[GUIDE] How to build kernel from source - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I just wanted to share a guide I wrote for the T989 which shows you how to build your own kernel from source. The guide is compatible with the I727 also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516051

I am also starting a guide to mod your ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23343879

Nice starting!!!!!!!

Looking forward to your full guide.

[Q] Kernel Construction

Hey guys,
I wanted to get a look into how you guys build kernels for new devices and phones, as I want to eventually build my own. Do you have a guide or series of pages I can read that gives me the basics?
Side Question: I am running cyanogen mod on my tbolt, what kernel out there do you recommend for speed and that functions well with cyanogen mod.

New SGS3 flavored ROM - requirements definition

Hi Guys
I want to make an (English) SGSIII flavored ROM for our SGH-T959V.
What I thought of :
1. Based on Team Acid CM9 / Erikmm's IMM76L.
2. Added Touch Wiz ICS.
3. Added S-Voice app.
4. Added Smart Stay MOD.
5. Some theming (maybe ask for Raver's advises/participation).
6. AwesomeBeats (by Awesome).
7. Dalvik optimized (Odexed) by airfluip.
Let me know what you think and please raise your suggestions.
I want to gether them all before starting to work.
Thanks.
P.S
Obviously it will need some heavy testing as these MODs are quite mem eaters...
You know where to find me ;-)
Oh, it seems RemICS has the same vision.
I will ask Team Unknown to add some more features. No need to make another similar ROM.

Right now, I'm trying to find S-Memo that comes on GS3, if I can find it, you should definately incorporate it if it's possible. Watch a video of it, it's pretty awesome.
Look at the sgs3 forums download a rom then unzip and got to system/app and find the S memo
This is getting way off topic.
So far I decided to base ROM on Erikmm's IMM76L ROM, take SGSIII stuff from RemICS, add more features such as AwesomeBeats, smartstay, TWICS.
I will look into SGS3 memo.
Regarding wifi calling I'm pretty dependant on Erik implementing Team Acid fix once and if it arrives.
More suggestions please.

new kernel dev needed

Since we lose intX and his kernel, anyone can take over his kernel and continue to update? Lets take a look the dev forum, except mohans rom and kernels , almost all thread is cm ,aokp roms.
Don't think you're gonna find help this way. Since the only incentive is interest, you'll just have to wait.

I've been thinking about building a custom kernel.. there are some extra modules I'd like to include anyway.
I've built the Linux kernel thousands of times, including cross compile for arm and custom patch sets etc.
But for some reason when i tried building an Android kernel a few months ago it just wouldn't boot no matter what. So don't get your hopes up.
I'll give it a shot though when i get a chance. You mainly want some extra governors? Under volt?
I'd rather start with a fresh cm base and merge in specific things as i go.

everyone need custom kernel for different purpose. for me , i need only badass and the newest interactiveX governor, i think that is all i need. you can PM InstigatorX, he is move to a new phone , so may you can take over his thread. thanks anyway , it is a good thing to have hopes , and wait patiently ......

Ill be doing kernel builds and theming soon. I can do rom builds but we have enough devs for that at the moment with the rookie thread bringing in quite a few new devs. I have done things going on with my 4 daughters but as soon as I get that worked out ill be moving to kernels. Will be about a month before I have my first custom kernel released.

ROM: [4.2.2]SlimBean-SGH_I727 skyrocket build 3.1 04-03-13 UNOFFICIAL

Special note, It seems there have been a bricked skyrocket using clockworkmod! There have been none with twrp. I would suggest you use twrp with this rom and would like to hear from anyone that has installed with cwm!
If something is broken You need to provide clear instructions on how to reproduce it and provide Logcats, kmsg and last kmsg if applicable.
This rom would not be possible without the hard work and knowledge of CyonanogenMod,prbassplayer! And of course the Slim team!
Lots of thanks to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798056, I recommend anyone that is interested in building from source to read this thread!

I have been compiling SlimBean for the hercules for some time now. I finally got 4.2.2 up and running pretty smooth. I noticed no one was building for the skyrocket so here it is. I've had some testers playing with it for a couple of days because I don't have a skyrocket. All has gone well, if cm has a bug then this probably does to since its a cm kernel. Camera and video are both working now. This rom is straight from Slim's source with 0 changes. I had one tester who tried a different kernel and had overheating problems and of course terrible battery life. This rom, like 4.2.1 has better battery life than cm at least for me.
I know there were problems with early development of this rom, but it is safe and can now be used as a daily driver. However as usual I am not responsible for a bricked or damaged phone. I just figured since I'm supporting the hercules why not share with the skyrocket to. If anyone wants to compile for skyrocket and take over please feel free lol Go to the rookie thread and follow the tutorial in op for slim and I will try to help with any problems. ENJOY

As one of the early testers of this build I can attest that this is smooth and solid. The only problem I've had so far is getting Trebuchet to play nice, but someone else tested and didn't have the same problem. I did all of my setup yesterday, brought it up to a full charge and went to bed. 7 1/2 hours of deep sleep (for me and the phone), some streaming audio this morning, a few texts and I've still got plenty of juice. Nice work to the OP and the whole Slim team.

Very nice surprise to find this build, coming from the 4.1.2 version of Slimbean 3.1.
Installed and everything seems functional, including torch in Quick Settings Panel, very smooth and snappy.
Many thanks to onlychevys for building this!!

Ask all questions here in this thread, I need to change the op! If one of you knows the answer to a question from another than please feel free to help. I am not a dev but I am learning fast and can compile from source. If we all work together we can keep slim working on this device as well as the hercules. We almost got left behind and since this is my favorite rom that would suck! android88 started the q&a thread listed in op and is super smart with android on your phone, so if your question or problem is not answered here then ask there. I will have him look in on this thread if he don't mind.

+1 on this! I was a bit surprised not to see the normal slim 182 dpi at first, but the density changer worked like a charm so far thanks for bringing this to us onlychevy's, you're the man!
One thing I have noticed is that the video recording preview is "zoomed in." I remember this being an issue in cm10.1 at first but topprospect made a commit that fixed it. Videos record fine, just looks grainy while recording.
Edit: anyone know where I can find the stock slim wallpaper? I want to apply a theme, but I don't want to lose this wall

Thread cleaned
OK, let's start this again
I will list a few of the high points mentioned in the cleaned posts as there were some good points made
Everyone has to start somewhere. My first ROM was just an ADB /pull of my existing setup and thrown into a flashable.
From there this awesome community taught me how to do so much more.
If you want to stick in this thread and help with growth and contribute to the community please do and thank you
If you want to trash someone for trying and tear down the attempt please ignore this thread and move on
Thank you for your cooperation
