Good news but my question is: how to do a porting from SDK?

SDK is useless for porting, WE NEED THE SOURCES

I wont try honeycomb on my tablet...

why do you want to port it if you don't want to try it?

alistassio · Feb 23, 2011

I want...sorry lol
But how can i try honeycomb without source code?

chrulri · Feb 23, 2011

download the sdk and run it in the emulator.

alistassio · Feb 23, 2011

How can i do this?

read this: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
but I can tell you, it's horrible slow, even on a brand new computer.

edit: we should stop hijacking this thread. if you have further questions, post them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965354

We must wait for the Honeycomb source code to port it. I think it will be released in few days, but I am not working at Google

The SDK is released, but the SDK isn't the source code.

Alexroc94 · Feb 26, 2011

Google said that they would release the source code at the same day the xoom is released.

In the portal was a link to a guide, it stated the folowing:

1. Dump your current working boot.img
2. Unpack it
3. Uncompress boot.img-ramdisk.gz
4. ADD the dnsproxy line in init.rc for netd daemon service
Code:

service netd /system/bin/netd
socket netd stream 0660 root system
socket dnsproxyd stream 0660 root inet <----

5. Recompress edited ramdisk
6. Create your new boot.img]

I haven't tried myself, but when you tried did you set step 4?

it's just a guess not sure if it solves anything or coming past lockscreen..

luisivan · Feb 26, 2011

I have tried running the full SDK. The result is the same: no ADB, no touchscreen...
The first thing we'll need when Google release the Honeycomb source code will be a kernel.
Rumors say Honeycomb uses 2.6.35...
-NRG- I have tried it without luck

EDIT: Honeycomb uses 2.6.36 kernel

VAHID_RIP · Feb 27, 2011

hey guys we are waiting for your rom. tanxx so much

luisivan · Feb 28, 2011

I am trying to get the touchscreen working. At now anything crashes, so I think that is the major problem now.

i mean a working port, lets say in 2-3 months

Well, there is always a chance... Like there is a chance that you could find a discarded lottery ticket outside of a convenience store and have it be the multi-million dollar winning ticket.

However, I *think* Archos would produce and sell a new Honeycomb tablet before they would update the Gen8 lineup. (personal opinion...I could be wrong)

Nexus one: video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8P-K0mCzSA

I think that those sites would help to port honeycomb to archos gen8 devices.

chrulri · Mar 4, 2011

it's not really "ported", it's just the emulator binaries. source code is still not release yet.

if you have time

I own an Archos 101 thats at Archos getting repaired. So i bought a nook color and loaded honeycomb. Deeper Blue is using the SDK to run a full blown rom. I will say it is functional enough to be a daily driver, some apps don't work (ie: angry birds), and one spot on the touch screen doesnt work.

My advice is get in touch with deeper blue here on xda.

luisivan · Mar 5, 2011

I talked with deeper-blue 3 weeks ago aprox. The problem that we have now is that the Archos 101 touchscreen is connected internally by USB, so isn't a normal display. The touchscreen acts as a mouse input. Any Android input expert near here?

mafcov · Mar 6, 2011

anybody an idea about the release date of the honeycomb source. afaik it's not in the repo yet. I(and xoom is already released ? )
