23/Sep: Kernel Source

[Guest rjm2k]

Good news! I've not had chance to compile it but the defconfig for the P729B is in there, so fingers crossed they've managed to release the correct code this time.

Afaik 29 will work for froyo but with some limitations, however if there is someone clever enough with enough time the changes made to the 29 blade source can be re-applied to a stock froyo kernel. Also, I would hope that given that the 880 will presumably be released in China soon, we can apply similar pressure to get the froyo kernel source too (eventually), they may just release it like they should anyway.

Exciting times again :)

[Guest Paul]

Hurrah! :)

Hurrah! :)

Should this be a sticky once again?

[Guest Freekers]

Should this be a sticky once again?

I also suggest adding the download mirrors to the first post, as the download servers of ZTE are extremely slow

[Guest jsplace]

Anyone compiled this yet?

I would but don't have a .config from the phone.... :)

Hope its what you want.

So far closest thing to ZTE sources appears to be branch android-msm-2.6.29b commit 2ecfffea35f58220f2e899984f1977bb385cc779 from Code Aurora Forum: https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?...msm.git;a=heads

Short patch between this commit and ZTE's eclair source:

Has anyone managed to build a working rom from this source?

patientience is a virtue my friend

[Guest ddotpatel]

Another MASSIVE thank you to everyone who turned up the pressure on ZTE, no doubt if it wasn't for you guys they would still have their dodgy code up.

Good work everyone. ..... Another reason to ditch my HERO!

[Guest southeastblue]

Yeah I would give it a couple days or so before seeing something, unless somebody is working on it ASAP as we speak... :)

[Guest cobhc]

Great news, shame it's not Froyo, as the Alpha is sooooo much quicker, but at least we can look towards overclocking and custom kernels now :)

Did you mean a rom? Instead of a om?

Not taking the pee, just making sure om wasn't something I was missing lol.

Any chances for overclocking?

Compiled fine and booted it, power button not working, battery status not avaliable.... f*ck you ZTE!

[Guest ddotpatel]

So has everyone been shafted then?.... Is it still an incomplete source?.....

[Guest hero protagonist]

Compiled fine and booted it, power button not working, battery status not avaliable.... f*ck you ZTE!

did you notice that there are:

board_zte_blade_.c.bak ( 74.38K )

board_zte_blade.c ( 68.17K )

in kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/ ?

I haven't run a diff yet, but probably renaming board_zte_blade_.c.bak to board_zte_blade_.c and compiling again will yield better results

[Guest TheDOC1]

Could you lead me to a small howto on how to compile a kernel with ubuntu (which crosscompiler etc.) and try it out afterwards?

but it runs other than that? if so, at least it's a lot closer than before

I just ran a diff on these, and the .bak file only adds comments sadly..

[Guest MDCFan]

It appears that there is two ways to calculate battery capacity, but one is commented out (with #if 0) here:

http://github.com/zadintuvas/blade-eclair/...ard-zte-blade.c

Maybe somebody could try that? I still haven't got my phone.
