Is the S7 capable of running android 3.0?

[double]

News out of CES is that 3.0 requires dual core processor to work. Is this ballhooey i.e., will some dev port 3.0 on a single core device?

 

[pbrauer]

Hard to say, there is a ton of speculation about what is coming and what the final spec will be. I think dual core is definitely recommended, but don't think it will be an absolute request.

Let's get 2.2 or 2.3 1st

well i guess over at androidcentral.com someone from the android team has said via tweet that there are no minimum specs for 3.0. now heres the question. when will Huawei stop being quiet with us and tell us if they plan to go to 3.0. my guess is folks that they will be skipping 2.2 and 2.3.

My god...that would be amazing!

3.0 on the S7 would be everything I could possibly hope for!

Hello theprogram1! Check out the sticky http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ot-ideos-s7-full-tutorial-post-root-tips.html for detailed information on rooting the S7. Good luck!!

I don't think the TI OMAP CPU in the Nook Color is dual core, and they are having fun with Honeycomb already.

S7 is capable of running 3.0 for sure. There is port of Honeycomb for Dell Streak, which has the same CPU as S7, the other specs are similar as well.

hi there
i dont really think the cpu is the problem but the gpu (video) that can be slow
first we need to get 2.2 and 2.3 up and running then think of 3 or huaway get it for us
and we need some devs working on it

Snapdragon has integrated GPU, Adreno 200, which means Dell Streak has the same one.

I don't see why, can you explain your logic? There is no need for 2.2 or 2.3 to be installed to run 3.0, why would you need them?
The only problem I see here is that there is no man to port Huawei changes to a new kernel, a new kernel is required to run new versions of Android.
3.0 probably needs a slightly newer version of the kernel, but I don't see why that man wouldn't be able to port Huawei modifications to a newer version (let's say 2.6.36) just as easily as to an older one (2.6.32).
It's a pity that there are no kernel developers to help us.

You're reading into that last comment too literally, obviously you don't need to have 2.2 or 2.3 installed to get to 3.0. What the poster meant was that Huawei has promised us an Android 2.2/2.3 update sometime in March so lets get that promised update first before we start bothering the them for a port to 3.0. As far as a custom 3rd party kernel - well that's a different matter altogether. Check out the development subforum for what's been going on in that vein.

Ah, I see. Actually I don't expect Huawei to port 3.0 at all, at least not for S7.
