Well, so I understand you have the source code, right?
Are you planning on making a port for our Archoses, or just for the galaxy Tab?

    EDIT: This tutorial is outdated. We have a massive problem with the touchscreen

    Hi to all!
    I am the owner of an Archos 101 and I thought, why not port Honeycomb?
    So I've used the SDK images that Google published and I've booted Honeycomb on the Archos 101. But anything works
    Some screens http://twitter.com/licuende/statuses/36070541160878081
    As I said, anything works. The system blocks and you can't make anything. The biggest problem is that ADB isn't working neither, so I can't debug the problems. I have tried a lot of things in the init.rc without success.
    So I claim your help, Android veterans!

    Here the steps for having Honeycomb on the Archos 101 (would be the same for other gen8 devices):

    1. Install UrukDroid 0.6
    2. Download http://megaupload.com/?d=UBC0FFZ1 and place it on /tmp
    3. Booting into stock Android, mount SD and run these commands (replace /dev/sdc2 and /feb/sdc3 with the second and third partition of your SD card):
      • # cd /tmp
      • # mkdir sdcard
      • # mount /dev/sdc2 sdcard
      • # mkdir honeycomb
      • # cd honeycomb
      • # unzip ../honeycomb.zip
      • # cp -rf sdkramdisk/* ../sdcard
      • # cp -rf sdksystem/* ../sdcard/system
      • # umount ../sdcard
      • # cd ..
      • # mount /dec/sdc3 sdcard
      • # rm -rf sdcard/*/*
      • # umount sdcard
    4. Reboot and boot the Developer Edition
    5. Wait some time and... you'll get the unlock screen of Honeycomb!

    I am a novice in Android ROMs so help is welcomed.

    Thanks to deeper-blue (XDA) and @dm8tbr (OpenAOS) for helping me and $auron for UrukDroid


    EDIT: Google will not release Honeycomb source code until Ice Cream release at the end of the year. That isn't good :-(

    Are you running stock kernel with it or one or custom? I watched some of the nook videos and it looks like they were just using some custom kernels but nothing specific.

    I am running the stock UrukDroid kernel.
    I cannot shown more screens because the system crashes and I think the touchscreen is not working. But you can test it, simply see the instructions and you'll get a beautiful locked Honeycomb :p Only works the lockscreen clock and the shutdown dialog that don't require touchscreen.
    If we get ADB working all the porting will be easier.

    but I can tell you, it's horrible slow, even on a brand new computer.
