I know Motorola opens Defy's kernel source code on sourceforget.
But I can't find any README or INSTALL documents on source code.
How to build Defy's kernel from source??
I doubt they did, and I doubt it is possible to use this kernel.
Any link?
Believe this is what he's talking about:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/moto-defy.motorola/files/DEFY TMO/3.4.2-107-JDN-9/

Hi,
I've followed various posts on here and have managed to compile and install my own kernel build. I am using the leshak initramfs and would like to be able to modify the init executable that lives in the sbin folder.
I've had a search around and can't work out if there is any source code available to build this or if it just pulled directly from the device. Can anyone confirm if and how it is possible to build this executable?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
Theres no source from Samsung available.
You can try official android sources:

Hi,
LGE open 3.4.0 kernel for I_BOARD (i_series, ijb_series), 325_BOARD (batman series), 120_BOARD (cayman series).
LG-F100L (batman_lgu_kr), LG-F100S (batman_skt_kr), LG-F120S (cayman_skt_kr) have same kernel source and there's i series source and config.
But it does not have CAF capability.
Please modify this kernel source.
LGE Opensource site, search f100l or f100s and download JB source.
Yes, we know about it. Its not easy but we can adapt it for our device.
I am started port P930 features to F120S sources, but need a lot time for it.
When it will boot, I will upload kernel to Github for fixing drivers together.
Help me too!!!

Could you make it for F100S too? I have download the kernel source of F100S but i don't understand how to build it to compatible with CM rom. I was read many guide to build cm kernel but i confused where must i start to buil. Maybe i'm not develop....:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I Have a question for all the roms developers, you say that you can't actually use best quality of the camera on your roms because LG did not release their source code (drivers) for the G3 but on their website the actually did:
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=d855 for the international model for example there is the source code
so why are u saying that stuff like 4K and camera quality wont work without drivers ? they are right there or am I wrong ?
because if you read some development posts and threads you'll see some of my posts where you could read that the kernel source is useful and already used... the oter zipped sources are unuseful and not real sources.. just 2GB of source code that is going to be added to the general build and used only for testing with android emulator... = pointless
If, like me, you despaired of CM ever releasing another "stable" version of CM-11, your wait is over.
I found out they had FINALLY done another M-SNAPSHOT code freeze, so I synced the source and built one of my own.

Link removed. Apparently we can't post links to builds any more without a full kernel code dump in the post.
If anyone is actually interested, PM me and I'll send you the link.

This has been the case for as long as XDA has been GPL compliant. Any distribution of a binary (meaning kernel boot,img) that is not unmodified manufacturer's stock requires a link to kernel source, not a code dump. Anyone building CM from source should have no issues getting the link to source code and including it.

There is no kernel source in that link. Please post proper kernel source.
Edit: Thank you for updating the link to kernel source
Hello,
I am trying my first kernel build, and there is one item I am not understanding, and I cannot seem to find a definitive answer on the web.
I cannot figure out how device blobs are incorporated into the kernel build. Are they required for functionality, or does the device specific kernel source code on GitHub already contain them?
I tried the kernel build described in CM, however that was unsuccessful for me, I was unable to make it through the 'installboot' command.
Therefore, I have been watching, and reading, all the guides on how to build a kernel but none of them (at least that I could find) mention what to do with the device blobs. What am I missing? It seems that if I do not add them I will lose functionality?
I am new to this so maybe I am missing something obvious.

Hello,
Please tell us the make and model of the device you building for.

Hi,
This is for an LG V500 tablet. Thanks!
Uses the code fefifofum as a base, but asks permission from him before

Thanks edsmat. sorry, but I am a little confused, does the code from fefifofum contain the blobs? Actually, I have the blobs, grabbed them from he V500. What I am confused about is how these blobs are incorporated into the kernel build (I have the kernel source from github).
