Isn't it for tablets?

[hecatae]

I just want to look at the apps in the system.img, if no one has it I'll grab it myself

[Victor von Zeppelin]

Honeycomb isn't just for tablets, but it doesn't have the nessecary launcher installed for out WVGA screens.

If you set the screen size of the emulator to 800x480, you get a very android 2.2 style notification bar, with 3.0 style icons...and a force close notification decked out in Honeycomb blue and black.

[hecatae]

interesting, downloading now

[Victor von Zeppelin]

Also, it's the slowest emulator i've ever used. EVER

[hecatae]

it's dying on my netbook

Interesting... Just gunna look at it now. Maybe the JJ 9 kernel will work with it

[hecatae]

which apps would be worth trying on JJ9?

[domenico lamberti]

i was searching the interwebs and found an article on pocketnow about this guy that had ported honeycomb to his DROID incredible,  would it be possible to do an SDK port onto the Blade ?

Yeah i guess it would be possible to get it to boot. To get it to a usable point though not any time soon. The Incredible port isn't ready for everyday use afaik.

no i saw the video its nowhere near ready, but if we could get even a alpha booting i would love to try it out , or for one of you awesome guys to try it and see if we (i mean the forum not just one or 2 guys) can get it running like the nook colour in the states , has a pretty fast "HoneyNOOK" build and thats from the SDK so , meh if we can it'll be awesome

[That-Guy]

Would be nice but the devs are still getting 2.3 (CyanogenMod) polished off so I would let them get that 100% first

Of course  

[Victor von Zeppelin]

I don't really see the point, considering it's pretty much been declared that Honeycomb is for tablets, and that Ice Cream will be for both, the one that unifies the two.

+1
Honeycomb just wouldn't work well on any small screened device

[hecatae]

so we would need boot.img and system,img from sdk

split boot.img and roll our own kernel

use proprietary files from cm7 build for network etc

it would not be perfect, but as it's only a preview that wont matter

[Jekle]

It might not be perfect for small screens but I suppose its worth a try it isn't impossible, is honeycomb meant to be faster than gingerbread?

[hecatae]

0.2 inches between the htc desire and zte blade screens http://www.gsmarena....p;idPhone2=3391

same resolution, and desire already has a port with working network http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=962759

[Jekle]

I've got the Android SDK with the Honeycomb preview, is there anything i can do e.g uploading system.img etc.

http://ul.to/xv000e
This was uploaded by hecatae a month back, its the honeycomb system img as a zip file
