guess this project just became relevant again. at the current state of things, we have to wait for ice cream sandwich in q4. :( any takers?
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
I wish I knew how to do this stuff.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
well heres hoping that the op or another dev decides to pick this back up. waiting till q4 for something new is gonna be murder
[Nexus S Android Development] nicknowsky:
im surprised Google didnt release the source code at I/O, that was on everyones list for this years event. Im figuring they are going to keep it closed till Ice Cream Sandwich comes out, there is reaally no need for 3.0 anymore, its basically obsolete. Its just for these first run Android tablets, soon everything will be Ice CreamSandwich
[Nexus S Android Development] norocel:
I have played with it this morning,so impressed about it,with the right scale of it would fit perfect to the screen.

Maybe we should make a bounty to raise more interest?Still too long time untilll q4 don't really intent to wait by then when this is so nice!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] dopeypopey123:
If somebody can get this stable all we can do is have all the goodies of honeycomb and change the lcd density and it automatically becomes a mobile version so please please dont give up on this yet !!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
im willing to donate for a usable daily driver, even if it has a few bugs. just something to hold my ns over till the n3 and ics
[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
I think that scaling everything down we'll actually lose all the charm n goodies of honeycomb.
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
This is interesting stuff: www.talkandroid.com/41571-honeycomb-has-a-hidden-gingerbread-ui-within-it/
[Nexus S Android Development] dopeypopey123:
That is what i was talking about above i think if we got this mobile version working it will be great to use !!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
It seems that their ice cream sandwich version which claims to be an OS for both smartphones and tablets won't really be something new, as honeycomb 3.0 already has that. It seems it just needs some kind of sensor which automatically detects your screen resolution and will adapt to your device.

If you manually adjust by setting the screen density, you can indeed obtain a perfectly working mobile version.

I posted this ages before any of the news sites got hold of it :/
[Nexus S Android Development] dopeypopey123:
yes i know you did but nobody seemed to take much notice i remember reading this :D

but im guessing nobody wants HC on their phones as the idea has just died ...
[Nexus S Android Development] brrip:
i definitely want honeycomb on my phone, but i have none of the knowledge of how to make that happen. i'd imagine there are others like me as well.

it's a little sad that other devices do have at least partially working honeycomb ports, but google's flagship device for the year doesn't
[Nexus S Android Development] DJ_Steve:
getting hc running shudn be that hard on a device which has 2.3 by default
[Nexus S Android Development] Vandam500:
It is when the source hasn't been released
[Nexus S Android Development] DJ_Steve:
not really no, ive got 3 devices here running pretty functional honeycomb ports

and one thats a WIP
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Yes it will be something new.

It's gonna port the Honeycomb UI to phones, it's gonna intergrate the sourcecode of Tablet versions, Phone versions, and Google TV.

The best thing is that it's gonna have hardware acceleration (the only reason the iPhone is smooth, and saves so much battery).
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Do any of your ports have phone calls / sms working?

I MAY pick this up again.. its spurring my interest

[Nexus S Android Development] jkhrist:
I just got my ns a week ago and would love to see hc on my phone. I am even willing to donate to se it on my Nexus
[Nexus S Android Development] lucidcoin20:
wow not that is CooL! I'm on the edge of buying a Xoom but the UI of this suits my samoled NS perfectly! I love it! also I'm still kinda pissed at moto...
[Nexus S Android Development] norocel:
Wouldn't be posible one of the developers that make launchers to make one like honeycomb? I know nothing about coding but seeing so many options in the launchers now I start to wonder if it is posible to replicate it.
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
The launcher in honeycomb is exactly the same as our usual gingerbread UI. The launcher is not what we're looking for at all from honeycomb.
[Nexus S Android Development] NismoDrift240:
Thank you to the OP (jroid) for this, it's been a great build that runs VERY smooth on my N1. I use it everyday since the emulator in the SDK is painfully unbearable.

I'd be totally willing to help and work a little on this if I had a head start, at least a web article or something, on how to integrate/fix/edit/etc the drivers for components. I've picked everything else up quickly, from themes to coding apps, so I figure why not this too.

If I could just get tones or vibrate for notifications (text/email) to work id be in heaven. Honeycomb Market or it showing up as a Honeycomb tablet in market would be a big bonus, but not the end of the world.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Sorry to tell you guys, but he said: I won't work on this because Ice cream Sandwich is coming soon.

You probably won't see this happening on the Nexus S.

If someone picks it up, that would be great, but to let you know, it is not in work, and probably won't be either.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Surprise, surprise :D I have been working in the dark and have a VERY nice update for you folks coming in a few days. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] doniqcc:
Props to you bro well done :)
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
O.M.G this is SOOO fast.. even faster than my XOOM no lie..buttery smooth super fast with stock 2.3.4 kernel and no optimizations yet. I'm blown away
[Nexus S Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
damn can't wait!
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
omg teaser!
[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
Can't wait for the update! Your the man!
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
I'm wanting to fix a few more bugs like audio, and will be rebasing off full 3.1. Also wanna throw in working gapps ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
wow, full gpu acceleration really brings out the beast in the sgx540 gpu..this is the FASTEST AND SMOOTHEST ROM you will ever experience on the Nexus S guaranteed. When i throw in an overclocked kernel with optimization I can't imagine how fast it can get. But for now, back to the next best thing: oxygen :) will keep tinkering tomorrow, need rest :x
[Nexus S Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
PLEASE post something we can play around with! I want! I want!
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
maybe tomorrow. I'm tired and sleep deprived
[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
Get your rest. We will all lose sleep waiting for your update lol
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Wow, this was unexpected. But damn I'm stoked, REALLY looking forward to it!
[Nexus S Android Development] ruthless10001:
Its really good to hear from you guys... :) I was worried.. =P thank you all for your efforts. looking forward to try it!
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Worked in the dark? :P

Why didn't you tell me? xD

Also, how is Wifi progressing?
[Nexus S Android Development] brrip:
wow this is a good weekend surprise. glad to see this has picked up steam again! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
So awesome I definitely want to use this. Thank you for continuing it
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
This is so damn exciting, hurry up and release it!! :D

Major props for your work, I seriously can't wait to give it a try :P
[Nexus S Android Development] brrip:
if you get the time, a video preview would be nice too!
[Nexus S Android Development] PLEEZEFRAGME:
wake up, you can sleep after a release^^
[Nexus S Android Development] apreichner:
I don't know if this will help the dev at all, but the Galaxy S team has done an almost fully working port of Honeycomb to the SGS. The only things not working on the port are Phone Calls and Bluetooth. There shouldn't be too many major changes required to port it all over, just make sure you remove all of their scripts that get executed at boot, they do a lot of unnecessary things for the SNS. I believe they use a modified version of the CM7.1 SGS kernel.

[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
wow, I didnt even know of this. thank u very much , will help me a bunch
[Nexus S Android Development] apreichner:
Yeah I was planning on porting it over myself but since this project is still under active development I figured I'd tell you. If you need any further assistance I keep in regular contact with some of their devs.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
definitely! I could use some help, it's only me and dj_steve, which is tough cuz he doesn't have a nexus s or galaxy s device.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Why port bluetooth?

I have used it like 1 time, maybe 2, since I got the device ;_;

Wasted space on the motherboard.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Got gapps running on it. Need wifi to connect though so useless until then. Hopefully I get some help from the devs behind galaxy s port, one man team is exhausting.

[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Awesome. I can't wait for a working data and wifi
[Nexus S Android Development] apreichner:
Ill work on a quick port of it to see if that fixes some issues. Ill send it to you once done.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Weren't you a two man team?
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Yes me and Steve, but he doesn't have a ns and can only help with so much. He has helped tremendously however

edit: dammit u fix 1 thing and break another.. rotation in this case lol

edit2: rotation's good and audio is fully fixed speaker and headset :) Jammin to some tunes as I type
[Nexus S Android Development] Shivammcool:
Can you please post screenshots?
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
How close do you think you are to data, wifi, and phone
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
data i'm working on right now. Wifi no dice for now, will get back to it later
[Nexus S Android Development] Vandam500:
"Fastest and smoothest ROM"...LOL that's a good one :P

Nice work though...cool to see its still being updated
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
You'll have to edit that post once you experience it yourself. full GPU acceleration makes a big difference than just gpu accel in the app drawer
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
fixed data! First post over tmobile 3G :D
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
WEll. I cant wait honeycomb on my nexus s:p
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:

[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
PLEASE post the file! Fiending for hc
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Lowered screen density to 106 and everything pretty much fits now pretty good no cut offs BUT performance for some reason has gone down and txt is very small.. I'm sure ya won't mind :p I'll see if tommorow I post alpha 3.
[Nexus S Android Development] brmayhem:
Incredible progress. Thanks for all your work!

[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Awesome! Does sms and phone work though?

Good to hear data is working, really looking forward to this :)

Edit:

Can't we fix the small text issue with spare parts? Or isn't that compatible with HC?
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Yes, sms is working I've sent and received a few txt messages. I'm still doing some testing that will continue into tomorrow.
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Allright, sounds good! I take it the phone doesn't work though?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
But how will kernel support be?

Will you make the overclock kernel yourself?
[Nexus S Android Development] AnthonyAldrete:
Where is the download link?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
It isn't finished yet, he will probably put it out tomorrow.
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
Argh! The suspense is killing me. jroid, you evil, evil dev!

[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
You work very quickly. You've gotten a lot of work done in a very short period. Looking forward to the release
[Nexus S Android Development] DennisG1:

[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
How is WiFI going?
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Wifi is being an ass to me right now.
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
I'll try being patience, but it's hard...

Although this is hard for me, I'll say it anyway: take your time and release it when you see fit.

Also, could you create a list on all major features that works and what doesn't, f.e. wifi, data, sms, phone, etc. It would be appreciated since the list in the OT doesn't cover everything.

I'm requesting this so that evertone can get an overview of the ROM.

We all thank you for your hard work :)

Edit:

Atleast data works, and are you able to make phonecalls?
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:
ya was wondering the same with phonecalls/sms/mms
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
guys, I haven't tackled phone calls yet. I'm suspecting it will not work since HC doesn't currently support network calling being that it's a tablet OS. I will be hitting Google voice for sip/Voip calling however. SMS last night was working when I fixed data, and I sent and recieved a few txt's. I used the Mms.apk from the sgs port and txt was black, now the txt is white so i'm still figuering out what went wrong. But sms is working
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Ah, right, suspected that...

Now I wish I lived in the US so that GV would work for me...
[Nexus S Android Development] brrip:
still huge progress has been made! it's only a matter of time till someone ports calling to honeycomb OS, i'm sure we can wait =]
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Does that mean phone calls maybe impossible on this port?
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:
nothing is impossible
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
we'll see. So far nobody has been able to get it to work
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
If anyone can, you can :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
Tiamats kernel for the xoom enables calling. Maybe examing that could help
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
That's interesting, hope it helps jroid :)

Edit:

This maybe isn't ay the top of your priority list, but have you gotten anywhere with the camera?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
and some guys got it running on transformer too!
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Uhh, do you suggest placing camera over calling?

The phone camera is useless, U-S-E-L-E-S-S.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
uploading. . . . .
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Ohh yea, this is gonna be sweet.
[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:

Update posted. PLEASE READ THE OP regarding update instructions. Enjoy all. Now, leave me alone :p
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:

[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
It says installation aborted and I did a full wipe
[Nexus S Android Development] tw1nz:
Love from me.

Awesome work! Keep it up
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
No, not at all. Just wanted if he'd done an progress there. Calling should certainly come first :P

@jroid

Ah, finally! Well done :D
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
*sigh* Obviously you didn't read the thread...

This is a Nandroid backup, you have to place it in your "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backups" folder, and then restore it.

Also, anyone else getting MD5 mismatch?
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Thank you. Sorry
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Downloading right now, will report back.
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:
installed GAPPS after restore and booted up force closing the setup wizard anyone get that ?
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Gapps is already included, minus the setup wizard. There is probably a reason for that.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Restores perfectly. All we need is phone and wifi :-D

I'm not entirely sure phone calls will work. Wifi, I just can't seem to get. The other annoying thing is the white txt issue..
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Which recovery version do you have?

I get wifi error at times but I do get T-Mobile off and on signal.... this is almost complete. Good job. Oh yeah, message force close.

Strange, data didn't work for me...

I had a connection, but it didn't enable mobile data even after checking and unchecking it in the options.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Data worked perfect for me. I just had to put in my apn
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Which recovery version do you have?

If you don't know how to check: Just boot into the recovery, and check the top line.
[Nexus S Android Development] AnthonyAldrete:
if i am comming from nscollab and want to give this a whirl can i just simply place in the root of sd card then flash away ?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
No, you just download the file, unzip it, and copy the folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, then you restore the backup, but do a full wipe before this.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
3.0.2.4
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I think that's where the problem lies.

I have 4.0.2

It isn't backwards compatible with your nandroid.

I will try to downgrade temporarily.
[Nexus S Android Development] AnthonyAldrete:
when i unzipped and placed the folder in the sd/clock/backup it said no files ? am i doing something wrong ? please help thankx
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
I have CWM 4.0.0.2

this is awsome=), i do find it a lot easier to navigate while the phone is horizontal
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:
force close when opening messaging and starting new thread, in order to text someone you must go to contacts, then click on name then sms

also some ppl are having issues with syncing contacts do a fresh restore then right away go to contacts and sign in through there dont go to market or settings/account sync to sign in
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
Do we know which version of CWM recovery works? And how come a 4.0.0.2 recovery is backwards compatible?

EDIT: I tried recovering with 4.0.0.2 and still got an MD5 mismatch.

EDIT 2: Ack! MD5 mismatch with 3.0.2.4 too! Going to download the file again.

EDIT 3: Works after downloading file again. Works with 4.0.0.2 too.

Can I get some real feedback here other than ppl talk about cwm issues? thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
I have zero issues with this port. Honeycomb really doesn't belong on our phones though, it's so damn tiny. Data, GPS, and gapps do work for me. Great job for all your hard work!
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
after 1hr play with this wicked rom this is what i got.

-3G data working great.

-homescreen in landscape sometimes unresponsive. i can get it normal after i turn it into potrait mode.

-white on white text

-tried to making a call but theres no phone icon :D

-when receiving a call, the caller said he listen to a waiting tone until it goes into the answering machine. but nothing happen in my nexus.

-keyboard color kinda wash out

-market application can runs good and superuser also play it parts well.

-browser ok

-music great

-gallery force close

thanks for developing this awesome port
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
A-OK, here! Everything you've mentioned works! UI is quite fast! Browser scrolling feels a lot smoother when I loaded up Engadget. Thanks for the awesome work! This is uber cool.

Other issues I've noticed so far:

The unresponsive screen happens a lot but, screen orientation change fixes it

Pinch to zoom in browser is very laggy

Gallery FCs unless viewing pictures from Camera app

Recent apps list is chopped at the bottom

Youtube plays audio only

Landscape mode doesn't show the typed text in text box

Key press highlight feedback in portrait mode keyboard stops after awhile

All apps got unresponsive after awhile and only thing I see is a blank screen, menu worked though

Torch doesn't work

Could not get a GPS fix
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
Screenshots

These are the best screenshots I could manage. I could not find ShootMe on the market. Another Screen Shot app produced these caps with weird inverted colours. The colours are fine on the phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Uhh I cut the pictures to save space on the page.

The solution is to select inverted colours in the app, it's glitched for some reason, I had the same problem.

how did u manage to got an orange signal n battery?
