After much practice into linux, i went for a C coding workshop for android. Basically i doubled, maybe even tripled my skill level. I finally am able to promise you something not pointless to this society which feels great hatred on me. I already got over this. I hope such releases can ease the scams in may.
The new kernel, based on ARM.'s vanilla kernel common, will be a 3.4.11 kernel. It features full tweaks to all over the source. Expect little features on initial release. The releases in the front will be focused entirely on fixing the kernel sources itself. The major merge all the way to the latest kernel version might have caused bugs to appear

Again?? Aren't you tired? You went over it but people from the forum certainly not. I absolutely don't wanna argue with you but yesterday Jarred aka Universal SS droped the ARM thread and today you are back.And you are not the same person. Certainly not. You are like bad news,they never fail.

Good for you. Hope it works out better this time and test thoroughly before release and after changes.
might is a understatement. It almost certainly will cause bugs to appear (the most common bug is it not booting when major changes are made to the kernel base). Also allot of the bugs from the kernel don't show symtoms they just go wrong and use a few more KB of memory or that bit restarts and causes a slight slowdown or it takes a few milliseconds longer to complete its task etc.

First it was Nicholas who said he's handing it to a new maintainer, who is Jared, right? And Jared mentioned it has been dropped support

And now ARM Project's back?
Yes. He is fed up of this community. So, he turned over to support HTC. I give him my support for DNA. Now, i comeback to finish off what is destroyed, complete whats junk, and make it into something like a useful book into a library. Thanks xonar. I still have one last lesson. I did not learn drivers. edv, as said above, thats my motive. And, the reason why i comeback is the value of my life. You rather change an enemy into a friend rather than gaining more opposition.
nicholas for f--k sake !!! , once you have the kernel going post the topic and flatter yourself ,, you never learn do you
If this is going to turn into a flame war then I'll close it as that's not needed here but as it's posted in General, you should be here to discuss the topic. It's been explained why the other one was dropped but if nicholaschw wants to try develop something out of it let him and just ignore this thread if you don't have anything productive to add to it. This wasn't posted in Development so he's not expected to have the kernel ready to post so discussion is allowed here.

So you're involved with (kind of) non-profit organization (alike CyanogenMod), can we know who's the members of your team? AFAIK, you don't own the phone in personal. So you (might) develop those kernel alone by yourself, or how many developers in your team?
I read your ARM. Project Recruitment, and it seems no one interested, so this non-profit organization doesn't existed yet, or you already have your own internal team?

hmm, 80% of repos are forked from already good kernels from such devs like gokhanmoral, CM, garwedgess, coolya, etc.
it's like forking Diana kernel then adding a little touch.
Even your "bproj repo" is a clone from huexxx https://github.com/ARMP/bproj-black/blob/master/Makefile#L198 yet you pushed it as initial commit. I understand, maybe you're shy to fork it repo to repo.
Your Makefile on the repo shows:
export KBUILD_BUILDHOST := $(SUBARCH)
#ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
ARCH ?= arm
#CROSS_COMPILE ?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%)
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /home/huexxx/android/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Its not about only JAVA here you see. Building for a completely new device needs much more. If you are really keen to learn, then go ahead and pick up a book on Embedded Linux so that you can learn how a device tree is created, how it has to be edited and what sources are necessary to pull it off!
Cheers!

Calm down, guys. Don't get hyperexcited.
Developing a device tree is a hard and long process, as most of the things don't work and need proprietary files.
Give us some time. I'm sure that in the near future the development section will be full of ROMs

Just curious. Is Sony releasing kernel with proprietary drivers? (they say they are very open-source friendly) Coming from HTC device, HTC did provide the kernel sources, but heavily modified, which caused AOSP not working. I finally went for Sony for their attitude towards community, I saw some build files on their web, but not sure what exactly they are.

All kernels have proprietary drivers, every single vendor does it because the companies that manufacture CPU/GPU/wifi/nfc/telephony/bluetooth/etc chips don't want to release every bit of source code, so they release sources that should make the chip work easily on different builds of android, keeping a lot of code on precompiled binary files
Check the sony developer portal, they released the open-source pack for our devices...
As the title says, it'd be great if there was an updated list with the supported device which will be recieving 'L' from Omni.

There won't be, since L is not out and we have no idea what changes it is going to entail from a device support perspective.
As far as devices that are likely to receive "focus" from the team - Oppos and the Sony Xperia Z family. (Probably Z1/ZU also) - Because of how well Oppo and Sony have treated the open source community, in general, team members are more motivated to grab "older" devices they don't use any more in order to work on them.
However here's a list of devices that are likely to be dropped:
All Exynos 4210 devices (i777/n7000/i9100) - No active maintainers remain for these devices, they've been on minimal life support for two years now since Exynos-gate and the Superbrick fiasco of 2012.
I9300 - No active maintainer
Unknowns:
N80xx - Of 3 maintainers, the only one who remains is Humberto and he's kinda spread thin. So highly likely to get removed.
maguro - This didn't have an active maintainer for ages, but I think one did step up. I need to talk with the team.
Honestly, I'd love to just kill Exynos4 with fire with L and be done with that goddamned hell platform once and for all... But that is only my personal opinion.

As bad as Exynos is... MTK manages to actually be significantly worse.
Even if you have complete access to all of the source they give to an OEM (let's just say I've seen a complete leak for one MT6589 device), it's still a blob-ridden disorganized mess.

Hi OmniROM devs,
While waiting for Lollipop to arrive, can you please get around to updating the yuga kernel and blobs? There's no point of Sony going to the trouble of publishing the up-to-date kernel sources if the roms are not going to take advantage of it.

Yea, I know I already said that I won't be sad to see it getting dropped..
Last week, jakew02 said that he's going to drop support for Galaxy S4 LTE (jflte) when Lollipop arrived. He's leaving the source up, but OmniROM Lollipop on the S4 will need a new maintainer.
The key message here is that the core team can't maintain every device!
As much as we hate to remove devices, there will be a significant number removed, if there's no active maintainer for it. No device will be enabled for L nightlies (and thus official support) if there's nobody active and competent who is maintaining it.
If you've always wanted to get involved, now really is the time - L is upon us, and good things are happening
Going forward, if there is sufficient interest from the community (i.e. go out there and talk to devs and contributors from other projects please!), we are more than happy to facilitate making the 4.4 branch of Omni an ongoing project.
For this to work though, it would require enough developers to come together on legacy devices to make it viable. With new major Android versions, a lot of custom ROMs simply don't continue support for devices "left behind", but we're willing to try this out as an experiment. If there are sufficient (experienced) developers, we'll have 4.4 as an active project which will accept features and patches as normal.
For this to work though, it does require everyone to play their part - we'll need reliable people to review and approve changes etc, as well as active maintainers for devices.

Hi,
that's not really necessary if you ask me. We could always bring the kernel in sync with CAF, but that's it. This is also what OEMs do when updating their kernels (apart from fixes and such). Jerpelea, a Sony Mobile developer, agrees (see this post).
Also there aren't many "active" Xperia fusion3 (Z, ZL, Tablet Z) maintainers at the moment , and I haven't had enough time for such things.
BUT: Contributions are always welcome.

In that case - file bugreports in JIRA, since your device does have a maintainer. One does not gain the skills to be a maintainer overnight. Most people I know, including myself were "co-maintainers" (assisting with bringup but not solo) on devices for a year or more before their first time "flying solo".

Hi boys and gals and older fellows:
So, I have been following this forums for some weeks. I own a Redmi 2 Pro here in Mexico (2014819, 16 GB ROM and 2 GB RAM) and I wanted to test a fair amount of ROMS, I never had had a cellphone with so many custom ROMS available and I am very enthusiastic about it, so, I first went to CM13, then AICP, AOKP, DU, RR and even MIUI 8 Betas, until I found this ROM I still want to build called Paranoid Android. But I never compiled a ROM from source (I have been using Linux for many years, but never compiled an entire OS) and while I was trying to build AOSPA (or Paranoid Android) I realized it was too hard for my skills.
You see, I am only a user not a developer, and I see a lot of guys here developing and mantaining at the very same time, using their free time, processors, internet connection and patience for all of us, the users. So, I finally managed to compile CM13 from source and it runs pretty well (everything works) and it feels really great, like an achievement, but then I thought "Now what? Is it possible I can help other users? How can I learn more?". I know this is not a great achievement fro a developer, I did not create a device tree or developed a custom ROM or part of it or write a driver, I know too I can't really help any much more than I have helped to other users (as much or few as it can be). So, what do you think? I wanna learn more, I want to custom CM13 to my own needs as a learning exercise (add, remove, tweak governors; that sort of things).
||||||||||
TL;DR: I want to help people with a lot of work in his/her hands helping Redmi 2 community. I am a regular GNU/Linux user and I can compile CM13 from source. Is there any way I can help you to help others while I learn something more? Suggestions on what to do from now on are also welcome, keeping in mind I am not a developer and I do not want to be one.
Wrong place bro
You can get help from @s.sawrav and @pirej,these are sort of devs who could help you.
Btw if you can,please try to compile also nougat if you can.
And use Google for things you want to learn like oc,governors and stuff there are some pretty good threads here on XDA on how to build kernels and add features to it like this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/ultimate-guide-compile-android-kernel-t2871276 .
Wish you best luck?

I own a Redmi 2 Pro here in Mexico (2014819, 16 GB ROM and 2 GB RAM) and I wanted to test a fair amount of ROMS, I never had had a cellphone with so many custom ROMS available and I am very enthusiastic about it, so, I first went to CM13, then AICP, AOKP, DU, RR and even MIUI 8 Betas, until I found this ROM I still want to build called Paranoid Android. But I never compiled a ROM from source (I have been using Linux for many years, but never compiled an entire OS) and while I was trying to build AOSPA (or Paranoid Android) I realized it was too hard for my skills.
You see, I am only a user not a developer, and I see a lot of guys here developing and mantaining at the very same time, using their free time, processors, internet connection and patience for all of us, the users. So, I finally managed to compile CM13 from source and it runs pretty well (everything works) and it feels really great, like an achievement, but then I thought "Now what? Is it possible I can help other users? How can I learn more?". I know this is not a great achievement fro a developer, I did not create a device tree or developed a custom ROM or part of it or write a driver, I know too I can't really help any much more than I have helped to other users (as much or few as it can be). So, what do you think? I wanna learn more, I want to custom CM13 to my own needs as a learning exercise (add, remove, tweak governors; that sort of things).
||||||||||
TL;DR: I want to help people with a lot of work in his/her hands helping Redmi 2 community. I am a regular GNU/Linux user and I can compile CM13 from source. Is there any way I can help you to help others while I learn something more? Suggestions on what to do from now on are also welcome, keeping in mind I am not a developer and I do not want to be one.

Good job :good: but this is not the right section to post this,ask a moderator to move this thread to appropriate section,also checkout the chef central in android section of XDA and then there's google,it'll help you out a lot.
Thread belongs in Discussing forum not Development, moved as requested by OP

Just start from doing the green thing
That's the best way to learn, and when/if you are happy with the modifications you made, and you think that the rom you made is different enough to be posted as a different/new/your rom, then post it.

I'm not familiar with the meaning of "the green thing", I love plants, so it would be great it is a plant-related saying. Care to elaborate a little? At the moment I am learning some useful repo parameters and attempting to build Resurrection Remix which seems going just OK.
I am downloading too all the source code from CM11, I think that's gonna be doable for a newbie like me, AOSPA is just too much right now, so I gave up with that for now, even documentation is hard to get.

Oh, I see now, thanks for the advice. This XDA Forums app can't parse color tags, so I was lost.
Hey I Was hoping you could build and Maintain a stable Cyanogen 12.1! A lot of people are still using 12.1 and kumajaya has stopped active development on that ROM. Plus the Sailfish OS community would really benefit from your support
It was a good ride...

Yep.. All nightlies will be discontinued.. Too bad CM
LineageOS
The link in the word Lineage take us to a GitHub for a new thing called LineageOS. So if I'm guessing what the future holds correctly, CM is getting rebranded as Lineage?
I look forward to the new direction. But I won't be using it until camera on OP3 is as good as stock.

Nooooooo! Please tell me this is an early April Fools joke.
RIP CM
Welcome LineageOS
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oneplus_oneplus3
Yeah that's bad news man! But somehow it will live on we all know that. Thanks 4 the journey
I've used CM since 2.3.3. Thank You CM. Looking forward to the future...
Been using CyanogenMod since v6 on my Motorola Droid until now to v13 on OP3.
Was glad to see CM grow & was really amazing but now it's gone. RIP CM.
XDA loves you and Welcome LineageOS 2017.
Happy Holidays to all, Hope 2017 brings us a new Dawn.
Bring on Lineage.
While it is true that Cyanogen mod will loose it's name, the legacy behind the name will live on. Steve Kondik still owns the rights to his code, just not the name and as you have seen, everything is getting moved over to it's new home under the name of LineageOS. Screw Cygyn, they took CM into a completely different direction of what Kondik envisioned and to tell ya the truth, I am glad this happened, to get the OS back to it's roots and the meaning of what Kondik intended it to be from it's birth. Back to being for the community, by the community, giving the best experience, functionality and customizations for our devices, not about a bunch of corporate bs, greed and money.

Totally agree, I'm glad this is happening to, CM in its present form just uses too much bandaid and patch works solutions for its many bugs. I miss the CM back in the day. Hopefully lineage will bring that experience that Kondik originally envisioned back.
2016 can't leave normally.... Oh my god R.I.P CyanogenMod if it's true.

It's True
Hope that future LineageOS will support OP3 also

ALL current devices that have CM support, WILL have LineageOS support. lineageos is the same code a cm, they only had to change the name for legal reasons, as cyanogen inc. owns the cyanogen mod name.
They're importing the code to the github now. Give them a couple more days for nightlies to roll out.

Cyanogen is actually looking to bring legal action against the devs trying to rebrand CM as lineage OS so I wouldn't get too excited. It will be more excited to see CM die completely so we can have some real development occur or at least see some OEMS pick up the good developer's out there.

I don't know why you think that CM death would give benefit to the whole Android development scene.
It's not like there is lack of good developers in the world available for OEMs and open source ROMs, so her we are: a good established open source project shut OFF and pursued by Cyanogen Inc., and not much good alternatives available.
What is left?
AOSPA? No Nougat release.
Omni? Lights and shadows.
Other interesting custom ROMs not CM based?

Without CM or Lineage, there's not much hope for dedicated development for many devices. Even today many devs rely on CM kernel to build newer version of android and wait for CM devs to fix bugs first and then cherry pick them.
