Gingerbread Kernel Source Code Available; Homebrew Ports Coming?

Kernel Source for Google Nexus S Released
December 15, 2010 By: ElCondor
Android development for the Google Nexus S has now begun. The kernel source – originally made available upon the official phone release – has already been released by Brian Swetland, an Android kernel developer. This source code can be further investigated and explored by developers. Ultimately, this will lead to achieving development milestones much earlier than usual. One example is to root the phone just a few hours or days after it gets released.

Thank you Brian !
XDA member supercurio created a thread in the Nexus S forums. Make sure to check it out to follow the discussion, or continue directly to the developer kernel site.

yeah.. it's out:

i wonder why it takes to long to get a first build

Probably its just a matter of mili seconds before one pops up Cant wait >.<

Long like more than half a day? Lol.

Don't you need the source for the rest of the OS as well to build a full system?

The source is available now.

Here you can see whats going on with the CyanogenMod devs.

The question will soon become 'do I root and flash a custom Gingerbread rom... or wait to see if HTC release one...'

root anyway the custom roms are far superior

Theres a test build of Gingerbread in the oxygen thread

I'm unable to find it. Could you post a link?

Tempted, even if I just had a rooted stock and remove some of the junk that is in the rom's...

If you're happy with the stock ROM, don't bother. You'll end up flashing ROMs all the time, always trying the newest or different ones - which is fun for sure, but not really necessary and often quite frustrating.

Can't wait to boot 2.3 on my Desire!

It's just a themed version I think.

Device tree ready for marshmallow

Hey guys its devut again informing you that HOX's Device tree is nearlyready!!!
UPDATE: DEVICE TREE IS NOW COMPLETE
Nearly
Yes Nearly because libdgv1 is still taking time
libdgv1
http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=06. Thoughts&proj=04. Android M on Grouper
Here it states that we get a lot of problem because
Code:
dlopen()
is a POSIX COMPLAINT:crying::crying:
So here it is nearly perfect Marshmallow device tree
https://github.com/DevUt/android_device_htc_endeavoru/tree/Marshmallow-begins-part-1

I also have not tested it for new layout
If you are a developer then please check it
[ Do not go for storage_list.xml (as it is deleted , go for fsatb)]

Another issue (damn it)
Proprietary-files.txt has a problem ! Will fix it soon

I think it will take alot of time cause it is verrryyyy confusing

Added issue section in my github repo
1 issue added
you guys also help me by telling me the issues in code

Should i add wiki to my repo to guide other developer?
Or should leave them on their own to figure out how to make libnvos and other thing works ( cause just looking at the tree you wont be able to understand because the patches are also in proprietary files )?

And another great news the device tree wil be ready till Monday!! :laugh: :good: ????????????

Device tree complete now no monday

Critic : Monday ? What! You are so slow DevUt!
DevUt : Sorry , Thats the way im!
DevUt : But for other HOX DEVS
DEVICE TREE IS NOW COMPLETE
NOW NO MONDAY
DEV GET THEIR HANDS ON!

Awesome!I was planning to get an s4 but since the hox will actually get mm I will stick to it.Great work,you are awesome dude

My pleasure dude
I predict you will see mm till mid may cause my net is slow
Thanks for Patience and all your support
But if you wanna try to make a rom from this tree you can (please check the issue section if there are none then please proceed to building if there is even 1 Stop ; I will fix it )

Guys i just found out that we need to have a newer version of twrp to flash marshmallow on our hox. So here's my thought
First i will Fix the device tree ( yes i will be adding some more. Patch files which are on my local pc)
Then as we already have the kernel available for marshmallow.
And then i will build the new twrp and it all in a post

Guys fact of the matter : HOX doesn't runs well on newer roms! And yes thats the bitter truth for every Phone once its old it losses its powet
But why
Here's a logical answer : It is in the way the developer makes the newer roms!
What !
Yes ! Actually the devs just patch some existing files and add some new ones and release it !
And i dont blame the devs for it cause nobody will waste his/her time in writing everything from kernel , Device tree ,proprietary files they sum upto millions and millions of files
Thats causes the problem.
So whats the solution
The solution is nothing! But as a HOX lover i would love to take this whole summer for HOX
So whats your plan
My plan is after releasing marshmallow i would work to write the whole thing scratch (not exactly scratch) but i will make it the most stable rom for HOX
I know im making many promises but believe me i would make them true :highfive:

Thank you for your work, I'm looking forward to marshmallows for HOX.

I'm out of the station for 10 days will come and back to work ASAP

Is this a rom?

The ROM is nearly ready ! Source code has been downloaded tweaks have been made to the device tree ( necessary for ROM ) so you will see the ROM soon . This thread was made to keep updated my fellow friends with my status

Guys bad news my laptop screen has disturbed it is showing vertical lines I will send to soon for repairs and continue until then see my github progress ! You have surprise in both the kernel and my own profile

GPL Source Request

Hi all,
I've created an issue on Motorola's kernel-msm repo that is a request for them to release the kernel sources for the G 5 Plus (Potter).
The post is here - https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/issues/104
Please feel free to reply with similar requests so as to get Motorola moving on a proper GPL source release.
-Rob

:good:

The sources are already out....

Oh really? My bad... Can I just pull from that kernel-msm repo mentioned in the original post? Or is there a different repo just for Potter?

It looks like the source release for NPN25.137-15 is tagged here:
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/MMI-NPN25.137-15/
It's a bit older than the version shipped with my phone but it could work. I'm going to see if I can compile it later.

Why'd you edit your post? I took a look at Alberto's repo and it looks like it would be compatible with our phones.
Seemed like a decent course of action to take. Did you try it yourself? Did it work? Don't just provide no reason, let's get hacking...

Man yes let me mention the guy who successfully ​able to build with Alberto's sources. He is @i.snehal.kiran.
He has done this to compile but unfortunately for some reason he doesn't able to get the device to test. His msg is below
basically i have taken addison device tree ...just change the kernel path and defconfig name in boradconfig.mk ..makes it build boot.img
the source provided by motorola on github is full of errors..so use alberto's kernel for addison till you get official kernel from moto
https://github.com/Alberto97/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953
I edited the post bcz I thought u want to work with custom kernel for stock rom. And I thought this might not be useful.

I got as far as getting the LineageOS sources pulled for 14.1, had to do it twice since it was too big for my home directory so I had to create a new volume and run repo sync again. Took forever, but at least I have the OS sources downloaded. Now we're at the point of getting that kernel and setting up a device configuration for our device. Once we get that, then I can see if we can build and flash.

Device tree, Kernel source, Vendor blobs

Heya, I just got my hands on a J200H, and I get to keep it for a while.
As I was using it, I thought if there is any lineageos for it, and there is not.
Now it would be great if you guys point me where I can find Device tree, Kernel source, Vendor blobs for this device, so that I could start working on this device and add the repo to official lineageos server for build ( provided all things goes smoothly nearly one month is enough )
Also I saw some varients of this device, it would be great if you could add device models (the codes- like J200H) and their source codes too, I could try merging them into a universal source code and patch as universal makes less problem.
Thanks In advance! And any update will be posted here.

I doubt if the things mentioned are available.
But if the are really willing to do this than this can be useful .

Once downloaded you can know what is that actually.

Question Will there be a Custom Rom available in the future ?

Hello colleagues and friends
I am thinking about buying this phone but before that I would like to ask if anyone has information about the work on Costum rom for this device?

I've started reading about how to build Lineage OS for a new phone. I've never done that before, so don't hold your breath. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail. I've ordered my phone almost a week ago, but it hasn't shipped yet. Custom ROMs generally only happen for popular phones, so while I hope developers will join in here, I'm not super optimistic.

No
And even if there was it would be very very very buggy
As Kernel sources are not released

maybe we are writing petitions to nubi with a request to make the sources for this model public

Lol! I went to help.redmagic.gg and opened a chat asking for the kernel source code. They asked me to be more specific, so I said that in order to build Lineage OS (and other ROMs thereafter) I would need the kernel source code for the Redmagic 8 pro. They said they have escalated my request, and I should watch my email. I give this a 0.05% chance of success.

Customer support is garbage. I am using the OS set to Hungarian. The language is not officially supported so most things are in English (which is ok for meg), except for 1 thing. The update page is displayed in Spanish for some weird reason. I reported this 3 years ago.
No fix in Red Magic OS as of yet.

Well, it didn't take RedMagic long to tell me no:
We would like to inform you that kernel source code has not been released now, once it is released we can provide it for you.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us back.

Let them know it will boost the sales like moto edge s pro did if redmagic 8 would be the first 8 gen 2 phone that allows to install custom rom.
Red magic 8 has unique design, useful cooling fan. It is a good phone but branding is not popular.

I also send a really long text maybe if enough people asking them, they will finally give up lol

I'd recommend going for Paranoid Android (PA) as it's CAF (basically Qualcomm patches to AOSP). It also was built for Asus Zenfone 9 (8+ Gen 1), so similar steps for RM8 Pro could probably be followed. Maybe you can ask someone from PA team (or the Zenfone 9 maintainer) for help.
Also asked support for kernel source code, but most likely we could use one from Qualcomm (but it's not public, unfortunately, so we need to register there somehow)

Can someone write such a request in English and post it here in the thread and provide a link where I can send it to anyone who wants to copy it and send it Thanks

What about the kernel source from s23 series ?

There are also OnePlus 11 kernel sources available, but they all might have different device trees (same GPIOs are used differently). In worst case scenario one could fry the phone.
AFAIK we could extract GPIO information from boot.img, but I'd wait for official source code to be released. They published 7s Pro sources, so there is a high chance that 8 Pro will be published as well (GPLv2 obliges them to do so, but who cares)

Looks like the 7s Pro was released on July 11th, and the kernel source code was released on October 27th? So a 3.5 month gap maybe. The 8 Pro was released the last week of last year, right? So optimistically we're talking about mid-April?

I guess we are not getting kernel source code unless zte wants to release it somewhere in the future. Their support refuses to publish it (not that they have sources, but still), seems that this comes from their management.
BTW, there's a kernel for NX711J (Nubia Z50) here, maybe it could be used.
UPD: I just got an email from support. They finally agreed to provide source code, it will be uploaded soon. I'll publish a link as soon as I get it. No EDL package tho.

Now I propose to write a firehose public request for the edl package he can give too
Well, in my opinion, you should ask people who make costum rom to be interested in this model
