Astro update to V07

[Neophy]

Today, Planet Update works with Wi-Fi for me. Now I'm on v07b.

I am posting here because of the topic of screen flickering in this thread.
By app, I have been able to fix the following problems which I believe are specifications.
Screen flickers in dark places.
The screen turns off in dark places.
Slow response to screen brightness changes.
My device is rooted, I have not been able to test if it works on unrooted devices.

Is the source code available?

No, it's NDA'd, if you're referring to the BSP. Bootloader was taken down by Mediatek on GitHub.

There's a few projects mainlining the kernel and such, but AFAIK, I'm the only [active] one here with access.

Is there anything I can do to help bring a newer version of Android to the Astro Slide?

Is there anything I can do to help bring a newer version of Android to the Astro Slide?

No. There are several factors necessary, not least of which that we - the community - need Google to sign the builds, be an official Google partner, and the signing keys for the Astro. None of which we have.

https://github.com/planet-community for OSS'd repos.

However, I doubt the Astro will ever be updated. Whilst unsigned OSes (or test keys signed) could be used, it wouldn't be fully functional or supported on the Play Store. Therefore, a lot of apps would refuse to run.
