Hello,
I have been porting kernel 3.0 to i9003 since last month.
Now, platform specific codes and most of the drivers are ported.
Today, I am able to finish the kernel build with minor warnings.
but I have problems customizing the init scrits to be used with the kernel.
Any help from more experience devs would be appreciated
Current status:
- Platform specific code and all drivers except battery are ported.
- The kernel is built successfully
- trying to pack it into normalboot.img
I can release the source now due to its size. ( asking a guy at github to increase my storage space). But will do asap.
Sorry to post in the wrong forum but I dont have permission to post in the dev forum.

Great...but main question is that whether device boot or not??? Because many people have successfully compiled kernel 3.0 but device doesnt boot.

That what I'm going to find out. For now, I'm trying to modify the init script and looking for help from some devs here to speed it up.
my wish- that you release it as fast as you can
R u using
This?
i have also used this guide n compiled a kernel 3.0 successfully packed it using dhiru's boot.img from alpha 6
i have also modified sum codes
but still no luck i think these files need alot of config changes!!!!
n lastly best of luck i hope u get success

sachin sharma, can you explain your procedure during your port? I'll compare with mine to see if we do the same thing.
After checking the boot script, I don't think we can just do a drop-in replacement. I think modifying the init script is needed (and i'm working on it). Also, There are some changes in the kernel which can cause problem with the ported code. I'm thinking about droping RFS and J4FS support in the new kernel (and probably abandon all samsung code).

I will suggest u to start ur thread in development thread. In general section developers mostly dont come here. Also u should upload ur source code to github. It will help to other developers to look into ur source code & find out the problem.

all we need is config file in /arch/arm/config for kernel 3.0 for our devices
all we have now is config file for kernel 2.6.7 thats wats preventing our devices to boot
i followed same procedure mentiond in that blog after that i used zoom config file edit it at some places wer i thought shud be a change like device name to galaxy sl etc
renamed it latona_galaxy_sl
even then no benefit but i havn't givn hope m still trying!!!!
main problem is that we dont know how to configurate config file as "make config" command gives a hell lot of options!!!!

I have gone far more than that . All latona specific codes are ported not only the defconfig file. Most drivers (LCD, power switch, camera, etc.) are also ported. I'm now modifying the init script to match what the kernel have now. Hopefully it will boot.

u mentiond that u r getting errors while compiling right?
that means ur deconfig file is still not correct
all the codes needs to be changed according to "kernel 3.0"
not by porting codes from other kernels or previous kernels
n lastly all drivers are already given in the source code thers nothing to change in it except that u just have to compile!!!!!!

Hey Guys,
We all know that there is very little chance that we are going to get G3 support for ROM Manager. So as we have been doing from a long time, lets take that task in our own hands
We shall create a team, and make a ROM Manager for G3 supporting most of the Custom ROM's and Kernel's.
What all we need:
Recovery - I will provide the recovery from G3MOD, separately, so that everyone can install even with Fugumod.
App Developers - Please Post in the thread if you are interested.
Server - If anyone can provide us with a server with good storage and bandwidth? OTA for all ROM's and Kernels can be included in the software.
Anyone Else who has any idea, and wants to help in this project is welcome
Advantages of this Project:
1) Odin flashing will no longer be required.
2) ROM's and their Updates can be provided from the Server directly.
3) You can try any new ROM, without loosing data from your previous ROM.
Note to ROM Developers:
1) You will need to provide your ROM's as System.img files
2) Those interested in providing your ROM's using this ROM Manager, please let us know.
Thanks To:
Koush for the superb recovery and ROM Manager.
Functions We Can Have for the ROM Manager + Recovery:
1) Update Recovery - App
2) List of ROM's with Features. - App
3) List of Kernel's with Features. - App
4) OTA Updates for all ROM's and Kernel's - App
5) Switching ROM's - CWM
6) Backup Data - CWM
7) Restore Data - CWM
8) Backup Current ROM - CWM
9) Reboot to Recovery - App

we just need enough support from everyone and this thing can be done
Coding the UI like in the famous ROM Managee shouldn't be hard 'cause it's basically an Options-Menu. The question is what's behind that. If we just need to fire Linux Shell Commands it shouldn't be hard - i set up an Script Executer for my first app allready.

Well, we already have the source for ROM manager, by koush...
https://github.com/ClockworkMod
So i dont think it will be very difficult to do it...
We just need as many app developers possible, so that we can have the project up and running fast
I am trying to mod the recovery in a better way, so switching between ROM's via CWM is faster and also there is no loss of data

Great Work!!
R u also working on a kernel which can support CM7 on multiboot?
Coz currently we have only 2 kernels for CM7, one by marcel himself and the other by apollo but in both the kernels music experience is very bad due to noise. Now, since marcel and apollo are very less active on XDA due to may be they get very less time from their work, there is only one option left and that is you
I really want to keep CM7 on my mobile but can do that with dual or multiboot only as it is not yet complete.
I hope this project will give life to G3 forum.

Hi dharam
I want to get in.
I can help as far as it is C code.
I checked the github repo, but all you can find are the resources needed for the layout and such. So we COULD use that, but that would mean we have to write all the underlying Java code by ourselves..
Dympy.
So this is it, this is the patched I9103ZCLD4 kernel with voodoo sound, but also with the latest CWM built from CM repo as well as ro.secure = 0.
The rev 1.2a builds have made the following changes :
- Boost the performance change by using several specific gcc and linker options.
- Make a kernel based on I9103ZCLD4 instead.
However the following parts still remain, and I will finish them once I made the I9103XWLA4 build :
- Try to compile the kernel with '2 way calling recording enabled'
- Made modification on the default.prop and init.rc which can further boost the performance.
- Try to port touchable recovery to the system.
- Update recovery image to use I9103ZCLD4 recovery kernel.
So right now, it should be okay for you guys to install superuser from the market. And yea, enjoy the fun of using a rooted kernel.
Installation guide
---------------------------------------------------
Just flash the tar.md5 file via odin in the PDA tab.
---------------------------------------------------
To get rooted, just install superuser from the market. su binary is already put in the ramdisk to use.
Download : Revoked as the 1.2a causes problem on installing application
btw, since Rev 1.2a, my kernel will be called Ultimate kernel instead of Unknown kernel. I will add a string to build number to identify that later.
Back on working on XW build now.
UnknownzD if I knew that you would join our community I would think twice before I traded my SGR. You're really reviving and boosting development here. Great job!
It's really good to see SGR finally getting some real piece of android cake.

Great to hear, that you support us with stuff for i9103
Do you maybe know how to get bln (backlight LED notification) mod for the kernel, for using bln control on the i9103?
It would be so great to get bln for the galaxy r like sg2 or lg optimus

A minor update has been released.
In this new r1.2a kernel release,
- Boosted the performance by using several specific linker and gcc options
- Updated to use I9103ZCLD4 kernel src instead

nice work....actually I'm also making a kernel like this for purumod btw, where is the source?
HERE'S THE INFO
Downloading Sources
1. Download Samsung Source from https://opensource.samsung.com/
2. If you download from https://opensource.samsung.com/ then you will not have the initramfs.
3. To get stock initramfs, you need to extract it from one of the stock kernel(I will explain it later).
have you thought about helping with the kernel 3.0 project?

Not necessary, because those features are only included in the "initramfs" folder...but if he start to add features that are included in the "Kernel", then the source is required.
What about the features he is planning to add? I guess I bunched them together

am using ecliar sources for the ecliar
actually i incorporated all the changelog of moikop's kernel in my version 1.0

CPU clock and most clock sources
Kernel init
initramfs init
MTD
Most of OneNAND (read works, but no write/erase
JPEG drivers
What needs to be done:

As mentioned by Hill, we wont be able to use ODIN to flash our ROMS anymore while using 3.4 Kernels, so what are the other ways to do it? Would it be simple like ODIN or not at all.

Hello guys,
This is a project I was working on for a kernel for our SGY.
I made it with a few things in mind:
>Improve it's performance
>Be universally compatible (after I nearly given up on trying to get a snappier CM11 and after the need for a snappier SGY, I decided to go back to GB. However, BML is terrible, and it is annoying to come back to. I decided to build a MTD kernel for Gingerbread then, and it works!)
>Experiment and upgrade as much as I can (thanks @robcore!!!!)
But since I lost my device, I cannot continue developing it. I am then releasing the source code (sorry, no flashable stuff, I deleted it long ago ) for any of you to continue(?) my work if your heart so desires.
If I ever get myself another SGY (or another BCM21553 device), I will gladly continue development (and support whoever does it too), but before I lose all my data and the kernel code alongside it, I am making it available.
This kernel features:
-OC up to 1040MHz (It's questionable even today if the bcm21553 OCs really work, but I tried hacking a way that works very similarly to MarocOS's one, maybe even better. Be warned though, the source around it is messy)
-GPU hacks for performance (Again, even I don't know if they do work, probably the values are just there to be seen, I'm not sure. I do know though that increasing the CPU speed will much likely increase the speed of V3D too)
-DVFS disabled (I found out DVFS is mostly the culpirit in the "832MHz crisis" where the kernel would forcefully scale itself to 832MHz, so I eliminated any reference to it in kernel code. Apparently DVFS on the processor is only available under the bcm21553 governor, but it is present on the other drivers as well. The idea for disabling DVFS came from my friend @robcore)
-A few additional governors and a buggy interactive governor (which is the default xd)
-MTD support for Gingerbread (Thanks Samsung Epic 4G! Although it only works on TouchWiz (I tried it with SL v2 and v2.1 and it works, but under NougatME(CM7) I got no success and loads of segfaults), it works ALMOST perfectly. See bugs for details )
-Some scraped source code from Samsung's FSR I found on the internet (barely compilable, though)
Bugs:
>Gingerbread version:
-IMEI won't appear in the Status screen, I also faced problems with non-working radio for calls. Data works just fine, but calling and receiving calls is unavailable. I believe it is EFS-related. My suggestion is backing up the EFS partition's file structure, then converting it to MTD, then restoring the backup.
-TWRP will crash and panic when exiting, a workaround is force rebooting
>ICS version:
-TWRP will crash and panic when exiting (I believe fixing it here will fix the bug above too)
>KitKat version:
-Flashing images fail randomly, you may also be unable to reboot normally if you do so. I tried addressing this but I couldn't get anywhere.

Thanks to:
@robcore - his development on the Snapdragon S4 breathes life on my dev soul!
@zman0900 - I saw his thread on an MTD TW kernel for the Samsung Epic 4G, which led me to believe MTD on GB is possible.
nice kernel
It sound nice. I'm a newbie developer, I'm building a kernel to fix audio bug on cm9, hope it work. And thank you for the source

Have you gathered enough info on it? I would like to fix it too, but I couldn't get any info on whether if the audio bug is a kernel-side issue or an OS -side issue.
Best of luck for you
Building and fixing

I don't sure so I decided to build a kernel from your source and another cm9 version from Mohamad.Afaneh's source and I'll merge the audio on both of them for the best think to fix the bug.Thank you .
Link for kernel?

He wrote a script already, just add your toolchain and run the script. There's a guide in the readme

Ok. The watson-kernel-bcm21553-src is used with other files?
Because i want to make cm9 mohhamad afaneh optimized version

To make it, you have to sync the cm9 source code then add the files from his github to your localmanifest. This thing is not in anyway related to that except the MTD. This one is a kernel-compile only source
Oh man, i give up. I can't build a kernel from source, but i can modify a kernel.
Can someone give me the zimage for ics Please....

zlimage? We don't have that here, we only have boot.img for kernel

Or you can give me the extracted boot.img files. (ICS/KK)
I will rebuild it using dsixda's android kitchen.

Sorry but I can't because I'm bored of making ROMs so I switched back to Windows. I'm planning on making a ROM, I'll compile the kernel for you once I get linux installed

Sorry but I can't since my sgy is dead for a long time ago. I'll try to make one if I can find one. I've heard that there are some places that sell sgy for about 5 bucks, i'll find one ì possible
Be fast bro!!
