Has it released the source code for 2.2 yet ?
If not, could you please direct me to where i should be monitoring.
I think i was looking at the right place because it had open source Tar.s and tgiz for t959D but not t959.
No, they have not:

It will say Froyo when they do, like the canadian Fascinate does.
Since they released 2.2 in US for the Vibrant, they have to release source as per GPL?

I was thinking the same, but it seems they can stretch it out 6 months before they truly have to release it.
Thanks for the replies guys !!

We all know that TMo has just rolled out the official Froyo on 21 and I'm wondering how much time will Samsung take to release source code for the Froyo?
The Telus Fascinate received it's source code about three weeks (14/01/11) after the official Froyo release (23/12/10)... so is it safe to assume that we'll be getting it soon too?
I just bought a DeLorean and will be converting it to a time machine over the next couple weeks. After I go into the future I will return and post the date at which Samsung released the source code.

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere, I did search.
So Eugene got his hands on the 2.2 source code. It was apparently leaked to him by a contact he has. So Sammy hasn't officially released the 2.2 source code?
So my second part of this question is this:
If Eugene has a leaked source code, why are there so many tests in his thread? I mean if it's the source code shouldn't it just work perfect once compiled?
I'm obviously no developer so that's why I have these "noob" questions. I just wanted to get some info on this subject of this source code Eugene has is all. Just don't understand all these tests if its the actual source and if it is the actual source code, why aren't the rest of the devs, including Cyanogen , jumping all over this and making ROMS based off it?
Thanks for any help regarding these questions of mine
The source that most are using is from either Euro9000 but then Samsung released the Captivate 959D (ATT) 2.2 source code. It is pretty close to our T-959 (TMO) and since that release in the last 10 days or so, every Dev has gone through this source code and updated their ROMS. The captivate and Vibrant are almost the same in build but not exactly the same.
To the second part, since they are not exactly the same... then testing to tweak it correctly for the Vibrant platform is necessary. That is why all the testing
Hope that helps
From what I've read source had only been mentioned in regards to the kernel, nothing else. I've also read that some of samsung's changes to the kernel have resulted in greater battery drain than the 2.1 kernel.

yay???!!! is this what weve been waiting 4??
I can't view the page from where I'm at but thats seems to be a link about the source code for the original Galaxy S phone (the euro gsm version) and the source code from that isn't our source code (although I think in the past some of the drivers from the orig galaxy S have been used in some of kaos/jt's builds?).
I’m not sure what has gotten into the folks at Samsung as of late, but they seem to be on top of their game. They dropped the source code for the DROID Charge and Fascinate last week, the Gingerbread update for the Galaxy S started rolling out for European users this weekend, and this morning, the source code for the aforementioned 2.3 update hit the Open Source Developers Center. Ergo, we can almost certainly expect to see some custom Gingerbread ROMs for the Galaxy S in the coming weeks.

maybe its the 2.2 code??? the ec10 and drippler just sux at ameking snese
Galaxy S != Fascinate
The source is for the i9000, not the SCH-I500
Its been said COUNTLESS times, the original i9000 isn't going to help with mostly everything on the Fascinate (i500).

Would it be possible to create a ice cream sandwich rom for the Viewsonic G tablet?
I dont think they have released source code, let alone a phone with the OS yet...
Quickly, I'll hold them off while you go hide!

try again.. Galaxy Nexus will have ics
They said tonight that the sdk will be released today

Aaaaaaaand the SDK is out.

Thus this is a valid question which I was going to ask myself
Its not a valid question yet. Once the source is released I hope we can see a stable ics room that's better than the hacked together honeycomb we have

I know this but the phone has only been announced, it hasnt been released into the wild yet, no one has one in their hands yet
well, except maybe a few reviewers here and there
pretty sure it wont hit shelves or stores for a few more weeks

Im not too sure if that will happen, from what im reading the devices that will support ICS are going to be gingerbread devices
If there isnt a gingerbread ROM/kernel it probably wont support ICS
at best it will be as stable as the most stable gingerbread ROM... so not too bad
Im wondering if it will work with the honeycomb kernel the devs are creating from scratch
Theoretically the tablet has the specs to run ICS but its a matter of Google making the source code open source. If it was anything like HC I think we're gonna be out of luck.
My understanding is that Google never intended to make Honeycomb open source in the hopes of avoiding people attempting to put HC on their phones. ICS should be open source, and Google has already stated several times from what i have seen that they intend to make the codes public. I don't see why we wouldn't have a decent ICS rom out in the next month or two.

At the very least we should probably see a CyanogenMod version, since its an officially adopted Tablet. I'm looking forward to it.
I doubt it. We don't have an official honeycomb rom so I don't see ics being supported at all on gtab... I truly believe development for our gtab is officially dead.

Well, considering that HC was never officially released as open source, I don't know why you would expect a full-featured ROM when the best that anyone could do was essentially a modified bootleg of an existing tablet's firmware. There a TON of G-Tablets out there thanks to the Woot sales, so I think it would be silly to assume that just because development has hit a lull for the last few months that it is totally dead. Give it a few months, and I bet we will see a good ICS ROM made available for our G-Tablets.
I highly doubt that the g-tablet is dead. I myself and one of my friends imported one of these just to get our hands on it.
It will only be dead if people believe that we don't want firmware for it. There is plenty people out there that are looking forward to newer firmare, we just quietly wait patiently for the master coders to do their excellent work.
TBH, I can't thank everyone here enough for the hours they put in to their hobbies. Greatly appreciated.
Google has officially stated that they WILL be releasing the source to Ice Cream Sandwich, so it's VERY likely that there eventually be multiple ICS ROMs (including Cyanogenmod) for the G Tablet.
It's out
I just read that Google has released the source code....

will we be seeing an ICS Rom for our Viewsonic G-tab now that the source code was released??

This tablet is on life support. ROM development is a small fraction of what it used to be a year ago. Updates are scarce. Be grateful for the value we got out of it over the past year.
The time to move on is fast approaching... and my eye is on the Asus Transformer Prime.

Part of that is to blame on no Honeycomb source, why would devs waste time reverse engineering when they could wait for ICS? Someone will make an ICS ROM, the lull has been to blame on their actually being NOTHING to do on this device with no Honeycomb source.
Now if those Nvidia drivers end up being a pain, it might be another story.

You can blame the lack of source code, I think I'll stick with blaming Viewsonic for not pushing at all to get drivers or any type of updates to us on this device. Without Viewsonic or Nvidia providing drivers we're going to be in for a rough ride.
Samsung released the ICS kernel sources for the euro version N7000 2 days ago, just go here and search for "n7000"
Nothing for our i717 yet. There is an "Inquiry" link on the right of every file, allowing to request sources for a device. So, my question is - is it allowed/legal to request release of the ICS sources, given the fact ICS for our phone still hasn't been officially released?
Doesn't hurt to try. Although if I were them, I'd be asking...who are you to ask?
My guess is that once the official ICS OTA is out from at&t, they'll release the sources to the public.

The beauty of GPL is that there is no criteria/requirements for any credentials. Anyone is allowed to ask for a source code of a software released under GPL, and the developer must provide it, no questions asked.
It's allowed..
Fat chance them actually giving it to you, the gpl does not apply to software that has not been released to the public...
but you're allowed to ask, not like the feds are gonna raid your bedroom from a simple question.
And once it's released, you don't have to ask, it's just posted for all to download.
Word son. lol but asking for source early is probobly even more of a joke to sammy then asking for leak
