T-mobile Prism II released the kernel source
I was wondering if anyone could make a custom kernel i am willing to test it out with my Prism II.
The only thing im interested in having changed on the kernel is that it supports swap! This phone comes with 512mb ram which is low and it would be nice to use swap with this phone.
https://github.com/Prism2/HUAWEI-U8686-Open-Source-U8686-JellyBean-kernel-3.4.0-
That is the link for the source kernel i found with a simple search.
This phone is so close to having a custom rom. Rooted, bootloader unlocked and CWM_recovery has already been made possible on this forum.
Can anyone tell me where i would add the line CONFIG_SWAP=y in that open source kernel the link is above in my post.
Is that all that needs to be done to this kernel to enable swap?

About to flash CM7. Seen some mention of 'kernal' in various threads. What does it do? and do I need to update it?
Cheers.
same question
The Kernel controls things like battery drain and CPU levels for overclocking etc... its not a must do but recommended for best performance. there is probably not a "best" one but more like the best that suits you. If you are running CM7 i would recomend Vork Kernel's or ManU kernels
Richardtrip's kernels are also very good: overcklocking, manual voltage level, Two-way call recording.

Have you used the call recording? If so how do you "activate" it or listen to the calls afterwards?

Yes call recording is working fine.

Since I'm new to Desire and HTC- what is the difference between Sense and AOSP kernels?
(before you ask- I know what AOSP is)
Do Sense firmwares require some extra drivers/modules/settings in kernel?

Hi there!
Sense is HTC proprietary software built over the top of Android. This code is not open source and is what HTC use to set themselves apart from other manufacturers like Samsung etc. Sense is what they sell as their user experience.
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project. Since Android is an open source operating system, Google publish all the code and necessary tools to develop Android. Companies like HTC get the code and then write Sense over the top. Devs in this community like Cyanogen take the AOSP code and build their ROMS from scratch.
When you see ROMS that are for Sense 2.1 on Gingerbread for example this means that someone has been able to port software running on other phone models like the Desire HD or Incredible etc to your phone model (Desire)
As for the kernels you will need to make sure that the kernel you run is supported on the device and that's about it. The Kernel has to have some key components or the phone won't work so the ROM you use just uses them.
Having said that, ROM developers usually optimise around one or two particular Kernels. They are usually included in the ROM or the Dev will tell you which one they recommend for certain purposes.
You do have to have apps in the system that can access settings if customising the performance beyond what the dev has already done is what you want to do.
Thanks for the answer but it's not exactly what I'd like to know
Thing is- what makes Sense kernel incompatible with AOSP firmware (and vice versa)
Sorry for not answering what you were looking for. I'll try again.
The Kernels for Sense would have specific code that enables features in the phone that HTC build. LED control, light sensor etc. I assume Sense is quite strict about what it will work on and what it won't.
The AOSP Kernels are built without knowing the exact hardware maps of the internal components and as such won't work with Sense because they simply don't know how due to HTC keeping a lid on all source work for Sense and the handset itself.
The best developers can figure most of it out (certainly I am not a dev, just a geek ) and teams like CyanogenMod have it mostly discovered and configurable.
Is that more helpful?
Isn't Sense a HTC's android framework "mod"? I mean does it "just" provide more/different functionality than AOSP?
AFAIK all kernels must be built knowing exact hardware map, otherwise some devices will not work or kernel will not boot. The only autodetect I'm aware of is display panel type and filesystems (I did mess with kernels @samdroid.net)
i have a question about kernels an such from what i understand is you don't need to update the kernel but its a good idea too do so. couple questions i have.
1. how do you know what kernel you have installed currently.
2. How do you flash or get a new one installed if you need or want it.
3. scene i am using core droid 6.3 gb2.3.3 what kernel would be the most compatible or effective?
I have had my inspire phone for 3 months an finally rooted it 3weeks ago sence then i have used the rom manager too play with different roms an make backups of the 2 i have found i like the most. After reading i have seen it stated too get the most out of these roms though you should install a different kernel.
To know your currently version, you have to go in parametres and then logiciel version and look at build. Sorry for my bad English.

I don't want open a new thread, so I will ask here.
Now I have

on stock pre rooted 2.2 Froyo.
I want put this ROM. Can I put this ROM with my kernel and radio or I musst put latest kernel and radio?

You will find that many roms contain a kernel in the zip file, so it will often change when you flash a rom. If not, the developer may recommend one.
Radio is independent of rom flash, and unless you start getting connectivity problems there is normally no need to change it. Again, some developers will recommend a radio (and maybe a RIL if they know a particular combination works well with their rom.
I wanted to ask if we can already enjoy Voodoo kernel on our Captivate Glide. I have read that Inception mod implements it "partially", although I cannot post there yet to ask what's meant by "partialy"... I just don't want to spam to reach 10 posts threshold.
Does Osimood implement the Voodoo kernel (partially, or all?)
Hope you can tell me
Cheers
Tony
AFAIK osimood uses the latest dman's kernel. so it has the same kernel functions as inception ROM.
Yup, I am suspecting that too. Maybe dman or CarpeNoctem can chime in at some point, and tell us which features of Voodoo are currently enabled. I take Voodoo improvements are already enabled by default when playing music with my app of choice... Right? Or should I install a separate apk? (like Voodoo sounds plus, from the market)
Cheers
Tony
Is it possible to get dman's kernel separate from either rom?
I would like that too. So people who'd like to keep close to the stock esthetics, could still enjoy dman's wonderful kernel without having to work on Inc3ption rom to undo some of his work.
i already asked that in the inception thread and dman said that you can use the kernel without the dependency of any rom.
Awesome. Where can the link to the kernel be found?
And if there's no link, is it possible to pull the kernel from one if the roms?
So any news as to separately impement the kernel? What further development is there to make?
I'm looking for or wondering if High on Android is planning on releasing their kernel for t999uvlj4. I would've posted on the dev thread, but I don't have the proper privileges yet. I was just got so used to the little simple features that it offered for so long that I forgot it was a custom kernel and made the mistake of updating to the latest ota.
Or any other stock kernel that at least supports custom boot animations.
I don't think that kernel has been updated in ages. AFAIK all kernels support custom boot animations you just have to change it yourself.
Sent from my SGH-T999
On the SGS3 the .qmg format is used for boot animation, AFIK nobody has found a way to encode a file into .qmg, so the only way we are able to have our custom boot animation is to install a custom kernel.. High on Android has been releasing updates on the kernel for the different versions of baseband that have been released for the T999, well, at least UVALEM and UVALH2. I'm hoping that there was no kernel change in this latest OTA and I can just reinstall the High on Android UVALH2 kernel, but I don't want to find out the hard way.
I just noticed my last post put me over the top so I can post in the dev section now. I asked my question on the High on Android kernel thread, so I should get the answer I'm looking for from the dev himself.
Alright I need help compiling a new kernel for my new ROM called
Ginger OS v2.3.7 CM7 for the galaxy s4
Can I use a stock boot.IMG on it or do I have to build one t make it support gingerbread, sdk 10 v2.3.7
If yes disregard this or let me know
If you can help I need you to make a kernel for me I don't mind if you add your name to the kernel but you'll be credited for the development of my new ROM?
There's nobody here. -- Crickets chirping in the distance -- Tumbleweeds blowing by --
It'll probably be easier to get yourself a Samsung Captivate and throw the S4 away. (Or donate it.)
Pp.
I got the kernel source for the SM-J100VPP, and am planning to recompile the kernel with unlocking support, any ideas? If I can get a bootloader unlock on this device, anyone interested in a custom rom? (I'm new to XDA, if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move.)
I'm game for a custom ROM. Good luck, it will be amazing if you get this phone unlocked....
