I hope someone here is going to help you, as our Xperia Ion is turning into a crappy old device with nobody interested in creating a new development thread for it :')

if you have not done any work b4 a good place to start would be themeing,
_calum_ has a nice guide in the x10 forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834806
this would be a good place to start. if you can do this sort of stuff already then a good place to start is android general.

I didn't no, but then again I'm not looking to port a kernel, so try asking your question in the section that's there to help, or read the material that's freely available using google (like I just did to see what's available) to help with your quest.

I cant find any tutorial on how to potr kernels. So Im asking it in a thread.
Sorry if I posted in wrong place, but no subforum for the Pro.
Hi! Developing kernels is way to different than just porting ROMs. Also you don't port kernels you develop them from scratch. There's no way to port a kernel into another device.
Here's a very2 basic tutorial on building kernel for Xperia but you still won't understand it without proper knowledge.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
Here's the source code.
http://dl-www.sonymobile.com/cws/download/1/105/457/8/1339505718/4_1_B_0_431_tar.bz2
Take note that source code doesn't contain any modifications compiling that right away would just leave you a replica of stock kernel without overclocking, volting, tweaks etc.
Kernel development is a critical part of android customization and anyone is not recommended to play with it even for average developers. It could harm your device to the point that it would burn out or explode.

My point was to try asking in the section dedicated to Android development, as you'll probably get better help or pointers than you will by posting it here, and if you've not found anything at all in regards to kernel building/porting then you're obviously not using google correctly.

WoW Riyal, who is this guy I see you everwhere, are you the BEST android developper???
Can u PLZZZ make Arc knight kernel for Xperia Pro ??? I have some money to donate if u want, or help me do and answering questions / problems im facing.
PLz reply thanks!
I'm not the best android developer in fact I am not an android developer.
I am a server administrator and a programmer and it's just I am also a linux kernel developer.
It just so happens that I am the only and sole android kernel developer which is this active for Xperia Pro. If you don't trust me feel free to approach any other developers like FXP and cross fingers that he would reply to you.
I'll try to look for any arc night sources if I found one I'll guide you if not then try ask the creator of arcnight for it's sources then I'll help you.
Ok here's a quick tutorial. I am not good at teaching things so I hope you understand that. I would also assume you have at least basic knowledge with linux and compiling stuff. If not then learn it first before proceeding.
1st.
You must have a linux machine. No windows only linux.
2nd.
download arcnight kernel sources here.
https://github.com/Jimbo77/Arc-Night-Kernel--4.1.C.0.7-/zipball/master
3rd.
go to kernel/arch/arm/configs/
You should be able to see lot's of config files there just pick these 2.
ArcKnight_defconfig
semc_iyokan_defconfig
4th.
Now compare both files make sure that everything in semc_iyokan_defconfig should be also in ArcKnight_defconfig
Ex. if a config in arcKnight says
# CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN is not set
while config in semc_iyokan_defconfig says
CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN=y
Then change arcknight's config and match it with iyokan's
5th.
Download eabi here.
https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/[email protected]=lite
6th
follow everything in here.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
7th.
in the line
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig

on sony's dev page change it instead to
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make ArcKnight_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done.
Note that I am not responsible if you brick your device. You are using a kernel made for Arc/Arc S and also I am not the developer of that kernel to assure you that it doesn't have any changes which would affect any specific device in any way.
I started and understand the setup etc. but not part 6, when I run terminal and type ''cd kernel'' it says
bash: cd: kernel: File or map doesnt exist

AND Ive downloaded eabi. Its a .bin file [is that ok?] and I cant open it! How can I open it??

Great advise. But his question would interest me too.... I didn't found any information if the Xperia M is supported by cyanogenmod. So please... enlighten us.
Guys I dont think Nicki will have official CM support. So someone will have to make an unofficial port of CM to our device. And currently we run one of the latest versions of Android. So lets just wait till the CM11 sources are completely pushed in, the probably someone will start working on it.

MIUI

guys now we can port miui rom to our phone !! comparing both the phones xiaomi redmi 1s and xperia t2 ultra .
both the phone r having same hardwares and only changes we need to do is in camera and few things thats it .

There are no devs for this device

are you sure about that??

[Kernel] Sensei Kernel for Find 7

These are untested by me as they failed to flash on Omni/DU (LVM) - If anybody else wants to report back, that would be great. These have not exactly been advertised so please don't complain to the developer or to myself.

sensei R74.1
I have no other information besides what is available from this thread

Negative. I'm just a bearer off gifts
If you would like fixes I can try to help out and maintain a variant for this. Let me know please!

I need someone who knows if these devices use the same base and everything to chat me on hangouts [email protected]
EDIT: I am still waiting if someone is able to assist.
How knowledgeable would the person have to be?
I can't believe people aren't jumping at the chance to help. We don't have a dedicated kernel dev at all for find7/s/a
It's not that I don't want to help, but I don't think I know enough to help.
But, I think I read it somewhere that the CM11 for Find 7 does used a kernel based on the Oneplus One CM11 kernel.
I hope @Entropy512 or maybe @maxwen can help
I know @ayysir used Franco for a short bit on PA. Outside of there you may have better luck on Oppoforums.
Can anybody help me? I cant flash this zip!
Everyone I am sorry, I wasn;t being notified of any updates on this thread, I now officially support Find 7/7a, but they are blind builds for the time being.
