I didn't no, but then again I'm not looking to port a kernel, so try asking your question in the section that's there to help, or read the material that's freely available using google (like I just did to see what's available) to help with your quest.

I cant find any tutorial on how to potr kernels. So Im asking it in a thread.
Sorry if I posted in wrong place, but no subforum for the Pro.
Hi! Developing kernels is way to different than just porting ROMs. Also you don't port kernels you develop them from scratch. There's no way to port a kernel into another device.
Here's a very2 basic tutorial on building kernel for Xperia but you still won't understand it without proper knowledge.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
Here's the source code.
http://dl-www.sonymobile.com/cws/download/1/105/457/8/1339505718/4_1_B_0_431_tar.bz2
Take note that source code doesn't contain any modifications compiling that right away would just leave you a replica of stock kernel without overclocking, volting, tweaks etc.
Kernel development is a critical part of android customization and anyone is not recommended to play with it even for average developers. It could harm your device to the point that it would burn out or explode.

My point was to try asking in the section dedicated to Android development, as you'll probably get better help or pointers than you will by posting it here, and if you've not found anything at all in regards to kernel building/porting then you're obviously not using google correctly.

WoW Riyal, who is this guy I see you everwhere, are you the BEST android developper???
Can u PLZZZ make Arc knight kernel for Xperia Pro ??? I have some money to donate if u want, or help me do and answering questions / problems im facing.
PLz reply thanks!
I'm not the best android developer in fact I am not an android developer.
I am a server administrator and a programmer and it's just I am also a linux kernel developer.
It just so happens that I am the only and sole android kernel developer which is this active for Xperia Pro. If you don't trust me feel free to approach any other developers like FXP and cross fingers that he would reply to you.
I'll try to look for any arc night sources if I found one I'll guide you if not then try ask the creator of arcnight for it's sources then I'll help you.
Ok here's a quick tutorial. I am not good at teaching things so I hope you understand that. I would also assume you have at least basic knowledge with linux and compiling stuff. If not then learn it first before proceeding.
1st.
You must have a linux machine. No windows only linux.
2nd.
download arcnight kernel sources here.
https://github.com/Jimbo77/Arc-Night-Kernel--4.1.C.0.7-/zipball/master
3rd.
go to kernel/arch/arm/configs/
You should be able to see lot's of config files there just pick these 2.
ArcKnight_defconfig
semc_iyokan_defconfig
4th.
Now compare both files make sure that everything in semc_iyokan_defconfig should be also in ArcKnight_defconfig
Ex. if a config in arcKnight says
# CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN is not set
while config in semc_iyokan_defconfig says
CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN=y
Then change arcknight's config and match it with iyokan's
5th.
Download eabi here.
https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/[email protected]=lite
6th
follow everything in here.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
7th.
in the line
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
on sony's dev page change it instead to
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make ArcKnight_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done.
Note that I am not responsible if you brick your device. You are using a kernel made for Arc/Arc S and also I am not the developer of that kernel to assure you that it doesn't have any changes which would affect any specific device in any way.
I started and understand the setup etc. but not part 6, when I run terminal and type ''cd kernel'' it says
bash: cd: kernel: File or map doesnt exist

AND Ive downloaded eabi. Its a .bin file [is that ok?] and I cant open it! How can I open it??

arc isnt supported...........
plus ive done that b4 i want to actually make a difference and help with coding and get to the base of android OS to see what functions (plz no binary LOL)
I thought it would be great to post TripNRaVeR's CM9 kernels, extracted from his CM9 and repacked into our latest base
This kernel also includes an interesting "lagfree" kernel, use system tuner to try it out
Be sure to thank TripNRaVeR or donate for his work
Kernel source is available on his github
https://github.com/TripNRaVeR

- TripNRaVeR Kernel 014 - repacked for Sense 1.29.401.11 ramdisk

why? franco's mentions him in his kernel and paul obrian get to post his modaco's rom in here
so whats wrong? his work is amazing
if a mod can tell us if this would be allowed, it would be great
I am not supporting Trips work, he does not like to share with the community...

what am i missing, anyway lets close this i guess, seems im digging a mess
You are not allowed to post anything from him on xda -.-
As he don't like xda due some reasons and he doesn't share anything.
Btw on which cm9 are you running your one x
... You can press the thanks button, if you like. Makes me happy and motivates to help more people
alright sorry guys i had no idea
a mod can delete this
ill change this title
I dont get that, his work is used in several peoples custom kernels, are they not allowed to?
Also from what I see he publishes his work on git and gives permission for other devs to use it so whats not being shared? Im not arguing to say hey lets allow it just to understand what hes doing/done thats wrong.
Disclaimer:
TripNDroid Mobile Engineering accepts no claims for anything that may happen to youre device because of flashing our software. This is youre own responsibillity.
First, do not use my work without explicit permission! Secondly, XDA doesnt want my work on there "forum" therefore you dont have permission to use my work as a base and then post it on XDA. It will still be my work! Neither you have permission to use my work as a base for MIUI roms and then post it on XDA. None of this is my personal choice, it is XDA that doesnt want my work so obey the rules!

thats his opinion.
This kernel work just on cm9 or is compatibile with charmeleon,modaco and revolution rom?

Kernel source is available on my github
https://github.com/TripNRaVeR
well he shares his kernel sources now.
but i am not sure if you can do that hamdir.
Best way would be to ask him .
That's kind of my point his works there on git, and I know other dev's have asked for and received permission from him to use parts of his code in their own work.
He clearly is trying to distance himself from what ever the issue was that sparked all this, and is saying don't put his stuff on XDA because they wont like it. It seams to me like he's trying to be part of the overall developer community without antagonising XDA. It doesn't seam like he's doing anything wrong to warrant such a ban, that's this bit I don't understand what happened in the past etc.
XDA and TripNRaVeR have been in a dispute for a while, I think it's best not to post his work on the forum until everything's settled down.
Although it's probably an honest mistake on Hamdir's behalf, but there's a good reason that his work isn't published on XDA.
exactly his quote shows he doesnt mind sharing he just blames it on XDA
the idea behind this thread was to post his kernel repacked + modules to work on sense ROMs
anyway we will need someone from the mods to tell us how to proceed next
I'm not seeing what the problem is, the kernel is accompanied with the source/github.
.
is not necessary change modules??
I think it just don't like to share his ROM. He has made the kernel sources available so others can use it. so I think it's fine.
modules uploaded
now a mod can delete this or lock it, its up to him and xda top guys
no point in this discussing this any further
i have a question.....
1) i have just try 2 guide and some test....but all finish with "istallation aborted or not boot"
i want to port a rom from Xperia T to my xperia arc??? there is any possibily?? how can i do?

It is possible. BUT you need way more experience, and since you don't have no offence, not possible for you
Try Xperia T style ROM if you want Xperia T Style (lol) or try other ROMs to see what fits your need the best

Well you could start by showing a bit of initiative. You are a member of the best site to start learning which isn't just limited to the Arc section and there is a wealth of information out there to help you so start Googling, reading, watching and learning as it's the only way you're going to. If you're scared of bricking your Phone two or three times a day for a week in your spare time then give up now.

Hello!
I've been flashing ROMs for a while and I'm getting interested in development. While there are many guides for how to flash ROMs, etc. I couldn't find any post explaining how to begin if you want to become a dev.
Through some googling, there is useful information, but its dispersed, and I think it would be awesome if someone creates a beginner's guide in our SXS forum.
Things that should be covered in my opinion:
-how to help devs by reporting bugs (how to do it right?)
-understand android
-well how to develop?
I would do such a guide by myself, but I don't I think that I know enough about it.
I would really really appreciate help, as I think this will be very useful for any beginner. I'm not a native speaker, so apologise for any errors...

~how to develop
I suggest starting with kernels
Try learning to add some changes (cpu OC/aditional patches , govenors and schedulers)
Then once you've mastered kernel editing then look for some of the Cyannogenmod Guides to building for your device
Once you've mastered that then well, you can develop anything that is coded in C anything based on C
First, thanks!
So basically I should start learning C? Do you have some websites which you can recommend me? (Beside Cyanogenmod's...)

Apart from websites, please do read Head First C and C: The Programming Language by Dennis Ritchie and Brian Keringhan. They are good books:thumbup:
And once you've got a good hang of the language, check out Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love. It's an awesome book.
Good luck

umm according to me learning C is important but it comes later..Before that you need to understand the following
1. Linux- When i started out, i had no idea how a linux system works and naturally half the time went in learning about it( Now i love it..)
My suggestion : try to install a linux based distro..i would suggest ubuntu...If you dont want to install another OS then just install virtualbox and install Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 and try to mess around with it..
2. Android- If you know a bit about linux then this will get simplified....you will know what a kernel means and how the partitions are different from Windows,why we root our devices,what is open source etc..
3-Next is your choice: You wanna build a ROM,a kernel,a tool is all upto you...first thing will naturally be getting the source...i agree with envious_data here...first try with building a kernel...you will learn loads...my suggestion...first build a kernel without tweaking anything.....i.e. stock kernel...then add tweaks and build(this is the time you'll need a bit of knowledge about C)
I can help you with one thing...if you wanna know a bit more about android then i had written a small guide here a few days back..
Also i have compiled a tool containing a few utilities..which should get you started....but don't rely totally on the tool...study and use the tool simultaneously if you are using it...you can download it through my signature...first link...
have fun coding....

Actually I´m using Linux for a while now, and yes I love it, don´t want to use windows anymore. I also began some coding in C but anyway I was lacking a clear guide for where to begin. Maybe I should just begin building a kernel. I think the CyanogenMod Wiki explains that in a good way, doesnt it?
I´ll try your tool then, too! Thanks bro!

Hello fellow XDA members, I recently purchased a Le Pro 3 and a Le S3 during the flash sale and would like to use Cyanogenmod on my devices. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever ported a ROM before as I have not, and only know about the CM porting guide and opensource.le.com for the kernel source. If anyone has any tips or would like to assist me in porting CM13 to the Pro 3 please reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks, and let's hope LeEco releases the source soon!
Love to help but this isn't my department ????. But we should probably see more support in a couple more days once they start arriving here
Just out of curiousity, what exactly had you hoped to achieve with this post? If you're interested in porting, ideally you should at least be able to build a rom (for another pre-existing device)... and then you'll have to hunt down help on the CM forums and then eventually IRC.
Talking about this on XDA is pointless.

The purpose of my post was to see if anyone in the XDA community had experience porting a ROM to a new device, and if they'd be interested in helping me. I have read through a few guides and understanding building a ROM, but am struggling to find what I must "merge." From what I've found so far, I'll need to edit/merge the directories in /system/libs and edit the kernel?

No, it's far more complicated than that. You'll need a copy of the kernel for sure, but you'll also need a device definition. You can use the op3's device as a template, it's probably the best example of an msm8996 device you can have.
You really should be checking into the CM forums. CM people are pretty uppity about not supporting things on XDA. They also don't tend to help. Even as a developer I find it difficult sometimes to get their attention. Your best bet is to go to them if you want their help. Good luck.

No, it's far more complicated than that. You'll need a copy of the kernel for sure, but you'll also need a device definition. You can use the op3's device as a template, it's probably the best example of an msm8996 device you can have.

Yeah, I understand. I also found out that it will be about a month until LeEco officially releases all of the source.

Where did you get that information from? They "accidentally" released kernel sources not too long ago and seemingly withdrew it. I got a copy of them and that's what I've been working with. I don't have a device to verify if any of it works.

I asked on this forum. Also my S3 is coming tonight, and my Pro tomorrow. I have a copy of the Pro 3 kernel source as well but as of now don't know what to do. What have you worked on so far?

Not a lot. I've identified the CAF tag the sources are based on and have been working to separate the relevant LeEco mods from the less relevant ones. I've also been attempting to remove the leeco specific things from the drivers that i'm keeping since they're a horrible mess and CM won't be able to make use of them anyway. I've also been finding the appropriate open versions of the drivers and taking the latest ones instead.
The mods from LeEco seem to be a mess, the dmesg output I got from a user on the chinese model (the x720) had segfaults from the modifications just after boot. The logcats are so full of errors I was unable to get the user to send me a full logcat from boot.
Interestingly enough, the chinese system rom looks like it came from a Le Max2. This makes sense since it's LeEco's first msm8996 device, and the Le Pro3 is the second one. I imagine the kernel sources work across a number of the 8996's.
Can you send me the link to where you got the open drivers.

This is not a International version? Its USA version? Where is the International source code?
Here's a mega mirror in case the drive link goes down.

Wish i could help more, but it looks like the kernel source is in there too, perhaps that means a fully functional cm13 rom that works AT LEAST as well as the stock rom. VERY EXCITE!

I'm also waiting for CM13.
