Yes, please. (Honeycomb)

Amen to that. You know - i ahve seen other phones have semi-working rom builds created from the SDK images. I am sure its just a pip dream, but damn it would be sweet if we could be working on honeycomb now.... 
If we can get the Nook Color running gingerbread that would beyond awesome, honeycomb and I might just piss myself.

I love it (and thanks for trying exactly what i was thinking of)! Sure, it isn't fully working, but it provides a TON of hope that with some work, Honeycomb can be made to work.
Once the source code is on AOSP then getting working ROMs for other platforms should be much easier. I think one of the problems we might see is driver support since the underlying kernel for Honeycomb might be different.
It does indeed run very slow so far.
Touchscreen is working now. I'll try to get the graphics acceleration running over the weekend that should help with performance.
(and I think it's stupid that I can't post or reply in the development forum without having more than 10 posts.)

If you get a bootable SD card out of this, you'd become a legend on these forums (At least in my eyes)
If you don't, you still get huge respect for getting this working on your device.
It is an effort to keep people from finding out about XDA on yahoo or something and then coming here and going into the dev section saying make it work for me...NOW!!
Which sadly happens a great deal. Seen it many times in my years around here.
I'm sure that you will appreciate it when you have less of that to deal with when you hit another few posts and can start your first thread in the dev section.
You obviously have something to contribute so just post replies to a few posts in the general section here and you will be on your way.
Looking forward to the work you have started!!
Agreed - please keep up your work, and hit up the dev section after 10 posts. I would LOVE to see work progress on honeycomb!
Awesome. I may be wrong but isn't this the first HC port?
I would call it a port. but yes. first hardware to run it
Congrats! You made Engadget!

45for all the people that can't wait:
graphics acceleration more or less working. The SGX driver seems too old for some buffer request of android 3.0, so right now the statusbar is invisible but still functional. Not sure if I can fix that or have to wait for the AOSP release.
What is not working... pretty much everything else, no accelerometer, no wlan, no sound. Haven't started working on those things yet.26It does indeed run very slow so far.

(and I think it's stupid that I can't post or reply in the development forum without having more than 10 posts.)21I made a zombie out of the honeycomb preview and one of the nook kernels.
Touch input doesn't work, no hardware acceleration etc.2020A small update:
The graphics problem is due to the SGX drivers not supporting RGBX_8888 and android assuming it works. With the honeycomb source this would be no problem to fix with some ifs and a recompile. So instead I'm patching the binaries by hand. The statusbar still isn't visible but at least other programs work now instead of showing a black screen.
Still haven't looked into why the sensors don't work. I assume the interface might have changed ... I can see the acceleration sensor working at /dev/input/event3
I have it running from an SD card. It also seems to hibernate/sleep without a problem now.
I'll upload all of this to github and upload a binary somewhere when it's a little bit more usable.
Patience is a virtue (= I have a social life too).
