Android L source going live in AOSP
- Thread starter Smallsmx3
- Start date
GPL?
Serious question,
Aren't they violating the GPL by not posting the kernel source yet?
Or is the assumption that they are releasing it soon so all is well?

Its about time really. I had just read this and thought oh the conversations on Xda right now lol but no not much at all
You lucky you got this. Remember honeycomb, the source wasn't released till after ice cream sandwich was released.

Have they decided on whether it's 4.5 or 5.0 yet? And is it lollipop?

I really peeved at Google right now, and I REALLY hope that this is nowhere near final code. Google disabled translucency for the N10 AGAIN. Either Google somehow doesn't even own their own product and are building blind, or they're just incompetent. There was no performance loss at all on 4.4, yet the disabled it because it "performed poorly." Same with ART, but I don't think Google can get away with that on L(unless they're like "screw you manta, no default runtime for you")....Sorry, I'm in rant mode right now. :silly:
The nexus 10 is such an ill treated device by Google that even in the I/O keynote when they used the nexus 10, it was running 4.3 looool
And Google even used a Samsung tablet for some parts of the demo in the keynote.

Turns out Android Police blew their load early. The whole source was not pushed after all.
They old gave a partial ROM. So you only get partial source. Also the kernel source was released.

Uh right now that is the full ROM so I don't get how it's only partial. Did you expect the full release of L to be out? Makes no sense.

No i mean partial because it's just a preview build. They only have to released source code for what they have put out. The preview build is broken and has all sorts of stuff missing. Its not a full complete build.

They only released source for GPLed code changes and only those that were in the L preview build, everything else was filled in with a recent snapshot from the Main branch. I don't think that building this source branch would even allow you to recapitulate the "full" L preview build on either of the supported devices.
