Does anyone on here have sucsesfull getting BFS into the kernel and compiling? Ive tried many versions many ways and i just cant get the kernel compiling. Ive emailed many people i know have gotten BFS working but havent heard back. So im just hoping maybe someone on these boards has some experience and can help me out a little. Ive been trying to get my kernel out but i refuse to release it until i get BFS in it and its really holding me back.

Take a look here. There's patches for nearly all versions. I have used that in every kernel I included BFS in.
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/
Have you used those to patch an Android specific kernel? Those are the patches im using but they are intended for the mainline kernel and none of them patch 100% clean but ive hand patched the problematic parts. The kernel version im using 2.6.32.9 which kolavis doesnt acually have a patch for im assuming becuase its not a mainline kernel version? Ive tried a few other 2.6.32 patches and ive trie bfs v311 v313 v404 and each have there own problems v313 will compile but i have to remove the mmc support for some reason.
If youve compiled an Android kernel with BFS i would love to know what kernel version and BFS version so maybe i can start some investigation.
Maybe someone knows what mainline kernel the android 2.6.32 kernel is forked from?
I am building an aosp ROM for the galaxy player 5.0 as an independent study at my school. I have the stock kernel for it that I extracted out of an odin image and I was wondering, do I have to build aosp around the kernel because I heard aosp kernels aren't good with the drivers and I need every function to work. I have found many tutorials for aosp and I am not going to use Googles since I can't understand that as much as other ones on the internet. Can someone enlighten me on the subject so I'm not going to fail, its due by january and I am still on the fence about whether I can do this. I just need some guidance and not to have somebody do it for me.
So im trying to get everything up and running on my computer so I can build us all a pure vanilla 4.2 rom. I have been following a guide to setting everything up on Ubuntu 10.04 to build 4.2 roms, my only problem is finding our device tree. I am a bit unsure if I can just use CM's d2vzw device tree or if I need to find another one.
If it does needs to be a different device tree I have found one, https://github.com/Joelz9614/android_device_samsung_d2vzw , but yet again I dont know if it would be better to use CM's device tree or this one. For the time being I am going to use this one until someone chimes in and lets me know which one would be best to use, or if there is another I dont know about that I need to use to build 4.2 .
Thanks in advance guys
Hi guys,
I always read in the Xda forum but never wrote or asked a question...usually someone already asked them.
so I have the Mi 5S PLUS...but I hate the miui UI. can't get used to it. And yesterday I finally found that there are custom ROM for this device.
So I got few questions.
1. As far as i know, the source code hasnt been released but should be released soon. should I wait for a ROM that uses the source code?
2. I see that the most popular costum ROMs for this device are - Lineage and resurrection remix. In terms of battery life, stability and bug free rom. which one is the best?
3. I see there is one ROM with the tag [OFFICIAL]....does this mean it uses the source code? if not, what does it mean?
thanks a lot to those that answer

1. Source code is released but rom based on source code are not released yet .You can use them but their are some bugs,
2.You can check yourself
3. Official means official rom from lineage team or other maintainers just like Global MIUI rom from xiaomi is official while xiaomi.eu is unofficial .
You can check for source in rom page for more info about what device tree and source code it uses

Thanks for the answers. But I asked because I prefer to install one and that's it. and if someone used the both ..why not to hear opinions.
I recomend RR

The reason that people don't recommend one over the other is because YMMV. I know I came from a cyanogen ROM with my previous phone and dirty unicorns on the phoen before that (along with a whole set of custom ROMs). In the end though, I found them all to be "similar". Yes, some do some things differently like some offer a lot of CPU governors, while others keep the list pretty tight. Some default with swap space on, some don't use swap space at all (this phone shouldn't need swap space). Sometimes the difference between two ROMs is just the launcher.
For me, I don't really like the MIUI launcher. It feels a lot like an iphone. This isn't a bad thing. Some people like it. I just install Apex (from the play store) and my issues with the ROM were mostly resolved. The only remaining problem is MASS STORAGE. But, based on my experience with mly previous phone, I doubt I'll find a ROM that natively supports it. But I know how to hack my way in and get that going (just need root... which requires an unlocked bootloader... and if I am reading things correctly, you need to wipe everything which I currently not willing to do... but may have found a workaround... going to test it out tomorrow).

Wipe everything is very simple connect the phone via USB cable to PC and via twrp wipe everything then past a Rom on the phone and flash it, that's it

Wiping everything is easy, yes, but I want to avoid wiping if I don't have to.
Got the phone rooted without needing to wipe it (yay), but getting mass storage enabled failed on me. I can't seem to write to the file I need to which confuses me... but that is off topic so I'll refrain from boring you with details on that.
Back on topic, if you are switching to a custom ROM you will need to wipe things. I personally would wait for a custom kernel to come out before you start playing with custom ROMs unless the custom ROM has a feature you REALLY want. With my previous phones, the one that had a custom Kernel as well as custom ROMs was a lot more stable and had a lot fewer bugs. The one that had only factory kernel, the custom ROMs were flaky. They mostly worked, but they did have bugs. If I got a phone call or called somebody and they hung up first, it would crash the dialer and the dialer would fail to start again until I rebooted. Now a custom kernel may not have helped that, but since the kernel was based on a previous version of Android, it was unstable.
The current custom ROMs (that I have seen) are all based off of the stock kernel and not newer ones so I personally do not expect to see much benefit in changing ROMs except having different bloat and a different launcher. Well, at lest for the things I use my phone for. But YMMV.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me to build a custom kernel for my lg g3 D855 I have done android development before so its nothing too new for me and I've had quite success in the past but these not many forums about this topic and especially up to date the trouble is either the code to install required packages in Linux don't work or I get random errors when building the kernel like a error 2 or 1 which there is nothing online about this error
So again I would really appreciate it if someone could lead me in the right direction or just some help anything is better then nothing
If you want to know what I'm trying to do then I want to build a custom kernel to overclock the phone but also help in performance because on full stock it gets too hot and constantly lags so I have install a custom ROM on the phone, the viper os ROM and hope to make a kernel to have a full custom phone and I can't use kernel apps like kernel adiutor because the setting don't save and there's no overclocking present after the reboot so that's why I want to make a kernel plus I would enjoy making one instead of getting one offline and most of the custom kernels for the D855 either bootloop the phone or puts it in download mode so there are many reasons why I want to make one and source.android.com seems awkward to follow along with but I have been doing dev stuff for a few months now so I know a fair bit about it just not as much as I would hope
Thanks for reading the post I know its a long one if you can help me it would be much appreciated
