yeah ander webbs and benbuarcher both tweeted it yesterday
i told em both they need to port it to the slide haha
but ya pretty cool eh?
Cyanogen is working on CM6 which is 2.2 based.
CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide
lol i got a 2.2 working on my slide... well truthfully it flashed, it installed, it booted... thats as far as i got in a night of messing with it.. had to spend most of the night installing cygwin and downloading updates, because ubuntu 10.04 couldnt extract my system tree properly >.< but i got it done.. i still gotta do a TON to it if i wanted to make it a daily, but cm will be out soon, so whats the point??

Sorry for posting here, but I caught wind from the Aria forums that CM6 would be ported to the Aria as soon as it's available.
So here I am ... wondering if there's any potential timeline for a CM6 release.
Sure would be nice if Cyanogen would include Aria in the CM6 target list.
@chrissoyars said yesterday there IS NO TIMELINE for cm6. when it happens it happens. just keep watching and waiting

The source has only been out for a little over 24 hours and people are asking when it's gonna be released already! haha. Not pickin on ya, it's just funny what kind of demand there is.
Also, as for the Aria, I'm sure there will be a skilled dev somewhere that will port CM6 over to that device as well as others in time.

I'm pretty sure he is. Everyone is interested in froyo. But he still has a few projects on his table already. So it might just take a little bit of time. I can't wait for CM6 though but I much rather them make it stable then have it like my stock HD2. hahaha

Awesome news! The faster we can get dalingrin the updated kernel source the better!
Does complying with the gpl allow for a reasonable delay? Because once you get into grey areas like that, what's reasonable? 2 weeks? 3 months?
Obviously they have the source already, so I don't understand when companies release it some time afterwards.
Aye. I hate the "weeks" portion.. given that its out, i dont think its unfair to demand it now. As it is though, i think the GPL gives 60 days (??) for them to publish the code though, so it may be a while.
Not sure if I don't understand the complexities or everything all the devs here do, but what are the possibilities of the deeper-blue Honeycomb ROM being updated to use a modified version of the 2.2 Nook Color kernel instead of the current 2.1 Nook Color kernel? I assume this would help in getting some items like Flash video etc working properly in the Honeycomb ROM.
Or is the goal still to wait for whenever the 3.0 honeycomb full source is released? Just thinking out loud. Interested to see what others have to say.

Hopefully the source will help dalingrin, verygreen and fattire cut through the current mysteries with the .32 development kernel for CM7.
Seems like a lot of progress was made without B&N's help (smart developers), but even if only a few optimized drivers can be poached that is better than nothing.

As i replied, the anxious part of me does not understand any delay really, other than trying to keep the source code away from us "hackers" for as long as possible. The code is obviously in use, so why not release it?
Ah well..
There are probably lawyers hemming and hawing over them releasing it. They probably are trying to ensure that they haven't violated some other patent/copyright in their code which they actually might get sued over.

Perhaps, but the code is already shipping - its not to say an update can't get pushed out, but just because we can't see the source, doesn't mean current violations are excused.
As it is, the linux kernel is GPL; they can't not release it. So again, i am still frustrated at the hold up...
Probably just the usual corporate speed. They don't like to publish anything before they have to, if only for liability and exposure. Probably the last thing on the rollout list, too.

We are actually very close to having a good .32 kernel already. Some of us have been using .32 full time I think. Verygreen did most of the work on the port. He scrapped my .32 work and started over.
We only need a few updated drivers from them and we'll be good. So I expect a prompt release once we have B&N source.

The clock/governor issue is because only the performance governor is compiled into the kernel right now. The broken SD warning is mostly fixed and I believe the same for the battery.
BETA ICS 4.0.X Brought to you by Team DRH is NOW AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE! (And if you don't know where elsewhere is you don't deserve it )

IceCreamSandwich is now available brought to you by the genius's that make up Team DRH! Due to the Teams wishes no direct links shall be posted so if you want it you will have to do one of the following:
1. Go over to -that other site-, find the Gtab section and the ICS Beta thread and download it, OR
2. wait for it to be officially posted on XDA here (which I have no idea when it will happen.)
and that's all I have to say on the matter. This here post can be found later in the thread but I'm quoting it here as well for convenience:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Sorry I haven't updated in a while! been a bit busy but I come bearing wonderful news! in the last 2 months development has shifted entirely from Honeycomb to IceCreamSandwich and rather than the .36 kernel it's being built with the .39 kernel. While this may sound like it would take a lot longer it really isn't due to the source code for ICS being released so the devs don't have to jump through hoops trying to get stuff to work.
The reality of it is that it's a heck of a lot easier to get ICS working than it would be to have continued with HC3.2. and ICS IS working. Fosser2 said that there's a possibility that a public beta build MIGHT be released next week if everything goes well. (so we can cross our fingers and hope). I believe everything BUT the camera is working now so they are likely just polishing some things up and making sure it won't kill out tablets before releasing anything publicly.
Here's a couple videos made by one of the alpha testers to wet your whistles.

Old Updates from Honeycomb
It appears that the folks over at Slatedroid have gotten the the .36 kernel to boot into Linux and Honeycomb 3.2 on our tabs! This is great news cause this will give them the ability to see what they need to change in the kernel to get full Hardware Acceleration!!! For the ones that don't know, the .36 kernel is the magical kernel that gives honeycomb hardware acceleration on our chips. He's a quote from the dev thread:
UPDATE 11/24
So Ch3vr0n5 over at SlateDroid has posted that they are accepting 20 applications for alpha testing the .36 kernel. Space is limited so make sure to read this thread over on SD if you wish to apply
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/25230-bl-12-26363-development-alpha-testing-112411/

Update 10/05/11
We have ALL the nvidia proprietary drivers working in the .36 kernel now. The streak image would have been useful if it had the same accelerometer as we do , but it doesn't.
I'm not sure what sound chip the streak 7 has, but if it was the same as ours it would be useful.
Each manufacturer has the ability to use whatever sensor devices they want. This also changes how they are connected to the tegra2.
Update:
Wake from sleep fixed, I was trying to get the lowest power sleep mode to work, but it seems to be an issue in the bootcode embedded in the tegra2. There is a workaround but the bootloader needs to support it, which is why I was trying the hannspad 1.3 bootloader.
lp1 isn't bad however, my tab slept all night and woke up with a full battery.
There is a really annoying error on the i2c bus at the moment causing the capacitive keys not to work. (really, really annoying)
The heat issue seems to be wifi related, others are not having the same issue.
Once the i2c issue is fixed then most of the kernel issues are done.
Sound is likely a mix of kernel and rom issues.

Reminder:
guys, can you make sure people dont use my hannspad kernel on the gtab.
.36 doesn't use the ODM like .32 does, so things like gpios, buses and regulators look a lot more device specific now.
I'm concerned you could do some damage by using it.
obviously happy for you to use the rom, its roughly based on VC9,with some Adam changes and pulls from the a500, but you really need a gtab kernel,to play with it.
I've used some of treznorx changes in my repo, (hell I've even been that lazy i haven't bothered changing his file names yet)so there's obviously shared ground, and I'm happy to pay it back how I can...
it looks like mohan has a pretty solid gtab kernel built now.
have fun ..

Update 09/28/11
Yes that is currently how we are testing the kernel by injecting the kernel into the Vegacomb ROM and making a change in init.harmony.rc; however, once we get closer to a polished product we will give tlbardeljr and anyone else who is interested notice so they can starting tinkering away at 3.2 for a future release. We should have an alpha test version out in a week or so but don't hold us to that
Cheers
Also the flashback team have finally responded!! Here is a quote:
"Give it a few weeks when this kernel is complete the Flashback team or other modders will probably make a 3.2 port."
Flashback: We are all ready tabletcraze just have not been posting here because dont want to distract from your work. (awesome job to all of you!)
I do expect there will need to be framework changes. Newbe and the vega guys are digging through these now so a lot have been fixed already.
If there is anything you guys want me to do now just let me know.....otherwise I will go back to staying out of your hair so you can continue the awesome work.
So keep a lookout for a flashback update soon after this kernel releases!!

Ok, I have been gone for a while dealing with stuff but the dev team has been trucking along and we have new contributors. Currently I think we are actually moving to a 2.6.38.3 base instead of 2.6.36.3 because it just likes our tablet much better. Yay! rootfs Ubuntu is booting and touchscreen works with wifi so I feel we are closer to our end goal, booting android and having full HW acceleration.

Yesterday, I got a few debug logs from the 4950 and Pershoot's .43 kernel. With those, we think we will be able to bridge the gap and have something that will boot on Android.
The biggest hurdle right now seems to be related to the clocks since the frequencies are different from 2.6.32 and 2.6.36.
If anyone is playing with the kernel and got some debug logs or more information, do not hesitate to send it to us."

Actually, it's not a port of VegaComb 3.2 (Honeycomb 3.2) they are working on as the title suggests.
They are just in the beginning stages of trying to convert the Adam .36 kernel that Rayman did. Rayman had to rewrite various drivers for the Adam hardware (which is similar to, but not the same as ours) to get it working on the Adam. Hopefully they can do the same for ours.
Update 08/25
@aabbondanza
yes you are right atm but none of our honeycomb ports are built to use hardware acceleration(even though they can be changed to do so). So that means our only option for testing is vegacomb. So if they get it to boot vegacomb then that will be our first rom with HW ACC and the others can rewrite their already made honeycomb ports to use the new kernel

Granted, a VegaComb 3.2 port would be great, but, no one has gotten it to work on the gTab and no one has announced that they are working on a VC 3.2 port.
Our current HC roms are operating on .32 kernels that don't fully support HC, while Rayman has created a .36 HC kernel that supports full h/w accelleration on the NI Adam (another close cousin of the gTab as the Vega is).
Even the guys over at Slatedroid who trying to convert the Adam .36 kernel discussed trying to use the Vega release as a starting point but decided that since the Adam kernel now supports full hardware accelleration & that Rayman had offered assistance if needed, that would be easiest route to getting this working on the gTab.
IMO, the first step in achieving full accelleration is going to be switching a .36 kernel. Once we have a working gTab .36 kernel then we should look forward to newer versions of Honeycomb & or Icecream Sandwich.
Yes you are right sorry I guess that I didn't understand your last post lol Thank you for going into more detail

Title is still kind of misleading. Kernel programming is no simple task. They are at the very beginning stages. I'll be much more excited when they start making progress. Hats off to them though because I surely couldn't do it. At this point they appear to be wavering between continuing to work with the Adam kernel or maybe switching to the Vega one.

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

Yes it was useful Thank you. any other Sense porters please contact us.
I know a little about this but not enough to do it myself yet.
Thank you in case of that you want to help.

I think he needs a little rest...
racht said that he will port HTC kernel and that means fully working Sense rom as soon as he's back.
I don't know where he is or what is he doing, but he's on xda often. (last activity today).
And I think he's getting Xperia Ray - his post here. Also that's the last thing he posted.
Anyway, the man will spoke, and we shoud donate to him a new device if he's selling his one. To continue development. But, we need to wait until the man spokes!!
I appreciate racht so much, and I hope he doesn't forget our X8.
OH.

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Great to see your alive Racht! And whut o:? does this mean that this rom is a fully working CM7 release like my Blade has?
And Yes, I've heard about the basics of porting sense.
Even trough you would be the best teacher.
Does this mean That Your Leaving the Shakira forums now racht?

As he wrote, he wouldn't be developing sense on X8. That's bad. Anyone want to take care of this project?
Blagus said that we have to port HTC kernel first, but it's .32 or newer kernel. We have only .29 now. Therefore it follows that we can't have sense on X8 now.

is stable but not complete!
It´s just the FXP 030, AFAIK.
A few months ago I heard about a company called CornerStone that was demoing TRUE multitasking on Android. It was pretty awesome. It allowed you to run up to 3 apps simultaneously on the screen and you could easily interact with each of them. Check out the video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX8w3UZIjkc
Just when I thought this project was dead, they dropped a big bomb. Now OnSkreen (which was suppose to be reserved for big manufacturers to use) is now OPEN SOURCE! That means devs can bake this into their ROM and we, the users, can enjoy awesome multitasking capabilities! This is gonna be awesome! Can't wait to see where this goes.

excellent. who shall undertake the job? i would if i knew how, still just barely learning android development. but at least in apk form, we wouldnt need to wait for roms and bootloaders. and i could also get it on other non prime devices
Very nice! Can't wait to see this in a future prime ROM.
what if we modified one of the updates and trick the prime into thinking the modified source was an update? Im no developer but couldnt that work?

Wrong thread. Plus it won't work. Was already tried before n didn't work. Plus no matter how you modify it, prime will still view it as an older update.

No, it cannot. This mod needs deep integration into the android framework. It's not possible only with an apk.

how is it in the wrong thread if its directly relating and responding to OP? What if it were done to a new or current update (for instance, i still have not done the 13 update, insert it into there and update, the prime sees it as a newer update, i get mods working)

No, you can't modify the update files. They are checked for integrity prior to flashing.

This is awesome! Really puts the convenience over the top. Putting this on the TFP would make it a true laptop replacement...how hard would it be to throw this into stock ICS?

Exactly. Per a quote from the Cornerstone Facebook page:
Cornerstone
We've had a bunch of questions about this so wanted to clear it up. The technology behind Cornerstone has to be part of the Android OS itself. That is why we are working directly with device manufacturers to include Cornerstone with devices they plan to ship. Cornerstone is not an application that you will be able to download from the Android Market.

I agree def not through a normal apk however I have seen some crazy **** done BY applications with root access... Could you not make a sort of installer that would use root access to wrote the needed files to the proper directories?
