Funny, I'd reloaded that page not 10 minutes ago and the link wasn't there yet.
Looks like it's a patch against the Tegra 2/harmony Android kernel git repository.
The patch file is only 3 megs so shouldn't be too hard to pick through and figure out what's different.
EDIT: lots of typos in patch, can tell a good amount of this code was probably written by Malata engineers, not Tap N Tap.
I see what looks like touchscreen driver code for the "ak4183", though I thought our touchscreen sensor was a custom Atmel hooked up to three capacitive sensors (?). In fact, I think the ak4183 is for a resistive touchscreen, i.e. some of the other Malata models, not in our G Tablet - good news for our friends with ZPads. I also see a touchscreen driver for the at168, which I believe is the Atmel master chip for our capacitive touchscreens.
Also plenty of stuff related to sleeping and waking. I'm sure the CPU governor stuff is in there somewhere. Hopefully we can fix the lag-on-wake issue properly. I'll try compiling everything this weekend sometime.
Also - I see a bunch of places where the 1024x600 resolution is hardcoded into the at168 touchscreen driver, so it looks like enabling higher resolution with alternative LCDs as several people are doing currently might require some hacking of that touchscreen driver.

Release the Hounds!!!!

i don't know why but i D/L'd it for the hell of it and took a peek. . . lol i'm so glad there are people like Gojimi, Roebeet, Rothnic, Bekit, etc (sorry if i missed anyone) cuz code... well to put it simply is a whole other language... which i have no understanding of..lol REALLY looking forward to what comes of this after christmas.... yay big kids get cool presents too

Word, pershoot. Glad to have you here from the N1 forums. For those who don't know, pershoot has built one of the Nexus One kernels with lots of goodies in it.
The down side is that you will dwarf my lame skills and by the time I get anything useful built you'll have left me in the dust.
Nonetheless, I'm pulling the git repo right now myself, and will at least see if I can get a successful cross-compile this weekend to run on my own tablet to verify that at baseline, it works as well as their pre-built kernels. However, pershoot is likely to have much more success than me at hacking useful stuff into the kernel.

Now that we have the kernel source, how do we get the Ubuntu team to make us a version of Ubuntu?

This is where I'm going to have to take a backseat and watch pros like pershoot work their magic. I can get about as far as compiling my own kernel, but that's about it unfortunately.

Well, I'm no pershoot, but I did manage to get a (reasonably) clean build of the kernel built. Those touchscreen drivers throw crazy warnings when they are building. Doesn't inspire tons of confidence. Anyway, my first Android kernel compile. Next step, I'll figure out how to re-pack it into a boot.img and see if it works. I'm an old hat with Linux stuff, but definitely new to Android system internals, so this is slow slogging for me.

EDIT:
Ok, so my enthusiasm is jumping the gun abit.
With the kernel source we can now make VERY custom roms, before we were primarily just playing with APK's and resource files, no real dramatic changes to the phone.
Now with the kernel source we can actually go in to the OS and fix issues, like that dang'd location bug. Also, there are debugging features that were left turned on in the code when the phone shipped, this slows the phone down, hopefulyl when we get a good soild rom we can turn them off and see a performance gain. We will also be able to get a fully functional 2.1 update, loads of other things as well. Way to much for me to sit here and hammer out on the keyboard. Possibilities are now almost limit less...other than stuff that our hardware is limtited to....

Once you have the kernel source, you can do anything you wish: optimize the kernel, add new support for filesystems, add new modules, completely add a newer build of linux...and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

message too short
Anyone notice the user name in the tarball? Rexlin Maybe we can contact him and see what changed.
FINALLY! Can't wait to get a fully functional/customized 2.1 ROM eventually
not sure if anybody else noticed but ...
The files in
include/config/mach/ and below are all zero size not sure if this is an issue yet but....
edit -
just checked, there are 505 files that have a size of zero, those of you with Linux (or linux tools) can type
Code:
find . -size 0c
or
find . -size 0c | more
to see which files have a zero length. The following "hero" files are zero length
Code:
./include/config/mach/heroc.h
./include/config/mach/hero.h
./include/config/mach/heroct.h
./include/config/mach/hero/espresso.h
-TL
doesn't this mean that a rom can be released with a modified kernel that allows changing the clock speed beyond 528mhz?

[DEV] Tiamat Kernel

Anyone have an idea how hard it would be to port this tiamat kernel over to Transformer? built for XOOM and others, and the XOOM hardware is near identical right? Just a thought, this thread has the info and link to the github of the sources.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
I posted in the thread if he could develop for us and everyone yelled me. I thought it'd be easy too. But I agree. I hope someone could port this because this kernel seems amazing.

Yeah, I was going to PM him, but he has PMs disabled, and I wasn't going to post in the thread because people hate that, me included. There is nothing more annoying in a thread when someone else comes in asking to do this all to their device. While this is a situation where at least the device internals are pretty similar, still not a polite thing to do. The github of his work should be enough for any dev here to port the work over pretty easily I'd think. We'll see though.

The hardware is fairly similar but they are based on two completely different OEM boards. Transformer=Ventana, Xoom=Stingray.
The Tiamat kernel modificationc could possibly be ported to the transformer kernel, but it isn't as straight forward and simple as you might think.
definitely would be sweet.. dual 1.6GHZ sounds pretty good
Hopefully we get some support soon.. I wish I knew how to do this stuff.
I'm not sure what it is but the forum for the Eee pad seem a bit dead tbh, is it just because of limited stock?

I miss IRC.
And I hope we get some development on this soon. It'd be a shame to see people sticking to products like the xoom, just because the TF is so limited in its availability. We need availability to pick up for this product.

Its not limited in just availability, its limited in 'mod-ability'.. It could just be the product maker following the guidelines for that particular board and making use of 'security' features specific to that board, but its still a pain in the ass. Work was put in to make the end user work harder to be able to customize.
I have the gtab (harmony), Xoom (stingray) , and eeepad (ventana). The gtab is the fastest, the easiest to mod, the hardest to brick.. and the heaviest with the worst screen. The eeepad is the slowest, the worst to mod and the lightest.. guess what .. best screen.
I am typing this on the gtab tho.. and I just got the eeepad today. It'll probably collect dust. Tried to play south park (originally avi/xvid/mp3) converted/muxed to mp4/xvid/aac and the Asus would play it... but volume control was not working it was full blast or mute. My gtab plays xvid avi/mp3 without a hiccup. Any other format I can throw at it too (sans multichannel audio and high profile h264). Its really surprising how far this has come. Since its oc'd every which way, it makes everything else seem very very slow. Only thing I haven't been able to get oc'd yet is emc.
Getting the ability and the clocks setup for the Asus was a breeze. Configuring/adjusting /making sense of all the bits and pieces of dvfs was not. speedo_id is a new one to me, and that seems to be the value that is read from fuse data and locks down max clocks
You guys got Blades and Netarchy on the case. You don't need me lol. I would LOVE to have Netarchy working on stingray.

What is invovled in making a custom ROM? just wondering, like how hard is it?

Could I just modify stock rom, create it into nvflashable version or zip for cwm and say it's a custom rom?for e.g overclock, UI changes etc
if it was easy everyone would do it lol
It takes a lot of knowledge and skill, it may not be difficult in the way that roofing a house is difficult, more like difficult in the way that doing a millionaire's taxes is difficult (i suspect, only just now starting to learn c++) more brain work, very little physical labor (besides extended times in hunched position with cramping hands behind a screen with your eyes crossing and head aching lol)

Technically yes but no one would download it. If all you do is UI then its a theme not a rom and the OC is done in the kernel which is very difficult to edit. Custom roms are about making something new. One has to have different features than another for it to be successful. You need to invent new things and add personal tweaks for it truly to be "Your" Custom rom
I would say it ranges from easy-peasy, lemon-breezy to extremely difficult that only rocket scientists and jedi knights should attempt it.
For what most people want to do, it's pretty easy. I think the hard part for the average person is having the mindset to take things apart to see how it works. If you just want to put your name on a rom, it will be extremely difficult because the goal will get in the way of your curiosity. If you get freaky with the command line, your curiosity and imagination will lead you down the rabbit hole. Of course, the path to the bottom of the rabbit hole is lined with bootloops and bricks, but you can gloss over that detail until after you set the bridge on fire and jump off the middle.
Regarding what makes a rom, a custom rom, I would think that you would need to have source code somewhere. If you are taking someone else's rom and adding someone else's kernel and adding someone else's themes, then that is just a modification. You didn't make (-j16) anything, but instead just added some things together that were all ready made. If you patch the kernel or compile the rom from your own source, then that's a custom rom.

You need a working knowledge of java (in my java textbook it says android is based on java and a skilled java programmer has little trouble programming for android), you need the various sdk's, for java, android, you need an android virtual environment on your pc to test your android apps and roms out..you want to start with theming, making simple apps..also need to know how to compile kernels which probably means you need a working knowledge of linux programming..starting from ground up, you are many months of study away from having the knowledge to build a rom imo.

I have actually been wanting to port B2G to the g1 for a while now (I've been building the source for the emulator since it was very early on at andreasgal's github).
I'm building it now and will try to see why it's not booting, if I have a little extra free time, after I finish my next LMCFroyo release.
There's really no reason to try polishing anything before now and the actual release; there will probably be many large changes over the course of the year. However, there's no reason to not toy around with this right now in order to see what changes will need to be made in the gecko/gaia source.

The touch axis is no longer flipped, but the touch zones are still messed up, so tapping is off by about half an inch.
If you run into the same problem I did with not being able to get past the intro screen, reboot into CWM, adb pull /data/ubuntu/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/com.canonical.unity.AccountsService.xml, find the line that says
Code:
<property name="demo-edges" type="b" access="readwrite">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.Accounts.DefaultValue" value="true"/>
</property>
and change the value to "false", push the file back to the same location, and reboot.
I'm still working on getting touch fixed properly, also accelerometer as that doesn't work either.

good luck sir. I am also eager to try this out
Currently stuck on a error, anyone who knows please help out.

Wow! Cool. I almost got excited, then realized that it said "HD" not "HD+". Oh well. Sorry, I don't actually have anything valuable to add. Just that it's exciting to see some more ROMS popping up for this (these) device(s). Good luck, I hope you get it running, and that it inspires somebody to do the same for HD+.
you need wpa_supplicant_8_ti

I too have nothing valuable to contribute but would like to see continued progress on this and hopefully also a build for the HD+. :victory:
My system began crashing today, I'm not sure why. Something to do with xorg but it locks up before I can fully figure out the issue. I'll try cleaning the dust from the fan inside my laptop to see if it could be a overheating issue.

Should be straightforward once I get a build up for the HD. Maybe a while because my current laptop decided to act up on me at the worse possible time.

You're in good company, at least. (FWIW)... KillerSloth has horrible troubles with his laptop too. The laptops are possibly rebelling against compiling OS's for different platforms? Who knows what's going on?
I can't wait to try this!
From my experience, most laptops cooling systems are not designed to cool the cpu adequately when doing things that stress the cpu as severely as compiling roms. But my suggestion would be to clean out your fan and heatsink as best you can. If your technically inclined and can find a good tutorial on taking your laptop apart I'd do it to really clean it out. You'll be amazed by how much dust can get up in there. You could also clean wipe the laptop and reinstall Linux fresh which could solve your xorg problems.

Those xorg issues are incompatible driver issues I believe.
Reinstall clean and setup build environment. Try to refrain from recommended updates after you get everything working right lol
Not sure if I ever sent the PM, but you can add that wpa supplicant tree to your manifest for simplicity.
Any other build errors/issues I can probably walk you through too, I've seen them all lol especially with these nooks now

If you can get this booting I'd be happy to know what you did. All of my build attempts since they did the flip have been unsuccessful and I do not apparently have the know-how to get it working (it boot loops on my HD+ and Nook Tablet, both of which seem to actually turn off briefly so I can't pull any logs). Good luck and hopefully your computer gets going again
I really wish there was more work on this, would be fantastic to check out Ubuntu on a tablet without having to make another purchase.
I need help

I am working on porting Ubuntu touch to the Nook HD, and it's going rather well, but the guide says i need to write UCM mixer files, and I have no idea what to do. Can anybody help?

Maybe in other threads who speaks about porting to UT maybe healp you if you ask them
I have one Nook HD, I could be your tester if you want :laugh:

Yeah, I couldn't help with it since I only really know simple web development stuff (have a few certs, still in school)...but if there is anything we could do to help I'm sure alot of interest would be found.

I honestly had never even heard of UCM mixer files, and I still don't fully understand them. I have my own Nook HD to test on, and when I get it booted, I'll post it. Where should I look?

Unless you already figured out how to get it to boot I would focus on that issue first - that of booting - though I suppose you could build for the non-flipped old builds of touch but that won't do much good really. The audio fix is minor compared.
When the ubuntu images were flipped the ability to get a working bootable build became more difficult. It should be rather easy for someone who knows what they are doing with ubuntu touch and possibly a rom dev or similiar but otherwise its quite confusing. The guide says they will update it to explain the needed info and some stuff is explained somewhat at the top.
I've made a lot of boot.img tests which did nothing and then looked into lxc (found inside the touch zip) is very important to booting but haven't felt like doing anything else. Lxc and boot.img need to be repackaged with additional device specific code at this point in time from what I understand... in order to get it to boot.
