All hail! http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/4f85d9242667a85f?pli=1

How large are the hurdles to getting this up on the Xoom relatively soon? :cool:
[Xoom General] double1:
What's an ics? Jk Woooot! Give me my Roms.
[Xoom General] jamesa9911:
And Hc source too
[Xoom General] double1:
I don't think they're ever going to release hc source.

Edit: according to one source this release will include hc source. http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/14/...leased-sync-pending-go-ahead-f/#disqus_thread

Nice

OHYA!!!! good times
[Xoom General] mazodude:
Because of the way git works, the honeycomb source was released.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Interestingly enough they said there isn't tags for the Honeycomb source because it was incomplete and they want everyone to focus on ICS.
[Xoom General] dadoc04:
Super amped about this.... ill be refreshing the dev section all day tomorrow at work.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
Breaking news: Android hackers from XDA just cancelled their Holidays, days off and personal time, as they are rubbing their hands maniacally in front of the long-awaited sources getting slowly downloaded onto their machine. Details at 11.
[Xoom General] :
Awesome, CM9 for my Xoom, maybe the browser wont suck now :)
[Xoom General] knewman:
good news, anyone know if there are any devs still grinding away at the xoom tho?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yes...where have you been?
[Xoom General] solarnz:
... I'm working on it as we speak.
[Xoom General] idkwhothatis123:
Oh my god that is sexy...
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Awesome solarnz! I thought the fact only source for gsm/hspa was up would throw a wrench in it but you work magic! Can't wait for this on Xoom before a release date for VZW Gnex. Hate VZ right now but this brought a smile to my face
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
Jesus that was quick
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
nice work! :)

I was hoping that the update would come down to my wifi xoom but at this rate i won't have to wait!
[Xoom General] mrpdaemon:
Awesome solarnz! I wonder what is functional with the Xoom right after compile, I'm guessing not much?
[Xoom General] idkwhothatis123:
I'm down with a wifi only port...
[Xoom General] Phylar:
Yeah for server side Exchange search alone, I'd be happy with alot of hardware disabled, lol. And hopefully a much better browser.

Great solnarz, that made my night.

I have just built ICS for my Xoom Wi-Fi..

Probably cflags were wrong...

@solarnz, do you use tegra EGL libraries from Honeycomb?
[Xoom General] NooRotic:

[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I hope we get a 4G ICS rom :D
[Xoom General] Art1x:
I haven't got enough points to post in the developers forums, so I'll post here :o

I debugged my bionic binary and found that it crashes in __get_thread / __get_tls.

As far as I know, Tegra 2 has some hardware problems with the TLS register and NVIDIA makes some hacks for workaround this issue.

I tried to add ARCH_ARM_HAVE_TLS_REGISTER := false to the BoardConfig.mk, but it didn't help. I think next step is to check kernel version and TLS patches. Currently, my kernel is built from Tiamat 2.0 sources with almost stock Motorola config and there is no problems with Honeycomb...

I attached my build files (device/motorola/xoom), if somebody decided to build it.

@solarnz, I need your advice :)
[Xoom General] dasani:
Thanks to the devs already jumping on this !!!
[Xoom General] runandhide05:
Did u say bionic? Are u working on a aosp for bionic?
[Xoom General] Art1x:

[Xoom General] nitewalker033:
I love when devs give updates...
[Xoom General] Charlie_Don't_Surf:
That's odd. As a GExp device I figured that ICS would have most things working out of the box. Hmmm, doesn't matter anyway because you're almost there. ;)
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Not that odd, the Galaxy Nexus is the only official ICS device so I'm sure the source reflects that.

[Xoom General] skyyaa:
Thanks so much for what you do man. Is BRD still working on the Xoom too?
[Xoom General] madamimadam:
I would buy you a beer, but we don't want you drunk on the job. I'll by you a 6 pack when its up and running.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Dude, madamimadam your signature banner is stretching the thread tables.

On topic,

I've been waiting for source to put a ROM on my XOOM. Not that Tiamat isn't a fine ROM and an achievement to be able to do so much with limited resources, but I just feel better knowing a ROM is built from source code (and that will give me a chance to play around with stuff, too!)

Keep up the good work!
[Xoom General] Muffycheeks:
In a nut shell they have a long way to go, need team work
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I was hoping that the fact the Xoom used a very popular SoC (Tegra2) Google would at least provide some working drivers on AOSP, making our devs' work easier. :(

Maybe once one Tegra 2 device gets ICS, some of its drivers will be reusable to save solarnz and other devs some of the grunt work.
[Xoom General] compuguy1088:
At least in the US, the Motorola xoom updates are from Google (GED). Motorola is referring to other regions where they are responsible for updates (excluding the US).
[Xoom General] madamimadam:

[Xoom General] mrpdaemon:
Great progress! Looks very cool. The green flash when switching activities is weird, guessing graphics driver issue?
[Xoom General] SuperYeti420:
Looking awesome. I'm just doing my first build of ICS now :)
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Are your device/board files available anywhere? Can you provide them so I can try a build?
[Xoom General] solarnz:
Sorry, I won't be providing my device files until I have a functioning rom.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
OK, no trouble, I guess I'll have to play around with it myself. Thanks...
[Xoom General] xangma:
Keep it up =] I would help but it would take up more time than Skyrim already does and as said, the files aren't available. I can't wait.

@Art1X Did you ever figure out why it was giving you all the segmentation faults? I've been getting the same thing. I can get it to build just nothing boots and through logcat I get the same segmentation faults.

[Xoom General] Murphy2712:
Can you tell us what are the remaining issues?

My Xoom is mostly used for occasional big screen dev so I really don't mind if it's not working fully (I'd love to help testing too, I'm an Android dev if that can help).
[Xoom General] Tiger62651:
Well guy building rom on Droid bionic (by Motorola) now have a working release of ICS mostly working.

http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-bionic-gets-alpha-ice-cream-sandwich-rom
[Xoom General] Kippui:
That is good news, the bionic is running Tegra 2 so I hope that means we are closer to ICS for the xoom.
[Xoom General] runandhide05:
Bionic is not tegra 2, just fyi
[Xoom General] Tiger62651:

[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I don't think he meant to be rude or impatient, just wondering if he was progressing, didn't have time to work on it due to XYZ that might not be our business, or had run into issues (in which case people might volunteer to help if they can), since he's been completely silent since he posted that teaser screenshot. There's a difference between asking if there was any news update, and asking "when can I get it OMG I want it nownownow". I myself am curious on how this is going.

If he didn't want people to even ask about it, I'm sure he wouldn't have posted that teaser in the first place. :)
[Xoom General] Schaweet:
Completely silent?

He has posted two updates since the screen shot and one of them is a youtube video. That doesn't fall into the completely silent category IMO.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
Replace "screenshot" with "video" in my post. The last update was before that video, where he posted a list of things that worked and that didn't. That was two weeks ago.

Seriously, do we really need to be splitting hairs in four over this? This is ridiculous.
[Xoom General] Schaweet:
We don't need to split hairs. You just said he only posted a teaser screen shot. I was saying he has updated it twice since then. Just stating a fact.

If it is too long for you then why don't you jump in and create a usable build for everyone to use and do it in 3 weeks. While you are buried in code, make sure you jump on XDA and update all the people who can't code for **** and and sit back and arm chair quarterback and complain you aren't coding fast enough? Just sayin!

Be happy someone is working it this fast and leave the complaints at the door unless you can do better.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
No one said it was too long. Someone simply made a polite request asking if there was any news, and he got jumped on for it.

This is exactly what I do on my own coding projects (posting occasional progress reports on public forum), one of which involves homebrew firmware development. So I know what's involved, and I know it's impossible to give any ETA (which nobody asked in this thread) because troubleshooting can take 5 mins or 5 weeks, unlike a C++ cut-and-paste job where it's easy to tell your boss how long it will take to finish cut-and-pasting.

Just saying...
[Xoom General] christianpeso:
Dude, calm down. It was a simple question. Maybe u r having a bad day or something. I'v been around around long enough to not ask for ETA's. Was just asking about the status and how it was coming.

Now u just made yourself look crazy cause everybody else can see that it was just a simple question and u derailed the original topic by at least 5-6 posts. Congrats.
[Xoom General] rank78:
The guy just asked for an update, not tell anyone to hurry up. Damn get over it already instead of dragging it on and making it worse. :rolleyes:

[Xoom General] RMerlin:
They will definitely release it for the Xoom, but not sure when. I vaguely remember the mention of "a few weeks after the source code is made available", but I can't remember the source of that, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.
[Xoom General] mhausig:
Was it definitely the Xoom and not the XYBoard? They look alike but the XYBoard might be more ICS-ready due to the chipset.
[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
From http://www.motorola.com/blog/2011/12/07/motorola-update-on-ice-cream-sandwich/
[Xoom General] sodaboy581:
They do NOT look alike. That was clearly a XOOM. Also, the Xyboard uses a Tegra 2 same as a XOOM, so it's no more or less ICS-ready than the XOOM.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Nope, Xyboard is OMAP...
[Xoom General] sodaboy581:
Different websites seem to report different things. If it's OMAP, that makes more sense, but hopefully the bootloader won't be permanently locked.

BTW, here's what I was talking about... (I've only heard Tegra 2, but just Google'd OMAP)

[Xoom General] clamknuckle:
THE XYBOARD IS THE STUPIDEST ****ING NAME FOR ANYTHING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

Congrats Motorola.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I'm guessing it was Verizon since it's called the Droid Xyboard... Moto didn't name the OG Droid or any following, they're Milestone everywhere else...
[Xoom General] clamknuckle:
Could be, either way it's still the dumbest thing ever.
[Xoom General] flippingout:
Considering it was a Verizon Xoom that was showed off for the "first time" (there words) at LeWeb I would say it should only be a matter of time before we get ICS.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I bet someone at Motorola's marketing department has a serious speech impediment. He probably wanted to suggest "Zoom" and "Droid Cyborg", but it sounded like "Xoom" and "Xyboard", and so that's what got written down by his secretary.
[Xoom General] leofa:

[Xoom General] Murphy2712:
@solarnz

Any news on the AOSP ICS build for our loved Xoom?

Last one was November 21, what are the remaining issues?

If you don't have time to work on it anymore, please share your build/files, I (and maybe others here) will be happy to hack.
[Xoom General] LPHS:
He is still working.....

BRD has already posted that they are making some progress
[Xoom General] ScottRTL:
It seems weird to me that the xoom seems so far behind on ICS Dev... it should be the furthest you would think...

Looks like the HP Touchpad is further along then the xoom and it isn't even android native.

Is there anything your average person can do to help? I would love having even a really alpha build to test...

To reiterate before the wolves jump on me, I am not asking for ETAs, and I am not saying the work is not appreciated, I am asking if we can get a flashable build of ICS to put on our xooms so we can help. A large amount of people can make headway a lot faster then a small handful. I think that's why progress seems faster on other devices.

Thanks for your work.
[Xoom General] joe ferreira:
it is because it is tegra2 and the other devices are omap

Now that obviously the Galaxy Nexus has ICS and now the Nexus S is having it pushed out starting today... since this is a Google experience device I don't think it's going to be much longer until it pushes out for us.

Apparently the latest 4.0.3 AOSP can directly be built for the Xoom now:

For Xoom: I know that the camera and HDMI don't work. The rest of the

device seems functional (wifi, 3G, sensors, audio, OpenGL). There

might be some trickiness with the variety of bootloaders and

basebands, I haven't been able to test those broadly as Xoom is a bit

ticklish in that domain and you might need to edit your board-info.txt

accordingly.

I already gave up on the Xoom and moved onto the Playbook and Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 with a PNY 32GB Class 10 Card in it for $30. Portability is my thing now. The Galaxy Player fits in my back pocket (with PowerAmp and Equalizer) it is the BEST PMP on the Market. Has Netflix and Amazon Prime instant movies. My Moto Photon has Unlimited Mobile Hotspot (customer since 1997) and was GrandFathered in. 4G is Saturated in my area. I actually gave my kids the Xoom and 32GB HP Touchpad (Firesale).

Hi Guys,

Some News: Ice Cream Sandwich source code now being pushed to git servers

http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-source-code-now-being-pushed-git-servers

Will the devs here start work on implementing ICS on the 10.1v when a build for tablets is released? :)

Regards
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Sinijax:
Oh please do. I really appreciate all the work that has gone in to porting 3.1 for us, but as it is it still has a lot of problems. ICS being open source, it should be less painful to get it on 10.1v and make it stable...right?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] DannyBiker:
Depends, nothing is sure when it comes to ROM development, I learned that with time.

To me, the easiest way would be to get direct CM9 support or through the 10.1 tab.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms.brightside:
Soo there are a lot of Roms... I tried looking on XDA forums and such about Roms but all I'm getting is stuff like

-deoxed

-zipaligned.. statements. I don't know what is new in the Roms too much. I have a samsung Galaxy S2. Could someone please explain what the most popular roms up to date feature?

Also I was looking at flashing the Cyangenmod 7 rom or miui... any opinions on them? Or are there other awesome Roms I should know about? What I am currently looking for in a rom is customization as in themes and improved battery life... it doesn't matter if I can't get those 2 in one rom but it would be nice. I paticularly want customization more though. Last but not least, the most stable one for daily use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Cm7 and miui and two totally different roms, more different than the stock one you have on your phone now, its best to give them both a try and see which one you like. Cm7 is a pure android rom with none of samsung bloatware/features on it, miui is a iphone'ish looking rom based on cm7 with lots of theme'ing ability.

For battery life i would say the kernel and modem are the key, again you have to try a couple of each and see what works for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanicca:
Im running KJ4 (latest orange UK) stock, cf-rooted to remove all orange crap. I flashed speedmod and siyahs kernels but didn't notice any battery improvement so went back to cf. As for customization i use go launcher and change themes every so often
