If, and when, we get the ICS kernel source from HTC, will this help us develop jelly bean roms for our device? Are the kernels going to be built with like the same infrastructure so that ICS drivers will work on the jelly bean roms?
that is an excellent question. I was wondering the same myself. My guess is that we would have to have a new kernel source for Jelly Bean due to the new "project butter" stuff. It involves different gpu and cpu rendering that I can't help but to think that it requires a completely reworked kernel.
Edit:
Yeah I forgot about butter.
But we'll have kernel source and JB source too so we can compare them.

Hi guys,
I search a kernel as last release marmite kernel, it's fantastic and there are more free ram with CM10.1
Now, the kernel is based on 4.2.2 so the MIUIv5 is based on 4.1.2 and the kernel doesn't boot device.
The MIUIv5 is the best ROM IMHO, but for low ram on Nexus S the device have obvious lag on UI, now, there is a kernel as marmite for ram for 4.1.2?

I have Xperia Miro I want to upgrade it to kitkat but officially it haven't been released for Xperia miro so what i have to do to get my miro upgraded
Hi @Jayesh4all
Since there isn't an official Kitkat update for your device released, your only resort is to use custom firmware. It seems there are Alpha Cyanogenmod 11 builds for this device.
What is Cyanogenmod?
Code:
CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors.
CyanogenMod is based of AOSP and is the closest you'll come to stock Android. Bear in mind that this build is still in Alpha stages and will be buggy.
This is the only way you can use Android KitKat on you Xperia Miro.
Cheers!

thanks alot for your help :laugh:
so which would be better for now Kitkat or Jelly bean and if i update to jelly bean will i be able to upgrade to kilkat in future ??
This: {MIRO/TIPO/J/E}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM10 - FreeXperia Project seems to be the least buggy CyanogenMod build. Yes there is a good chance that they resolve the bugs for the CM11 ( Kitkat ) build and make it fully usable.
Cheers!
Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.
Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.
Hi guys!I want to become an android developer and I know about the AOSP project,but I have not found based of android versions.I want worker on ICS ROM for galaxy pocket(GT-S5300)or cyanogenmod 9,but on a "pure"ROM,without any modification,like nexus android version,for worked on it and optimize for any devices.
1)How I can optimized an android version like Nexus devices for a specific device?
2)Where I can download the necessary for a ROM or a ROM to be optimized?
Thanks
Simply start by downloading cori's source and aosp android of your choice, then edit & merge things from source to aosp then compile.
Can complie CM11 and so on from source without problems, now i thought to complie AOSP but the device aren't supported anymore.
After Android 4.3 google stops the support, so just have official sources and drivers from them and from CM1X and OmniRom.
Is it possible to complie AOSP kitkat or lollipop with the sources i have?
Its interessting to know it and try it on my own...
Maybe anyone have an idea how could i made it, every hint are welcome.
