[KERNEL] "CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-msm7x27" 2.6.35.10 with improved touchscreen driver
Hi there!
Remember my touchscreen "fix" a long time ago?
Yes- it's been a long time but now I got Line Runner and I was unable to play it, so...
I wrote the "fix" down again to the newest Cyanogenmod Kernel.
That means:
- I took the source from git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-msm7x27.git
- rewrote the touchscreen driver
- made the default cyanogenmod thunderg config
- made the kernel
I use it with CM nightly and I think that Line Runner runs better now.
What does it do?
I "purged" the driver code (look here) and lowered the touchscreen scan rate to 50Hz (seems sufficient to me). So the cpu has more time to do other things.

I like to send the patch to the cyanogenmod maintainers- but I don't know how.
They use Gerrit, but I can't find lge-kernel-msm7x27 in Gerrit.

Maybe via github

Just a bit of code purging to unburden the cpu while touch polling.
No inversion fix (buy a new phone ).

Would be great if you keep developing on cm7 kernel

You can't flash it, it's the source code, you have to wait that any developer compiles IT.

[ROM][S4][JB 4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Ville

Hello, since CyanogenMod cannot be officially build and the official ones are outdated, I thought it might be helpful for someone to build and release it.
So i started syncing the repo and compiling, and right now i'm running the lastest daily build on my Ville.
This is just CyanogenMod. This is exactly how the official one would be.
Instructions
You need a custom recovery!
- Download ROM and GApps from below links
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash ROM
- Flash GApps
- To solve tearing, flash a custom kernel
If you're S-ON
- Extract boot.img from the ZIP of the kernel you're flashing
- Reboot into bootloader and select fastboot
- Connect it to the PC
- Run fastboot flash boot boot.img (where boot.img is the path of the boot.img file if it's not in the same folder)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Downloads
ROM - Get one from here or here
GApps - Download
CyanogenMod suffers from tearing. To fix this, you can flash a different AOSP kernel, like Bubba Kernel.

Hi,
thanks for the work! I also tried to build latest CM10.1 yesterday, however I failed to extract all the required blobs from my device. May I ask, which ROM you used to extract the blobs from? The latest officially build cm10.1 is lacking 3 files here....
Thanks!

When I run extract-files.sh I get:
remote object '/system/bin/hci_qcomm_init' does not exist
remote object '/system/lib/hw/gps.default.so' does not exist
remote object '/system/lib/libgps.so' does not exist
remote object '/system/lib/libloc_ext.so' does not exist
I'm not sure whether that's actually a problem or not, but to me it looks like at least GPS will not work...
My build also didn't boot, I couldn't load the adreno drivers due to missing symbols...
Did you do anything other special?

If you get those errors while extracting files from your phone i don't think that the branch you used matters.

What do you mean by driver issue?
The files are clearly not there in the last officially built nightly, I am using cm-10.1-20130312-NIGHTLY-ville.zip.
So I guess either
- you are using another rom to extract from, or
- you pulled and build another branch of cm10.1 (which doesn't require those files for some reason) than I am trying to build.

That's the newer you can get from get.cm
I didn't had GApps (i don't think that matters), and i synced everything following the official guide so if you did too, that shouldn't be the issue.

I'd love to do it but i never uploaded on github.
So I just need to upload, no modifing or changing settings?

I could push them later but don't really see much point as most people will want to go forward rather than backwards 8.0 > 8.1 > 9.0 etc etc
Even with the Kernel source It will still require a lot of work to get a fully working device and will likely require some assistance from one of the more experienced MediaTek Dev's who are used to working with source code

I agree, but some people don't like Oreo and want to use Nougat. We can make another thread asking people for help.

Compiler Errors
Did anyone manage to successfully manage to compile the kernel using the Oreo Kernel source??
I keep getting compile errors but not sure if it's my set up (Arch Linux) or if the source is broken

did anyone have a working kernel ?

I think the Oreo Kernel source is broken/missing bits which is kind of annoying when you spend hours fixing one thing then something else further down the build fails to compile and it quits. :crying:
It could be me just not knowing what I am doing :silly: as I am new to actually compiling kernels so still lots to learn for me but I would like to know if ANYONE has had a successful build or not especially someone who is experienced.?? :fingers-crossed:

Searching a volunteer to provide OmniROM 9.0 builds

Hello people!
After AOSP the OmniROM is now the second custom rom available on the XZ2, XZ2C and XZ3. (Needed to omnify the device files to build TWRP with it.)
Due of lack of my free time (plus I am providing AOSP and TWRP and don't have enough free space on my online storage), we need someone providing us builds for the XZ2, XZ2C and XZ3.
Of course it need to be a DualSim and a SingleSim build.
At the moment the omni device trees only offer a SingleSim variant, but it does only take 3-4 lines of code to offer a DualSim build option after lunching the device tree's.
You only need to adapt the code of the AOSP project.
PS:
They won't accept code changes at https://gerrit.omnirom.org, because they never actively support them.
Yes. I don't like this opinion, too.
PS0:
I can confirm from too people running OmniROM 9.0 on their XZ2C and XZ3 that it works.
At this moment I am running OmniROM 9.0 on my device as a test if it works.
PS1:
I can confirm, that you can directly integrate TWRP into the OmniROM (and maybe AOSP, I will test it on the next successful build).
Just build the entire ROM with "-userdebug", but the bootimage with "-eng".
Of course you need to replace the standard recovery with TWRP, while building.
This is a good place for an example how to modify the manifest files:
https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_omni/tree/twrp-9.0
Of course you should put your changes into the "local_manifest" folder and modify the omni manifest files.
Of course you can build an twrp installer, if you don't want to run an "-eng" bootimage.
But I can't execute "fastboot boot twrp.img" on my XZ2.
You you may need todo the same stuff like we are doing with out stock rom, to install TWRP. (TWRP thread).

Pictures :laugh:

A screenshot I forgott.

Yes, as you can see in the screenshots.
The same like in Sony AOSP (the base for every custom ROM for our device).
Of course the implementation still needs Bugfixes and feature enhancements.
You can see the open tasks in the bugtracker linked in the AOSP topic in XDA.

If it's only the builds you need I can help but I probably won't be much help adapting the code.

Hi
Don't you need hesters on every build to fix bugs? ?
And why is it not available to have a SDCard in XZ3 AKATSUKI when you put in double/2 Sim-Cards.? ? ?
