could they port honeycomb off the xoom? how close are they to make a stable honeycomb ROM?
Theres a million threads on honeycomb. Do a search. They are close on finishing a kernel for honeycomb
The problem is not the rom, there's already a bunch of ported roms from other tablets, but they are not stable because it isn't using the right kernel that is needed for the g-tab. They have to build the kernel from the begining for the g tablet because viewsonic doesn't want to help us.

Well, as many of you know (and who doesn't, now you know), today at 00:00 google has released the source code of ICS, so now I've got a question: There'll be any ICS based MiniCM version coming soon?
I know this question could seem stupid but I'm really excited about this! [email protected]
i dont know too if theres a release of what is your looking for, but as of now theres a ICS ginger based by Plancton.fr a great ROM based on MiniCM7 pro v21 by Paul-xxx and nicely done...credit to the creators..
check this out..

Well first of all you'd have to wait for an ICS version of Cyanogenmod to come out, and then wait to see whether someone can port it and whether it will run without being terribly laggy on our phones. Short answer - not soon.
i want to port an android 2.3+ rom to a device that has only seen froyo. In order todo this tho, ive been told i need to either port a gingerbread radio img, create a kernel that runs on froyo and boots gingerbread, and some other shenanigans.
Can anyone point me to a source to help me out here or give me advice on such a project?

I LOVE how the new Youtube app looks, why are we not able to port it? Is it connected with the framework or something?
Just curious about it.
easy install ICS
Porting is not possible because most of the apps have ICS dependency you can find the current ICS build for the vibrant in the development thread. There are two, but I believe the passion build is more stable then the I900 port
Ok...I am really REALLY new to all of this. IF you put a custom Honeycomb ROM (CM7 is Honeycomb right?) onto a tablet, will it then run apps that are designed for Honeycomb tablets?

Most.

The ROM is the same android OS but customized regardless of the android version (honeycomb, gingerbread, etc).
Different ROMs could have the same Android version. Major ROMs like CM are updated by their Developers when a new android OS is available.
Apps work mostly on any ROM, unless a certain app doesn't work on a certain Android OS version.
I hope I could answer your question.

Sort of....I guess I should break it down a little. There is a Words With Friends App that is made specifically for Honeycomb and because of that I can't even put it on my tablet which runs Froyo (parsing error). If I install a custom ROM or ported ROM like CM9, will it allow me to be able to install it?
CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich I believe... It might run your app.
Go to the app page on the market and see if anyone is complaining about it not working with ICS... If not, you're good to go.
CM8 was supposed to be Honeycomb, but didn't happen because Google didn't release the source code for Honeycomb. If you find a Honeycomb ROM specific for your tablet, then that answers your question. Otherwise you might have to wait till an ICS ROM is developed for your tablet.
I'm loving my newly-rooted Nook (Albert Wertz SD card method).
I'm not really into the Barnes and Nobel ecosystem, and have no need to maintain compatibility with it.
I know the NT is still fairly recent but, at the moment, what is the closest ROM to pure Android? ICS would be wonderful, of course, but I like Gingerbread and Honeycomb as well.
Thanks in advance!
CM7 (gingerbread) alpha is out, head on over to android development to find it. There is also a soft modded version of it and an MIUI (gingerbread based as well). CM9 will be ICS (android 4.0) but its still in development (no public release yet). There won't be any honeycomb rom as ICS is basically honeycomb without the **** and support for tablets/phones and a few added features.
tl;dr check out CM7
Thanks! I had good luck with CM7 on my G-Tab, so I figured that's where I'd end up.
