heheeh... you may be waiting a while
I'm a good (dare i say, great) sysadmin... but I'm a first time phone hacker, and it is opening my eyes WIDE. For example, had I not run into the small bug with the recovery, I would've happilly gone ahead and flashed a zip file that would've formatted the wrong partition as the /system... and there are a bunch of partitions to choose from. Fortunately I found that other bug before doing anything, or this might be a completely different story ;-)
Right now I'm just trying to get something to boot a kernel, which I'm failing at right now. I'm a guy with a fairly demanding 9-5 job and I'm doing a little at a time, learning along the way. If it wasn't for my utter hate of TouchWiz, I probably might not even be bothering.
I will say this... This little device is a beast. I was hoping that this would be very much like the galaxy s2 phones that came out in recent past, and that all I'd have to do is copy another device profile as my starting base. However this thing seems to be a weird frankenstein of Galaxy S and S2 traights and code bases. The trouble with that is that all the GS have a common base they each reference, and all the GS2 have a common base they all reference. Creating my merged frankenstein build is proving to be quite the pain.
Also, flashing a build without a solid way to debug if things go wrong... and simply hoping for the best. It's nerve wracking ;-)
