Hey guys,may I know "In order to make a build for your device, you will need a suitably device configuration. Often these are included within the main source download, or are obtained through a method documented by the developers of the ROM." <<<<<where can I get this?
Should be the source code, i guess.

Kernel source code?
I think so.
Where can I find proprietary binaries?
Kernel Source code can be found at www.htcdev.com
After it is released.

And the binaries are located in the source code?I'm asking all this questions because I'm in the midst of developing.And to further understand so that it would be easier for me.
I'm no kernel dev, so i can't answer more than this.
It's ok.

I noticed source update1 for the i727 at opensource.samsung.com. Downloading now, I haven't had a chance to see what it contains.
Version 2.3.6
What does this means?

Not much, unless you are wanting to compile Gingerbread from source. If it contains UCLA3 updated source, it might help some of the developers of the latest ROMs to tweak their builds.
Stupid question: Do these have the actual source code in them? What I mean is that can I download this and look at the code and learn about how an Android OS works?

If you are interested in generic android source, you'd be better off going to source.android.com. The samsung source is not full android source, only source that is specific to the device.
OK I'll probably get flamed by people like I did in the Development forum calling my simple question "STUPID"..... but could this be the link to the source code for the P6210?
https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp
We already knew where the source code was. The problem is that they have not provided the wifi drivers in the correct form, according to garyd9 the wifi drivers are only binary, so i think that means he won't be able to do much with those wifi drivers. Another problem is that the source has not been updated to work with the newest over the LA3 firmware samsung has provided according to garyd9. If we didn't have the source code, then garyd9 wouldn't have been able to build a custom kernel for our tablet. You can find his kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421466
Sorry if it sounds like if i'm being mean to you, but the source code links had already been posted a long time ago in the development section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375911
Hi All,
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but on Asus' website under the downloads section they have the ICS source code!
Sorry can't post the link as I have not posted enough! I can't wait to get my own TF700T now and play around. And I also can't wait to see what the experienced devs can do with this magnificent tab!
I only see the kernel source code. That is, the source code for the Linux kernel. It has already been put to use in the TWRP recovery.
ASUS are required to release that source code according to the GPL license. Android itself doesn't have that requirement, since it's licensed under the Apache license instead. Unless you show me another link, I don't think ASUS has released their Android system source code.

Noted
Moved to General, as this isn't a development thread.
T-mobile Prism II released the kernel source
https://github.com/Prism2/HUAWEI-U8686-Open-Source-U8686-JellyBean-kernel-3.4.0-
That is the link for the source kernel i found with a simple search.
This phone is so close to having a custom rom. Rooted, bootloader unlocked and CWM_recovery has already been made possible on this forum.
So my question is... Where would add the line CONFIG_SWAP=y in that open source kernel.
Is that all that needs to be done to this kernel to enable swap?
I'm sure it simple anyone know?

Its a little more complex

Thanks a lot for that link.
I'm very inexperienced with android and that doesnt look easy. Anyone interested in helping me with this?
Hello,
I'm trying to create a CM port for my Getnord Onyx device.
As far as I know, to do this I need kernel source code with all of it's patches. So I contacted manufacturer and nicely asked them to give me the source code, but they didn't reply.
What should I do? And I don't think that GNU General Public Licence is going to help me here (or can it, if so: how do I use it?)
Thank you!
The Linux kernel is licensed under GNU and they are required to release the kernel but alot of Chinese manufacturers don't do it. You can use a prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but don't expect new Android versions.

Is it possible to somehow decompile Kernel from my phone?

No, but you can use the prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but you won't be able to upgrade Android versions
Having the same issue with Blu. using the prebuilt kernel, is there any chance a newer Android version than what it came with would work?

There is a chance but don't count on that
