Source code - Vibrant General

Samsung has released the Android 2.2 source code for its Fascinate 3G+ for Telus. Which is basically the US Vibrant, good news?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I think samsung knows that vibrant owners are frustrated.. so they released the source code for the great developer to create roms off of...
Software must not be ready yet for the US variants and this is the least samsung can do, the source code as a band aid until the official froyo releases for the US vibrant..
edit.. oh samsung will release the code anyway.

Im normally not the type who nags on anyone's twitter... but after reading yesterday's maddening news/rumor about samsung flawed business practices that promotes greediness.. i did on both their twitter accounts.. lol..

Canadian Galaxy S phones getting Froyo mid-December/early 2011 - how about us?

Samsung Mobile Canada has announced via Facebook that "Android 2.2 will be released for Vibrant from Bell and Captivate from Rogers in mid-December, and for the Fascinate from TELUS in early 2011. We’ll post further details as they become available."
http://www.androidcentral.com/canadian-galaxy-s-phones-get-froyo-update-news
Hmmm... Makes me wonder if USA variants will get Froyo before or after that deadline. My guess is after considering we have no set deadline, but hey who knows.
Lots of apologies incoming to the OP in that other thread where he said it was coming in 2011, Lol.
Samsung said that all Galaxy S variants would get FroYo this year. Way to go!
The TELUS Fascinate is one of the newest Galaxy S phones, it's model number is the T959D. That's probably why it has a release slated for later than the others. It's the newest one, they JUST started to sell the Vibrant w/ 8503G (T959D) AKA the Fascinate this month.
Samsung Canada making the Froyo announcement before US counterpart is a huge slap in the face for Samsung US, especially since Canada joined the Galaxy S game so late.
I personally do not care when the newest galaxy S phone was introduced. Samsung confirmed that ALL galaxy S phones will be updated with Froyo this year (2010). The Canadian announcement mentioning 2011 is an example of how creditable Samsung really is, while at the same time making the US branch the worst of all.

When they said that the T959D didn't exist. Give it a rest
I think they're just delaying in spite of the US users. Just to piss us off. Since there's a large number of people who harass them on FB and Twitter

In this case Samsung should not use strong words such as "will". This is basic PR.
At this point it's probably more likely that Samsung will skip Froyo altogether in the states and go straight to Gingerbread. Especially now that the Nexus S is official and running 2.3.
As a faithful galaxy s user allow me to weigh in. Samsung is going to update us back to donut. **** them. I don't care what anyone her says it's rediculous that a "flagship" newly released line of phones like our gets froyo so late in the game. When we get froyo, it will be as obsolete as eclair is now. Believe me if u look through my 450+ post u will not see more than maybe one flame, but **** you Samsung. You are self ensuring that u will be ur own worst enemy in the smart phone game. Samsung: bend over and kiss your ass goodbye, if u don't do something soon you will be out.

They are still releasing phones with Android 2.1 on them... For shame...
It's like they have only 2 developers coding the firmware updates for this huge corporation.
I'm waiting for Froyo for my unlocked T-Mobile Vibrant forever. I am in Canada and do not care for froyo for Bell, Rogers, and Telus.

When they initially said it, neither did ANY of the US Galaxy S variants.
Samsung probably looked at the dev section here, saw a bunch of Froyo ROM's and said: "Oh look it is out, what the hell is all commotion about?"

I was asked to by some Evo Developers who want the source code updates to look at. I have experience with getting manufacturers (specifically Samsung in the past) to actually commit and release the opensource code protected by the GNU GPL v2.

most developers are curious how HTC removed the 30 fps cap (took methods developers here created or some alternative way).
also, having the real drivers from HTC for the new hardware 4 phones, basically diff hardware camera is used and i dont think anybody has released a working custom kernel with the correct drivers for the hw 4 camera. it would be nice to see the source code to know for sure whether or not any other hardware changed in ver 4.
among other things, its always great to have the latest source code for the kernel they release as it allows us to keep creating custom kernels either based on HTC's latest drivers or at least be able to use their source code as reference.
hope that helps satisfy your curiosity as to why we are very very happy to finally hear a response from HTC, who hasnt released any of their linux modified kernel source code which falls under the GPL v2 license, for the last few months.
Glad to see you're on it numus I've been wondering what's taking them so long and why more people haven't been complaining about it.

Samsung 2.2 source

Don't start a flame war.
I wont be dealing with it.
Any news on when Samsung will be releasing their source code?
Wasn't there a certain amount of time they have to release the codes after they release the rom? Was it 60 days?
I heard they released it for the captivate, ours can't be too far behind.
I didn't see the US captivate source unless I just entered in the wrong model number.
They must release it in like 30 days.
They dont have any othr choice

From what I get out of this, I have been told I am wrong.... and I honestly hope I am... but this is how I see it.
They have 60days according to the what ever open source agreement I don't feel like remembering what its called right now, ha. AFTER and OFFICIAL update to let the source code go.
HOW EVER! When they announced that they WILL let the source out... they said with in 60days of the OFFICIAL OTA, its all in the wording. Someone else pointed out that an update through Kies is NOT an official update, the only way it is official is if Tmobile pushes it through an OTA... and if you think about it that true.
But they pissed everyone off once and there was a backlash against them.... do you really think they will mess up like that again?

Yes. Source code doesn't look like it will be released soon. When it finally is, I'm pretty sure we will have 2.3.2 working.
CM 7 for Galaxy S is pretty close to done. Codeworkx just posted a video of CM 7 Gingerbread running on the I9000 pretty flawlessly.
It's here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2DsF7VT3ms
Krylon360 is working out the bugs on a TW build of Gingerbread as well (its working, just buggy). And Eugene seems to have figured out the battery drain from the I9000 kernels so if he has indeed, a LOT of I9000 things will be ported. This coming month is my expectation we will see fully functional Gingerbread on the Vibrant.
The source code for Froyo won't be relevant soon really. . .
Official isn't how the copyright is worded. Its 60 days from when you release. Putting something on Kies, an official source of software from Samsung counts as a release. Doesn't have to be OTA, doesn't have to be delivered by UPS, all that matters is it is released through an official channel, which it has been.

Samsung source code for galaxy S phones gingerbread released today

I hope this is a release that is worthy of development for the Fascinate I look forward to see whats next. Our devs so incredible work and i hope this will help them with future development.
This was released two days ago. The code is for international version. Can't do anything with it.

This really doesn't mean much of anything, just like the Froyo version didn't really help us. If Samsung's code wasn't horrible, then yeah. But it is.
(apparently even Samsung's Froyo source for our phone didn't particularly help with AOSP/CM/MIUI porting efforts... yes, Samsung's developers are that bad)

It didn't help because Samsung isn't required to release the source for the parts that are causing the biggest issues. They released what they had to based on the licensing, but that didn't include any of their proprietary code, which is where the problems lie.

[Discussion] Exynos to be open source!

After months of speculation, there is finally something clear about the Samsung Exynos processor…
Samsung will open Source the Mali codes Exynos Codes they will provide binaries all most everything.
This appears from the Samsung Developers Session in America. Samsung who hold today.
The entire information Samsung makes clear later but this is very good news for developers. This Samsung creates a big boost in their community.

Happy to hear that
n more happy to own a *SAMSUNG* galaxy S2.. :good:
Everyone calm down.
This is not done yet.
Yes, Samsung will release Exynos source code. "Hurraay!!!" ??? No!
What they mean by releasing Exynos source code, is that they will release source code for hardware modules for Exynos development boards. We had this for months on insignal website (which is down since a few weeks/months, but used to be up), which contains outdated source code for Exynos boards. We had some bits of Ice Cream Sandwich code back in March or April iirc, that helped Galaxy S II hwcomposer, but that's it. Most of the things were stuck at Gingerbread version, and they don't contain any device-related code.
What does this mean ? For instance, Galaxy S III camera will stay closed, because it is NOT part of Exynos development boards. Galaxy S II audio is still Yamaha proprietary crap, and we will NOT get source code. RIL interface will also remain closed, so all exynos phones will keep on having broken/semi-functional GSM connection (broken Sim Toolkit, unstable data connection, unstable roaming). TV Out will still remain undocumented, and Android interface won't be opensourced (as it is part of TouchWiz on official ROMs). Same applies for FM Radio.
Moreover, Insignal code drops were delayed as hell. As of today, we still haven't got anything from official Samsung Jelly Bean, beside kernel source code because they legally have to. As I said, most of the things on Insignal were old, hwcomposer sources for example weren't working on Galaxy S III (exynos4412), and so on.
Now, I could be wrong and MAYBE they will make this A BIT better (faster code drops), but I'm NOT putting my hopes up on things like Sensors HAL source code, Audio source code, RIL interface documentation, or Camera HAL source code. IMO they just spoke like this to calm down community flood, and make everyone happy and make Samsung look like they're the new holy grail of developers. I'm not trusting this until I actually SEE those improvements.
So, users, be careful, and we'll see how it's going to get.

it was never told to be anything more than Exynos code to be released
If I learnt one thing from buying a samsung was:
Never buy a samsung, unless is a nexus!
I'm not sure what will be the usage of those docs though, most of the developers already migrated from samsung, atleast teamhacksung did
What about Galaxy note 2 AOSP, cm10, aokp ect. roms? Will that be any useful to them as in maybe s pen functionality?

Nice POW I didn't knew all this background before
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Samsung actually didnt want its customers to go for custom. Thats why they put so many features as a part of touchwiz in note 2 rather than independent apps. Its because they want to gather their users to be their advertisement material in future. They want to be the next apple. I heard a rumor that samsung is working on its own OS. they only wanted the developers in their bad times. When they were unable to port the ics to their devices. They actually used the dev community. When their stock roms are delayed its he devs that keep us silent by giving us the custom rom. Plus samsung didnt really want to release the source because most of the features of its new flagship phone will be ported to older devices. Like multi screen multitasking on note 2 will be ported to s3 and note 1. They are scared of this. They just want to sell new devices each year.

Here's Entropy512's take on the recent events:
Entropy512 said:
Ok quick checkin from BABBQ. After this post I'm putting my BT keyboard away and getting drunk, and likely won't return to XDA until Monday or Tuesday evening.
The official announcement was kinda "meh". It's really what's going on behind the scenes that is mattering.
There are multiple devrel people at Samsung, many of whom weren't even aware of each others' existence. They now are, and I have quite a few new contacts. Now, requests from us are probably going to go through multiple chains. Whether this makes a difference, who knows - but it is a potential step forward.
They also had an engineer from LSI that I talked to personally. It was a bit difficult due to the language barrier, but I sort of got the impression that the problems with current Insignal source on our phones aren't phone-specific - some of this **** is broken even on the OrigenBoard itself. Same case for libcamera - it sounds like the current Insignal one is pretty low-quality/broken, and the "new" source may be improved. It won't be directly usable on our devices, but it may represent a significant step forward. e.g. instead of "it's totally and completely broken", it may be "sorta working and needs some tweaking for each camera module" - See, for example, use of the Nexus S libcamera on Aries-family devices - each one has needed device-specific work, but instead of being an insurmountable task, it may be feasible. However, please keep reading regarding maintainer exhaustion...
I also got the impression that future Insignal drops are going to be more aggressively managed by LSI. Again... none of this is official.
November is likely to be another ICS tarball, however, one that is actually working. The engineer I spoke to said that the actual JB differences are minimal. (As in, I know what they are, and in fact we have an implementation of the JB differences in Gerrit already. The problem is the underlying hwcomposer is apparently broken even for OrigenBoard+ICS with the current Insignal source. Functional ICS HWC shouldn't be too hard to JB-ify. (Look at the Nexus S HWC as an example of what needs to be done to go from ICS to JB.)
The new source drop might also allow us to finally fix HDMI.
The problem is - Thanks to the lack of documentation for the past few months, the team of CM maintainers for Exynos are exhausted and far behind on other non-Exynos-specific stuff. So this isn't going to be a magic bullet. It alone probably won't get us M builds.
However the other "behind the scenes" item is that a bunch of Samsung people were here, and they're probably going to be writing trip reports to management. This trip reports are going to likely include the massive amount of pwnsauce Sony dished out. Speaking of that - Espenfjo, xplodwild, and codeworkx, Y U NO FLY HERE? Chainfire, Jerpelea, and Supercurio were all here. U NO GET SMARTWATCH!
So Samsung Mobile might be more receptive to community requests in the future. Our contacts are likely to be in a MUCH better position to facilitate things than before.
So it's a step forward... But it's likely to be months before any of us consider a new Exynos device, and our current devices are likely to always be behind others because we're just too far behind as it is. But if Samsung keeps on improving, after a few months users might see definitive improvements.
With all of that said, I'm off to party and feast. You won't see any more from me until Monday evening at the absolute earliest.

Yeah, at this point it's better to be optimistic. Though we should still keep pressuring them until we have something concrete.

This will make CM stable(its already stable for me but not stable for some samsung rom users here) and we will get future android versions without the help of samsung(if they release the correct sources which are required to cm devs)
