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!

I'd rather have ICS on my Tablet. Although there's no need to hack the dumps, since Google announced to release the ICS sources soon.

Same here. Already a custom ROM availbe for the nexus s so that's a good sign
I would like to see it on my Acer,Asus and EVO,but the HTC EVO is still in the gingerbread phase,so it might be a few for my phone.
those sayin they would prefer honeycomb on their tablets.
remember ICS will have source out, meaning REAL custom roms
honeycomb will never get this.
therefor ICS will be the right choice for tablets!

I agree. Btw Google announed the ICS source release for the end of november, so this is rather soon.

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.
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
We have the kernel source and aosp source for ICS (not JB)(obviously) so why hasn't anyone made an aosp Rom? It seems even other devices get AOSP roms a lot faster. Is there a problem with porting AOSP to the S3 phones in general (US VERSIONS) or does no dev really care for AOSP and is happy with TouchWiz? I don't know, and I'm just curious. Just to be clear, I'm not asking any devs to get on it or work on it or rush it, just pure curiosity. Thanks. Hoping some devs could reply to clear some things up.

If you have been reading. The devs are having to unravel a disgusting amount of code because the touch wiz is integrated with everything. We are running a %0 true android experience. It's going to take time. With all due respect if you can't wait do it yourself. Good luck.

Exactly. As much as I don't want to wait any linger and take my g nex back from my wife I think I'll stick it out. This phone is pretty damn sweet
Give it some time. As stated before the phone is barely even released.

Yeah I get that it's running touchwiz which is like you said basically a 0% true android experience but wouldn't you just be able to delete the touchwiz all together and flash a new Rom. I'm not exactly sure what the problems are that are stopping devs from just installing a Rom onto it after removing touchwiz. I can wait I was just asking out of curiosity lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
You can't do that without achieving AOSP. ICS AOSP is helpful, but everyone wants JB.
The JB AOSP source code isn't out and when it is, the closed-source RIL is the biggest obstacle to making it work.

You can't have AOSP ROMS without the AndroidOpenSource for 4.1, which isn't out for 2 more weeks. And for 4.0, the devs still need time.
someone else mentioned that a lot of the devs might have held out for the 32gb models which were hard to come by opening week. the 16gb versions came out first. anyway, there are a lot of great devs on board, and not just historically samsung devs. htc devs like myn will be pumping out roms soon enough.
i won't lie though... some jellybean love would be beautiful.

Yeah, I hope by the time the SGS4 rolls around in a year that 32GB will be the new low-end, with 64GB the step up. I really hope we don't stagnate here -- or worse: go backwards -- just because of this cloud crap.
My guess would be that most of the devs have the international version. They have had AOSP roms for weeks. Not to mention cm9, aokp, and about to get miui4
My guess would be that the phone is just getting released in the US and maybe the devs are waiting for 4.1 source so we can have a Jelly Bean AOSP rom instead of spending so much time to create an ICS AOSP. That doesn't make much sense to me, why waste time on ICS when JB is coming out in couple of weeks.
Can't most efforts on ICS apply to JB, or do things like project butter really change up the porting?
I imagine Google Play on stock/root or CM9 would be a lower-hanging fruit.

Try and just take it explorer on Windows and see how far you get. It's not as simple as just deleting touchwiz.

Now now, this isn't Half Life. But seriously, I don't mind waiting for AOSP because TouchWiz has a lot of cool software features and I can always flash an ICS theme.
