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".

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

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.

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

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.

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
Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it looks like the 3.2 source code has been released:
http://groups.google.com/group/andr...1c225a11f5/6410b44798c19d61?#6410b44798c19d61
and
http://m.androidcentral.com/android-32-gpl-code-pushed-aosp
this is just the parts used for the 3.2 update that are using the GPL license, that requires
the source code to be available when the software is shipped.
Oh, gotcha. Oh well.. I had hoped it might be something useful
pretty sure google has said multiple times that honeycomb source will not be released. Going to have to wait till ICS for a truly customizable tablet platform
Yes, sadly we will not have 3.2 until samsung releases it or someone hacks a xoom rom to run on the gt10.1.

Does anyone have new news about official cyanogenmod for galaxy mini???
is there gonna be official cyanogenmod for galaxy mini???
I don't have any news, but official means nothing special I think..source merged so our mini's source will be automatically updated....and some1 has to just compile it n give us a link to download. Think the official part does just that.
It's not going to be built again.

Hopefully all bugs should be fixed in the official version.
Yes, you guyz are right... All known bugs will be fixed in official version. Also, now the developers at the cyanogen team will take care of the upgrading our code and then provide cm7 for download to flash in our rom... Our device support is included in one of the nightly build (and all releases after that too.). But don't know when will they release a stable build. Maybe within a month or two --not sure--............
Let's wait and see!!!
so after one month I'm asking myself the same question...does anyone have news about official cyanogenmod? they seem to have forgotten about us...
Maybe they will provide official version for CM9 !!

I don't think there is going to be official build.
They can only do that when they have the device..tj's source was merged so the changes could be synced automatically.
But now they are working on cm9 so it's back to square one.
Official or not it doesn't matter..even official build have bugs.
If it's official u won't have the extra features that squadzone's cm7 has.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Squad's one is a release candidate, which means that is candidate to be an official release...I think that it will be official, but the team will work on it only after cm9 release for the other devices...
Is it right?
Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 usando Tapatalk
I think you should ask either CyanogenMod team or squadzone himself.
Being official doesn't necessarily mean it's bug-free.

You are right for the most part, however the saying you can't get extra features squadzone's cm7 has is not totally correct.
Squadzone himself is a member of team hacksung (which is Cyanogen depart. for Samsung devices -according to squad). So, you can consider his releases as nightly build for official CM7. Also, squad is only building rom from cm7 source code which is now merged with our's too whenever it is updated (and it is done daily) for other devices. So, basically it means all these features are from official rom and you could get them even if the rom was released by somebody else.
The one benefit of being official is that our cm7 source code is updated by CM Team members so we can also get all the new features when squad zone compile and release the builds.
@yagya
U mean the center clock and similar stuffs are there on official builds?
Afaik those are added by squad/teamhacksung and devs as per their wish and not a part of the official builds.

what i meant was this(may not have been clear) :
firstly some dev does some mod.
secondly others use it, if good then it is submitted to gerrit.
thirdly it is reviewed, merged and becomes official.
yes. i totally understand...was just looking at it.
but some are not agreeing to it...looks like it'll take time for all of them to be merged.
I don't know, may be it's will come soon

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.

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!

Slayer, BmC, and myself have been poking at it since launch. Most of our work has been going on thru emails or irc. The next couple weeks should be interesting. Right now we are fighting a framebuffer issue, once we have that resolved things will start moving faster.
