Android 4.1 in AOSP(groups.google.com) |
We were thinking it might be in the QuickSearchBox ( https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Quic... ) but there don't seem to be any recent commits here. I'm thinking now it might be in some place specific for the Nexus, but I'm not familiar enough with the Android source to know where to look.

edit: I imagine that people interested in hacking on Android have better machines, so it's not a problem. I was pointing out that you can't just buy 16gb to meet the requirements on all machines.
While the original poster was being somewhat disingenuous, let's be honest here, Android isn't a completely open platform. To obtain full functionality from Android devices requires more than what Google distributes source code for.
I say this as a somewhat angry and disappointed Android developer :-(
The entirety of the OS is there for anyone who wants to hack together the functionality that you're "missing" but the OS is complete and open so far as I can see.
Put simply, I'm just trying to point out the sad state of affairs.
Android is primarily run on Phones, but you can't actually use some of them as a Phone if you build AOSP and install it because some of the binaries required for the phone functionality can't be distributed.
That's my point. It's misleading to say "here's an open phone OS" -- when you can't actually use it on your phone, because the things that make your phone work as one aren't open and can't be redistributed.
An open platform doesn't do much good if you can't actually use it on hardware with full functionality.
As I said before, I'm just a disappointed and somewhat angry Android developer, somewhat. Google could have done a better job here and made life easier for me and other developers.
