After hopping around the internet, I stumbled upon Inferno (OS) which is similar to Java but based off of Plan9.
It does support ARM and virtualization via the DisVM. I was wondering if it was possible to port it to hardware like the droid, since it's already on the DS and Openmoko. And if so, would anyone be willing to work with me on trying to develop this?
PS: I would post relevant links but the forums won't let me just yet.
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!
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.
Ok so I am was browsing the net and suddenly I got curious to look for atrix hd roms.
I did find things that were little patchy, however I could get some source but somehow or other that rom is protected by questions. Which definitely reffered as service not available in your country.
My hopeful enquiry is has someone any other source.
If you do please share.
not available
i have also seen for the rom on web but its not available because if it will be available then CM will be first to launch it and after that any developer can use that code to create more custom MM roms.
no news at all guys?
Hey guys !
I've seen that the sources for the P10 were released last month, and since I didn't see anything here, I was wondering if we might see an AOSP ROM popping up on it in the near future, or if somebody was planning on working on one.
Thanks
