Need help with building kernel (ath9k)

Hi Lads,
Past few days im trying to add the ath9k module to a kernel.
I took the emotion kernel but when i started to make the kernel i constantly receiving errors.
I googled till my eyes burned out of my skull but got no solution. Probably im doing something wrong
Im looking for someone who can build the kernel easily including the ath9k driver.
My purpose is to use Kali Nethunter with the TP-Link WL722N adapter on the Note Edge N915F.
Im so desperate that i want to pay for it. Or maybe a game on steam :highfive:
Please help me out!
Greetings.
Stefjoe

Stefjoe,
I also saw your pm. I know now that you would like that module added to the tblte kernel. Kali Nethunter is not a rom, it is an overlay of sorts. Essentially a chrooted Linux distribution running over the top of your Android phone.
Kali only supports stock roms, or some "CyanogenMod variants", so I could add this to the AOKP kernel for you, but I cannot guarantee that you will have everything you need for this to work. For instance, you are going to need packet injection, module loading and unloading, force modules, etc., etc., much more than just the one item you requested. The note edge is not on the list of supported devices for a reason, it takes much dedication and effort to set it up properly. You would also need to build your custom port of Kali to go on your system. (Unless I am mistaken, no one has made one for the Note Edge yet.)
So, have you already built a working port of kali for your phone?
I say this in the kindest of regards, but if you cannot build the kernel, can you build the kali image?
As a side note, all the tools in Kali Linux are freely available, and you can download them to your phone right now, just not in the glorified package. Having Kali is like having a toolbox. Having a tool box does not make one a mechanic. Having Kali does not make one a pentester, or cacker (unethical hacker) if you are aiming for that.
I am not opposed to you having Kali, I've used it before myself (not on a phone), but in the end, I found Debian to be just as useful, downloading the tools that actually helped me in my job/tasks.
I am just curious if you have already created the kali image you need for the Note Edge phone. In theory, if the only thing you need is a kernel with the above, then it should work with your current kernel, just without that feature. If you have not even made the image yet, then I suspect that you are going to need a lot more than what you asked for.
I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your reply again! I kinda ported the Nethunter to Note Edge with help from this video on YT ; /watch?v=jhLBJJwB88k
Everything works fine but only the TP-Link WL722N is not working because the kernel does not have this module installed. The adapter takes care of the injection so no worries i guess. I sended u a PM.
I am a certified hacker and i know what Kali Linux is but only missing this tool and it could make my work a lot easier. So i really appreciate if u can do this for me man. Endless thanking

Stefjoe,
I see from your PM that you are not requesting my AKLU kernel, but the TW Emotion Kernel. I can't do that for you.
To build the kernel you need the right source, the source code for the kernel has been updated since r17 ( I think it is r2X? now). That means rolling back through the commits to find the time it was built and working properly and getting that source. It is not as simple as just going straight back to r17, the r17 version you may be using may be anywhere in the commits between r17 and r18.
Then we would need the exact toolchain he/she was building with. He says Linaro 5.1, but which one, 5.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.8? There are several.
Also, I do not build TW kernels. I only build AOSP kernels. I also don't usually build off of someone else's work. I was under the impression you wanted me to add that module to my AKLU kernel instead.
To get that specific kernel built the way you want, I recommend that you ask @Pafcholini to do that for you, since he made it originally.
If you want, I can add that module to my AKLU kernel for you, but I know the rest of the needed kernel items are in there that you need (packet injecting, force module loading, etc.) so I doubt it will work for you. You would also have to switch to AOKP, which may or may not work with your porting guide.
Sorry, but after looking at your full request, I don't think I can help you with what you need.

[ROM][Official][Nightly] LineageOS 15.1 for OnePlus 3/3T

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.​
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*
*/
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
Important information:
This thread is for LineageOS 15.1 builds for OnePlus 3/3T. The following will not be supported here:
Custom kernels
Mods
Xposed
We don't support Xposed and any logcat which includes a Xposed module will be ignored. You're kindly invited to not report bugs if you:
Flashed a custom kernel
Installed or did mods from untrusted sources
Modified system files
Tips:
SELinux works in permissive enforcing mode
You need at least OxygenOS 5.0 firmware, otherwise you'll get error 7 when installing the zip. Latest firmware is recommended.
Installation:
First time flashing LineageOS 15.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s)
Install a compatible Recovery (Latest official TWRP is highly recommended: https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusthree.html)
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data/factory reset
Flash LineageOS
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package
Reboot

Frequently Asked Questions
When you're about to ask a question, read the FAQs below, otherwise it'll be ignored.
Rule: NEVER ask for ETA
Q: Can we port treble to our device?
A: NO, unless OnePlus supports treble in official OxygenOS. Treble is trouble, treble is fake news. From my point of view treble brings zero benefit to the device. You already have countless custom ROMs, treble won't bring more fancy ROMs to the device, it just brings endless trouble to device maintainers. The most important point is, some of our proprietary vendor blobs aren't fully decoupled from /system, so fake Treble won't achieve the same effect as Google announced, especially when upgrading to new Android versions via GSIs.
Q: It VoLTE working on our device?
A: I don't know. My carrier doesn't support VoLTE/VoWLAN, but I've added necessary IMS stack to the ROM, and there're actually some users reported working VoLTE. If it doesn't work for you, DON'T issue me, I'm unable to fix it. Notice: If you strongly believe your carrier does support VoLTE/VoWLAN but the toggle doesn't even show up in settings, tell me your carrier's MCC/MNC number (check http://www.mcc-mnc.com/)
Q: Please add support for sRGB/DCI-P3 as cm-14.1
A: Our kernel does support them, you can enable it via sysfs toggle: /sys/class/graphics/fb0/srgb and /sys/class/graphics/fb0/dci_p3, maybe some apps could help you do this easier. The frontend is WIP(in fact it's already under reviewing, will be merged soonDone)
Q: Please add xyz features or fix UI/UX related bugs/regressions
A: All feature requests and UI/UX related stuff should go to LineageOS JIRA: https://jira.lineageos.org, I only take care of hardware-specific stuff.
Q: Can you make my device bypass SafetyNet?
A: https://www.lineageos.org/Safetynet/

So... its start... official?

Yes!!! :victory: Going to try it out once I'm done with work

Nice work! Gonna install it asap and report any issues.
Device OP3T, not rooted, encrypted.
I list here whatever I am able to find:
Charging doesn't make a sound nor vibrate, no matter what settings.
Option to switch hw keys light on/off is missing (i know not real issue, but many prefer them off)
Display modes missing sRGB, DCI-P3

Thank you! Will install and give feedback after few hours.
EDIT:So far so good. Very good for an alpha. But we should wait for official to daily use i think.
Edit again: Official rollout has been started. Except some kernel issues(fixable with custom kernel), great rom. Okay for daily use, no crashes or random reboots. Thanks anyone who put work on it.

Nope, not official. Look at Zip name.

After install this build TWRP 3.2.1-0 cannot mount data partition (it's has encrypted) without any error.

good

I'm wondering if this is the f2fs loopback problem.
Is your data partition f2fs or ext4?

Hi Red. I was taking a look at the ROM repository on GitHub, and saw that the default branch is now named cm-13.1. So, are you now working on an Android 6.0 ROM for the M5c?

I have a slight indecision, now I can not carry on the Custom ROM because I do not have the right PC but when I am able to compile it, I will evaluate which one can work better

I see. I would say that in the long run Lineage 14 would be more worthwhile, since Android 6.0 is becoming outdated, with no support for some apps. But really, I just wanted a ROM to replace Flyme, and its bugs. Also, many of the apps I use don't work, or don't work right on Flyme...
These days I was taking a look at /e/ OS. I've been thinking about venturing into porting this ROM to the M5c. For me it would be a challenge, since I've never done this before. But unfortunately at the moment I also don't have a PC that meets the requirements to compile the ROM

You are right. However, /e/ has some nice features like e account synchronization, an app store, microG, and some of their apps... Of course we could get that with LineageOS, but it is interesting how /e/ already brings that well integrated and ready.
By the way, I am also looking at other non-Android systems, like Ubuntu Touch...

Well, from what I've been reading the process is similar to porting LineageOS. You just need the kernel sources and the device specific binary blobs. I'm guessing you know how to get them, don't you?
And the interesting thing is that there is a layer, called Halium, that interacts directly with the hardware. And that is actually what you should port to the desired device. Then you can install any Linux system on top of this layer, like Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, etc, and these are distributed pre-compiled.

Mhh ... good, you are informed, however the vendor blobs are bull**** to take, the problem is the kernel sources but Meizu has not released them. However, some time ago I booted a Custom kernel based on ALPS (A custom AOSP from Mediatek to be clear) but the touchscreen doesn't work and I'm looking for a solution around but that I can't find
P.S: Fixing that kernel has great potential, forget android 7, you could also boot android 9 with sources, but as long as they are still working

Thanks for the clarification! It is a shame that Meizu does this (I wonder if they are not violating the terms of the Linux GPL license by distributing the kernel without publishing the modifications made to the source code).
Anyway, if a solution to this kernel problem related to the touch screen comes up, please let me know. In the meantime I'll keep reading Halium's documentation until a solution comes along, or until I get a compatible phone.

Great work!

Hello. I've been testing this ROM on my M5c and love it. The ROM is very good, fluid, lightweight... the only problem is that the camera doesn't work, as well as the cellular network data. Congratulations for the excellent work.
The ROM will no longer receive bugfixes?

pls compile

How are LineageOS and TWRP built?

Hello, I am very new to everything. My knowledge is basically limited to using Linux. Could someone tell me where I can find the documentation of how to build TWRP and LineageOS for an unknown phone.
Or tell me what the general process is.
I cannot understand anything, when trying to understand I feel like being faced to a wall and not understanding how the hell it works.
Thanks in advance,

i will not prefer to use nethunter as magisk module because magisk and systemless and with it you cannot unloock the full potential of nethunter because nethunter with magisk can make many problems and i faced some so it is better to to install it in system
