Root Motorola Camera/HDMI Petition

I signed one a while back, is this the same?

The other one for for Motorola to release Jelly Bean. This one is to just give us the source we can release what ever we choose, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie etc, etc. With this source code we can release what ever we want and also fix HDMI as it's also proprietary as well.

Hey g60,

Is the camera source code needed to get it working under ICS, or is this a general request for Motorola so the community can better support the phone? I'm just curious since there have been a lot of positive posts from you in regards to getting the camera running under CM9. I'm just wondering if you've hit a development wall, which requires the source code, or of this is to make every developer's life easier. Thank you for your work and for supporting our phone!

Dorregaray has been hands down simply amazing in assisting our Motorola Community with the Camera. With out his help we wouldn't be where we are right now at all, as I am not technically adverse enough in C++. We are currently still struggling with the SIGV errors but slowly getting there as we are now building a new libcamera.so based on CAF (Code Aurora Forums) source code which also includes our msm_camera.h from our kernel. Once we collect enough logs using adb and gdb we should be able to go back and make tweaks to the code to resolve our current libcamera.so. So we are still making progress it's just taking a long time.

However to answer your question if we had the source code we would have already solved all our main issues (Camera and HDMI) already and just be waiting for the CM Team or Google for the next release of Android. Since we have never been given any source code accept the kernel it's been an uphill struggle with everything, be it Camera, GPS, Wifi, Audio, Light Sensors, etc. TickerGuy helped resolve a lot of those issues with CM7 but even his Camera hacks where based off the Camera Libraries from the Cherry Mobile phone.

With source code we could just build everything out right and not have to be hassling so much with the code. Just copy and paste in the Motorola code, build, release and be done with it :D The only work the MTDEV would be working on is finding new and exciting ports of Android (MIUI, AOKP, Phandroid, etc) and release those as well for the Triumph.

Signed and sending to some freinds who have mt and also x6 variants

I also posted on XDA in the x6 area as well.

Thank you for the update, and once again thank you for doing this. :)
 
Might want to fix the typo on your description of the petition:

Every s/b ever, with out s/b without

"Without this code, no customers will ever enjoy Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jelly Bean on their Motorola Triumph."
 
how many do we need ?

I don't know if there is a number or not. I would like to see upwards of 1000 as I am sure there is over 1000 users of this phone still using it. In less than 24 hours we already have 126 signatures. But no matter how big or how small the number is I will be drafting a letter and sending it to Motorola Mobility, Inc Corporate office, I will let everyone see this and also offer a copy so anyone can send it out as well. Also I will be contacting the local news channel and see if they can run a story on this. I will even make a website if necessary. Also I have a contact at a local law firm and I can see if there is anything else we can do from a legal stand point as I assisted them with setting up their network and phone system.

While it may not end up anywhere, nothing will not happen if we don't try. We all voiced we wanted Jelly Bean and where shun. My hope is maybe this can be a start of change for all manufactures to see that upgrading devices is important to customers. I honestly believe there is not one customer of any Android phone that wouldn't even mind paying for an upgrade if that said phone vendor offered it. Anyways here is hoping!!

Remember their gracious offer of $100 discount on a new phone. :confused: Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Just a little frustrated by the fact that my phone is not even a year old and they want me to buy another one already!

Well hopefully we can get somewhere with this. I have also contacted my State Governor and asked her to sign, and also allow me to use her as my elected official on this petition

Susana Martinez,

I am contacting you today regarding an online petition I am working on for requesting open source software code from Motorola Mobility Inc. This petition is asking Motorola to release software for the Motorola Triumph (an Android cell phone) so developers like myself can take the code and release an updated version of Android for the masses. The travesty is that Motorola promised customers they would upgrade the phone or give the customer $100.00 towards the purchase of another phone.

Motorola offers $100 trade-in for abandoned Android phones | PCWorld

The issue with this lies in the fact that Motorola is now forcing customers to leave a pay per month service with Virgin Mobile and then move into a contractual agreement with AT&T or Verizon by taking this $100.00 for a new phone. I am contacting today and asking you for your support to sign this petition and also allowing me to add you as my elected official on this petition.

I would really appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,
