Android 2.3 source code being pushed to master branch

One day after the launch of the Nexus S, the source code for the device’s operating system — Android 2.3 — is being pushed to the Android Open Source Project’s (AOSP) master branch. In a blog post, AOSP engineer Jean-Baptiste M. Queru noted that he was in the throws of getting the code in place. Mr. Queru does however offer this warning:

Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there  are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use  Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B (where B means “brick”); I have two of those, they’re not very useful. I’ll send some guidelines about what is currently possible once I’ve finished pushing the source code.

If you’re interested in getting your hands on the new bits, hit the read link and go nuts.

        No, you’re uneducated because you cannot complete a sentence without, 1.) cuz or 2.) a plethora of undercomposed words. Maybe you should have added an English class to that degree of yours.

      So true. Only DROID DOES and those iFags will never know how good fragmen….errr rooting is.

        And the ability to get a totally new phone every 2-4 weeks. Every month, sometimes twice a month, it’s christmas in the goofan (aka apple hater) universe. the apple fanboys are lucky if they have once a year celebration. This year they couldn’t celebrate because they got a phone that doesn’t make calls. Hahah! We have phones that can work hundreds, no thousands of feet under ground with a full signal…

    It’s been a great week for Android fans hasn’t it?

      Yeah, you finally got a product actually delivered to you that isn’t beta. Congrats!

      GalaxyTab,

      Every week is a great week for DROID. DROID DOES great weeks and it’s the NORM. Apple constantly has bad weeks, which makes my wee wee hard!

      • Goofan (aka Apple Hater)

        Tell you what else makes my wee wee hard!

    • Goofan (aka Apple Hater)

      And a terrible week for Apple!

    Jean-Baptiste is not in the throws, he is in the throes.

    Carry on.
