Froyo source code released.What now?

Hi guys!
I've been waiting for Froyo's source code by htc for a long time now,probably as much as most of you around here,and expected that within the first few days,if not hours,we would have an explosion of new versions for Sense roms or even new ones.Well,until now such a thing has not happened as you may have noticed!
How long do you expect it to be until we see the first devs working with the htc kernel source?I know it's a little too early,but I'd expect that most would instantly release something!
Thanks in advance!

Which changes would you like to see? I understand that having the source code kernel can be important for devs, but I don't see directly what can and cannot be changed. I am not a developer, I am a user. Maybe it is a good idea to create a to-do list of possibilities or a wanted changes list or something... just thinking loud .

It's not a question of what changes can be made. It's question of building a kernel which is 100% compatible with our devices. The kernel we are using now is probably from the Nexus One sources. Close, but not 100%.

[KERNEL] -2.6.35- Eternity Project for HTC Vision --- DIRTY --- TEST

Welcome to the Eternity Project Kernel for HTC Vision Thread!
The Eternity Project Kernel for HTC Vision (T-Mobile G2 & HTC Desire Z) is developed for gaining the maximum possible speed mantaining the maximum safety on our devices.
Features:
- Updated kernel (2.6.32.17 -> 2.6.35)
Kernel GIT Repository: http://gitorious.org/eternity-prj/eternityvision_2-6-35
Still some errors to correct.... and need help :|
Stay TuneD!

Thanks! Will test.

good stuff. porting the board files/dependancies, etc. is quite a bit of work, so my hats off to you!
will check it out.
thx for your efforts.

wow another?

I'm not 100% sure that I've ported all correctly (excluding some compiler errors that prevents the building ... and that I'm correcting)... so, well, pershoot, knowing your work I'd be proud if you take a look at the code
Anyway, I've corrected some other things, now I'm dealing with some errors on mddi.c ... I hope it'll be ready to test in some hours
Returning at work!
P.S.: It's ----SO---- dirty! I've uploaded it while testing and error checking!

yup for sure. i've gotten as far as the new QSD SPI bits, and put it down to work on other things... haven't gone back to it yet.

The new QSD SPI bits in the files uploaded are broken (prevents compilation), but locally I've already corrected them.
I've uploaded the files because I've done almost all the work, it needs only another percent of finalization...and I'm not committing every change in the same moment 'cause it would be painful
EDIT: Other things checked and fixed. Changes committed.
EDIT2: I'm stuck at the end. Anyone can help? Thanks!

Has there been any headway on this? I for one think this has a lot of potential.
Sent from my G2

thanks for your work. Is this kernel designed for AOSP or Stock or both? I'd love to have it compatible with Stock Rooted Rom

It's designed to work on stock Android, but I haven't had time to continue the work on it.
Unfortunately now I'm not at home and the only thing that keeps me connected is my G2...and anyway I'm on vacation with my girlfriend so you can understand the situation
However.
I'll watch at this when I'll get back home...
Resuming on 10/01

That is completely understandable, make sure you enjoy yourself. We can wait a little while in the backseat, but an updated kernel would be awesome . Just know that your efforts are appreciated. Thanks, and have fun!

Nandroid, and go for it . At it's current state I would expect a few things to be broken. Actually, gingerbread was designed to work with a .35 kernel so results might be favorable. The absolute worst thing that could happen is a bootloop, and you can fix that by flashing the stock kernel with adb. Let us know how it works.

Sounds cool..... stay safe

Bump for justice!
Do I need to build this to test on MIUI?
And can I OC to 1GHz with it? Or will I need to build one?
Or get someone else to build it

CyanogenMod
What is CyanogenMod?
CyanogenMod is an open source replacement firmware for smart phones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.
It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by mobile device vendors. Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, revoking application permissions, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. According to its developers, CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware, as of 30 May 2013, CyanogenMod has recorded over 5.1 million active installs on a multitude of devices.

Looking forward to see Firefox OS on our precious Gio Good Luck!

Good luck macief

[REQ] Guess what? Right, 3.0 kernel.

@Kernel devs,
Please, congregate your forces and build 3.x kernel for our precious Arc. I bet this will be one of the most (if not The Most) appreciated works. I bet this will be one of the most useful ones too. I bet almost every Arc/S user will agree with me.
Sent from nowhere

Absolutely!

What are the features you are waiting for in 3.0?

soo what does the new kernel provide?! I've seen few comments about users wanting the new kernel, and was wondering what improvement will it do to our Xperia?!

Mods please move this thread to general or Q&A. This thread is for android development, not wish lists.
Yes we'd all love a new kernel, why not bump to 3.5, well the answer to that is closed source drivers. While we should be able to theoretically add most of the maintenance patches to get to the latest 2.6.32.xx, porting to different major versions are just unlikely to be possible for our phone. You can't link against something with a different API, it just won't work.
The first request should be made to Sony to release sources for these drivers. Good luck with that.
So instead of focusing on version numbers, instead ask "Is feature X possible with our current kernel" and the kernel devs will try to accommodate and patch it in.

First of all, this isn't for Wishes and Requests, this is where you share you dev work with everyone, if you have a request then go to general or Q&A.
Second, EVERY DEVELOPER ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT THIS. Everyone IS WORKING on Kernel 3.0, ICS was laggy and JB isn't perfect is because the the lack of support in the kernel. So they don't need a "request"
Third, it is not impossible but very very hard. There is a reason why kernel 3.0 was never ported, because even the best devs like FXP and DoomLord CAN'T. Unless Sony releases their hardware sources or some developers open up his own Arc and get it out, no kernel 3.0 can be ported!

Custom msm7x30 3.0 kernels are still really in infancy stages with no major changes. If anything it's just a facelift but still the same purpose-wise.

Well, for those saing that devs can't do something I would argue - there's a 3.0 kernel being developed for HTC Desire (which also has closed source drivers) and guys working on it are pretty close. Same goes for HTC DHD and HD2 if i'm not mistaken. So why not for our device?

It would be just awesome, beacuse idiots from Sony will pobably never update our kernels. Even HTC Wildfire S (which is little, smarttoy) has 2.6.35.x. It's not big difference, but... It is!

Because there is no Sony msm8255t 3.x kernel released that we can use as a base. There are major changes between 2.6.3x and 3.x kernel so
-all hardware related files (read: cpu, vibra etc) must be updated
-all drivers (read: screen, keys, sound etc) must be updated or rewritten
so it takes a lot of time and learning.
It's done when it's done

I had internal functions in mind (like ssize_t(*show) ), not user level.

Why would anyone think that this thread belongs in Development section, is beyond me.
Moreover, why would anyone think that in such community, known for the breakthroughs that its developers are achieving at a daily basis, such a request thread is needed.
I would like to believe that anyone who has been here long enough knows that if something is possible, it is done.
So, all in all, please think twice before clicking the "Start A New Thread" button.
Thanks for your cooperation.

So trying to compile Kernel with the Kitkat ROM.
To make it happen, Need some support from you guys !

you see i don't own a linux ever. i use windows and my laotop is mostly always filled my own stuff. i need a decent RAM for building a machine for ROM And kernel development. so in that case i never able to succeed. IT require a certain amount of knowldge about programming which i don't know. so here everything stops. Well i tried to ask as much as developers in the past to make us a 3.0 kernel. but the issue is that our processor is way too slow and moreover it is single clock. The biggest thing that hampers the development is the non availability of GPU. After 2.3.7 google has introduced hardware acceleration. That was the last that was enough to kill our willy. Now as the code changes and and API changed with the more powerful phones. So at the end of the tunnel i also came to know that arm 6 processor does not support ART. So whati thought that someone will try to port the kitkat for our willy. But most of the devices that are getting the updates of kitkat are having GPU. I closed down my threats because of this. No one want to work on a device in which the power is way too less. so the main issue is not with kernel i saw HTC Explorer got KITKAT on 2.6 version of kernel though it is buggy but still they got it. Now hell it again has GPU. SO GPU is must for anything to happen after 2.3.7.. SASA's last attempt to built 4.2.2 is the last ray of hope for us. Because there the main developer of the arm 6 supported us for a while but then he vanishes. Well now just imagine for a wonder that somebody will post a KITKAT built. :good:
