Is it possible to elaborate a little on how Edge users will profit from the fact that the code is made public?

Personally, I would prefer that Entourage focused on getting their software updates out ASAP than spending their time+ effort releasing codes. I am just a simpleton user (who is not a postal worker). I just want to use my device and get all major software updates from Entourage. I have previously tried custom developed firmwares for some devices (ie Rockbox for one of my mp3 players) and have almost always gone back to official software releases. I trusted Entourage enough the buy the darn thing from them. I think I will also trust them with my future software needs. Last edited by pat.indie; 08-22-2010 at 04:32 PM.

You can look at my samples of what can be done with EE on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1VHow7G2Ms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFGQS88V7fU e.t.c. |

Irony. I also would prefer that EE made software fixes and firmware updates if non ASAP, but at least at reasonable time. But for an unknown reason, the things which good programmer can fix in one hour, EE spending few weeks. You can search for bug reports\updates list and check by yourself (and I'm not even talking about feuture request section). So for myself, I decided that it is much faster to do what I want by my own and not wait until EE will make something.

Again, wrong. I am not holding my breath for any custom firmware, ironed or wrinkled. |

Okay, this is what I got back from engineering. They are looking into the gstreamer issue still. --- The config file was published as part of the kernel source: see arch/arm/configs/pxa168_edge_defconfig. What we provided was a "clean" kernel, i.e. no .config file. To build kernel... $ make ARCH=arm pxa168_edge_defconfig $ make ARCH=arm --- The compiler we use is the one provided with Android 1.6_r2 source, under prebuilt/linux-x86. (see http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla....git;a=summary) The specific version is... jb@jbxa168-linux-2.6.29$ arm-eabi-gcc --version arm-eabi-gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

That's exactly how I tried to compile for the first time and there's were some fatal errors. So I thought that machine used by EE's enginers contain some additional envirement settings (configs,
sym links e.t.c.) or there's problem whith compiler. Currently I'm busy with abother project, so I'll check it when new firmware will be released. Thanks. |

Robot,
Okay we just checked it again and it worked on our side. When you get a chance, can you PM me a trace of what you see when you try to make it? Also, I have the GStreamer source now and will get it put up on the Knowledge Base links. DP |

Okay, the GStreamer source has been added. Sorry for the omission.

I haven't checked, been busy (if anyone of you pays attention to tech news sites you know why), is the full config included in the source as of right now? Can someone shoot me an email at justin<at>androidpolice.com when the new update is live, so I can get a writeup posted?

My official apologies to dontpanic..., there were problems with developing machine I used for kernel testing.
