This is just the kernel source, we'll also need a dump of the ROM itself to get things rolling. Fortunately, Nexus S devices should be in consumer hands in a day or two, so it won't be long.

cant wait

I hope it's something that a lot of people work on once we have a rom dump.

Might be the first source we can use that's not littered with bloat and bugs.

looks like it's the same board as ours... I'm going to compile it and give it a shot on mine

I wouldn't do that if I were you...

This. Nothing would ever get done if people didn't take risks and experiment.

I am a little curious myself. I do however imagine that the modem is going to be the biggest stumbling block, as I doubt the 2.3 kernel will interface to an existing modem. And if the NS's modem was found, it'd undoubtidly not function properly on AT&T's WCDMA network.. However, do report what happens with the flash, although I think getting past the boot screen would be a severe accomplishment

Any word on whether this source is based on Samsung's RFS? Or do we finally have some access to friggin' native EXT4.

Its Ext4 for parts and YAFFS2 for other parts.

If I'm not mistaken, that's something we haven't had before, correct? Isn't an EXT4 (or similar) based kernel the real requirement for ridding ourselves of lagfixes, etc.?

[GPL][DEV-Kernel][WIP] 2.6.35 for desirec (DEAD?)

I'm no longer working on this. I've tried, failed, and moved on. It seems that some other folks have had some success. Maybe they will continue on. Between work, family, college, etc. it's obvious that I'm getting nothing done on this.
This is an attempt at taking the work being done for the heroc here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911828 and porting it to the Eris.
Honestly, I know enough to be dangerous and that's about it. The HeroC (sobe and those thanked in the post linked to above) folks and those upstream from there are doing most of the work. So, thank you to them.
If anyone would like to help, please do. That's the main reason that I'm posting this now. The kernel doesn't even compile at this point, much less boot. (It's hard to boot something that doesn't exist. )
Source: https://github.com/gnarlyc/cm-kernel
So far, here's what I've done.
1) forked sobe's repo
2) copied the heroc board files, renamed the copies to *desirec*, and changed all instances of HEROC to DESIREC and heroc to desirec inside the files
3) started removing heroc touchscreen stuff and adding desirec touchscreen stuff
Why am I doing this?
1) learn more about kernels
2) use some that programming knowledge that I'm supposedly learning in class
3) get an updated kernel for the Eris
very nice, i do wish you luck.
Very good. Glad to see you working on this.

For those who don't follow the front page news, the Heroc 2.6.35 Kernel is now good enough to be considered a Release Candidate. Same link as in first post.

Reboot your phone and look at the splash screen. Now imagine seeing your phone stuck right there. There's your screenshot!
I'll send you a flashable zip, if you want it.
Flash doesn't work because they don't want to support our proccesors architecture.

Any work still going on n with this?
This is what we would need to port over the new Hero Sensable Gingerbread right? Man if we could get this working, I would be about the happiest guy in the world
My final exam is on Wednesday of next week. So, I can promise that I will put much more effort into after that. I can't promise to get it working, but I'll definitely put a lot more time in. As I said before, if anyone wants to jump in and help, feel free. There's already one other person (breber) helping, but I think he's been in the same boat as me. So... Hopefully, he'll be able to help more after classes are over too.
Kernel updates are pretty much the only updates I ever care about.
Just an update. This hasn't been worked on as much as I hoped. However, I've had help from breber. Actually, he's made much more progress than I did. The kernel not only compiles, but it boots too! As soon as we can get the touchscreen working, it might even be usable.
Here's the current source.
https://github.com/breber/cm-kernel
If anyone else wants to take a stab at it, feel free. Our time is somewhat limited.
I've played around with adding the capella 3602 stuff back in, but it didn't seem to help with the touchscreen issue. The TS is one of the few components that are different between the HeroC and Eris.

Blurry Bread

Is anyone out there using Drod's blurrybread rom? If so, is the CRT animation enabled? Or can I just use the same file I used for the stock gingerbread for it?
Yes. Yes. and Yes it works well.. ..I'm not sure what file your referring to for stock gingerbread though.
I was refering to the zip file that I flashed to enable it for the stock gb but since it's already there I wont need it. I'll be flashing as soon as I can
+1 for blurrybread.
My only complaint so far, is my swype license doesn't want to stick around after reboots and has to be regenerated.

Oh ok. Well yeah if needed that can be flashed again.
anyone know if blurrybread is going to be updated to the official GB release? i really like it and don't really want to load the official until drod has had his way with it.
I could be wrong...but Im pretty sure drod said on twitter that hes developing solely for the thunderbolt now.

Yep or at least say "im moving on" or not working on it again in their thread damn .
well... that's a bumber. at least it didn't seem like he had done a ton with blurry bread anyway. hopefully someone with the skills will do the same. it was really just some "basic" tweaks to the base rom. nothing particularly major. i'd do it but don't have that level of skill... but surely someone out there will do something similar. i hope at least.

[REQ]EXT4 universal kernel from new source code

Any chance we will see an EXT4 kernel that can be flashed onto any of the EH17 ROMs built from the released source code by Samsung? I saw a few people displaying full satellite locks of 8 out of 8 or better. It would be great to flash that onto one of the EH17 ROMs. Thanks.
Yeah, easy. We can easily change the initramfs to have ext4. But I think the dev's right now are trying to make it "built in".

The satellite lock is from the gps deamon pulled from the fascinate build. It was one of the things Decad3nce did to get it working in cm7. At least I think that's where it came from.
Somebody was showing that satellite lock in mkasick's kernel release from the new source.

The Next Big Thing for S II (ROM Feature)

Hey!
I am kinda interested to see what S II users want for the next big Feature in all ROM or a suggestion of ROM.
Except the basic features which all ROMs have like Root,Init.d,BLN etc.
And if the suggestion is clicky I will try to develop the ROM ASAP! with the same feature. OF COURSE...DUH!

Make a ROM that gives me the power of seduction.
NO one does simply ask question like this
How about Dual/Multi boot? I know that this has already been done by the great 'HellCatDroid' but it still has certain limitations and it's a proof-of-concept but when it comes to actual practice, it's not possible to use it. May be someone could design a 'multi' boot loader (/bootmanager?)
Find a way to recover the hidden 500 meg partition on our phone and use it for something useful.
But I still say power of seduction.
No wakelock implementation of BLN...
Make a rom which has better battery life than all other roms out there
I want my phone to implement the latest CM9 commits each time I reboot. I also want it to have a kernel built from source.
I'll keep dreaming.

just talking here, but this isn't too far fetched. on a fairly complicated setup, you can actually accomplish something similar with: cronjob to compile CM automatically on your linux computer + ClockworkMod scripts (Koush might have removed this in recent recoveries, not too sure) + Tasker. strictlyrude27 and brandall used to backup their ROMs automatically with Tasker executing shell commands, so flashing a ROM was/is probably possible. Just figure a way to get the compiled ZIP over to your SD card (probably rsync) and have Tasker execute shell commands on a reboot..

Thats what we need the most right now! +1
An exchange email application that doesn't drain battery like the stock Samsung app on active sync.
It needs the sources to fix but no suitable sources have ever been released to fix the bug.
Even the market ones drain battery.
I'll keep dreaming that one day we'll get a battery friendly exchange application with push.
And no I won't get a blackberry I had one before and as well as it works the whole o/s is severely lacking.

AOKP for A500

So I just found the AOKP forums, and I have an Acer A500. I see build 28, but I don't see a thread for it. Is it safe to download the A500 version of build 28? I am also on Thor's CWM recovery version 1.7, which is CWM 5.5. Will flashing this do anything to internal or external SD storage, or the CWM installation?
There WAS one, then it was revealed that the AOKP was using Thors kernel without permission, so it was banned.

So will this overwrite my current CWM install, or format any of my SD storage? I want to be able to flash back to my current ROM without losing anything.
Personally, I'd steer clear. Last time I saw a status update on it, it was pretty unstable, would reboot on suspend unless you turned off animations, and generally pretty crap. The only part that worked properly was their donation links.
The leak-based ROM's on here, or Thor's current release, are FAR more stable.
However, AFAIK, it won't touch your recovery partition or wipe SD storage, but I can't guarantee that.
From what I'm seeing, the later builds are much more stable.

In all fairness, it works fine on my SGSII. It was ported to the Sprint variant.
This same version? The one using a ripped off copy of Thor's old GIT tree that doesn't work properly?
