2.0 AOSP?

So, at the risk of being flamed, I still have to ask (since I did a half-assed search) what exactly this means? Does it mean the source of the ROM has been made availible to the public? Becuase I thought it already was.. or was that just for application developers to have the 2.0 environment to make/test their programs with..? I think that was the ADP..? Does this mean now that ROM modifiers such as Cyanogen have their hands on the source now to manipluate and develope it?
Go ahead and flame on if you must.. I would just like to get this cleared up becuase it is knowledge to be attained.

This means that the 2.0 version of Android (or at least partially as of writing) has gone open source and people may begin building 2.0 from source.

i have the feeling 3.0 isnt so far away

what makes you think that....-_-
2.0 going "ASOP" means that the 2.0 source is officially released to the Android Open Source Project
the code has been dropped

[Q] Anyone working on the official 2.2 since the source code is out?

Just wondering if anyone is working on some rom's for the official 2.2 update, the rom's we have now are amazing just figured they would be a little more refined with the official source code released??

There already are a few if you look in the development section. I know adam of team phoenix has one in beta right now called fusion, and I saw a couple others.

BIG difference between an "update" and having "source"
there is no source yet...

all the ones i saw in the dev section were based off of the Rodgers build, which is similar but not based off of the actual captivate 2.2

The new Cog 4.1, and a few others are based off the ATT 2.2.

no. source has not been released yet.

Do we have any idea when it will come out. In was under the impression source was usually released within a few days of the update

I don't think it is guaranteed that they will ever release source...
Although they probably will eventually (hope)

they have to release the source eventually. cant remember exactly but according to licensing, they have X amount of days after official release to release the source.

Is that a Google requirement?

I believe Cognition 4.1 is based off of official froyo 2.2

I am gonna close this up now as Source has not been released and there are Roms based on the 2.2 ATT update and they are marked plainly

[Q] ICS SDK Builds?

Are there any plans to build an ICS ROM for the N1 from the SDK?

My guess they will start making some when google release the AOSP.

I think the OP was asking if there will be ROMs based on the SDK (which is already out), not on AOSP...

If you want to play around with it, just use the SDK and create an AVD. Actual ROMs based off the SDK do not work well, so might as well just play around with it on an AVD.

I know that, I was saying that there probably will only be ports to the N1 once the AOSP comes out.

I know CM will not port anything from SDK

Folks will prob be putting out SDK builds now, given that the SDK is out, but the source is not . Once the source is available, we will see AOSP builds.
EDIT: What I was trying to say is that once the source is released to the AOSP, there certainly will be no SDK builds released. If SDK builds are coming (as they have in the past) they will come between the release of the SDK and before the release of the source...

[Q] Where is ICS Kernel source?

Samsung officially release ICS for the Note (LPY in germany). They are obliged, by the kernel license, to provide the source to anyone who got the binary - in practitce to everyone. Does anyone know where is the source for the kernel included in LPY relase for the N700 is available?

They are obliged in due time, it can take months for source to be released

This is incorrect. They have to release the source at the same time as the binary. There is nothing in the GPL about "due time".

Well it is how every other company related to android as operated since the dawn of time I do believe. HTC tends to release there's in waves

They'd have to be bonkers to release the source code of a kernel with the EMMC bug, IMO. I know I wouldn't.

No. They would have to be bonkers to release the binary if indeed there is such a bug in LPY kernel. Once they released the binary they must release the source.

I dont think you quite get it, while under the licensing they should release the kernel source code most of the big company's can take months to do so

[Q] Is ICS from SU660 being ported to P990 anytime soon?

Is ICS from SU660 being ported to P990 anytime soon?
Does anyone know if someone is currently working on porting it and making it stable for P990?
How long might it take?

It's not possible.

How come? or can't they use it to fix the bugs on CM9? (such as decoding and encoding problem)

Wrong. It is possible. But it can't be done (yet) without the kernel source code which LG has yet to release (they are obligated to do so if they roll out an official OTA update, but right now the update's still in beta so we still have to wait).
So yes, the SU660 ICS can be ported to the P990 and even the P999, but you can't just take the compiled ROM and change a few lines. You need to work directly with source code.

I see, so has LG said that they'll be releasing the source code? (I am not familiar with this stuff)
Do they usually release kernel source codes?
Thanks in advance.

They have to release the source code, since android is open source. Or something like that. So yeah, they'll probably release it soon.

LG have to release source first!
