Actually, (from looking at the kernel source for other Huawei devices) you have that backwards. Huawei used other companies products (LCD, touchscreen, wifi chipset, etc) and wrote drivers for each part.

The thing that pisses me off about Huawei is that they leave fragments of code for all their devices when they release a kernel source, but write over the code for the other devices. Instead of just leaving everything how it was and adding on to it, they mess up everything by hacking everything together. Like Frankenstein.

I'm not sure why they took this approach. They could easily release one source code for every Huawei device. Instead, they risk being sued because they have to release the source code for every device and they don't. It seems to be this way in the Android world. I don't really have this problem in the Linux world.

After plugging the phone in and before mounting, there is a document folder that has an offer folder in it. In said document, it states:

I have contacted them in regards to making he source code available.... we shall see what happens.

EDIT: Email sent. Waiting on Huawei now. (as usual)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:
Damn ive been through those screens and never seen that. Nice eye. Lets hope they make good on that promise. Maybe send an email instead of a cd since it would be quicker.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
If we can get every Ascend user to bug Huawei on the Huawei forums, via email, etc. It'll get them moving faster. The Pulse users even created a petition. After they did that, they have the source now.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DonnieMo:
lmfao!

would be funny if you are the only one to receive a reply from them xD

[edit]

Sent them email requesting source through email instead of cd.

Makes no sense why they couldn't.

and instead of charging 20 euros for the "cost of preparing and mailing the CD to you" and not for PROFIT, then it doesn't really hurt them anyway to send the source by email.

sending and receiving emails are free... and no time delay in waiting for mail, i don't see why they didn't just state that in their offer?

should have just said something like

then from their you could request a download able version, or ask to buy a CD...

or hell... should have really said something like this...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:
Rofl not really subtle but effective.

We need every huawei ascend user to send them an email for the Source Code.

Like issacj87 said if we get a lot of people bugging them for the source code they will bound to have to give it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rodk904:
This is what i emailed them:

Dear Huawei, i see you guys are sending cds of the source code and gpl of the Huawei M860 for 20 euros, this would be more consumer friendly if it was posted on your site for free download which will eliminate hassels as towards repetitive requests and the amount of time used for and shipping hard copies. and seeing as how it is in conjunction with an open source google platform os, it would be a plus to building your name in the android phone market.

I had forgotten that I sent a feedback message to Huawei a couple of days ago. I encourage all of you to harrass Huawei there as well. Here's the link: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/feedbackAdd.do?method=preAdd&directoryId=70&treeId=0

In any case, I got a response back saying that they've passed along my request for the kernel to R & D. We just have to make it known to Huawei that we really want/need the kernel source.

If I bought the stupid cd would it take eons to get here? And could I send it to one of you more experienced people? I am seriously obsessed with a) getting froyo or gingerbread and b) TRULY overclocking my Huawei ascend which I thought after rooting it I would be able to do. Seriously, last night I fell asleep (after staying up most of the night searching for a solution) with my rooted pandigital novel, Huawei ascend and Macbook pro in bed with me. This is not well. :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
IF you buy it, I would suggest telling them to send it through email.

Faster, quicker, safer. But if we wait for like a few weeks they will probaly give it.

Since I can't upgrade my Cricket Ascend to 2.2, I decided to upgrade my wife's T-mobile htc hda2 to android 2.2 from WIndows Mobile 6.5.

I hope Huawei will at least reply to somebody about the source code or I may have to swipe the wife's HTC.

Step up Huawei!

Don't know if I should be doing this but... If you want to use it you should start by opening a new gmail account.

Open the program and hit change for the from field and choose send using smtp, the smtp server is: smtp.gmail.com and put your new gmail address in the from email address field

check my server requires authentication, for the user name put your full email address including the @gmail and of course your password, and specify port number 465 and check "this server requires a secure connection" and hit ok.

Then for the "To" field you'll see it already has a sample txt file selected, i would suggest using that file because you can see the layout you'll need, what you'll do is put a name: Huawei and then the email address in the second column, and then copy and paste that, up to 75 times, the limit of the free program.

Then choose a subject

and for the message you need to write whatever you want and save it as a txt file then hit "browse" and select your message

and you can uncheck the "html or mht" and your already to go...

I want to emphasize that this might not be a good idea, and that I probably shouldn't have written this....

On an unrelated subject, I find issues with swype/android kb/gingerbread keyboards.

Swype laggggggs. I'm tire of accidentally hitting the help button - idk if there is a menu setting i am missing...

Gingerbread looks the best, but when i txt someone, the last word from my previous txt in that thread is prefilled in my input box. Not to mention the most irritating autocomplete evar.

Android kb is the most rounded of the three, but the top keys don't respond very well. It does lag a bit on startup. Also, when i find a mistake, i click the word, and the cursor will go to the wrong location 9 times out of 10

Does anyone know of a lag free kb with none of the problems mentioned?

Most companies don't like being threatened.

Just wait, Huawei had no reason to give us the kernel source. They thought the the consumer market who would buy the Ascend wouldn't have any interest in developing for the phone. Now that they know, I'm sure the they'll give the source in some way or another.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ochochinko:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fodoom:
They should still be nice and just release the code anyway without someone asking for it. It's open source.

I hope they provided a better way of receiving the file than cd or their crap slow website.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
I'm not threatening them.I just told the name of the device and they didn't reply.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Honestly? I don't even know why some companies join the open-source game. Especially, when they:

A) Don't know the rules.

B) Don't know how to play.

I assume Huawei thought they could just sneak under the radar until pissed off Pulse users called them out on it. (Just like we're doing now). In Huawei's defense, they've actually released the source code they've used on most of their phones. They only real difference being that they have driver code that is specific to a particular device. The way I understand it, Huawei doesn't necessarily need to release source code for drivers that THEY'VE written, but if it is code based off of other GPL drivers (most of their crap they've stolen from Code Aurora), then yes, they need to cough up the source. I have a hard time telling what's what in Huawei's kernel source packages because they remove the headers (the legal information) that would tell about all the licensing stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
Isaccj87 When we get the kernel you will be able to make custom rom's?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Yeah, definitely. I've already made a couple custom roms, but they fell flat because a lot of things didn't work.

When I get the kernel source, I port the stuff over to the froyo kernel so we can have cool stuff like overclocking, apps2sd, etc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
Awsome that makes me want to get the kernel even more
