What the android version influence on kernal sources - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

As Xiaomi has just released the kernal sources for mi a1 but sadly nougat kernal sources ... I just want to know what's new with the updated kernal? Eventually i think the first custom rom for Mi A1 would be based on Android 8.1. As far as i have seen many phones dont have latest android version kernal sources but still get the latest roms... Liked to a detailed explanation about it...
Also thanks to fransico , Android Authority and many more who have supported us on this ... Just hoping to be stable custom roms within weeks or so

it should be a major help nontheless! think about all those devices that have great stable android 8.1 custom roms and only marshmellow kernel sources available!
EDIT:// If you look through all the branches, there is not a single oreo specific kernal source, also very popular devices like kenzo with lollipop sources only.
These Mi A1 kernel sources should have everything devs need to build something nice.

this will also be a great help for the developer to get the best custom rom and kernels as we have the second latest Kernel source code.

Kernal Sources are like the source codes of the phone through which only it possible to develop our own flavor of roms

Kernel is the middle man between your software (andriod) and hardware (your phone in its physical form)

Kernels are the fruit of a corn.

[Q] Creating a custom ROM

Hello. I am interested in building my own ROM. I have some computer knowledge, but I want to know, what tools and files do I need for creating one. So maybe someone can guide me or point me to a tutorials. I basically just want to try some things.
Is there a way to brick my phone by using a custom ROM?
Also, what is android 2.3.5? Google's latest is Android 2.3.3 .
Android Latest stable release
Tablets: 3.2 (Honeycomb)
Phones: 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) / 25 July 2011; 38 days ago
Latest Android release is 2.3.5 for phones
good new, should be more like you.
Latest android for smartphones is 2.3.5.
Regarding advices to build a new rom, nothing better than to speak to those that already did and have the knowledge (stcokwell, DZO, FFranco, Knzo, etc)
Search the posts of each rom and speak with respective developers.
Good luck and I waiting for your rom to test it
I'm interested too, but it requires more knowledge about linux. Kernels and so on.
So i'm thinkin is better to build kernels, there is sources, there is websites with how to and so o.. rom is more complex.
I'm bringing this thread up now.
I am currently downloading CyanogenMod's source, because of what I've read android.git.kernel.org is down. My first idea was to do a proper scene port of the latest Android. But well, this has better documentation anyway. So, I haven't got the source yet to browse, but is there a way to make a general build and if I understand correctly, it creates me a system.img? How to make it flashable by recovery? And if it fails to start, can I still get to the recovery? And about kernel, this has to be modified too, right?
And for last, if anyone has a good Android source code browsing/modifying e-book/video/whatever, can I have it?
-e-
I found that CyanogenMod can automatically make a signed .zip and on normal Android AOSP I can make it with "make otapackage". Is that right?
Any good read?

Source code- ROM development

Hi everyone! I've been wondering if there will be ever a port of cm or any other aosp rom to our m9+. I think sense doesnt do this device justice.
I read in some other thread that this wasnt posible due to the fact that mediatek had not release the source code-, then i stumble on to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/orig-development/helio-x10-kernel-source-code-released-t3225886
I dont know if this has anything to do with our device. But it would be nice to have an aosp ROM.

But with this source code I would like prefer to have many features in the kernel development instead of aosp rom development.

Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge Exynos Kernel Source Code Is Out!

Hello guys just want some info.
I'm not an expert at software and customizations, but i want to ask you guys some more info about the source codes of Nougat for our Gs6/Gs6e.
So the source codes are released is it now possible to create custom roms like Reserrection Remix, LineAgeOs etc?
Or are those sources only for stock samsung roms? Because it wasnt possible to make custom roms ''AOSP ROMs" when the phones were released, and now samsung released the sources codes so its is possible again like the galaxy s5 to make awesome roms?
Zip file is 170mb.
Here is the link to the Nougat kernel sources codes: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=G920f Slow Download Speeds
SM-G920F - G920FXXU5EQAC Mega Download Link: SM-G920F_NN_Opensource.zip Fast Download Speeds
Let's hope we get badass roms
This is kernel source code, for good AOSP we need Exynos source code.
What can this kernel? or what they do?

The kernel source provided by Samsung is used for every custom kernel compatible with exynos 7420. With the Nougat version of the OS pack, developers can now build full-compatible Nougat kernels for S6 & S6 edge

ooh ok thank you
925T compatible?
This mean good pictures quality? Good camera? Or the kernel is different than the drivers?
No xD
The kernel is the road between the OS and the hardware, it will translate every informations sent by drivers (example: camera.open) to the dest. hardware.
Famous Exynos sources aren't there, that's only the kernel.
Samsung could release Exynos sources like Broadcom did, just we need a big amount of people and a petition.

Custom rom development request.

I have visited the official Honor club forums, many people have been asking for kernel source. So i have a question, that is "can't the developers extract the kernel from the stock rom?
I believe there is a process for that too.
Hence they can get the kernel source and start the development.
Hope to see some oreo Leneage os or rr os development for this device soon.
This phone has no doubt one of the best configuration..
kernel source for honor 9i is available.

Thank you so much, brother.
I am not much good at building roms from source code.
but i will try my best.
Lets see what happens, meanwhile i hope some developers may work on this and give us some custom rom.

some developers already knew about the source code of honor 9i but as Huawei didn't release kernel source of honor 9i on Github but released as files so I think developers are not interested.

Lack of custom kernels.

Hi,
How come there's such a lack of custom kernels for our S10+ devices?
I remember the S7/S8 having some atleast.
Has it become increasingly difficult or have our usual developers left the Samsung ecosystem?
Samsung isn't known for being developer friendly. I think Samsung needs to release their kernel source code for the S10+ before devs can create custom kernels. Maybe they haven't done that yet.
Kernel source has been released already . With the us version being locked and the EU version not having the same proc and being known to be hard to dev for . It could be awhile

But can we patch stock kernel with some mods like usb-drive and cdrom-drive emulation
I knew that these 2 libs must be added to patch but how safely i can patch it? Can you or somebody help?
