Ok so google has now officially released the android source code and SDK. So now there are endless possibilities to what can be done with it, it can be ported to any device.
I'll leave the devs to think about that but till then heres the link:
http://source.android.com/ Info about the source
http://code.google.com/android/ Download SDK from here.

Did the release of the source code for Sapphire/Magic and Hero change the development of ROM's.
I've yet to see any mention about ROM's being based on HTS's source code.
Did I miss something?
I thought there would have been a bigger commotion about it.

Just wondering...
Does this mean we can bake an SGS2 ROM with Android 3.2 now, or are the listed caveats insurmountable?
Android 3.2 source code available
As usual, and just like we had done before for Android 3.0 and 3.1,
the source code for the GPL and LGPL components of Android 3.2 is
available in the Android Open-Source Project, under the tag
android-3.2_r1
The process to build it is the same as what we had for 3.0 and 3.1:
# start from a master client
repo init -m 3.2-base.xml
repo sync
repo forall -c git checkout android-3.2_r1
# build with the regular process
# to come back to a plain master
repo init -m default.xml
repo sync
The caveats are unchanged since 3.1:
-the checkout command will return an error message because the tag
doesn't exist in all projects, ignore it.
-the compiled isn't any more likely to work on actual hardware as 3.1
did, since the same binary incompatibilities are still there.

honeycomb is just meant for tablets not cellphones..
ditto to the guy above me...
and this belongs in general, read the damn stickies!
We have known for about week now as well... thanks for the old news!
<Ninpo> rofl it's only the GPL and LGPL components
<Ninpo> so not the full thing by a long shot since most of Android is Apache licensed
Also, this is only the LGPL and GPL components, which is a hell of a long shot away from being actual Honeycomb sources, since most of Android is under the Apache license.
I remember reading that Google will release full source code for Honeycomb some time after Ice Cream Sandwich release.
Hi ALL:
I want building the ICE Source For My P6800, but I don't know where get it.
Thanks.
There's no ICS kernel or source available yet. You can try working from the current HC kernel source available on Samsungs open source portal though.
The rest of the Android source code you can get from AOSP or another open source project.

I'm not trying to be rude, but how is it possible that you know what to do with kernel source but you don't know how to use google search?
https://opensource.samsung.com < will this work for you or do you need a direct link to the file? In that case, do you need the P6800 or P6810 kernel source?
I downloaded P6800's code from opensource.samsung.com, and compiled the kernel, but I try to get the honeycomb 3.2 source from source.android.com, got same error.
repo init -u https ://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android_3.2.4_r1
error: revision android_3.2.4_r1 in manifests not found.
There is P6800 Readme.

How to build platform
