[Q] Kernel Source - G Tablet General

Everyone
I see a number of posts saying something similar to
"this will be fixed when we get kernel source"
But the source is linked on main support page at
http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/gTablet-TapUI-1.1-Kernel-Patch.zip
Surely I cant be the person who found this? Maybe its not the actual kernel source?
Anyone?

has been out for a week, there are kernels already compiled...read a little bit more RAWRAWRAWR Happy new year

Kernel source was release december 24th. The posts you saw were probably all older.
We've already fixed several critical bugs and enabled a bunch of new features in the kernel. Vegan beta 5 is now available with a kernel with the lag on wake issue fixed, working sd mounting, cifs/samba share, NTFS support in the kernel.

Has anybody seen a OC'ed Kernel Yet!

So loving ICS even the Stock form Asus seems to be very smooth and always easy to remove crapware. But I am missing my overclocked CPU. Quad scores are way down(Yeah, Yeah, I know not necessarily a sing of a slow down). Has anybody seen anywhere, or does anybody know where there might be a new ICS Kernel in the works for ICS on our TF101's?
I think this requires the source for the device, and I don't believe that has been released yet.

You are correct. Asus must release the source code before a dev can work on overclocking. I read somewhere that Asus must release the source code within two weeks of the update and who knows how long it will take a dev to get everything working properly. Hopefully it will come soon though. I miss my overclocked cpu too.

Thanks to both of you. I do recall hearing about how long a company had to release source code, I thought it was 30 days. Regardless, there are some great dev's that hang around the TF101 XDA forum so when they get it, I'm betting it won't be long.
I hope to one soon.
Yeah, I really want to see one soon. Right now I'm with Android Rev. 3.0 and it's kinda of the same thing as Stock ICS but it would be awesome if it had some OC Kernel. Guess we'll have to wait.
ASUS is known for bad timing on releasing kernel sources. Should get a thread up to tweet @ASUS / facebook page and get them to release the kernel sources ASAP!
Google should have made the license require 72hour release of source, or face the wrath of all the internets

[ROM]Kuroikaze CM10 Discontinued See other ROM threads here

For those who are interested in CM10 for our Thrives, but can't / won't / don't want to build along with us, I will be posting occasional builds here for people to play with. These builds will include my modified kernel (available separate in this forum as well) and include occasionally different source from my Kuroikaze builds, namely a memory bar graph in recent apps. Not all builds may contain this feature, though I like it so I tend to build it in there.
Kernel source is available here:
pio-masaki Github
I attempt to mirror any and all changes by tybar, and implement a few device tree changes myself in attempts to fix issues. My tree is currently private however it will be made public upon mod request OR becomes functional, whichever comes first.
Known issues:
Storage OR paid apps don't work depending on which boot.img you use.
Working:
Boots and runs, and is quite fast
WiFi
Bluetooth (needs more testing)
Sound (mostly, haven't had many issues with it yet). I may implement TinyHal later
Touch Screen
UI acceleration
Video HW Decode
GPS (slow sometimes but does work)
HDMI
Downloads:
Kuroikaze-Thrive Build 4
Kuroikaze-Thrive Build 9
Kuroikaze-Thrive Build 14
Kuroikaze-Thrive Build 14.1
Change Log:
Build 3 = Initial uploaded release.
Build 4 = Cameras working. Gallery opens. Front and rear cameras open view, capture may or may not work at all or correctly. Included a new kernel with GPU OC that should only be used for CM10, NOT ICS.
Build 5 = Failure, kernel changes prevented it's use, another kernel was needed.
Build 6 = New kernel V0.4 implemented.
Build 7 = Sensors and Rotation are now working. GPS should now operate correctly. Minor update to the kernel for rotation lock switch.
Build 8 = Video HW Decode should now be functional. Rotate lock switch should now be functional. Autobrightness may now be functional.
Build 9 = Full UI HW Acceleration (Project Butter). Rotation lock switch should actually be fixed this time. Some kernel changes for Play Store apps issues (may or may not work). Huge thanks to jbettcher for his work on the UI Acceleration, without it we wouldn't be near having it.
Build 14 = Black Bean 6 based build, built from source. Paid apps don't work, storage seems to work correctly (settings>storage will usually crash though)
Build 14.1 = Black Bean 6 based build, built from source. Paid apps work, however storage seems broken for some users, namely it doesn't see an sd card as being mounted, even though it is.
For file specific information, please use this linkHERE. This will list all of the ROMs, and each has it's own changelog available.
this is my boomstick
Thanks:
Tybar for his work on this project!
Godmachine (xda) for helping me out with the kernel work.
ezTerry (xda) for his work on the T20 Kernels, of which this kernel uses bits from.
The rest of the guys throwing in work on this project!
Team Baked for their work that was used for Build 14
diesburg for flashing random fixes chasing the storage bug.
j.anderson for flashing random fixes chasing the storage bug.
bostonbassman78 for flashing random fixes chasing the storage bug.
To everyone who donated to me when my Thrive's audio blew up and got me a replacement!
I'll be adding more, don't worry. If you aren't listed it isn't personal.
Sounds good
Thanks man

CM9 is something I'm sure could be built, though I'm also sure it'll be just as broken as CM10 is the first time around. I'm diverting among a few projects now, and as I jump between them I keep losing focus, I diverted from the A100 to the Thrive CM10, then to my Galaxy Nexus, which honestly didn't take long to mod to my liking as the source was already modded, just had to change it to work with phone ui. Then I started the Thrive kernel, and I think I'd like to try to get ICS good. Meaning, if the kernel proves to be ok, I'll look at CM9 next. If CM9 gets cleared, then CM10 will be that much easier. I think. Not a whole lot changed from CM9 to CM10 for the iconias, I hope its the same for the Thrive.
Dude you should apply for recognized developer. You definitely deserve it for being the only dev to build custom roms for the thrive.

[ROM][Official]MyTouch4G Slide CyanogenMod 10 20130101 (Alpha 3) - 4.1.2

CyanogenMod 10 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
This is an alpha release, but you should find it stable for everyday use.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
This is an alpha, with most critical functionality working.
TeamDS is working on porting Jellybean to the HTC Doubleshot (CM10 in specific). We have a reasonably well working Alpha we would like to share with the community for testing. Feedback is appreciated. If a timely response is not found here, we can be located on Freenode in #teamds.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. WIPE Data/Cache** (You can try to NOT WIPE, it works for me, but recommended wipe).
4. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Apps
HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was your problem a hard reboot? Get us the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was your problem a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred.
- Join #TeamDS on Freenode to talk to us directly.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!
Alpha name explanation.
"Alpha 3" has all the features of Alpha 2 (kernel/device), but the camera works. Also, the vendor blobs have been reduced and some replaced for optimal performance.
"Alpha 2" was the rebased 'common' kernel, rebased device trees. It provided a 3.0.53 kernel. The camera locking was broken.
"Alpha 1" was with a "KANG" kernel that ultimately was not very clean and had a lot of issues to resolve. It was also older (3.0.36 compared to 3.0.53).
----- CHANGES -----
Build 20130101 -- Alpha 3
Changes:
- Kernel rebase found in Alpha 2
- Fixes to the camera preventing the locking issue. Camera should be solid again!
- Contains functional Alt/Shift key LEDS, working www./.com button
- Restructured 'blobs' files, such as mpdecision and htcbatt.
(I have found improved battery statistics and usability with the blob changes.)
Happy New Year!
Bugs
* Chrome and Panorama Camera PREVIEW continues to be a little glitchy graphically, I have been told this is a common MSM8660 issue. They both still work, but it's annoying visually.
* Please report your results, and if you can capture /proc/last_kmsg when it happens, it would be hugely appreciated!
Historical
Build 20121222 -- Alpha 2
Changes:
This build has a somewhat new kernel base, as it's from a more up to date AOSP source which tbalden used when he ported our v2.6 kernel to v3.0 earlier in the year. It is a work in progress, but complete enough to warrant a release and more testing.
Build 20121121 -- Second public alpha (V 1.01)
- Upstream CM10 changes. No other large changes of note from previous 20121103 build pertaining to Doubleshot.
Build 20121121 (Alpha 1):
- Jellybeans!!1
- Updated kernel base to v3.0.48.
- Updated keylayout. NEEDS MORE WORK.
Please note flashing someone else's kernel may ruin your experience with this rom and I advise against it. This rom was a joint effort between kornyone & tbalden. A LOT of core works for msm8660 was put in by many CM Team members, and much of our work is based on their: toastcfh, Kali-, Kmobs, Bumblebee, cretin45, and all of the rest of CM!
A personal shoutout (THANKS!) is due to these individuals for their dedication to the HTC Doubleshot:
Stefan Seidel, Pál Zoltán Illés, and thanks to scverhagen of Github for keeping the kernel maintained!
THANKS to intervillium/intervigil for keeping the common HTC MSM8660 AOSP kernel up to date so many of our HTC MSM8660 phones are based on now in the Open Source community!

So THAT'S where you've been hiding...
Downloading now.
I never left. I won't be abandoning the Doubleshot anytime soon, even though I have a new daily (Samsung Galaxy Relay 4g) -- because my wife bought a brand new Doubleshot from T-Mobile just before they canceled them about 4 months ago.
I made no noticeable updates in months (about two) due to training for my new gig, which required 6 weeks on site in San Antonio (I live in Austin). Life has been a roller coaster. I also have hacked a few other devices, and I have too many projects now.
I drew a sadface in how the CM ROM thread splintered and fragmented on XDA. I guess I never made a post about CM9 Stable 9.1.0, which was released to http://get.cm (look for Doubleshot). That was 8/29. Also, just this week, I got Doubleshot in the lunch menu for Jenkins auto builds for CM9, so weekly CM9 builds for the Doubleshot are officially official.
Still, I am (almost always) in #teamds on Freenode. Also #cyanogenmod, #cyanogenmod-dev, etc.
Thanks for the support all. I have been hacking the Doubleshot since September last year. I ported CM7 to it, then CM9, and now CM10. tbalden was a monster and really helped us a lot with our v3 kernel most roms are using now.

the only thing i could not get to work on the camera was the camcorder facial effects. i got a few fc closes and panarama looks sketchy but works fine

This is great news. I'll submit fixes for CM9 via gerrit review and encourage everyone to download the nightly builds instead.
I will continue to maintain a kernel for the doubleshot.
Thanks for the hard work!
some bugs
So I just flashed this (full wipe, data, cache, dalvik), and I can confirm some weird stuff with the panorama shot. There's a lot of flickering in panorama mode and while capturing a panoramic shot, but the picture turns out fine (normal pictures seem to look even better than in CM9.1 though.) The main reason I can't keep this ROM right now though is because the ALT key doesn't work in browser fields. It works in the address bar and in apps on the phone (searching contacts, text message fields, etc.), but not on text fields in the browser such as on Google, Youtube, or typing in passwords, so I can't access the secondary functions of the keys. Other than that, it seems very stable. Did not experience a reboot/boot loop, or force close. Wifi and BT tethering seems to be working fine for the brief period I tested it. But I think I'm gonna stick CM9.1 for now.
edit: also, no face unlock? not an issue for me, but I think some people like to have/prefer it.
edit again: the ALT key does work but you have to hold it while typing out your secondary characters. so no two press to lock it in "ALT mode"
The only problem with the hardware keyboard I found on this ROM is the www/com button not working, but I'm used to this one from the CM9 alpha builds. I haven't tested out the camera yet, even though this is the camera I use.
I was thinking of switching to an iphone, but this rom is giving new life to my phone. Thanks!

dsp manager seems to be fixed here! thanks for all the hard work kornyone and the rest of teamds!
this is so smooth! and as some people said above, caps/alt is working fine, www/com button acts like a space bar.
can we use ics (especially scverhagen's) kernels with this?
and i know this is probably jumping the gun a bit, but since bruce2728 over on the sensation xda page just fixed 1080p (and many other small bugs the sensation experienced, and therefore we probably will do), is it potentially possible to fix it on ours down the line? not asking for it be actually fixed right now, just seeing if its possible...
thanks again for all the great work!

I'm doing everything I can to get you guys a forum going for the Relay.I've contacted mods, spammed the new device request thread, and rallied everyone to do the same. If you know any mods or higher ups that can get you guys up and running, I suggest you do so. They have active development going on and they BADLY need a forum
Glad to see the fresh work :good:

Nice! They need some support! Alot of 'em are our fellow subforum members (G2/MT4GS) and deserve their own forum. I would have gotten one myself if I wasn't so spoiled by our awesome camera and prettier housing. The Note 2 will probably be my next one when I can get some spare cash. Although, I have to admit.... I am still digging our DS and enjoying having CM9 so stable thanks to kornyone, scverhagen, and others. Makes sense to move on to CM10 once resources were available and am dying to see if project butter makes a true impact as far as performance goes on our device. Will have to check this puppy out shortly!
Awesome! Finally get to try Jelly Bean! Gonna flash in the morning
Wow that's some great news! Thanks. Definitely flashing tonight.
This is perfect timing since I was just about to wipe my rom and reinstall it. I've been sitting on the side lines reading about all the love that JB users received. I may finally get to experience the same, after all.

Build Lineage ROM from source and one line of code for OC to 1.88

I have been working on getting a build environment to be able to see if I could build from source. I have an XT905 (basically an XT907 with different mobile frequencies), which can almost use an XT897 ROM. Just need to replace the Bluetooth and screen drivers and some build props. Anyway, I finally managed to produce a built ROM from source. So I looked into what would need to be done to bring in the CPU overclocking from @arrrghhh kernel.
Surprisingly, the higher CPU clock frequencies were already defined in the code, but turned off with a build flag. So, on my last build (and now the only one I have actually flashed), I turned the OC flag ON. And when I booted, installed Kernel Adiutor, and checked the available frequencies, sure enough they were there!
In short, I can now build an OC'd Lineage 6.0.1 ROM from Source! and anyone else can too!
Now don't get too excited, as i wont be releasing any build I do too soon (and my build is for XT905), but the source is there for anyone taking the time to build it for themselves, or if another dev wants to build it for you. I may release one in the future. But without regular releases, all would be best to stick with the official build. Even better would be to convince the official builds to include the OC option.
The real purpose of this thread is simply to let people know the option is there, and the code is there. I have been running it for the last few minutes, and unusually, it has not hit deep sleep, while my daily version hits deep sleep almost the instant the screen is off
Hey there! Any updates on this? I'd really like to help, and I have some Java/Android Framework knowledge so please tell me if you need help. Unfortunately, I can't build a ROM from source because my internet is reaaaaaally slow (100KB/s of download at much) and I don't have enough storage. I really, really want a somewhat stable Marshmallow ROM for my xt907 (I'd prefer AOSP, but LOS is vanilla enough, at least), it's my development phone and I can't upgrade to something better/newer.
BTW, do the xt897 builds boot right away in your xt905? Could you provide me those drivers (compiled) so I can try in my xt907?
EDIT: Well, they actually boot! The touchscreen doesn't work, though (that's what the drivers you were talking about are for, I suppose), I think I'll create a script that adds the necessary changes to the zip, once I find out what files need to be replaced, or are the drivers tied to the kernel?

Kernel Source Acquired

After a month of back and forth with Barnes and Noble support and numerous references to the GPL, I think I've managed to acquire a copy of the kernel source for this tablet. It's published as a ZIP on Barnes and Noble's website. I haven't spend a whole lot of time with it, as I currently do not have the resources to build it, but from a cursory glance it seems to be reasonable, if in a weird format. I've also mirrored the source on GitLab (unfortunately, GitHub doesn't work with files over 100 MB nicely) for you guys to play with in case the Barnes and Noble link goes down or you'd like a faster download. If you see anything crucial missing, let me know and I'll try to get it fixed by pestering them to give it to me!

What resources do you need. I picked up the new bn 7 tablet the other day. It's the 650 model. I have Ubuntu and superr kitchen
Edit: screen smashed...will donate the board to someone for Dev...
I have no idea what to do with it, actually. How can I do something useful with this?

If we had a build of twrp, we could probably start building custom roms with this kernel I bet. I'm gonna ask B&N about getting the source for BNTV460 since that is the one I have.
A big issue that i'm having with this source is I can't figure out which defconfig to use for this device
I have recently built LineageOS 15.1 for the Nook Tablet 7" (Only st18c7bnn/bntv460) and have looked over the kernel source and found that this source code is essentially useless because it is missing the lcm code, which controls screen and touchscreen. I do not see them releasing full kernel source for this device or for the oreo model in the future as every time I've called I have had no luck getting anything from them. If anyone else is willing to try to ask for kernel source from them, please do since it is not only their legal obligation to give it with all of their modifications, but also a huge help for development. The st16c7bnn & st18c7bnn both use the same LCM, although for some reason, st16c7bnn(the marshmallow device) is 64bit while st18c7bnn(oreo) is 32bit only.

So, if I'm understanding correctly you have a non-functional LineageOS? Or is it that the st18c7bnn is the only one that needs the LCM code, and it already works on st18c7bnn (if so, would you mind sharing the build)?
I'd be happy to contact them again (maybe they'll see my old ticket and redirect it to the person who handled that issue), but I would have to know exactly what to ask for because otherwise they are really slow and ask a bunch of questions.

I'd be happy to contact them again (maybe they'll see my old ticket and redirect it to the person who handled that issue), but I would have to know exactly what to ask for because otherwise they are really slow and ask a bunch of questions.

Sorry for the long delay in response. Basically, I have an almost perfectly functioning build of LineageOS for st18c7bnn (Nook Tablet 7" 2018 Android Go Edition only), but I wanted the kernel source so I could rebuild the kernel and attempt to merge in security fixes for it. If you have the 2018 model of the device, I'll gladly send the TWRP zip of the rom to you. Seems to work fine, and imo is better than using a gsi. I still have to do more testing, but I'm currently busy with another device. I just want to have the full kernel source (which would include necessary dtb and lcm drivers) for the st18c7bnn and st18c10bnn (Nook Tablet 10.1) like the license the kernel is under should force B&N to do. Since the devices have been discontinued, I figure it's now or never for that, since the longer we wait, the more likely that Emdoor deleted the kernel source off of their machines. But any help is appreciated. Thanks
