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?

Well, I downloaded the source kernel and I need a clear way how to compile it smoothly. I wonder whether I can flash the kernel via Odin or CWM to a rooted stock I9300XXUGMJ9 firmware or not. Will it work? Any walkthroughs?

I know this is not a Q&A thread but could I ask? Does this release of source kernel code mean, that Samsung finally released the source code for the dreaded mali GPU driver and the FM radio blobs that we so need to make CM roms fully functional and smooth?

No. Read following for explanation.
dhiru1602 said:
Blobs are userspace components which correspond to the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). It is this layer which is responsible for communication between the kernel and the operating system. GPU kernel driver is opensource, but the GPU HAL is closed source. This is the case with all the devices, but on our device, much more components of the HAL are closed source like FIMC, FIMG, HWJPEG, TVOUT. Samsung doesn't release the source code for this components because it doesn't necessarily have to. Without the source code, we are forced to use the compiled binary which may or may not work properly. Since we are left without options, we often mess around with the Android framework, making dirty hacks to get them to work. We will not be able to futureproof our device with newer versions of Android unless we have the source code since making edits on compiled binaries is not possible and hence we have to wait for official releases so that we could get newer binaries (blobs). Here is the list of all the blobs that we use on our device. Having proprietary code is not uncommon, but Samsung doesn't release the source code for essential parts of the OS like Graphics subsystem, OMX and DSP, which makes things more complex provided there is no documentation for the SOC, nor they are wiling to help developers.

They mean as much as every other kernel source release. We still dont have everything we need to make AOSP work properly, but we can now get custom kernels for 4.3 touchwiz roms.

These include the latest mali r3p2. So we have now userspace binaries + kernel source drivers. It makes this possible, which is awesome. It's coming for all exynos4 devices.
The kernel has been open sourced, by CM, as any OEM should do when device hits retail. That means a great step for us, ROM developers. We may discuss findings for reference on future development here.
Link to source code: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974
By the way, it's not only useful for the OnePlus One, seems that it's interesting for Find 7 as they borrow some code from it, worthy to read.

I'm a bit confused.
So far, I know of two kernel sources: This one and AOSP-compatible sources released by OnePlus directly (OnePlusTech on github, can't post links at my postcount).
However, there are already custom kernels that claim to only work with CM11S, and others that claim to only work with CM11. I assume the latter are based on this source. So what's the current (official) branch for CM11S?

So kernels that don't work with the stock ROM are just based on a newer revision of the kernel in CM's repo, and older revisions in there would boot CM11S just fine?

The kernel source has been imported to my Github and I have also set-up Continuous Integration on it through Travis-CI, build progress can be tracked here.
I would like to thank @akhilnarang whose ThugLife scripts have been used to compile the kernel inside the CI. I couldn't include your name in the commits, but the original copyright notice has been retained in the spirit of open source.
I have been informed through Google Plus that @DHARMESH17 has been in the hospital for some time now, and @faddat is currently in China, so the project has been put on hold for now.
Work will begin tomorrow

Kernel source? Of course not, I believe it's specific to the first gen sprout devices, as I found out earlier this day. I guess I'll have to end up messing with the device tree and see if I can sneak in a prebuilt kernel somewhere inside. One query though, since you've made an appearance, if I use a custombootimg.mk for userdebug builds, will it prepare the boot.img as per the recipe given there? Because as TWRP maintainer for the htc pico, I have to force it to use LZMA compression for the ramdisk to make it fit, and for that I set a ifeq into the boardconfig to use the customrecoveryimg.mk I put in the device tree, if build variant is eng. If it will work on boot.img and userdebug, then I may very well be able to fool CM's build system and use a prebuilt kernel.
If I'm not making myself clear, please do hop on to #team-redux on freenode and we'll discuss it at length and hopefully arrive at a solution

AOSP based ROMs are a different story, CyanogenMod raises this exception when you try using a prebuilt kernel :
```
Using a prebuilt kernel is deprecated and not allowed
Please add your kernel source to your BoardConfig.mk

Or something to that tune, been months since I ran a compile for any ROM(Server's late in coming, @faddat is a busy man )

I realised that earlier today, so I rebased my updates onto the snapshot trees and pushed it to my Github. The local manifest has been updated with the new branch as well.
About the prebuilt kernel, you use PRODUCT_COPY_FILES for copying the zImage ?? @thewisenerd once mentioned its a terribly ****ty idea, but you're more updated regarding building and ****, so I'll take your word. Just a quick query, what'll be the out location of the kernel? ($OUT/kernel ??)

You don't have to delete the thread. It can be used for discussions. You can upload your kernel whenever you feel its appropriate to release your source code.
On a more helpful note: I can't say much without seeing the source code, but if you have ported the kernel drivers as well from shield, you can try using the blobs from Shield itself. You'll probably need to use blobs that match the version of the kernel you are trying to port.
so does that mean that there is a chance for cm12+?

Blobs are heavily linked to the kernel drivers. Without even knowing what kernel you have used as a source for the port (the one for Shield), how can we randomly test blobs and somehow magically fix this? I really don't want to piss you guys off, but the reason why you can do the work you do is because the Linux kernel is open source. And it's stayed that way because people have followed the GPL (with only a few exceptions like Xiaomi). I do not understand why you don't want to release the source code. Nobody is trying or will try to steal your work and claim credits. In the end we all want the same thing - stable Android 5/6/7 on the Mi Pad. Let other people help too.

Not the point. The shield developers will not be able to help us. Things will become very easy if this shield kernel port works. We will probably be able to use the newer blobs meant for the Shield, which makes development very easy, if this becomes bootable/stable. I really hope the OP manages to get it working. We either need newer blobs from Xiaomi or we need to write wrappers to use the current kitkat blobs (not easy, since Nvidia documentation is nowhere near as detailed as say, Qualcomm) or we need to get this port working well, which would enable us to use most of the blobs from the Shield (provided Xiaomi hasn't gone out of their way to screw with their blobs). The first two ways are practically impossible, which leads me to rest all my hope on this port. Unfortunately without the source code, we will just have to be silent spectators, waiting for some news.

All the necessary blobs were taken from Shield. More no such files, which could be replaced.
Hello.
I want to compile and flash a custom fork of the Nothing OS. My issue is that I have never compiled and built an android OS before. I have built other OSes before for other devices but that was with instructions. I'd like to understand how I can build the Nothing OS and how I might find out that in the future for other android forks.
I know I need the source code from here and I know I need the devicetree from here. But I do not know how.
Thank you!

You can't build a closed source rom like NothingOS, they only provided device tree and kernel sources for custom rom development and custom kernel building.

Alright, but, if I were to compile and flash the kernel sources, what would be missing from the system that is proprietary? Would I even have a UI or would it only be the core kernel?
You answered your question, if you build the kernel source you'll get only the kernel which doesn't have any ui itself, you still missing everything from the rom.

Alright, so basically, this is only a fork from the original android repo, with changes so it runs on the nothing phone, and nothing more?
The kernel just allows the operating system to talk to the hardware so you still need an operating system. Your best bet is to grab a custom ROM if you really want to build from scratch or you can create a magisk mod that customizes the stock ROM.

Gotta have it working on the OnePlus Nord N200 and I'd be interested
