ICS is coming to AOSP

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in.
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

YES! :)

Faster than I thought :)

Congrats on the team @ Google 

[fonix232]

JBQ, would it be possible to access some bits of Honeycomb?
I would be interested about the Movie Maker app, and the Launcher itself, as they seem to be removed or changed for the worse in ICS (I like the Honeycomb style tablet launcher more)

[Anthony Domanico]

Well, technically no, on account of twitter giving off the "fail whale" at the moment. but soon!

[John McKenzie]

Congrats guys, this should make a huge difference out there! Can't wait t see what happens next now that it's "out there"

There's clearly been a formatting accident with my email, sorry about that.

The instructions are at http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

Just one quick question JBQ,

will the kernel trees come with a master tag? Right now the log and the tree aren't available via gitweb because of this :/

Thanks

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

I've got a number of tasks on my plate related to the kernel trees,
and that's one of them.

JBQ

[Samuel B. Quiring]

I get:

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b
android-4.0.1_r1
... a lot of tags info up to android 2.3.7_r1
error: revision android-4.0.1_r1 in manifests not found

error: revision android-4.0.1_r1 in manifests not found

Same problem here

[Dominic Binks]

Yep, same here - is this just because platform/manifest is the last
project to be updated, or something else?

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

That's why I asked people to wait a bit: the push is still going on.
I'll let you know when everything is in place.

Read the whole starting post by Mr. Queru, it asks:

However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.

What means, in a few words:

Wait till I say download!

So don't be surprised it won't work yet...

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

The push process:

-push to master, update the master manifest.
-push to the development branch, create the matching manifest.
-push to the release branch, tag it, create the machine manifest.

I'm still in the first phase, which is the longest one.

Sorry - I though you said to wait to sync.

Have the requirements for Ice cream sandwich been posted anywhere? I'd be curious to see what hardware would be capable of running it.

[Conley Owens]

Please see the following for hardware suggestions:

So whats the final computer requirements to compiling this? Interested to find out :D

wohoooo google :D

[trickybit]

That thread is about build hardware; is there info on device hardware
requirements?

Nice milestone, JBQ and A Team.

[Mark Weulink]

i think he means what hardware it can run on (hardware requirements for phones/tablets).

[József Király]

That was mentioned before, vaguely:
"Everything capable of running Gingerbread will be capable to run ICS" or something similar, but meaning was the same.

[cybik]

simply put, you need to be able to run Crysis in software emulation mode to compile ICS in a short time.

[Mark Weulink]

hmm, so the HTC G1 will even be able to run it, but it will be slow ;)

[Teguh Sobirin]

Great..
Thank you Mr. JBQ for the info..

Waiting for the sync process completed :)

[PRO]

I guess I'm already disqualified for compiling the ICS from source which is a really bummer. I wanted to have fun but I guess i will be sad lol. Have fun guys..

p.s If anyone here needs help or compiling ICS for Galaxy s II T-mobile or any other SGS II variants let me know because thats the device I was attempting to compile ICS for :D

The hardware suggestions are just suggestions. You may be able to
build ICS with the hardware you have, it just might take a while.

This is great, thanks for the push,

Many of us was concerned about the direction Android was going in,
especially with speculation on major news sites that Android had gone
closed source, I guess this proves all the hearsay to be complete
nonsense.

Could you confirm if tags and branches will be created for Honeycomb,
as others have said it would make great to review release code at the
time it was released rather than scroll back through git logs.

Regards

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

I do not intend to globally tag Honeycomb releases, but I will
consider tagging 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 in frameworks/base so that
application developers can match the code that's running on devices.

Mr. JBQ, i can still using --mirror argument to make local mirror? And just wondering, how big the ICS source?

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

Yes, you can still do that, but I haven't updated that manifest yet.

The ICS history is about 6GB overall (though the current version is a
little bit smaller as it only supports Galaxy Nexus). A mirror would
probably be a bit larger than that.
