Samsung mobile has a special page devoted to releasing their phone software as open source. If you browse through the models available you will find that there are also versions for Samsung galaxy i7500. There are currently four files available:
- GT-I7500_OpenSource.zip
- GT-I7500_OpenSource_Update1.zip
- GT-I7500_OpenSource_Update2.zip
- GT-I7500_OpenSource_Update3.zip
This has come as a surprise to me. I have thought if Samsung has released it’s firmware as open source there would be many more people involved in further development of new version of firmware. Maybe we’d see the phone with Android 1.6 sooner and with 2.0 or 2.1 at all. Now I’m not sure I’ll see it on my phone.
I located your blog on google and browsed some of your various other blogposts. I just now added you to my Google News Reader. Carry on the good work. Will enjoy reading much more from you in the future.
