How can I have a full open source build running on a samsung galaxy or galaxy S?
I have seen the gaosp project, but I’m confused about what to use now that Samsung itself has open sourced parts of the code.
You can find the kernel source here: http://opensource.samsung.com/ (under mobile phones).
There is no source for the TouchWiz framework and, more importantly, several drivers are proprietary and you will need licensing agreements that are not easy to get, so you will have to end up with a mix of open closed sources. Unfortunately, there is no other option.
Edit: cyanogenmod (you already mentioned it) is the closest you will get. The question is: what are you looking for in the source code?
2nd Edit:
Thread about FM radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837691
Broadcom driver source code: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/wlan/broadcom.git;a=commit;h=f427424c414886903e4ad654c143c8ce6ec10e3c
Then, jsut follow the instructions for compiling the kernel and install it on top of any of the custom ROMs you find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665
You don’t want an opensource framework and custom apps then, don’t try to compile everything from source, but only the kernel.
