[VILLAformer]

Después de llegar tiempo los desarrollares de xda pidiendo a samsung qué libere el código. Parece qué samsung ha cedido.

Con esto nuestros moviles ganan un par de años de buena vida... Las actualizaciones llegaran 100% funcionales (o casi) por medios no oficiales casi seguro... Gran noticia.

This Samsung creates a big boost in their community, and very welcome news to all those developers out there which are desperately waiting for this all this will finished before 2013.

y eso se traduce en... demasiado tiempo de espera...???

No es oro todo lo que reluce y esto tiene trampa (o puede tenerla).

Pueden poner parte del codigo pero desfasado (creo que ya ahi algo que soltaron pero se quedo en gingerbread o solo lleva una parte del hwcomposer de ICS).

El RIL seguira fallando al igual que el chip yamaha de sonido, la radioFM o HDMI.

@zaldi00 encontró esto supongo que en XDA:

Everyone calm down.
This is not done yet.

Yes, Samsung will release Exynos source code. "Hurraay!!!" ??? No!

What they mean by releasing Exynos source code, is that they will release source code for hardware modules for Exynos development boards. We had this for months on insignal website (which is down since a few weeks/months, but used to be up), which contains outdated source code for Exynos boards. We had some bits of Ice Cream Sandwich code back in March or April iirc, that helped Galaxy S II hwcomposer, but that's it. Most of the things were stuck at Gingerbread version, and they don't contain any device-related code.

What does this mean ? For instance, Galaxy S III camera will stay closed, because it is NOT part of Exynos development boards. Galaxy S II audio is still Yamaha proprietary crap, and we will NOT get source code. RIL interface will also remain closed, so all exynos phones will keep on having broken/semi-functional GSM connection (broken Sim Toolkit, unstable data connection, unstable roaming). TV Out will still remain undocumented, and Android interface won't be opensourced (as it is part of TouchWiz on official ROMs). Same applies for FM Radio.

Moreover, Insignal code drops were delayed as hell. As of today, we still haven't got anything from official Samsung Jelly Bean, beside kernel source code because they legally have to. As I said, most of the things on Insignal were old, hwcomposer sources for example weren't working on Galaxy S III (exynos4412), and so on.

Now, I could be wrong and MAYBE they will make this A BIT better (faster code drops), but I'm NOT putting my hopes up on things like Sensors HAL source code, Audio source code, RIL interface documentation, or Camera HAL source code. IMO they just spoke like this to calm down community flood, and make everyone happy and make Samsung look like they're the new holy grail of developers. I'm not trusting this until I actually SEE those improvements.

So, users, be careful, and we'll see how it's going to get.
