Is this source released by Motorola?
I have the stock setup (build 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-26) and need to recompile that kernel (harden it, mainly), but would like to keep everything else as-is, if possible.
I do not wish to upgrade to KK as I am happy with what I've got.
The Motorola mobility on github is listing KK-only kernel sources and the only other place I could find is http://sourceforge.net/projects/motoxt925.motorola/files/RAZR HD/, but my build isn't listed there so I am not sure I could use any of them builds listed there.
Any help?

I am looking to build my own kernel for my AT&T Skyrocket (2.6.35.11 - I727UCLA3). I want to find the default kernel code, try to build the default code and install it before I make modifications to it.
I found these files on the samsung opensource site:
https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SGH-I727
There is:
SGH-I727_NA_Opensource_Update1.zip
SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip
SGH-I727R_Opensource.zip
I think that I want SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip. Two questions though. What is Update1 and do I need that? Also, I expected there to be multiple files for each kernel release of the Skyrocket, however there is only 1. Is this the most recent 2.6.35.11 I727UCLA3 kernel?
One last thing. Are there any good mirrors for these files? The Samsung Open Source site is painfully slow and my downloads stop very quickly after starting.
Thanks a bunch.
Hello all,
I've forked a CM9 repo for the HTC One X and am able to successfully compile and build but I'd like to add my own repo to the build process. I'm not quite sure how everything works together yet but it seems that the default.xml may be the place where I need to make the change. Is that true? If not, how can I go about adding my own source to my CM9 workspace in order to compile and build a ROM based on my source changes.
Thanks!
Hey people!
I was trying to learn how to build AOSP ROMs for my E8, for which HTC has released the kernel source on the HTCDev website.
I feel kind of lost right now.. I have uploaded the kernel source for the device on to GitHub: [LINK] There are two archives within the source archive, where one says "platform" and the other is the kernel source.
Now, I'm syncing the AOSP source as they tell you to in the Sony Developer Portal (from HERE) to my Ubuntu VM (which is a huge download). What do I do next? Will this be enough to build the ROM or will I need other resources as well?
Sorry, I've never really done this before. So, I have some really noobish questions.
Thanks!

Anyone? Please help!!
Hey,
i'm just curious about what the title describes. First of all.
What do i really need:
-kernel sources
-binary blobs (extractable)
-recovery / boot.img (extractable)
Let us just talk about the fairphone 2. Additional to the things mentioned we get the full source code of the OS (which i do not need?).
Where do the difficulties lie? For my understanding we just take the kernel sources, the official cyanogenmod (e.g.) source code, the binary blobs and the recovery / boot.img.
How difficult would it be to port Cyanogenmod to the fairphone 2.
Why is it difficult to port a device with existing (again cyanogenmod just as an example) cyanogenmod to a newer Cyanogenmod (Android) version?
I ask this to estimate/evaluate/judge (don't know the right term) the effort needed to do this. I think i'd be able to do that if i put enough work into it (i "speak" c and java), but i just need some answers.
Especially for example why it is more difficult to port Android 6 instead of Android 5 (which is the currently running Android version)
Thanks!

Has nobody an answer? Just one?
Im specifically interested in why it is more difficult to port e.g. cyanogenmod if there is only an older version of stock android and how important the kernel is? Why do we need kernel sources? Can't one just self-compile a kernel.
Where are the limits if i have a device running 4.2. Why can it possibly run 5.1 but not 6? Is the kernel limiting? Or only the effort to realize such a thing.
Thanks!

hello, so i have been in communication with huawei regrading the kernel source. i mentioned the lack of source files for the mate 7 and how its part of the google/android agreement that oems must share all relevant sources for devices that use any part of android. they replied with the usual reply about how they will work hard to resolve this issue and whatnot. the rep did give me a link to the kernel source which i believe is for kitkat but i cant be sure so i hope that someone can verify.
having said that, why cant the kitkat source be used to build for lollipop and marshmallow? im still using a nook hd+ that is running MM......... WHAT??? how is this possible if the only kernel provided was for ICS? anyway, im going to keep poking at them until they either give up the LP/MM sources of they tell me to ****off. so, if anyone can please check out the link i would really appreciate it.
Lollipop Kernel?
