that wont come to that though as I think the 1.5 delay was becuase of the way that the kernel was hacked together to get CDMA support and with android now nativly supporting CDMA it hopefully wont be an issue.
Ahh really? Our soucre code for the. 29 kernel is the last thing we need. An overclocked kernel with working camera! oh well, I hope we can get it shortly after the 2.1 update goes live

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all manufacturers are bound by the GPL license of the Linux-derived kernel to publish the source code every time they release a new kernel to the public (i.e., their users). In practice, this means they will publish a new kernel source code with each new phone and each new version of Android (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.). Also, if there are any critical updates that they have to apply to the kernel, they will publish that too, but such situations aren't that common. Most of the big manufacturers will publish their source code within a week of releasing their latest Android upgrade or phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong as well, but, at 125MB, this seems like more than kernel source code. The kernel patches are GPL'd, but the rest of Android is released by Google under the Apache License, meaning (as we've seen) manufacturers don't have to release any source code of customizations like blur, or sense. (see wikipedia for android, under licensing -- I had a link here, but I'm not allowed to post it until I reach 8 posts)
And if this is a 125mb kernel source download, just ignore this post...
Edit: After taking a look inside, there's both kernel source and some platform source code (I'm seeing things like webkit, bluetooth, email...), so at least some of this looks to be optionally-released stuff.
Htc told me on facebook this:
Mario - The Evo Shift's kernel source will be released but an exact day has yet to be announced. We will let you know as soon as we have more information. Thanks.

According to the GPL, the source is to be released at the same time as the executable. HTC *loves* to illegally delay things.

I say a BIG HELL YEAH to this
If I had a facebook account I would do that. Looking at their wall it doesn't seem too many people are taking the advice though.
I thought the deadline for releasing source code was something like within 90 days of software release? Am I wrong?
I never understood the need for delay; theoretically aren't they supposed to release the same exact code that they used to compile whatever it was they released in the first place? HTC or any other manufacturer shouldn't need any time to modify it or anything, right?
They do not have to change anything as far as I understand. But for some reason they don't care to share they're keeping the Shift Source Code kernel a little longer. Hell they already released the EVO3D code. Just don't get it.
All right just posted on they're wall on FB! C'mon everyone help out!

From what I have seen, there is no provision in the GPLv2 terms for any "delay".

It means that people can start porting / developing ICS related content. Your likely to see Cyanogenmod supporting 4.0.1 before its released from SE (or rather, Sony now.)
EDIT: If your on an R800x there is a Very good chance you will never live to see the day Verizon supports ICS on this device. Especially with the low sales.

Hi All,
i am not a developer and found this link which is having kernel 3.X.X.X drivers, so i thought they may be ICS drivers for Tegra 2 Ventana board, so can some one who is have knowledge on the Kernel please validate these drivers...
By using these drivers can we have H/W acceleration with ICS/JB...
Link: http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/linux-for-tegra.html
System Requirements
Host PC running Linux Ubuntu 9.04 or higher.
Tegra Linux Driver Package which contains a kernel image, bootloader, NVIDIA drivers, and flashing utilities. For more information, see the Release Notes.
Sample filesystem (example provided)

Looks like these, as the title states, are for linux. I think we still have to wait for the drivers from Motorola to be included in the next ICS update.
Oh come on...

Even tough that its true, i like the fact that people are not giving up and still looking for the drivers. :good:
EDIT: Guys, did you actually bothered reading what he posted? Those seems to be the real deal. It clearly say that those are drivers for linux kernel 3.1.10 for VENTANA AP20H, which is the chipset that our beloved Atrix 4G uses. Don't know if im being too optimistic.
According to http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...e;hb=12a12a3ad4bf4d54bfeefa75b42bae2801472e82 we have sources for 3.1.10 kernel. And it seems now we have binaries that we didn't have before. But one concern:

This package have already been available on nvidia server for 11 days. It might mean that:
1) It is not our drivers, otherwise someone would notice them
2) Everyone was busy with searching for a leak on moto's servers
