Root [DEV] Kernel Source for board msm7627 is released

[varun.chitre15]

Hello, many of you are surprised by seeing this but yes it has happened. In last few days(months actually) I was roaming around codeaurora and recently they have opened out kernel sources of msm7627 (froyo branch).
This is indeed a surprise to see a light of hope again to rewake the development for this device

Now for developers:
I am going to sync up these sources on XDA build server[a building server dedicated for compiling kernels and ROMs from sources only for Recognized Developers over at XDA] and will do a quick compile using Linaro or GCC 4.5 toolchain
I will try to keep this thread as up to date as I can.
We may or may not succeed at single hit as the sources should be configured to match up till where Micromax had done or maybe not. Lets try.
And if anyone else wishes to help me, don't fear of bricking. A phone bricks only when we mess with bootloader. We don't have access to it. So its safe
Go for it.
The relevant information on building can be found on Qualcomm's website and sources for our device are here
https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/froyo
From the list M76XXTSNCJNLYA707909 is ours.

Btw there are even sources released for ICS branch for this board

Expectations are there from our genius boy Varun.. But at the same time you should thank him that he is doing it for all of us as his 12th board exams are almost here.. .. .. .. ..

 

[varun.chitre15]

Alright, I am done with syncing sources, setup device vendor tree too for CM7- the first Gingerbread ROM for A70
Now I need a tester who will test 2 builds everyday of about 80mb.
I cannot because my connection is superslow.
I will do the first compile tomorrow or day after tomorrow and will create a thread too
Pm me who wishes to test. Lets hope I make around the touchscreen problem

 

[tanj2011]

plz add that CRT animation for lock/unlock, I don't know if it comes in stock 2.3

lol..dude atleast let me build-->boot-->debug atleast

 

[viivek]

Varun, I have few questions.

1) Is it a gingerbread mod or a Rom?
2) If it is a gingerbread rom, then is it going to increase a70's battery life? As in froyo it's giving a very poor battery backup.

 

[tanj2011]

lol..dude atleast let me build-->boot-->debug atleast

I know I'm being a bit impatient..
