Oh and - the kernel source is available @ http://developer.htc.com/
But - It feels like they almost went out of their way (HTC that is) to make it harder to use... Its a branch of 2.6.27 if i remember correctly, with lots of 2.6.29 patches pulled into it, merged with a load of HTC's own changes - all thats fine ... BUT - its had *all the revision history stripped*.. So trying to port the hero specifics from it into the AOSP kernel is nearly impossible... and .29 is needed for android 2.0+ Thanks, Kiall On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 6:39 PM, Kiall Mac Innes <[email protected]> wrote: > You can't build a "from scratch" ROM for the Android Dev Phone 1, Android > Dev Phone 2 or the Nexus 1 either.
