if you extract the drivers, you can get a readme.txt file which gives rough steps to compile for aosp 4.0

Yay!

Raspberry pi offering $10000 to the first person to port the drivers to the pi.

from what i have heard, theres a cyanogen team, cmbroadcom? , that has started porting the drivers to the samsung y? or something of that nature which is a different broadcom chip but it still means theres progress.

Why ICS? What about JB and KitKat? They would be a lot better!

Team broadcomcm already ported these drivers to
Galaxy y , Galaxy Ace i, Galaxy min i etc most broadcom devices
but colors are Not displayed properly yet
but atleast we got it to work and bootable builds

[PORT][WIP] ICS SDK Port for the HP TouchPad

This is built from the SDK port for the HTC Sensation, combined with the boot.img and other data from the Cyanogenmod 7.1 Alpha 2.1 release for the TouchPad. I've replaced a bunch of the files in an effort to get it to boot, but no dice so far.
Also, I can't seem to get my TouchPad to restore from a Clockwork backup - it works, but it blackscreens and hard-reboots just like this does.
Would love for some help getting it up and running.

EDIT: SOURCE CODE HAS DROPPED. This is just a fun little toy at this point.
I hope you modified the boot.img you pulled from CM.

The issue is in the kernel. Kernel edits are required in the int.d file in the ramdisk. I am not familiar with uImage files and do not know how to edit it. But that's what's causing the blackscreen issue's

I think someone could compile AOKP/AOSP. For HTC Explorer (in my opinion has a hadware with similar limitations) there are four major Roms so far: CM9, CM10, AOKP and Pacman.
CM9 has known bugs and AOKP either, so we will wait to have Broadcom drivers and we'll see! Until then wait ...

I see a aosp or aokp rom on galaxy ace.. but the hardware of ace is almost same as y.
nothing is impossible,
before even users said "SGMini can't handle ICS" but on febuary (correct me if im wrong) 2012 they released a developed Stock ICS for mini,
nothing is impossible,
the question lies on how do we get there and what steps we need to follow,
I have worked on alot of phones like htc explorer,ace,mini and my beloved Y and I know that we can run AOSP easily!
I hope you guys know that cm is BASED ON AOSP!!
Even if we dont have sources to compile, we can port the aosp roms from other phones and make them work easily!

[Q] [REQUEST] Porting CM11 to Galaxy Y

Recently, a XDA member ported CM11 to galaxy ace! and heard that it will soon be available for other low end devices like Mini, Fit, etc!
So, I wonder if it is possible for Hi-Fi Devs to make CM11 just boot on our device (Just like CM9)?

Actually,devs are working on it...I got a pm by lopicl.00 that he is building CMX for tassve and totoro as soon as he completes the builds he will give me for testing. Please be patient,if you cannot,buy a new device rather
And get a Stable CM11
Broadcom has cheated us too,the EGL Drivers which they gave us didn't worked..so devs working hard on it.Let them take their own time and let's be patient till then

I think there will be no use even if Broadcom releases the driver sources.
It is too late. It is because people are migrating from Samsung Galaxy Y and buying some other device that has cool developments.
There are few chances that they will return to this device.

I need not reply for the post. The answer is in the same link that you have provided. Read the reply posts in that thread and you will come to know yourself!!
And to think that other companies are actually helping users, like Motorola releasing the source code of the RAZR D3.
And people are to blame Google because of fragmentation when companies themselves help fragmentation happen.
Galaxy Y can't receive real Jelly Bean. All ROMS you see like JellyBlast and Nemesis and many more are stock-based. The only different ROM that is different is CyanogenMod 7, which is actually 2.3.7 instead of stock 2.3.6 .
Galaxy Y cannot receive a Jelly Bean build. Even if it ever receives a ported build, it might be full of bugs. For example, CyanogenMod 9 is said to be real ICS but it's full of bugs.Most ROMS that appear as ICS+ are probably themed, or tweaked with build.prop editor
I wish the developers are doing the best in order to satisfy you and many other Galaxy Y users.

Yes, I will not undo my galaxy y ... something like the specific kernel that uses biel in your CM9 Beta 1 may serve in the future. Galaxy Y has served for many entering the world of android and learn about the advanced, which can be used in future smartphones. One day will repeat a similar story that no one will want to support us.
Its long back since I forgot the dream of ICS+. People don't waste your time on such threads. Better get a new phone, never go for Broadcom. You will be happy and get every Android version update.
(Samsung Galaxy SL, released in 2011 like SGY, got stable Kitkat and not to forget nexus phones who have seen every android version)
We already have sent petition from change.org but
Broadcom will never release required Libraries (I wonder why people mistake and call it "drivers")
and no stable version will be possible.
I am not pessimist, neither I have lost hope (I am personally trying to fix things) but I am just being realistic.
