Back in July of 2011 I posted http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...ly/028479.html indicating that I was starting work on reverse engineering the Mode Control Entity (MCE). At the time I had obstacles in the way of properly reverse engineering it.

Thanks to some new reverse engineering skills, new reverse engineering tools, the discovery of an x86 binary version of MCE in the Fremantle SDK repository and the discovery of various bits of usefull information in various public source trees (especially various git revisions of the MeeGo/Harmattan MCE tree), after a few months of really hard reverse engineering work I can now present a working Fremantle PR1.3 MCE tree.

http://www.cncmods.net/files/mce_1.8.126+0m5.tar.gz contains the source code and http://www.cncmods.net/files/mce_1.8.126+0m5_armel.deb is a working ARMEL binary (I am running it on my phone right now with no issues)

If you wish to compile it yourself, read the file INSTALL in the tarball.

It should (assuming there are no bits of code I failed to properly reverse engineer) be a 100% clone of the Fremantle PR1.3 1.8.126+0m5 MCE.

Great work! Do you plan to talk with CSSU guys (I think you may already be in contact) and push it to CSSU-devel some time soon?

CSSU guys are free to take this and hack on it if they want, I dont plan to do any further work on it unless someone discovers that its in fact not a 100% clone of Fremantle PR1.3 MCE (i.e. that there are bugs in my reverse engineering work that I need to go back and investigate)

Quick message...
Finally, I see why there are exactly five brightness levels, and changing the gconf keys doesn't change the brightness behavior!

Best wishes. Thank you.

So what happens now? Testing in CSSU testing? What is the impact for current N900 users, don't see any difference for now except maybe for future enhancements and an easier port for use on the Neo900. I guess one less binary blob is a good thing...
