When the SDK came out, there was a port in a few days. Just curious if anyone is doing a port of Xoom's Honeycomb to NC or people just waiting for google to opensource honeycomb? Any clue when that'll happen?

Just caught wind that the 2.3 SDK is currently available. Anybody able to confirm this for me?
If this is true, is anyone taking a look at it?
Its on the Android Developers site.
Is there any work being done to it? I understand to port it to our phones is going to take awhile if it is at all possible, but has anyone started? Just trying to figure out where our poor little Heros stand now.
Just the SDK has been released, not to mention it hasn't been rolled out to any devices yet, will have to wait a few weeks for it to hit AOSP before anything can be done.

I just saw this on google. Very exciting!
So does this mean we sshould be seeing some serious honeycomb roms coming our way?
SDK and AOSP are not the same thing
dont get too excited yet
Just like norazi said. An SDK ain't what is needed to port 3.0. Just wait till the Xoom gets out THEN soon afterwards....week or two....just a guess....... In the meantime, deeeeeeep breath....lol
ahhhh okokok
well. any step that is closer towards 3.0 all up in my face is fine by me.
The official SDK for Android 3.0 has been out there for a day or two (cf Android developers website)
And still no port of this release on the NC
Can't wait for the HC v05 image for NC !
SDK only helps you develop apps, they need the asop code to better port hc.

Source needs to be dropped for us to have better builds.
So by Google's open source platform is open source when the first consumer product gets sold right so when the zoom comes out look for it then
I can't wait til we have a fully ported version of HC, it will be awesome. I never expected to have it on the NC when I bought it. I wanted something inexpensive that I could root and use for web browsing, gmail, google voice, running flash, and playing a few games. I didn't think it would ever be running HC and I was ok with that. Everyone has done an amazing job and there is much more to come. This Nook is a cool device for sure.

so maybe sooner it will be fullu ported on G1? or is this fake?
honeycomb is for tablets not phones
it's true it can be ported to phones, but why port it to g1? it is likely that many of the features that make honeycomb what it is are just incompatible or not practical.
Serious rom devs won't try porting hc to g1
The bin mixers will try and end up with a laggy, feature broken rom.
if you want hc on your g1 look at the existing ports
if you want a real hc experience buy a tablet
no doubt a bin mixer/bin mixer fan boy will come along and tell me I'm stifling development
I'll tell them now that they have no clue
So Google has released the SDK for ICS here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html
I've been doing some dev work on my Toshiba Thrive and wanted to know if anyone wanted to start working to port over ICS to our phones. I'm unsure about whether or not we'll get an actual ICS update so I figured I'd post up and gauge interest!
Let me know guys
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we need the ICS source to be released to even start on a official port?

Its possible to port the SDK, but it will be harder, messier and things generally wont work 100%. This was the case with Honeycomb
The Cyanogen Mod team issued a statement saying that they will not release CM9 until the source is released. Don't you guys think that it's way too risky to use the SDK? Afterall, the source will be made available just a few weeks after the Galaxy Nexus will be made available to the general public (Source: Android Police).

The problem with an SDK port is that you have no control over it. Its entirely up to luck if things work, and even then things wont work as well as they could were they to be compiled for the device in question. Also because of this, any work that goes into an SDK port would be 100% useless once the source is released, so there's no point in even starting it. For that reason I highly doubt CM9 will see any work done until the source hits.
Its not going to be too long now. The Galaxy Nexus will be out in a few weeks to a month, and the source shouldn't be too far behind. I dont expect us to have stable ICS this year, but hopefully we'll have something by early 2012.
Over in the desier hd forum they have a dump from a working device that we might be able to do something with.
I figured working on porting the sdk would prepare us for the source code release. We should be able to quickly port it over once the source is released.......hopefully. I don't see the GNex coming to at&t until early next year so I'm hoping to get a working port of ICS as quickly as possible on my atrix and I figure the only way to ensure that is to take initiative.
I really want the GNex though. That phone looks pretty cool. I hope it doesn't get a Verizon only release in November

hobbit19 is starting too, lets all work together on this
When you have something to post, then we can re-open this thread. Threads about the intention to develop are not necessary in the development lounge. PM me when you have made progress on a port and we'll re-open this thread. Good luck, mate!
