Samsung has released the kernel source:

Now we have the source, is there a guide anywhere on how to merge this source so we can build CM9 for our T-mobile note?

By "custom" you mean based on stock roms or AOSP-derived?

depending on what an developer wants to build
What will the impact of this project be on areas that have been problems for aosp projects such as hardware drivers ?

1 kernel to rule them all means that 1 hal fixed in 1 device works on all devices
1 patch merged in kernel to fix something fixes same problem on all devices

I hope I'm not presumptuous or wrong: will it come with CWM and/or TWRP recovery versions?
Many thanks.

this is just source code so depends on developers on what android fork is used

Unless I'm mistaken, the sony source doesn't work with pure AOSP. All AOSP or derivatives roms use the CM android_kernel_sony_msm8974pro or forks of it.
My question is thus the following: is this kernel source compatible with AOSP or like "kernel-copyleft", only with stock rom derivatives?
My custom kernel works on the latter, but I need to use the "msm8974pro" trees for pure AOSP.
Unless I'm missing something?

Can't boot
@jerpelea I've compiled AOSP Lollipop and it boots fine. I've compiled the kernel from 3.5.2.2 branch of the unified kernel source and successfully made zImage. I've combined the zImage with the resulting dtb and the ramdisk from the AOSP build. I can't get the device to boot for some reason. It's stuck at the Sony boot logo. Did I miss a step ? I've searched online but couldn't get enough help about this.
Tried the same with Kitkat too but same result. Doesn't go past the sony boot logo.
UPDATE
Got it to work The command line argument in the guide provided has android boot device as qcom whereas the one compiled during AOSP has it as "shinano" Took me 1 build to understand this Back to work again
hi All
Busy weeks ....months ...
Progress so far
- unified 3.4 kernel is stable for daily use and community tweaking
As some of you have already seen we have started work on comunity 3.10 unified kernel
This kernel is not finished and not stable but is an invitation for developers to joyn, test and improve a kernel built "by community for community"

build guide has been updated for easy reading

hi all
kernel 3.10 is progressing nice
it can soon be used on SONY AOSP Project
master branch on devices uses 3.10 kernel
l-mr0 branch uses 3.4 kernel

hi all
3.10 is progressing nice
at this point can be used for L MR1 and shows good battery savings
more enhancements and bugfixes will come soon

Hi @jerpelea, which of the branches should be used for the 3.10 kernel?
I ll be appreciated that the unified kernel can support d6563.

This is the kernel opensource of the Samsung Galaxy Gear to boot Android Lollipop. I used this kernel source when I ported CyanogenMod 12.1. The error may not be occur in this source. It's almost perfect.
I open source because of some people asked me to open source, on youtube or mail.
README
I ported the key part of this kernel at smdk4x12 devices
Ported mali driver in the devices, that OpenSource Samsung uploaded
Applied the patch at CyanogenMod Kernel Source
You should leave credits when you use this source
I would not upload the ramdisk that I worked

Wow. Awesome that someone is still developing for this watch. Anyone try it yet?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt this kernel what we've been waiting for in regards to Wear?

hello all, fairly new to rom development and have gotten almost fully through the process of making my first rom!
my only question is how to include the kernel, vendor and other nesecary files for building in the local manifests xml file.
I found this repo from detcaf which seems to be all the stuff I need but I am unsure how to include it into the xml file.
the rom I am trying to build is based of cyogenmod 11 (android 4.4 kitkat)
detcaf repo: Decatf/android_device_samsung_p4wifi at cm-11.0
guide I have been following: [GUIDE] Build crDroid ROM from source | XDA Forums
sorry if there is aready a post on this that I am unaware of, if so please link it below..
Thankyou so much in advance
Luca
