Hi
I got old crappy device so I use it to learn about compiling kernel from source, I start understand code fix error etc.. but I can't get get cpu/gpu overclock, already try many other msm8916 sources as example but without success if I edit cpufreq table anyway and get success compilation anyway kernel see only stuck on stock cpufreq
I haven't got clue what I doing wrong ? wrong cpufreq files ? , can someone guide me ? plz
Thanks for help

Hi I am trying to get the BeagleBoard kernel for my work from git://labs.embinux.org/repo/android/platform/beaglemanifest.git/ but the server is down. Could you please advice me if there is any other place to obtain the same kernel ? I have tried Rowboat but it did't work. I need to compile graphic drivers and I need the source code from embinux.
Thanks.
hello @all,
where can i get some informations of how to port a kernel to a specified device?
i'll try to port the kernel 2.6.35 to a LG-P500 device, but i don't know what i MUST do for this.
have just copied some LG drivers files from kernel .32 to .35, made modifications in GPIO (GPIO calls has changed) and registered the device in Kconfig, Makefiles and includes/defines - but i think this can't be all what i have to do
does exist a android kernel mailing list or a howto port a kernel in general somewhere?
Greets & thanks
Another anything known about this in the last year BUMP
Hi ,
I have and old msm7225 device , and development on xda has stopped . obviously everyone have bought a new phone ( me too ) , and nobody cares about it .
since i am not using it as my everyday phone , i want to bring a new kernel for it . It currently has a 2.6.32 kernel , and i want to port 2.6.35 or .38 .
i have some knowledge about kernels ,i have done some additions to the current kernel and i can fix most of the compilation errors that i will face ( i've tried it before ) , but i don't know what it needs to make it boot .
i don't expect a full working kernel , just boot and screen working , and then i'll start to fix the rest , one by one .
thnx

For that you will have to patch your kernel upstream. Search for upstream patches of the specific kernel from CAF.. or some other devices must have patched it... who's source you may find on xda or on github.
If you are looking to port kernel 3.x.x .. then HTC Explorer ( which has Msm7225a ) also runs kernel 3.0.100 so you check out its kernel source that is probably the closest device you will get apart from HTC Golfu
There are no guides as such. Basic knowledge on C/C++ is required as well as good knowledge on the linux kernel and you will have to read in depth its documentation.
http://kernelnewbies.org/ is a good site to gain some knowledge on the subject.

htc explorer has msm7225a which is armV7 with adreno 200 . msm7225 is armv6 without gpu (like htc buzz which has 2.6.35 kernel ).
I am not a total noob in kernels , i can port some features and fix some problems on my existing kernel .
but i want to experiment , on new kernel
Can someone tell me how to add SmartassV2 to kernel.
I dont know much but i think you have to add it to your kernel source before compiling. Not sure though
Hit thanks if helped
You will have to find the source for the specific governor type, then you will have to add it to your kernel source, then compile it. I'm not a kernel dev but this is probably the approach to it. There are plenty of tutorials that should help you.
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. ^^
