May I suggest changing the thread title to [Bounty] Honeycomb Port? The title "Bounty" is more consistent with other bounty threads I've seen here on XDA.

Once official is released (not SDK), I have $40 for a working CDMA port.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
All I gotta say is, how in the world does the nook get a honeycomb port and we're left in the dust.....wtf! Thats an ebook reader
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
Obvisouly a very open and easy platform to mod. Hopefully After the 2nd we will have something to work w/.
[Galaxy Tab General] urbanengine1:
Ahhh... i assume you haven't seen the development on the nook color honeycomb port then :D
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
That's not true. You can get make a working rom from SDK builds, but it'll (probably) be laggy and a lot of things won't work as it should. The wonders they've done on the Nook is amazing IMHO. Hats off to them.

If someone ports honeycomb to the Galaxy tab, I will first buy a Galaxy tab immediately... and then donate to whoever did it!
[Galaxy Tab General] BenF1:
I'll throw £20 into this!
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Oh I've seen it. Whilst impressive, it's still a glorified tech demo. It's certainly not very useful as a full system.

Pretty sure that's basically what I said. "virtually useless" = "lot of things won't work as it should". The usual suspects of GPS and Camera will be high on that list.

If people are happy with a system with very few native apps which is slow & unstable (ala the Nook "port"), then sure, go for it. Otherwise you're still going to be waiting for AOSP to drop, (which may be later today, but I'm not holding my breath), or for an official firmware to rip apart. Then someone needs to hack the hardware-specific drivers into life on the tab, might be a piece of cake if the 2.x source is friendly with the 3.0 libraries, someone more coding-minded would need to assess that one.

I'm all for someone hacking something together to have a play with to see what it looks like, I just hope people aren't expecting a release-quality port based off an SDK "demo".
[Galaxy Tab General] plvaulter06:
Scratch that... I bought one today haha
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Ill put down $25
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
ill give $100
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
I'd give and keep giving as long as development continues, I would love a fully functional honeycomb port. To be honest I'm dying to get something as smooth and fast as cyanogen on my tab cause I hate the fact that my nexus one performs better than my tab, faster, and has more features than my tablet =\ especially since the tablet has more powerful hardware. I can't wait for honeycomb and I'd freakin subscribe if there was a donation subscription.

Well of course not. The baseband is completely different. However the nexus one rom has been ported.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
My point exactly. A lot would have to be changed. Enoguh so, that you might as well start from scratch. What rom was ported to what? :confused:

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] Parastie:
Okay, so maybe 'ported' is going a little bit too far. How about, parts of the nexus one rom was used to enable full hardware support on stock builds of android for the desire. :)

Still though, I really wish I actually had a GT to try to get honeycomb to work. Anyone near enough to Poland that would trade for an HTC Desire and maybe an original iPhone? :D
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
That was your post a replied to, I thought you meant using the Nexus S rom for the Tab(?) My mistake if not :p But I'm familiar with swapping Nexus/Desire rom parts over, I have a Desire too. Thus I have no need for another, and especially not an iPhone ;)

when

When will we see a working port ?

i so wish someone would take up the chalenge, someone with the required talent that is !

havingf tried Honeycomb on my HTC Desire i rekon Honeycomb is made for the mk1 Galaxy Tab, 7 inch is perfect!

i live in hope !!!

.

.
[Galaxy Tab General] vamp6x6x6x:
I am still hoping also.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
it's WAY better than rear speakers. high frequencies are very directional. so all the highs are lost on the xoom - it's really apparent when you use a device with rear speakers (such as the hero).

the tab's speakers are outputting from holes in the bottom or right (depending on angle) so as long as you cup your hand on it then the sound is directed forward to your head perfectly. when you hold the tab landscape, put your hand on the right side but not right against the body, voila.

on the xoom you're hooped.

since we can't have front facing speakers (yet) I think samsung made a fairly good decision.

however if they'd been REALLy clever they've have just slightly modded their case design with 45 degree reflectors and speaker grills on the FRONT of the case. but the current tab design is still the best solution I've encountered so far among tablets.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheDub:
Honeycomb is 100% possible. I'm no expert on the subject but most of the Galaxy S's have some form of AOSP android at least mostly working (Vibrant/Epic/Captivate) and with the tab such identical hardware we could at least review that source to learn how to make things work.

All it takes is all of the developers getting together. What we really need is a Honeycomb Galaxy Tab team.... nothing is impossible.

On a side note... the device doesn't necessarily need Honeycomb.. it's just a fancier version of what ours already does.
[Galaxy Tab General] cruiserbax:
All of those ports like CM7 require AOSP source. we still do not have HC source... all the current HC ports or from the SDK and have limited functionality.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
At least you can shield your hand around it to redirect it :p

[Galaxy Tab General] roy8846:
When is source likely to release?

Based on previous releases like 2.1 etc?

Will add $20 to the pot for a sweet HC rom.
[Galaxy Tab General] :
I dont think its a question of money guys. And besides, when you get down to it, honeycomb isnt THAT different from regular android 2.2, especially now that I have Launcher Pro installed. I love my Xoom to death, but after picking up a tab at a ridiculous price today, I have to say the Tab is the much more portable and probably more useful device. If I have 2.2, I will live. As long as I have flash and jit, that will be good enough for now until the new gaming requirements for the next gen games include gingerbread and honeycom. Relax guys, honeycomb is cool and all, but at its core, its still just Android!!!!! Same Apps. Same basic UI. And alot less apps work!
[Galaxy Tab General] pawces:
what he said ^^^

though it would be nice to be able to use the latest version of Android, i prefer to be on the tried and tested version for a while before upgrading. Besides, we bought our tabs for what it could do now, not what it could possibly do in the future - that's just icing on the cake, that is already very sweet as it is!
[Galaxy Tab General] finalmaster2k:
I will donate 5 €
[Galaxy Tab General] macstibs:
I still think fundamentally that the 7" form-factor is significantly more useable on the road.

Would love to see Honeycomb running on the Tab and would throw something into the pot for a useable port, but it's not a deal-breaker without it.
[Galaxy Tab General] daml:

[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Well, seeing as it actually looks like this is going to happen now due to the stellar efforts of SpaceMoose1 over here - people might want to start putting their promised pledges aside for such time as the pending(?) release happens.

Easiest way is probably for folks to be honest and send their pledges directly to SpaceMoose1 via his "Donate to me" button. Again, assuming it all works out ok.

Even my broke-ass self should be able to scrounge a bit of coin for the guy.
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
honecomb is amazing, even if samsung said they would only do it if i paid 100 bucks for the official upgrade I'd do it. of course i'd rather give money to one of the devs here so hopefully all of these promises will incentivise(sp?) someone
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
What samsung is not going to put honeycomb on the tab and we have to pay if we want it. Hell I would rather pay a dev the money like you.
[Galaxy Tab General] IP IHI II IL:
hmmmmmmm...

I'm down to kick in for any dev who can port HC, but ONLY if it's not a half assed, rushed port just for the clams...

I tend to feel that Bounties kinda' jack up and rush the processes, but I guess even a half assed attempt will give the devs something to work with, huh?
[Galaxy Tab General] myellow:
for all developers,

700US donation for a FULL functional Honeycomb for the tab, myself running EURO tab so GSM would be preferred.

maybe my contribution would speed up the cooking.

cheers!

[Galaxy Tab General] jongilluley:
I think we all need to stop asking and just wait. The devs who have tabs are busy building reliable an stable roms off froyo and technomancer is doing a great job in porting gingerbread to the tab.

Therefore the chances of a dev spending the time needed to port the not fully released honeycomb to our tabs for, what is not very real, donations is slim at the best.

Get cm7 gingerbread on ur tab an enjoy it!
[Galaxy Tab General] julianLo:
Well said, the best way to speed up honeycomb for the tab is in helping out with gingerbread (CM7) for the tab right now. A lot of issues have to be fixed, a lot of testers are needed for that and I guess that the improved code will help a lot in regard to porting gingerbread to the tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] myellow:
Maybe you guys have a point in what you saying. Rushing its not the way to go,

but why not put it out there?

My intent was to make the developers really feel that their work are appreciated. I'm not a programmer, wish I had that talent but I don't. So what I can and feel like doing is showing my gratefulness.

What I maybe should done was posting my own topic regarding my donation, but this thread was already up.

Like the saying: Don't hate appreciate. We actually willing to donate money for their good work, why would you not want that? Either way my donation still stands.

If anyone feel like I'm wrong, good for you.

Developers, feel free to reply.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Because xda isnt about making money. Yeah, devs accept donations for their hard work. Of course devs will work on Honeycomb, but theyre probably waiting for a system dump to work with so its stable enough for public use.

All you can do is wait. Offering people money to stop what theyre doing wont help things.

[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
All that may be possible right now is to do half-assed binary port like the one for Nook. Most hardware features will not work. So what is the point? To collect the bounty or for street cred?

I am also not sure whether HC will be well suited for a 7 inch Tab, it seems Google is developing it for 10 inch higher res screens. I think of Tab as a giant phone and GB seems to be much better fit for it. I wonder how HC will handle cellular voice calling for instance.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
Tech,

You make a good point about the screen size most of the tabs coming out are around 10" except for the LG slate which is at 8.9" .
[Galaxy Tab General] jongilluley:
Totally agree. Also to note is that. HC seems to prefer landscape and I for one prefer portrait on my tab.

Plus technomancers gb port is coming along v.nice and it seems right on the tab
[Galaxy Tab General] myellow:
Ganjadroid: Who ask devs to stop what they are doing? I haven't asked anyone to stop with anything, asked if anyone would port HC fully to the tab, if so they get 700US. How, when I dunno, like I said I'm not a programmer. Don't expect anything to just come up this second. But when it comes, I'm here to show that dev/devs my appreciation.

Technomancer: First of all, thanks for working on GB. If you get it functional fully I would like to donate to u too.

I hope that HC will be compatible with the tab, regardning the 10 inch res screens and so on.

But wouldn't you agree that have a half-assed binary is something, maybe not use for public but getting somewhere on the road to fully. It's a lot of devs out here on our planet, having a discussion about the subject is better then sitting quiet and waiting in my opinion. You are working on GB maybe some other could work on HC who knows?

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Mate ive been watching you clock up the post count since you got your tab... but everything you say has so little substance.

I run multiple mobile software dev businesses (jq soft and flyfish), but i dont live in the states. For me it would be far cheaper to offer $100 as an incentive than to fly stateside just to purchase the xoom.

My mother often said think before you speak. The ubiquitous 'them' always say think before you leap. Perhaps this is the kind of wisdom that will spur galaxy tab owning hackers (you know who you are) to getting the finest currently available android tablet in line with googles erratic gibberish.

Indeed, i will pay up to $1000 for a decent port right now. Trolls be damned.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
ft well said, just because someone has a lot of post doesn't mean they have worth while input.

I don't think this post is all about a payday it is more about getting a game plan together and getting the dev's a head start on honeycomb. I just sold my CDMA tab and got a GSM tab so I could take advantage of things like Tech is doing. I was willing to pay half the amount of a CDMA tab for a dev to make some awesome roms for that model, but it didn't happen.

I am like myellow i am not a coder, i am a hardware guy.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
I don't see why HC wouldn't work on the Tab. Google obviously push HDPI on phones, but MDPI and LDPI are perfectly good, and supported, resolutions. Just because google are pushing 10" screens doesn't mean it won't work on a 7" one. Technically there's no reason why it wouldn't work, it's all designed to scale.

On a more personal note, I can't stand using the Tab portrait ;) And let's not start bashing other users about post counts please :D
[Galaxy Tab General] jinsoku3g:
Somebody should make an actual bounty thread.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
@Ftg99 jkurl

And by that you mean?

I've been a member on xda for a few years now, and IMO I haven't posted excessively on the Tab forums. I've never meant to state or imply that because I have a 'high post count' that my opinion is more valid than someone with few posts. That's very much not what I want to do.

I didn't mean to say that offering a bounty for a port is bad, I meant that devs are working on their own things, when they want to work on HC then they will. Especially at this early stages with HC, all we have is the SDK so the port wouldn't be what everyone expected which would cause people to complain/*****/moan about a half arsed job.

I'm not here to start/stir sh*t, I'm just getting used to Samsung firmwares and hoping to increase my knowledge on Android etc and to help people who need it.

[bounty killer] ads

IMHO

I think it's better to stop to open 3d collecting money for future works...

open source means doing something for NO PROFIT... AFTER the works is released somebody usually ask for contribution in order to compensate the hours involved and gone...

I see no pros doing that ... it's not in open source rules/mind
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
That is not what open source is about *at all*!

There's absolutely nothing in the "rules" that states this!

Having said that, I personally think that bounties in this context are counter productive, but I'm sure that there have been some that worked very well on XDA.

[Galaxy Tab General] elnoxvie:
If honey comb is ported, it would be awesome but pestering developers won't do. The port takes time and probably not too easy. Maybe you guys can help port them instead by reading how to port, about writing drivers for kernel, binary patch etc ... that may help :).
[Galaxy Tab General] vamp6x6x6x:
I actually was thinking about learning how to port, but from what I understand right now their is only a Honeycomb SDK port able to be made...and even though it would be awesome to have Honeycomb on my gTab I honestly think the SDK Honeycomb would be all but worthless compared to even official froyo...just what I think anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] triplex76:

Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, but why is it that a stupid ebook reader is able to have a .zip file for honeycomb now and as if that wasn't bad enough, the dell streak does as well? How in the freaking world is that possible?!?!?!?! We don't even have a solid clockwork recovery or a stable ROM for that matter available to us. If anybody would have told me to go to my local Barne's and Noble store to buy a honeycomb tablet I would have died laughing, but unfortunately is the case now.

Not blaming anybody and certainly none of the Dev's on the forum hard at work, but now it has gotten ridiculous. I love my tab for what it does, but now its just not fun anymore. If anybody wants it, let me know. I'm going to buy a 250$ Honeycomb tablet
