Here it is.........
GPU driver source was one of the major things missing to port newer roms to the S5, but the S5 is still missing many more things to be able to get a source level port of roms (ie the source for other drivers)
At least hypothecially if used to port CM9/etc to the S5 at least it could get GPU acceleration so everything either works fast or doesnt work at all.
There's still other things though, I dont recall touchscreen driver source being available, and the touchscreen controller on the S5 is rather uncommon(?)
so these two?

The Notion Ink Adam use the same drivers: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/Tegra/NotionInk/Adam/HardwareSpecifications
and there is a pre-alpha ics rom from notion ink here for the Adam http://conclave.notionink.com/showthread.php?1173-ICS-Android-4.0-alpha-Download-and-Installation
any of these any help? https://github.com/rrathi/adamICS/tree/master/files
So it does, but regardless I'm not an actual rom dev so you'd need to speak with someone else.
DJ_Steve is one of the official(?) devs for the adam, so I assume he already knew this long ago. But even with that there's likely still more missing.
Also obviously it's not just having the soucre, you also gotta glue together the pieces and that's just as much work, I assume it's the actual gluing together of the pieces that was more of an issue with the TS or something. But I'm working off old memory, I could be wrong about all the details.

Hi,
I'm searching for detailed hardware specification of NexusOne and Desire, hardware docs(for peripherals/chips inside those devices). Also, I'd like to know to which extent these two devices have open source drivers implemented or if not, whether someone is working on drivers which are missing. If someone knows more and can provide more info, that'd be greatly appreciated.

pretty much, the hardware in these devices is already supported by Android Source Code, especially processor and wifi.
Graphics, bluetooth, and more are inherently a problem.
I know this from seeing results of building android (w/o sense) from source for the HTC Hero, which these devices are similar to, in terms of hardware and software cooperation (of course these have spec bumps).
ONCE HTC posts the kernel source, deving/compiling stuff for these devices should be 300% easier
How detailed of specs do you want?

QSD8250 should have an integrated graphics core, I was wondering whether open source 2D/3D drivers would be available.

I have read that sources for HTC Desire should be available within 2 months.
Did HTC or Google still not release the kernel sources for Nexus One?

Attention all developers!, It has come to my understanding that porting ICS to our Ace would be a task, but what about making a port of a port? wouldn't that simplify the whole process?
Even tho i9000 has better hardware to our ace it is still obsolete and much older to our device which removes any doubt that older devices are unable to receive ice cream sandwich.
A copy of the port can be found HERE, a few things aren't working at the moment but it does boot and hardware acceleration does work. The first post also contains all the github links so all those with porting knowledge this could be useful. Please spare some time to explore the possibilities. Cheers!

Very interesting post here, the guy is now working on a AOSP ICS port to the P500 which has similar architecture to our ace
I don't think porting a port would help, Galaxy S is very different to Ace, it have an ARMv7 cpu and is an hdpi device, Ace has ARMv6 cpu and mdpi screen.

I'm aware of the difference in hardware but porting from a port should be more like a guideline. At the moment the source refers alot to the Nexus secondly if we communicate with the developer porting it to the i9000 surely he would be able to point us in the right direction as many people didn't think it was possible to get ICS on the i9000
Hi!
Please all register at forum of www.cyanogenmod.com and ask for development for our Huawei MediPad.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/50187-cm-for-huawei-mediapad/
As long, we make no noise, all developers at cyanogenmod will think, that there is no nedd for such a development.
Kind regards,

we dont have kernel source code for ICS, only for HC....do you think that CM9 based on honeycomb will be better than official ICS?

If you've ever used the official HDMI output then you would know the answer to that... Hell yeah.

Do you mean that the HC HDMI output is better than the crappy ICS HDMI output thus better using the HC as the base? If that's true then you should try the OsiMood version (ICS based on the Russian firmware)... the HDMI output is much better... no more dithering and higher res output... and Skype works without problem. I recommend OsiMood because it's already rooted.
As for this whole CM9... I don't think you can make a CM9 (which is basically ICS) with HC kernel as the base.
Yes you can. Check the nook color ics...
They built a ics around a gingerbread kernel... So why shouldn't it work with a honeycomb kernel?
It will require some backports but other than that it should be doable.
I don't want to damp-down you enthusiasm, but seriously, what do you want to achieve with this?
Even if a motivated and skilled dev is found (please note that rac! already seems to work on a port as announced in the dev forum), he still needs the device. Also, the Mediapad community is very small compared to others and there is less fame to be gained with a port.
The only benefit I can get out of this is to bring some more attention to the device. I don't believe that because of the cm-thread a dev will pick up a MP/SB and start dev'ing for it.
Anyway, good luck!
Hello.
Is it possible to port/compile/get working somehow ICS on a device that runs only Froyo? I mean, the only available and supported ROM is Froyo. If it is possible, how can I start with getting ICS working on it? Just compile ICS and pack needed drivers and libs into it?
This device is GSmart G1317D with small amount of RAM and 240x400 screen.

It would be possible however drivers are not as simple as taking them from froyo, ICS require its own drivers different to those found in froyo so porting drivers becomes a really pain

I see. I've used Google for a while and I found a similar model to this phone but with ICS. It's only with a bit faster processor and a bit bigger screen. Is it possible to port that ROM to this phone? That phone is G1342 from the same manefacturer.

Ok, I'll look for those info. Thank you.
I got a Project Tango tablet from work, it has k1 tegra chipset and it is stuck on original firmware, which is android 4.4.4 and doesnt performs very well on normal tasks as far as it is very powerfull hardware. Any chance I can upgrade it with custom firmware? Maybe shield tablet which has similar hardware without the special sensors?
Last time I had the tango (back in July 2016) there were no custom firmware/rom for it. I would check out the Tango Devs group on G+ to see if anyone has created an update for it.
Any news about this? Any help would be much appreciated.

First off you are going to need root the device. Then a custom recovery. Then you can think of customs ROMS if you can work out the hardware and the appropriate drivers.
Just because it has the same processor as the Shield does not mean that all the other hardware is the same.

Thanks, the process is crystal clear, I just wanted to know if anybody already advanced anything in this device, but it feels as there is no progress at all, so It will be worth to sell this nearly new tablet and buy another device with more community working with it. A shame, with 128Gb emmc, 4Gb RAM and a powerfull processor...
It would be great if we could get any assistance from Google on this, I highly am doubtful they will release kernels but it is worth trying to petition them to release them, or anything of value towards this, to the community. The hardware is excellent on the tango Dev tablet, but at this point the software is absimal, and, as is, barely functions. I find most software cannot run and constant glitches make using it worse than a contemporary generic device despite an excellent touchscreen and the tegra processor.
I have rooted my Tango tablet, but what hopes do we have of a community rom running any newer version of Android? (5.1+) The shield tablet has similar hardware and could maybe be used as a base to develop from, as the basic kernel will be similar. anyone determine what wifi/Bluetooth hardware is on board the tango?
Come on Google, help us get full functionality and release the kernels!
Is there any one behind this project?

if you want the development of the kernel at least started, make the kernel start logs. use the program syslog from Google Play for example.
I completely forgot that I found and downloaded the source code of the kernel on this tablet. The kernel is there version 3.10.24. With a strong desire, it could easily be adapted to the modern kernel 3.10.96.
I have the possibility of getting this tablet sub $100 and would be extremely interested if a newer Android could be loaded here. Or even maybe something like UBports (formerly Ubuntu Touch)

So you don't know exactly if these were the most recent version of the source?
If these are not the latest, it's better than nothing. I'm going to share these with that other guy and on reddit. Thank you for uploading these.
For anyone following this, the latest kernel appears to be here https://github.com/r3pwn/android_kernel_google_yellowstone
Hi guys, orginal Android 4.4 is still the latest Rom available, correct ?
HI.. I need the ROM stock for this device, Someone?
Hi again.. I found this on github, someone know something about this project?
NVIDIA AOSP device tree for building Project Tango Android 7.0
https://github.com/Project-Google-Tango/android_device_google_yellowstone
Anonikat I looked at that too. How great would that be? A 7.0 N even if I'd loose some Tango functionality. I'd just like it as a regular tablet, personally.

Closest I've seen so far that seems functional for the most part is LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) that's listed as an unofficial release in this forum.
