Updated 22.4.12

Team Hacksung Progress : Xplodwild & Entropy

As per Entropy:

Video hwaccel - working

GPS - Working, although GLONASS is either not being used or just reporting as not locked even though it is. Samsung's sat status interface in ICS is mangled, I need to bring gpswrapper over to this device to see what the deal is.

Stylus - Working with apps like Quill that support the standard Android 4.0 stylus API. (Haven't really tested anything else, but I know S-Pen API apps will not work and it's going to stay that way.)

Camera - untested, probably not working, I tried to implement Torch and it did not play well

Updated 21.4.12

stage 1 complete.

stage 2 complete - device ordered. project is ON!!

stage 3 complete - device has arrived already! Dev XplodWild is beginning with his kernel project on the device.

*** News - As xplodwild is waiting for his device to come back after repair... the amazing entropy is progressing with the kernel project based on xplodwilds work ... please read the last few pages of the thread for detailed updates ! ;)

Dear Friends,

I was in touch with my dear friend developer @xplodwild who is an integral dev member at TeamHacksung who are developing CM9 for the Galaxy series.

Xplodwild has been developing an open source kernel for the galaxy s2, and he would like to develop an open source kernel for the Galaxy Note as well now. Since the hardware is pretty similar except for certain changes, this can be achieveable quite fast.

- Up-to-date forever kernel :

Up-to-date forever kernel : The Kernel shall remain up to date forever, even after samsung or google come out with android 5.0+, and even when kernel will reach version 3.4.0

There is no need to wait for wait or beg samsung to release their sources. After all android and our community is all about sharing and developing with each other.

- Community supported :

The project will be open source and community supported, so we can take this is another level really.

- The advantage of having "Updated drivers"

- Once we have open source updated kernels and drivers, the developers can continuously work on new roms, ports and developments. and Don't have to wait for ics or other leaks from the company itself. Usually the ports don't have something or the other working (like camera, usb etc.) because the kernel sources or drivers are not available. Once we have this project running soon, we will never see an issue with future android builds or ports etc.

- Ability to do Mods

- Maybe samsung will never release sources or will release very late for each release. We don't need to be dependent on them

I would like to Thank "PopAds" and the community for supporting and making this happen. We have in a record time (less than 24 hours) collected enough to buy a note for the development, and now we head towards the 2nd stage.

Thank you!!

Since, SGS2 and Note are similar so it should take some days to have it running, then it'll follow the same progress as GS2.

Check out xplodwild's sgs2 thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23462307 , you can see how he is making significant progress everyday and its coming to stable use very soon! :)

The open source kernels can be used on AOSP / Samsung Roms (with slight mods) / and CM9 based roms, for Android 4.0 +

Lets create our own community based, community driven samsung open source development program.
