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.

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....

The SDK has been released, will we see this on the SGS2 soon?
If not by Samsung by the rom gurus?

Nope. It's for tablets only, and I doubt anyone can manage to port it to our device.

Ahh ok, thanks, shame though
3.0 was ported to HD2, so it's possible.

You mean "could be bothered" to port it. I'm sure that someone _could_, but an OS designed for a tablet on a 4.3" screen would be a bit average.
Wait for the Cyanogen guys to port IceCream Sandwich (Android 4.0?) if/when it turns up. By that time Samsung will have dropped the SGS2 like last weeks spam sandwich and will be pushing the SGS3 instead.
Of course, that won't be until around Christmas sometime I'd be guessing.
God dammit, this is about the 3rd topic on the same thing. SDK does not equal the whole os, google have only put out the source for the gpl bits and a lot of android is apache.
And a 3.0 port wouldn't make much sense on a 4.3inch screen

this is the exact reason why Google hasn't made honeycomb open sourced.
Honeycomb is only meant for tablets. Until people learn to accept that it will remain closed. We've already seen android ruined by sub-par OEMs putting android on their **** hardware.
I hope not, honeycomb looks so messy at the moment
There really is no point putting honeycomb on a phone, the optimisations are mainly just for larger screens. If there is something nice in there it normally gets ripped out and cooked into a ROM or app anyway, its just a waste of time doing a full port IMHO.

Yeah i remember the thread in question,BUT it was practically useless most functions were not working on the phone.
Then i hope a dev could make a really good honeycomb theme in that case

Just gotta wait about 2~4 months for ice cream sandwich to release and then a bit longer for update. But it's gonna be awesome

Hey Guys,
Will the Cyanogenmod Rom for Kindle Fire be an offical release from Cyanogen?
I would have posted this in the development section, but I don't think I have enough post yet.
Thanks,
Matt
I think it starts with a port and someone willing to maintain for the device
I honestly I think the excitement lays in ICS, I wouldn't expect any long term support for cm7.

I think the op was referring to cm9 which is based on ics.
it should be supported. this device will become more popular than you guys might think.

hmmm i think so too. Was my decision buying an Acer Iconia A100 a wrong one? I hope not.
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
Why no honeycomb Roms? Coming from the thunderbolt forums I was expecting a lot more action.
Not complaining, though...nice to see development going on.

Because ICS is better than honeycomb so it gets all the dev attention

That I understand, but much like on my Thunderbolt, ICS just isn't quite ready to roll. I'm just surprised that there isn't any Honeycomb roms out there, because I'd think they'd be better than the GB based roms, since HC is optimized for tablets.
I did install Hellfire CM7 this morning on the wife's kindle, and that works pretty well...and with an ICS theme and a little overclock, it really woke up that lil Kindle. I just have to hope that the wife finds it useful, because essentially it's her device...and of course she likes the 'simplicity of the kindle (launcher)'.
HC source was released AFTER ICS source.
No point in even considering HC roms at this point.
Gotcha. I guess that makes sense. Just figured a port from like equipment would have been an easy one. Oh well...back to waiting patiently.
they both require the same kernel. which we still don't have, yet!

Google developer Jean-Baptiste Queru, also known as JBQ, has announced on Google Groups that they are now releasing the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean source code to Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
Jean-Baptiste Queru said:
We're releasing Android 4.1 in AOSP today.
The name of the tagged release is android-4.1.1_r1.
The name of the development branch is jb-dev.
We recommend that you create new clients, even if you're working in
the master branch. It'll make your clients smaller and faster to sync.
Proprietary binaries are available for Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus. Nexus
S and Xoom will follow.
JBQ, on behalf of the entire Android team at Google.

I think it's safe to say that Jelly Bean is about the first android update I haven't been overly excited and anxious to receive. That might also be because we don't even have the official one under it yet
Would be crazy excited about this though i know the atrix community is not what it was. We will get this update it will just take time

But the port is effectively a streamlined skin because we don't even have ICS yet, and that's because of NVidia/Motorola. Until all the required libs, etc., are released all anyone has is a themed GB!

No, I am serious......without NVidia playing ball we have no true ICS. You said it yourself.....not fully functional! We have pseudo ICS with features that don't work properly, and sub optimal OS. This isn't a slam against any dev. Just stating what I believe is fact. We had the kernels, etc., before any ICS porting started. We lack what the devs require for a true ICS OS.
So you can say its ICS but its crippled. That's why I say like a themed GB.

-> Implying that a BMW engine is better than Ford.
Anyway I get what you meant, but it's not fair to say that it's a themed GB, especially not fair to the devs that have worked so hard to get a working version. The only things that aren't working (at least for me) are HW Libs, Camera is a little jerky, and Browser rotation on most browsers. I think that's pretty good and can only get better once we get a finished kernel.

A small off topic, do you know that you can change version number in build.prop to whatever you want and then see it in About Phone?
I would think the devs would want to wait for proper ics kernel before starting jellybean, but you never know
