Kernel Development
This is a general guide for building kernels and modifying them. Device-specific articles for getting the kernel source and setting up the build environment are provided in their respective sections.
Getting the kernel source
The source for your kernel must be made available by your device's manufacturer in order to comply with the GPL.
I dont know where to get it
Setting up the environment
Instructions for setting up the development environment should be included in your source code package. This should tell you the parts of the Android Open Source Project that must be in your working directory in order to allow the kernel to build. It will tell you what version as well. All of the Android Operating System source code is available at [android.git.kernel.org] and most projects are mirrored at [github.com/android]. Both are accessible via your internet browser as well as git.
Modifying the kernel
After the kernel source has been downloaded and your environment is set up, you can begin modifying the kernel. It is recommended (in most cases mandatory) that you run the standard "make xxx_defconfig" for your device before modifying the configuration.
Running
make
or
make -jX [where X is the number of operations to perform at a time]
at this point will make the stock kernel that your phone's official system has. To modify it, we can go two ways: 1) modify the file '.config' in a text editor, or 2) run
make menuconfig
for a graphical interface.
Modifying '.config' with menuconfigEdit
Typing
make menuconfig
will bring up the aforementioned graphical interface for modifying your kernel. Striking the "y" key when an option is selected (with "< >" or "[ ]" before it) will include it in the kernel. Striking the "m" key will add those options with a "< >" as a Linux kernel module (*.ko).
Adding tethering support (netfilter/iptables)Edit
Adding VPN support (TUN)
Adding Linux swap support
Adding ext3/ext4 support
Mofifying '.config' manually
The alternative to using menuconfig is editing '.config' in your preferred text editor. Options that are not to be included in the build are commented out with a "#". Options that are to be included inside the kernel image are uncommented and have the value of "y". Options with the value "m" are to be built into loadable kernel modules.
Adding tethering support (netfilter/iptables)Edit
Adding VPN support (TUN)Edit
Adding Linux swap supportEdit
Adding ext3/ext4 supportEdit
Packaging and flashing your kernelEdit
Additional stepsEdit
You may find that you want to play around with '.config', but don't want to lose your configuration. You can rename your '.config' to whatever you want and give it the suffix "_defconfig" and put it in "arch/arm/configs/" for the next time you wish to use it.
For example: if you had a kernel that had tethering and ReiserFS support, and you wanted to try enabling VPN without breaking your current setup, you could rename your '.config' to 'my_rfs_tethering_defconfig' and move it to "arch/arm/configs/". The next time you wanted to make this kernel you could run
make my_rfs_tethering_defconfig
and have your kernel configuration just as you left it.
Note that this would overwrite your kernel configuration stored in '.config'

Oh kay! I will upload it!
I will upload it in an hour! I am downloading the source code of Galaxy i9000! So, I will upload the Fit source code as soon as the i9000 one is over, fine?
as you told to share our researc i fond a step by step tutorial to prepare kernelhttp://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-rooting-roms-hacks/8072-how-build-your-own-kernel-package-source.html

Recently I decided to learn application development and building custom ROMs so i searched online for sources to learn. I found the following playlist uploaded by the user Marakana on youtube :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf7z_mrce00&feature=bf_next&list=PLE953C0B85B50AB62&lf=results_main
There is also a book named "Learning Android" written by the same person who uploaded the videos above. I am new to android development and new to Java even,and I found these tutorials very useful ..... I am posting this because this may help someone
I sure does Help! Thank you for your contribution

Thanks Man!
I am limited to 5 thanks per day..So, I cant thank you! Sorry!
Dude, for all your effort, I can just thank you! My Sister owns this device! It is shocking to see you in here! I thought you would be developing only for SL, S and S2 P:

Is Android based on Linux?
I want to download the source code for the kernel in my custom ROM because I want to compile something that may have dependencies with it.
So, I own a HTC Desire en lets say, I am using the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863780&highlight=download+source
De binairies I can simply download and flash, no big deal.
But I cannot compile anything on my phone.
I have found a site where it is explained that I need to point the compiler to the source of the kernel, and then I can compile it on a Linux computer.
Thus, I need the source.
I've tried posting in the thread mentioned, but it giving me a message that I cannot post there because I am a new user
Btw. The thing I am trying to compile is C code.
Hello developers,
Just a kind request, there are custom kernels for exynos version of note edge but no custom kernel for SM-915G snapdragon model.
Need to activate init. scripts which is not possible on stock kernel
devs and mods please help to make the powerful tweaked custom kernel.
Hi.. I would love for 915f .. I have downloaded and setup build environment for the kernel but the code as is from Samsung has problems .. references a driver for fc2350 or something like on initial 'make clean' .. on checking the file is defiantly not included.. if I amend referencing file either remove or change to duplicate the file that is there I still get another missing file
.
So really need a Dev to setup a working code base... please
Good afternoon. I appoligise for the noob question but is there a way I can edit (I want to add overclock to a kernel) an already made (compiled?) kernel instead of having to completely build the kernel from source? For example, is there a way I can unpack a boot.img and modify the kernel, repack the boot image, and flash it instead of (in my case) going to Sony Developer World and compiling an AOSP kernel from source, I can just modify the frequencies of the CPU in the kernel the phone is currently running and reflash it? Sorry for the complicated and stupid question, i'm very new to kernel modifying... Thanks for any responses and/or help. ^^
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659584
i'm noob here, so... sorry if the question sound silly...
is it possible to have an old qualcomm device (msm8610) a latest linux kernel such as 5.10 or 5.11 if i don't need the baseband functionality? is all the other driver is also closed source? i'm asking this because i have an old unused phone that i want to use to learn about kernel compiling and learn about hardware and stuff, and i just don't want to waste my time if such thing is impossible (compiling latest kernel for old phone)...

If the stock kernel source code for your device is available to the public, you can use that to compile a new custom kernel for your device. But, an old device may not be able to use the latest kernel. If the stock kernel source code for your device is not available, you can't build a new custom kernel for your device.
