I just stumbled upon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757000&page=18 but am apparently not allowed to post there (due to a 10-postings rule… how interesting, considering *real* developers _despise_ web fora and hack instead…).
I cannot help but wonder whether one of these people has seen a patch against AOSP, if any is required, that enables building something that will work on the device (it’s probably bought in Germany, if that makes a difference).
I’m at a point where I can regularily run “repo sync” and “repo upload”, have a number of changes of mine accepted into AOSP and Android itself, and can run “make” in the top-level directory to get something that works with the emulator. As far as I can see, the hardware support in AOSP is limited… there’s samsung crespo, but I can’t figure out if that’s what I need.
And yes, I am really interested in flashing the HEAD of the AOSP on an actual hardware device (since it’s also sort of a technology preview, so my cow-orkers can evaluate all sorts of things). Especially since it’s open source.
