Now that I have my view rooted I was hoping honeycomb could be a potential custom rom for it..has anyone any info on this
Well, porting is not that easy. The best place to start would be the Nook Color's Honeycomb port, the screens of the devices are same. Unfortunately, the Flyer is a brickable device, so you can't play around with it being careless. The Nook can boot an sd card, so the Nook is un-brickable. So I would wait. Wait for HTC to update it, Honeycomb is laggy anyways.
So if the flyer is brickable so is the view?....im just looking for an update for the view's current rom maybe a better bluetooth more compatable apps...
Yeah, they are brickable. I'm not a experienced dev like nickberli and i00, and have never cooked a ROM. So I'm afraid to try porting.
Well i hope someone tries ...waiting for sprint to do it would take ages
The code to Honeycomb is not open source, it will be very hard for someone to port it to the Flyer. Since the code to Honeycomb has not been released, it is not like other android releases where people can compile it for devices which the manufacturer has not bothered to make a release for. You will probably never see Honeycomb on the Flyer, IceCream is the Google intended release for devices like the Flyer.

icecream? we will never see an official version of icecream on the flyer. We'd be lucky if HTC gives us the upgrade to gingerbread 3.0. They've already got out what, 3.2 on the xoom?
Everyone needs to find there share, HTC has to modify it for our device, then they flip it over to sprint and then they modify it add their tweaks in, then they do a testing phase, etc.
I'm starting to assume that HTC and/or sprint is just about to say screw it and not upgrade out device.

Gingerbread is NOT 3.0. The Flyer is too new to be EOLed before ICS.

correct honeycomb is 3.x.x and gingerbread is 2.x.x
HTC flyer SDK supported both honeycomb and gingerbread. So...
Any idea on how to setup the HTC Flyer SDK on Mac? When I load up device "HTC Flyer" with HTC tab extension as the target, it boots into AOSP Froyo.
Which SDK? Link? Are you referring to the OpenSense SDK? I don't believe that is Flyer specific, so I would not base any conclusions on that.
Couldn't we just port the Puccini version of honeycomb? I realize its difficult to do bc the view is brickable. Just putting it out there.

The Puccini is 10" or something with a 1200 x 800 res if I recall. It would take a lot of resizing. Better wait for HTC to do it.
That's not an answer. Who here with some dev knowledge has some insight on this?

I've got a bad feeling we might never see honeycomb...its been months now and they've been silent about honeycomb...i really think (and hope not) that they've just given up on honeycomb and dedicated all there time to the puccino.
Has there been any leaked files of the puccino yet were we could start porting?
I think Honeycomb is to laggy and not worth putting on this device. Let's wait for ICS...
I'm pretty sure that we get a puccini port running on the flyer
Is there already a leaked version?
Introduction:
This project is temporarily on hold due to financial hardships. I plan to be back very soon.
Since we have HoneyComb for the Flyer already, I wanted to start a thread to try and get HC ported to the View for us Sprint junkies. I'd like to gather information, not only for porting HC, but for the View as a whole. I've done a ton of searching and still haven't found hardly any info for it.
Questions:
These are the random questions I have for now:
-Does the View run the same hardware as the Flyer?
-What all hardware is in the View?
-What are the odds of successfully flashing the Flyers Radio.img/hboot.img to the View
-Others that I haven't thought of, or don't have the time to write out at the moment.
I'd greatly appreciate all the support I can get on this. I'm not familiar with the View or Flyer at all. I come from Evo 4G and Evo 3D development and would really like to get into the View as well.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Reserved...
Mine too...
Can't contribute much right now, but like the train of thought. I can't imagine hardware wise anything other than the radio is different.
I'd like to know what the flyers partitions look like. If someone could run adb shell df - h and paste the output here that would help immensely.

Wow, I'm very glad someone has come up and decided to do this.
1. I feel like it might be a bit of a waste considering HC is SUPPOSED to be officially released in the future. So it would suck if you did all this hard work to make the port and then like 2 weeks later we get the official version to work with.
2. I will run that command when I get home in like an hour and show you the output.
I wouldn't mind helping you in someway, if I can. I'm familiar with linux command line and such ie. i know what df -h does and what it means and all that stuff, BUT I've never played around with making ROMs or anything like that.
Any help I can give, I'm down to do. Good luck.
edit: I see you are looking for the FLYER'S parition table, not the view's.... my bad.
I feel like a complete douche in doing this but I have to put this project on hold. I've recently come into some financial trouble and had to sell my View for some extra cash. I do have plans to continue this project once I can manage to afford another View. As for the possibility of HTC releasing HC for it before I can get it going, oh well, thats the risk we take when we develop lol.
Can I help beta test this once its up again?
Would it help for the dev to own both a flyer and a view to get development done?
I haven't gotten to take a look at the flyer, but I am under impression that the view is not too much different...
We also have a donation going on in the general chat for someone to develop on the view, if this works for the OP
Apart from the 4G and CMDA capabilities, the flyer and the evo view 4G are one and the same tablet.

Yeah, only the radios and the color are different. I suppose if you could take the official HC build for the Flyer and somehow merged the WiMax and CDMA code into that build it may work, but I'm not well versed on how to go about doing that. I see builds on the Evo 3D that are Sense 3.5 but they don't have working 4G for whatever reason.
On the OG Evo they made 4G work on CM7 by building code from the ground up to work with the hardware, but it hasn't moved over to 3D yet and there is no official build from CM for the 3D. Maybe that code could be ported? Of course it would probably have to be an AOSP build which I've not seen yet for either the View or Flyer.
I sold my Flyer Wifi and picked up an Evo View 4G so hopefully this gets sorted out. Would really like to get Honeycomb on the View. I really enjoyed it on the Flyer!

Actually there are more differences that that, although that is where they all stem from for sure.
We don't even have source for the Flyer HC release yet, so the work needed would be even worse. It's really not worth looking at until we have source and by that time given the traditional HTC lag in releasing it we'll have HC on the view already.

I was reading about here for the possibility of an AOSP build, if there is one done, it's likely we would loose pen input functionality on Flyers and Views since it seems to be based on sense.

make sure to read globatron's sticky in the general section before accepting the HC OTA update. strong recommendation to wait until there is a patched hboot so that your device isn't forced back into a permanent s-on
Honeycomb for EVO View is now available!!

Honeycomb for EVO View is now available. While its a huge change and many more features are available, I'm skiddish about loosing some apps which won't work in 3.2.
Please post your reviews of the new system. Many of us would love to read about your experience.
I am wondering given that this device just got honeycomb.. is there any chance of it getting ICS?
Part of the reason I'm wondering is because I am getting my flyer sometime between the 10th and the 17th coming up according to the "estimated delivery date" when I hit buy.
I have had ICS on my captivate before I ever even got to play with Honeycomb.. my mom got the transformer yesterday.. and there are a few minor quirks with honeycomb that I really don't like.. major example being if you pull up the task manager in ICS you can remove windows and close out the programs.. Honeycomb will pull up windows that aren't open.. and it gets cluttered fast if your done with something and seeing 5 or more windows you don't want open, but can't get rid of..
no sign of ICS anytime soon but maybe if kernel source is released and CM9 development someone will port it here. In regards to the task management, yes it can get cluttered but it is better than not having it at all like gingerbread
I'm hoping they'll have the decency to update us or at least release the source code required...
IANAL, but I believe HTC legally has to release the kernel source for anything it releases. If they never release ICS, we may never get a kernel for ICS.
Honeycomb kernel might work, but I'm not sure if HTC is legally required to release honeycomb kernel source.
As far as I am aware, they did/may have use some proprietary software which would screw up our porting efforts.
So it becomes an issue of "will they" and that is what I am wondering.
Personally I don't think we will ever see ICS on the Flyer. Here are my reasons:
1. Not a lot of Flyers were sold so there is not a large user base. Thus, there is not much developer interest.
2. Sense - From what I understand from what developers have said, the kernels that HTC makes are made to work with Sense and will not work with an AOSP build.
These two things combine to make bringing ICS to the Flyer difficult and there is no one around who appears willing to do it.
I really hope that I am wrong about this but I don't think that I am.
Someone want to educate a noob?
How is it that several other devices (including HTC ones, like the Sensation) are getting ICS ports, but the Flyer/View can't? I mean, it seems unlikely that HTC released AOSP kernel sources for other devices, and even if they did, they're certainly not ICS kernels. Why is it so important for us to have an AOSP kernel (and an ICS one, at that) from HTC in order to get CM on the Flyer/View?
Oh, and then there's devices that didn't even have Android like the TouchPad, and devices that don't have their source code released, like the Kindle Fire.
I'm definitely not a developer, so I'm sure there's something I'm missing...I'm just trying to figure out what it is.
I'm repeating what developers told me or wrote here. I don't know if it is right or wrong.
I think the bottom line is that it is easier to have an AOSP kernel.
I think you can build your own kernel but that is much more work and maybe a hard thing to do.
All of the custom ROMs that we have seen for the Flyer are just modified HTC ROMs that come with certain software preinstalled or other kinds of enhancements.
More popular devices have much more developer interest. I would imagine that some less popular device owners get lucky because some developer also owns the device and is willing to spend the time.
So far, one developer said he would try to bring ICS to Flyer. He tried but gave up because of kernel issues. I don't get the impression that he did too much but at least he gave it a go. No other developer has said anything one way or the other.
I'm not holding my breath..
but, I definitely won't give up hope just yet..
The most likely path would be a port of another HTC device that uses the same processor or very similar. SO when some of the other HTC devices are released with ICS around March or so, we might see some goodness, depends on how close the hardware is and if HTC releases some source code.

So I guess the big question as far as an official update goes.. is how much effort would HTC have to put out in order to do the upgrade...
And will it be worth it for them to do so..
I guess the pen is the biggest issue prevent the ICS update
Since it only works in Sense ROM, so even we have a perfect CM9, the pen function is wasted

I'd be content with an AOSP rom now, with the pen worked in later.

We will see... if any devs are willing, I am sure as heck willing to help and take a crack at it myself..
You can't do AOSP without HTC's help for the kernel and drivers and since HTC only does sense kernels I'm thinking that's not going to happen. I still think a port of an HTC ICS ROM from another device is the most likely path, unless HTC is feeling exceptionally benevolent toward the Flyer. Perhaps the Jetstream tablet will get ICS and that can be ported...
EDIT: information below is obsolete. Please check the last few pages of the topic for recent development progress.
What is known:
Jetstream uses MSM8x60 processor (is this same as msm8660?)
What we need to know:
What GPU.
Other similar HTC devices running on the MSM8x60.
Stable and most developed kernel compiled from source.
Stable HC Rom for donor Rom.
Bluetooth SoC
WiFi SoC
GPS SoC
HC kernel source base address (if I compile my own kernel from HC sources)
More useful info you guys can come up with.

I am from the HTC Flyer forums, and am interested in getting ICS onto the Jetstream, although I don't have the device myself. For now this thread will serve as a base for discussing about ICS, until the actual development can start.
This thread is NOT for saying thanks 'little guy', hopes, general ranting about HTC or flamefights.
I need some pieces of info now, so that we can start doing stuff. I need some good internet trawlers for this to work,so anyone who can help please do, as I have time constraints due to developing for the Flyer all while having to stay at the top of my class.
Options in getting ICS:
Porting (preffered for now)
Building from Source
I prefer porting for now as building from source will be difficult as a GB kernel source is not present unlike the Flyer.

Hi,
Nice to see you get started. Well this is what I could gather.
1. Msm8x60 processor is a series of processors which has variants - Msm8260 and msm8660. Jetstream uses a variant called APQ8060. It's used by HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy Tab LTE, SGS II (SGH T989), HP Touchpad, Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, LG Nitro HD, Le Pan II.
2. It's using an Adreno 220 GPU as far as I could gather
3. DoomKernel is the only kernel I gather out here. It works well but some users have faced glitches on it with the overclocking and voltage changing settings.
4. I feel galaxy task 650 v2 is the most stable rom-I did face problems with v3. Osimood also seems to work well but haven't had more than 3 days with it running so can't comment on stability.
5. The kernel source base addresses I think were posted elsewhere. Will check and get back.
6. I don't know how to check out the SoC things. If you can direct me what I must do to check them, I will and get back asap. Even the kernel source base address if any way I can check, do guide and it will be done.
If any of the above information is wrong, I am sorry and will try to correct it as soon as I learn of the mistake.

The HTC Vivid, seems to have exactly all same internal component, expect the screen resolution and the stylus
And ICS is also available for it.
While doing some research about phones, came across an interesting fact. The HTC One S has very very similar specs as the Jetstream. It runs on a Qualcomm MSM8260A Snapdragon processor and runs GPU of 225 Adreno. I think only the GPU is different as Jetstream is on the Adreno 220 GPU. Could this be useful in helping us port ICS to the Jetstream? Of course, no pen and screen resolution vary - else they seem very similar.
OK, I've checked out the Vivid and know about the One S, but for now, I am going with a Vivid ROM. As I don't have a Jetstream, I'll be needing a someone's Ubuntu box (someone who has developed/cooked etc. before hopefully) with Remote Access and the Jetstream connected via usb.
I need the following specs on your computer(if anyone is willing):
Atleast Dual-Core CPU (Quad-Core preferred)
Atleast 2GB RAM
About 5 GB of free space
Ubuntu 64bit (12.04 preffered)
Cross-compile toolchain installed(but OK if you don't have it)
Minimum 1MB/s Internet speed
Unlimited Internet usage preferred, but 2GB usage reqd. minimum
Jetstream attached via USB
If you guys do have a computer matching these specs, PM me or write here. Hopefully we will be able to get something out of it.
I would definitely offer but I don't have a pc to match even the minimum config. You planning on getting a Jetstream by any chance?

Mine is a P4 3Ghz, 2GB RAM, WinXP. I guess Ubuntu will work but will have to get it. Hard disk and internet not a problem.
And the ICS bounty has reached a $350 mark. You get a refurbished Jestream for $299.99 at http://www.all4cellular.com/product/htc-jetstream-32gb-refurbished.html if you interested in taking up the bounty. They send it with a shiping charge of $41 off. In all comes to $341.54. So you interested? Also, only drawback from that site is no scribe pen-but as you have a Flyer, the same pen will work.

Thanks for the advice. If you people want me to carry on the work, someone will need to collect the bounty, buy the Jetstream and ship it to my address as I am a tad inconvenienced without PayPal,etc. being 13 and all.
Also, I'll feel bad if I do get the Jetstream and can't manage to get ICS on it, as its a long and complex process, and end up disappointing you guys or something like Drew Garen in the Flyer forums who got a free Flyer and was in fact a scammer.

Oh ok. I will do 1 thing. If you don't get someone by the 24th, I will try arranging for something for the system. I got an exam on 24th and after that I would be able to spare time and try getting something set up for you. Hope that would be acceptable. If someone else can do it before that well and good. Regarding bounty etc, if you get it working on the Jetstream, then perhaps someone would be able to do it for you. I just realised that there is post saying bouty would be given after ics is working.
Another question if you don't.mind. a user has a S-OFF device. I was wondering if we could use his device as a model and try getting s off for the others? Because in my understanding, having s off would be an advantage and it would surely speed things up for development. Would such a thing be possible.

About the S-OFF device, that guy doesn't have it anymore,though it would help for ICS . A ENG Hboot or factory S-OFF is not very useful for getting S-OFF on factory locked devices, except for perhaps hard flashing(JTAG) the hboots onto the target device.

I know he does have it. Had PMed him a while back and he did. Will confirm in any case still. Also, my Jetstream is sim unlocked. And I meant that I will be able to set up the system with the uplink and stuff after the 14th - just in case you misunderstood that i will be able to get you a device without the bounty-sorry. The bounty will cover a device for you if you manage to get ics running on the jetstream.
Will PM the guy with an S-OFF device and get back to you with that.
Development started!
So not to get your hopes up or anything but, development has started!
I provided mhkabir98 de needed Ubuntu box, and unlock jetstream.
We are currently trying to port a Vivid ICS rom to the Jetstream and get it booting using Doomlord's kernel.
AS I said, don't get your hopes up this is VERY early stage..
But mhkabir98 seems capable enough with his Flyer ICS rom.
And the ubuntu box + jetstream are good enough
Great news! Just saw an ics asus today..got me jealous.
Just one request if I may, the doomlord kernel is known as problematic, for some of us it crashes the device. If its possible, I would ask to avoid using it, or trying to fix the known issues.
Hopefully this will go well. Goodluck, and thanks.

So excited to see this! I hope this works out!!! I do agree on the Kernel. I'm currently running latest Task with stock kernel and works very well. Hope I can still use that kernel.
We are first trying to get it to boot,
After this we will focus on getting everything else to work,
When everything works we will try to get it as stable as possible
We are first trying the DooMLord kernel, and if that works we will ofcourse also try the Stock kernel.
We can't say for sure if everything will work out as we intend, but we will try our bests, it's my first time at rom building so pklease have patience.
Thanks for your co-operation!
If you can't get it done, I'll have a look at it after the holidays. I did bring ICS to the HTC Flyer as well (pure AOSP), I think this one should be easy to do

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That would be really really amazing. Any help always welcome/
And can't wait for your ICS Flyer ROM either.
I've looked around and did a bit of digging regarding placing Ubuntu on our Jetstreams. I have a working version on my device, but this version is more a background application then a full replacement for Android.
I'm wondering what we can do to start working to get a replacement OS since HTC simply won't support us any longer.
Thoughts?

this really caught my eye as well, but i'm guessing it won't include the pen support, so it kinda sucks for me.
the official versions for the nexus family should be released 2day. i'm guessing it would spread and get ported to more devices..when it would happen it will be easier to determine the easiest way to get it to the jetstream.

i heard that in a few days porting instructions will come up
this is how it looks for those of you that haven't heard of it
