[DEV] Official Kernel Sources for Xperia 2012 devices [posted at GITHUB]

------\\ IMP INFO //-------
LAST UPDATED:
25/March/2012
Latest Kernel Sources:
6.0.A.3.62
------// IMP INFO \\-------
hello guys,
i have pushed the Official kernel sources for various Xperia 2012 devices to my github account... to keep the various FW versions at same place i have created branches for each firmware kernel source... i think this will help other dev/advance users as they can now easily get all relevant files at one place and easily compare changes in firmware sources... and of-course a git repo is a much better way to browse source code than a tar ball
Xperia-2012-Official-Kernel-Sources
(INCLUDES THESE FW VERSIONS)
i will try my best to keep those sources updated
Request to MODS: may be u guys can sticky this as it will always be useful for devs/advance users
regards,
DooMLoRD

Kernel sources for following firmware:
6.0.A.3.62
6.0.A.4.1

I though Sony might introduce kernel 3.0 on Xperia S..

Hi Doomlord,
Do you have any idea when we could download youre new kernel for the xperia s and get a ics rom ???
Greets Remco

We want to make a new ICS rom for this, but without the phone it is very hard to do

without a phone or software what do you mean.... and maybe if you tell how it could be done make youre own rom we could help you

Without the sources and the phone i guess
DoomLord yet has to receive/buy his Xperia S, and it'll take time for the Devs to get their hands on their Xperia's
Wait for a while

updated kernel sources with 6.0.A.3.62 FW sources

Hi there Doomlord,
I there some progress on the rom`s and kernels ??

Yep.I agree with you and you all should read this,

I'm selling my S2 for xperia s; the potential is indeed high, seems like sony have done it right this time. Wait for ICS to launch, give a crap about developing GB. /)

Would this work on a ZL with AOSP (PAC ROM) flashed? Or is it just limited to stock Sony?

The app works on any ics and above device unless there's something unexpected. Only official supported device get thread created like this though. So it should work.

1. Good job
2. Deserves to be sticky in general
3. Unlocked bootloader with 4.3 can be rooted (downgrading is pain in arse)
4. We know that 6502/3 stock/rom works on each other still it is not advisable to do
For example consider me (globaly recognized noob) flashed it wrongly i know its ally mistake but they will blame you cause you advised them
5. We have one thread like this so ask mods to merge that and this thread to avoid confusion
6. You missed all spark's AOSP kernel, 78kernel.
7. You missed hell lot of things
8. Nuts recovery is good one
9. The cwm you linked is for unlockedbootoader only
10. There are two cm from fxp and cm both have same source but different release pattern so provide link to threads
11. Add work in progress in title so you can sort everything out
No offense just helping you to sort things out if you need my help throw me a PM.
Add a faq section below my post or you can use my post so everything is in line.
You tried to do something helpful so kudos

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?

Add Z3 Compact support please I'll be your test guinea pig. How different would it be from the Z3 build besides the ram and screen everything else is the same correct?

sry - didn't mean to edit after you quoted - I misread earlier post and thought z3 binaries were available already (and I got confused when the shinano git page instructions linked to a dead page ).

Thanks, I didn't think you could unlock the T-mo version. Would love to buy the unlockable one from Sony but I have a wife that override that decision...lol. But made my decision on jumping to the Nexus 6 much easier. Thanks for the info!

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
