I checked ZTE's site and did not see anything, I am aware that you said it will be there tonight

I was just wondering how you know, has ZTE replied to one of your emails or something

This should be interesting to see, if its really being dropped

I hope it is more workable than their source code.

i wouldn't hold your breath on an update working any more then the original source

EDIT: lol they probably took Hroark's source and zipped it then called it there own.

Haha wouldnt surprise me in the least

This is what happened when I released CyanogenMod for the Prevail (Gingerbred)

A week later Samsung put out an update for their first GB rom for that phone, but I was the first to release GB for the Prevail, and ICS


My guess is that someone at ZTE has seen what we did, and did not like it, so they decided to do this to make our work on the kernel source pointless.


Would they have released this if it was not for our recent efforts ?

I do not know to be honest.


Will their source work better than ours or even work at all ?

I do not know

It does not matter either way, the working code that we do have, in all honesty is really ZTE's to begin with, I did not write it, they did, I just modified it to work.

I hope that this new code does work (without having to fix it)

I hope that it does work better than what we already have




.

do you have something in there that would give it away if it was a copy?

we should start a vote on if it will work or not

My guess would be it's a copy of your recent work, or if it's not, it won't work.

It is not a copy, they would not need to do that.

The new source is almost identical to the Blade Plus source, which is what I used for our 2.6.35.7 that we have now

If you do a compare of this new source with our 2.6.35.7, there is not that many different files

This does not include all the .svn folders that I have deleted, which are not used anyway

Has anyone checked to see if it builds correctly yet?

well, it builds... no idea if the kernel works tho, since Boost don't like the look of me and pretend to be out of stock everytime I go near a store

Good chance they updated the source to prepare for a rom update

Or to piss off hroark and make his hard work pointless.

I don't think it could make his work pointless, I'm sure he learned alot from it and will be able to bring more to the table in the future and show ZTE how great their sh*t coulda been from the factory.

Does this mean a going to have CM7 or CM9 really soon?
MIUI will be nice too...

This is not a new kernel... it is just the source code of the stock kernel...
