i just wanted to check with other people that currently has the HTC One X
i just bought mine yesterday and while checking though the phone i noticed the kernel version as something i didn't recognize.
does anyone know what kernel this is for the HTC One X ?

I though HTC is using Kernel v3 ...
I thought so too, I had a chance to get my hands on the device in HTC concept store at NEX mall and was surprise also to see that the kernel is not the latest one(well, same for Sony's ICS) . But man the phone is pretty awesome in actual, the screen is just superb compared to my Sony Arc. Will try to get the thing tomorrow if M1 can give me a good deal on early recontract.

The One X, the Transformer Prime, and as could be seen at MWC the LG Optimus 4x HD uses the same kernel which is 2.6.39.4. I guess its related to tegra, tegra 2 phones were a couple of kernel releases behind too compared to competitors.
Wonder if this is some kind of a set back compared to other soc's?
Wtf? So no kernel 3.0?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium HD app
The 2.6.39.4 kernel is currently the latest one for Tegra3 devices. I guess nVidia sill needs some time to release a public 3.x version to the OEMs.
But as 2.6 and 3.0 are mostly the same this shouldn't be a problem.

Yup i read the same in Linux Forum that there is only minor changes they just gave version 3.0. Here is a quote from that article.
So what are the big changes?
NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is just about renumbering, we are very much not doing a KDE-4 or a Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ('20 years') instead.
"So no ABI changes, no API changes, no magical new features - just steady plodding progress. In addition to the driver changes (and the bulk really is driver updates), we've had some nice VFS cleanups, various VM fixes, some nice initial ARM consolidation (yay!) and in general this is supposed to be a fairly normal release cycle. The merge window was a few days shorter than usual, but if that ends up meaning a smaller release and a nice stable 3.0 release, that is all good. There's absolutely no reason to aim for the traditional '.0' problems that so many projects have

One S has a 3.x kernel
...and isn't a Tegra device.
The Tegra 2-based Asus Transformer TF101 also doesn't have a 3.x kernel on ICS.

Too bad.... No kernel source, Pure Sense vs Expresso, GB vs Froyo, different camera libraries (8 mega vs 5 mega, with additional processing for instant on)... Who ever ports this will be just like all the other crappy ports of Sense 2.1 we have all over the forums... you will have weird bugs, weird crashes, things don't work right etc etc... Once a real kernel source is released, then we can talk about a real port....

Ya except this one will include the latest Sense 3.0 as opposed to the Sense 2.1 rom/ports that are out, correct? I just love the new lockscreen included in 3.0!

correct it is new 3.0, plus w/o kernel source, keep in mind that this ROM is designed for dual-core MSM8260 chipset, so im sure itll be a little fun to play with and try and get working
I've had no problems at all with the sense 2.1 port I'm running
a few things don't work right, but they're pretty minor for most people
So now that there is a dump what else is needed for a port

I remember they said the same thing about the original sense running on the G1/MT3G, but. It did, although it was more of a space issue than chip issue. Besides Gingerbread doesn't even support dual core, a couple games might, but the OS itself doesn't. That won't happen until ice cream.
Of course without the kernel source there are gonna be bugs. Cams won't work, funny wifi and Bluetooth. The usual stuff. But it will be fun to play with.

Hi,
Now I did search as much as possible on the interwebs, like tiamat's blog, xda, miui forums etc. So I guess I'll go ahead and ask this sorta noob question eek: oh no he didn't ).
Why are there no 3.0 kernels and what would be the advantage of them? On a tangent, I note that even the transformer prime has no 3.0 kernel...

Linux kernel version 3.x. As in we are currently using kernel version 2.6.35.x.. Galaxy nexus has 3.08 kernel or something.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
We're currently using modified gingerbread kernels (the 2.6 ones i think?) because we havent received kernel source from HTC yet
This phone is slated for an ICS update, once we get that and kernel source i'm pretty sure a 3.0 kernel will follow
It's because we don't have an official update yet. That's what all the ICS roms are pretty much waiting for - an offical ICS kernel from HTC.

Okay. So as I understand the kernel will have several proprietary modules and therefore we can't compile our own 3.0 kernel yet? As it may cause several incompatibilities, am I right?

No, we just can't compile one because we don't have source.

I am confused. The linux kernel is open source. So the Source code for the 3.0 kernel is available. So, what do you mean by "we don't have source"? Are you referring to any drivers whose modules we may not have as they are proprietary? Or something else?
Anyway, I just realized thanks to this article that the 3.0 kernel is no big deal and has no new, "awesome" features and is not a major jump like the GB to ICS, or gnome 2 to gnome 3, or the KDE 3 to KDE 4 jump... Just a new numbering scheme. So, may be the kernel we have now is more than enough to run ICS (except for the camera glitch though...)
Thanks for the responses guys!

The Linux kernel is, yes. However, a kernel is very device specific. So, without having one from an OTA or better yet, HTC releasing kernel source code for this device specifically, we can't make any. So far (as stated before), all our ics ROMs are using hacked up gingerbread kernels (which is an incredible feat in itself). We have basic kernel source code, sure, but what we're lacking is the proprietary drivers, libs, and other stuff that makes this device run.
Hope this all made sense.

Each kernel is device specific with the oem s specific changes....it is possible to build one without the.exact source...but you would need some similar source for reference like teamhacksung using the nexus s as a base for sgs phones

Yes, this helps me understand it better. Anyway, I'm not really waiting for the 3.0 kernel anymore as I learned it was just a renumbering scheme! I was expecting I could launch a space shuttle with it, like I can drive my car supersonic with ICS (hehehe..) But it apparently has just the usual dose of bug fixes compared to our current kernel.
Thanks y'all!
Does any one know if there will be a CM9 release for the DHD? Will it have Linaro incorporated in it? Is there any other way we might be getting a taste of the performance enhancements in Linaro?
Was just wondering if anyone has heard anything related to the matter. What I had read about performance enhancement ranging form 50- 100 % by just software tweaks sounds amazing :S
LCD has added it to his roms. The CM team has stated on Facebook that they will not be adding it right away due to it breaking random things.
People are expecting a lot more improvements then they will really see.

LCD? is that lord clockan? have you tried the rom? did you feel linaro made any visible improvements?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Yes sorry auto correct made LC to LCD by mistake. While there is some improvement it is not the next best thing to hit Android. Also remember the board they were working with was a nexus board made for ICS as to what we have are hacked together builds.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk 2
cool ... Im holding out untill the official ics release for dhd so as to avoid all the camera issues. Anyways there was one article talking about google integrating linaro into its original software so who knows. .. we might see an ics update from google and hopefully that could be enough to automatically take those changes across devices.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Linaro is breaking a number of things at the moment. Besides, the CM source is frozen, won't be accepting anything into the release branch unless it is a bug fix or device support I believe.

you're right: linaro changes has been abandoned and cm9 won't have that stuff.
this is truly amazing, I'm happy to see our devs recognize useless things (like your beloved linaro)
Its not that it was dropped because it was useless. In fact stuff from linaro have been merged and will be. Steve doesn't think its a good idea to currently switch to gcc4.7 which linaro uses. 4.7 is not as tested and mature as 4.6 so it does cause some issues/breaks things. So Steve chose to stick for 4.6 at least for now

FYI I've merged/rebased the Tegra 3 platform kernel (3.1.10) with mainline Linux kernel v3.3. github repo/tf700 forum thread. I'm working with Asus TF700T's kernel sources. While the kernel is certainly different than the one used by HTC One X, comparatively few additional modifications would be needed to port it to HTC One X as both of them are built on the same Tegra 3 SOC. I plan to continue until at least mainline Linux v3.5 is merged.

With all this talk about how the gnex can't run 4.4 because ti no longer releases drivers for android and the 3.4 kernel being required, it's making my head spin. I've also heard my phone has always been on 3.4....wait what? Shouldn't all devices with the same android version run the same kernel? Now I'm hearing it's possible to build kitkat with the old kernel.... I'm going to go throw up and pass out...
Really just want some clarification on this subject

1) Our phone's always been on 3.0 kernel, which was announced End Of Life this October.
2) Not necessarily new Android versions need new kernel versions. Even 2.6 kernel can run Android 4.1, which typically requires 3.0 or 3.4 kernel.

At the basic, the KERNEL is the low level base code on which all instructions are set. Lets say is in charge of dictate how things are done, again, at the very low level.
Thus Kernel is only needed if your phone has functions or features that are only found in that Kernel version. Lets say that kernel 3.4 has rules on how manage bluetooth 4.0 LE, but our Galaxy Nexus doesnt have Bluetooth 4.0.(Isnt ???). Those that kernel is not really required.
Things become more complex as you add more variables like memory managment, I/O managment, and those thing that improve over each update and maybe are needed in order to work with newer OS version.
I cant really tell you features that are needed in KitKat 4.4 against Kernel 3.4 not found in Kernel 3.0, so I'm not the man that can tell you if bringin(or the lack of) 4.4 to our GNex is a middle finger from Google or not.
Yeah I got curious about some stuff so I decided to manually look at what kernal every device is running. My 4 is 3.4 now, nexus 7 first gen is 3.1, my wife's nook with cm10.2 is 3.0, and my buddies gnexes are also 3.0, while the kitkat kernal is actually 3.8

Crazy. So is there any hope for the developer community to build kitkat Roms that fully work for the galaxy nexus or is development dead beyond 4.3 other than experimental builds that stuff like the front camera/GPS/Bluetooth doesn't work?
