Well, it is fairly deep AFAIK. Unfortunately not all the components are open source, if it only was so life would be all daisies

For example, the SMS-extended-character handling bug in "/usr/lib/libsms.so.0.0.0", which causes device to trash the received SMS message without a trace even when it had correctly acknowledged the receiving to RAN.
(A bug that I call absolutely critical as it breaks the (un-)deniability of messaging...)

Now install and uninstall wont close all apps!

Thanks, you solve this major bugs

@juiceme, i think you should open a new thread for this bugs fix

If you decide it's necessary, can you plz share the link here, TIA.

I made a new thread about it; http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91825

@juiceme
"Back-to-back flashing is performed by first flashing the device like in "normal closed mode flashing", both emmc and rootfs. Then, immediately flashing the device again, now with an Open Mode kernel, without letting the device to boot up between the two flashing rounds."

I use Windows:
Will the device automatically boot up after first normal mode flashing? Meaning does I need to do something to avoid this?

You must not give thr '-R' parameter.
And you must not unplug USB.
And you must not wait too long between those two flasher commands (else the device leaves flashing mode on itself and reboots).

That's all.

for point 3 you may prepare the command oflline (device not plugged), press Enter and use command repetition (up and down arrows) afterwards ...

If you used the "standard" L2fixed kernel or any minimally modified open mode kernel that is OK.
The reason the kernel id string is same is because the kernel module interface has been kept same as the original. (so you do not need to install new modules with the kernel)

if you are in doubt, do a "dmesg | head" and look for the kernel compile stamp. If you see my name there it is OK

Thanks! (juice@alaspin) behind version - correct?
