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

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.

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

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

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.

Should we do a factory reset before performing the update to the ICS?
Prime users are experiencing reboots and locks:

I will be waiting until Revolver has a new ROM created from ICS. Then factory reset it, and start over with the new ROM. Fresh and ready to go.

you guys cant possibly think ics will be in revolver soon, ics is a whole different os which has different system files and behaves differently.
getting all the optimizations from 3.2 to 4.0 will take a while and that is if the tweaks work on ics.

Yeah I imagine it will take a while for us to see a revolver ICS ROM released. Honeycomb is still new to me as I got my TF101 for christmas and my nexus one still rocks gingerbread. To me, so far, honeycomb feels like what I think ICS will feel like. I guess I'll know for sure when I get my Galaxy Nexus next week...

Having both Honeycomb and ICS (with previous experience with Donut, Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread), I'd have to say that ICS has the best parts of all of them, a lot of the looks from Honeycomb, but with the feel that you wished Honeycomb would have had. Then shoot that full of steroids and add a slice of pie = ICS.
I'm hoping soon after ICS is released for the TF we will see a flasble stock Rom that will not remove root.then we can play with that while waiting for ICS on KRAKD
DESIRE HD using ER3BUS ASUS TRANSFORMER on KRAKD
I'm super excited for ICS, but i don't know the best method to go back to stock and keep root. I'm too antsy to wait until a custom rom is built, but i also don't want to forgeit the option of using TB to recover all my applications and game saves. What's everyone's thoughts on this?
You know that the TF is NOT going to get ICS on the 12th, the statement from Asus says the PRIME gets ICS. Asus has made no statement that I have found for a release date to the TF. IMHO it does not make good business since to relase it to the TF until the hype has gone away from the release of the PRIME and the update of ICS.

Asus actually said "are you referring to TF101? If so, it will be getting the update as well tomorrow. Thanks."
Seems pretty definitive to me.
Deerkiller if you look again, they are stating after Jan 12

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....

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!

Title is self-explanatory.
In my experience, I found that CM9 was much more stable than CM10 - despite both having the same 'Nvidia libs' issue. CM10 also had the issue where mobile data doesn't work.
There are also other niggles, such as flash not being compatible with JB.
However, CM10 is in its very early days, so this could be an unfair comparison. Which leads me to think that maybe CM10 could be better for the long term - as development on CM9 is likely to slow down. I get the impression that CM10 could reach CM9 stability soon and personally, 'project butter' sure seems interesting to me...
What do you think?
Maybe both?? :fingers-crossed:
I vote CM10, I think it'll be a better investment in the long run.
both :good:
Def CM10, even if it's on early stage, that's the way to go, CM9 leads to CM10, and i've read many people saying CM10 is far much smoother than CM9.
(But i can't tell, i'm stuck with CM7 because of you :good
I just hope Motorola will give us ICS in time...
Just my two cents
CM10 would probably be the better way to go, but not until the proper drivers are available. CM7 may be "outdated" (which IMHO is horse****), but it's incredibly stable and reliable, which CM9 and CM10 are not (despite the commendable hard work by joker, turl, epinter and others, who are doing their absolute best with what they have to work with).

I suppose 10. Both have problems. Might as well go with the up to date problem.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
is it selfish to ask for both? =)
i say cm10.. it just feels like those drivers are right around the corner and that being the case cm10 stability is there too. so may as well start now?
I've voted for CM10. But I'd rather say that for now there is no sense to start developing CM10 or CM9 Neutrino for the lack of libs sources and appropriate kernel version. We already have tons of CM9 and CM10 unofficial mods that don't work in a propper way - problems with camera, UIs, hardware accelaration, etc. So I'd like to advice you to what for official ICS firmware or official version from Cyanogenmod (if it will be) and then start developing and modding in order to work out a stable completely functioning and suitable for everyday use mod unless you able to develop its yourself without official ICS.
In any way thanks for you servey and you Neutrino rom that is really pretty good.

Let's be realistic here, Motorola and Nvidea will not release ICS, nor any drivers.
We all know their reputation better than anybody else.
I think that CM10 is the better

i say cm10 skip cm9. you have a good stable cm7 to hold me over till cm10 no need for baby steps up to latest if its in the works.
While I think it'd be great to see both, I think CM9 would be taking away time that could be spent on improving CM10.
CM10 please.

Not all of us are as pessimistic as you are, thankfully. Until we get definitive proof that this is the case, I'll ignore the Chicken Littles and remain hopeful, if that's okay with you.

Of cause CM10. And I think jokersax 's should be the base. All other roms based on it. It is most close (or pure) CM.
Waiting for next best Atrix rom
