Hi guys..
I did a compare on the source code from the code Samsung released (so eclair) and the vanilla linux kernel..

Anyone who wants to use this information to do something good with, is more than welcome to.

Can I use the stock kernel (Froyo) and the binary drivers that comes with the stock and use the aosp source code and build higher version of the platform (gingerbread, icecream ) as and when they are available?
Why do the kernel needs a change when upgrading from one version of android to another, the hardware doesn't change anyway.

OKAY LET´S GO MAN
you can´t port a kernel from froyo to ginger for example because the kernels are created with diferents codes...
if you want to create a custom kernel from a stock kernel you needs the "privative drivers" and the source code for to do this... gingerbread has another source code than ice cream (still closed source)
the same thing happens with AOSP (cyanogenmod for example) but they uses a pure LINUX code for to create a custom kernel..
AOSP also needs the source code of the android version for that are creating the kernel.
and the kernel need to be changued between android versions because are not compiled of equal way.
ext4, task admin... and H/W don´t works equal between android versions
Good Evening,
I am modifing the kernel source (the wifi part specifically) working on a CM7 system and I want to migrate to CM9 because of the improvements on the system and kernel.
I know I can get the CM9 source code from CyanogenMod Github repo, but the kernel comes pre-compiled. So my question is:
Where I can find the "official" kernel source code that comes with CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1?
KalimochoAz's samsung-kernel-crespo repo has been last updated 2 months ago, so I guess the kernel updates must be somewhere else.
Thank you in advance,
Renzo
I've been looking at the B2G project, and it looks very very nice. Has anyone thought about building a version then releasing it? There are kernel sources for crespo (Nexus S) on their github at http://github.com/andreasgal/B2G
It uses a slightly modified version of the Android kernel. I would love to see some pre-compiled builds released for Nexus S. Could someone please release a build?
all i see is sgs2 source. i have no idea where you got that there is ns source there
Mozilla seem to be seriously working on it
2 engineers on B2G team are working on it:

Hello XDA Developers
I Wanted To Ask about something confusing
Now To Build An AOSP ROM You Need The Source Code OF The Phone
What I Wanted To Know What's The Difference Between Device Tree And Vendor
And Last Thing If My Phone Running Kernel 3.4.67 Can I Change It To Be Like 3.10.72 (If There's A Source Available )
Sorry For Asking But I Haven't Seen How The Source Looks Like And Thanks In Advance :good::laugh:
I got the source code form opensource.samsung.com and I compiled the kernel successfully.
I want to know that how do I use the kernel to build AOSP for my phone?
And the samsung kernel is based on Android 6.0.1, can I port the latest Android version to my phone?
