Hi,

Thats me. That repo has fully funtional source for the Zen variant of the phone. The Spreadtrum sources are enough to get started on other variants, but you will have to hack support for the dispay and possibly the touch panel.

It was a very interesting exercise getting stock debian onto these babies. I have been hoping to write it up for a while now, but never got around to it.

Please write it up - I've been investigating booting stock kernels on Android devices on and off for a few years now.
