not sure if this is the right place to post this but as I was wandering through engadget I noticed a story about hp releasing the source code for android on the touchpad and figured many of you would be interested sooo here is the story.

Few threads about it, here's one :

Haven't heard much on the development for our device. Can anyone touch on this? Are we getting close? Can we expect something soon?

There was a tweet from SamMobile about a new leak being shared Jan 1 thats said to have most if not all the sources needed for a working build. So id say we are a few days off, or week or two before we have a good beta build going forward

I just saw sammobile tweet they will send sth. to codeworkx tonight
You can follow the development over in the i9100 original development forum. They have been making a lot of progress over the past few days. The best source is twitter. Follow codeworx and xplodwild as well as sammobile.

There's a freakin' sticky on this already!

This is a Google+ post asking Samsung to release the source code for the bluetooth/audio/MHL/dock/display devices in our phone. If you're not aware, this code is NOT in the open source kernel. They are modules that load separately. We need this source code to make our phone the PERFECT Android phone. Cyanogenmod Dev Team can do wonders with this code! Please +1 this post or even make your own. We need to Samsung to hear us! Not all of us are programmers (definitely not me), so we need to contribute in other ways!

OccupySamsung!
I would say that the requested code might have some (if not all) proprietary code and even some "secret" code when it comes to the NHL part for the hdmi encryption...
But I could be completely wrong about that...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Its possible, but any code drop would help. And the encryption you're thinking of would be HDCP and that should be handled by the chipset not the software.

Just sent Samsung mobile USA a message on Facebook about the source code, hope they respond.
Please people, let's get Samsung to recognize us! We need this source to make our phones the best. I know I say that every couple of posts. I just hope that the guy above this post gets lots of 'likes' on his Facebook post to Sammy. Help him out guys/gals!

I actually once managed to get a message from a guy at Samsung Support telling me to reach out to SamsungJohn for developer needs...
I sent him a pretty nasty message back, going into post-by-post detail of SamsungJohn's complete failure to provide any help whatsoever to the developer community.
I'm seriously thinking that my next device will be a Sony - As much as I hate Sony in general, SE went above and beyond in terms of supporting the Cyanogenmod team, leading to their entire 2011 lineup being almost fully supported by CM. Meanwhile, Samsung sends a few CM team members devices as a publicity stunt and doesn't bother at all to provide any followup support.

I saw the post you are talking about. And I sent a Twitter to SamsungJohn and never heard back. I know I keep talking about this, but something has to be changed. I'm on UnNamedROM right now, and while it's good, it's not CM. Maybe if Sammy releases ICS for the I9100/I777 then they'll release some more code for our phones. Probably don't want CM to show them up on releases. But either way, we need to make Samsung aware of our demands. And Entropy, thank you VERY much for your efforts with NFC, and WiFi tether. It's much appreciated!
Code was already released for S2 international version...see zedomax website.

No, it hasn't been released (except for the GPL kernel source) - nothing ICS-related, none of the audio libraries or anything like that have source code.
zedomax.com has nothing but pages and pages of stupid Top Five posts.

If only they would...I'm sure they're planning some event around it.
lol we can only hope.
I just saw this on Google+ and YouTube. A developer by the name of Jason Parker has gotten the Nexus Q to run a rebased version of CM9.

I hope we can support him.
Hope he doesn't get mad, just wanted to bring this to everyone since I thought it was so cool.

Hi everybody!! I have a question regarding MIUI lincensing. Is it open source or closed souce?? Because you can find the source code available to download at github, but in other sites it's said it is closed source. Maybe it is mixed source. What do you think?? I want to promote the freedom of Android, but I also love (really, I'm in love) MIUI.

AFAIK its open source. It used to be closed source though.
Thanks for your fast response!! Any other thoughts??

MIUI is closed sourced and in violation of the GPL laws. They have open sourced some apps partly but never fully. They are known for taking the work of others and not giving back to the dev community. Add in some real security issues.

So MIUI's source is not actually in github, just some apps of it??

Right. And not even the full source. That is why they are not respected around here. They took most of their coding from CM and then made it closed sourced.

Mmm I don't like that. It's a shame since MIUI is by far my favourite rom out there. Do you think there's anything like it but open source. And please, don't tell me about OpenMIUI, it's ugly as hell.

Depends on what you mean by "anything like it" There are people working on taking MIUI and reverse enginering it and then gonna release the source but that is still some time away. MIUI doesnt do anything that most CM based roms dont do.
It violates gpl its a closed source.
It's one of the reasons why xda doesn't officialy support miui

Hit Thanx Button if i helped you!
I am due for an upgrade June 1st, and one of the biggest things I am looking at is the dev communities for each. I absolutely despise Touchwiz, which means, if I get the S4, I'm unlocking it literally the second it is in my hand, On the flipside, I would like to keep up with Android versions, so the 4.1.2 on the HTC One irks me a bit(so I'd unlock that as well). Anyway, I was wondering if any of the devs here are working on, or planning to get and work on, either of these devices. It would be kind of nice to keep the same ROMs across devices if possible. Thanks!

This is the correct forum? I guess I should edit my post to make it clearer, but I was asking if any Nexus 10 devs are also working on either device.

hey my upgrade is June 1st as well lol
i think im going to get the S4. looks like $149.99 for Sprint?
tried last week (about 15days til 1st) said i could get can early upgrade for $100. smh
today is about 9 days i guess, wonder if they will let me upgrade without that fee
As soon as there is an unlock for the ATT Galaxy S4 I bet Ktoonsez will start making kernels for that. he has a great kernel for the S3 and I know he owns an S4 now.
