New Kernel 2.6.35 - Droid Eris Android Development

I have the new 2.6.35 kernel that gnarlyc was working on working on my eris, I am going to post the link to download after I test it on a few of the other roms. I will release the new kernel in a couple days just wanted to let you all know
Thanks gnarlyc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992323

Well, no real need to thank me. I just start projects and hopefully someone else comes along and finishes them! Great job. Thank you. I look forward to flashing this on my kid's Eris.

Oh sure, now you tell me

What are the differences between the old kernel and this one. Also will this be okay to flash on GSB?

Congrats!
Is this based on the recent HeroC/DesireC sources, or the older s0be based sources?
Are the updates on github or some other repository site?

Yeah, me too I had been working on the breber github source and finally got a bootable ERIS that I could adb into and captured a dmesg as well. Only thing lacking (small issue), is that none of the buttons worked I had an idea on a fix but lost my dev box and am waiting on a replacement MB to continue.
Question is, how different is the source tree for this kernel from the breber github source? When I used the breber source, I did change many kernel options to build many items as modules (ipv6 etc...) I've used the stock CM7 as the base w/ many mods for our older phones, and was able to reduce the size of the kernel image fairly significantly. Bootup was a bit quicker, but main idea was to remove some options that are rarely used, but still make them available as modules.
I've not tested this kernel yet, but I had to make a lot of mods to the defconfig etc... to get breber to work. 2.6.35 gives us some nice features, such as auto memory compaction / defragmentation etc... In the short time I was able to use it, it appeared to run better than the .29 we've all been using.

has it been a few days yet?

Yes, finally I just got it up and running end of last week and have been playing catch-up. I use this box as a mailserver for my domain, so it spent the first 10 hours processing over 49000 messages.
Funny timing though, just compiled .35 and was getting ready to flash it. At this point, I have no idea where I left off Maybe I'll smoke the Eris next....

as long as we get a download link soon

I was hoping we might hear some updates for the people working on this...
It would be a big help if those who have gotten it to boot would post their source so others can help get this to a stable point without having to repeat work. I'd like to see Eris development stay alive even as many, including myself, have moved on to more powerful phones.

sounds good to me. I do have my box up and running, just haven't had much time to mess with it. somewhere along the the line, I screwed up my Conf, but I'll get it. It boots, but I've messed up the mtd enumeration, so no init gets started.
Just as an fyi, I'm using breber's github source with the arm 4.4.3 eabi.

Well, the good news is, I'm running 2.6.35 now. But.... the bad news is that it's on a new Moto Razr. However, I'll still be tinkering with the Eris in my spare time.
I've rooted the Razr, but I'll tell you. Getting recovery on it's a booger. Also, the battery is sealed in (I'm sure the 2 small screws at the top allow a lift out and disconnect). But, kinda got nervous for a sec when I tried to boot into recovery and got nowhere with no easy way to pull the batt. Overall, liking the phone a lot.
Now.... If only I can dig up my working config. I have a cloud based backup system that versions stuff. Need to go through and see if I've got something there.

Having a current generation phone is quite a change. I am enjoying my gnex a lot and since it doesn't need much modification, I still get to spend a good bit of my dev time with the eris .
Maybe we can talk workshed into messing with this .35 kernel again when you find that config...or he might be burnt out for awhile on the frustrations that are the kernel porting and the tbolt as a whole.

Just throwing something out there

Would it be any easier using a moment dump to help compile some sprint specific stuff since the moment runs a vanilla android to get things ready for a 2.0 upgrade?
Are you referring to a 2.0 upgrade of Moment or Hero?
Both phones are running 1.5 so I am not sure what we would be able to get from the Moment.

As kcarpenter said, we aren't trying to take a 1.5 rom and make it 2.x. We have a GSM 2.x rom that we're trying to make work on a CDMA phone with a kernel that doesn't exist for us.
sorry, I meant for specific apk for sprint since htc hacked up stuff to get cdma to work and so on, but nevermind
Good thought, never hold back on ideas. The more ideas and thoughts that are put out here on these forums gives people like flipz more opportunities to create bigger better things. Who knows, you may say something that puts everyone on the right track to fixing this 2.1 data issue.
@flipz - I always thought kernels just magically appeared. No luck with this one? Maybe we should find a corn farmer...wow that was a bad pun.
Are you 100% sure this is a kernel issue? I was just doing some research on the RIL and it seem that would certainly hold the keys to enable data and such. I've been looking up from my phone so my knowledge is limited since I haven't been home since tues.
So if we can write a Sprint specific RIL then we'd be looking pretty good. Or is the issue that the RIL is compiled into the kernel itself.

I think I recall reading that the RIL is in the kernel. I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong.
Darn manufacturers keep messing us over. Moment with the jacked up file system so Root stuff won't work but they release source (minus RFS stuff required to get the real goodies working). HERO with no kernel but it seems like everything else is inline.

Incredible Roms

I would like to start a table to keep all of the active roms in development organized, I'm having a hard time keeping track of them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Incredible/ROMs
I started it with Skyraider since I am currently running that. If anyone else can edit onto this I think it might be useful.
Here's a list of some http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739428
Thanks, I will try and compile a list tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully people can help fill in the details I can't find.
nice
very nice, lets keep that going!!!!
Ok I updated it a good amount, i will try to populate more of it tomorrow but I would really appreciate if any of you get a chance to fill in some information especially the version numbers if you are running the roms.
I am personally still running stock 2.1 rooted w/ hydra kernel so I wouldn't be too much help in gaining info on latest running roms, however http://incredibleroms.com/roms/ has a list of roms that is fairly updated and includes some info. I would rip info right from the site, but I don't know how happy they'd be about it or how accurate it'd necessarily be (just a good place to find inc rom info). jdfroyo is not on the list for a reason (the account that user was using is currently banned on these forums... there are some trust issues at stake).
goood stuffff!!!!
Can someone move this to the front page? This was VERY helpful to me and I still like checking for anything new from time to time.
I personally am using one from Adrynalyne and I love it. It strips a lot of Sense stuff so I get much better battery life from it. I also have the stock OTA leak from late July so I need to redo that one to the one from August.
Something I installed and I think it was Adrynalyne's ROM changed my Hboot and until it I could unroot now I can't but no big deal for now.
I would like to edit the Wiki to include it but I don't know if he has posted it here and I don't know if he would appreciate me including it there. If I get a wild hair I might message him and see if he would mind if it is ok to update it with a ROM from a member here that may or may not have posted the ROM here. Wow this may get to complicated for me to mess with actually.

[Q] Droid X as PSFreedom?

noticed that the psfree has been ported to a couple of cell phones (palm pre, nokia n900). i was wondering if it was possible for this to be ported over to our phone. it would be nice not to have to buy any extra hardware to do this. anyone who's smart know anything about this? like if it can be done, what would need to happen to make it work?
here is a site discussing the port to the pre. http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65355
they released a version for nexus one
needs unlocked bootloader
well that sucks. there is really no way around it? i'm sure if someone smart enough really wanted to do it, someone would. probably not that much interest in it though. too bad, although if someone were to figure it out i would definitely throw a coffee donation their way.
well seems a lot of devices are compatible:

droid x not listed though, hopefully someone gets interested in doing this.

Well it says compatibility for the Milestone is in progress...which also has a locked bootloader like the X. So maybe you could check with the devs working on the Milestone or try the Milestone release when it comes out?

i don't think the milestone will help us, it seems like it works because it has the musb usb controller. not sure what we ahve with the dx but somenoe woudl definitely have to do some work to make this happen. too bad nobody seems to have this phone.
I've been looking today for a good way to go about compiling the module for froyo-based dx, as I've been wanting to for tun.ko as well to get vpn working again. Prior I found a .config and module compiled, but haven't seen anything for Froyo around the tun. Now there's additional motivation to make the psjailbreak module loadable, and figure there's got to be a way to resolve symbol issues.
I also saw another thread for overclocking modules, so figure someone's got to have a clean .config that works to also produce these *other* modules on and for a dx.
Not sure also how the boot.img file works in the exploit, if the signed bootloader would play against this. If the module were loaded after the boot process, it doesn't seem to care, but not at all certain how much this is modifying the boot process yet.

t4tav says that this bypasses the bootloader so no need to unlock it
this should work if the ps3-signed.zip flashes into the X with the custom recovery!
otherwise the files inside it need to be replaced with X compatible ones, I can't try because I'm at work but I will later. if it doesnt work you can always flash sfb back to stock

[Q] Port Kali Linux Nethunter from Nexus 5 to LG G2 (D802)

Hi everyone,
as the LG G2 is produced by the same manufacturer (LG) as the Nexus 5 and has the same chipset (despite some minor differences e.g. Battery, Display,...), I have been wondering if there is a way to port the Kali-Linux Android ROM (Nethunter) to work with the LG G2.
LINK: http://http://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/
LINK:http://http://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
The mere existence of a MAHDI ROM port from N5 to G2 makes me think, that it should be possible.
I would also be quite keen on getting involved in such an effort but I am not very fluent in porting Android ROMS.
I have basic coding skills and am not afraid of learning new stuff so I'd really appreciate if one of the Android-Gurus would kind of orchestrate the whole thing.
Thanks for your attention and good bye.
mick
That would be really awesome!
Yeah, but it seems it will remain a dream, as the members to whom this is addressed to, obviously do not read the Q&A Forums. Why should they anyway?
The problem is, if I open a development-thread it's not unlikely, that someone will be playing the wrong-forum-double-post-card.

To be honest, I'd say look at Dr87's github. He ported Mahdi over... Though really I don't think that the rom itself is "ported" so much as the drivers/kernel/ramdisk need to be modified to work with the code on this device.
I would suggest starting by getting the rom source you want. Then setting up the device in the source using the devices/kernel/vendor files he made. You'll likely get errors during the build, but it would give you a starting point.
There are many, many guides out there on porting roms to new devices. Read through some of those if you haven't and it might help to steer you in the right direction.

Do you mean, that it is not "ported" due to the fact that the chipsets of both devices are the same?

I don't want to look lazy, but as you pointed out, there are many guides out there. Some are old, most are really old. Can you name one or two particularly good ones?
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions...it's going to be a long night.
No, I mean the rom source doesn't seem to need heavy changing typically. Usually the changes to the rom code at large is pretty minimal. Most of the time you need to tweak the device files to work with the rom (caf changes and such).
To be honest, I'd point you toward the Cyanogenmod guides... they have some custom commands but their guide would probably be the most up to date of any.
That should be correct. They have a FAQ at the Nethunter site where they say, that one could use the rom by building a rootfs. This would imply, however, that one could not use the features that come with a dedicated kernel.
So, yes, the rom part should not be the problem. The kernel part will be problematic. I think I'll send a message to dr87, perhaps he has some advice,too.
Just to make it clear, I bought this device some days ago and I want to be quite sure that my messing around with it will not brick or damage it somehow.
Ok. So I'll have a look at the CM-Guides.
I just read about this for the nexus 5 and googled for the lg g2 and came across this thread. I would love to get this working on my g2, gonna do some more googling and see if I can find anything else going on.

I am learning how to port Ubuntu, at the moment. Once I learn that, I can attempt to do it with Kali. Sound good? It may a take a bit, but better than no one trying at all.

AOSPA came and went. No longer under development. Unless somebody else takes over the project, not likely it will resurface.

This device is simply phenomenal but LG simply become like Samsung but LG not see their north yet lack of updates, bootlops, failure hardware etc same applies for others but LG no learn can`t imagine this device LG v20 GPE simply a beast plus stock camera on AOSP ROM!!!!!

Ill see if I still have it. Dude moved onto the note 8.
Damn, thought I was getting a christmas gift. I wanted this for our phone too but it seems any other rom other than stock has some issues with the kernel.
https://github.com/PA-CAF
This is similar to AOSPA legacy as stated by the maintainer of the source I've built on it for the oneplus2 which which dident get offical N support its easier to build than regular AOSPA but the way lineage separated trees has complicated things... I'm going to try to get it going but I haven't really dealt with this conversion stuff before
Update while I've gotten it to build, a while back actually, it fails to boot something in the dalvik machine setting up boot it fails to register a method in an other file the full log found here:
https://hastebin.com/upeceyuhel.pl
I'm more of a kernel guy (pretty newish at it too ) so I have no idea how to fix this, so please chime in if you know something but ill ask for help in the building thread see if they can help. Just wanted to let you guys know some progress is being done on it. Im in classes so not much free time left over and with Oreo on the horizon for lineage, so this PA-CAF Nougat build feels a bit out of place especially since i stripped out a lot for it to build, I don't think that may affect the dalvik machine mostly ambient, double tap to wake, and a few customization features......
With all that said can I a show of hands (or thanks so the thread is kept clean) who is interested in this I have us996 so that will come first if I get it done (don't think it will be that hard as opposed to fixing the gestures and ambient displays stuffs) still no promises I'm used to building for myself with most the work is already done and me only adding a few things, but I wouldn't mind a challenge.

no I would work on it again but I've stepped back from compiling for a bit and it was also during the time oreo was on the horizon for the v20 so getting nougat AOSPA working felt like a waste of time
now pie is on the horizon and would like to see how it's going with PA-CAF on pie but lineage pie tree would need to become available for our device as idk how bring up to a new android version works
