Like, kernels that support Android 4.3. The CyanogenMod kernel is fine but I'd really like some more options with governors...is there anyone working on or willing to start working on a custom kernel for the Xperia T that supports Android 4.3?
Hi all,
I saw in this thread that a team is developing MIUI V5 for stock kernel on Xperia S.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463579
Any developer able to do the same on XSP ?
Thanks for your efforts.

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

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"

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

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.
hi . i need kernel for overclock xperia z in stock lollipop
Kernel source isn't released for 10.6.A.0.454 yet, so nobody can build a kernel with support for overclocking.

Hey guys plz complie a custom kernel for our mi5 and make it more battery efficient and super performance device plz complile best kernel like
Franco Kernel
ElementalX Kernel
Phasma Kernel
Jolla Kernel
Dimfish Kernel
As all of us knw that kernel sources have been released so plz humble request thnx
Hi,
As much as I'd like to see a custom kernel, I am under the impression that I will have to wait for a long time for it to happen.
It seems the sources Xiaomi released can't be used out of the box and need a lot of work already.
So that would take some devs to pay attention to the Xiaomi mi5.
And with Nougat released, a bunch of them are already working on that... not on a MM device
So no... probably won't happen soon
