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

both
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"
Br
J
build guide has been updated for easy reading
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...evices/how-to-build-and-flash-a-linux-kernel/
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
br
J
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
br

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.

Yes i am sure. It's a developer working on xiaomi who made it. Here is the android 5.1 from him http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/android-5-1-ivan-t3056153 and here is 4.4.4 http://en.miui.com/thread-44424-1-1.html
Ivan has a privat source. Not official.
These are the ones with official sources.
Try Bitti09's CM12:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t3036066
(Link in thread posts)
Or audahadi's Temasek builds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/temasek-unofficial-cm12-t3012588
I should warn you, the official kernels are VERY unstable as of now, and the Devs are working on them as we speak...Expect a LOT of bugs.
(Wifi not working, bootloops, reboots, battery drain, pretty much everything is a WIP at this stage...)

Thanks for the links, 5.1 is not having official kernel and the 4.4.4 build is of Sept. 2014.... I did not find latest build.

Do you think it could be some old kernel sources? May be MIUI uses some other kernel sources?
Or it is possible that MIUI devs did the same work as our dev do right now - fixing bugs in kernel sources?
I'm just trying to understang how it works
If MIUI have no bugs so either it basd on different kernel sources or MIUI devs already fixed all kernel sources bugs but not within branch released and within MIUI code instead.
PS: Sorry, I'm C# dev, not firmware dev, so have no clue how those things works :silly:
In case you are not aware, here are the kernel sources for the Huawei P8lite. This means that you can now build CyanogenMod or custom kernels for this phone.
Downloads
ALE-L02/ALE-L21/ALE-L23
ALE-L04 (Old 4.4.4 Source)
After seeing the interest for CyanogenMod or a similar AOSP ROM, there is a guide here that shows you how to port CM to a new device. Unfortunately, I can't do it because I don't own the device but if you try, best of luck
If dd98 agrees, i would use this thread to discuss and collect info about how to compile an armv8a kernel for our phone.
By the way, if i run this command in the phone console:
uname -a
It says our stock kernel is for armv7l. Is it normal?
Has anybody already tried to compile from source? Any success?
Any further development on this?
@dd98 I have device and willing to port can you guide on how to do this?
I'm going to try enable USB OTG for B170 for ALE-L21.
Oh.. This is and old thread..
There are already some developers busy with development of custom roms for the Huawei P8 Lite.
There kernel and the source can already been build for android 5 and android 6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/kernel-boot-stock-android-6-0-t3344841
Cyanogenmod is for the moment a problem because of good vendor files.
For now only wifi is working on AOSP builds, as long that there is no RIL ( calling ) you can't do anything with the Custom rom.
I'm personally have buid a bootable rom with Omnirom.
Source for that rom you can find here : https://github.com/olrak2/android_device_huawei_alice/
Somebody tried enable usb otg?
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/+/android-6.0.0_r0.6
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/+/android-mediatek-sprout-3.10-marshmallow
So Marshmallow kernel sources have been released. I expect that developers will be able to compile custom ROMs and kernels based on these.

Thank you for this ROM, I was waiting for it for 5 years
Aren't you the first person to port 6.0 for Xperia Z?
@up For yuga? Yes. But for pollux qsnc started to doing something with it. But it's first nearly stable 6.0 rom for fusion3 platform
And what about download links?
Yay! It's a shame that i've got only one Xperia Z
@UP
Download tab.
Morning surprise for me! Thank you Kamarush!

Do a factory reset. I've saw that you have problem with 5.1 too, maybe you have changed partition file formats. Easily, flash stock from flashtool and then fastboot every file of this or 5.1 rom.
Can somebody send me a link to download?

@kamarush If selinux cause so many problems, it cannot be disabled (permissive)? I think it'll help in fixing things

Hi, may I ask where I can find your kernel source for m build?
NFC fixed.
It was commented out.... Found this in source:
Code:
# !!! Intentionally commented out, we'll stop building
# the NXP stack in M, code will be removed in the
# next release.
# include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
# !!!
Thank you Google
So, incall audio and camera remains.
How to install gapps or recovery?
Thanks!

I think it's completely unneeded. This is an alpha release. When i fix the incall audio, i'll push it to Beta and both will be included.
I'm waiting for beta then! And i can't wait for it

Hi
For this is from CM, with flo's adreno sources. You can find on github.
Can anyone upload the AOSP device tree for sprout to compile AOSP based ROM?
I'd like to build a proper Chroma ROM (the one currently built doesn't have supersu built in, no bootanimation, etc)
I cannot seem to build with CM's device tree, I've been messing with it all around to no avail
Thanks.

I hope this discussion help you have a look at it. And this too http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29077612/build-aosp-rom-with-cyanogenmod-device-files
Thanks, I finally figured out everything, AOSP doesn't do inline kernel building like CM so I need to make sure Android.mk exists on the kernel folder. That exactly what my problem is.
Happy to help...i hope we see numbsr of quality aosp builds from you.Aosp roms on this device has been a bit buggy uptill now.Best luck buddy.
