Drew Garen agree to start developing Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP for our lovely Flyer. We have to raise enough fund to let him get a 3g Flyer.

If you want to donate, he would appreciate extra $$


Or you can go directly to www.drewgaren.com

Could you link your source ? This is an interesting price.

Since I'm new I'm not yet allowed to post outside links... I don't know what J3ff was referring to, but in Holland the 32GB Wifi+3G version can be bought new for €200,- now here (without a contract):
shop dot www dot hi dot nl slash hi slash RAPRD slash HTC-Flyer slash QHTFLYsi dot html.

In America there is this:
www dot cowboom dot com slash product slash 980844 but that one is used.

I suppose these are not the only nice deals

Donations and ICS work

YHey guys DrewGaren here. I was recently approached about AOSP ICS on the HTC Flyer. I had to check into it because I don't have this device yet and I wanted to see what the current development for it was. I found there really has not been much done yet. I already have the vendor files and some neccesary device files for building and will start making modifications needed and try compiling without a device until I get enough donations to buy the device.

Donation Target: $499.99 (unless you can find me a cheaper off contract 3G/4G/WI-FI model)

Current Donations To Date: $75.03

I will start putting up a progress page on website drewgaren.com and you can view and keep up to date there or follow me on twitter @drewgaren for my updates and feed.

Nice that you are willing to start developing it!

Please have a look at the links I sent, there are cheaper options than $499 for sure.

By the way, I thought Chaosz-X and others already started working here? Isn't calling that "really not much" a bit strong?

Honestly I'd donate if I knew it would benefit the View. I'd like to support my Flyer brethren, but I own a View.

    Hey guys I'm headed home today so I'll be able to get more work done on ics and a new kernel. Sorry I can't reply back for some reason I can't view previous pages on the xda app and using the browser is a pain.

    I have made a ton of progress though. I have a compiled version of ics up and running with honeycomb soff there is no need to send a command for the touch screen to work like chaosx's original kernel build. I have no force reboots. The most important issue that I currently face is getting the screen working properly. This seems to be because the graphics aren't updated for ics but I'm working on a work arounds currently that will better fix the problem. I am also working on a wifi fix. Sound and data, back camera seem to work fine and pretty much everything else. The front camera does not work though I have not tested it with the full ics lib files necessary. I will try. I have the most up to date kernel from HTC and will be building a new kernel from that to see if it helps in anyway with graphics and wifi. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get you guys a full proper build. I had it running on my flyer but it needs to be perfect and a few more pieces need to fit into the puzzle to get it there. I know I have been lacking on my github but when I'm done I'll get everything for you guys so you can build as well.

    About a sense version: a sense version will very well come out when I get prop files.

    Download eta: these builds can't be rushed I want to say sooner then later. I will have the builds at my site so pay attention there. The reason I haven't released any yet is that I will not be held responsible for what errors you make while installing it or what's happens to your flyer. I will get a test build up shortly that will not be the final product.

    Update and Upcoming Beta Test Download

    No I'm not continiuing Chaos's work except working off of their Kernel. For my first beta that I will be uploading soon I compiled base on Ice Cold Sandwich 7.4 and my own device modifications, build, patch and compiling modifications, kernel modifications and other neccessary modifications.

    I am also currently building a new kernel based off of LordClockan's kernel which is in testing and I am also testing another kernel that I am working on based on Leedroid's kernel.

    The current beta that I will be releasing on my site in the next few days will not be the final build, but is a just a proof of concept that I am making a huge progress. I am currently working on a CM9 build and AOSP build that I should have done within the next week.

    What works in the current beta:
    Data
    Camera
    Video Recorder
    Audio
    Storage
    NTrig Pen (Though there is not really a use for it)
    most other things...

    What doesn't work:
    Graphic errors (screen may at times look like it's having a siezure)
    Wifi (does not work yet, kernel error, needs fixing...)
    Front Camera (haven't put the files in yet)

    It will be coming soon. I worked my whole vacation to get a pretty good version ready. This will not be a daily driver by any means but with my new kernels in testing and my new builds in progress it should turn out great.

    Also I appreciate any donations as I don't really have a job right now and I have to pay the bills some how.

    You guys are great, check my site soon for a download.

    Screens are attached.

    Updates!

    Just got my Flyer from UPS! I opened it up and was sad to see that has 0% charge so I'm charging it up right now so I can begin some hardcore work tonight.

    So far I have made progress, I have fixed many compiling issues and everything should boot up fine. I will be compiling build today and then testing out the Flyer for bugs later tonight if all goes well.

    Wish me luck. I'll report everything later on my website as well.

    Any downloads I have that are ready will be posted eventually on my site and all progress will be updated on the site later tonight or tomorrow.

    I won't have any downloads up until I have at least a partially working build up. I have not tested anything yet.

    I am not new to XDA i just normally do not post any thing in the threads. I am posting in the threads now because of my work for the Flyer. I don't post because of the fact I have to keep checking up on the threads and it takes a lot of work. I will be checking up on the Flyer thread though.

    Yes when I received my Flyer I semi bricked by attempting to install someone elses rom and test some features. Didn't work. So no I have S-OFF Honeycomb on just fine and dandy working great.

    Lets talk ICS progress:

    I have a beta up and running, I'm going to be testing it because I just got it running last night. I will put it my site if all goes well.

    In the mean time I working on another build. Screen shots will also be post at my site later.
