I know systems programming, but I cannot do anything unless I can build the quattrimus firmware. Build instructions would enable me to start hacking on it.

Please post build instructions. :)

I just double checked this and you are right. For some reason I thought it was 320x240.

The hardware is the main reason. It lacks 4G support. It also lacks Near Field Communication and a front mounted camera. It is limited to 802.11b/g support and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support. It has 256MB of embedded storage for the OS and applications, which forces people to put applications on a...

Re: Updating to ICS? What is the difference?

The term cell was adapted to describe living things after people noticed that they looked like that. The use of it in mobile phones is a consequence of people's tendency to throw away syllables when saying things. The correct name is "cellular phone". Anyway, as a person with a CS degree, it...

I build my own kernels a few times a month for my computers, so building a kernel is not a problem for me. I just need their kernel sources and to make my life easy, the .config file they use. If I can get those, I could write a script which could automate this process. I might be able to...

As far as having to maintain things at upstream goes, aren't people maintaining it as a fork already? I thought that maintaining a fork was more work than pushing stuff to upstream. Is there anything that makes having a permanent fork more desirable? By the way, I just found your guide...

Is information on how to compile the firmware image available? I would like to try my hand at hacking on it. I am Gentoo Linux user and I know C, C++ and Java. By the way, will the patches that enable cyanogenmod to work on the LG Optimus V be sent to upstream?

Does that include IHO-Purity-X? I cannot find an option for it in the Settings. Also, how do I compile this myself?

The activation application is unnecessary. It duplicates the functionality available for swapping phones in the official website. As for changing the MDN and MSID, there should be some way to do it that bypasses the need for the hidden menu application, but I do not know what that way is.

How do I checkout from the repository? I tried cloning the git repository, but I only obtained a few files. One looks like some kind of manifest file describing all of the packages used in the system, but I do not see any code. By the way, have any of the people working on this included...

My LG Optimus V has a 320?480 display. I would like to upgrade it to 480?720 or higher. Does anyone know if any of the panel manufacturers is selling a higher resolution panel that is both physically and electrically compatible with the LG Optimus V?

Symphony of Eternity works. It is an awesome RPG that Amazon was giving away for free yesterday.

When I say emergency calls, I mean calls informing my advisor why I will be late for a meeting before I am late.
