Good Idea,

everyone who reads this thread ask for source (fill form) on this link:

Create Inquiry Samsung Open Source Release Center

Maybe we can make them publish...

sorry to disappoint but "as soon as possible" could mean anything, and I see no need for spamming them... you want them to be ensured that they should ignore you and just make auto response for galaxy questions? again? This time I believe that they'll release them, but it needs some time for such a big company to do anything.

you have right, but from his polite and prompt answer I think we wouldnt have doubt in his statement.

stephnd · Apr 22, 2010

so now that the sources have been released will GAOSP be able to fix the 2.1 ROM and have a fully functional 2.1 for Galaxy ?

MichaelW · Apr 22, 2010

Hopefully.

Deleted User · Apr 22, 2010

sorry about the ignorance, but except of the fact that it would help to make the 2.1 OS, what else does it helps us ???

sado1 · Apr 22, 2010

Also 1.6 Galaxo can be made better - options known from Galaxo 1.5 like compcache, tethering etc. can be included now.

FadeFx · Apr 22, 2010

actually galaxo 1.6.3 is shedulled for next week... ;-)

Digging into the kernel sources and it seems that Samsung is as irrational as ever. Still haven't figured out what tree they are basing off of, but I have noticed that several directory trees that are available within various android kernel trees (eg, sound/soc/msm) have been copied in from elsewhere, I'm sure where since they don't match up with anything I've found.

Its easy to tell which ones have been copied in from elsewhere because they appear to have spent some time in a vfat filesystem (executable permissions are set).

Russ Dill · Apr 22, 2010

I found an interesting diff in kernel/power/wakelock.c that I haven't seen in any other trees.

[...]
if (type == WAKE_LOCK_SUSPEND) {
- current_event_num++;
+ if (lock == &main_wake_lock)
+ current_event_num++;
#ifdef CONFIG_WAKELOCK_STAT
[...]

Attempt at fixing the no sleep bug? Cause of the no sleep bug? Completely unrelated?
