Guest rjm2k Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 As spotted by Spook Tooth here http://android.modaco.com/content-page/311...arrive/page/20/ the 2.1 kernel source for the pulse mini has been released by t-mobile uk, this might make it possible to build a custom 2.1 kernel for the original pulse, useful until the proper source gets released. It might even make the port to froyo easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmmL Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i can open it ok, try downloading again or a newer rar util Tried again with firefox and chromium. I'm going to guess it's a problem related to my testing of maverick meerkat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azurren Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 if pulse mini got 2.2 i would probably downgrade Well actually the pulse mini is better in every aspect apart from the screen size (Which if you have small thumbs really doesn't make a difference. The screen is not noticeable small unless you compare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen is not noticeable small unless you compare) it is resistive for mini, capacitive for pulse. with 2.1, big pulse's screen is not worse than iphone screen... and it is 2.8 inch for mini, 3.5 for pulse, that means the screen size is 50% bigger, it is relevant...

Guest gusthy Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Pulse screen doesnt compare to even an iPhone 2g really... Here is my wife's iphone 3g in my hand, and this pulse device. I tried them simultaneously (important, that pulse runs 2.1, with 1.5 it is ab other story). apart from multitouch there is no big difference.

A quick run of grep shows that the kernel code looks like it also includes the U8220 customisations. I haven't compiled it yet, but I will give it a try.

I haven't compiled it yet, but I will give it a try. maybe you are right that it contains pulse sources. I guess it because the pulse 2.1 config (config.gz on the phone) shows that all the drivers have been renamed from 8220_xx to huawei_xx, probably they unified them. it would be interesting to compile this kernel against the pulse config. edit: i mean /proc/config.gz Edited June 23, 2010 by gusthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) adb pull /proc/config.gz /pulse_config ;) 2.1_rmb2_config.gz - RMB2 config (.29) 2.1_tmo_config.gz - T-Mobile config (.29) Ok I might have done something wrong as the t-mobile config is .27 for some reason. fixed Both files are identical so it's clear that Huawei have used the same kernel config for the U8220 and the U8230 2.1 roms.

Well my phone will be flashed many times today as I'm working on my ROM so I don't mind putting t-mobile back on for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
