I'm looking to build the kernel from source for the hd+ but I can't find the actual official b&n source code. I see Fattire posted some source but not for the actual kernel.
Does anybody know where I can download official b&n kernel source code for the HD+ please?
Thanks for your help

If you look through verygreen's CM10 thread, I think he posted the source location somewhere in his thread.
Hi and thanks.
I went through the thread and all I can find is 2.0.0 not a recent one. I just want to build from source so I needed original kernel source and sgx source as per verygreens build instructions.
Anybody got an actual link to the source please?

Thanks for the great rom! Everything running great so far, except the fact that some games arent working I think that its due to bionic optimizations, cause when I flashed qualcomm optimized bionic libraries on my flo, everything was running great again.
Please look into this

Omni kernel? I thought, Carbon is based on Cyanogen ... please correct me if I'm wrong.
It is based on its own base built from AOSP, but there are two kinds of Boeffla kernels:
1.only for CM roms
2.Omni version, also working on majority of AOSP roms
Before flashing make a nandroid but it is working believe me

Thanks again. Omni Boeffla kernel working fine (tried CM one first and had to reflash Carbon then flash Omni)
Running smooth.. Nice rom.. A few problems though..
1. The settings button in the launcher menu will not work.
2. Trying to add another account for sync doesn't seem to be working.
Rest all seems to be good.

Hi,
I would like to build kernel based on novafusion github sources. I want to look at some btle and NFC stuff, so i wondered if anyone is building from there? And if so how do i get all sources cloned? I figured most things i would look at is kernel, so building that would be a perfect start. But eventually i would like to do complete builds.. So a full guide to getting the correct sources would be great
I am a newbie to building Android, have done it for my defy+ though.

Yeah, I am trying to get source from novafusion's github, but I have trouble figuring out how the Novafusion repo's are tied together and once kernel builds I will need to figure out the same for CM11 I think. I would have expected to get a manifest from one of their repo's but that does not seem to exist? (As noted I am a newbie to android and the repo tool, but I am no stranger to coding)
So I wondered if anyone have cloned and built the sources.. If so I would be gratefull for a guide to how I get a local build up and running.
P.s. I have not yet had time to try and put together a manifest myself - Or ask one of the novafusion guys to share theirs, but I thought there might be a general interest in this.. And I figured that there must be someone having it up and running.
NEXT RELEASE: 27 AUGUST 2014 GMT+8 0900
With the introduction of so many kernels in the forums, every user just wants his/her phone to enjoy the crisp experience of their device. With ASKP, you get to enjoy the brilliant works of all developers into one small kernel. ASKP, is a modified kernel that merges many tweaks together, just like P.A.C.
ASKP is only run by me and pattyboi for now. Please bear with the slow speed of updates. I'm working on 3.4 for the Galaxy Nexus and also for you guys at the same time.
I promised before, ALL ROMS WILL BE SUPPORTED. But when I say ASKP is fully released. For now, I'll be releasing slowly. So please bear with me.
Supporting Devices:
LG G2
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Variants of ASKP released for per-ROM basis statuses: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53569650&postcount=6
READ THIS FIRST
- There's always a name in each file right? The word at the end is the most important. And of course, make sure the model number is correct.
ONLY TWO WORDS ARE GIVEN FOR SIMPLICITY. STOCK and CAF.
- CAF kernels are for AOSP ROMs. A N/CAF (Non-CAF AOSP) Kernel will also be present upon full release of ASKP.
- ASKP has just started venturing into G2's development, please be patient if there is no support for your ROM yet.
- I am not responsible for any problems incurred on your device. This kernel is not fit to be a daily driver YET. Still in pre-alpha stage.
Changelog To Be Released after Alphas.

I also want to thank him for his own build script, without it, I couldn't have built kernels as fast as before.
If you'd like to donate to me, Please do so, It'll be used for creating a tracker and an FTP site.
So you're buying yourself a beer. Heheh.

Nice! And the important advice for You right now: You REALLY SHOULD write which ROMs do You support and which G2 variants.
There are some ROMs based on dr87 sources like SlimKat, and Mahdi ROM itself, there is CarbonROM and PA which use other sources.
Aaand there is CM which didn't even get updated to KK sources, lol.

@nimrodsv Go ahead and ask him.
Guys, once again. THIS IS NOT A COPY OF DORIMANX.
I only copied his RAMDisk with his permission. Without it, I wouldn't be able to boot on the majority of ROMs.
The kernel source itself will be different from his indefinitely.
Wow, I am so lucky ☺
I will test it and let you know how is it. Thanks for replying.

Please read up guides on what comes with a ramdisk and a zImage itself. A boot.img is made from a ramdisk and a zImage. Even though the STweaks app exists, it doesn't mean everything works. I don't have Intelli features inside. so use your eyes please. I'm trying to be kind and patient.

You guys misunderstood me, meh. I didn't even say anything about the THREAD. It's the first one. The second one is, I just report to the dev what I see, I didn't say that it's a steal or anything, I just said that situation like that exists. Because i saw that there's everything like in dorimanx kernel, than maybe something went wrong with making the kernel.
Oh and about Intelli features, i see there are Intellidemand/Intelliactive govs, EcoMode, Intelli HotPlug, I REPORT it, REPORT, not ACCUSE.
Dang i hate misunderstandings. I appreciate every work and never want to make someone stop his work. Duh.
If dorimanx allowed to share everything with features he added like this now, then it's alright, I just reported in case he didn't allow it and You wouldn't see that or something.
So @Amperific keep going and sorry that u understood me wrong
Finally. We need more kernel devs. Thanks for joining the party!

Here is my build of LineageOS 13.0 for the Galaxy S4 LTE A. It is based on the pure LineageOS code unless indicated otherwise.
* IMPORTANT *
Please note that these builds are based on nothing else than the unchanged official code from LineageOS. So every credit goes to the ones providing the code.
I will not and cannot make any changes to the code. The only thing I can do and will do is build the ROM.
Also, it should be understood that I take no responsibilities whatsoever if anything goes wrong when you install the ROM. Like any custom ROM this is completely at your own risk!
However, you can expect that any ROM I share has been installed on my own GT-I9506 (starting with the latest official Samsung firmware 5.0.1) and runs without obvious issues. Your mileage may vary.
https://www.mediafire.com/?c8q4lqh675hc97b,7dhley6dl6j9dnb

I flashed the latest official Samsung firmware to prepare for LineageOS 13.0
I'm trying to build the latest version, which does build without error, but upon booting gets stuck at starting the apps, i.e. just before showing the lock screen. The latest working build was from January 5th 2017 and I experienced the error first on a build of January 8th 2017. So I suspect the commit in question is one from January 6-8.
Before I'm forced to manually investigate commit-by-commit from the latest working version, does anyone know what has changed that causes this error? I was not able to get any output from adb logcat either, so I have no idea what went wrong... which is rather frustrating.
What device tree and kernel did you use?
DualJoe said:

The same as the working previous build: LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_ks01lte & LineageOS/android_device_samsung_ks01lte. As far as I can see nothing in the kernel or device tree has changed, thus it must be some incompatibility with the rest of the LineageOS code.
I just tried another build just an hour ago, same result: stuck at the final starting apps (before the vibration). I also tried reverting to a working state of the source (of January 5) by using "repo forall -c 'git checkout `git rev-list --all -n1 --before=", but that one didn't even build.
I would appreciate any help here. It's not like there were some exhaustive documentation about how to build LineageOS. And anyway, apparently building is not the issue here.

Well, solk2 started to push changes on his kernel's repo days ago, even on cm-14.1 branch.
Anyway, I think is just a matter of time. We'll get official builds sooner or later.

It looks like a waste of time and work, doesn't it? There is no point in having 3 or more different builds with no particular differences. Devs might want to join the official repos instead and make their changes there.

You are absolutely right. I dont know, maybe they have reasons not to join the LineageOS team, but when I got my S4 I was rather confused with all this different versions. I mean for many devices you get unofficial builds with extra features/improvements, but for the I9506 its hard to tell the differences. However at the moment I would say the build by gugu0das is the best, but it looks like he is not going to update it anymore. So yes, it would be great to have all those talented developers out there working on the same repos.

I believe this is some sick "if you don't figure it out yourself, you're not supposed to know how to do it" attitude of some (most?) developers. Or another symptom of "not invented here" syndrome.
If LineageOS official builds are available I will surely not waste time to build it myself, but in the meantime I would like to be up-to-date. So still, anyone pointing me to information how to do it is very welcome.

Well, solk2 started to push changes on his kernel's repo days ago, even on cm-14.1 branch.
Anyway, I think is just a matter of time. We'll get official builds sooner or later.
I just don't understand why solk2, kyasu, and possibly gugu0das and others don't collaborate all together to only one kernel/device for this phone

I think the same of you. It could be better for all of us to make a ROM with the best of their ROMs.

What do you think? That I do not share what I do? I have provided a ROM for i9506 based on cyanogenmod 11.0 for a long, long time, as well as one for Nexus 7. And I have always made clear from where the sources for those builds came. Perfect transparency, don't you think?
It is because of disrespectful people like you that developers (and people like me, because I am not a developer) stop sharing!

If my comment has offended you, I apologize. My comment doesn't want to disparage anyone. And I recognize the effort of the developers because, although I am not, I know how difficult it must be to develop a ROM.

I also create content in Htcmania and always share and show the sources. I only would want to say that sometimes, when finding so many ROMs based on CM, it can be difficult to decide for one or the other, since the changes between them are very subtle.

Maintaining/creating roms is usually the way people learn Linux, Android, compiling, git and such. That's why there are so many one-man projects. Once they are into it most vanish again/go over to other stuff though. Only few people keep over long time like Temasek. In the end there can't be enough roms. More options are always better than none. As long as people are posting the source code for other people to pick up they do work together already.
