Hey all!
I've jsut want to ask you, that how depends on the compatibility of a rom on a kernel? so what need to modify in a rom for being compatible with the specific kernel(nAa for exemple).
I've got no idea But if your point is to create a rom, I think you should start by working with the stock kernel for now

i've just want to make compatibile a rom with nAa11
From my experience the correct Kernel to use is always suggested by the developers of the ROM. For example the Minicm7-2.1.9 is built around the nAa Kernel and as far as I'm aware the ROM will only work with that Kernel.
CM7 suggests a FreeXperia Kernel which comes with the ROM (e.g. FX043) - I've not had any luck with this kernel and ROM myself. I did get the CM7 ROM installed with the nAa kernel but it kept freezing up.
Always try the suggested kernel or search for compatable kernel for the ROM you want to use. Of course you can always try to load any rom to any kernel and experiment / hope for the best as I have....
Hope this helped.
Hello.
As many people know, Alfs kernel is best known for its performance in gaming and "higher AnTuTu scores". And, the problem is, it isn't compatible with many ROMs.
1. So, I wanted to make a ROM compatible with this kernel, and I do not know if its possible. Is it?
2. I noticed that almost every ROM is compatible with nAa kernel, is it coz many ROMs r based on miniCM7?
3. I wanted to mod Xperience nAa kernel to be compatible with Alfs v08aCM7 and is there any way for this to be performed?
Thank You for your help !
(FYI, the reason I'm a new user is coz I never had any questions unanswered in this forum.)
Realy sorry for my noob question, I have a locked bootloader
I was researching a bit about the ICS for xperia x8, seeing that only custom roms based on AVD run on stock kernel, because the AVD is based on the same kernel version.
But, isn't possible to adapt the CM9 to run on stock kernel?
Why the CM9 don't have support for X8 on Cyanogenmod website? How developers made Roms based on it?
Moreover, why all the custom kernels are based on version 2.6.29.6? It is impossible or unnecessary to create a custom kernel based on 2.6.32 or up?
Sorry for my bad English.
So ics can't run on stock kernel.Stock kernel miss a lot of components from 3.0 kernel.The kernel is 2.6.29.6 but to have 2.6.32 need to port a lot of stuff so this mean need a lot of time.The nAa kernel's and alfs' kernel is pathed to 2.6.29.6 For now we have ported some components from 32,35,38 and 3.0 kernels.
We do have ics for stock but it is not for daily use. And the development has stopped so don't expect updates/fixes.
As naa said, stock kernel really can't support ics.

yes ics or jb on stock kernel is impossible and trying to port it is pointless.
We have ics for stock kernel, but gods sake its laggy, buggy. Its not good for daily use. U can find roms like ics. X8 is now old. But u can unlock bootloader by paid method. Next time please search.
Really thanks for your answers.
Interesting, I did not know that the custom kernels had several other superior features.
Actually run on ICS stock kernel is impossible, but there is very buggy roms projects based on avd can i run. What I was wondering is whether it is possible to install the CM9 on stock kernel. I do not think it was just out of curiosity noob ... :laugh:

Yeah. Its possible, check in development section.

I've tried the only two ics roms for the x8 stock kernel, and I know it's possible to INSTALL, but did not to use, because there are more bugs than fixes.
My doubt is if I can INSTALL CM9 in stock kernel, since I tested these roms are pure android, not CyanogenMod, they are based in AVD, android debug bridge. :fingers-crossed:
Hi All
Sorry if I have to ask a dumb question here. I'm currently using Stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 ROM and I have just installed HydraCore v5.4 kernel.
If I install the HydraCore v5.4 kernel, does this mean I always have to look for any future ROM WITHOUT a kernel?
I understand that many ROMs come combined with a kernel packaged with it so what do if I want a particular ROM but also want to keep HydraCore?
Thanks in dvance.
Trevor
there is no such rom without a kernel.. all ROMs will have its own kernel. but then later u can change it to ur choice. Hydracore is compatible with most of the ROMs.
so if u want to keep hydracore.. u need to install the rom first and then change the kernel manually to ur choice
A rom can not be completed without kernel.
You see kernel is like backbone and basic thing required by rom.
Hydracore is good.

Guys I have made a custom rom based on CM7.nAa 14 kernel is compatible with CM7.But I want my custom rom also to support it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gifI have downloaded the .ftf kernel file and I have also extracted it.What changes do I have to do in my rom to make my rom work with the kernel?
Please give a detailed answer.
@OP
Well kudos to you for finding the right section. And what CM7 ROM exactly have you based your ROM on?
It already started working.But thanks for you trying to help.
What I want to know is that there is no networking in my rom.
Please help me fix it.I am talking about a custom rom developed by me based on cm 7.1.
What CM7.1 ROM have you based this on? I'm asking whether you have based your work on any existing ROM or not and the name of that ROM. If that ROM supports nAa-14 kernel, then your ROM will support nAa-14 kernel too.
My rom is supporting the nAa 14 kernel,I have tested it I have a bug in the network. It has no network at the moment. Do you know a fix for this bug ? I am running a rom that is developed by me and I am now testing it.
I haven't released the from here yet.

Network bug? I don't even know if logcats can be used to debug. Can you try re-flashing the kernel and the ROM?
Basically you not need to change anything in the kernel. You need change the userspace drivers in the rom to match with the kernel level drivers. Both active x8 gb kernel (nAa and alfs) use similar drivers, except the proximity sensor (nAa use a modded one, alfs use the stock driver), you can use both with the correct libsensorservice and hw libs. And not 100% sure, but nAa use the older kgsl driver (1.1) alfs use newer (1.2), need to change the driver in the rom (libgsl.so).
To solve the network errors, you need to check the RIL related binaries and settings. Better if you give more detailed infos your base rom, the "cm7.1 rom" is not enough. CM7 but the origins? CM7 exists on thousands of phones. Better if you use x8 rom, or rom from a phone what use same hardware (msm7x27 like lg p500, galaxy mini, htc legend, etc...)

What more should I add to"cm 7.1"? Please make it clear. Its downloaded from the cyanogen mod download center. It is used as my base rom. I modded it with certain tweaks and replaced many apps and also added many other mods
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
You could have said that it was downloaded directly from cyanogenmod.com for a start. It's pretty confusing when you say just CM7.1 because there are hundreds of CM7.1 ROMs lying around the Development forum, some for stock kernel, some for nAa-gb and others for alfs-gb.
Let me give you a tip if you're just adding tweaks and other mods, and not modifying it on a large scale. Instead of releasing a ROM, why not release a flashable-zip that will make required changes to the existing ROM that users are on. It will be unique and if you want, I can help you with it.
Summary: Why waste time releasing a ROM (~80MB) when you can release a flashable-zip (~10-15MB)?
Cheers.

I just asked what is your base rom because we not have official cyanogenmod support. If you use only the cm repo to build a complete rom, it will be really hard, due the missing device specific parts. So, the question again (I hope it is clear): you use only the cm repo as base OR use unofficial cm repo from nAa (with working device specific settings/codes) OR use prebuild cm7.1 rom from x8 OR use prebuild cm7.1 rom from other phone. All options is a cm7.1 rom, but all need different works.
From the best to the worst:
1. Use the minicm repo from nAa (nothing to do to get fully working rom)
2. Use prebuilt x8 rom as base (basically not need to do anything)
3. Use the official cm repo (need lot of work because missing a lot of thing)
4. Use any non x8 prebuilt rom (basically the hardest way, need large amount of work with hw related things)

We used to have official CM support till CM7.2 (I guess). It's stated in the CM Shakira page. And you can build CM7 from source as EET has explained in his tutorial. But in any case his best option (if he's going to compile from source) is to use MiniCM7 repo. It's the most updated one.
Plus it will support nAa-14 without any modifications.
The OP wrote this is cm7.1, not 7.2 As I know the official cm7 support is not complete, but my knowledge is NOT unlimited And we not have cm kernel.

I am using a prebuild x8 rom and modding it
And what is the original rom, what you use as base rom? If it is a stock kernel based rom, you need to change the drivers (sensors, gsl, egl, etc) to work with nAa kernels, if it is a minicm based rom, nothing need to do it will work with nAa kernel.

I think he got over that problem by now. LOL.
No man its not working.
See I will explain my question once more. I am using this rom as my base rom: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=shakira
I want to make this rom compatible with custom kernels like nAa 14 and alfs etc so what should I do exactly?
If I have to change my drivers then please explain to me how to change my driver to these kernels and also tell me where to find the driver files in the rom and also tell me the download link for the drivers please.
I will be very grateful!
THANKS in advance. Please someone help me.
