    IMHO, the "modify only if you really need to" methodology is the best possible.
    mkay guess youre right (as always...smart guy :P) is it hard to port MIUI or is it hdpi only?

    OK. So this isn't really the bootloader sources what are the most interesting in these Acclaim source package! There are full XSR/STL sources inside. You should know what it means. Stay tuned.

    It's the only proprietary, binary kernel module we need to boot our phone. As we've got the sources, it's no longer binary.

    But these sources are for bootloader, not for kernel (XSR and RFS kernel modules do not come with source), does this make any difference?

    Anwyay- won't Samsuck hunt us? Bootloader sources were removed from the package quite some time ago

    Yes, but there are differences in configs (ours can be not properly configured- e.g. most of other configs contain screen resolution), I wouldn't touch it without JTAG at hand

    tom3q,
    Ok I understand you now, I'll still help with the modules
    Code:
    for (n00b n : mSamdroid) {
        if (!n.findAnswer()) {
            n.useSearch();
        }
    }

    It's great news! We've been hunting this down for some time, but when we finally have something, we get more questions than answers..

    They are OS and platform independent, so they have a Core part which calls Platform Adaptation Module and OS Adaptation Module functions. The only thing missing from the sources may be OAM for Linux (but I can see OAM/u-boot/LinuxOAM_kernel.c, which they probably used as a template for u-bootOAM.c and forgot to remove) and proper Makefile for compilation as a kernel module (but it's provided within the binary package).

    I don't think they can actually do anything in Poland
    Anyway, XSR is an old technology (as raw NAND and OneNAND are) and it already got replaced by MoviNAND which has wear leveling and block mapping done in hardware. Therefore, I don't think Samsung has still big interest in it.
