Slight bit of English might not hurt?

What is this?

What's there not to understand? Pandaboard is one of the most popular OMAP4 targets.

Linaro is an Alliance of ARM TI IBM Samsung Freescale ST-Ericsson . It's working for Open source Software for Linux on the ARM Cortex-A family of processors , Android on ARM, Unbuntu on ARM , linux/anrdoid toolchains and some libs .
They release their own source distribution Optimizated for Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 , and image distribution for PandaBoard(TI OMAP4430) , Origen(Samsung Exynos4210) , Snowball(ST-Ericsson's Nova A9500) , QuickStart(Freescale i.MX53) .
In one word , linaro android distribution will be better for A8 and A9 processors , much more Optimization .

This looks interesting, how do I test it out?

I just took a look at this and I don't get it sort off. It seems to be to be a version of android for like the PandaBoard.etc. However it doesn't come in the form of a zip but an img. I reckon with a bit of porting we could get it to work somehow but would it be worth it?

They have a git repo to pull the sources from, so devs could base roms off of this instead of AOSP. I don't see the advantage, but it's another option I guess~

You can get source as same as CM or AOSP.
repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git -b linaro-android-11.12-release
repo sync
Linaro Android distribution will be better for A8 and A9 processors , much more Optimization .
And , you can use gcc4.5.4(linaro version) or gcc4.6.3(linaro version) to compile this Andoid distribution but CM or AOSP only for gcc4.4.3 from google.

It's a full optimization version for A8/A9 platform. It's all.

Anyway, linaro gcc is the best compiler for arm.
It can be use to compile android kernel , ever for CM or AOSP .

[INFO][KERNEL]Android 4.0.3, 3.0 Kernel Binaries Released for the Nexus S

straight from Jean-Baptiste Queru.. https://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/ff4e97808535b396?pli=1
this includes binaries for the Xoom tablet and the Galaxy Nexus
I've just pushed the kernel sources that match the crespo, stingray
and tuna kernel binaries for 4.0.3.
crespo: android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1 in kernel/samsung
stingray: android-tegra-moto-2.6.39 in kernel/tegra
tuna: android-omap-tuna-3.0 in kernel/omap
As a note, for the curious, we've included the list of kernel
repositories at the bottom of
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html so that it's easier
to get to them. They're also in the AOSP mirror manifest.
This completes the puzzle. Happy kerneling (?).

Is it save to flash it, if I am on CM9 Kang? Will I loose root in this case?

He posted the code for the kernel you can't flash it but you can decompile it and tweak that ***** then package it for the masses to flash

4.1.2 and custom roms/kernels

I have had a quick look around and haven't seen a thread about this, but if I am wrong someone please direct me.
With 4.1.2 being out for people running stock, what does this leave custom roms with? I'm running paranoid android atm, so am I likely to see the improvements soon? Also I read that the binaries from 4.1.2 can be flashed on their own, will this give any benefit or am I better just leaving it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Afaik the 4.1.2 kernel source isn't out yet, so kernel devs can't support it.

kernel source for 4.1.2 has been out for a bit, and there are already many custom kernels. where have you been?

That's the Atrix 2 (OMAP), and that's Ubuntu for Android rather than Ubuntu Phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android, as I understand it, is basically the Webtop that we've already had for some time now and uses the kernel already on the device, whereas Ubuntu Phone OS is a complete replacement for Android, but the details themselves are a bit sketchy, like what display server they're using, what kernel is supported. Wouldn't it be both ironic and disappointing if it required an ICS/JB kernel, especially since we still have a Froyo/GB kernel.

yea because it's not really a proof that it is working for our tegra phone. it's a lot different so u have to find a phone that has the same specs this but there is no one.
let's see if it will work for us that would be awesome

Yeah, he identifies the device about 10 seconds or so in, but admittedly if he didn't the only other way to identify it would be process of elimination, looking at the logo's and figuring it out that way.

Guys, there's a post of saiftheboss7 that he mention that he made a request to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's Guru. You can upvote that request so that the Ubuntu Kahuna sees that us Atrix users want the Ubuntu OS for our beloved A4G. I can't post links right now, too noob for the forum, but you can check it out in this section.
Upvote my friends, upvote and we can have a better functional phone!!!!!:good:

please don't force the devs to support our phone. just let the image release si the devs can see the source code and the system. After that we can ask to import the os to the atrix if it's possible.
Just be patience.

Do you have, or may be adapted upload released today? ubuntu can only hope that this is no longer

It's released and port lessons are there xD Let's hope it works on atrix

I don't think this will be fully working without an ICS Kernel.

I think an effort like this worths a try, since we can aways update the userspace ubuntu packages, keeping the old kernel. I don't see why the old gingerbread kernel wouldn't work.

[REQUEST] N8000 Kernel Source

I am about to build a kernel for N8000. But my problem is I can not download from samsung open source site (Very Slow Connection).
Can someone please mirror the update7(MD1) for me on a fast server like dev-host, android file host, mediafire or etc...?
Here's the Samsung open source site:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-N8000
Thanks in advance.

You may use my GitHub repository, which has a branch "merge-to-ss-jb" that is just the vanilla Samsung kernel, backed by the complete Linux tree.
Also, if you're interested in a complete, up-to-date tree (and what I'm running on my own GNote) you may browse my "kernel-forward" branch.

Thanks.
I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. Merge-to-ss-jb is the latest source (MD1)? Is it a good to go for a kernel to be based upon?
2. Is it alright with you that I base my kernel on your own kernel?
I appreciate it if you can help me with some kernel stuff as I am new to this.

Yeah, it's essentially the official Linux kernel source up to version 3.0.31, overlaid with a cleaned-up version of the 1st Samsung JB kernel release, then each subsequent Samsung Open-Source Release (latest is "#7") is overlaid on top of that. If you build the HEAD of that branch, you'll have a vanilla Samsung kernel as of XXMCD1.

Of course! The entire Linux kernel is built upon Public collaboration; we all share from each other. My kernel has a few selected bits here and there from diverse places like CyanogenMod, Francisco Franco, Xstacy, the upstream kernel, Qualcomm, NVidia ...
I used to post my built kernel up in the ROM threads I used to use on my GNote, but someone complained and I don't really feel like being bothered with my own thread (don't have time for the inevitable newbie SPAM) so until if/when I do go "public" with it, the "kernel-forward" branch on GitHub is the best place to get what I'm running now.

Heard that the published sources have different wi-fi drivers than preinstalled stock kernel.
This is the main reason of allshare cast not working with custom kernels (on the contrary, some s3 custom kernels DO SUPPORT allshare cast), even if status=official and flash counter=0.
Anyone can confirm?
Anyone has the proper ones or know which one (i.e. from a different samsung device) to use?
