Ok, lately we have seen a lot of roms being posted that do not have kernel source links.
Be advised that XDA requires that you post kernel source when using non-stock kernels.
Stock Kernels
If your kernel is stock and not modified in any way, then you may post the link to the manufactures source (if available). If not, then state the kernel is stock.
If you have re-compiled the stock kernel, then you must have a link to your Git Hub with changes listed.
All others, including CM, AOKP, PA, etc
Link to your Git Hub, or which ever Git Hub or source you used. Along with changes. DO NOT just post a link to CM's site. Be specific which source you used.
All links to source must be links to a compilable kernel that works and matches what you have included in your rom. If you have "Cherry Picked" from other sources, please ensure you have their permission to do so, and, give credits when necessary.
Generally XDA will allow you 5 days maximum to post your kernel source. Please do not abuse this.
Failure to post kernel source will result in the ROM thread either "disapproved" or "Thread Closure" with all download links removed.
Most of you know the rules and GPL, so please abide by them.
Thank You for reading.

Due Requests & Complaints on Twitter, I've decided to make the souce I have available to the Public.. It's more for Dev's to work with, but if you wish to help support or maintain / Add to fixes, please let Barak & I know if you want to help.

Enjoy,

Thanks for work you've put into this, CM, etc. You shouldn't have to do this just to get some peace.
Thanks for your very hard work eugene.

Thats wassup lets get these kernels.pumping..
Eugene you the bestest!
Reported All Posts.. This is about Dev. Not the GPL regarding the Post.
The thread is not about discussion about GPL licensing, this thread is for development of the kernel only.
Stay on topic.
Hi eugene
I'm interested in doing some modification. Just like to know what tools are you using to compile and test these code?How is your set up?
ubuntu Linux 64-bit
Tools used are what Samsung suggested per kernel setup.
Kernel Source for Vibrant?
Hi Eugene,
Can you help me to understand what this kernel build is? Did you take the I9000 source and modify it to work on the Vibrant?
Does it fix the battery drain problem?
Put another way, could this source be compiled and be expected to run on the Vibrant? (Sorry about the noobiness; I am a EE but not a programmer.)
Thanks,
Bruce

I believe this would be simply the source code for the compiled 2.2 kernel we use that he has gotten to work. It was requested by a bunch of people but I read on the cm6.1 irc logs that they requested his source to help speed up the process. I'm sure it can be compiled, but without any modifications you will simply get what is already available in compiled form.

I dont know if this is the right place to post this question but anyways... i've been using redstars kernels on the N1 for a while and know that his kernels are hosted at restar.euroskank.com but there does not seem to be any changelogs for his nightlies???
Is there a site or blog which has the changelog to what his new kernels bring????
Not that I know of but you can just look thru the commit history on his GitHub source repo to get an idea of his changes.
Since I've received some requests to share my kernel source, I've uploaded it:
http://www.zomgupload.com/m1geir6ftpfr.html
Feel free to take from me anything you want, I especially recommend SLQB and TinyRCU for starters.
Beware though, like I've already told doomlord, the existent SEMC wlan source doesn't work as it's incomplete and full of debug and tracing and what not. This means that some of my changes to the kernel render the default wlan modules useless, needing these to be recompiled which can only be done at the moment for CM7 (this is why I didn't release for stock).
Any doubts ask here, I've bookmarked this thread.
use github dude
anyways thanks...
wow, i have try this kernel, works good

General disclaimer:
Code:
I'm not going to jail if your phone gets vanished due to this bla bla bla.
This is a dev-only thread so please do not spam and no, you cannot download any flashable kernel from this thread.
This thread doesn't provide any of them super-cool features which make your phone go so fast that it's hard for you to catch like the other kernels. This thread just provides the kernel sources for device in-sync with the latest CAF stable branches.
You can find the sources here.
I'll keep these sources updated and in case you guys see any bugs, feel free to send me PRs.
Q. Does this support Yu Yureka?
A. No, I made this thread in this forum just to hype people and make myself look like a complete idiot
Q. Does this support Yu yuphoria?
A. No. There are defconfigs of lettuce present, yes but it's most likely not to boot because I didn't redo many input sensors according to the device. If someone has even little knowledge of how the kernel works, it isn't a hard fix. In case you guys want me to support lettuce too, send a PR with commits that I didn't include of them and proof of it working and if your code is sane, not kang and not messing with tomato, I'll accept the PR.
Q. Why this is important you ask?
A. Well newer kernel means, updated sources, new security fixes and patches in the kernel.
Q. Is cm kernel not CAF kernel?
A. This is a general mis-conception I saw with many people. CM based or any other based kernel will be CAF based if your device is QCOM. Codeaurora is where QCOM has all the kernel sources of your chipsets which are used by various OEMs. There is no such thing as non-caf kernel if your device is qcom based. These sources that I provide are just updated with latest fixes from caf upstream.
Q. Will you include the ultra super hyper hd superhd most coolest features which other kernels include and makes out phone fly?
A. No again. Flight mode is yet underwork. I hope to get another feature added with which you can change your phone to other phones just with a click.
Q. Thanks. ETA on next update?
A. Just let me bring a gun.
Q. Why does the thread have DEV tag?
A. I heard it attracts people. Doesn't it?
Q. Like my work?
A. Yeah, me too
Q. Can I use this in my ROM and not give you credits?
A. LOL ofcourse. As long as you follow the license and keep the kernel sources open, you are free to do whatever you want to do with this. Although, I would like if the sources you posted were through a git client with proper commit history instead of zip/tar ball.
Q. You suck and this thread looks ugly with those colorful stuff and hd images!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A. Ikr.

IMPORTANT : This kernel might boot with your cm 12.1 and ROMs based on it directly but its never recommended to go that way. You might/will face random reboots, possible lags and may not even boot at all. It's always recommended to update your HALs too if you want this to work properly. Incase you give me kernel message, logs with older HALs, I'm not even gonna reply.
I tried building directly slim with this kernel which uses HALs from CM and it resulted in random reboots. I updated the HALs to latest ones from code aurora git and it was all good. I also did an AOSP build with latest sources directly from CAF and it was pretty fast *in my experience*.
