I just noticed that Samsung open sourced gingerbread and froyo for our devices, will this help development?
here's the link https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp;jsessionid=270954CEE97EBDDA2FF300E0504BF9A1
They are focusing on ics right now, this would be helpful if you wanted to make a stock and unbloated gingerbread or froyo ROM. Good idea though

Open source is always helpful for any development-related activities.

None of this is new. Samsung only opensources the GPL parts, which pretty much means kernel sources - as you can see, there are already a few custom kernels out there.
What made us go from aosp 2.3 to aokp 4.0 what's the difference? I understand what kanging is but why do all stock ics roms say aokp instead?

AOKP is a specific popular ICS ROM available for multiple devices. It is not AOSP, but it is based on AOSP with features added.

This. It's in the same vein as MIUI.

First off, HTC has nothing to do with it.
Secondly, both versions of CM are based off open source Android and tweaked to the CM team's desires and wants.
CM7 is based off of Gingerbread.
CM9 is from Ice Cream Sandwich
I'd do some research if I were you.
New versions of android.

In the future, will it be possible to extract Nexus5 rom/updates and apply them directly to G2 ?
Just asking, because G2 and Nexus are sharing a lot of same hardware.
It'll probably be easier to port Nexus5 rom, instead of having a lot of work on a common 10.2CM ?

Its fairly easy to port ROMS from Nexus 5. However reading log cats is the main thing here. Thankfully most people can't read log cats so it stops the noobs flood the place with terrible ports. To answer your question yes it can.

Thx for answering.
Just asking, because i'm really fan of AOSP/light roms.
We don't know availability of Nexus5 (already out of stock), so G2 could be a great alternative to Nexus5 (with better battery lol)

We have AOSP already. Just Original Android Development

Yes, but is it better to port rom from Nexus5 directly (with probably minor adaptations), or to adapt a common CM10.2 tree to G2 devices ?

CM10 is pretty close to AOSP too.

*CM10.2 IS AOSP. We have our own device tree now but Nexus 5 one can also be adapted

CM is CM, AOSP is AOSP. It's close, but it's not AOSP, especially these days.

Was getting ready to say the same thing... It does have some changes, which I think are generally for the better.
CM is AOSP based, very enhanced thou with tweaks and major overhaul thanks to gerrit submissions and great dev community.

Exactly, CM is built from AOSP.
there is a guy with a video on youtube that says he has files to download to the g2 to make it a virtual nexus 5. he demos it and says the files are in the description but I did not see them there. He says no root is required and it does look like a nexus 5, but I don't know if it is kitkat or not. it also looked like he was getting some FCs too.

Yeah it's 3 files to download here:

But it's not a Rom.

Yea the Optimus G Pro already received 4.4 based off the N4. I'm suprised we haven't got 4.4 based off the N5 yet. Perhaps the devs are still getting comfortable with the new hardware.
Real good to know about the N5/G2 ease of porting. I'm particularly curious about the kernels and how similar they are to one another. Moving forward with newer versions of Android, the kernels are the important thing.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to port roms over. The only concern I have is whether or not they'd work with the VZW version. Not sure if you could use the RIL from the G2 or a new file from scratch would have to be made to be able to get working data.

The n5 carries many similar radio bands both CDMA and lte so it should be fine

They could pull whatever they needed from current builds. Should be ok.

can anyone comment about the binaries and kernel sources? Is it possible to port franco's kernel over to g2?

of course it's possible to port franco kernel to the g2. the kernel sources are released from lg afaik.
but someone has to do it which is really bad with that many different device configurations.
give it some time and you will see kernels coming, i'm sure

There is already some kernels in the original dev forums. He is porting all sorts of stuff over.

We know that there are lots of AOSP based ROMs, such as CM, omni, etc. But why nearly all the developers don't like to migrate original AOSP to our phones, but only CM, omni, carbon, and so many custom ROMs? What's wrong with the original Google code? Anyone know the reason about that? I know that these custom ROMs have many additional features, but I just like pure Android.
No answers？

Mostly it is that I think your mistaking google code for pure aosp. They are 2 different things. A pure aosp build has no options and is very plain. Most don't want the bare bones. Also this a development forum, which means that we don't settle core base software. Anyone can sync and build a stock rom

I got it. Thank you. But in my opinion, build a pure aosp is not easy as you say, probably I'm new here

Depending on the device all you have to do is a set up a build setup, then sync the repo and build it. Not that hard.
