Patching BFS into the Android Kernel - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Does anyone on here have sucsesfull getting BFS into the kernel and compiling? Ive tried many versions many ways and i just cant get the kernel compiling. Ive emailed many people i know have gotten BFS working but havent heard back. So im just hoping maybe someone on these boards has some experience and can help me out a little. Ive been trying to get my kernel out but i refuse to release it until i get BFS in it and its really holding me back.

Take a look here. There's patches for nearly all versions. I have used that in every kernel I included BFS in.
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/

Have you used those to patch an Android specific kernel? Those are the patches im using but they are intended for the mainline kernel and none of them patch 100% clean but ive hand patched the problematic parts. The kernel version im using 2.6.32.9 which kolavis doesnt acually have a patch for im assuming becuase its not a mainline kernel version? Ive tried a few other 2.6.32 patches and ive trie bfs v311 v313 v404 and each have there own problems v313 will compile but i have to remove the mmc support for some reason.
If youve compiled an Android kernel with BFS i would love to know what kernel version and BFS version so maybe i can start some investigation.
Maybe someone knows what mainline kernel the android 2.6.32 kernel is forked from?

Porting HTC patches to Froyo 2.6.32.9 kernel

Hi,
I'm going to try an alternative approach to Richard's (excellent) kernel, by porting across the HTC patches to the 2.6.32.9 kernel.
I presume, first of all, that there is a Froyo branch of this kernel (although it doesn't seem to be public in GIT yet), though it would be useful if I could get hold of this as a starting point.
What source are people using as a baseline for the N1 kernel mods?
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

[Q] kernel is not updated after upgrade

i upgraded to this version (the latest one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619
i see that rom's version ha upgraded to 2.3.6 the modem
was upgraded to uclb3
but the kernel is
if i tried the sgs flasher with the zimage from the same thread the kernel went to uclb3
but the the cwm didn't work, got error in the recovery 3e ,
dont' thave enough permitions
but all the root functions work well (getting sys folder end etc.. )
Thank
you can't have cwm and a 2.3.6 kernel at the same time. nobody with the knowledge have repacked the ram bootdisk into a stock kernel with access to cwm. when source code is available we will likely see new kernels with cwm. now there is a shortage of kernel developers and none that want to waist the time before an update is official and final because it may become obsolete in a week anyway.
what is the latest version with cwm?
thanks a lot!
what is the latest version of infuse with cwm working?
and where can i find the changes between all the versions
between 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
and from kernel uxkg3 to uclb3 ?
thanks again!

2.3.3 is the latest kernel version with source code. att never released source. ode even though they updated to 2.3.6. they have been playing games it seems.
the changes in android versions are minor. most don't actually apply to the infuse. things like support for wimax and video function in gtalk are things listed in the changelog in Wikipedia which obviously did not make it into the infuse roms. the only thing that might apply is the battery enhancements in 2.3.5. other than that it is mostly a number. the truth is that it more designates which version of the nexus s it was developed for than specific improvement.

[Q] Stock Kernel - Add frequencies and/or governors

Hi community:
I wanted to know if there's some way to edit frequency values on the stock kernel and hopefully to add new governors. I tried some custom kernels but right now I want to stick to the stock kernel because I read that it has a proprietary driver that manages CPU (MPdecision I think it is).
I would be willing to compile, test and stuff on my device but if someone knows an easier trick (build prop or stuff) I'll gladly appreciate it.
Also if there's a stock-based customized kernel out there with such capabilities (I searched but all are AOSP based) I would try it.

i don't know if it works but try using engineering mode..
This app was mentioned on XDA news today - claims to let you tweak CPU: (no mention of it requiring a custom kernel)

Where are the Kenerl Sources for fw 1.2.1

Hello,
I'm looking for the kernel sources 1.2.1, but i only found the sources for the 1.1 stock rom.
I'm currently a Noob and just compiled a stock kernel for my Sony Xperia Z1, but there is already a good kernel, so i want to try my luck with the tablet.
I think some features like Faux's Sound control and some governors and a bit OC (Yeah I'm a perfomance freak) would make this tablet the ultimate killer ..
But either I'm stupid or blind, I Can't see the sources of the kernel.
Can someone show me them, please.
I'd really appreciate that.
regards

No problems, it just seems like Nvidia hasn't added the data on their page, which still has 2.4 builds.

[?]Nethunter Kernel

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has or is working on a Nethunter Kernel for OP7 Pro.
Everything but the kernel with wifi adapter support is already in Magisk, so just the kernel is needed these days.
Damn, I guess it's not needed here.
Get source for one of the custom kernels that are already available . And then apply the net Hunter kernel patches and compile
https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki/Modifying-the-Kernel
Let us know that works out for you...
so one must use the source from a custom kernel and not the official? what is the reason for that?
was considering to try and build one but has never done it before, watching this video it doesn't look that hard
something else I should have thought about before trying to build one?
Did anybody get the nethunter kernel complied I get errors Everytime I do it ,hoping somebody else had better luck and would not mind sharing
