[Q] KLP update

Hi, this is a question but because it isn't about the phone in the current form i thought it was better to put it here.
Rumours say the One X will not go past 4.2, but is it likely developers would be able to put it on? I know much older phones are able to get 4.1, 4.2 which only went up to 2 with manufacturers.
One X doesn't have S-OFF yet. And id expect you may need a later HBOOT for KLP? If it isn't released on the One X you wouldn't get that HBOOT. But for a developer to develop a later HBOOT it would need S-OFF right? If not then it is likely it will get i assume

It is 99% certain that devs will bring Android KLP for us.
It is possible to run JB4.2 on ICS hboot so I'd assume it's possible to run KLP on JB hboot as well.

Cheers for the reply Sounds like good news. Hope we get a sense version for KLP too.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the AOSP/CM/PA/AOKP KLP or Sense KLP, but either way, don't expect the One X to die soon take my old phone, the Xperia X8 for example. With limited source and limited devs, it managed to survive from Android 1.6 till Android 4.1.2 that's a device with a single core Qualcomm MSM7227 SoC with only 256 MB of RAM. I doubt the One X will die at 4.2.2, even if we don't receive it OFFICIALLY

i heard that the next update will be 4.3 and will be jellybean again

I meant Sense as i feel personally it has more features than ASOP/AKOP. And 4.3 hmmm. Been 4 for a while now, a 5 would be nice. Or if 4.3 had a few significant features. 4.2 wasn't very significant over 4.1 in all honesty.

I don't want it to die soon! I plan to keep my 11 month old one X for at least an year and a half more. Won't get a new phone before that. And it would kill me not to have the latest and the greatest on my beast.

Really? I'd like to know how, every single 4.2 rom requires JB HBOOT, and I'm stuck with ICS HBOOT (1.12).

Yes. Back in the day when JB sources were unreleased, every aosp-based ROM (even 4.2.x ones) ran kernels based on HTC's ICS kernel source.
---> ICS kernels work fine on ICS hboot
All you have to do is find an old jb4.2 ROM which contains ICS based kernel or kindly ask a ROM dev to build one for you.

But would that work? Could I run a newer JB4.2 rom with an older ICS kernel?

Sure I've done it myself.
For example, you can download cm10.1 alpha 2 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
It's clearly stated that older hboot is supported.

Except they removed it from the hosting site
Thanks for the tip anyway.
Too bad I can't use newer versions and just over-ride the kernel.

I don't know if simply flashing a custom ICS kernel over a ROM would work... Please try.
Also, tbalden is a nice guy, I'm sure he'll reupload the a2 for you or even build it if you just ask politely.
Mattmanwrx is using the old kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149747
Also any 4.1.2 aosp ROM should do the trick for example CM10, IceColdJelly 4.1.2, etc.

Wow, not sure how I didn't know about this. Gonna use this instead of the current (out of date) CM10. Thanks

Complaints with Galaxy Nexus 4.3 Update

el_charlie said:
I don't have that phone anymore, but I need to clarify some things:
- Bluetooth LE could be possible. The hardware is 4.0 but Google recertified as 3.0. One posible reason is that it needs a 3.4 kernel but it's not stable for the GNex.
- OpenGL ES 3.0 is hardware dependant. The PowerVR GPU on the GNex is a bit old.
- The 3.0.72 is not that old. In fact is one of the latest of the 3.0.X branch (if I'm not mistaken, the last one for that branch is 3.0.84). Like I said before, a 3.4 kernel is not stable on the phone. Maybe some dev can port it successfully and then enable Bluetooth LE, who knows.
So, there's nothing to complain. In fact, from what I heard, this update gives performance near 4.1.2 with all the features it always had plus the new ones.
This thread it's almost pointless and must be closed or repurpose it to the bugs found on 4.3 and things that are present that you don't like.
Cheers!

Latest is 3.0.86
It's possible to port BLE to 3.0.x but it isn't easy.. :/

Any idea if TRIM is build in on this version or we still have to root and use other programs?

Actually, 3.0.87 is the latest.
Have complaints? Present them to Google or in this thread, since it's about the same issue... and it was created yesterday.

[Q] Experimental Kernel on Mahdi Rom

Does anyone know what the Experimental kernel does?There are no informations about it in the OP of the Rom...I downloaded it but it appears to be for the Nexus 5...What is the difference between this kernel and the rom-kernel???

Who made the kernel?

After updating to the latest Mahdi rom and backing up what I had, I flashed the experimental kernel and wiped cache/dalvik.
It wouldn't boot, so I had to restore what I had.
No idea what it was supposed to do.

Yeah, if it said it was for the nexus, it wasn't going to work. Kernels should be device specific, and I am very skeptical of those that have been supposedly ported over, rather than compiled from the device's kernel source and then updated with new options.
Experimental in regards to kernel devevelopment means there are probably issues beyond the norm.

The filename is Mahdi-Hammerhead-exp-4.4.2-v1.7-23-03-2014.zip, but I thought that just meant it was somehow derived from the Nexus 5. Don't know why it would be posted in the Mahdi rom OP if it didn't have a chance of working.

To make myself clear.I said that nexus 5 thing, because the file of the kernel says hammerhead..But everything is fine..I use the rom as it is....I want to thank the dev for this amazing rom..A big thank you to all the devs..All of them have put a lot of work to their projects..I just made a question about this kernel.nothing else..Thanks for the reply..

Mahdi has a good reputation for being dependable. Glad you found something you like!

latest kernel version?

I all.
I'm looking for a kernel for my galaxy nexus and i've noticed that most (all?) the latest kernel threads (I'm looking for a currently mantained kernels) are stuck at version 3.0.101 while linux kernel is arrived, today, at 3.19.1.
Now I know that the "android branch" is different than the main one but however I guess there should be newer versions around, like 3.4 or, even better, 3.10.
So, why it's so hard to find a newer version?
Any 3.4/3.10 kernel suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Hahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahhahahahaha... HA!
Funny... GTFO and read why Gnexus never will have 3.10 and MAYBE REALLY MAYBE we will have 3.4 (1% chance to get it)

Sorry emotions was first [emoji14]
Yes 3.0.101 is latest for Gnex, bsmitty will focus his works on 3.4 when he will get Nexus6 (or he got it already, idk)
Its hard to develop 3.4 for Gnex because of missed drivers from Texas Instruments

No 5.1 FOE kernels?

I'm curious about why we haven't seen a 5.1 kernel yet, even a stock kernel that is simply sepermissive (or whatever the function is that allows xposed to work)? Is everyone just waiting for 5.1.1 to drop before worrying about kernels or is it due to the release of the m9?
Thx ?

5.1.0 hasn't been released for the M8 yet, except for GPE.
