After Myce discovered in the Chromium issue tracker a fish-based codename (Flounder) for a Google device running an early-May Android version, speculating that Flounder may be the Nexus 8/9 tablet tipped to be made by HTC, xda-developers has dug deeper and found more evidence that HTC is the maker of Flounder. Additionally, what could also be a Nexus device codenamed “Molly” has also been spotted.

 

Digging through the Android 4.4.3 KitKat MR2 changelist, the publication found lines of code that associate Flounder to HTC, as seen below:

 

project device/htc/flounder/

f6f0fe7 flounder: fix KGDB port

d9a03bc flounder: take out conservative cpufreq governor a.o. extraneous stuff

091c1c1 flounder: add Power HAL

project device/htc/flounder-kernel/

6090a06 flounder: update kernel prebuilt

 

Interestingly, Molly was also spotted in the same KitKat MR2 build, although it’s not clear who will make the device – those lines of code follow below:

 

project device/google/molly/

60f0dd6 molly: keystore: add keystore hal

1dcb7b7 molly: correcting too wide permissions for certain devnodes

eadd23b molly: set permissions for nvhost-msenc
