CyanogenMod 7.2 Specific BASIC Kernel - Cooperve
We are planning to release a kernel that con work on both devices, a BCM21553-common kernel, but that is hard work, as we must compare all the files from kernel, and test everychange.
FEATURES:
Due to the kernel is pretty advanced, we are not talking of a TO-DO list, we are talking about a FEATURES list, so the FEATURES are:
Kernel just compatible with CM7
Specific Basic - Samsung official not-modded sources
EXT4 support
CWM Inclluded on kernel with EXT4 support too
Images of CWM patched to show good colors
Bluetooth and Wifi configs added to work with CM7
Common ramdisk used based on kissingmylove and PsychoGame
Ramdisk optimized for CM7 and EXT4
Compressed through LZMA
IMEI working on CM7
Offline charging working on EXT4 CM7
SOURCES:
KERNEL SOURCE (GPL) is the official samsung kernel, as it is a specific BASIC kernel:
Sources of kernel: http://opensource.samsung.com/
I needed to modify the configs to get a BT, Wifi, and EXT4 working, this is not included on Samsung stock kernel, so I leave here the config source:
Source of defconfigs: https://github.com/broadcomCM/android_kernel_bcm21553-common_configs
Ramdisk has been also modd to create a bcm21553-common ramdisk that all users could use. SOurces to ramdisk can be found extracting from my kernel (LZMA) or also on github.
Sources of Ramdisk: https://github.com/broadcomCM/android_device_samsung_bcm21553-common_ramdisk
If other kernel developers want to contribute on this, shot me a PM, and I'll talk with you.
Thanks, Biel.

By the way, I can help you, but I have to learn more about kernels! (you know! Mentioned in chat! )

Dude, dont feel useless. Maybe we are not as experienced as them, different people are better at different things. So relax.

biel can you do a git diff and git status with the boot.img of yours and the boot.img of hell lock/rafael ?
with that we can see what has changed and fix it on the sources

Yes well I'll push changes to kernel asap as I make
Other idea:
Okey guys I got it after lot of searching and thinking + confirmed by psyke83 (developer from Galaxy 5) the reason why not booting is the kernel. ANd it's weird because Hell-lock kernel was fine till now
http://pastebin.com/zYFQf8Z0
Error could seem a ROM error, but init.rc script must to be modifyied to locate dalvik. Probaly dalvik and cahce in EXT4. So we need the port from the other kernel to work new CM7. That will be long without the device, really long...
Thanks, Biel

That is done already by me, psychogame and kissingmylove. Give a try, you will probably give us more information about it.

Dear XDA-Community!
Im new here so i'd like to introduce me quickly.
Im Alex, 18 years old (at the time of this writing) and im from Austria.
Before i owned a Galaxy Ace and got our p970 some months ago.
Now to my question
I tried my hands on building cyanogenmod 10.1 for the p970.
i build it with the standard toolchain and it worked perfectly.
now im trying to build it with the Linaro 4.8 Toolchain, but it isnt booting and i do know its a kernel fault.
i know this because if i flash my Cyanogenmod Build, it doesnt boot, BUT if i flash it and then flash the ZeroGravitiyKernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082740
it boots up perfectly.
So i would like to know, if someone had succcess with building our kernel with a Linaro Toolchain and which patches i may or may not have to apply.
i tried using the ZeroGravitiySources but still it fails to boot up after flashing.
(also i did a quick benchmark test with rom toolbox and the build with the standard toolchain gets 7.3 and with using linaro and the other kernel i get 10.2)
any help is much appreciated
Yes the problem is the kernel. ....it was not easy to make the kernel boot...
Use my patch from my topic...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184519
This patch is for ICS v30c.....you can diff the patch with original files....and put the same in your kernel...
You can find original files from Nooby's git...and dowload only those specific files to see the diff......

Thank you very much, already used it some days before and got it working, forgot to update here
Cherry Picked a lot of patches etc.
i just wondered, because i cloned his source and compiled without changing anything with the same toolchain as he was using and i didnt got it to boot.
Hi all,
First of all, I hope that is this question was not yet in the forum. At least, I have searched for it.
Well, I'm trying to compile LG P990 kowalski kernel from @pengus77 from it's github sources (github(dot)com/pengus77/lge-kernel-star)
Currently, I'm using the oldBL and I'm compiling the kernel using Linaro toolchain 4.6.2 (in Ubuntu).
I can compile the kernel without major problems, and both zImage and modules are generated. After, I used the the anykernel script (for old bootloader - oldBL), the same used by @pengus77 to distribute the kowalski.
The problem is that I can not boot the phone using the zImage compiled by myself. It always stucks in LG Logo.
Do you have hint to this? It might be a problem with environment setup and/or with Linario toolchain version?
All your possible help will be appreciated.
Many thanks!
I'm trying to build kernel for our sgsa using these sources:https://github.com/TeamCanjica/android_kernel_samsung_u8500/tree/cm-11.0
But after flashing zImage the phone gets bricked.Please help me!Iam using this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748297
Hard Brick ? if not you should first re-flash rom by ODIN.
I don't have knowledge about kernel but I see CM 11 text, if you use it as a base you'll always get brick at "stock" ROMs because that kernel doesn't have Touchwiz support it just made for CM/AOSP.
Edit : There won't be a problem If I say use the STE's leaked sources, right ?
To build cm kernel for this device you need to:
1- download the sources (I mean whole cm11 sources from TC github, I know they are something like 10gb but I don't know how to do in other ways)
2- run on terminal
Code:
cd *SourceFolder*
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_janice-eng
mka bootimage
This worked for me for cm10 and cm10.1 kernels
For stock kernel you don't need the whole sources, there's a different process
P.S. thank to fedevd for this

If you want to make a kernel you have to repo sync the whole rom firstly and then you can do mka bootimage.

hey guys, just trying to fiture out a little problem,,, i downloaded 4.9 linaro and used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/howto-build-rom-linaro-toolchain-t1988315 to set it up, but its still trying to build kernel with gcc 4.4.x,, is there a way i can force it to compile with linaro??

So rom is compiling with linaro, but kernel not?
I am not quite sure how it works, but there are 2 places when toolchain may be stated: in kernel's defconfig and in Makefile. You can change both of them to your desired one and then try to compile.
Or (it should work too) before writing 'make' in terminal, write 'export CROSS_COMPILE=~/YOURtoolchainLOCATION'
