So Guys,
on many places has been mentioned that there is/will be some devs who take a look on a possible future 3.0 Kernel for our tabs with ICS/CM9. As I am an "experienced noob" (my special word for "power-user ;-)) and not a dev, please could somebody enlighten me what benefits such a 3.0 Kernel would bring us? Performance? Features?
Thanks for your answers...
If allowed in forum rules (dunno for shure) you can discuss related stuff in here as well from my side.
Which kernel are you referring to??

Afaik there is no such kernel yet, as I said, but some devs are working on (humberos?!)

So then why has it got a version number of 3.0? Which other kernel are you referring to if there has been a v1 & v1?
Or are you confused and referring to Android 4.0?

Not confused... go to your devices details and you will see what I mean in kernel version...
Yeah, like in Linux, kernel version was 2.4 on the old days, then 2.6
For last decade, then now 3.0.
In Linux the 3.0 includes some android codes I think.

I don't think this would directly affect us users (or as you say it "experienced noobs"). More likely affect kernel builders (efficiency and compatibilities). Please correct me if I was wrong.
first we need the leaked ICS rom from Samsung and then Samsung releases the kernel source code. No doubt this will be the version 3.0 of the kernel.
Kernel 3.0 brings many benefits to users because many optimizations are included

Just saw another thread and I was curious as to why people are drooling about gingerbread rom. What is this rom? What is so special about it compared to Cog or Perc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Right now we are using 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs. The ROMs u mentioned above are modifications of 2.2 ROM (custom ROMs made out of 2.2 android version).
Gingerbread is the next version of android (2.3). Very soon u will see all (atleast most) of the custom ROMs here getting ported to 2.3 android base.

Am I correct that there is no guarantee this new android will be faster? Or will it have a new interface?
Here's why: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-2.3-Gingerbread-new-features_id15199
Specifically for me, the improved task manager with better save state.

Interface, as in home screens and related, can always be changed with themes and home apps.
The base versions are incremented/updated when there are some changes done to the underlying mechanisms. It would be best to check online for the android 2.3 change log that would tell you all the additions/updates/modifications done to 2.3.
Check out this link for technical changelog:

I've read about this beta 4 on its original thread, and looks like everything is really works.
but where's the download link?
Really eager to try it.
So, as i understand - games performance in ICS will be same as in Gingerbread?

kernel 3.0
Hi,
I wanted to know from the developers wether this is based on kernel 2.6.x or on kernel 3.x
I ask this beacuse I'm aware that it is not possible to compile the linux 3.x kernel for the armv6 architecture, but googling around I found that a patch has been created for the raspberry pi motherboard (which too integrates an armv6-compatible processor)
Here are some links:
SORRY BUT I CAN'T PUT EXTERNAL LINKS YET
(just google "Linux Kernel 3.1.9 for Raspberry Pi Released & Build Instructions")
Allright, the android kernel is highly customised, though, who knows, maybe this could help us galaxy mini users too!!
Maclaw is going to upload Beta4 today. Hope to use a stable Cm9.
Sorry, my English is not good

I've been using Codename ever since it came out but I got tired of the problems related to the Kernel and switched to ProjectX. I and I'm sure others really want to use a smooth and working JB ROM.
Is there anyone working on the 3.0 Kernel for our device? I know Nik said he contacted someone to help us out but there's been no news on that front yet.
If anyone knows how to modify Kernels, Adi_pat gave some tips here -

Upon the exit of JB roms ago, were used GB modified kernel, now with source code maybe will be possible to compile a fully working kernel, but afaik there are no 3.x kernel for JB, maybe someone is working out of xda on irc channel but don't known..
Sadly I do not have much competence, plus I don't have the phone it's to repair....
There is kernel 3 for incredible 2 and desire s..may be someone can port it..

Off the top of my head I seem to recall Noverbose saying he was trying to write a 3.0 Kernel. I also remember at least one other person mentioning something similar to, so there are people working on this. From what I understand it's not easy - I doubt we'll see anything this side of Christmas tbh. I hadn't realised that the Inc 2 and DS had a 3.0 Kernel though. Anyone know if they are actually a made from source version, rather than the same hacked version that we have in Codename, for example?
Well tbh honest a working GB kernel would do too.
Like the front camera and chrome and screen flickering etc.

Yes those 3.0 kernels are compiled from source. I checked out AOSP ROM threads in the Desire S and Inc 2 section that had 3.0 kernel, then looked up the creator of the ROM on github and found the sources. I was going to try tackle the 3.0 kernel to get a hang of the make system before building CM9, but I don't have enough monthly data left to download the kernel toolchain! Nov 1st is close, so I can get to work soon! :highfive:
The best way to build an AOSP 3.0 kernel for our device would probably be to look at the source code for 3.0 kernels on our sister devices, and figure it out from there.

I'm gonna worry mainly about compiling CM9 from source once November hits, that's gonna take up the majority of my time. After I get the first release of CM9 out, I'll start work on a 3.0 kernel if it hasn't been done yet. I have no experience whatsoever dealing with kernels though, except for small ramdisk edits, so don't expect any miracles.
It should be possible to port other JB ROM's over using one of nik's ported JB ROM's as a base and reference point, the only problem is I don't know exactly what files I have to substitute to port a ROM. I've PM'd nik about that a few hours ago, so hopefully I'll get some more information on the subject. Nik has been a big help to my dev efforts as a whole.

Interesting, if it's only the ramdisk that needs changing, couldn't you look at the ramdisk from one of niks JB ROM's? Or is it not as simple as that?

About using one of Nik's JB roms as a reference
What I understood was that the rom has been built around the old 2.6.x kernel and has to be modified again to work with the 3.0.x kernel, if you guys get one up and running. If that is the case, wouldn't you be going down the wrong path if you model it around nik's existing 2.6.x roms?
We need kaijura here, he was our AOSP kernel master. Hopefully he is doing ok, and has found something else other than xda because he hasn't been online for months. At least other devs, like lordclokan and kali- have moved on and are active with other devices... kaijura hasn't been on at all. Anyone been in contact with him/her?

I know, it would be going down a pretty redundant path. If I was able to port over a JB ROM using nik's ROM's as a base, then my ported ROM would inherit all the same bugs nik's ROM's already have.
I wish kaijura was still around, I have so many questions I want to ask about compiling from source! Luckily lordclokan was a massive help to me in that regard. Kaijura's github hasn't seen action in months either, sadly.
Forgive my ignorance, but isn't the Desire HD essentially our device with a bigger screen and less memory? That being the case, could we not just port across one of the 3.0 Kernels from that?
The problem with the ramdisk that come with the official ROM's that have 3.0 kernels, is that they are built for the sense framework and don't work on AOSP ROM's. The ram disk that is included with Nik's JB ROM's is heavily modified to run a GB kernel with ICS / JB sources, so the problem is I don't have a base to work from, I am basically trying to merge the two init's to make the 3.0 kernel boot.
Saying that we need to port 3.0 kernel is probably a bit misleading, and for that I apologise, the kernel itself has very little Sense specific stuff, it's the ramdisk that is responsible for launching the kernel that is the issue here at the moment.
The only problem with the desire HD kernel would be that our front camera would not work

Ok so 2.6.35 works with Jellybean. Why not pack the ramdisk with zImage compiled from 3.0.y sources(Considering you are using standard boot.img format[?]) Because to get it to boot, you would not require any hacks/changes to source, editing ramdisk(init.rc) is enough to make it boot initally.
EDIT: You may also need to change init binary.

Hello everyone,
I'm are proud to bring you the latest rooted kernels based on samsung stock kernels that you may find in ROMs by Samsung.
Why should i use this kernel?
My kernels are uber-minimal modification of stock kernel used only for rooting (no custom recovery is installed). So the kernel it's like stock just rooted, and there is small chance (or any chance) that it will be detected as modified by service center at the first look
Please find latest of kernels listed below:
*NEW* ROOTED! I9300XXELLB - Jelly Bean (4.1.2) - CL: 748978 - B.Date: 26.12.2012 - Download HERE!
[[size=-2]uname: Linux version 3.0.31-748978 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 15:40:05 KST 2012[/size]]
Instructions:
1. Flash tar file of choosen kernel using Odin
2. Profit!
What's included in this kernel
- Base image of kernel is 100% pure stock by samsung
- adbd in insecure mode (so adb shell will be automatically connected with root priviliges)
Nothing more, nothing less - Enjoy!
If you like my modifications, support me with even a little donation for a beer -> Click to donate!
WARNING: Flashing this kernel will pop-up your custom binary counter! (as when rooting )
Enjoy!
wanna ask, this kernel have sds fix or not?
SDS fix is not in kernel but bootloader and yes, this version (if you will flash full rom) have new bootloader with fixes.

Personally I always thought original means ORIGINALly YOURs (you are the author, not copied), not original Samsung....
But. .. maybe mistaken. ..
Variety makes this forum better anyway. ..
Kernel base is 100% oryginal, its not recompiled or compiled from sources, so in that meaning its 100% STOCK KERNEL.
Insecure kernels have modded adbd and other settings needed to run is as root in INITRAMFS of kernel.
This make it ROOTED STOCK KERNEL 100%

You're mixing up the meaning of original, this section if for original works in the meaning they are made by users (Compiled kernel/ROM/program), not original in the sense as the manufacturer delivers them.

Sorry for misleading, i didnt noticed the topic with patch, i cant track everyhing.
this thread is about insecure kernel mod not a patch for death of SGS, so please no more offtopic here.
Insecure kernels are stock base (zImage is not modified) kernel with modded initramfs, where STOCK means no "tweaks" in kernel code was made. All insecure kernels works like this so i dont see a point of bashing me for saying its STOCK cause base of kernel is.
I asked mod to clean the thread.

Why? It's a development discussion. You can't just go ask a moderator to delete things every time because somebody else is correcting you. That's bothering and abusing moderators.
it is original work. its modded initram by me , base is stock. if you dont like it, dont use it. if you dont like my reference to stock, then dont like it, i dont care.

Not to sound rude but to open a new thread in the development section to ask such a question is just not right. Please post such questions in the general section.
We do not have that many devs working on incredible s as it is a relatively old device. If someone manges to develop an ion kernel and port sense 5 you will see it in the dev section.
Quite fortunate to get a few working jellybean aosp ROMs and quite a few sense 4.1 ROMs for a device that has no more support from htc so enjoy those and be happy.

-_- what do u mean kernel...... The kernel is still a jellybean kernel, just modified to be compatible with Sense. Although I dont know how to do it, Im sure it might be possible for someone like Szeszo to develop such a kernel. The only problem is that it requires a ton of work and I dont think Szeszo has that much time..... Not to mention resizing of the actual ROM.....

its got something to do with a thing called ION within the kernel.
apparently our phone doesnt have it by default.
it was mentioned somewhere in cyanvivo thread i believe.

Yes it was and Im well aware of that. Our phone doesnt natively support Ion and as a result you have to change some camera libs, i think they were, and maybe a few other things here and there. But it is possible and the proof to that is the fact that we have Jellybean ROMs for our device.
