[Q] what is a kernel??

what is a kernel?

Hey friends htc releases some devices kernel source code for free....
i don't know What it is exactly?
Is this information helpful for wildfire people.?
can we do anything special with that code??
please tell me...
i am eagerly waiting to know...
for source code follow this..
goto htcdev.com site
and then to devcenter , and downloads..
sry for this description...
this is my first post , the admin not allowing me to post an external link..

its
htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

The releases have nothing to do with the Wildfire.
In simple terms, the kernel allows software to communicate with hardware. A custom kernel lets you adjust settings like CPU speed.

If I'm correct kernels usually come with a ROM.

Basicly its the thing that controlls your speed thats why people get new kernels (to overclock)

So, can you flash a kernel to a custom rom that is better than what came with the rom or would that be a conflict?

The underlining system of a operating system. Wether it be android, unix/linux or windows/mac. Better kernels can be flashed with extra features.

[Request] Ubuntu touch?

I just found some article about ubuntu touch, and it says basicly it is used CM 10.1 if I'm not mistake. And the entry level requirement is 1Ghz and 512 Mb for RAM. I though Ace 2 would be great if we can port it Link to the article
Sorry if wrong section :angel:

Maybe some development can do it but CM for ace 2 don't work full neither 10 - 10.1 and there is priority for now

It would be great!.. We have many devs who can do it!..

Yup!.. I've read the instructions...it's simple!.. just must have more time!..

hmm You really think, with no ( or with general knowledge) about programming this project can be done? I need to follow the instructions and ubuntu touch can boot on our device?

Can you post any updates yet, about the progress?

[Q] Which rom you guys want? Blisspop or mokee??

Which Guys you want mokee or Blisspop for our device? maybe someday someone will make it?

That would be me. Been fighting it for weeks. I forked invisible cm12.1 and am trying everything to get it to optimize. No matter what I try it fails during animation.

You won't sadly until I get it fixed. First need to figure out why. If you can get it far enough for a logcat that would help. I made it adb=insecure

I just made another blisspop for vk810. Feel free to test but no guarantees. Few changes. Probably gonna take some trial and error but I'm determined. I'm going to bed or I'd test myself. [emoji17]

Is it possible for GS6 international roms to work on Sprint GS6?

Like if I take the modem of the Sprint GS6 and the Kernel and add them to the rom of the international version, would it work?
I'm very sorry for the nooby question, I'm just trying to learn a few things.

No. At best, if you flash a S6 Sprint kernel, it will work, but with no data.

It is possible, you need to use like Uninkernel and replace some files from a International R0M with ones from a Sprint ROM.

I don't think anyone has successfully used any of the international Roms. one of the devs told me it had to do with how much more different the source code is on the Sprint model.

I used to do it when I had my Sprint LG G3, it worked really well its just a matter of finding a model with similar Wifi Chips, Bluetooth Chips, etc
I may work on it actually, if anyone wants to help message me

When I messed with international ROMs on my S5, I kept having issues with Phone force closing and everything data/phone related force closing. I never followed the logcat but I think I gave up because it required fixing a lot of smali code in the framework.jar which.. screw that. Lol. I think it is possible, just way too much work to make it function fully.

I got this ROM booting, just flash it and THIS KERNEL. So far, cellular and 5GHz WiFi don't work, I will be working on a patch though. It will be a all in one patch, with Kernel, WiFi and cellular then you guys can test...

I mean I've gotten some roms to work, only problem is getting the data to work.
Or lets say if I try porting a VZW rom, what would I have to do to get data or is it not possible?

That's what I've been trying to figure out... Data seems to be the hardest thing to patch. Does anyone know if there is a modem.img?

The dev was Xileforce, but it was him telling me that he heard the source was different. I haven't browsed around much, but if there is a dev porting international to sprint on the Note 5 or Edge Plus, they might know where such files exist. Also, the devs from the international forum that have attempted to port might have insight also.

Could we make a modem.IMG? Or do you guys know where the modem.bin goes?

If I had the device I'd help. I really would like bluetooth tethering but sprint disabled it in the bluetooth lib file(native code) only way to get it working is with CM or intl rom.

I dont think it is modem related. its lib and framework related. As said by the other guy, there is A LOT of source code changes that we don't have access to. It will boot, as you have seen, but the data doesn't work due to how the native code interacts with the hardware on the device. It tries calling methods that do not exist or are named differently. Intl ROMs mainly use GSM. Which is one of the reasons its so tedious. When I had T-Mobile, a simple change in the APN would make intl ROMs work.

Everything works but DATA, that seems to be the main issue with upcoming ROMs...

CMTE on AOSP

Hi, as we have noticed that CMTE has found it's way to non CM base ROMs I am wondering what's the procedure of porting CMTE on ROMs ??!! Any help will be appreciated.

Have you ever compiled a ROM before? Do you know how to code?

Yes I have compiled ROMs before and I do know coding not at a very expert level but I have enough knowledge to work it out once I find the procedure

Well the procedure is much like porting anything else.
Go through the gerrit and choose all the commits related to themes..
Also add the theme engine repos..
