i have micromax a85 on android 2.3 but company refused to give kernel source so i wanna know if kernel of galaxy r can be ported to our lovely a85 since both devices are based on tegra2 board same ULP GPU have similar specs (except 512 - 1gb ram, 0.3 mp - 1.3 mp front camara , no flash-with flash
in micromax a85 - galaxy r respectively
The thing is that to port a bootimage.....you will have to adapt the appropriate sources according to your phone
Herpderp Defy.
They cannot refuse to give the kernel code. Kindly remind them that the kernel's source code is licensed under GPL v2 and they are obliged to release sources.

Dear All,
I'm also looking to customize the kernel for overclocking and maybe CM10.1. I have found the kernel source for other Chinese phone TSL S600, TCL S710, TCL S800, which has similar spec:
CPU: MTK6577 ARMv7 Cortex-A9 Dual-core 1.0GHz
GPU: PowerVR SGX531 Ultra
Memory: 512MB
ROM: 4GB
Dual SIM
The source file can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alca...?source=navbar
Maybe we can port the kernel to B92M and from there develop on the kernel.
I'm have experience in C programming(in my academic days) but no experience in kernel porting. I'm think of trying but don't know how to go about porting it. I have already setup a Ubuntu development environment and trying to compile the Kernel now.. Please feel free to try it out if you have experience with Kernel development. Please contribute and share your experience / problems here!
Let's breath life to this great device!
Stanley Lim
Cheers.

hey will work to on an kerel for our b92m
look here... these are all sources of our board... cpu.. etc...

UPDATE:: WE HAVE THE SOURCES!!
Sony just released the complete source code for their new mtk6589 android the Sony Xperia C...Get downloading and let the development of custom roms, kernels and much much more begin..link below
http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-16-0-a-0-36/
Hopefully more and more manufacturers will follow suite and provide theirs too..Anyways this is a big win.
Finally, thanks to all of you who took their time to support us and help us get this.
Dear XDA members,
MediaTek is a leading manufacturer when it comes to mobile processors just like Qualcomm. They are responsible for bringing quad core CPU's like the MTK6589 among others. We have been waiting for a very long time for MediaTek to release their Kernel Sources so that we may tweak, mod and further development of the roms in our devices. The sources will allow us to port custom roms and kernels like Cyanogen ,Paranoid , AOSP, MIUI and AOKP among many others. This will be a major game changer for this processor as they prepare to launch the 8-core MTK processor.
My request to all those who see this(developer or not) is to take a second to vote, spread the word on any other forum and maybe this time they will hear us. Support our cause
It is about time this happened.
Thank you all for your time.
Be sure to vote in the Poll and feel free to leave a comment.:fingers-crossed:
i guess instead of voting here its better to sign petition over here

check thus link (Chinese):

Its fully functional, Jelly Bean 4.2.1 build.
If they can build then why we xda dev can't build custom roms (KitKat 4.4) for A3000??

Hi,
Is there any tutorial how to build mtk kernel ?
I am struglling with it, and have errors in compilation.
Thanks,
Ranchu
Hi guyz
just in case if you guyz missed this update, Blu mobile has released kernal sources for their some devices. One of the device is exact clone / carbon copy of A110q. so if there are any developers who can take advantage of this, our device can have more improved ROMs and features rather than themed rom.

hope there is some positive energy on development ...

OPENSOURCE ISSUE
I purchased 3 devices and i have to choose one for me and rest for my brothers,But i am confused which one i should use.
Xolo Q1100 with Snapdragon 8228 CPU & Adreno 305 GPU
Xolo Q500 with Snapdragon 8225Q CPU & Adreno 203 GPU
LAVA IRIS 406Q with Snapdragon 8212 CPU & Adreno 302 GPU
I defiantly want to develop custom Roms and kernels but i cannot find any source codes of these.No sources provided by manufacturer and
nothing found on internet.My previous device was mediatek based.I am new to snapdragon.
Specification variations has no matter with device selection.I just want development and opensource.
SO any of the above processors have development future?
If any more info required then plz notify me....
I am mentioning here some good devs so they can give me advice.Sorry if you don't like my way.I apologizes.

Thing is although this phone is Qualcomm based and not Mediatek it is unlikely that the manufacturers will ever release the source code because they are Chinese companies but there is a chance. Search around being a Qualcomm device you might be able to find another device with the same chipset and with existing kernel source and use it.
Sent from my HTC One (M8)
Which one?
Well.it would be the best for you to pick up the first one in your list.:good:
because of several reasons which the first one is I.do have it myself, and I'm so pleased of that and secondly it's specifically designed to enable devices to switch seamlessly from app to app, enjoy breathtaking download speeds and play the hottest games and even enables best-in-class mobile experiences with all-day battery life.

Thanks for reply,and first one definitely seems good on specification table.But i need to choose device which has development future and for
that it must be opensource.So do you have any idea about sources for snapdragon 8228??And which device you own?
Well,as I said, I do have the first listed device and hopefully I have gathered some sources which were in chinise,
I had tried to translate some but most unfortunately I am not with my own PC right now but If I get there and if you wanted to,I can share them with you.

I have the Xolo Q500. Pretty good device though but now its bricked. There is no custom recovery nor custom rom available for this device.

Hi all,
I am requesting every user to post their device information given below to help rom porting from different devices. As this will become a list and will help porters to see device information from here.
The following information should be posted.
1. Your device name.
2. Android version
3. Kernel version (this is most important)
4. GPU ( which GPU it has such as Mali 400, Mali 450, etc).
5. CPU (which CPU it has such as MT6572, Snaapdragon 650 etc).
You can get this info by installing CPU-Z or AIDA64 from playstore
Thats all whats required.
As what i know is to port a rom from a device to other device you need to know 3 things.
There are good chances port will be a success
1. It must be same chip manufacturer such as MediaTek you can port mt6572 to mt6580, mt6582 to mt6580 etc.
2. It must have same kernel version although android version can be different.
3. Its Gpu must be same.
So i hope everyone is going to post their device info here so it can help porters to find the right devices for porting.
Starting myself
My device is Qmobile X35
Android version 4.4.2
Kernel version 3.4.67
GPU is Mali-400MP1
CPU is MT6572
I have ported miui8, cm12.1, cm13, ressurection remix 5.5.9 and 5.6.7 on my device successfully.
Now i m going to port pure stock android lolipop on my device if i find same kernel version to my device with lolipop rom.
I hope this list will help a lot as it will have full list of all devices info.
1. Samsung Galaxy J1(sm-j100h)
2. Android 4.4.4
3. Kernel 3.10.17-333157
4.Mali-400 MP
