[Q] stock kitkat kernel with selinux permissive?

looking for a kitkat kernel that is all stock but with selinux toggled to permissive. my only objective is to run linux on top of android. anyone who has a guide to getting this compiled would get his thank meter filled:good:
edit: kind @xluco has built a kernel just for us:

I am looking for this too. You can download the kernel source from samsung. I wonder whether, if you build without reconfiguring, you end up with the stock kernel. I would try doing this and only changing selinux mode if I thought there was a reasonable chance it would work. Did you try this kernel ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725193
I have not yet. But I have zero interest in performance tweaks that might reduce stability.

i'm currently using it and helping the dev wherever i can. selinux is disabled on that kernel, so i'm running linux deploy just fine.
i'm not sure about compiling the kernel from source because i don't have a linux box and i'm scared of something going wrong if i flash or configure it wrongly BUT if even anyone can show me the guide to doing this i would be very grateful

I was trying to edit my last post because I saw that you have tried that kernel.
I have spent way more time compiling kernels over the past 20 years than I care to, which is one reason I haven't tried this task yet. I flashed the pre-kitkat selinux permissive kernel a while back and it simply wouldn't boot. I had saved the stock kernel with online nandroid backup. I reflashed stock kernel and there was no problem. I guess, the same would happen with an any unbootable kernel. I never have built an android kernel though.

Here you go guys, try this.. Stock KitKat kernel with SELinux in permissive mode and Knox removed: d-h.st/uCX
EDIT: slight update with NTFS support / HTCP and Multi-core scheduler support.. all completely stable as they're already in the kernel just not selected
EDIT 2: http://d-h.st/ziH - V3 [19/05/2014] (fixes a small derp in ramdisk)

samsungs opensource website is so slow, it would literally be about 5 hours of download time to get the source, I can do it but it'd be next week now

Thanks, that would be great, no rush at all, take as much time as needed. There are quite a few users who have asked for this for a long time, but a severe lack of p605 developers has meant it has not yet eventuated. Happy to shout you a beer or two for the option of linux on the p605.

[Q] ASOP/Exynos Question

Hi,
Please can someone explain why Exynos has a bad rep for custom ROMs? Samsung release the kernel and I assume it contains either open source drivers or binary blobs. Either way we have a functional boot.img with a working ~3.4 kernel, that kernel should presumably boot any sensible 4.4+ system.img right?
I'm asking because I'm considering building a clean ASOP ROM for the Tab S just to get rid of the crazy amount of bloat. This is obviously trivial with the Nexus device line, but I'm just trying to understand why it's complex in this case? Can we not just use the stock kernel/drivers with any arbitrary userspace e.g ASOP git or CM? Does the SoC really matter to us for non-kernel projects? Or are all the problems purely in the custom kernel world?
Also, is there anything actually important in Samsung's userspace that i'm missing? It's really just the UI and little extra features for the camera and things right? I can't help but feel the speed gain from an ASOP built would be incredible, all the hardware should work just fine given a working stock kernel?
Thanks!

@eousphoros is working on porting CM right now. Why don't you PM him and see if you can put your heads together on it?

The big problem I ran into is with gralloc/hwcomposer. The hwcomposer that ships with the device is 1.3 whereas the opensource is currently only 1.1. While the initial thought of just copying gralloc.exynos5.so hwcomposer.exynos5.so as propertietary blobs seems like it a good one, they are unfortunately linked to a ton of libraries in /system/lib that makes bringing them over troublesome at best. Though that being said that is the hack I used to get my one and only bootable rom up and running.
Going further the issue with the exynoshwc 1.1 that I have been fighting with is after opening up /dev/graphics/fb0 it trys to send it an ioctl that I assume is the S3C_WIN_CONFIG pointer and gets an ENOTTY back from the device. If you are interested in helping out please checkout the cyanogenmod porting thread in general where I have linked my local_manifests.xml with my git repo's and a blog of my progress.
Cheers.
EDIT: Has anyone ever requested source from samsung? What seems to be the most succesfull method?

[Q] SELinux custom kernel for SM-T900 (pro 12.2)

Hi,
I've successfully rooted my UK galaxy tab pro 12.2 SM-T900 (using a P900 img as the T900 one bricked it), I'd like to try running linux via chroot but I think I need a custom kernel to set SELinux to permissive.
Since there don't seem to be any in existence I think I need to build one from source as described here (I can't post links):
graemehill.ca/compiling-permissive-android-kernel/
The build # on my device is T900XXUANI1
however on the Samsung open source site this particular version is not listed.
opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T900
I'm not sure if they're supposed to be the same thing - Should these versions match? Will I break something if I download the source for T900XXUANB5 and compile that or is that the right version to download?
Thanks

You can use bonuzzz's Custom PRO-VTFB. But if you really want to create your own, you can use the B5 kernel. However, that kernel has been followed by two firmware upgrades.

Thanks, so there's no problem using the p900 kernel on the t900? It's not something I've ever done before and I don't really know how much difference there is between various kernels

You might loose the automatic screen rotation, but that's the only difference. I use it as an alternative to cm-11, together with bonuzzz's Custom ROM 1.01 the most debloated TW ROM available. There is also a cm-11 kernel with enabled VT, but same thing here you will most likely loose the auto rotation.

If anyone is interested, i sent a request to samsung via their open source website on the day I posted this thread, asking for the XXUANI1 source. Got an email back today to say it's now available on the website. I haven't tried doing anything with it yet though!

Always try to build kernel with source. I think you can't, but you can try.

Please edit the link in OP, its me who miswrote it... : /android_device_xioami_mocha --> /android_device_xiaomi_mocha

You need to fix up SELinux and the init scripts. Taking a shield tablet device tree, renaming things to mocha and changing the fstab isn't enough. As far as I can tell the shieldtablet device tree also has dependency on a shield common tree. There's also no value in creating a new thread each time you push new commits
Our kernel from Xiaomi is also pretty useless without commit history. The device tree is also from shield tablet, not Nexus 9.
We also have a tree for building TWRP with OmniROM that you can compile TWRP 3.0.2.0 with.

What kernel repo is upstream one for tegra android? Like CAF for quallcom.
I've tried to merge xiaomi changes on l4t kernel https://github.com/HighwayStar/android_kernel_xiaomi_mocha
Merged dts files and arch/boot/march-tegra with some required drivers, but still cant boot it. Found somewhere here that l4t kernels is not for android, but for GNU/Linux, but what kernel is for android?
Cyanogenmod's shield kernel?

Untested, been doing device bring up. That kernel won't work yet anyway it's missing atmel, synaptic and battery firmware. (Plus the code that goes with it)
Some devs have one that gets to recovery but only 1 CPU core can come online and the CPU gets a bit hot. Unfortunately their commit history is hard to follow so I've not had a proper look at it yet

My my...it's been a while since I've seen a cringe-worthy dev thread on XDA. So OP just used the device tree from Nexus 9 (a 64-bit device with a different processor and nothing in common with the Mi Pad other than the fact that they use Nvidia SoCs and are both tablets), unmodified KITKAT kernel sources from Xiaomi (which takes work to make it boot, even on KK) and KITKAT userspace blobs to compile the ROM, and for some reason decided to share it without testing. The 10-post rule is meant to keep such people out of the development sub-forums, but obviously that's not working.
I do not understand why the moderators are allowing this thread to remain open. It's just a thread by a wannabe dev offering a non-bootable ROM that has the potential to brick the devices of many newbies who may decide to try this.
This thread is even more useless than the other "DEVS-ONLY" thread someone else made. Honestly, the entire Mi Pad forum is filled with people who either expect Android 7.1.1 to magically appear on their tabs just because Xiaomi released outdated kernel sources or just wanna create threads like this for the "thanks or whatever". The never ask for ETA rule seems to just float over their heads.
Now to some useful information. I believe, even if we patch the kernel enough for it to theoretically boot cm13, it probably won't, considering the outdated userspace blobs for the Mi Pad. Unless someone has the knowledge to take their tab apart and figure out how to get UART data, it will be virtually impossible for the mi pad kernel to boot any new version of Android. I heard another interesting approach taken by some russian devs at the Xiaomi forums. They've managed to port the kernel from the Nvidia shield (and apparently it's booting). Now this would mean we can use the userspace blobs from the Shield to at least get the ROM booting (most peripherals won't work, but that's step 2). I do not know whether they use GitHub or if they've even open-sourced their work, but now we know that it's possible, so that could be a possible method of approach.
EDIT: LOL. I just read the OP again. The "dev" expects donations to help him work harder. This from a person who posted his way into somehow compiling his first Android build without even having the damn device.

I agree, this device has no development threads. Only 2 give me thanks and here's my donation link threads.
They have indeed used GitHub, but I don't believe they want to share the repo just yet so I won't post it publicly. It has many problems to sort and also sadly, they didn't keep the commit history from Nvidia as it was initialised via zip DL. It does boot to recovery though.

Oh! I didn't realize we were talking about the same person/team. I'd love to start developing for this device. In fact, I'm working on KEXEC-hardboot and Multirom right now, but I'd like to follow what you guys are doing and contribute as much as I can. Is there an IRC channel/IM app you guys use for communication? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could PM the info.

[REFERENCE] Umbrella Kernel

WARNING:
This is not a post targeted to end users. It is a development reference. If you expect any installable download or even added features out of this thread, please close your browser. Thank you.
What is Umbrella?
Umbrella is a project that aims to make the kernel sources that HMD released for Nokia 8 Sirocco (A1N) compatible with the Nokia 8 (NB1). The idea behind this is to replace the outdated 8.0 kernel sources that HMD released for NB1 with more up to date ones that are used in the 9.0 builds for Nokia 8 Sirocco.
Why do this, you might ask. Well, the answer is simple: The devices are so similar that HMD / FIH already have their kernel sources in a shared source tree. You can validate that yourself, by downloading the kernel config from a stock NB1 kernel (under /proc/config.gz), unpacking it, and searching for the commended entry "CONFIG_FIH_A1N". What umbrella does is take the sources that were released for A1N, readd all device specific files for NB1 (they were pruned) from it's original kernel soure, and integrate the stock kernel config (also called defconf) from NB1.
Doing this also lead to some other small quality of life improvements that are not directly relevant to an end user.
Umbrella contains the latest changes from linux-stable (v4.4.179 at the time of writing, compared to the stock v4.4.153), and Qualcomms Codeaurora upstream
The WiFi driver from Qualcomm is compiled directly into the kernel, instead of being loaded as a module. This allows you to flash umbrella based kernels to every build version while keeping everything else working correctly. The stock kernels use signature enforcement, which means that the wifi module that is loaded from the system partition has to be signed against the kernel, which is not the case for every custom kernel or even the kernels that were built for a different security patch.
Unlike the officially released kernel sources, umbrella does not have stupid typos in it's device trees that cause the phone to display white bars on all of your screen etc.
Umbrella disables the block that FIH put in place to prevent users from rebooting into EDL mode from within android (using adb reboot edl).
Umbrella also includes a patch that causes the device to not reset it's entire memory when the kernel crashes, therefore retaining the last kernel output log, which can be used for debugging
You can compile the kernel with compilers newer than GCC 4.9 (not clang though), without having it immideately crash at boot.
It includes a tool that automatically sets up a crosscompiling environment for the kernel.
What Umbrella is not
Umbrella is not a project to add significant new features, or the ability to tweak things beyond what the stock kernel already offers (which is technically not that bad). It aims to be a reference kernel, a base for (potentially) other kernels that are based on it and add those features. I know that that is kind of a broad goal, considering I am the only one who seems to do actual development for this phone, but who knows. Having a lower entry level might help in case someone is curious and wants to get into kernel hacking. And I would certainly be happy if I wasn't the only one developing for this device.
If you want Umbrella to contain features like:
Overclocking
More governors / schedulers / whatever
Color / Sound / whatever control
Wakelock blocking
etc. etc. etc.
then please Alt-F4 your browser right now. Ok, don't do that but at least please don't request it because it will make you get ignored, nothing else.
Why the name Umbrella?
While I developed the initial prototype I watched through 3 Resident Evil movies, and this is kinda a zombie project, so I think the name fits quite well.
Why are you posting this?
I am posting this because I am hoping that it will be useful for anyone that would like to get into kernel development and tweaking without the hassle that comes with setting up the kernel sources that are released by HMD.
But, one disclaimer: I am not a kernel developer. I am a curious CS student suffering from a bad mix of too much time and stupid ideas that solve stupid problems. I am trying my best to produce something useful and be of help, but please don't expect wonders from me, thanks.

Nice. this will likely be useful in the future

Updated the umbrella source to the latest 4.4.180 kernel, and May 07 CAF tag (LA.UM.7.4.r1-05100-8x98.0). Also readded some NB1 specific code where it was missing (discovered by doing a diff against the 5140 kernel source that Nokia recently released).
Just in case anyone actually cares about it

As I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/official-source-code-releases-nokia-8-t3930324, they are identical. The only difference are the device tree files (which still contain typos that break the display), and of course all modifications I made to the sirocco kernel source that Umbrella is based on (wifi driver, EDL mode reactivation, upstreaming, etc.)

hey, did you wipe userdata before flashing this? I think you need to do that, like when switching to using GSIs.
also, have you checked this https://github.com/resident-nokia/twrp? Specifically the fstab file for NB1.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have flashed GSIs before but never had any problems. Also I cannot find any userdata partition in TWRP. I asked in the Lineage OS discord and I was told that probably that TWRP image is broken. I am confused

that's the data partition, if I'm not mistaken ?*
which twrp image are you using? Maybe try Dorian's latest?

Yes I am using the latest TWRP. Before flashing I erased the data partition but still the error persisted
