Request to upgrade ICS (Android 4.0) for Gen 8

Recently more and more Android developer start to developping and propose to upgrade their OS from old Froyo (Android 2.2/2.3 ) to Android 4.0 (ICS)system,even though low level 600MHz CPU/256Mb RAM Android phone
(ex. Huawei U8150 ) :
Refer to beneath thread of their activities:
1. Port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & EVERY PHONE Thread
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117 )
2. [Huawei U8150] Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP Alpha 3 WIFI+SD WORKS
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366404
I hope someone of our Archos developer also can consider to develop Android 4.0 (ICS)system for Gen 8 ASAP
well the answer is easy:
and if u would have spend some time in this forum - reading - u would have it already...
Atm we got 3 main developers for our archos devices: sauron/bubu/divx
Since sauron will stick to his UD for a while as it seems hes out of the race atm
The other 2 are wokring on CM7 (-> Ginger) atm.
Even they are doing a great job we still dont have a fully bug free and installable CM7 yet...
CM9 (-> ICS) is in a very early development stage (as u already can see in any other android forum here - mostly alpha builds with barely functionality) so it's kinda meanless to switch over to it atm - since we dont have enough developers for it.
Once CM7 is fully working I think bubu/divx will head on to CM9 ofc (if they still own an archos then )
Even I know u just had good intensions - I think those [Request] threads are meanless most time - as they won't "help" anyone sadly.
Imho: if u want to contribute and take the development a step further or want to help them - join the Cyanogen Bull RC development discussions and help out with bug-reports or anything else u can do...

Hello FrEcP:
Thanks for your update informations.
Sorry!I do not know how to develope Linux or Android OS and just a Android system user
However I always keep watch the new OS improvement and contribute my testing result to developer all the time and wish Archos Gen8 could be better
performace than before!!
ICS Port to our gn8 started!
letama, made an alpha version of an ICS Port for our devices
Look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404492
Currently the only thing that seems to run is the touchscreen (Actually the launcher is pretty smooth)! And it's booting of course
nice to see progresses in ics development for ics!!

What are your top 5 Subscribed Threads

O.K. so i think it might be a good idea to collect a list of everyones to 5 subscribed threads and any that appear more than a couple of times can go in this original post. The idea is that we can collect the biggest thread of sticky's, that is decided by us the user and not the moderators and what they belive are worthy of being a sticky.
This is just a idea so if it does not work out then a mod can remove it if they like

[Q] A few doubts regarding rom Development

Hi, I am a java developer by profession and for my own interest want to learn android development .I am more inclined towards rom development rather than kernel or app.I have a few doubts that arose as soon as I got into it.
I searched the forum but couldn't get a clear answer but rather I was confused. So i am putting all my doubts here as questions and request people to comment or give answers or direct me to links that may help clear my doubts.Since I own a note 3 N9005 Its easy for me to test the result if I develop for note 3 itself.
1. Recently android 5 has been released for galaxy s5 .Is it possible to port it for note 3 when there is no base rom of android 5 for note 3 ?
2. Android 4.4.4 has not been officially released for note 3. How come touchwiz based ported rom exists for note 3 ie where did the base rom came from for porting ?
3. In the aosp source page, list of devices does not contains note 3 does it mean that developing from source for note 3 is much complicated than nexus 5 or 7 ?
4. Is there any android kitchen for android 5 ?
5. Are there tutorials which are easy to understand for newbie like me? I mean most of the tutorials I find starts at mid level and ends with pace.​I request the members of this forum to please spare some time to help me out.
Thanks
Is there any one who can clear my doubts?

You are out of luck I'm afraid. This OEM never releases the kernel source for the device and with that and other needed files for it there is no development at all. This is why no developer ever gets this device.

Thanks for The Answer (finally some one Answered!)
Its Very Bad to hear..
but i saw faw days ago this: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/meizu-mx4-...ected-feature-ubuntu-touch-hit-europe-1476642
That will May be a good news for feature development for the MX 4 ..
Because The Flyme is an Heavy ROM With Tons of bugs and it supports kinda bad english , still the Store There is in Chinese..
Do you think if i will contact With the Original Development forum in meizu's forum may help to Release The Kernel Source? , Maybe the Ubuntu Development Will Release The kernel?

I wouldn't count on it. As a China based company they are not held to the GPL laws.
As for Ubuntu touch it will be the same thing. Ubuntu touch is almost completely a dead development project on every device so far. Not alot of interest in it.
You can hope but they have been the same for as long as they have been putting out devices and China doesn't require then to follow copyright or gpl laws.
