[Kernel Source] - Droid Incredible Android Development

So I guess Htc/VZ decided to release the source: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec_cc1c2268.tar.bz2

good luck.

We have been down this road before with several other devices...
HTC has ALWAYS released the source code....within a few months or so.
You can email all you want, but your going to get generic responses, and its going to be released anyways.
The phone is only available for pre-order and its not even the 29th yet...so give them sometime.
Cheers!

Will having the kernel source for the Incredible make rooting the device easier because of the potential for "work arounds".
From what Paul is saying over at Modaco, it seems HTC is going out of their way to make the Desire and Incredible "more secure"... which means locking down bootloader, kernel, etc. More of a pain for rooting... agh!

No worries at all man
Glad to see you getting involved...
We blasted HTC before with thousands of emails, and even got News sources involved, but since all that they have always released the source codes within a few months or so.
Cheers!

Droid Eris was released on 11/6/09; kernel source code is still not released.

Re: Kernel Source, lets ask Htc for it.

I should have been more clear. I was referring too 2.1, but since that's not technically released on the eris yet, my whole post is wrong.
Nothing to see here, move along!

LOL...good job catching yourself

My my I think it worked. Congrats!!

Its a marketing strategy because they know people are going to mod it anyway, so this way if people mod it, they are more inclined to stay with the device and HTC.

[Q] Web OS

I'm just asking this out of curiosity but let me get to the point. I'm a big fan of MIUI and CyanogenMod 7 on my Captivate and of course those operating systems were not designed to be on the Captivate. Well I was wondering because the Captivate is a popular phone if it would be possible to port Web OS to the phone.
From G1 forum:
samrozzi said:
ok saw a post on the sprint hero boards and wanted to ask over here aswell since the g1 area has a lot more developers for it.
would porting webOS to an android phone seem possible? I had a palm pre for a bit was cool and fast, I like android more but the thought of running it would be cool

In a word:
No.
In more words:
We need drivers. There are no WebOS drivers for Android devices. Many of the existing drivers that we need are proprietary, meaning (and I'm not sure on this part) most likely the hardware specifications necessary to write drivers are closed as well. If they are not closed, it would be possible--but not for a team of geeks like XDA. You'd need a major entity, like Google, to do it, which won't happen. Besides, not all of WebOS is completely open-source, just like not ALL of what goes into Android phones is. It's just not possible--even if the driver issue could be overcome, which it can't.

crushed my dreams =[
but i asked this question because i remember reading an article where the HP CEO said that he would be interested in licensing Web OS to big companies like Samsung. Now lets say it was made available to Samsung. Could it be ported to our Captivates then?

More than likely it would be put on a new phone. I doubt it'll ever be open enough to be ported.

Only if Samsung ported it over to the captivate/sgs, i wouldn't put a bet on it though. Now maybe getting ice cream sandwich has more hope than web os

Two words my man: Cyanogenmod. Nemesis.
Hopefully HTC gets what's coming to it soon though. My frickin GS2 has 4.1.2!
Anyway, why is this here?
This has been posted before I think. And I'm sure it's not an issue for anyone that has that phone, just install a ROM with the latest android version.
Yea that article is referring to a different phone, it doesn't even look remotely similar to our phone and we'll definitely be getting our 4.2 update
We'll see 4.3 and yeah it's a repost. They need a phone that has upgradable hardware. Just dreamin.

Regardless, the One S is completely deserving of a 4.2 update. HTC can't not update their devices like that. Again, Nemesis is coming soon, so hopefully the guys in the ville fora will be all right.
Ya the one s is not the one

maybe he thought the S in One S meant "Sprint" lol
Another thing to mention is that this only applies to the S3 version of the One S, which is a small market. The normal S4 version has been confirmed by HTC to be receiving Sense 5.

What exactly is in 4.2 that makes the One S deserving of it? It has barely any improvements and the majority of the phone ones are aesthetic that sense already has. The major improvements from 4.1 to 4.2 are for tablets (multiuser support). Not sure why everyone thinks just because 4.2 is newer, it has to be better... This isn't 1.6 to 2.3 or 2.3 to 4.0... The only thing I am looking forward to in 4.2 is a new bluetooth stack, but I can wait for 4.3 if need be.
Now 4.1 to 4.3 is significant and if HTC told us we weren't getting 4.2.2 now but later we will get 4.3 I will be incredibly happy (stability fixes, native AVCRP 1.3 profiles (very important for bluetooth car headsets), OpenGL ES 3, New Media Codecs, ect.)

It's not about the number. It's about sending a message.
OK that didn't work.
It's a matter of principle. How can HTC abandon a year old device? It was their second most high end device when released. How would you feel if you got stuck at 4.2? The One S got bumped up from 4.0 to 4.1. Sense 5 is way better than 4, IMHO, although I only used the latter for about a week.
Surely the OS on the 1S isn't perfectly optimized yet? If it is, and the battery life/responsiveness is as good as it is going to get, the fine. No need of 4.2 update.

[Q] Forum for "Verizon" One

Is there going to be a sub-forum setup for the Verizon One that is supposed to be released on 15 August? (was August 1)
Hopefully so that the Verizon users don't clutter with their unable to unlock boot loader, my phone has bulk load of Verizon crap, my phone looks ugly with that big ugly Verizon logo, when can we get root, when we can get 4.2.2 update and so on..

NBD. I heard it the day earlier and didn't know about the announcement. He told me what turned out to be an hour before the twitter announcement. Stupid work gets in the way from posting on here.
Now... just need to decide if i want it. The good news for me is my upgrade date isn't until the 30th, so I'll be able to follow posts here on hackability of the verizon version and hit the store to check it out. I might buy it from the Dell mobility site. They are throwing in the $99 dre beat headphones which I don't care about but I figure by the time I buy, maybe it will be a google play or dell gift card.
So how do we go about getting an HTC One Verizon forum?
So the VZW One was released today. Is it getting a forum or not?

question about vz and sprint 4.2.2

so since vz has the 4.2.2. and is cdma, would it be save to assume it would be a port to sprint or do we still have to wait until sprint releases?

Even if it cant, Jason Mackenzie of HTC claims the company wants to release 4.3 by the end of September on all variants (not just dev edition) so it wont be too much longer.

Sorry but I am still hopeful that the Vzn release will give the devs what they need to at least move the Sprint device forward with updated roms just in case there are "delays"...

Yeah, since the VZW phone drops today, I'm wondering how long (rather, how quick) it will be before the devs get a hold of it and rip out the source! It's days like this that make me wish I had the time and knowledge for coding.

Use the version you develop. Clearly that doesn't exist yet
Same thing every android release. It'll be out after the official release, and source code drops. Don't know how long it will take, but it'll get there. We had a very long wait for 5.0 because of massive changes, not to mention that every time he got it working on one dev version, it was broken as heck on the next dev version, so we just have to wait and see. Hope that explains it well enough. Better than a "When it's ready", or "none" answer everyone always gives.
The Nexus images are now live so I would guess the source won't be far behind it. Can someone comment on the number of changes to ART compared to Lollipop. From the surface it seems that Marshmallow should be 5.2 and not 6.0 but maybe all the changes are under the hood.
It is coming:
rovo89:
"In framework version 74, I have fixed some more incompatibilities which could lead to bootloops or crashes. I assume that most of these crash logs contained the string "Incompatible set properties", which is actually a consequence of previous method verification errors. It's hard to say which ROMs and devices were affected - but flashing the new version shouldn't hurt even if everything looks fine with older versions. If you do notice any issues and are sure that it's not caused by yourself, you have higher chances of getting them fixed if you open a detailed GitHub issue (usually I will need at least a full logcat).
I won't be able to work on Xposed for the next 2-3 weeks - no time for development, support or questions at all. If the rumors I have read are right, I should be ready just in time to start porting Xposed to M."

Remember, the reason why it took so long for an official version for android 5.0 was because lollipop uses ART environment and xposed whas always made for dalvik originally.
So I think it will take less time now.

I haven't been able to find it, only snarky comments from users here about how its obviously not done. I have checked all the stickeys in this forum as well as the development one...
I doubt you will get much info on progress, as users tend to hold any claims against developers... But I would have though there would be something official saying "its in progress" to try and help stop the inquiries.
Oh well, will be a nice surprise when it drops.
