Will there ever be a CM9 port for the Le Pan 1 ??

A reply I just sent, via PM response, thought other people would like to know :

----------------------------------------------------------

hello yann, please tell me will there cm9 full version? or is there any android app which will change lepan 1 to ICS? please tell me....

I don't know - we need the kernel source code, to be able to make a CM9 or ICS version.

Le Pan doesn't want to release it. The best chance is if Jerry Stake at XDA Developers manages to complete his current project. He's building a kernel from scratch.

Will announce any new on the forum if available.

Keep your fingers crossed.

The image at the top of this post is of an Amazon Kindle Fire running a Beta of CM9.

The Barnes and Noble Nook Color, which has very similar specs to the LP1 is already in Beta for a CM9 release as well.

^--- so we even have a bit of an advantage on the processor speed (1 GHz for LP1, 800 MHz Nook)

And here's a video of the Kindle Fire running CM9 Beta :

I can confirm CM9 runs fine on the Nook Color. Been running it for months now. The nightlies were frozen to evaluate for release and there are a few bugs, including some hard freezing now and then requiring a reboot to clear, that are being squashed but it seems to be 90% complete.

Ah, that's great - thanks J515OP.

Our CM7 port was start up with the code base for the Nook, I believe, so if qwe manage to get a kernel for he LP1 developed, we might be able to use the Nook's CM9 code as a start as well.

Jerry Stake at XDA has been working hard on an independent kernel, he's taking it as a challenge to do it without the manufacturer's support at all. Hope it goes well, he's got it booting, up to the SD card mount stage.
