Our Source Code
Our PPA contains the new or modified packages used for the 12.10 Ubuntu Nexus7 image.
The kernel code is a very slightly modified copy of the original Android kernel that the Nexus7 runs.
The Original Google repository can be found at https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/. We sync up with new branches corresponding to new firmware updates there as Google makes them available.
