This is a good news for GAOSP:):):):):):):):):):)
 
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.
 
does that mean that 1.6 will be officially available in all countries soon through nps?
 
im downloading that and will also mirror the mirror lol
this is gold maybe they could fix the low sound issue aswell in galaxo in the meantime now drakaz has sources
EDIT:
wow its 500+ meg lol

hehe, how the f... did you guys find this? i checked opensource.samsungmobile.com for this and the i7500 updates end at Update3.zip... however, cant wait to see gaosp evolve...
 
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 ?
 
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 ???
 
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).
 
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?
