Hi all,
I want to build Android from source and install it on a device. Simple build runs successfully so that I assume the environment is set up correctly. Question is: Is there a dependency between Android and the kernel version, i.e. do certain Android versions require certain kernel versions? Do I need to update the kernel on a device before installing a new Android version?
Thanks a lot!!
Mike
I'm looking for a flashable kernel that is compiled against Linux kernel version 3.9 or higher.
I need some new drivers included in that branch.
I know one person did it for the Nexus 5 so I'm pretty sure it should be possible on the OPO.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I'm running stock lollipop on 23.1.A.1.28 and i'm looking for a kernel that allows me to use governors like pegasus, elementalx, etc.
Is there any of them that allows that?
I do believe that only the aosp kernel sources are available to build from, meaning that stock would need to be reverse engineered. It's still early days and post lollipop / "M", so give it a while ?
Chinese internet contains a lot of closed QCOM sources (proprietary, modem, tz, etc).
To find these sources type in the google/bing:
Code:
AU_LINUX_ANDROID_JB_MR1_RB1.04.02.02.050.175_msm8974_JB_MR1_RB1_CL3847824_release_AU
At the beginning of June 2016, I decided to try to build a CM11 , using the QCOM proprietary source codes.
My device is based on msm8228 (overclocked msm8226).
Build result: a fully working CM11 with QCOM libs compiled by UBERTC 4.8.5.

May I send you a pm?
I wrote yesterday converter fo libchromatix files.
It converts binary file to h-file.

I was able to make a fully working firmware!
Even the camera began to work!

Source codes are actively removed by QCOM employees.
To search for these on the Internet, I advise you to do so:
1) search on google.com archive "android_vendor_qcom_proprietary-msm8226-kk.zip"
2) search on github.com file "t4k37ab_lib.c"

Strange this didn't get enough interest, i mean, these are "old" (up to SD800 if i understand well) but they should be useful even for newer socs. However great demonstration, remittor
Thanks for the work.
Am really interested on this but it is hard to find some information.
I have the idea to start a full open source rework of the camera hal but am not good enough to work on this alone.
Am looking for people who can help me
Hey all just loaded Slim 6.0.1 on myTab 2 10.1 tablet. However I'm wondering can I OC the devicelike before when I ran the slim rom 4.2.2 I had stweaks running. Now it tells me unsupported kernel.
I just find the tablet a little slow especially on sites etc.
Any help or input is appreciated.
Download the kernel source which is OpenSource.
Add the OC interface (not sure if previous used code works).
Compile the OC kernel yourself.
OpenSource is great
