Tips for building kernel and modules - Legend Android Development

Hi there
I'm mostly a silent forum reader because my english isn't very good .
But I didn't find any discussions for building the Legend Kernel and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
The sources are from http://developer.htc.com.
Trying the google toolchain 4.4.0 and the one from codesourcery both won't work.
No errors while building but it always hangs in splash
Comparing file size with original kernel is a difference between 200 and 700 bytes depend on taken toolchain.
I called make with ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
Any ideas or hints?

i'm interested to compile the kernel too..
can you link me what guide/howto did you use?
thanks!

I used hxxp://www.cianer.com/androidg1/28-building-android-kernel-images
replacing toolchain version 4.2.1 with 4.4.0 because dmesg returns it.
You don't need to grab the .config from the phone.
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- msm7227_defconfig creates exactly the same.

Same problem here.
But even if I extract the kernel from shipped HTC images (using perl scripts found somewhere), the boot.img build by AOSP doesn't work.
I guess it's not a problem with the kernel alone.

Oh... Thank you ali ba! That was the hint I needed: You have to add --base 12c00000 to mkbootimg

So I guess 0x12c00000 is the kernel base? Will add that to my scripts.
Btw, does the kernel work for you now?

So does this mean that creating custom (overclocked ) kernels is now possible?

My Legend currently runs on a Kernel compiled by myself.
But I'm interested in the patches for the last update (2.03 from htc). It seems there are some changes on the kernel...
Anybody knows how we can get it?
This night I will try to compile the tun.ko and look for information about overclocking...
Help is welcome

Check out this topic. Although it is for Droid Eris, I presume that the procedures apply for the Legend too.

Yep! It works! Thanks!
In kernel configuration you can set the minimum frequency of the cpu with screen power on.. now i'm going to try to build it with that configuration!
I think that htc will not release that source unfortunately..
It could be interesting update git sources and try to add htc stuff..

It works! now when the screen is wake up cpu go to 247 mhz (that is htc's minumum with power off screen)..
Wifi is a little bit lazy and it doesn't want to work right now..

and what is the default configuration, for this minimum cpu frequency?
setcpu tells me mine runs at 480mhz min, but to show the value the screen needs to be on. maybe it goes lower with screen off but I don't know that

Now:
│ [*] Change Cpufreq Policy while Screen OFF
(245760) Minimum speed while screen on
(600000) Maximum speed while screen on
(245760) Minimum speed while screen off
(245760) Maximum speed while screen off

System panel seems to agree with that freq

From where did you have your posted output? Is this from an app? I didn't see something like that on dmesg or logcat

into the folder source: make menuconfig
Problem with wifi still there.. I don't know why i just modify that configuration.. now i'm going to try with vanilla configuration (maybe some idle frequency problem?)..
---
not a frequency problem..

I tried in a million different ways with no results..
If i build my custom kernel wifi stop working.. any idea?

Yeah... Sorry, thats my fault...
You have to add EXTRAVERSION=-e3993620 when you call make to use the tiwlan module
EDIT: look to software info when you have installed the original kernel to know what you have to add to EXTRAVERSION

Guys,
Seems like there are lots of threads popping up with new 'packages'. I thought we should create a thread solely for the discussion of kernel hacks/patches so that we can separate the two:
For those of you who dont know, http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-xdadev is the repo were are working on.
Just to clarify, this topic is ONLY for discussion regarding Kernel patches. Thanks to vdelf's headset patch it seems sensible to focus on:
1. Backlight always on problem FIXED 01/05/10 (vdelf)
2. Battery Issue FIXED 11/05/10 (drlucky)
3. Camera
4. USB
5. GPS
Makes sense. Lets add USB to the list. While charging works, data transfer does not. Also USB might allow us to debug kernel/android on the x1 and that is what dev's always dream of
:suggestion: why not add the latest kernel as download in the 1st post if there is progress. So everyone know where to download the latest updates u ppl do

@dexteral,
Anyone can checkout the kernel from the above repo I posted. To do what you require we would need to upload the Kernel everytime someone adds a patch...

Is data transfer even possible in haret? I mean how would system unmount sdcard if it's running from sdcard itself?
not fast data but normal will work

Hi, Lets add fm-radio to the list
Great idea ... otherwise we are creating such a mess with lots of different kernel versions in different threads.
If anyone is interested in compiling the kernel as well as the wifi modules, I have setup a VMWare debian appliance containing all necessary tools and scripts to compile everything. Since this is a few hundes MB, I haven't got a place to upload ... need to check this first. If you are interested, let me know.
@drlucky
Have you had a chance to look at the backlight issue? I am almost out of ideas
Can you post your modifications on the microp-module and what you found out until now?

Just played with the klt-driver a bit. I always get version 0x0000, which on a hero means "bootloader mode". I have tried to migrate the hero code, but with no luck. It seems that the microp-klt needs a "reset", which shoudl be done by using a magical GPIO (on hero: 76), but this doesn't currently work at all. Kernel boots up, but still gets no valuable version number.

[ABANDONED]FIXED/MODIFIED][KERNEL][16 JULY] franco.Kernel | 2.6.35.10

So I compiled franco's kernel with his sources at github with incoming call fix from CM with other improvements. All Credit goes to franciscofranco who was so kind to compile this kernel even-though he has other devices, and also other developers for all these patches included in the kernel.
I decide what I want not you. No means no, if you ask me to add *insert feature here* IF I consider it useless etc etc
Also one thing to note that it doesn't have :
* (Since franco didnt release his sources for it)
Doubled busses frequencies - system will go faster but you'll possible lose some overclocking capabilities. Busses frequency OC > cpu OC.
* Your megaduper governors (people failed to realise that tuned stock governors(or they can tune them themselves) have almost same performance with smartass etc)

Btw, this kernel with fix feels a bit faster than franco #3, but I don't think is nowhere near the speed of #4

It sounds like a noob question, but how do you add alot of files as once and commit them, do I have to manually do it or do I need to use a git GUI like git-cola?

I did not find a gui (for linux) that I like. Therefor I only use the console git.
Adding all filles at once:
Code:
git add .
Commit all changed / modified / added files at onces:
Code:
git commit -a
Commit all changed / modified / added files at onces and set commit message (no editor opens).
Code:
git commit -a -m "my commit message"

Dear Cresqo,
Please go thru following link it may be helpful to extract .config file from Franco kernel #4
Link:
http://droid-force.com/archive/index.php/thread-184.html
This what the thread says:
There is a simpler way to get the basic .config file, and this is to get it from a running kernel built by someone else. You can extract the .config from a running kernel with these commands:
Code:
cd ~/android/kernel/bravo_2.6.35_gb-mr
adb pull /proc/config.gz
zcat config.gz > .config
Now we can open menuconfig and add anything we need in addition.
Note: I think "bravo_2.6.35_gb-mr" is the working folder \ Home directory on PC

Honestly I don't think it will work and my .config is quite OK actually...so the only way is to ask Franco for it since he didn't enable the option for the config to be in config.gz

Hmm, tough question, maybe a little smooth, maybe, but i'll revert as soon as there is any bug associated with it (didn't encounter static sound bug so far, perhaps it's due to compiling the ROM with linaro toolchain)

[FW 402][UB][6502/6503]YadliKernel, almost stock, slight undervolt, notification light mod

[FW 402][UB][6502/6503]YadliKernel, almost stock, slight undervolt, notification light mod
This kernel is based on Sony .402 source.
The goal is to create an almost stock kernel with recovery, battery saving modules, and eye-candies.
Attention: Users with locked boot loader should NOT flash this, even you have recovery!
The image will be written to the correct partition, but the BL will refuse to load it!
Credits goes to @DoomLord for his wonderful guide, toolchain and various tools for kernel building.
Features:
-75mv undervolt. No sysfs interface. Taking effect from powering on.
Notification light mod. Discussion thread [v2]
A new patch to correctly cap all cores. Compatible with all frequency setting apps. [v3]
TODOs:
Nothing TODO. Any suggestions?

Hey mate, very nice to have another developer for Z2.
It is just my opinion, but isn't -75mv will create unstable system?

I'm testing this all the time. Seems no problem so far.
I do experience random reboots one or two times a day with -100mv for my phone.
If you find it unstable, please post it here and I'll modify the parameters.
(Well in that case I think I'd better plug the undervolt interface back in )
Thank you so much. I shall test it right away and report if I come across any issues.
Can we use this with the newest firmware?

I have a locked bootloader, but rooted (stock. 402) and using XZDualRecovery. Can I simply flash this kernel?

Thanks! I'll consider changing the initial values, or bring in the interface in the next version.
Meanwhile, a lot of people are testing this in a Chinese forum (I guess they're going for the LED mod not the unstable undervolt:cyclops. If any of them report crashes I'll update at once.
Also, in the next version I'll write a patch similar to "snake charmer" but works without FauxClock.
Thus you can cap the freqs with things like SetCPU.
I personally purchased both but FauxClock refuses to work without Google stuff.
And now I'm on a Chinese FW... Well

Well custom kernels aren't supposed to be able to work on locked bootloaders (changes to protected partition).
How did you change the notification light mod, maybe that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.

The interpolation code is written in the kernel. Linear, n=16, nothing heavy.
I've already had people to test this kernel on locked BL. It did not go through BL/fastboot. Instead I adapted @DooMLoRD's installer that flushes the image directly to the corresponding mmcblk.
EDIT:
*facepalm* It did go into the partition... But locked BL refuses to load it! :/
Are we able to change individual settings in your kernel using FauxClock like DoomKernel or are all the settings hard-coded?
Not too keen on running my phone with -75mv as anthing over -24 would make my phone reboot like crazy

Sorry, I missed it
-75mV is to much undervolting!
it works fine in 99.5% of the time. But under extrem high load, like CPU Prime Benchmark apps like Qualcomm Trepn Profiler start to crash.
Thats a sign for unstable undervolting.
.314 FW is out, do you think to update your kernel to this new version?

So. You're a kernel dev... Got a question for you. How do I add more CFLAGS to the makefile without it not booting or whatever? I've tried adding -O3 to the 2 places I know to put CFLAGS. Same place I put the -w so it would work with GCC 4.8

So. You're a kernel dev... Got a question for you. How do I add more CFLAGS to the makefile without it not booting or whatever? I've tried adding -O3 to the 2 places I know to put CFLAGS. Same place I put the -w so it would work with GCC 4.8

I wouldn't say Im a kernel dev....more of a dabler...lol. I sent you a pm with my makefile so you can see adjustments I made for my kernels latest build (not yet publicly released)

So you're allowing the integration of it? Just to be clear.
So I'm not sure why but the kernel borked again. Maybe I need to go through one flag at a time? Or maybe forgot something....?

Seems to be running very well, once I got past that installation error....
Nice and smooth, especially with my aosp kernel...

Hey. Im having nothing but issues building it in the ROM so I was curious if you could tell me what I need to do after copying the msm8960 folder to a new place and adding in the makefile changes? Ive never built a kernel independently before but would like it to be a boot.img like normal so I can just replace the one in the ROM zip with the new one. Im sure it's pretty easy, just figured I'd ask you rather than comb through 80 guides saying different stuff lol.

Could you pm me with more info. Exact process of building, errors during build, any changes made to source, etc.
I'm gonna download your source later, together we should be able to figure this out.

I'm not seeing errors. Hell I removed everything but the -O3 spots and it still refused to boot. I dont know what the deal is....
Anytim I do ANYTHING to the kernel its dead, no matter how stupid it is.

BTW. The makefile is borked. And was curious if you knew how to build AOSP for this device? CM was pretty easy, I'd figure AOSP isn't too different. Then I can try to get Android L running once I have a working Android K to cross-reference to and make the version specific changes in device, kernel, vendor, qcom-common, and s4-common

When certain flags or 03 is added it creates a larger zImage. In order to compensate the boot.img needs needs modified, either by kernel installer or if baked in the rom hex edited. To change the ramdiskaddr.

Absolutely correct. And to elaborate on this just a bit more. Since your source building here, you can actually adjust the ramdiskadd with the scripts, considering it uses mkbootimg commands to build the boot.img.
An additional line in your devices board config, to give it a new ramdiskaddr size. Then an additional line in the build folder factory_ramdisk.mk , to handle the command for a new ramdiskaddr size should do the trick.
As for your other question about building aosp. I'm afraid that would be beyond my area of expertise. You would have significantly modify aosp code to allow for caf. It would be much harder then building cm, cause cm already has all the adjustments needed for caf devices

I read this and my eyes glaze over. But you are in good hands with these two helping you. :highfive:
Yeah I'm working on it guys. Read the integrated kernel building guide and trying that. But if I could just get it to build me the boot.IMG and get my ramdisk sizes and whatever I'm looking at where to edit it in the device/BoardConfig changed the defconfig to a custom one I made based off the original one from the working boot.IMG but changed the I/O scheduler & CPU governed defaults. Gave it a local name (UnityKernel-x.x.x) and am fighting its last issues. So if nothing else help building it independently might be the most useful now. So if nothing else I can push a new boot.img
My bad. It just says the boot partition size so I think I might be almost there

thanks for the source it coould prove useful in compiling a custom rom for the 64bit i may have to re sync the cm11 repo and give it a shot..
could you also provide a link to the boot.img so we dont have compile the kernel lol.. cheers..
excuse me if i sound stupid,but what is "AWB LCD Custom Color for .Rec 709 Profile" actually? is it actual modified screen colors or is it just the custom kcal driver?
Kcal driver. For Rec. 709 Calibration. My display is calibrated with a Colorimeter.

i build for the 32bit,i cant merge a 3.10 kernel with a 3.4 one :silly:
I write you next days a pn. Have no time at the moment.
You can push a 64 bit stock kernel to git an the push my source than can you see all changes. ?
Just a question...
Exactly which toolchain you use to compile??
I'm about ready to flash your kernel - thestealth131205 I'll update after i get my flash on.

Thank you for your kernel, have been using it for a month (on my EU) and it works very well!
However, could you make some progress please...
As it is seen on this forum your work is the only one for 64bit. So, could you consider some suggestions?
Namely in their 32 verisons of modded kernels developpers write here about improving screen touch responsiveness and removing HTC's backdoor "debugging" access... How about it?

Last I touched base/read with you and RBHEROMAX, if I understood correctly, you were going to be changing something so I've been trying to remain patient and wanted to inquire about this. I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport (sprint) all stock to entertain myself with. LOL. I have the utmost respect for you and Rbheromax, I'd like to thank you again for your dedication and time put into this project and the respect and patience you give to everyone that asks you questions on any level. You are very special individuals giving the gift of knowledge to all that seek it.
All that came together to make the 64 bit HTC Desire 510 project. All that came to the rescue to make THEDREAMER possible. You are pioneers and not afraid of a challenge. I don't know if you have any sort of recognition for everyone that takes the time and puts fourth the effort to share the GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE. If not, I'd like to declare Tuesday, March 31, 2015 programmers appreciation day! And you both deserve the GOLDEN THUMBS UP AWARD just because I appreciate your patience, and you caring enough to share knowledge with individuals that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to delve into this field.
THANK YOU!
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by speaking up. But I. Believe it's time for some recognition with a simple shout out saying THANKS, YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE.
paying it forward....

Should the kernel name be "3.10.28-g36bd0f8-dirty (root @ speedstarlap)" after installing?
I'm trying to enable S2W and can't seem to get it working, was wondering if the kernel installed right, or if there were other versions - you said you have MSM8919, whereas my 510 shows up as MSM8916- a typo or actually different chips? (if possible, could you please tell me how to enable S2W if the kernel installed right?)
@edit - Managed to get it... "working" - if I lock the screen and swipe to right and left near the menu buttons within 2-3 seconds from locking, it works. otherwise it doesn't. D2W is fully dead though. I'll poke around it a bit more and see if I can get it to work properly...
Hi, which gcc are u using? and how to compile the dt.img?
I compiled a kernel for D820, only with stock dt.img could bootup. It boots into bootloader if I use the dt.img which I compiled from stock kernel source.
could u help me?
Kernel works great and great improvement in speeds! Thanks
I've a problem. Sometimes the touchscreen doesn't react after waking up my phone. But the volume up and down and the power button work.
Can this be because of the kernel? I don't know. Please help.
