Isn't it for tablets?

[Guest hecatae]

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

[Guest 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.

[Guest hecatae]

interesting, downloading now

[Guest Victor von Zeppelin]

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

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

[Guest hecatae]

which apps would be worth trying on JJ9?

[Guest 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

[Guest 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 :D

Of course :D

[Guest 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

[Guest 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

[Guest 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?

[Guest hecatae]

0.2 inches between the htc desire and zte blade screens http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...p;idPhone2=3391

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

[Guest 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

you would need to build your own kernel http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...t/#entry1553367 and make the boot.img

if we can get a working boot.img, everything else should be easier

I'm going to use the new cm7 boot.img, hack the build prop to point to qcril.so and see what happens

boots :D

upside down :D

uploaded how far I got

build.prop needs fully rewriting, and all the proprietary files need including

and libsurface something will revert the screen to normal, might as well take it from cm7

screenshots of honeycomb on nexus one are here:

[Guest hecatae]

Well here is the only thing that was required for me to do in order to have a working boot.img :

Dump your current working boot.img

Unpack it

Uncompress boot.img-ramdisk.gz

ADD the dnsproxy line in init.rc for netd daemon service

Code:

service netd /system/bin/netd

socket netd stream 0660 root system

socket dnsproxyd stream 0660 root inet <----

Recompress edited ramdisk

Create your new boot.img

Swap the boot.img in the update.zip and it should work. If u have an instruction error(0) while flashing you'll have to change the updater binary in META-INF/ for one that is compiled for your ARM version.

[Guest Azurren]

I take back my previous comment. Honeycomb looks awesome on both the desire and Nexus one!

But what about the settings and gmail, that will surely need to be changed (2.3 versions?)

[Guest Jekle]

I would really appriciate if someone could make a boot.img for honeycomb as hecatae said making the boot.img is the easiest part.

Hold on someone has!

[Guest Jekle]

hecatae did you replace libsurfaceflinger?
