Guys i really appreciate your effort here, but i would think that a petition for an open source kernel has zero chance.
its not iNew that is the problem here but Mediatek.
Mediatek has been bombarded over and over with this request but they refuse to make any source public.
If you have a look at what is going on with the Faea effort that also looks like a dud. i mean its worth more than anything before, but still it more looks like a bunch of devs trying to reverse engineer that stuff than anything else. the ROM they managed to come up with boots on the Faea, but doesnt do much else. if they had the source then i would think they'd be further than that. but that is just my 2c.
As for the battery, i think the best strategy was to ask battery factories to make a replacement.
iNew wont care for a petition, they dont even answer to any email.
this phone is great, but in 3-4 months neither the market nor iNew is going to care about it anymore.
they are going to throw something new, maybe better out there or some of the many competitors is going to "get it right" and there is going to be another hype phone with great specs, value and good price.
By no means give up, you never know....
