Kernel 0.6.2-riches for CM10 Sony XPeria Jlo. THIS AND ONLY THIS
Compiled using Linaro android toolchain 4.9-2014.10.
No changes made for source, this is just compilation using new compiler. Source code the same as in Joebonriche github.
Recompressed ramdisk (Originaly compresed using "gzip", recompressed using "gzip -9" witch should speedup bootime by few miliseconds and decerased image size be few kB).
I want to this boot.img be as close to oryginal release as possible so not new tweaks. if it is faster/slower than oryginal then all thanks to new android-toollchain.
Download from
Code:

Future plans ?
New kernel release for CM10 Xperia Jlo with LZ4 support (form zswap), some "debloat" from unused code (smaller means alwas faster). and maybe more.

A humble suggestion to developers
For somebody like us who unintentionally clear system partition and lose both rom and stock or custom recovery it would be really nice if there were custom recovery in image file. We can boot phone in fastboot mode and flash custom recovery so that we can reflash stock rom that we have backed up. I learnt it the hard way when i wiped system partition and lost custom recovery in xperia miro. Thank you for all you wonderful guys out there.

Questions about building a custom ROM from AOSP

Hi, I am currently building custom rom for my Lenovo a7000-a (aio_row) and I have a few questions regarding the device section of the AOSP build.
1. I have seen that to build the custom ROM for a device, I would need the following .mk files from topic "Android device configuration AOSP" in Stackoverflow.
However, from the device configuration/device-tree(?) from user rohantaneja in Github, I see that I would also need files that look like drivers for the devices based on the files on that github. May I ask how would I obtain these files?
2. Would flashing an arm64 generic build of custom AOSP into any Android device work or not? If so, why?
Seems like the amount of knowledge that I faced off with confused me a lot.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi OP, since you are the original developer for this ROM, I changed the tag from General to Development.
Also, because you are posting this ROM yourself, could you please also post a link to kernel source repo? As on XDA we need to comply with GPL v2 which requires kernel source to be open source.
Thank you very much.

How to create a distribution of crDroid for the tablet Teclast t40 pro (rooted, unlocked bootloader)

Hello,
Could somebody give me links, initial instructions or an overview of how to adapt the crDroid custom rom to be able to install also on the Teclast t40 pro ?
Or in other words... Which changes should be made (and a general how-to) to that rom once obtained its source code, to add support for a new device, in this case that tablet ?
I am a software developer in .NET with some linux experience also, and this could give me the opportunity to learn something big'n new...
Thanks in advance !

It's so sad that nobody can give me a hand on this; At least a general intro. Ok, I will forget about it and I'll change my little goals in life to something more useful and productive.
Have a nice day.
