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"

build guide has been updated for easy reading

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

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

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.
Hello guys
My question is base if there are any sources to our tree available?
I been digging around for it so i can build a rom or few but no luck yet.
I got this kernel source but want to make sure it actually is our kernel https://github.com/lg-devs/android_kernel_lge_msm8992
Thanks
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.

This is not my Rom but it does look like an official build, it is 4.4.3 which may have problems with newer firmware , I have gotten bootloops but I am having problems with my m7spr and will be downgrading to try this and attempt to use Rom
Official miui v7 for m7spr

I guess this only shows on the Chinese website? [I looked on en.miui.com] Is it still KK based?
Are we not better off following STRYDER~007's guide and building on a LP AOSP base if so?

Its 4.4.4 and it would be better to build from source , as I have damaged my m7spr and switched back to the nexus 7 grouper ,I can not build or make this ROM without testing , I have only had problems with boot.IMG but it is pretty easy ,as of now there should be a 6.0 source I have seen it was ported to a new device
I'd be all for giving it a go. I think that sticking to 5.1.1 for now would make the most sense, 6.0 isn't anywhere near ready to daily at this point. - I could give the @STRYDER~007 method a go, but I'm not aware of any non CM bases. I don't have the room to compile from https://android.googlesource.com/ and I don't know of a "clean" AOSP ROM. Any suggestions there?
...I may give CM12 a try, it just seems that leaving as little room for error as possible would be ideal.
Hi
I am trying to port omnirom to my new phone as above.
So far I have repo'd the omnirom sources
populated device using oppo_find7 as a base
Changed all references to oppo/find7 to wileyfox/kipper
When launching the build it errors looking for msm8974-common.mk.
After further research it appears that the device uses qualcomm 601 chip which is msm8939. Unfortunately there does not seem to be anything in the omni repos matching so would one of these be safe
CyanogenMod/android_device_cyanogen_msm8939-common/tree/cm-13.0
or
oppo-dev/android_device_oppo_msm8939-common
thanks
try this guide.

i just found out about it, BTW i am also trying to port omnirom for oneplus2. can't seem to find a proper guide for omniROM. no issues with cm based ROMs.
