Gingerbread port

[Guest barmyman]

Found this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6500631/2.3.tar.gz

so, can someone port it to our beloved Liquid?

[Guest android76]

If I had time in the week-end I will try to port this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863884

It's a very alpha build ( port of the system.img of the 2.3 SDK) for HTC Desire.

I have try it in my Desire and it's slow and not stable

I promises you nothing but I am going to try with Phh's Kernel

In these days i'm working on GingerBread, made some little steps, will update about the situation ASAP. But don't ask for ETAs :)

[Guest jayziac]

Good to see efforts being made :)

[Guest bais]

It's nice but pretty much pointless, it'll lag too much, we'll probably see some better gingerbread the 16th.

what's going on the 16th?

[Guest bais]

Nexus S will be out, we'll probably have a dump and it'll be a good base for a port.

[Guest jayziac]

how will this differ than the gingerbread SDK? I'm assuming we still have to use Liquid's own kernel and not Nexus S.

SDK is like a tiny android version, that's why a dump is better than SDK. Missing many things.

SDK is not intend to be run on phones.

Can be useful a dump from Nexus One? If arrive soonest.

[Guest elgubbo]

i think a N1 dump might be more useful since it has similar hardware as the Liquid... but thats just the idea of a total noob when it comes to porting/compiling/editing android ...

im just trying to write easy apps on android, but i think thats a lot easier/different to porting ...

[Guest studjuice]

a dump will be better than the sdk. but the source will be better than a dump.

[Guest akira.pwr]

Well, let's see when my Nexus will be updated, I'll dump it if needed, but I'll need a tutorial to do it.

[Guest Rajit]

Google had said that they will be open sourcing 2.3 in a couple of weeks. Lets wait for that and a 2.3 update for N1, which will be easier to port than the NS rom.

Nexus S kernel sources are out- http://twitter.com/dnaltews/status/14849739858116608#

And it will be in AOSP shortly after Nexus S ships- http://phandroid.com/2010/12/15/gingerbrea...eal-fun-begins/

Hope this can help make progress

[Guest am5a03]

but is it possible to run on the A1?

Since it only got 256MB ram :)

[Guest fischschneehase]

sure by using swap

[Guest HustlinDaily]

According to Dan Morrill of Google- http://twitter.com/morrildl/status/12288891482542081

Android has never had hard processor reqmts, tho older devices do fall behind. GB H/W needs are similar to FY.

While I realize that we aren't talking about processors, the words "Gingerbread hardware needs are similar to Froyo" leads me to believe that we should be fine. Acer won't release it (highly doubtful) BUT I am sure it can be ported and working well for us. My guess is that Honeycomb will be 3.0 and that will have hardware requirements.

Nice. Has anyone taken a look yet?

[Guest xaueious]

Devs please do not waste your time on this

[Guest bais]

Apparently source is being pushed now.

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]
