Being an "open source Home Replacement app", I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to find a public repository where I could get ADWLauncher's code.
Looking at its google projects page, it seems that the project is quite active, yet the latest source I could find is under the CyanogenMod github, with ongoing translations but with sources last updated 3 months ago... In AnderWeb's github things are even worse with last commit over a year ago...
Does anyone know of a public repository where i could get the project's latest source code?
Thanks!
Found it !
Hi florpor,
you can find ADW Launcher repository on GitHub.
As I'm a new user, I cannot post you the URL, so here is the info to find it :
on github, look at the "AnderWeb" user projects. It is the one named "android_packages_apps_Launcher".
However, the project seems to be stalled.
Have a nice chekout
I don't think there is any source for the new version. There were many contributors on that project, but it looks like they have all agreed to go proprietary all of a sudden. They haven't announced anything on their project page, so who knows what's going on.
There are some interesting Chinese Android Devices coming out. I am interested in a SmartQ but they do not provide their source code. Not that I don't trust China Inc, but is there any way to check if /protect against the device is stealing, for examples, my Google Account Information?
My company is working on an in car device that is operating by Android Jelly Bean. I know android is open source but is there any reason fro me to believe I need Google's permission to install on such device the Google Play market?
Appreciate your responses.

I don't think anyone has an answer to your question. You can try to read the open source details and license information on Google's open source.

You don't need permission to use it, just that it should comply with Google's CTS guidelines. Those are a series of hardware and software checks to determine that the device is suitable to run the Google Apps (which are closed source). I don't think there should be any problem if you use any of the Google Apps from the respective Gapps package (http://goo.im/gapps).

Google Play is NOT open source so it cannot legally be distributed with a device without Google's approval. Its not heavily enforced as I see many generic Android tablets and TV sticks shipping with Google Play, many of which probably haven't been approved.
From Android FAQ: http://source.android.com/faqs.html
If my device is compatible, does it automatically have access to Google Play and branding?
Google Play is a service operated by Google. Achieving compatibility is a prerequisite for obtaining access to the Google Play software and branding. Device manufacturers should contact Google to obtain access to Google Play.
If I am not a manufacturer, how can I get Google Play?
Google Play is only licensed to handset manufacturers shipping devices. For questions about specific cases, contact [email protected].
How can I get access to the Google apps for Android, such as Maps?
The Google apps for Android, such as YouTube, Google Maps and Navigation, Gmail, and so on are Google properties that are not part of Android, and are licensed separately. Contact [email protected] for inquiries related to those apps.
Is compatibility mandatory?
No. The Android Compatibility Program is optional. Since the Android source code is open, anyone can use it to build any kind of device. However, if a manufacturer wishes to use the Android name with their product, or wants access to Google Play, they must first demonstrate that the device is compatible.
How much does compatibility certification cost?
There is no cost to obtain Android compatibility for a device. The Compatibility Test Suite is open-source and available to anyone to use to test a device.
How long does compatibility take?
The process is automated. The Compatibility Test Suite generates a report that can be provided to Google to verify compatibility. Eventually we intend to provide self-service tools to upload these reports to a public database.
Who determines what will be part of the compatibility definition?
Since Google is responsible for the overall direction of Android as a platform and product, Google maintains the Compatibility Definition Document for each release. We draft the CDD for a new Android version in consultation with a number of OEMs, who provide input on its contents.
