Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) well if you look at when i started on it i think it took a few weeks start to finish, now need to work out what the format of the boot img on sf is - any ideas anyone and plain vanilla at min Edited October 19, 2010 by Stephen Hyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great if you want to build for Mooncake, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, when I searched for these, I turned up nothing. Other than someone doing a teardown, we're pretty short on exact details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 lol its not zte but its still .29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aquilo Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 lol its not zte but its still .29 Then I fear you're going to have trouble before the ZTE kernel is released. There wasn't that much special in their kernel, it's just these platform-specific files that are key to the whole shabang. I suppose at a push you could try using the Desire's display config, and try cutting down the Legend's board file, but it's a bit risky, and with ZTE supposedly working on the re-release, it might not be worth the hassle.

Guest hecatae Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 still no kernel source yet, I suggest everyone visits the page linked above so they know people are checking for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orionthehunter Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Kernel ? I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but it does say Eclair Kernel.zip from the ZTE website (ZTE-BLADE open source code for Android Eclair). Sorry in advanced if I am completely wrong .

Guest MDCFan Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Maybe we should email FSF if nething comes out in a week? Edited October 24, 2010 by MDCFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spooke Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I think we should start emailing them again as its been a week since there's been any news, If someone who has already spoke to ZTE asks again if theres any ETA on the source?

Guest El Nino9 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hello All, everyone keeps trying to get the source code from zte, but i emailed orange instead. the only mistake i made is i put in a 2 part question, i got a reply from 1 so i think i wont get a reply for the kernel source. use http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/...g-us/payg-email to contact orange or if that fails http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/...tacting-us/payg even though this product is a zte under all this it has been branded by orange, so orange should have responsibility, considering they have also added their things in the build may have the source themselves. so like tmobile did for the pulse even though huawei built the device, well atleast the info can be found on tmobile's site. so i will email them tonight again to say under the GNU GPL agreement blah blah blah and ask for the source once again i suggest other people do this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsplace Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Many of us have already approached Orange via email to receive the response that they have no information regarding the Kernel source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kallt_kaffe Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Seriously... What's taking them so long. The only thing that stops me from buying this phone is the absence of a working kernel source. No source = No fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimmy2x2x Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Keep up the pressure, keep asking them about it use multiple names/email accounts if you have them handy! I enquired via [email protected] They respond with a stock set of questions, complete that, then they respond again with a noticed that they will contact the relevant department. I am awaiting further communication at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MDCFan Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Many of us have already approached Orange via email to receive the response that they have no information regarding the Kernel source. Maybe they don't know that they are violating copyright laws just like ZTE. GPL clearly states that if you are distributing code, then you must provide sources. Orange distributes code by selling phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with gpl is there are far fewer organizations to enforce Than There are willing to break. They get a free ride and don't live up to their obligations. With zte at least they made a pathetic shallow attempt to release code, there are other companies who Would claim the code on their hardware. Is trade secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
