Ah,
so you are saying that what Tom sees is the OS we get, when we compile
it as described above? Somehow I did not read anything about this, so
thanks for this valuable info.
So, can I assume that the system itself is the same, only Gapps and
other apps you mentioned are missing? Will I be able to use all hardware
(like e.g. the FM radio) with this self compiled version of the OS?
@Michiel: is there really no way to flash the correct system ourselves
and do the affected people really need to send the phones back? Well, a
little bit of Linux experience might be necessary to do it. But can’t
they try?
