Hello,
I would like to build a 2.6.29 kernel for Hero for us to run properly Donut roms.
Here is my progress so far:
- I have sync the android kernel msm from git.
# git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git
# cd msm
# git checkout --track -b android-msm-2.6.29 origin/android-msm-2.6.27
- then:
# adb pull config.gz ./
# gunzip config.gz && mv config .config
# make PATH=$PATH:android-1.6_r1/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
But no luck: it asks me questions to configure the kernel (error in .config?)
I have attached some useful files.
Try running make menuconfig and manually load the .config file. What happens?
kernel sources for hero is not available on http://developer.htc.com/ then no hero support in android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git

Well this guy did it here for sapphire before Htc released kernel sources.... So I think we can.

I copied the hero .config file to kernel root, then "make menuconfig" and loaded .config, then exit and yes to "write .config" question.
Make failed, output attached (make1.txt)
I then applied TigerTael sapphire patch as he "tends to think the memory locations may be correct". Tried to manually load hero's .config and got attached error (error.txt)
I then "make msm_defconfig" and could compile a kernel witch I added to ADP-1.6 boot.img. But no luck it does not work and adb logcat waits for device.... while I am waiting for advices
Regards
Was the downloaded config copied from a build of the same kernel version? If not do "make oldconfig" before commencing with "make menuconfig" or other build.

'make oldconfig' asks me the questions to configure the kernel.....
Edit:
If that could help:

Yes. It will ask you questions as the kernel has added new capabilities - which you will need to configure. Use the help for the new options to guide your choices, although usually the default is the best way to go. Not doing "oldconfig" step will leave you with a busted build configuration.
I assume you're using the config options from /proc/config.gz on the phone?

Now that kernel sources are out, it is time to port changes to 2.6.29.
Hey guys what would be the best? Apply HTC Hero kernel changes to 2.6.29 or apply 2.6.29 changes from 2.6.27 to hero kernel ?
I have applied HTC changes (3.4Mo patch!) to android2.6.29msm and I can compile it. When I run it it says it is a 2.6.27-dirty kernel... Why dirty ?
Lox, it probably means that some of your kernel changes from 2.6.27? or coded for 2.6.27 are not valid in the newer build, hence the 'dirty' reference.
Dirty here meaning spoilt or wrong.
I don't code, and i don't know exactly how much experience you have yourself, but do you reckon Cyanogen or maybe Drizzy could help some of you Hero ROM chefs out with some tips? I'm sure they'd love to give some pointers as to how they've gone about cooking on the Sapphire and Magic.
maybe you did a dirty trick

You can get dirty tagged when you change owner of the files compared to the user who pulled them from git.

Well I understand that but I don't understand why it is not 2.6.29 ?
I have done:
git checkout --track -b android-msm-2.6.29 origin/android-msm-2.6.27
Why start with 2.6.29 and not the latest stable kernel (2.6.31.x) now that HTC-patches just have been released. According to the changelogs there's quite a few interesting android-specific improvements in those later revisions.
Is the intention to match kernel version for android 1.6 source? I'd expect generic android kernel-enhancements to be integrated into the kernel.org kernel. In that case it should be fairly easy to use a more recent kernel than that included in an official android release.
Lox, is this a dead project? Are you focusing on your optimized .27 kernel for our devices?
Dear all,
Did anyone succeed extracting kernel configuration from I9000XXJP3? Kernel version is 2.6.32.9, the vermagic is "2.6.32.9 mod_unload ARMv7"
extract-ikconfig doesn't work on it.
I succeeded extracting a zImage gzipped payload, but it seems not to contain any configuration in it (see attached).
/proc/config.gz doesn't exist, Samsung open source package (downloaded from Samsung open source site) contains only Android 2.1 Eclair or previous versions.
My target is to build tun.ko and, eventually, ext3/ext4 modules to make them working in Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with rooted I9000XXJP3.
Any idea?
Without froyo source code or a good Samsung Kernel (es. for himem capable) I think is impossible to play good with theses beta roms.
Ciao
Any news? I need tun.ko for jp3 too..
I have tried to compile the 2.6.32.9 kernel editing the .config in 2.6.9, the module tun.ko is accepted by the device, but I get a kernel panic!

Did you use the stock linux kernel? Or the common from android.kernel.org?
I'm trying the same thing actually. Isn't there any default config for the processor that might work? I tried with the config from .29 but when loading the module it says wrong format.
try to build 2.6.32 with the 2.6.29 config ("yes" all missing stuff)
turn on your galaxy, adb push the tun.ko
try to load it, it will say "missing symbols" blabla
find the config options that match those symbols, enable them, recompile, try again
Great to see some people who are hacking the kernel! Keep it up!
But I'm afraid it is not going to be as easy as dropping aries_rev03_defconfig as .config in a 2.6.32 kernel tree and doing 'make oldconfig'. That's because many of Samsung's changes have not been included in the newer mainline kernel versions yet.
Samsung added quite a lot of low-level board support for their dev boards (and for the SGS, of course), did some customization and added a few drivers which you will need to forward-port to the newer kernel.
Please have a look at this thread, in which I've started a breakdown of the Samsung patches against Android Eclair's 2.6.29 kernel.
The best course of action I think is to git clone Android's kernel from AOSP, checkout the android-2.6.29 branch, apply Samsung's patches to that, then attempt to rebase your tree to a newer kernel version. (Note, you may want to start with small steps, to get a feel for what you're up against )
Note that there probably will be lots of merge conflicts which you need to resolve, and after dealing with all those, you also have to make sure that everything else that's merged still works as expected, but at least that will show you the amount of work involved. You will basically be doing all the work that Samsung is doing right now for their kernel for FroYo. It will be interesting to follow their progress on the mailing lists and on IRC.

Thats exactly what I did, but I got wrong module format... which is a fatal error. I need to invest further in the used config... maybe i did not pick up the right one properly..

Yes that would be a lot of work. Maybe its better to just wait until they release the kernel from froyo. I read that they release their opensource stuff rather fast. But just for adding a module like ext4 I don't think you need those patches, because imho they didn't touch the fs of the kernel. We just need an adaquate kernel config and adding modules should be possible.

Make sure you're using the same kernel version number and build number, because samsung kernels do not have the option to load incorrect module versions
Yes i've set the subversion as well but without the patches from samsung its impossible it seems. We need to wait and hope that they release the froyo kernel sources soon....

Are you sure they set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS? It's off in the downloadable sources.
Just compare the output of `modinfo -F vermagic <yourmodule>` to `modinfo -F vermagic <modulewhichloads>` or to /proc/version .
did this get solved yet? I google'd for the tun.ko file for my i9000 using jp3 but nothing yet... if you have a proper one for the MoDaCo version here please attach it! ~
I think I saw someone's post with tun.ko for FroYo beta somewhere in these forums, I mean i9000 Android Dev. One of the guys here has found a way to compile kernel for jp* here. I am sure.
I actually found it attached somewhere in the forum and it was 1,5447 mb big I think it was... but it still didn't work for me so I presumed the kernel or something must have been wrong.
What I have done so far:
1) setup cross compiling
2) downloaded the HTC-provided kernel source
3) wrote my own lkm & Makefile
4) grabbed .config from /proc/config.gz off the phone
The problem though is that the distributed HTC kernel is only the source and it doesn't have the compiled files used in the kernel module building processing. It also doesn't have the autoconf files are shown here in the make error:
" ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."
So I am wondering, do I have to compile my own kernel in order to be able to compile modules or is there someway to make it work with the stock HTC kernel? Loadable modules are enabled in the stock kernel, but unless I am missing something I don't see how you can actually compile modules for it.
Thanks for any help, and I am very experienced with kernel development (on Intel) so feel free to provide any technical details.
Here we go
Common gingerbread-samsung git branch for all of us
This branch contains the fixed Gingerbread source (compiling and working) everyone of us may use as reference git repository.
Fixed in this source:
- all cleaned up gitignores
- missing FSR in Makefile
Take also a look at the updated README.txt that will explain you how to compile and get it working with modules
Also: makes sure you disable, in .config:
[*] Automatically append version information to the version string in menuconfig or CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO in .config
It will help each developer to exchange patches easily because of the common starting point.

What supercurio means, is that he's offering to have a common GIT repository for the official Samsung kernel of the GT-I9000 (and similar phones).
The GIT tree would contain only Samsung drops and possible other upstream fixes/changes (the kernel being loosely based on the Nexus S kernel, there's at least Samsung and Google as different upstream), as well as bug fixes. No new features etc except maybe Voodoo.
The advantage of that is that the ones not using GIT yet could fork it and make their own kernel variation on a STABLE base. They could also issue pull requests for fixes they made, which would profit everyone. That's the open-source spirit and way of doing things efficiently by the way.
Note that the current GIT already contains fixes for compiling and using Samsung's GB sources with Samsung's firmwares (and binary modules).
I certainly support this idea.

How you can fork this repository:
- clone it via github directly
or, if you prefer keeping only this gingerbread branch directly, on your dev computer:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_gt-i9000.git -b gingerbread-samsung
cd linux_gt-i9000
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git://your-new-remote-repository.git
git remote add common git://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_gt-i9000.git
This way, for people re-using Vodooo sound for example, it will be as easy as:
Code:
git fetch common
git merge gingerbread-voodoo-sound
If you have more idea of collaboration like that, express yourself
FAQ:
Q: Bleh! I hate this Kernel/ directory.
A: Yes, this was the case for the original commits but now it's a standard Linux repository with everything on its root.
But it didn't worked as expected, so I had to make the change, sorry for the inconvenience to the early adopters.
Q: What happens when Samsung update their source code tarballs
A: I'll update the common git repository accordingly (hopefully fast enough for you)
On your side, all you'll need to do will is.
Code:
git fetch common
− or git fetch git://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_gt-i9000.git
git merge gingerbread-samsung
Say good bye to messy tarballs!
PS: if you're looking to initramfs, take a shot at https://github.com/project-voodoo/samsung_initramfs − contribution welcome.
Good idea, I second that, it will be easier

The gingerbread-samsung branch promoted here will only contain Samsung kernel sources and won't interfere with other developers modifications.
Only exception is if this source is broken and needs something to work, like nikademus's patch: https://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_gt-i9000/commit/6c8f989f58999770d23236bb172c3a4e1c80586b
It seems that JVK and JVB was pulled from Kies because of an update problem. Looks like we're going to have new ROMs to play with in a week or two (maybe less)
Edit: What about the SSL fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040005)

Any chance this code will boot with preempt enabled? Does the MTD driver work with the OneNAND partitions like the NS code does? I'd kind of like to get away from FSR/RFS and such....

The code has many similarities with Nexus S one (build from it IMO) and is preempt too
Just a note, I had to edit the Makefile to set the crosscompile variable to the right path
Question: is the generated zImage flashable through ODIN? Don't we need to add the initramfs?

Excellent! I just did a defconfig to check it out and saw the preempt in there.. Nice to see Samsung fixing things up a little. Now I need to get a GB ROM to install so I can try to boot.
Thanks again. I'll send a pull request when I have a Vibrant branch ready. Going for minimal modifications, fix touch button mapping and such. People can add whatever they want after that. Now I need to learn the new code tree... wheee! Hopefully the basics are the same, getting the changes into an i9k froyo kernel is pretty easy.

You will need an initramfs... anyone have a default one we can start with for 2.3?
zImage will have to be in a TAR file to flash with Odin. Heimdall can flash a bare zImage, as can the SGS Kernel Flasher tool for Android.
Oh... think I saw a setting in "make menuconfig" for the cross-compiler prefix. Might be able to avoid Makefile mods....
Sorry for the newb question, but how do we generate the initramfs? I guess we could take the one from stock JVB. But how do we extract it and how do we combine our compiled kernel with it?
On a side note, I noticed that CFQ is the default scheduler. Isn't it better to use No-op for flash memory?
Hi everyone,
recently I have built and flashed on my sgh-t999 (galaxy S3 US tmobile version) CM11 Nightly. For my pro0ject however I need to modify two libraries of the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), libril.so and libreference-ril.so. I tried to modify the ones in the forlder /hardware/ril/ and build everything again with no results. Any change that I made to those files (such as ril.cpp in the folder libril) would not affect the functionality of the phone.
Finally yesterday I understood that when I build those libraries for the target cm-d2tmo-eng, those files that I have modified are not considered at all! When the libraries are built indeed, the system automatically takes the libril.so and libreference.so present in the vendor folder!
The problem is that those libraries in the vendor folder and already compiled and I cannot modify them. The question is:
Is there any way that I compile those libraries from the source code that I have modified?
Thanks,
brok85
Given that there is a unified D2LTE Build on CM, can you elaborate on what changes you wish to make to these libraries ?
To answer your question, You can do one of two things.
Grab the CM Source Code from the Device Tree of D2LTE. Make your relevant changes and check in the changes if they boot ok on your device. That way those changes will be included in future builds of CM and other Roms that use it.
If you do not wish to do so, then you will have to compile those libraries using C++ Compiler on a *NIX box and replace them in the Vendor folder.

Sorry but I am kind of new on this things. I have already downloaded the source code from the device tree and made my modifications in the files ril.cpp contained in [path-to-android-source]/hardware/ril/libril/ril.cpp. What I did was commenting the whole code within the function RIL_onUnsolicitedResponse() and listenCallback() such that in theory, the phone is not able to display incoming calls for example. However after flashing the re-built android I am still able to receve calls. How can I "check in the changes if they boot ok on my device"?

I tried to remove the libril.so in the vendor folder and compile again using

The problem is that when I indicate the target after lunch, the compiler looks for the vendor libraries and stop the build. What I am doing wrong?
Sounds like Compiler Dependacy path is set different from the code base. I will look further before commenting.
For when your changes are for the benefit of the community of users, you check in the changed code back to the Device Tree with detailed comments within the code and while checking in.

Actually now I think I was able to compile the library following your instructions. Unfortunatly, when I have built and flashed everything in the galaxy S3, I was not able to use the network. Probably some compatibility issue?
When I compiled libril.so, I have obtained it from the folder /hardware/ril/libril which should contain google source code, maybe not compatibale with my device...is it right?
thanks a lot for the help guys

You know, silly question. But just so we can rule out. Did you at any point compiled the CM11 code as is and flashed to the phone ? How did Network behave ? Was everything ok ?
Galaxy S3 is a very open platform with standard hardware and chipsets. So the Default google code should work out of box with it. If you have network issues, then just for kicks you can flash a custom Kernel on top of your compiled CM 11. See how that goes.

Galaxy S3 is a very open platform with standard hardware and chipsets. So the Default google code should work out of box with it. If you have network issues, then just for kicks you can flash a custom Kernel on top of your compiled CM 11. See how that goes.

The procedure I have followed is the following one:
1) Delete the llibril.so and libreference-ril.so from the vendor library. These are the pre-compiled vendor libraries that I need to modify.
2) commented the lines from the vendor-blobs.mk that were including those two precompiled libraries.
3) go to android/system/ and run "mmm /hardware/ril/libril" and "mmm /hardware/ril/reference-ril" to obtain the modified libril.so and libreference-ril.so respectively.
4) copied the new libraries just obtained in the vendor folder where the pre-compiled libraries were
5) re-include the lines commented in point 2).
6) run brunch d2tmo
7) flash the .zip obtained
Any mistake?

You know, silly question. But just so we can rule out. Did you at any point compiled the CM11 code as is and flashed to the phone ? How did Network behave ? Was everything ok ?

No silly question at all. Yes I have built everything out of the box and worked perfectly. I could use the network.

I followed the following procedure to include my modified libraries:
1) Eliminate precompiled vendor libraries: libril.so and libreference-ril.so from the vendor folder
2) comment lines in the vendor-blobs.mk that included those two precompiled libraries
3) from /android/system/ executed command "mmm /hardware/ril/librail" and "mmm /hardware/ril/reference-ril" to obtain the modified libril.so and libreference-ril.so
4) copied the new libraries in the vendor folder in the same places were the precompiled libraries were positioned
5) re-include the two lines that were commented in point 2)
6) build everything again with brunch d2tmo
7) flash the .zip obtained
Any mistake?
Unless I am having a brain fart that process seems about right. I wonder if your RIL changes are related to the network
What kind of issues do you see ?

It cannot even find the network operators. It says that it is impossible to connect and to try later...
mine is the Tmobile version of S3. May this influence?
That would depend on the changes you made. But otherwise not really. The underlying Device tree is unified for all US S3 devices.
