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
