Do you mean a github repo?
I have a wip kernel port to 2.6.35.7, but it still doesn't boot yet. So it wouldn't be very helpful. There is a bali 2.6.32.9(?) floating around somewhere. But I'm sure you can find it by searching the forum.

Yeah thats what I mean. I guess the only thing that matters for the ROM to work is the kernel. Right? That would mean I could build a ROM from a different repo and then just flash the kernel? And would the kernel work for ICS or JB? Thanks
And im guessing your talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663622

[DEV][TEAM WX435] Triumph Kernel Thoughts

All,
Since we are working as a DEV team now I wanted to share a PM I had with another DEV on the board about our Kernel. I hope this can assist some others that have more experience with the Kernel like b_randon
g60madman said:
subpsyke,
I would love to upgrade our kernel for the Motorola Triumph. How did you go about figuring which Code Aurora vanilla kernel to start with? I took over development for CM7 from Whyzor and would be interested in your methodology.
Thanks in advance,

1. I unpacked the original Huawei source to one directory, and downloaded the CodeAurora kernel to another.
2. I used the release tags as a reference: https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/froyo_almond
https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/froyo
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=tags
3. I reverted the codeaurora repository to tag releases (e.g.: git reset --hard M76XXTSNCJNLYA6010) and compared the result via "diff urN" and meld. I knew I was getting closer when you get a smaller diff in the patch size, and used meld to see if the differences were likely to be Huawei's additions vs. CodeAurora's changes. It was only after going forward and backwards between tags was I sure of the proper baseline.
I performed the same discovery process with the Samsung kernel for my GT-I5500, which used M76XXTSNCJNLYA6040 as a baseline.

Sweet thanks! I will check it out and see what I can do

subpsyke said:
No problem
I forgot to mention the last steps:
4. Once you establish the baseline, create a new branch: git checkout -b newbranch
5. Overlay the changes from the vendor to a new commit*:
cp ~/blah/vendorkernel/ . ; git add . ; git commit -m "Initial import of vendor changes".
6. Once you've commited the vendor changes, you can use "git merge origin/froyo_almond" to move from the baseline to a newer revision. The froyo_almond branch is most suitable, as it's locked at 2.6.32, and the development focus seems to be on the msm7k chipset series. You could try updating to the android-msm-2.6.32 kernel, but it has more significant changes that will require adaptations of the board file, and may not be worthwhile, as development focus seems to be on newer chipsets.
7. Inevitably you'll get merge conflicts, as more than likely some vendor commits may interfere with upstream changes. For this, you'll need to use your own discretion in fixing up the code. I use the "git mergetool", with meld configured as my default editor, and manually checked all the conflicts.
Good luck!
*You may also want to fix up permissions etc., if your vendor source comes from a zip tarball. But it's purely cosmetic.

So is almond the best flavor to start with. I have been using MSM/QSD for a while and in when TickerGuy originally created our device files for cm7 he listed in the readme
CAF information:
Branch: froyo_pumpkin
Tag: M7630AABBQMLZA2030
Didn't know if I should start with pumpkin or use almond. Let me know what you think?
Thanks again for the info!

subpsyke said:
Hmm... if your phone really has a msm7630 chipset, then yes, you should probably go for the froyo_pumpkin branch. The froyo_almond branch is only for the msm7627 and qsd8650 chipsets.

g60madman said:
Well thats the stupid thing, since the beginning we have used always used msm7x30 for our board config, But our stock ROM from Virgin Mobile the config was msm7k in the build.prop. However if you hit the Motorola Dev our pone clearly states Qualcomm MSM8655. I am leaning towards using the almond branch would that be correct?

subpsyke said:
According to wikipedia, it's MSM8655.
Look at the table here: https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/
The froyo_almond supports qsd8650, and froyo_pumpkin supports qsd8650a_st1x. I honestly have no idea what the difference is, but it's within the realm of possibility that your phone's chipset is that odd revision on the pumpkin branch.
If your kernel is using a pumpkin baseline, then you should continue along the same branch.

(The froyo_almond supports qsd8650, and froyo_pumpkin supports qsd8650a_st1x.) Is this the difference between the Photon 4G which has a WiMax radio in it, and the Triumph which does not include a 4G radio? <--- nvm when they came out I had heard they were the same phone except 4G, apparently the Photon is a Tegra 2 device.
Okay so after looking into code Aurora more, as soon as I get my Ubuntu back up I am going to work on a vanilla froyo 2.6.32.9 kernel by using the froyo_pumpkin branch on the tag Karl gave us. Once I do that and have a commit that adds in Motorola changes, I am going to use the gingerbread_rel branch to try to get a 2.6.35 kernel booting on the phone, then use the ics_chocolate_rb7 branch to hopefully get the 3.x kernel.booting. those branches all seem to have the best support for msm7630 chipsets which I believe is the closest to the msm8655 chip only that it is clocked at 800mhz instead of 1ghz. If anyone else can lend any advice or help it would be swell!!

I know you have moved on from the MT. Currently I have taken over development for CM7 from Whyzor and had a question for you.
When you designed the original device files you listed in the readme:

Is that really our branch from MSM/QSD? I know the phone has the MSM8655 chip. So I'm just trying to figure out why we use msm7x30 for the board configuration and not say msm7k or qsd8k?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

So I think it's safe to say the route you are taking the right route. Also when building the Kernel do not forget to merge in the Wyzor fixes for the Video as I am using the new Andreno drivers. Just an FYI.
Yeah I will on the cm7 kernel. As of right now I'm gonna try to get a stock froyo kernel booting off code Aurora sources then go ffrom there.

Also you don't need to download the pumpkin branch simple download the kernel
git clone git://codeaurora.org/kernel/msm.git
git reset --hard M7630AABBQMLZA2030
The M7630AABBQMLZA2030 is the pumpkin branch and that should take us back to the vanilla kernel
Here is the pastebin link for the warning I was getting from the linker during the build of the code Aurora kernel.
http://pastebin.com/GLMBSz26
You can look at the kernel source on my github. Its the froyo pumpkin kernel repo.
The warnings cone from the gcc linker saying that it's trying to link a non executible section in built-in.o
I'm not sure where to start looking for the issue at. If anyone can lend any insight I would be grateful!

I switched to the gcc 4.3.1 toolchain included with the cm7 source and it booted up. Worked just as good as the stock kernel. I'm gonna have to see why the newer toolchains are not compiling it right. I use linaro 4.6 on bKernel froyo which is based off motos source. So I don't see why it wont build this code right. But at least I got one to boot! !!

Thanks. Now lets try to move on up to 2.6.35. My idea is to make a different patch between 2.6.32.9 and 2.6.35.7 and maybe that will simplify updating it. I'm not sure which gingerbread branch I'm gonna use for the 2.6.35 kernel!

If you don't mind me asking, how is it that the 'UXCLF5' Kernel works with the AT&T 'Skyrocket' variant phones? I thought the Rogers & AT&T phones were slightly different, just as the international version's hardware is different. Correct me if I'm wrong!
This is all new to me as I'm just beginning to understand what's going on here, and I'm very interested in delving into custom ROM development.

Back to Mohan's Cymbaline 1.3.
Can someone conform that bootanimation are working. I can't make them work. I make ton of them and have knowlage how to but on unsecure or stock no go on bootanimation.
Sean, how difficult would it be to put certain working files from Kernels like CymBaline (or the source it was built from) and inject them into a kernel like the one in this thread? Basically fixing the issues that still exist in the skyrocket kernels. Would having the source code from the Cymbaline build, but not from the syrocket build be an opstical? I am just wondering if it could be done. TIA.
Yes and no. But It wouldnt be from ice source. Ics nor ics source Has been released,yet. Or well ..its complicated..

Hopefully the kernel devs are not givin up
Since this is a GB kernel, it should be simple, assuming you know how to recompile a kernel from source, just to grab the OC etc routines out of one of AntonX's or bhundven's kernels and then just stick them in and recompile. Since everyone is using the same kernel so far this would only need to be done once. This erzatz ICS is slow and sure could use OC, more governors etc.
I added smartassv2 last night, but want to get a "clean" build off the AOKP tree and have a few days running it before I release it to the wilds.

Download his rom unzip it grab the boot.img and flash it with heimdall. Then grab the wifi module(bcm4329 I think is the name lol) and push it to the same place u got it from (/system/lib/modules/)
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible neither is thomasraines or xda if you brick your device you are doing this on your own free will. The only thing you can say is how awesome thomas is for creating this and how awesome I am for uploading and writing directions. Any blame will result in me pointing and laughing uncontrollably.
Files removed thomsasraines posted the kernel in the dev section it can be found there. Please visit his thread and follow what he posted so you can get the full effect ok? If not tough I aint re upping the files .
Click the statement above for direct route to the kernel thread.
Unzip the bcm4329.ko, xda wouldnt let me upload a .ko file .
Put the bcm4329.ko file on your sdcard. Then using something like root explorer copy it to /system/lib/modules folder.
I suggest renaming the old one to bcm4329.ko.bak just in case.
Using heimdall you can flash the kernel using the following command.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
This is from terminal in ubuntu or cmd in windows. Make sure you are running the commands from the folder you put the boot.img in.
Once the phone reboots pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and run fix permissions. Then reboot.
so what will this do again? Is this for a kernel different than the kj6 one?
If you are unsure of what it is for then dont attempt the steps.
Do some more reading.

[Q] Cyanogenmod: Safe to flash a Kernel...?

Hi everyone,
I know this is probably a really nooby question, but im running the most recent nightly of cyanogenmod and i noticed it has its own kernel under About Phone. I would like to use faux kernel instead. Is it safe to flash faux kernel over the top of it or will it mess things up? Thanks guys!
All ROMs have kernels. They can't work without one so this makes the rules of changing kernels with cm no different from any other Rom.
You're right though, it's a really nooby question. I'm not trying to offend but not knowing this means you're not ready for flashing kernels. Please read the sticky threads in Q&A and general to bump your knowledge up to the next level first
Fyi, cm use CAF kernels only so you can only Flash CAF kernels.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
you can flash any kernel you want.. but it doesnt mean that itll run. cyanogenmod uses caf for source, the moved away from aosp. so you can flash and run kernels based in caf, not aosp. faux kernel is an aosp kernel, so if you flash it you wont boot up.
Yeah, but only flash kernels for the n5. Flashing something else can brick it. If it's a caf based rom flash a caf kernel.

Ive read the stickies. I wanted to be cautious because im new to cyanogen and i didnt wanna mess anything up. I was using Cataclysm with Faux so I didnt need to know about CAF kernels back then. Thanks for your help anyway

you can flash any kernel you want.. but it doesnt mean that itll run. cyanogenmod uses caf for source, the moved away from aosp. so you can flash and run kernels based in caf, not aosp. faux kernel is an aosp kernel, so if you flash it you wont boot up.

Yeah, but only flash kernels for the n5. Flashing something else can brick it. If it's a caf based rom flash a caf kernel.
