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?

it works perfectly on aosp and derivates

broadcom wifi is now merged in kernel
crash has been fixed
broadcom wifi crash fixed
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

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.
So I've started learning how to build a kernel given the source code, but I was wondering- since I got the Android 5.1 OTA will I be able to use the 5.0.2 kernel source for now to test on 5.1 until the source for 5.1 is on github? Or is this a bad idea that I should not even consider?
I have no idea. I think if you look up faux123 on Google+ he'll answer it for ya....?
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?
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.
Hi, I just got my hand on the Galaxy Note 8, I immediately tried to root and compile a custom kernel for it, I'm running Android 9 latest version and used the latest kernel source code on Samsung OSRC but for some reason, the camera refuses to work if I use my custom kernel.
I built my custom kernel simply by unpacking the stock firmware boot.img, replaced the zImage and put it back together.
After a while of investigating and tried to use custom kernel built by other people, I realize that they replaced the camera firmware in /system/vendor/firmware/ with the files fimc_is_lib.bin fimc_is_rta_imx333_3h1.bin fimc_is_rta_2l2_3h1.bin fimc_is_rta_imx333_imx320.bin fimc_is_rta_2l2_imx320.bin and the camera was functioning with their kernel but somehow I still unsuccessful on getting my OSRC kernel with a camera working on this phone with their firmware files.
I've searched all over the internet and there doesn't seem to be any thread talking about such issue so I'm currently in a dead end
So anyone knows what's going on with the camera firmware of this phone, please let me know.
Thanks.
