From the Moto X event live blog (engadget)...

1:41PM "If you're a third party developer who's built an app for Android, you can talk to it from the cloud." Talking up Froyo -- it's being open-sourced as of today.

Woot!

I think with the Verizon event being held today, we all are probably gonna be surprised. I don't know, but I think it is a little more than just for the unveiling of the Droid x

So I got a question though, is cyan finished with his rom from source yet?

Froyo rom explosion in 3......2.......1......

I guess those of us that flashed Froyo Kangerade V1.1 will be flashing yet again in a few days, once a ROM built from source is released.

I said this before, but I'll say it again. THANK GOD I'm a teacher with the summer off. Otherwise I wouldn't have the time to do all this tinkering. And I get to take care of "Droid business" while my wife is at work so I don't have to deal with the "quit playing with your phone" comments from her.

When you say 'finished', ummm...AFAICT, all of the CMs are built straight from source....Obviously I am too into the Isner Mahut match to really think about what you mean,

Froyo rom explosion in 3......2.......1......

Hopefully!

@John: He meant has Cyanogen already dl'd and built a new ROM from source since it's official as of today (he was making a joke). There haven't been any official 'from source' ROMS built as of yet - only modified leaked builds.

 

[johnlgalt]

Oh, no he has not - in fact, Cyanogen just posted this on twitter a while back:

What does "from the source" bring to the table that we don't already have? I ask because I have zero issues with the original BB Froyo and the speed is great. It just seems that I can do everything already. Not that I don't welcome new builds but at this point I want them to bring on Gingerbread.

Now that's funny stuff.

@istolvampire: It allows the devs to completely custom tailor the OS for a specific device, from the ground up. Theoretically, it also allows for more stable ROMS.

Bringing a ROM from source means you have complete control over how the software is compiled, for your specific hardware, as opposed to a generic / ported ROM from another device.

Same thought here, I'm on Nexbeast .1 at 800 mhz, smooth, fast, no fc's.

building from source also allows them to make a lot more changes that cant be done by hacking up a leaked build. The reboot option in cyanogenmod on 2.1 is a good example of something that could only be done when building from source

Cyanogen just tweeted this:

Nice! Can't wait...Hopefully we will start seeing some Pete tweets pretty soon

Pete doesnt build from source.....at least none of his roms to date have been as far as I know

 

[OMJ]

froyo source is also going to mean better kernels as well. Bekit is already working on new kernels

I thought he did for 2.1, but I could be wrong...Either way, we will be seeing some great roms coming soon

 

[Branndon]

But wouldn't this mean a more stable BB? A large number of people have had problems with his recent froyo roms.
