[Q] Where to get the ICE Kernel and Android Source Code For P6800

Hi ALL:
I want building the ICE Source For My P6800, but I don't know where get it.
Thanks.
There's no ICS kernel or source available yet. You can try working from the current HC kernel source available on Samsungs open source portal though.
The rest of the Android source code you can get from AOSP or another open source project.

I'm not trying to be rude, but how is it possible that you know what to do with kernel source but you don't know how to use google search?
https://opensource.samsung.com < will this work for you or do you need a direct link to the file? In that case, do you need the P6800 or P6810 kernel source?
I downloaded P6800's code from opensource.samsung.com, and compiled the kernel, but I try to get the honeycomb 3.2 source from source.android.com, got same error.
repo init -u https ://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android_3.2.4_r1
error: revision android_3.2.4_r1 in manifests not found.
There is P6800 Readme.
GT-P6800_CHN_Platform.txt
How to build platform
1. Get android open source.

Kernel modules for Atheros AR9271 based usb wifi dongles(now in Hundsbuah's kernel)

UPDATE: These modules were added by request to Hundsbuah's kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246062
______________________________________________________________________
I was not going to post this because it has limited use for most TF300T owners but it can't hurt so here it is. The attached file(ath9k.tar.gz) contains kernel modules needed to get AR9271 based usb wifi dongles working on the latest stock TF300T kernel(Asus build 10.4.2.20, kernel version 3.1.10). I have tested the modules with this dongle: TP-Link TL-WN722N.
Uncompress the file and you will get an ath9k directory. Inside are the modules, 2 scripts for easy loading and unloading of the modules, and iwconfig compiled for Android. Getting the dongle working goes something like this:
Su to root. Copy htc_9271.hw to /system/etc/firmware. Run the scripts start_ath9k and stop_ath9k to load and unload the modules.
After the modules are loaded, insert the dongle into the keyboard full size usb port and run ifconfig and iwconfig as needed. If wlan0(default android wifi) is on then iwconfig will show the dongle as wlan1.
Note: I did not post this on the Dev forum because I did not develop these modules...I only changed a few lines in 2 modules before compiling them.

Not very likely...you would need to get your kernel source, add ath9k driver support to the kernel config, then fix any compile errors.

You need the kernel source for your tablet and a way to root your tablet. I did a cursory Google search for the kernel source for your tablet and I can't find it. If you can get the kernel source code for your tablet then it might be possible to compile ath9k modules. If you can't root that tablet then kernel modules won't be useful because there would be no way to load them.

You need the kernel source code from the tablet manufacturer.

I had to comment out a few lines of code in 2 modules to get mine to compile. On the TF300T, it has to do with LED code not present in the stock kernel that is referred to in 2 of the modules. If you use my modules on the TF300T, you will get no LED blinking on the WIFI stick when data is transmitted or received.
EDIT: Newegg has an Atheros AR9271 USB stick for $9.99 with a cradle.

HELP !!!
Could really use some help. For the life of me I can't compile a kernel module driver ath9k for my USB wireless adapter TL-WN722N. So it can be used by insmod on my rooted Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110 on Kernel 3.0.31 Build BMC9 running android 4.1.2. The source code is available at opensource.samsung. and is listed as the GT-N5110 NA (north america) model. If some one could help me please? I would be forever in your debt... :good:

[Q] Building CM9 for U8800

Hey everyone.
I have downloaded CM9 source to build for our phone.
I have a problem: Since I have not built anything from source, I don't where to get the proprietary drivers for our phone.
I am guessing I would need dzo's ICS drivers, but I don't know where to get them from.
Can anyone tell me the URL of the driver for dzo's ICS and what command I need to enter in the terminal to download the drivers to the source.
Thanks a lot guys.
You can look at dzo's github. But it isn't enough for build CM9 so I'm building CM9 device and vendor tree for CM9.
You can look at my github.

[Q] searching for cm-10.1 source for Ideos X5

Hi
I have successfully upgraded my Ideos X5 U8800 to 2.3.5 official Gingerbread, rooted it, and then repartitioned it using Blepart recovery. Subsequently I have checked out cm11 source, including Blefish repositories/code for the U8800 (thanks for good work, by the way!), compiled/built and installed a ROM. This was my first build.
OK. Good so far. Only I am looking to build cm10.1 because my goal is to eventually get this handset running Ubuntu Touch. Therefore, the next step is to get it running on cm10.1.
My problem is that I cannot find the source I need. I have tried to set up a fresh source tree and check out cm10.1 source combined with Blefish's source by specifying branch cm10.1 for the latter, using the files I used in .repo/local_manifests to get the cm11 device source etc. from Blefish. However, something seems to be missing as the lunch command fails and compilation aborts. Also, I can see that development has been discontinued on this branch for the U8800.
Any suggestions?
The cm-10.1 branch is deprecated, and I am not planning to update it as cm-11.0 is better in any way.
Is the Ubuntu Touch source code only based on cm-10.1 code though? Maybe you could have success using the cm-11.0 code as it is right now? I am not familiar to how Ubuntu uses the lunch commands, it might be different than Android's default.

Thanks for the quick response!
The Ubuntu Touch guide specifically states cm-10.1, but I will sign up with their forums and check whether I can use cm-11.
The following passage from the Ubuntu Touch Porting Guide gives the impression I might be able to base my work on cm-11? Would you agree?
"For quick reference, these are the current components used from Android:
Linux Kernel (stock Android kernel provided by the vendor, with a few changes to support some extra features needed by Ubuntu, such as Apparmor)
OpenGL ES2.0 HAL and drivers
Media (stagefright) HAL, to re-use the hardware video decoders
RILD for modem support
As Ubuntu is running as the main host on top of an Android kernel and the communication between the Android services and HAL happens via Binder, Sockets and libhybris. "
I am hoping this could work, as it would be a tremendous help, now that I have a running ROM built on 20 May with your source tree for the device specific code etc. which works like a charm! :good:
Best regards,
aribk

I think the source was released, or close enough source was released can't remember the exact wording, source isn't on a github, it would be on their open source download site.
ZTE KIS 3 Kernel
ZTE KIS 3 Kernel is available.
It works for Open C, too.
I cant post the link because I'm new here but Google is your friend.
