Hi!
We can fix a lot of Galaxy S Advance I9070 bugs like poor battery life or low audio quality and much much more, but only with your help.
These bugs are caused by OS kernel which is not up-to-date with stock ROM’s and Samsung is refusing to update it. Our previous requests have been ignored by them, and the point is that Samsung have to update it, they are just forced by law and licensing terms of Linux, however they just don’t want to do this because of some unknown reason.
We think that the only way to get an updated source code is to… Show the power of our community and spam them with request messages. That’s the only way to fix A LOT of S Advance bugs still present. S3 Mini community have done this before with a great success, so we can do this too!
It’s a nasty way, but it’s the only thing we can do as a community, because our previous requests had been ignored.
We’d be very pleased if you want to help us. It’s easy, just send them the message provided below:
Contact form: HERE
Inquiry type: Request for Source Codes
Sample message:
I’d like to request the most recent Linux kernel source code for Galaxy S Advance I9070. Source code already available on Samsung Opensource is very outdated and not up-to-date with Samsung internal source code, which can be proved.
According to GNU GPL license you are obliged to publish any source code you had changed in Linux kernel, and you are violating law by not publishing it.
Please, stop pretending that current kernel is up-to-date and just update it. Community have had enough waiting for you to even answer to our requests.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for sharing it here..I emailed them the moment I saw it on New Maclaw's site and it's quite amazing they suceeded in receving new kernel Sources..but I personally think this post needs to be in a more relevant thread, where MORE People can see this...
Gr8 news!!!!

Our phone came with Gingerbread, and when the Jellybean update came, that source you linked was the only thing dropped (because it's GPL), which is the current source code we are using for all the kernels available, including CM11 and CoCore.
I think the only time where the older one was used, was when Shaaan tried to port CM 7.2.
Erm, most of what we don't have it's the modem/RIL, that are not ST-Ericsson but Samsung. Unless Sammy has the 3.4 kernel hidden somewhere (very unlikely), anything that is released from now on, it's pretty minor.

Let me start off by saying I am not a dev. I just thought this tool may be useful to those that are.
It compiles, decompiles, and builds source code. The thing that caught my eye is in the list of supported devices for decompile it said
"Currently supports : Any Device and any Android version."
Maybe hoping to decompile source from honeycomb is being a little optimistic but It may still help.
Link with documentation explaining what it is

Yeah, but the OP is asking potential users to subscribe to it's use @$5 a month.
Oh I must have missed that...good catch

Hi there,
I'm looking for the source code of Corn Kernel, especially the version 7.0A.
I already tried to compile the kernel from Samsung with no success.
If by any chance the author can share his code this would be great for me.
Thanks
Might want to check with mtcarey here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477
I don't believe they have enough posts to post in the development section, if I remember right it has to be 10
Oops, on the app didn't see post count. Could prolly send mtcarey a pm

Refer here. MtCarey explains how to compile KK4.
Actually according to GNU/GPL licencing, all source code must be made available to the public for anything built on or modified from software built with that licence and the licence must carry over.
basically if you build it from a GPL licenced source, you must provide your source for your changes/additions.
But im sure if you send the dev of the kernel in question, he would be happy to abide. (by xda rules he should).
sometimes with modifying kernels/roms of leak versions, and software for which source has not been provided to us, we are able to change 90% less, and are breaking GPL, but we dont really have a choice in the matter. well... we could just not mod it.. LOL.

he says in that, that there is much more to tweak to get it proper, but those are the 2 main things missing to get it to boot. not exactly a how-to compile guide.
Hi Guys,
In response to the quote below, I already tried to compile other kernel with some success. I managed to do that with HTC kernel by following the instructions. The explanation MtCarey gave is more like a hint or some info. Even though the info might be good enough for experienced kernel developer, I'm still not experienced enough.
All I'm asking weather the full source code with minimum modification can be contributed to the public so we all can have the benefit of it.
And of course! many thanks for MtCarey if he's willing to do that.

did you PM him? the un-modified stock kernel or unmodified corn kernel??...
and if you arent that experienced with it... why?? learning?? most of the kernel devs hang out in irc and talk and help kernel developing.. go make some friends.
Where can I get the information how to get to the irc?

I'm not a developer and i've just arrived into the LG world with the new LG L4-II, a slightly smaller and cheaper version of the L5-II, but with exactly the same base hardware.
I have already rooted it using the tutorial here, available for the L5-II, but i've yet to see any ROM development for this new line of devices, so i decided to share a link with the community that shows that the full Source Code for these devices has already been released by LG.
I hope it will be useful for the developers, so that some day in the near future we see some custom Roms for these new devices.
https://www.lg.com/global/support/o...tegoryId=CAT00000001&osCategoryId=CAT00000002
Cheers to all.
Thank you about the link and the information. I do hope someone takes the second generation ( II ) of the L models seriously. Almost no one is working which makes most of us sad
Could you be so kind to give me a link to the rooting tutorial? And may be the steps you've followed? Because I want to root my phone too.
Thanks and cheers to all guys who share useful info and modded roms with us!
thanks for this man. it helps a lot
BL unlock needed!
This is kind of useless, untill we get bootloader unlock. I've managed to build recovery.img for MT6575 chipset with some tools and also flashed it to E440, but bootloader is blocking the recovery boot due to security reasons, but boots in normal mode(Android)... i can share recovery.img if someone need it.
Update: I have boot.img and bootloader image, too - everithing except /system and /data
Added: Ops... My bad. now I think it is kernel related security check, will take a look at the kernel source and try again. I'm not a DEV, just playing.

you will be king if you get this right. I am wanting to unlock my bootloader for the l5 II as well. if you get this right please share with us the method of how you do it.
Thanks this is very helpful, I wanted to start development anyway

Hello everyone, I'll start by introducing myself before presenting my questions and information that I think is necessary to recognize the situation. My name is Flavia. I'm a not very experienced and self-taught developer, I've never used xda and this is my first time doing a POST, I come here to ask for help for the developers, be it a beginner or an experiment, I've been trying to compile the kernel for Moto e5 (Nora) and I have had problems during compilation. I'm pretty sure it's due to lack of kernel drivers, camera drivers and f2fs format support, I can not say for sure, because I'm feeling a bit intimidated by this community, but based on the mistakes I can claim to be that. I would like you to help me solve the problems so we can evolve as a community and group.

Kernel already exists on Motorola Mobility Github, why do you need kernel? https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/oreo-8.0.0-release-nr
The only problem we have on Nora is the lack of Vendor files. Vendor takes alot of times since you have to type in every vendor file by file. Maybe when @CodyF86 releases the vendor files for Play, we will hopefully have it work on Nora. And with @MotoJunkie01 banned i don't think we will see any more progress since he actually works at Moto Mobility. Kinda sad that the people at XDA banned him..
Vivo has not releasing their kernel source code for their device. We need a top hacker to hack in their website and get their kernel source code. If the kernel source code does not stored in the web where did they store it?
Edit:Could somebody dismantle an vivo v11 and try to search for the kernel source code? I don't know if this will work or not but they suck I can't even root or unlock the bootloader I guess I will stuck with funtouch os/color os forever because I can't even root my oppo too ?
I've always avoid oppo and vivo because it always ended up like this.
Next time I will avoid VIVO phones like a plague. :crying: :crying: :crying: They make nice phones though but poor DEV support.
I only wish someone could find a way to root the phone successfully. I don't care about custom rom.
Root only for removing space junks for more ram space. A V11i Phone owner here. :crying: :crying:
I will spread the word to my friends.
(Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60) KERNEL (ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED)
Can someone look at this please? Any DEV or Someone as NOKIA released its KERNEL same with our chipset maybe there is still hope that our phone might have root or even twrp.
https://github.com/nokia-dev/android...l_nokia_mt6771
Please correct me if i am wrong for I am just optimistic about it.
for more sources you can look here:
https://github.com/nokia-dev
Edit:
Please forgive me for spamming the threads for hoping a DEV can see this and criticize if this is feasible.
