Nope. A lot of the patches applied by devs for all of these Android devices are straight from manufacturers. That's the pro/con of an open source project. While the paid engineers occasionally benefit from the work of volunteers, us end users also benefit from the volunteers fixing problems that the engineers might have taken longer to fix on their own. Also, when the handset is not locked down, we can test and have these fixes before carriers push the updates through their lengthy approval process.
A small setback - my data connection dropped and I had to reset my phone to get it back. Apparently this has been happening with other kernels including those with CM10 on other devices, and those kernel devs are backing out their HSIC changes. I'm in contact with a dev that has the msm_hsic_host fixes in place and doesn't have the data drops, and he's saying it's because there are a few additional patches that have been released that those devs may not have applied that could be fixing that small data drop issue. Rather than revert (no point as that's my only real change so far) I'm going to start applying additional patches to see if I can come up with the one(s) that fix that issue. I'll still release the kernel in its current state, but likely as 0.9.0 instead of 1.0.0 because of this known issue. It may not affect everyone (apparently it has something to do with LTE handshakes between towers), so perhaps some people won't even experience the issue. They're just beginning to deploy LTE by me and it was while I was just leaving my house area that it happened, so I would tend to believe that's the reasoning. According to VZ's LTE map, LTE is within a mile of reaching my house now.
Anyway, just wanted to give you the update. At least there are no lockups or reboots, I'm pretty certain of that now. It's just that the initial release will have a little asterisk/warning next to it now. I'll keep digging for you guys until I get to the bottom of it.
