Hi all.

I want to share my first firmware for A1200. It contais CG's from 31 to 43 (no bootloader, no BP), only AP part (can be called hybrid?). The CG's layout it's compatible with 42p original firmware and the kernel was modified and compiled by myself using the source code published by motorola for R541L7-LATAM and the sdhc patch from muromec, and other bugfixes.

I'm using it with my A1200i.
-SDHC card support (USB storage working!), up to 4GB for each partition. (sdhc patch from muromec, plus some bugfixes by myself, specific for this kernel).
-Exclusive kernel. Source from A1200e(R541L7-LATAM) modified to be compatible with other tracks, roflash and mtd addresses from 42p kernel source (I'm using A1200i).
-Based on A1200 Special Edition firmware, with widgets working (disabled by default, configurable in Setup).
-USB Net with AUTOMATIC FTP, SAMBA and TELNET. Just connect the cable and you will have all these services running.
-Video resolution up to 352x288
-Original swap manager (see screenshots).
-Included kernel modules: loop, ext2 and ext3.
-modprobe working
-Screen3 enabled (not tested)

Languages
-English
-Portuguese
-Spanish
-(there's symbolic links pointing to /ezxlocal/language_string/, the idea is use languages not included in firmware). Not tested.
-VR (only english included, there are symlinks too). Not tested.

Applications
-Fmradio without headphones.
-Picsel Viewer 3.1.3 (edit office documents)
-Photo Editor from A1600.
-Real player with equalizer.
-Busybox (including vi, bzip2, lzma,etc...)
-showQ
-inputbox (excellent for scripting)
-strace and ldd
-ssh and scp
-Bash3
-eKonsole.
-EZXSysInfo.
-LinLoader and Mpkg bultin (hidden, available only in "open with" menu).

Startup
/mmc/mmca1/startup.txt
/mmc/mmca1/startup1.txt
/ezxlocal/download/appwrite/mystuff/.init/startup.sh (must be executable)

Notes:
-If any problem occurs when starting widgets (widgets must prepare the sd card), extract system_widgets_swap.tar.gz in card (this firmware uses swap).
-Apply the edge script with radiocomm (Edge.tcs) if you have problem connecting to internet.
-I recommend to "Master Clear" and/or "Master Reser" after flashing. *** IMPORTANT ***
-Tested with "1GB Samsung card" and "4GB sdhc Kingston", both work.

Tips for flashing:
-Before flashing, be sure your battery is 100%.
-Keep your computer safe from power failure and your children away from it !

Is there Italian language? Great work!

[epinter]

Thank you.
During my tests I don't find any bugs ...

I hope the usage of this kernel don't stay limited to my firmware.

Thanks a lot epinter.

Italian language isn't included in firmware duo to space limitation ... But can be installed in /ezxlocal/language_string/ (there's a symlink in CG41).

Just to remember: If any file is in use in /ezxlocal or /ezx_user, "Master Clear" will not work, so when using additional languages installed in /ezxlocal, remember to change the language to the default english before the "master clear".

Is there Italian language? Great work!
