I think it's helpful for developers.

Something for the developers here!

But i thought it needed its own thread!
why SE release the source but not disclose the way to boot recovery? or bootloader?
my guess is that they are releasing it so the modding community will port it to 2.1. just a theory.

Because they dont want to do more than necessary GPLv2 says the manufacturers must release the kernel sources, but it does'nt say that u actually have to give users access to the bootloader for flashing the kernel... a good trick other manufacturers also used for closing it down as much as possible!
Exactly.
BT did the same thing with the source code for their HomeHubs. Great for hacking around. Lousy without access to the bootloader.
I want to try compiling my own kernel for 2.2. Where can I find the source code?
For the incredible its not out yet i dont think. I could be wrong though.

I will try git
It's not there. And they won't release it.
Since when was HTC obligated to release kernel source if they didn't release the binary?
Well regardless I want to try making kernels how do you know the version of the kernel you downloaded ?
You don't understand. The aosp kernel source does not contain board support for the Dinc.

1. 2.3 has not been officially released for the Epic. We only have binary leaks, no source code.
2. The CM 7 team is waiting for the official release of 2.3 because the GPL requires Samsung to release the source code then.
The CM7 team needs the source code for the customized Epic kernel & drivers. They may need other source code poeces too.
tl:dr No, since they still do not have the needed source code.

htc have released source code at htcdev.com, including i have noted, a gingerbread update for desire. would these releases make it easier for hd2 android development?
it will be an interesting next few weeks
1. Wrong forum
2. Already posted on the main news page
3. Gingerbread for desire is released last week already but not the kernel source
4. Source codes were always there on the htcdev site, nothing new
Dont post things too fast m8, i know everyone is excited about the desire gingerbread rom and how it potentially can fix the graphic glitches on the sense roms (is'nt even sure it will be fixed).
Please correct me if i'm wrong i dont think there is much to develop anymore for our HD2's as there are android builds that run as fast as stable as any generic android device.
The only big thing i can imagine that still can be developed is true 720p recording and i dont know if the source code will help getting this to work. i'm not a dev

No, it's not a source code of Desire kernel but "only" upgrade Desire to Ginger.

thisa was posted yesterday and was in the wrong forum and you have done it again today, there is already 2 other threads about this going in Q&A
needs KERNEL source not the release of GB
I know this is a dead thread, but one question that has been on my mind. If a kernel can be compiled can't the kernel be decompiled to study the source code? Just a thought.

Decompiled software is very hard to read, follow and understand. The "decompilation" process does not result in the original source code but in assembler code, which is big, ugly and meant for machines not people.

Okay. Thank you for the answer.
One question guys, may be in the wrong thread but excuse me. I just wondering...HTC realesed upgrade for Desire some time ago, Is it that they are not yet published the source code does not break the rules of the General Public License (GPL)?
HTC opened source code of kernel 3.0.16 for One V. It's the same hardware based as our DHD. So I hope now devs can use it to make our custom roms to be fully functional with ICS 4.0.
Who is the first?

good news
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
cool wonder how long before we get a full working ics rom a day or two at most.....
It's not that simple.
While they share the same SoC, they do not have the same board, hence board config files.
The jump from linux 2.6.x to 3.0.x is huge and u can't simply bring in those missing board-spade*.c .h files from the old kernel and expect them to compile. You're going to get a whole lot of compile errors because the underlying linux kernel has gone through so much changes. It's a daunting and massive undertaking.
My money is on devs waiting for HTC to release DHD kernel source for ICS.
