Well the 10 post rule is just like an adaptation period, so that the new members understand what's going on here and how things work, without giving headaches to developers. I'd advise you and your friend to go to any general subforum section and simply help people having trouble, instead of opening threads begging for posts and thanks. 10 posts isn't much.. I make around 50-70 a day without getting into the developer sections. Now if you follow what most n00bs do and start rant threads or posts like "this is my 8th post. Please ignore I'm trying to raise my post count to post into development", your posts will be deleted, your post count will fall again and any thanks you got for those posts will be lost. That's the way it works. Read the rules

[Q][DEVS] Kernel Compilation Question | SOLVED

I am compiling Black_kt_kr_defconfig and fixed all the problems for compiling.
I just need to know whether the "warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]" is fatal in booting a phone. Is there anyways it will affect the phone? if so, how to fix>?

I still in the end, compiled.

If you got Error, compiler will stop. Warning still fine, it doesn't really affect.. So, where's your "picture post error"? This question is remaining unanswered yet, but no next progress of yours?

So, Nicholas Chen, my question, did you really studied to develop ROM/Kernel from your last apologize until now? Why I didn't see your progress yet? I mean positive progress.. Does this is what you're talking about overclocking?

See those picture at Kernel Info, I've done that in April 2012. I've tried many ways to get it working stable, but it doesn't works. If you're still really want to do it and take the risk burning your phone, then you should really study hard and make your progress more than now, not just babbling again and forth...

I'll explain the warning your getting
Consider this sample application I wrote
Code:
//Test Application
int main()
{
//Declare random variables
long *a;
int *b;
//Force Warning
b = a;
/*Directly going
int *b = a
gives initialization instead of assignment
warning , but I spread it out for clarity*/
//Exit Gracefully
return 0;
}
Your confusing pointer or types. (Or at least the compiler thinks your are)
Since a pointer is a a pointer to a memory location theres nothing wrong with setting one pointer to another regardless of type. The compiler flags this as a warning since this is often a mistake on the programmers side. (Usually from a complicated typecast). It can also be intentional if your working with pointer arithmetic hence it being a warning not a error.
You can get rid of the warning by just typecasting the problematic expression to (void*) or by telling the compiler to ignore that warning, but thats like putting a sticker over your check engine light. Leave it as it is, it's not hurting nobody. I think it's left there to tell people working on the kernel so that can be aware of it and not make a careless mistake regarding pointer arithmetic.

Since mostly answered to your question, there is only few ways you can successfully release your kernel.
1. Be honest
2. Drop the "credits: me". You want to look good? Collaborate and listen...
*members who compile kernels or ROMs, they research what to add. Then you "git clone" their work and credit yourself?
3. Show the commits/changes
4. Who's ryuusei? If you didn't actually build this, that's irresponsibility. And you can't release something in Development section you didn't make or no part of.
5. Release something of worth value.
*Don't "Release1: Stock, Release2:added govs".
And finally... Don't claim you have "Google Nexus 4 Test Model". Unless you can prove it, it makes you more annoying and unbelievable.
I don't know what's on your mind, but it seems whenever you post, you want the "WOW" factor. That you start inventing stories to sell. Loose the fairy tale books you have, and start being a man. Age is not an excuse, BPaul is just as young as you are...

Guys, you all can cool down again.
I just approved a preview of the OP post about the kernel he's going to post - no credits taken by him and also contains proper credits and links to the sources - a OP post like it should be.
Also, I would rather like to see you guys helping him instead of keeping on hating. Given proper guidance he will, hopefully, learn and improve along the way. It's clear he yet has a lot to learn about programming and software development.
We gave him the chance to improve, so maybe rejoice and help him to get it to good use.

Good idea. Without him having at least basic knowledge it's a wee bit hard to help him very far, but taking that effort is entirely up to him. Not much we can do other than to recommend books to read to get the required knowledge.

True, AOSP 4.2 hasn't been pushed into any repo yet.
I don't think we should care about things he does outside of XDA - not of our concern. Let us focus on what he does here. If he would post a Android 4.2 ROM here and claim it's been compiled from source (at this point of time) you can be sure that I would be the first one to ask him "Show us your sources or it didn't happen".
For now he decided to give the kernel he was working on a try, and subsequent release. Let us deal with the matters as they come up.

I couldn't agree with you more Oly. I have posted my feelings in both the DS OT threads and hope that they are read by our moderators, even if nothing changes.
This is the worst thing I have known XDA to do yet. The moderators constantly refuse to do anything about the newbies who refuse point-blank to bother searching and then get all upset and aggravated when you tell them to do so, yet they decide to close threads which serve a very useful and valuable purpose on XDA. Putting device-specific threads in the general OT forum just means more chaos - if every device has an OT thread here and they are used regularly then the other OT threads will get hidden 8 pages down the list.
I cannot see a single valid justification for this decision and have just about lost all the respect I once had for the forum moderators.

Your logic is spot on. I'm very disappointed in XDA's decision. There really was no need.
I completely see where you are coming from, the OT forum will now have so many device sub threads everywhere, so other OT threads will be buried... Regular OT members will also be affected by this, with all those extra threads.
Can't express my disappointment enough...
I'm sure a few DS people won't come along, the ones who've already left (enigmaamit etc)

Hi @limjh16 and thanks for this thread
I've added a link to this thread in my signature. The same way I did about @noc.jfcbs's new [HOW TO] [Q&A] How to best phrase a request to receive the most suitable answer?.
By the way, I really think you @noc.jfcbs should be added as a supporter of this [HELP THREAD][i9300][i9305] Ask any Question. Noob friendly. I'm sure you should be helpful. :good:

@noc.jfcbs I think you should be added as well. I'll also put a link to this in my sig as we have very little people here but a lot of newcomers need this thread

Done! Now we need to do some minor advertisement whenever someone asks a very general question, not exactly belonging to a ROM thread

Hey everybody, can anyone tell me what the heck is wrong with the xda forums lately? There are multiple things going wrong and some functions of the site dont work at all?
For example:
- Clicking on notifications in the top right corner doesnt open the received notifications, instead it opens this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/usercp.php
- Cant expand the names in a post to see who gave thanks, again opens a different page
- Options like attachments, smileys and all other options when writing a comment dont work (their not clickable)
Maybe there are more, but these are the ones i came across till now. Anyone having same behavior? or maybe it's just my laptop thats tripping... In any case its very much frustrating!

Hi my friend,
In my case, no such problems until today but I will check again on my laptop this evening.
What do you mean by lately exactly? In my case 1 or 2 hours ago, it was fine.

Everything Is Working Fine, Double Click On The Notifications Menu Will Show usercp.php Instead Of That Menu, The Fix Is To Click Just One Time, I Don't Know About The Others...
But You Can Try Between These Different Solutions :
Uninstall And Re-Install Your Current Browser.
Or Use The Old XDA Layout.
Or If It Always Failing, Try Using Google DNS.

About a months ago, I reported xda forum issues but never received a reply. If interested check here and here.
Normally, I don't use my GT-I9305 for visiting xda. However, due to your post I checked the xda functionalities by using the Gello browser that came with my ROM.
Everything is working as expected and normally except that the [view] button is missing to expand the thanks row to see who gave thanks.
For the still existing issues with xda on my laptop, please refer to the first link above.

im still working on it, i cut&paste and edit because im lazy....you know this about me
the editor can be a bit of a pain when editing links....
ooh, brings me to a new top tip:
its always best to let any new post with links i make *settle* for a good half hour before clicking on them
Im a slow poster/ editor.
Plus sometimes my mind is just *resting*
finished...should be fine now....

Well since no one else is going to post a cat photo....on xmas caturday....

No!... You can't mention guitars!... Maybe he forgot, but he meant "Just DO NOT, and i cant stress this enough, post here about (speedup, tweaks, battery saving) apps/settings or plain conspiracy level nonsense about an apps recievers/trackers and "big brother" stuff, OR GUITARS!... I just sold my SVR signature Strat, it's way too raw and triggers me more than the subject of battery-saving tweeks!... Cats, bears, anything but Guitars!"
Just thought I'd better save the OP from having a coronary (or from himself) by making this critical addendum for him...

Please do yourself a favour mate, and put a few more words in the OP cos clearly you haven't enumerated nearly enough potential annoyances/triggers... And I can't keep doing your job and preserving your default setting... But here's something that might help:

SRV, right? Is it a 1963 Stratocaster with a Schecter maple neck (sporting a Fender decal on the headstock) and a salacious girly sticker on the back of the body?
Or, https://www.fender.com/en-US/electr...vie-ray-vaughan-stratocaster/0109200800.html?

No, that would be the Fender SRV Signature Stratocaster at the link you posted, with the proper Fender maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, and no stickers anywhere on it...
Though mine did come with Klein Epic '63 pickups in it (highly recommend his pickups to any guitarists on here), in place of the stock Fender Texas Specials
Thankfully i didnt pay the full sticker price of AUD$3,350

Also, all of my shareable modules are now up folks

Which links are down?, none...tested all just now. Theyre on github.....if that goes down its a rare event, and no, i wont be hosting anywhere else, theres arguably no place more reliable, and they wont get "lost" there.

I know you werent trying to be a ****, but i very correctly pointed out that its a your end issue, as no one else has ever contacted me about not being able to reach github. Again, if you cant resolve github.com, you have a issues at your end, maybe check your DNS settings. Maybe try cloudflare 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
And not angry at the world, im very direct, im busy, and i directly answered all your questions, with the least amount of waffle possible.

Thanks for confirming folks its a resolver/proxy issue
I did the following before i answered the earlier post:
changed my DNS to (in rotation: cloudflare/google/ISP)
ipconfig /flushdns each time
could not reproduce
retested just now, same same...works for me, and no issues reported on https://www.githubstatus.com/
VERY rare event to have an issue with github
if you can reach the other github links but not that one, then its a github issue, and i'll ask them to look into it (done)
if you cant resolve ANY of the links, thats a your PC issue, and you should try flushing the DNS cache
On windows for example:
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
disabling any proxy (even setting automatic to none) in your browser
or the ultimate (on windows)
a tcp reset:
Code:
netsh int ip reset
followed by a reboot
* Note: if people be trying this on mobile and having issues, where captive proxying and DNS has never caused issues (eye roll and large slice of sarcasm intended), then use a proper PC.....
