I had modified my build.prop with the GPS fixes, so I couldn't flash the ZV6update. I took the build.prop from the stock ZV5 kwknott posted, and it made it through the verification fine. Thanks knknott!

There could be a new firmware package for the SPH-L300_VMU soon (hoping the new OSS kernel is an indicator). I didn't pay close attention to the original update to my Victory, was wondering if the update package is accessible after download but before installation? Is the download package...
There is a new kernel version available via Open Source Samsung website, MG5. I'm downloading now to do a diff against the MC1 release and hopefully see what's changed.

I just added the FastCharge option to my kernel for the Victory. I've read a lot of conflicting information about it. Some claim it can damage the USB port used on the PC (or maybe the phone), others say it can only cause issues with pre USB2.0 ports.

Here is a zip file I got from xInterloperx that I modified for use with the Virgin Mobile Victory. It is designed to backup your modem into a flashable zip file, and then install the stock modem (ripped from my phone).

I just started building a kernel for the SPH-L300 from Samsung's JB-MC1 source. This is my first time building a kernel, in my other projects I left kernel development to other team members and concentrate on device folders and UI imrpovements, never had the issue I'm dealing with now.

I'm currently telling my users to use ReKey from the market to patch the MasterKey vulnerability. I'm looking for a way to patch it in my current ROM for the Galaxy Victory, but I'm building with the Kitchens right now, not from source (haven't got device files configured properly to build from...
You've probably heard about the Master Key vulnerability found recently in almost all versions of Android. If not, basically there is a flaw in the signing methods used to ensure an application has not been modified by third parties. This vulnerability allows a malicious app to elevate it's...
