Wondering if anyone has any resources they could point me to that would help me learn how to develop a Kernel. Nothing too crazy, but i want to pull out the new Kernel from the Gingerbread sense leak and add SBC (however, i am thinking i may need to wait for the official release / code drop but still interested in this info regardless).
I am pretty good at understanding all this stuff, i just dont know where to even start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do i need to do to prepare for making the changes to the evo 4g drivers and kernel to make it all compatible for ICS? i know i probably won't be the FIRST one to do it, but...
I have wanted to learn how to build for a while, and apparently everyone needs this, so i figure i would learn and help everyone out as well
Dear all,
sorry, for the maybe very n00bie-questions, nevertheless, I am hoping for some explanations, which try to help me, what is going on exactly
1) Buidling roms from source:
I'd like to take the JB example, where a lot of "ICS patches need to be merged into the JB source".
What kind of patches are meant?
Why is it that complicate, to compile the source and then somehow, it is not yet working for the device (even, after integrating the kernel)? Can maybe someone explain a little bit more, what exactly is causing the trouble?
What would help to make things easier?
2) Shaky was/ is working on a 3.x Desire kernel.
What is the major difference between a 2.3x and a 3.x kernel?
Why is a 3.x kernel needed/ suggested?
Why is it that complicate to build a 3.x kernel for the desire?
What would help to make things easier?
You see, I am missing a little bit on the basics, but would like to understand more in detail, what is really going on, when the devs are sending information around.
Would be highly appreciated, if someone/ or more than one would try to bring my knowledge to a higher level.
Thanks in advance for all your support!

So, after much searching, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that Android is generally lacking in support for CIFS, which is needed in order to mount samba shares... and I have come up empty handed. I understand that there are custom kernels and ROMs which support CIFS, but I was kinda hoping to find a module for stock instead. Is there perhaps one out there that I may have overlooked... or would someone be kind enough to compile one? I feel as if I have exhausted most of my resources at this point, so I'm really hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.
I am running stock Android version 4.1.2, build number JZO54K, with kernel version 3.0.31-g4f6d371 on a GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks for any assistance.
Anyone?
I need it as well. No one? :/
Hey, I know there are already a fair number of threads out there on this, but they all seem to be for "n00bs" or beginners, which I am not. I would like to write a custom ROM, including comiling the kernel and all that other jazz. I get the basics of *modifying* a ROM, but what if I want to significantly change something? And I have yet to find a tutorial on how you can compile the Android kernel for the Captivate Glide. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I'm thinking about trying to just compiling vanilla ICS (pun intended ) so that I can get the hang of the process. Then I can do my own stuff and not be constantly worrying about bricking my phone.
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could let me know what I would need to do and what I need to build an OC/UC kernel for CM13!! I Havent seen much talk about this or any devs particular interested in doing so. I can't promise anything but if someone gives me a guide I would give it ago or if anyone is interested in building then maybe we could get the ball rolling and start from here until we get stable build and create a thread in Android Development. Hope to hear from you all!!
