A few days ago samsung started rolling out ICS for the galaxys s II.
But where are the kernel sources?
It looks like that samsung is actually performing very bad if it comes to android.
- canceled rollout for 2.3.6 because of bugs
- non existent user experience on their ics roms (they really killed ics fully with touchwiz)
- only one device received a ics update yet, the other 1000000 are still waiting (that’s what happens if you flood the market with 100000 different variants)
- slow at releasing sources
- zero community support
- late on quadcore phone
Normally HTC is slow at releasing stuff, but hey hey… look what we got here:
HTC Sensation (HTC Europe) – ICS CRC – 3.0.16 kernel source code
HTC Sensation XE (HTC Europe) – ICS CRC – 3.0.16 kernel source code
HTC Vivid (Telstra WWE) – ICS CRC – 3.0.16 kernel source code

And finally some nice to read news:

Reminder
Sign our petition to make samsung support the community:
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-mobile-help-third-party-development-achieve-full-potential-of-purchased-devices#share
Hopeffully enough people have signed the petition for the sources… I would like to think it might help… But as mentioned before, my next device will be a Google controlled one (will not mind if they partner with Samsung again though I foresee Motorola instead
The link is not working Codeworkx!
But I totally agree with you, HTC is doing a much better job to support the community.
Legally, Samsung is forced to release the kernel sources. We might start flooding them with emails about this.
I’ll never buy another Samsung device! even Nexus one!
I think someone should hack into Samsung and release the code, Anonymous anyone?
Well that was expected
Aber es ist doch keine Garantie, das wir die Sourcen bekommen, selbst wenn wir 15k Unterzeichnungen schaffen? Ich meine, selbst 10k sollten genug sein um den Affen von Samsung zu zeigen, das die Leute lieber eure Version haben wollen, anstatt die TW-Samsung-Rotze. ^^
Hatte die LPQ drauf und muss sagen, das ich mehr als enttäuscht war…sowas Final zu nennen….da laufen eure Alpha´s ja um längen besser.
kp, welche Leute die da sitzen haben, vllt. solltet ihr für Samsung coden?! 
Just my 2 cents.
kernel sources müssen sie rausgeben, für den rest ist die petition da.
Ja, natürlich, das ist mir bewusst, das sie die Sourcen freigeben müssen! Aber die Frage ist ja, ob sie diese Freigeben müssen, wenn die Petition bei 10k oder 15k ist. Das liegt ja nicht in deinem oder unserem ermessen, sondern in dem von Samsung.
Wie dem auch sei, die machen da rum als ob es ein Staatsgeheimnis ist…und das alles “nur” wg. Closed Source. -.-”
Aber irgendwie paradox, ich meine mich erinnern zu können, das ihr von Samsung ein SGSII geschenkt bekommen habt, um CM entwickeln zu können. Daher verstehe ich nicht, wieso sie euch so hängen lassen…
That´s marketing scheinbar..
Aber dennoch, danke euch, das ihr den Kopf nie in den Sand gesteckt habt.
Please correct your link to Petition.
thanks, done.
whinge whinge whinge thats all you ever do Danny boy
And what have you done so far?
Waited patiently… patience is a virtue.
Do we have an email-address from samsung to send complains to?

You rock, Daniel, and your timing is impeccable.
Keep up the great work!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe Samsung just released the kernel source code.
Confirmed: https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9100
Has Samsung released all needed parts today?
What about this:

Looks like they’ve finally done it. Looking forward to new CM9 build with new kernel
And here are your kernel sources

Yay!

not sure if this is proper source code or not, but:

Daniel it looks like they listened to you, partially at least, and released the kernet sources for SGS2:).
I have one question – not about hacking the sources because it’s obvious for me that you need time to analyze it, buy about the development process in general: when we can expect the first CM compilation with the kernel compiled from the sources? Will it be the next nightly?
Hey codeworkx,
hab hier was gelesen über den Download der Kernel-Sources für ICS
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/03/19/samsung-pushes-the-galaxy-s-ii-ice-cream-sandwich-kernel-source-code-to-the-open-source-release-center/

Hey codeworkx… a question about the cm9 build. I have noticed that in the browser there is a lag when scrolling down a page. Like you put your finger on the screen move it down and the page has a half second delay before following? Is this known about or anything. Thanks!
Dann kann die party ja beginnen =)
Freue mich schon auf die nächste “große” CM9 nightly mit funktionierender video aufnahme funktion!
Danke für die gute arbeit, codeworx!
So wie es aussieht wird es so schnell kein Video-Recording geben.
Warum? Ganz einfach, weils immer noch closed Source ist. :/
Aber ich hoffe, das bald flash geht…wäre echt genial…
xhamster.com wartet auf mich….”fap fap fap”
Flash und Chrome?
Wird nicht passieren.
Schlechte Neuigkeiten an einem so schönen Tag. :/
Sag mal, hab gelesen, das de iwas von Mali @Twitter geposted hast…
Würdest du das mal genauer erläutern? Der post ist “ohhh mali, i love you…. NOT”
Klar. Sources nicht kompilierbar auf nem echten Männersystem wie Arch.
Mali Fix:

Und Samsung hat den Dreck kopiert:

Codeworkx – thanks for the work you do for ours SGS 2. I’m observing the nightly changelog for SGS2 with interest everyday and I think in a month or so I’ll switch to CM9 after you would have spent some time playing with the kernet sources & optimizing.
Hi, when a CM9 build with Samsung sources will be available? Is it the last nightly (20-03-2012)?
Checking the CM9 change log helps
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2
kernel: built from official sources
is listed for update-cm-9-20120319-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip
ICS Kernel source has been released – https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9100
No offense dude, but you are SOOOOOOO late!!! There are already nightly builds with the kernel sources…
Reading the last previous posts helps sometimes.
Enjoy the builds.
With the sources out, is there anything not fully functional with cm9?
And what makes a rom a stable?
