LG Gingerbread source code released

[Xasder]

No you're not AFAIK

What do you mean? Of course he is. Go to URL in first post, then in browser's address bar enter - for v20g:

javascript:legalOverlay('LGP500_Gingerbread_v20g.zip','WWZ','LGP500','opensource');

for v20e:

javascript:legalOverlay('p500_gingerbread_v20e.zip','WWZ','LGP500','opensource');

It's the same kernel though. v20e archive is bigger only because they included all the binaries and temp files from kernel build. If you do make distclean then the only differences are kernel/arch/arm/configs/thunderg-vdf-perf_defconfig and 2 new files in kernel/drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/include - athendpack_linux.h, athstartpack_linux.h.

So they are different and source were updated.

I've just sent them a friendly reminder on make distclean & Co.

Does anyone know what LG uses as a base for their kernel? Must be a MSM/QSD kernel from codeaurora.org, but which branch and revision?
I want to do a diff and find just the changes made by LG.

you cant use any kernel, to run on a lgp500 u need the p500 kernel sources
provided by lg as open source - read this thread.

Obviously I understand that.

I wrote a script to find the smallest patch between LG sources and git://codeaurora.org/kernel/msm branch android-msm-2.6.35. The smallest I got was around 5MB. But there's a lot of crap that does not come from LG and are older/newer versions of files from git://codeaurora.org/kernel/msm. That would need to be resolved manually to get just the relevant LG changes.
In other words, it would have been super nice if they included git history with their sources.

If I have the diff with just the LG changes I could go to any kernel version in MSM/QSD tree. Does it make sense? If I'm missing something please do tell, I could just be wasting my time...

Anyone built a kernel off the official source code?
Is LG's fix of the touchscreen better/worst than the workaround/patch already available here?

LG is always worse, and franco knows better.

It's the same that comes in the v20 stockroms only that tethering is broken

I requested on Feb 9th for LG to release the source for the P500h gingerbread and they replied today that it was done a month ago but forgot to inform me lol

For those interested the source code for the V20a of Telus's P500h is out as well.
