Gingerbread Kernel Source Code Available; Homebrew Ports Coming?

Kernel Source for Google Nexus S Released
December 15, 2010 By: ElCondor
Android development for the Google Nexus S has now begun. The kernel source – originally made available upon the official phone release – has already been released by Brian Swetland, an Android kernel developer. This source code can be further investigated and explored by developers. Ultimately, this will lead to achieving development milestones much earlier than usual. One example is to root the phone just a few hours or days after it gets released.

Thank you Brian !
XDA member supercurio created a thread in the Nexus S forums. Make sure to check it out to follow the discussion, or continue directly to the developer kernel site.

yeah.. it's out:

i wonder why it takes to long to get a first build

Probably its just a matter of mili seconds before one pops up Cant wait >.<

Long like more than half a day? Lol.

Don't you need the source for the rest of the OS as well to build a full system?

The source is available now.

Here you can see whats going on with the CyanogenMod devs.

The question will soon become 'do I root and flash a custom Gingerbread rom... or wait to see if HTC release one...'

root anyway the custom roms are far superior

Theres a test build of Gingerbread in the oxygen thread

I'm unable to find it. Could you post a link?

Tempted, even if I just had a rooted stock and remove some of the junk that is in the rom's...

If you're happy with the stock ROM, don't bother. You'll end up flashing ROMs all the time, always trying the newest or different ones - which is fun for sure, but not really necessary and often quite frustrating.

Can't wait to boot 2.3 on my Desire!

I start dev and now have a small features.

I was on DoomLord V6 Kernel and flashed this one, didn't really noticed anything (bad or good) just that the cpu is oc to 1.7ghz by default.
Looking forward for next features, thanks for still doing some dev on XS.

Glad....we've got a new kernel developer...
Umm...can you Import the features from this kernel...It's a really awesome kernel...!!

Not forum rules. XDA is a proprietary as it gets and has no ties with FSF . Its the General Public Licence that its in fact the reason why you have to link source code. You are not allowed to modify that licence, you are allowed to distribute as long as the same licence is carried over and the source is made available. Since the Android system started as GPL, everything based after it will and must be GPL.

Have any source code?

The last time I used this was back a couple of months ago. The reason I moved back to stock was random reboots on twonky beam app.
Other than that it was quite good. Though for me the ringtones were too quiet

Actually this ROM is too unstable for daily use, and some features are missing. Update: How the "XDA rule" says: Do NOT ask for ETA. RaymanFX has got some exams to pass it first, so be patient until he finishes those exams. But anyway. Before you make a topic, use the search function.

Cool, thanks! Any love for the Z3C?

Can we do this for the T-Mobile Z3? I thought the boot loader is not able to be unlocked. If it is unlockable, I will get this device tomorrow.

Brilliant news, thanks for this. Now hope has grown for custom Roms coming sooner! Cheers

I am 99% certain the T-Mobile Z3 will not be unlockable. Not very "un-carrier" of them.
HOWEVER:
For the first time in North American history, in addition to being available via carriers, a Sony flagship is being offered unlocked in a timely fashion in North America. If you're in the USA (which, since you're asking about T-Mo USA, I assume you are), you can get a SIM-unlocked (and hence bootloader-unlockable) Z3 at http://store.sony.com/xperia-z3-lte...atid-All-Unlocked-Phones?vva_ColorCode=FFFFFF

I'd love to get a pure AOSP build going on my Z3 Compact

Hi @Entropy512, if I well remember you are a senior dev (omni and in the past CM maintainer for SGS3 intl)?
How do you judge the information given by Sony to develop AOSP?
Why are the Original Android dev forum so empty in your opinion for this beast?

now that lg g3 has lollipop would be nice to get our Z3 back up to the top of the news reports with aosp binaries update ~ I've got repos sync'd, patches applied, and device page bookmarked for periodical checking ✌

What toolchain are you guys using to compile the kernel of https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel ?
could anyone compile a kernel with as modules and share the hid-sony.ko and hid-dr.ko module files?
I think that would help to have Remote Play PS4 in non Z3 and Z2 devices.
the option to compile those 2 modules as separate modules is in menuconfig > Device Drivers > HID Devices > Special HID Drivers and then
M in DragonRise Inc. game controller
M in Sony PS3 Controller
it would be much appreciated.
I would even pay if someone can share me those 2 files from the Z3 kernel source (or Z3 phone) as I tried to compile the kerel to get those files but I'm failing like a mother****er

use http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/
kernel compile guide and you can succesfully compile it

[Q] Compile kernel

I thought of developing a kernel so that i can use it with my CM11 that im going to port shortly. I thought I'll compile the stock kernel from source itself. I use android pre-built tool chain (arm-eabi-4.6)
I get a lot of compiler errors on stock kernel without any modifications itself...
Do i need to change my tool chain?
Sent from my One V using XDA Free mobile app

I never tried to build the stock kernel, but I think they did it with the android 4.0 toolchain.
To run CM, you need a CM-Kernel. You have to port things from the stock or a custom kernel (like Hellboy by maxwen) to the cm11 kernel.
Try to use rastomanchiks kernel sources (https://github.com/rastomanchik/android_kernel_htc_primou). This kernel is mostly working, stable and has a good battery life now.
I'd also like to build cm11, but my download speed is to slow to download the sources.

Exactly. Even my download speed is slow. And i have a cap also. After 8GB, my download speed drastically decreases. It takes ages to sync the sources...

How different is Cm kernel from stock? I mean what changes should i make?
Sent from my One V using XDA Free mobile app

Cm needs many features which aren't included in the stock kernel and also you should get ION memory allocator working.

I can't help you with porting, because all the porting work was done by rastomanchik and I chatted with him. You'd have to ask him about this, but he wasn't online the last weeks and can't speak english without google translator.

Actually I insist on porting myself so that I can learn building properly.
Actually these things are also interesting.. fixing bugs and all...
Have series of exams till May end. I cant build properly until then. I thought why not learn something..
Where did you learn about building and other stuff. Also I want to build the device tree on my own.
If you could specify some sources to learn, that would be grateful!

This is exactly the same point of view I had when I started some months ago
Sadly, there isn't much documentation about own device trees and own kernels out there.
There also is no reference device tree, so every dev does it in his own way. I'm always trying to have a clean, easy device tree and use the CM ones as a reference.
You can find some tutorials about building cm, but only with downloading a ready-to-use device config and kernel.
I just played around with it one or two weeks and learned the most.
If you have enough time, please at least try to get into this stuff, maybe we can get cm12 running.
You can reach me on irc in the channel #hov on freenode.

I have sufficient time only after May. Till then I'll have to do some research and learn the basics.
I saw on the CM wiki page, it says you can run a prebuilt kernel also... So would it work if we could tweak the stock kernel a bit?
And how do I apply patches to the kernel?

Yes you can use a prebuilt kernel, but it will only work if the kernel supports you cm version.
You apply patches to a kernel by changing files or directories in the kernel. For example you can use another fs module (maybe with more functions) by copy and pasting the folder for the module from another kernel. The problem is, the new module may require some functions your kernel does not have so it won't compile.
