Is the source for the Jolla kernel open yet? Also, being a kernel module, shouldn't it be open source (unless they did some creative, but backwards linking workarounds)

In any case, since the 3.x kernel for N9/50 is still not working quite right, how about trying the kernel compat project?

In other news:
Is anybody working on camera and media playback functionality?

It seems that gst-nokia-camera (composed of the closed libomap3camd with only open headers available and libgstcamera for OMAP platforms, by RidgeRun? - GitHub?)

As for media playback, gstreamer plugins should be installed for it - while hardware acceleration may not be available, surely it can be decoded in software unless Jolla's media stack (hopefully not MAFW...) needs HW decode?
