Its sad that the Nexus one wont be getting any official updates but I still have my hopes high about 3rd party roms. I just wanted to ask if anyone is determined to port it to the good ol Nexus?
You can check the development forums, there is already work being done. As far as a full port that probably wont be done till the source is released to AOSP. That should not happenen until after the Galaxy Nexus is officially released.
After the source is released I'm sure there will be ROM's developed for N1. It is still a good phone that plenty of people including deb's use. I would guess about 2 weeks or so after the source code gets released there will be ICS ROM's ready to be flashed.

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!
will ics come to Tab unnoficially ported? Is anyone looking into it?

Unlikely- but possible, eventually. Do not expect anything fast, at the least, and if it does come sometime next year, it will NEVER come to the p1010
UP!
Hope the day come shortly.
It depends a lot on Google releasing the full source code of ICS. Considering that this version supports all device sizes (unlike Honeycomb) we may see the full code drop, as Google should have no fears about fragmentation anymore with this version.
On the other hand, if only partials are released, as was the case with Honeycomb, we may never see it happen or we may see it as late as winter 2012, two years after the P1000 release. Few devices still receive full attention on XDA two years after their release date and more than a year after the release of next generation devices.
I honestly like Gingerbread on the P1000. It's running fine and all functionality works well. It has a good battery life and a lot of power cramped in such a small package.
We'll have to wait and see,
C.
In other words chances are slim for an official release. I am on 2.3.7 which is a nexus s port (Boca) and very happy. The nexus s will get ICS soon so if Dizgustapatid gets his new computer we may be very lucky to see a release

Hopefully we will see this once the source is released
Hey guys
I am soon going to buy this phone, in a day or two, and I was just wondering if it will be officially supported by CM9. If it won't be, I might not buy this phone. Any solid information?
Thanks
there are no guarantees for anything
im sure that cm9 will be developed for the note once the sources are fully available and less buggy
There may be no guarantees but what are the chances that it will..? There are already experimental builds being used by some people, right?
Since there already is an experimental build I'm pretty sure there will be officially supported version eventually.
Hope so.
Hello
I'm reading a lot of comment about people never buying a SAMSUNG phone again on this forum.
I believe it has something to do with CM team ( who are these guys? ) and the CPU type and source code.
Could you please care to elaborate? As I am planning on upgrading to GN2 but ofc I need root access and the latest OS all the time
Thank you.
Which post are you refering to? I just seem to see post saying how awesome the Note 2eand SIII are!

It's not just 1 post,
All around the forum , especially in the GN forum ( where I spend most of my time ) I see people complaining about Samsung devices in the future and how they will never buy another samsung again ...
I guess it all depends whether or not you want to run CM custom roms on your device.
Furthermore Samsung promised to release the Exynos sources...So we'll just wait and see
Problem ist that the source code is no available and without no new CM AOSP AOKP Roms possible. The company said in the past that they will release the code, but till today they don't.
Other companies like Sony did it better and supports the community. That's also a reason why great Dev won't work for our Note...
It's not impossible to bring new roms without sourcecode - we still have CM10 and will get CM10.1 - but the experience is not the best, and devs have to put A LOT of work to even make it work.
Samsung promised they will release their sources - yet untill today - they didn't. So it's simple as that, if they release sources - devs might finally fix some bugs and push CM10 into stable. Without sources we might never go out of nigthlies because some bugs might never get fixed.
As for SONY, yes they release all their sources, but remember that they used to be like Samsung untill their market share shrinked, so now they're most likely just trying to appeal to customers with that. Hope they won't change their mind about it when/if their sales go high again ( I'm looking at you Xperia Yuga )

Very true, but I think they don't give a ....about a few devs and users being frustrated when they sell millions of devices...Like most of the big selling companys

Samsung didnt want the devs to work for the android community because in the end it gives an advantage to google and its os. Samsung wants people to buy its phones because of their new features added in their TW that are not available on true android. They in the future wants their devices ti be free from the android pool. Because of the tiring update process. No source code release is just what keeps dev from moding their devices so they can market their new phones and limit those features in the old models. I dont think they will care about dev going to other vendors. Because once they got hold of a new indigenous OS. they will market its dev kits and hardware for developers and they know how to bring them back.

Hello developers.Dont want to be annyoing but I'm new to this devicee and i kinda like it and tried lots and lots of roms for it, and you know that android L/Lollipop is coming soon out, and i want to ask if anyone is gonna like port it to our device because i know some really good developers like the major tonyp and other ones.So if yes i would be really really hyped for it like many other lol
i think that for the reply we have to wait CM12(?)sources comes out,but as i understood in the past our phone is supporting kitkat with a base that starts from ics sources,so we must wait and maybe isn't possible to port, but also for me it will be interesting if the devs can port a rom with lollipop.By the way i was thinking that we are running also some old version of the gapps to make it work with our device due to missing neon support(like youtube or google search for ex.),so don't know if it's possible

We had to wait 3 months for CM11 M1 to come out after KitKat was released, and knowing that Lollipop is quite a large overhaul and that it fully uses the ART runtime, we can expect a larger delay for CM12 M1. And even when it comes out, it will be almost featureless. As far as I know, Lollipop sources haven't been yet released, so we'll have to wait and see.
Second, yes, we are running on old ICS sources, so unless the 3.x kernel becomes super stable so we can use newer drivers, if they are available for our device, we'll have a bad time.
Third, this is a subforum for Development Discussion, so this kind of thread is more welcomed in the General Discussion section or even Q&A.
Keep on modding Other than that, KitKat development has been quite amazing in the last few months, and considering that the O2X is a device released in 2011, we are more than been blessed regarding this device. Ludnica, brate, ludnica.
Jes jes hahaha. Well whatever happens we will maybe be able to get something of it.I will try my best.I dont rly know much about coding but i know some stuff and i am learning every day more and more so yeah.I hope if we all combine our inteligence we will get something.
Oh and the sources should be out on i think November 5th
Testing Platform available
I like the idea of L for P990. I recently bought a new phone. That spares my P990 for testing full time as I have another phone for regular use. Please let me should you like to test anything, I will happily share the results. The least I can do to aid further development.
