I noticed source update1 for the i727 at opensource.samsung.com. Downloading now, I haven't had a chance to see what it contains.
Version 2.3.6
What does this means?

Not much, unless you are wanting to compile Gingerbread from source. If it contains UCLA3 updated source, it might help some of the developers of the latest ROMs to tweak their builds.
Stupid question: Do these have the actual source code in them? What I mean is that can I download this and look at the code and learn about how an Android OS works?

If you are interested in generic android source, you'd be better off going to source.android.com. The samsung source is not full android source, only source that is specific to the device.

I downloaded the source tree for android 2.2 from source.android.com. However, I can only make generic. How can I build an android 2.2 for nexus one? Thanks.

You may want to check out: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Passion
It may not be totally "generic" but its pretty close and may give you more information on how to build direct AOSP.
I hope that helps!
Nearly days I get an open souce code of i5800 and I just a new one in the compling world,so I hope someone can help me find something useful in configuring the code or some books useful.
If you have a qq number and our time are not rushed ,we can communicate in this way.(No facebook or twitter in china....How big the wall!)
My QQ number is 361180509
not sure I understood what you mean, do you have access to newer (froyo) kernel sources for I5800? if so, please do share
eclair kernel source is on opensource.samsung.com, and they compile just fine with the official Android toolkit, but Samsung's changes for Froyo are nowhere to be found (a few modules missing, touchscreen and accelerometer being the most notable), and the kernel doesn't compile anyway.

Not sure if i get you right, do you say it does, or it does not compile? If not, we should request propper sources from Samsung.
sorry,I just don't find the offical source code website before posting this.Cause I just a freshman and I haven't got my PC....
maybe I'll compile the source code later.Sorry to make these mistakes.And I'm chnese.So my english is poor.....

eclair sources compile just fine, both with my system cross-compiling toolkit (arm-android-linux-gnueabi managed on gentoo by crossdev) and with the prebuilt one that comes with the Android platform
I might give it a try to actually boot it (but I would need to construct an initramfs, and it's a lot of work, and I kinda need to get back to "proper" work, I was consumed by Android during the last 3 weeks since I got the phone )

You can use the initramfs from Eclair.. I'm assuming you're talking about 2.1.. since 2.2 sources aren't out yet for this phone.
Link for the initramfs for Eclair is here: http://www.multiupload.com/U6GB5BB3HI
This is the JK1 I think - or whatever eclair rom I posted up previously

I dont think there is one for that as that is not an official version of Android. Very few China based Android phones are supported by AOSP. You may have to start it yourself if you want it. The first thing you will need to do is have the OEM post the kernel source code for the device. This will be your biggest challenge. As most China OEM dont respect the GPL laws

Ok
What if there is no source of kernel? Can I use compiled kernel (3.0.13) from current firmware (4.0.3) or this is impossible?

Without kernel source your kinda out of luck. No that kernel will not work on AOSP as that 4.0.3 is not an official android version. It is a hacked together version. Your best bet would be to sell it and get something that is not a knock off.

Got to write to the OEM. Only they will be able to release the kernel source. Good luck. Dont hold on to hope though. They are not forced to post kernel source like everyone else.

Don't you know is it real to compile with another kernel for same CPU MT6575?
Found some links to kernel sources for other phones - seems to be working for different devices.
Hey guys,may I know "In order to make a build for your device, you will need a suitably device configuration. Often these are included within the main source download, or are obtained through a method documented by the developers of the ROM." <<<<<where can I get this?
Should be the source code, i guess.

Kernel source code?
I think so.
Where can I find proprietary binaries?
Kernel Source code can be found at www.htcdev.com
After it is released.

And the binaries are located in the source code?I'm asking all this questions because I'm in the midst of developing.And to further understand so that it would be easier for me.
I'm no kernel dev, so i can't answer more than this.
It's ok.
Hello,
I'm trying to create a CM port for my Getnord Onyx device.
As far as I know, to do this I need kernel source code with all of it's patches. So I contacted manufacturer and nicely asked them to give me the source code, but they didn't reply.
What should I do? And I don't think that GNU General Public Licence is going to help me here (or can it, if so: how do I use it?)
Thank you!
The Linux kernel is licensed under GNU and they are required to release the kernel but alot of Chinese manufacturers don't do it. You can use a prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but don't expect new Android versions.

Is it possible to somehow decompile Kernel from my phone?

No, but you can use the prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but you won't be able to upgrade Android versions
Having the same issue with Blu. using the prebuilt kernel, is there any chance a newer Android version than what it came with would work?
