ATTENTION DEVELOPERS AND ROM COOKS - Miscellaneous Android Development

It has come to my attention that roms are being released without Kernel source coded being provided. As per XDA rules and XDA policy please post links to the source code to the kernel included in the rom. If the OEM doesnt provide the source code for their Stock kernel they are in violation of the GPL and in turn Roms for those devices will not be allowed on XDA.

Ok now that I gave this a day and see it has been seen by many take this as a fair warning.
Threads are to be updated with kernel source links with in 48 hours or the threads will be closed and all links will be removed.
This is not debatable.

I have a question...
As android is open source... Any one can use its source and make his/her own stuff... What i read is that Linux kernel is licensed under Apache license and anyone can use the source and the new source the developer make are his own now and depends on him if he wants to share it with someone else or not... Like miui is closed source... They don't share there source and also OEM's like Samsung and HTC don't share all source... So why is it so compulsory for devs to post there source?
I am not sure where i am wrong... I am not offending xda rules... I am just asking what i am missing here... So please correct me where i am wrong...
Thank you...

The Linux kernel is licensed under the GPL license not the Apache. Only the kernel source code is required to be posted.

This is for only those roms which are compiled from source... You can't post source of kernel if your rom is stock... But if you compiled kernel from source... The kernel you used in you custom rom then post source for the kernel in your rom thread...

This is not so. The kernel source HAS to be made available. If the OEM doesnt provide the kernel source then no rom for that device will be allowed. OEMs post the source code for their kernels. Well most do anyway, the ones that dont are in violation of the GPL laws.

For my device Micromax A110...Kernel Sources arent released and they wont but its clone device "Mobistel Cynus T2" released Kernel Source...So is that enough??
One Kernel was compiled using it....
And if yes,i will notify Micromax A110 Forum Developers about it :laugh: Sorry if i am disturbing

What ever kernel is in the rom that is posted must have available kernel source. If roms are using the stock kernel and no sources are available then it will be removed. If it is using a custom kernel based on the clone source and a link to the source can be provided then that is fine. But the source MUST match the kernel in the rom.

Ok,Will let them know...Thanks for letting me know..Bro.. ​

Ok guys I have given plenty of time on this, and will still work with people but com the middle of next week I will be going to each thread and if the thread doesnt have the proper kernel links The thread will be closed and all links will be removed.

But Our phone manufacturers doesn't provided d kernel source...
so is that our fault??
So If u don't want d violation of GPL..and XDA rules..
then Send official notice to Phone manufacturers or phone company who release their phones without kernel sources...
Why closing our thread???
So we should consider now that..
we r being pushed out of our favorite Home..i.e. Xda..???????

I am doing what I can to help with the source code for the kernels.
You have 2 choices if no source is available le. Remove the kernel or the thread will be removed.

Then who would I contact about the kernel source code for the devices. It is required by law that upon request the device OEM has to provide the source code. If they refuse Google can and has revoked the rights to use Android. Please provide me with who I must get into contact with concerning this.
I would suggest as many people that can do the same as I am doing.

Next I await their reply about who to contact about it. I would advise people to start emailing them. Maybe drop a few tech sites the info and see if they will run a story about it. I am not saying spam the site. But don't just accept what they say. Push the issue.

Unified Github for Galaxy Y

Hello Everybody,
I am new to these forums but I have seen the efforts to port cm7, cm9, etc to our device.
The ports so far are great, but there are major bugs though, which cannot be fixed.
Compiling from source is the way forward for us.
A few days ago I tried a test build of cm9 but it would not boot.
The problem was because there is no device tree on github for our device.Something like "android_device_samsung_totoro". There are two or three but those are incomplete.
So....
GITHUB REPOS FOR GALAXY Y
http://github.com/GT-S5360
All devs are invited to create and collaborate.
This will create a central resource system forum which anyone can fork, clone, sync, and improve the sources.
Those who want to add a repo can email me at [email protected]
Now,
For development(compile, debug, etc) we need two things:
1. The android source (any flavor)
2. Device File Tree (eg. "android_device_samsung_totoro")
Two teams should be formed for these two tasks, and the second task must be completed fast. An ideal example of this would be here:
github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_cooper
complete with an extract-files.sh
This unified github will help us bring AOSP, AOKP, CM7, CM9 and whatnot to our galaxy y.
Please pm me if you are interested for development, and we could form a team and collaborate to speed up work, that is to say compiling.

Trying to port kernel 3.0 for i9003, please help

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.

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).

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!!!!!!

[SOURCE]Full AOSP tree + proprietary source

https://github.com/aquila-dev/mt6577_FULL_AOSP_SOURCE
Just.. enjoy
The device tree is on mediatek/config
The kernel is a 3.0.13 one
This is ICS 4.0.4 aosp
Use the makeMtk command to build an image
I didn't post it on "A110 Original Android Development" category because it's not an original source... it has been leaked from an other device "mytqu-832" codename baoxue.
I found it after many hours of searching in mediatek leaked documents on chinese website (i don't speak chinese [neither read]).. then i searched on github by taping the localpath of a mediatek specific config file.. and found that ! :3
And because all smartphones are now just SoC.. a lots of things (if not everything) found here should perfectly work on a110 and king.
[EDIT: March 2014]
Github restore my repo (so the first link works again) o/ I absolutly don't know why, but that's great !
If needed varunchitre15 forked it:
https://github.com/varunchitre15/mytqu-832
PREVIOUS EDIT:
The repo has been take down by a DMCA request..
And since the complete folder takes 8GB and my upload is at 60kB/s... this will take a long to reupload it.
I juste take the most interesting part (mediatek folder) which takes 800MB uncompressed, and it's already on mega:
https://mega.co.nz/#!BwZ1iT6B!JJp9Q2FCATKEaTWWWRI85RE-tJU_fp-S4XYXtHp5QVY
(use 7zip to extract it.. i think it should work)
The other parts (kernel/framework/prebuilt/external) will follow soon.. (3.2GB compressed to upload, will take something like 15hours to upload..)
PS: PLEASE !!!! if u're porting cyanogen and you already made significant work on the port.. (like a bootable build) Send me a message, i'm very busy, i can't work for it, but keep interrest for it. Please also don't send me private message like "how to compile the kernel.."
Well done, for finding this... will be helpful .. :thumbup:

I'm asking it bcoz only ALPS builds supports dual sims(i think).
Also baidu.com hosted several files on setting up the ALPS build environment......
You seem to be good in finding stuff
Will be useful in building CM9
See if you can find JB sources as well
Btw if you find kernel sources for MT6589, you can pm me
I am planning to buy the Micromax A116 but only if I get sources

Why are you cloning it in windows bro?? We can't cross-compile Android in Windows environment....
Get a Linux distro and clone it there........

Btw any update abt jb release?
They just are waiting for google agreement..
@aquila-dev
we are also patiently waiting for the release of these kernel sources.
in order to fix some of the bugs with the cynus t2 rom on our phones, the a919.
specifically the accelerometer, gyroscope and the proximity sensors.
aquila, does the cynus t2 jb rom fully work on the cink king? without any sensor issues?

I hope there is a serious issue going around this forum,you guyz know that MMX is now selling canvas2 with jb out of the box.
You guyz @Dark4Droid @BOND1987 @sagarwep @andiroxu @bsuhas @mufti.arfan @bindassdost @khan_frd2002 @pratikmore @mmxandy @superdragonpt @varun.chitre15 and many more did a fantastic job by bringing the 4.2 to our device which was an almost impossible.
The issue is now the new canvas2 with 4.2 installed is not having a working rear cam.
As this is a forum for our beloved device we don't have a seperate section for the latest canvas2 variant,actually many users are suffering because of this and also many users will buy canvas2 in future.
I know that MMX don't care about even announcing the changes they made to the device as they always do,so as you devs are the only responsible for the miracle happened and happening to our device in this forum,so please kindly address this issue so that this forum may have many upcoming canvas2 supporters who buys the phone in future.
My kind request to users who have the canvas2 with rear cam not working to post a log cat while opening your camera in 4.2,so that it will be easy to find the actual issue.
You users can make this thread active by responding with proper log cats.its in your hands.
Thank you,
Showstopper1
Most probably it's an Kernel issue.
And the best guy for the Job is @varun.chitre15, he haves an deep know how, of your kernel/phone, and he is the Best guy in your community for fixing kernel issues.
However, if i was him, i would leave your community, as you have NO respect for him and his work.
Another guy, just tooked his patches from his ThunderZap kernel, and claim as it was ALL his work.
Even after his Kernel thread got closed, and all the Moderation warnings/edits you (the MMX community) are still distributing "his" Kernel on this foruns, and in your FB Group (yes i know, im part of your FB Group too...).
Where's the respect ?
B.Regards

This is a kernel issue, or maybe .. if we get the new system modules from these "new" models, it may help in solving it , since I beleive that front cam is already working?
Please find the solutin we need must waiting for resolution.... of cam

Yes,Sir Only front cam is working on new canvas 2 with fixed 4.2 roms on new canvas 2
Let's see what will happen in future!!
Where can we get system modules,by unpacking kernel??

ok,so we need to use stock jelly bean rom or the device should have it preloaded with jb out of the box??

The pre loaded one, and it's kernel compilation time, if that will be different than our it means kernel is new. If it's same then we can try libs from it, if that doesn't work either then its a hardware thingy.

Dear @superdragonpt
Who are you to say such a things? Are you moderator or administrator of the thread/forum? Who gave you such a right to make decision who is wrong and who is right? If you and others have such a soft corner of the people here then why not solving their problem promptly and answer me or anyone by your work. You say I theft the patches from thunderzap then tell me if he has produced all the codes/patches by his own. Buddy I think you have no knowledge of kernel development and you are giving such a stupid comments here. All the patches are there on GitHub and kernel.org. Now not uploading kernel sources is my problem. Why I am not uploading is to me and not your pain to take.
Moreover people like you are not obeying forum rules and you are openly discussing the out the thread discussions openly rather then sending a PM. It's you who started and that's why I am writing here otherwise I too like to PM the things first. So stop this nonsense wise-man.

New mmx have slight hardware change i guess or the kernel issue some one needs to share their device(or system libs) here so that devs can make a change

Yes you are right. I need specs and made for camera in new models because without that no one can help or need sources which are not released by MMX yet.
Anyone kindly give the manufacturer name of camera. It can be known by using Andromizer app on xda or any app from play store which gives full hardware information.

@superdragonpt & @andiroxu Stop it friends....Dont fight... Just understand we are fighting for Cheap[i didnt mean price] device.... Human relations is far better than Device Relations... I know i got plenty of friends because of MMX C2.... But Why fight for it? I agree both Varun and andiroxu have their own capablities,better leave them alone...
And @superdragonpt : Any Add-ons for 4.2 ? :laugh: More ROM's are on NR... I am using Xperia Messaging app on 4.2 :angel:

Derp, so you mean to say that the patches I merged have got no contribution of mine?
Certainly they were taken from mainline but from what you posted I can surely tell that the 3.4.69 upgrade you claim to is nothing other than a gimmick which just involves only bumping the makefile version staging just as doing the very famous fake build.prop Android version trick. I hope you don't come out with a Linux Kernel 4.0 from your closed shell someday. If you have really upgraded it to mainstream, then prove it. You made this comment because you never really upgraded your kernel because if you did, you would have known what conflict resolution is and how much efforts it involves. Wait I will step down one level for you. So you have got problem for uploading your sources no? Come on then show me output of
Code:
git rev-list HEAD --count
using screen capture. I have no business with whether you upgraded your kernel or not but I am really interested to see that screenshot.
2. Now regarding stealing my work, yes you did that. Because usage of someone's work which plays an important role, without their permission is defined as stealing. And you know very well that the Mediatek vermagic hack which force loads all modules, the authorization of which I keep with me, is what you have merged without prior intimation to me or any acknowledgement. Now don't make me to reveal everything in public.
And why not discuss this in public? So people won't know about your deeds?
I really need to see your sources now because I have understood what kind of game you are playing, I am not sure what all stuff you took from ThunderZap because even undervolting commit belongs to me.
P.S: Users should really stay away from this because this matter is not as simple as it appears. There is a lot you all don't know about this which happened under the hood.
Edit: I really don't understand in what sense comment of @superdragonpt sounds like a moderator?

Buddy, let me tell you this:
Im not an MOD, but i can't stand people that STEALS, other's work, And what's worse is that he is CLAIMING it is his work.
You don't understand what we are talking about, and that's normal, the "normal" xda user don't understand this things, but believe me i know.
The normal xda user, just want RESULTS, and don't care about GPL and credits, and dont even imagine HOW MUCH WORK was involved.
The normal xda user, just come here, download and thats it!
@andiroxu Yes you have stolen varun's work. and you should be an shame of yourself.
Come on prove that im wrong, and upload your kernel sources...
But PLEASE don't repeat tha same trick you've done in your kernel thread when you uploaded FAKE sources.
I didnt wanted to come in public with this statments, i dont even own an micromax phone (my phone is an ZTE), but if there is something that gets on my nerves is this things.
I have an DEEPLY RESPECT with all the work that @varun.chitre15 have done, just like every other dev.
These devs are the reason we have custom roms and kernels, as an alternative to our stock ones.

^^ THIS.

Device tree, vendor files.

Hi, I'm currently trying to build AOSP for our device from source however I cannot figure out how to add device support, I've followed so many guides on editing the local_manifests.XML but I can't seem to get it to work.
Can any of our devs explain to me how to build AOSP with the addition of our device support? I'm not entirely worried about kernel ATM as our source was released so I will build that.
I just can't for the life of me add device support properly.. Could anyone link me to a guide or some other stuff to read? Google is very unhelpful when googling Linux related issues.
Edit - to clear up any confusion bottom line as of right now I basically need to know how to implement the device tree we already do have (several github links, mainly cm based) into my AOSP source.
Would I just technically copy the files into Google's already created device/vendor/ folders?
https://source.android.com/source/add-device.html using this link as reference. May be very bland.

Try building CyanogenMod instead. They have device specific instructions!

Ya you can dl the source for both the device and vendor ........copy them over to the source and you shouldn't have a problem

Fair enough. I imagine as he posted this 6 months ago, he has been successful in his attempts!
