OK guys, Im not a linux-n00b, but am an android n00b. I flashed the cyanogenmod ROM onto my nexus 7 2013, built some kernel modules for it, but insmod'ing it says that function isnt implemented. lsmod says /proc/modules is non-existent. What gives? I thought these custom ROMs came with kernel module support. I downloaded the CM kernel source and their default config has a bunch of features and modules that I don't have after flashing the ROM onto my tablet.
Do I need to re-build the kernel to get all these features? Or did I miss a step and forget to flash on the rest of the stuff.... Thanks...

What are you trying to add?
And yes you are going to have to rebuild the kernel with the modules you want to add/implement.
Depending on what you are trying to add, my bet is that there is already a kernel out there that has what you are looking for. Start looking at other kernels. I would definitely look into the ElementalX kernel.

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.

Check the thread over in original development if you haven't already, p605 for jellybean just added
Since joshuabg posted his build of AICP, countless other people decided they would continue his mission of bringing AOSP-based custom roms to this wonderful device
however in doing this people started stealing the AICP thread to talk about compile problems(i know im the biggest offender) so im fixing that.
Post all ROM development talk below so we can attempt to help each other and get the rom problems out of the way and finally get development for this amazing, game-changing, sexy slice android off the ground
Hey guys, if anyone is looking for how to build a rom for the nexus 9(and theyre forced to use a prebuilt kernel) i wrote up a tutorial on how to do that at the top of page 5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...evelopment-thread-t2995510/page5#post58089268
Based on my convo with Josh, he indicated that disabling SELinux in the prebuilt kernel (with help from USBHost) would assist in allowing the build to boot. However, I honestly do not want to disable SELinux AT ALL. I will find a way to make this work without disabling SELinux.
The issues I had with getting the AICP to boot without a Setup Wizard has stopped loop was 100% to blame on SELinux. ROM was disabled kernel was enforcing, and they didn't want to play nicely together. As soon as I used a kernel with SELinux disabled, it booted right up no problems. Should someone maybe ask flar2 with a mention in here to get his two cents?

i dont think thats right...i could be doing something wrong, but im fairly certain that when i compiled by build i set both the ROM and Kernel to SElinux disabled(or at least enforcing) and the kernel wouldnt even try to boot...
however, i do have to say that im not 100% certain how to disable SElinux in the ROM so i did what i thought would work, so maybe thats why mine doesnt boot...once i figure out compiling this kernel and either praise you or stand by my point
also i havent heard anything of flar2 since november 24th so idk what happened there

You could very well be right. All I was speaking from was my experience of every kernel I tried using that didn't have SELinux disabled, the build wouldn't boot.

what do you mean by not boot? like exacty? because for me, a kernel not booting means stuck at the google splash screen
The ROM does not control selinux
Only the kernel controls it
Well guys, i finally got CM to build without breaking a few days ago but the kernel didnt work so i did a bunch of testing a research and i think ive concluded that theres something wrong with the build process that breaks the kernels, once i figure out what, we'll have the reliable build system that doesnt rely on prebuilt kernels
on a side note i figured out how to build AOSP with prebuilt kernels
SO we finally have a CM build that can stand on its own and run well(shockingly well, i havent found any problems) and it doesnt rely on USBhost's feature-rich kernel or his prebuilt one that no-one really understands...lol no offense intended usbhost, FIK is pretty damn good
@SwoRNLeaDejZ : selinux is currently disabled so im going to see what happens when i renable it @USBhost : is SElinux disabled the same thing as permisive? im guessing no and which one would be the best to set for a custom rom. im guessing permissive?

I built a stock kernel that's so awesome that no one can comprehend or understand it
Haha aren't I awesome lol
About selinux if its disabled
It means it was not compiled with the kernel
so you can't simply enable it
I would recommend permissive on the kernel command line
So it would be easier to debug what is preventing stock kernel from not booting
Because you can see what would have selinux prevented from running
on /proc/kmsg or /dev/kmsg

Just throwing this out there, but if anyone comes up with any type of test builds, or test kernels, that they need someone to flash and try out, let me know. Always more than willing to give some experimental builds a test drive.

Yeah I know, which is why I'm going to *hackily implement it*(until Steve finishes his implementation) or cherry pick his attempt and see if I can get it too work
I just got off work(I hate training!!!) And I'll see what I can do about it
I will not deny that anything the CM team will cook up, will be miles better than what I can make but I'm just trying to make it build for a single device, not all of the devices it a super efficient manner
Actually I think I might start some unnoficial nightlies for CM if people want, once I finish my build script then I shouldnt have very much difficulty making it each night

lol bold offer, you're so brave, unlucky for you though, this is a nexus device so if know it boots then we pretty much know everything works so the beta testing isnt as necessary as say on a samsung/htc/lg device,

Love the unofficial nightlies idea
Hey guys i have a little question. How can i switch to selinux permissive mode? I ask because of the xposed framework. Selinuxchanger app works but is too slow for xposed. Xposed recognizes the enforcing mode... Init.d doesnt work too.My device is lgg3 and i run the actual darkobas build with Johns 777 kernel. Is there another way? Which files i have to change?
Thanks!
[ROM][6.0.1] ☼ 63% Stock ☼ ╟DeoDexed╫Rooted╫DeBloated╢ ► PD1 ◄ 7/15/16
63% Stockish RomCustom Rom for Marshmallow 6.0.1 G925TTMB3EPD1T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge★Now Includes Custom Kernel★
Introduction
This is a stock rom created from the newly released MM firmware for the SM-G925T. I've made the rom using SuperR.'s kitchen. After I upgraded my phone to marshmallow I was excited to get a custom rom up and running.
Unfortunately there weren't many available that would retain wifi calling, so I decided to make one myself. This is the product of many headaches and long nights... hope you like it!
Announcement
Version 3 has just been released! I have fixed the screenshot crashing error as well as added a reboot to recovery option and disabled the unsafe volume warning. I figured these mods would be OK to add without going beyond the stock look and feel. I found these to be two features that I couldn't live without on any rom. At this point I am going to mark the rom as Stable since I believe I have fixed almost all the issues that were present. If anyone finds anything that needs to be fixed or changed, please let me know so I can start compiling a list for version 4.
Changelog
Version 3
* Fixed screenshot crashing issue
* Added Reboot Recovery option in the power menu
* Removed unsafe volume warning
Version 2
* Custom kernel set to permissive mode Source Code
* Removal of SecurityLogAgent under system/app
Version 1
* Initial Release
Features
*Rooted
*BusyBox
*Debloated
*ZipAligned
*Deodexed - oat2dex
*Init.d Support Added
*T-Mobile WiFi Calling
*Custom Stock Kernel - Permissive
* List of Debloated Apps *

Installation
Download the stock rom from Here. After downloading, flash this using ODIN.
Install the custom recovery TWRP (or whichever you prefer) found Here.
Boot into TWRP, perform a factory reset, then install the rom.
All done!
Known Issues
It seems the kernel I made is not creating an adbkey on the device. This will cause issues when using problems that require this such as DroidExplorer, PDANet, etc... I am currently looking into this and will release a version 2 of the kernel and include it in the rom. For now I would suggest using The Sickness's kernel for the S6 Edge found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/orig-development/kernels-twisted-kernel-6-0-1-mm-5-11-16-t3377283.

It looks like I removed Video Calling but I have added it back. I am also working on setting the kernel to permissive. I will upload the new rom after I've made these changes.
Well I'm having some issues with setting the stock kernel to permissive mode. I may just wait until @arter97 updates his kernel to support W8/T roms and include that instead of the stock kernel until I can learn more about how to edit/build a kernel. I am going to re-upload the the rom with Video Calling fixed and a few other apps left in with the selinux still set to enforcing. I don't think this will be such a bad thing though since the only app I really see that requires permissive is Viper4Audio. From what I've read, I think xposed should still work with enforcing.

It seems like it may be something with SuperR's kitchen that's breaking wifi calling. I'm going to see if anyone else is having issues with this and if there's a fix. In the mean time, I am going to try and recreate the rom using a different kitchen.

I have been racking my brain for the past few days trying to figure out whats causing this. I believe like that article is saying that its a permissions issue. I've tried redoing the rom numerous times with different settings but nothing seems to fix the issue. The closest I got was changing the permissions from metadata to sparse_dat. The problem with this was I could not get wifi to enable after using sparse_dat. I have tried odexed and deodexed with a completely stock system and a trimmed system but nothing seems to resolve the issue. I'm thinking this may be something that needs to be corrected with the kernel since that's the only thing that's not changed through my testing. I have tried replacing @The Sickness's kernel in his base rom for the S6 with the stock kernel from the S6 Edge and it does the same thing. The only doubts I'm having about that theory is that I tried using Arter97's kernel and it seems that Wifi calling is not working with that either which would support the theory that it is a permissions issue. The only problem with this is that I don't know what permission would need to be changed or even how to find this as I am still an android OS noob. I'm going to continue doing research to see what I can come up with :fingers-crossed:

I have been racking my brain for the past few days trying to figure out whats causing this. I believe like that article is saying that its a permissions issue. I've tried redoing the rom numerous times with different settings but nothing seems to fix the issue. The closest I got was changing the permissions from metadata to sparse_dat. The problem with this was I could not get wifi to enable after using sparse_dat. I have tried odexed and deodexed with a completely stock system and a trimmed system but nothing seems to resolve the issue. I'm thinking this may be something that needs to be corrected with the kernel since that's the only thing that's not changed through my testing. I have tried replacing @The Sickness's kernel in his base rom for the S6 with the stock kernel from the S6 Edge and it does the same thing. The only doubts I'm having about that theory is that I tried using Arter97's kernel and it seems that Wifi calling is not working with that either which would support the theory that it is a permissions issue. The only problem with this is that I don't know what permission would need to be changed or even how to find this as I am still an android OS noob. I'm going to continue doing research to see what I can come up with :fingers-crossed:

Take the updater-script from my rom......do the permissions just like I have them in your script.

I've tried that, no luck I also tried using your exact updater-script minus the sickness folder but still had the same results.
Something else I've noticed is that VoLTE is only working using sparse as well.
I am in the process of trying to use raw_img permissions and old school permissions.
I loaded up twisted v1 and couldn't get wifi calling to connect...maybe I didn't wait long enough...I'll try again later

Then your issue is symlinks then.......did you add them to your script from the system.img?

I believe so. I used SuperR's kitchen for the entire process so that's what generated the updater-script. I used the system.img to build the project files.
