Where's the kernels? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I figured there would be kernels flying out without kexec now that we are unlocked. I haven't seen any pop up.am i overlooking them?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Imoseyon has one for AOSP that's non kexec, and his beta 0.2 TW kernel is being worked on and it'll be non kexec as well.

patience is a virtue?
I mean, its been two days.
The developers here have real jobs, families, and lives.
I appreciate anything they can push out, and yes waiting is a pain but I will wait.
After all, they never force me to pay, and give a lot to everyone.

Thanks.i was going for a tw kernel. Good to hear one on the way.

dude its been two days lol it takes a lot of work to develop a quality product. patience is the key. i am almost certain that since many developers were avoiding this phone because of the locked bootloader, this forum will explode with new products within a week or two and this device will get the support it deserved!

i realize it's been 2 days. I don't know what was involved with kexec. But i just figured it would be simple to delete the code and build a new kernel. I'm just used to the fascinate days with devil and glitch kernels. If a new feature was not playing nice sometimes it would take an hour for a new build to come up with it stripped out. I realize we were spoiled .

No.
Kexec isn't something that just galaxy s3 phones have used, it is a very old solution to a stubborn problem of flashing firmware on computing devices.
So the roms themselves from what I've learned today need to have no kexec dependencies too, therefore the rom itself needs to be able to boot from a "normal" kernel.
There is a decent wikipedia article that doesn't get incredibly technical, I suggest you read it. The first paragraph explains exactly what's happening succinctly and quickly:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec

Nothing new I'm afraid, at least not until developers get their hands on RIL sources. Until then, AOSP roms will lack data/connectivity (to my knowlegde).
What does that take thought that was included in the kernel??

Need an official build to be released by Verizon so they release source.
makes sense to a point... how is it that the epic for example didn't have a official source until a couple weeks ago had all kinds of roms g.b froyo themes etc.. but we don't is it cause they have a lot more knoledgable devs over there or is there something i am missing....
I was wondering about some more versions of the 2.3.6, any word? Love humble 5.0 though

With the speed and timing that leaks are being released, the devs don't want to spend the time to update every week. It is a lot of work porting a rom up to a new leak, just to have it happen again the week after. The # of devs is the charge community is small, and this is just due to luck. Maybe once the source gets released, and now that the charge is FREE with contract, we may see a influx of new people and possible devs. Until then, just cool your jets, and use whats available.

Yeeeeah, I don't know that we'll see many more devs jumping on the Charge Train. But we've got a pretty good thing going on here... we've got Gummy, Infinity, and Humble, plus a slew of Froyo ROMs to choose from. Like you said, with the timing of the leaks, anyone who is devving for the Charge is waiting on something to go Gold and come OTA. Once source is released, we'll have everything we need. At that point, there's a good chance we score CM7 (hopefully CM9 as well).
I'm still using Gummy FE and loving it. The only thing I wish I had right now and don't is a FlatBlack themed Swype for the 3.26 Beta. Anyone know how to theme that bastard yet? I know that there are some .9's that exist but I'm curious to know if anyone can charge the trace color, etc.
This makes me wanna jump ship other than the very helpful and knowlegable members here crossing my fingers for a galaxy s 2 or maybe ill just buy a unlocked one not sure yet

I'm glad you asked. Nope to both questions. Have a good day.
I think there are hybrids that get close to CM7 but I doubt you will see ics, most of the developers will have upgraded phones by then so why would they bother working on it.....I think ppl are trying but it's a long shot to get to cm9

There's some very good work being done towards getting CM7 working. A CM7 port using Samsung's proprietary BML partition layout is pretty close, but a CM7 port using the open source MTD layout, which is much easier to manage, is not near.
I think everyone would prefer, for the ease of simplicity of future porting efforts, to get MTD functioning on the SGS4G before tackling CM9/ICS.
I'm working on an ics hybrid now... I've got it to boot but still very unstable. It reboots about every 10 seconds or so... just have patience...

Oooo.... I want to hang out at your Github.
Every time I see one of these threads, I wonder why anyone wants ics or cm# so badly. VB rocks enough for me... Can't see ics being that much better. Just my opinion.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Hi P06o
It's not that our ROMs don't rock, it's just that they're not perfect. They have their issues and they are full of Sami ****, not included in AOSP ROMs such as ICS, CM7/CM9. These ROMs are faster and lighter, not to mention having bigger customization and locality support.

So first off!! HI.... again. don't remember my old log in.
i was curious about this too.
why is it that the captivate and the vibrant have ICS ROM's, but not the SGS4g?
my SGS4g isn't going to stick with me much longer, but was just wondering the details on it.
mainly out of curiosity for me.

I'm a one man wolf-pack. Other phones have many developers. A few people are helping out, but forward progress still takes time.
The phone is newer then the vibrant. Not even sk4g has ics. It takes time to make software work correctly.
I would be more curious of what your old login was...

[Feeler] Flash and forget ROM?

I'm thinking of building a ROM of sorts, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in it.
The ROM would basically be what i run on a daily basis. A combination of a ROM and Kernel that work well together, with my own tweaks, changes, and settings baked right into it.
The idea would be that you would flash the rom, then forget you ever did. No changing frequency, no profiles, no Undervolting, no flashing other kernels, just the ROM and nothing else needed. (and I'd discourage trying it)
I would change UV settings to work on most phones, and a small overclock (most likely a 1.1 or 1.2Ghz), as well a stock Frequency/Voltage version. and each version would be stable enough to use as a daily driver.
It would most likely be a 'Flavor of the week' kind of thing, and I'll most likely change the base rom/kernel somewhat frequently (like once a month at most) to what I'm using that's stable.
So, does this sound good to anyone, or am i building for a demographic that's not there?
I would use it if u make it for the photon
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
sounds like a great idea... in this trend of rapidly developing roms, a stable rom with recent source changes for a change is great to fallback to.
Do you have any rom development experience? where would you rate your skill level at?

Sounds like a really good idea, I myself sometimes get sick of constantly flashing & re- setting up my phone the way I like it, a good long term rom with everything would be awesome. How bout using the new 2.3.4 stock as a base?

ive been programming in C/java for about 4 years now, (2nd year programming student currently) and ive been building my personal roms from source for about 6 months, and in the past few months ive started actively changing source code, integrating parts from some kernels and ROMs, and adding things to system apps (like voltage control and frequency mod in the settings.apk)
however, on the other hand, i do have fairly large gaps in my knowledge. i only barely know how to use github, and i haven't really dealt with the Linux/android kernel much before this.
honestly, on a scale from 1-10 (1=android user, 10= developer like Whitehawkx/Morfic) id say about 7.

i feel im a very competent programmer, but there are thing i am pretty much oblivious too. outside of android I've got a good portfolio of programs and source, but when it comes to android, I'm still learning. (and i definitely feel your more knowledgeable than me)
Do it one more person helping the community isn't a bad thing. You're obviously knowledgeable enough. Once you start playing with it and have a base crowd that likes what you do you'll get further involved and make a great rom in my eyes. You're willing to help everyone and give a very insightful solution to most and all types of questions.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I agree with the above, but be weary of the people who destroy devs by all the nagging and begging.
Anticipating the arrival of this ROM!
I would do it. If you can base it off of stock with some cm7 improvements that would be cool, like with weapon g2x. I was using weapon till I switched to HFP.
Sent from my Handheld Portal Device
I will always support you, you always have long detailed responses to everyones questions and if anyone complains about your rom, let me know we will have a flame war. We don't want to lose a dev. Also I'm sure the other devs I'll help you out if you have any questions because they are all amazing people IMO. Go for it! Even if no one uses it, its a learning experience for you.

keep a lookout for it coming soon(ish)!
ive also asked a mod to lock this (i dont want a hype machine happening that i cant live up to!)
locked as requested!

Ok wait wait wait!! JellyBean for Infuse discussion

Ok if jellybean is only a minor update to ics and not a total update, couldn't we in a way have that on our Infuse? Just a guess and wonder because if that's true then our devs could once again stomp Sammy feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, it's just a guess after all.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
we will see in time. if the kernel end of it is close i think it can be done. the coming months will be exciting. the dev on this device has finally taken off. i know entropy works from source so it might take a bit of time before it becomes reality but i can't wait to see what happens. i just hope the new features dont bog the phone down, we are working with limited resources. i didn't think i'd be saying that any time soon since the market apps haven't really advanced but there is so much in the way of new interface features in jelly bean as far as multi tasking that it might be a ram hog and really benefit from multi core. it's possible jellybean will prompt me to get a newer phone but not imediately.
Your right only time will tell, but I see it as it may be able to be done because after all, everyone said we would never have working BT and now we do, people said the infuse would never see ICS and now we have a few ICS ROM's! I will never rule it out as impossible

there are hurdles but now there is experience and new understanding in the trouble areas. but it was the same way with the galaxy s and gingerbread. even though the hardware was almost identical to the nexus s it took much longer to get a release quality version of cm7 than most snapdragon powered devices, there were betas and early ports with no recovery mode done as proof of concept but the official release took some time. the filesystem, the bootloaders, and the way the kernel starts up is all different from the nexus and that took time to safely port. then with the infuse that was all figured out but the hardware kept throwing curveballs. i wasn't sure if we would see the day that bt was functional and hardware acceleration was working as it should but i felt we would see ics in some capacity since a lot of stuff can be emulated. now i think jellybean might happen but it might finally date the single core chip, single channel ram, and limited ram as multi tasking becomes better in android.

I read that someone is working on a port from the gnex to i9000 could we use that as a base?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
wouldn't it be better to wait for the nexus s dump, as that would be more identical and thus easier to port to GS1 devices?
*shrug*
yeah i think a nexus s port would be better but a source build is best. a port from a dump would likely be more proof of concept than a daily driver.
and as far as project butter goes, it might be a double edged sword. i'm sure the phone will continue to feel smooth for the average user but power users will multitask more. we may get more out of the phone than we have before but at the same time it might be easier to demonstrate the difference in newer devices. jelly bean might get the most out of the infuse but the infuse might not get the most out of jelly bean but i can be wrong on this. it's just opinion based on no real knowledge of how they plan to get smother performance or how that affects the resources the infuse has available....
Yea. it will only be a few weeks till source. And with the progress with ics I'm sure it won't take long to build. And entropy said he only builds from source. I'm sure he or nun would test it out.

Is any one still making roms for this device?

I know that making a rom takes a very long time but our device seems to only have 5-10 (maybe more) good/stable roms. every one else seems to be getting a lot more love. is it cause we have a miSense device?
Just because we don't have 30 CM9 roms with each a different name doesn't mean we don't have roms. It means we respect each others work and choose not to duplicate it and call it our own.

This. I honestly don't think we're lacking in types of rom that we have.
I mean, we have stock-tweaked, aosp, sense roms, CM roms, different versions of MIUI's. Hell, we even have JB in the making!
So, yes, they're still alive and making roms.
Well, the reason I don't complain is because I can't dev. There's just no time for it. Yeah I get jealous of other forums from time to time, but the alternative is learning how to make my own rom.
Better not to bite the hand that feeds you.
I personally think we have a group of great devs for this device who are very willing to share each others' work to benefit the community at large I am curious as to what TBalden has going right now cuz he's been awfully quiet lately.

I dont say much around here...but man oh man, i have to this time. First of all, a huge thanks to all the devs. I'd go by name but someone deserving would be left out...we may be short on kangs but we've got great roms. I'll take quality over quantity.
I had an ace previously. Dozens and dozens of roms, but they've just repeated themselves. There's only a handful of systems to be ported anyways.
Kernel development on this phone has been off the chains. Anything running on tbalden and kornyone's work has been smooth and slick.
Frankly, I knew when I got the phone that since sliders are kind of niche the scene would be smaller. Used the demo phone in the store to verify that cm was in a complete state. Which it most definitely is. Feeling pretty confidant that cm10/jb will reach completion.
Anyways, I'm probably gonna cry when this phone dies. Maybe you can sell me yours for a spare. Cuz if I ever have to turn mine in on insurance they'll probably try to hand me a different model.

It isn't anger you detect as much as it is frustration K7. What is plainly obvious to developers & other coders isn't so much to the rest of us just looking at the threads & available ROMs. I HAVE noticed though because of helping a friend out with an EVO 4G that many of the ROMs are little more than a redistributed but newly themed, customized & slightly altered versions of another popular ROM. Do that several times and you have 5 ROMs with little differences to the core program multiplied across 5 or 6 basic initial formats & you have plenty....kinda. If that was what was happening to the MT4Gs then we'd have 40+ ROMs 'listed' but few differences other than the new name.
This isn't meant to disparage any developers in other forums for other devices and it may very well be an isolated case but it is something I noticed.
Just my nickel's worth.....
I just don't understand the need to create new threads for topics that aren't new, insightful, or helpful

Ok so where all the couple rock solid ones? The closest I've found is virtuous inquisition and even that has been giving me all kinds of issues lately. I don't want more ROMS necessarily, just one, vanilla, zero issues rom and id stick with this phone the rest of the year.
