- Kernel source: https://github.com/Idontknow186/Alcatel-OT980-Kernel

Whats new

- Bluetooth

- Tethering

- Camera support for locations, effects and zooming

- GPS related changes

- Rebased against newer nightly gingerbread branch (for better or worse)

What needs to be tested

- Bluetooth headsets

- GPS reliability (modified drivers again)

Known Issues

- You may need to tell your favorite tethering application to not use wpa_supplicant

- GPS config is for North America so fix may be slower in other countries (see update above for european config)

- Stock keyboard is oversized. Install your favorite from the market (should be fine I'm currently using stock).

- More reliable wireless in some cases with Regulatory domain: 14 (don't quote me on it might be nothing :P)

- Might break if you use link2sd, may need to format data. Can some one who is using it try updating the su binary in the super user application via the preferences after installation (not a 100% confirmed fix so try at your own risk).

- Bluetooth not functional for voice calls
