We all know that TMo has just rolled out the official Froyo on 21 and I'm wondering how much time will Samsung take to release source code for the Froyo?
The Telus Fascinate received it's source code about three weeks (14/01/11) after the official Froyo release (23/12/10)... so is it safe to assume that we'll be getting it soon too?
I just bought a DeLorean and will be converting it to a time machine over the next couple weeks. After I go into the future I will return and post the date at which Samsung released the source code.

Has it released the source code for 2.2 yet ?
If not, could you please direct me to where i should be monitoring.
I think i was looking at the right place because it had open source Tar.s and tgiz for t959D but not t959.
No, they have not:

It will say Froyo when they do, like the canadian Fascinate does.
Since they released 2.2 in US for the Vibrant, they have to release source as per GPL?

I was thinking the same, but it seems they can stretch it out 6 months before they truly have to release it.
Thanks for the replies guys !!

yay???!!! is this what weve been waiting 4??
I can't view the page from where I'm at but thats seems to be a link about the source code for the original Galaxy S phone (the euro gsm version) and the source code from that isn't our source code (although I think in the past some of the drivers from the orig galaxy S have been used in some of kaos/jt's builds?).
I’m not sure what has gotten into the folks at Samsung as of late, but they seem to be on top of their game. They dropped the source code for the DROID Charge and Fascinate last week, the Gingerbread update for the Galaxy S started rolling out for European users this weekend, and this morning, the source code for the aforementioned 2.3 update hit the Open Source Developers Center. Ergo, we can almost certainly expect to see some custom Gingerbread ROMs for the Galaxy S in the coming weeks.

maybe its the 2.2 code??? the ec10 and drippler just sux at ameking snese
Galaxy S != Fascinate
The source is for the i9000, not the SCH-I500
Its been said COUNTLESS times, the original i9000 isn't going to help with mostly everything on the Fascinate (i500).

Normally a remark like this wouldn't be taken at face value, but Shravan already has a track record with this sort of thing, having accurately predicted the release of Android Gingerbread last year. Shravan's claim seems even more plausible when considering the fact that the European Galaxy Nexus has been confirmed for launch on the 17th. You may also remember that Dan Morrill made it clear last month that Ice Cream Sandwich's source would not be released before the Galaxy Nexus.
Of course, without confirmation from Google, we can only wait in anticipation, but luckily we won't have to wait long before seeing if this statement in fact materializes.

Im still undecided btwn GN and Amaze since no Tmo sub'd version of GN exists.
Having come from N1 Kinda out of the loop as to what turnaround times are for these types AOSP> Rom times.
Are we talking Weeks , Months ?
From what I understand S-OFF isnt an issue and good devs seem to be working on Amaze already.
The galaxy nexus is a whole different experience from the amaze, being that when ics is released early next year for the amaze ( as according to htc ) its functions will be intergrated into the sense ui. The galaxy nexus will offer the stock or vanilla user interface.
Personally on all the vanilla based devices I've had it always seems I root to get that sense based ui back so it was an easy decision for me, but keep in mind even if that rumor is true the source code won't promise a carrier based update or even stable custom roms for a number of weeks.
tldr; it may be awhile

FYI, ICS source is now in the wild (I got it from the general dev section at XDA)

I would guess we have a week or so before an official announcement on a release date, and probably a month or 2 until it's pushed out. What do you all think?
Would be REALLY great to see it sooner rather than later.
Notice the baseband and kernel version... UCLC5? Whats up with that...
that's kinda disappointing. So pretty much the same. What's the point then? Guess I'll wait until official is out then get a custom ROM version.
UCLC5 was the kernel and baseband build leaked first... Wonder why they would run that if they already developed UCLD3... Maybe when they loaded it, thats all they had and it was a special load for that display...
I wonder if they will release ICS on a new quad Note first.
Then in small print say " Oh, yes for the old Note losers, we will post an update to your in a few weeks"
wouldn't surprise me.
I posted this yesterday. Its a few pages back now.
Samsung released the ICS kernel sources for the euro version N7000 2 days ago, just go here and search for "n7000"
Nothing for our i717 yet. There is an "Inquiry" link on the right of every file, allowing to request sources for a device. So, my question is - is it allowed/legal to request release of the ICS sources, given the fact ICS for our phone still hasn't been officially released?
Doesn't hurt to try. Although if I were them, I'd be asking...who are you to ask?
My guess is that once the official ICS OTA is out from at&t, they'll release the sources to the public.

The beauty of GPL is that there is no criteria/requirements for any credentials. Anyone is allowed to ask for a source code of a software released under GPL, and the developer must provide it, no questions asked.
It's allowed..
Fat chance them actually giving it to you, the gpl does not apply to software that has not been released to the public...
but you're allowed to ask, not like the feds are gonna raid your bedroom from a simple question.
And once it's released, you don't have to ask, it's just posted for all to download.
Word son. lol but asking for source early is probobly even more of a joke to sammy then asking for leak
