I am able to compile Kernel from source and re-use initramfs extracted from CF, Overcome and stock rom. But still it hangs when I flash.
I think I need to regenerate the /res/keys in the initramfs but I can't find details though I have read through most of the Development forum related here. I even search for some source posted to Github.
I don't want to patch the boot loader as it should be risky. Also CF and Overcome don't need to and I want to follow the same.
Please help
Thanks

Hello: )
I have just a question. Can somebody tell me how to port a rom, what program I need and how to change a kernel?
Thanks for you answer!
1. pleas change the title, please
2. in the treads of every kernel should be a description, additionally, Galaxy tuner and kernel flasher ( afair that's what it's called) have the capability of flashing a zImage (the kernel) at runtime.
what exactly do you want to Port? Anyway, Darkyy started a thread on how to create an odin rom in the developer section, you could take a look at that
Edit:
was to slow considering the title^^

I wan`t to port htc sense 2.1
I'm working on compiling a kernel for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. I've got source and the proper toolchain installed, but I need a rootfs. I did this for the Epic, but it's been quite a while. In the kernel config file CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE needs to be pointed to the source rootfs, if I remember correctly. Can someone lend a hand? Is there a FAQ or HOWTO?
not sure how familiar you are with irc, but if you get on fossnet and join the #gtab channel you will get some help there im sure.
Thanks for the tip!
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm having issues too (having only just had time to actually compile something from the Gingerbread source).
So, I've got the gingerbread update 2 kernel source, have extracted the initramfs.cpio from the existing gb kernel and pointed the appropriate CONFIG setting of the kernel p1_defconfig at that file and then performed a build. My assumption was that this would build a kernel that would boot and be nearly identical to the vanilla kernel. But apparently not as it just hangs.
Anyone know off-hand what I'm missing?
My issue was that the script I was using to extract the initramfs from the zImage wasn't working properly and was apparently truncating the cpio file. This was causing hangs when I rebuilt the kernel using this initramfs.
Using this script all works fine: https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs
Hi,
I've downloaded the 'official' Samsung Opensource Kernel files (GT-N7000_Kernel.tar.gz) - in an attempt to rebuild the kernel for my Galaxy Note (which has no tun.ko support).
However - there's no kernel config file on the device (e.g. under /proc/config.gz etc.) - and there's a bewildering number of defconfig's for the arch/arm architecture (over 200).
Does anyone know either where I can get the Galaxy Note's actual config (if it's not available under /proc) - or, which defconfig to use for the Note?
Cheers,
-Tacks
Hi !
I have another question, but let's first try to answer the original one. As far as I've understood, you can use the config file arch/arm/configs/c1_rev02_defconfig. Before launching "make", do
Code:
make c1_rev02_defconfig
According to this thread, you have to patch the generated .config file it before using "make" to build everything. However, this was about the SII, anyone knows if this still holds for the GNote ?
So, my other question is : how do you specify the stock kernel version you want. On the Samsung's Open Source Community website, they only offer one kernel source. How can I choose if I want to build the KK9 kernel, or the LB1 version ?
Thank you !
Bump.
How does one build a specific kernel version from the Samsung's sources (e.g. KK9 vs LB1) ?
Thanks !
Can some one tell me the best Kernel for Cm10.1 rom on the old BL?
Try it !
OFC kowalski kernel is the best kernel for P990.
Try it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097788 ^_^
just wanted to say that ^
used Kowalski on old BL and its also great choice on new BL.
Kowalski is the best so far.
About Kernels I am a big noob...could you plz guys show me the link where i can see the steps for dummies to install this kernel?

every dev thread (rom or kernel related) has the install instructions in the first 3 posts...
you downoad the coresponding bootloader kernel zip file (for old or new bootloader) and flash it through the cwm...
Kowalski Manager source
I've managed to integrate the kowalski kernel in my own CM10 build. I would like to integrate the Kowalski Manager as well. Where can I find the source code for Kowalski Manager? Or is it closed source (in this case I would go without it)?
As far as i know the latest kernel comes with the in build manager it self !
But if u still wanna install it, then check the 3rd or 4th post of the kowalski kernal thread itself!
Please Search before asking
Kowalski would be the best choice

I explicitly asked for the source code of Kowalksi manager. In the thread only the binary apk is linked.
Hi, I'm me again.. Ok. Here's the thing. I was just searching out files from roms for alfs, nAa and stock and I found out that ramdisk.tar files is in stock kernel roms and the others not! And also, I got libs for stock kernel. First is first! I wanted to know if I add ramdisk.tar files from stock kernel rom's and paste it in the other kernels rom and flash libs would boot up that? I don't really think so but I'm just asking. Hay.. Easy on me. While other peoples creating threads that doesn't even make sense about soft bricking (They didn't use the search button I hoped (Forever Alone Search Button)) I was asking some quite well questions so easy on me please
Please
Why don't just go ahead and try it?
As I remember (I not used stock kernel and roms for this kernel since the first custom kernel out ), the separated ramdisk files needed for the recovery. Ramdisk.tar contains the stock ramdisk, cwm.tar contains the clockwormod recovery, another tar file contains the xrecovery. Examine the chargemon file in any stock kernel based rom, you can see how to work...
I don't know what is your goal with these tar files and libs. You want to use naa/alfs based roms on stock kernel? If yes, you need to revert lot of things (wifi, egl libs, sensor drivers, etc...)

Thanks for the information bros. I was just asking. I wanted to port that's all I needed.
