Agree 100%

You are willing to put the effort into this. It may be good, it may not. I am willing to see it through. No software development project I have ever done has been certain. I have spent many hundreds of hours, and sometimes thousands of dollars employing others, on projects that may or may not work. Some paid off, and I keep going on the strength of that.

This is not even a commercial venture! I would not expect someone to buy a Note on the off-chance that the project will gain enough support to get that cash back. If you want a commercial product you pay on results. For an open source 'gift' to the community, I am more than willing to support an valiant effort to give us a kernel we can all benefit from. The Samsung one is just pants.

Just discussing with may very good friend (and son) here, and this type of community-funded effort just was not possible twenty years ago. I love the fact that it is now, and am more than willing to take a small chance on it! :)

Sorry, rambling a bit, but the bottle of wine is getting low.....:p

so true my friend. but this will work! 100% xplodwild has within a week made insane progress with the sgs2 kernel and for the note he will do it as well, this will make the future for our phones which we pay for so expensive really good for future updates and releases. even make it easier and better for development. thank you for your help and support my friend!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Thank you for your valuable support my friend, also updated 2nd post! we are well on our way to make an awesome future for the note! thank you

since i dont hold the credit card(i hate the credit card)...i have transferred the amount to @androindian account and he will sending the amount to you...anyway i have attached the amount transferd receipt..

MY contribution to this project is 45.45 euros...

Keep up the good work!:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Thanks a lot mate! just transferred to the dev right now. updated on 2nd post :) Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ranjan.alva:
AWESOME... this is what we were waiting since long time.. i appreciate developer and the one who created this thread. nice work androidindian. as of now am struggling to make Paypal payment coz my card is not accepted. anyway ll try in other way to donate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jay_993:
the thing is if this works out, im pretty much guessing that our notes and SGS2s will be the next HD2s and has all the rights to be. These exynos powered devices are definitely strong enough to be future proof with them kernels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Now that would be excellent news.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Works fine for me... However I've seen a few cases of recoveries with SERIOUSLY broken fstabs lying around - pointing boot to mmcblk0p2 instead of p5 = hardbrick city.

I've honestly never done an initramfs repack myself, just source builds. I'd do some searching, and look at my initramfs commit histories for my GS2 ICS kernel and at CF-Root for inspiration.

Of course, that assumes there is even any difference in the kernel - In many cases very little changes in the kernel or initramfs when firmware changes. The main exceptions I can think of are:

Mid-November 2011 - Samsung changed the wifi configuration structure a little bit, requiring initramfs changes in kernels (GalaxyS2)

Mid-November 2011 - Samsung made a kernel change that was required for Bluetooth HID to work on newer firmwares (GalaxyS2)

Both of the above two kernel changes were backwards-compatible with older /system images

Early March 2011 - Shortly before releasing ICS for the GS2, Samsung made a change to some of the gralloc/EGL libraries - Kernels based on their source drop won't boot older ICS leaks. So far it seems like the Note leaks use the old gralloc and EGL libs. I had to swap in the GS2 libs for the Note to boot CM9 on an open-source kernel.

I'm going to try and apply these tricks to a Touchwizz ICS firmware soon.

I don't really have any kernel guides, other than the README for most of my kernels (keep forgetting to update the GS2 ICS one) and the "git tips" from my sig - and of course my git commit history. Unlike some kernel developers that put almost no information in their commit logs, I try to fully document each change I make including WHY I made it (especially for reverts - it's always good to know WHY someone reverted something.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Edit: Right now, I would not trust CWM repacked into any ICS leak. Previously I thought it was badly packed CWM, but the recent rash of hardbricks that happened when SiyahKernel for I9100 rebased on the Korean SHW-M250* sources indicates that some ICS kernels may have some SERIOUS bugs. At this point I wouldn't trust anything not built off of the I9100 update4 base.

Later this week I'm going to try and get a source-built kernel for the Note out using the I9100 update4 base.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I always thought gnote's development was not as mature as s2 and gnexus (they are older than gnote, I know) but considering all godsend devs are moving to gnote - future is bright :)

Did you ask imilka tp quit his cm9 development?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
why would he ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
Facepalm

Read couple of last posts in cm9 thread and you will get your answer!!

SHOT FROM A LOADED GT - N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lcmazza:
What I know is that Imilka's CM9 port is running great on my Note and now we don't have updates and the thread is closed with no better info than having to loop and find this thread with apparently a great project which is not working right now and maybe for some time from now. Is this the answer? We got screwed and won't have more updates that were working pretty fine before?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Teamhacksung will be releasing the official cm9 very soon my friend

Entropy and xplodwild are already working on the kernel and device tree ... as soon as its rock stable they will release cm9 too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
No... I do hope we can set it up so he can contribute to our repo soon, but I have no problem with him continuing his work in the interim.

I was not expecting him to close his thread, nor did I request it.

Going to PM him to see what's going on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
I pmed earlier and no reply yet. I can't believe he not only closed cm9 but his aosp thread as well..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
he was never planning to release cm9 .. he had made it for his own love.. but i had encouraged him to release his cm9 some weeks back. maybe he took it down coz of that.

but not sure why he took down aosp :O trying to ask him ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Smoothface:
I think it may be due to small and large frustrations caused by the forum and his work done over the last few months. Even though he gave permission to many to use his builds as a base (and some without) it starts to wear on anyone a bit. Especially since another cm was started after he posted his.

This is just my own theory, but I do not blame him if he feels this way. It is tough to work so hard on something just to have others come in and take credit or work separately on the same thing. I really do hope he comes back, because it is devs of his caliber that make the community for a phone worth while.

P.S. I do not blame the official CM for it (unbelievably happy to see you guys here especially entropy,loved your kernals on the at&t gs2), just chiming in sorry about the OT.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
Having fun disrespecting a dev???

Be greatfull for what you had and have till now on your Note!

And wait for more awesomeness ahead..

SHOT FROM A LOADED GT - N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beretta93:
Ok thanks for the reply. I was just anxious that imilka wouldn't be properly considered since he's been the first real dev releasing for our baby (even though it's not my business...)

Looking forward to testing cm9's flavour when it's out. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beretta93:
I have read the whole thread, I was on cm9 since its first release. How can you be sure that one didn't close his thread by private request when there are no details given on the last post? What's more, he discontinued both of his cm9/aokp builds so it's normal to wonder.

Anyway it was a question not an aggression. You may also fart from time to time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
Dude, chill, what's with all the aggression ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
hey guys, relax.

lets not talk about imilka here. we have already discussed about him in the other thread.

and i spoke to imilka, and he doesnt wanna continue with aosp or cm for his own reasons. but he might do something else soon.

please post questions or opinions on this thread regarding the topic it has opened for. :) Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
Lol thats a nice expression!!

No aggression mate!!

Just being thankful for what we have rather that what we lost!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Well, I booted Criskelo on a custom kernel last night. Sources are pushed to my github (well, initramfs is still pushing), it's from the same tree as my I777 Touchwizz kernel.

It's a bit more difficult to install than most kernels - the leaks are using old EGL and gralloc libs that won't boot with opensource kernels. Good news is that the libs from I9100 official releases will work - the files in https://github.com/koush/proprietar.../ics/galaxys2-common/proprietary/graphics/lib need to be placed in /system/lib (This was also the main key to booting CM9 on the N7000 using an open source kernel.)

I'll try to post something flashable tonight or tomorrow night.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Speechless!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
I PMed imilka to see how we can work together. We've had a bit of duplicated effort which is counterproductive, but I hope with some better coordination things can work out best for all involved.

xplod's hardbrick kind of really threw everything for a loop - He had a nearly complete device tree including a kernel close to building, but no way to test it. Imilka was basing off of leak repacks which many people dislike. (In my case - I don't touch anything that's based off of leak repacks with VERY rare exceptions.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
hopefully you can collaborate, after all, it's in our best interest! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ssss69:
Sounds pretty good
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Updated OP.

Great news! Xplodwild is receiving his note back from the store this weekend, and will resume device tree and kernel progress! Awesome times for development and CM9 coming soon!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
It also looks like xplod or codeworkx decided to make the device tree repo public.

At this point:

extract-files.sh is broken - I need to fix it this weekend

The vendor proprietary repo is not published - I need to clean up my prop files and push them to a repo

I just realized this morning that outgoing call audio is broken! Yes, that's how rarely I make calls - I've been using my device only for data since Friday. Seems to be a kernel issue, as it also happens when running my Touchwizz kernel on ZCLP6 firmwares.

wooohoooo! thanks xplodwild and entropy!! you guys rock!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Right now, the issues I know of are:

extract-files.sh needs to be rewritten so others can build (this one's easy but tedious)

Speakerphone does not work

When the device is rotated into landscape position, pen input doesn't work right at all. It's like the x and y axis are swapped

Anything that is an issue on galaxys2 is also an issue for us (like FM radio not working)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Yes mate... It's going to be amazing... Thank you for your help my friend :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Wow, glad to see so much support and open mindedness.. and community sharing. this is what i love about an amazing community like xda. in a few hours we are almost 25% there, if we can manage to get a note for our dear dev in a day or 2, then we can see some amazing progress in a week to ten days already. lets do it! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] avetny:
lol

-Grab enough money to get the device

-Order the device

-Waiting for the device to be shipped

-ICS realized

-Kernel source realized

-We don't need you.

:D:D:D:D

joke :p;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Isriam:
is ics going to stop all development for this rom? i don't see anything that ics will affect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
the motive behind creating an open source kernel is to be not dependent on samsung leaks on ics or future versions of android + not be be dependent on their driver and kernel sources

once we have our own kernel open source, it can be updated continuously and made compatible for future android releases and massive custom rom development, where devs usually face issues with integral parts not working etc. this will make the development for note much smoother than it already is. plus its for the community :)

Stage 1 complete. Thank you so much!

Friends,

Awesome update! We have completed stage 1 of the project, which is collecting funds and now the dev has bought the device.

So the project is completely ON!

I would like to thank PopAds and the Community members who have donated, supported and believed in making this happen.

Some awesome times ahead for the Note Community!

Updated the OP and 2nd Post, please do check it out!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
Wow...definitely, that was fast! Congratulations! This could become a win-win situation from now on :)

EDIT: Just one question: May I kindly ask how PopAds is involved in this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xxxstar123:
+1 donation from me.

Good Luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tomksoft:
PopAds.net sponsored more than 50% of required funds. No worries, the kernel remains open source, adfree etc.

It just has PopAds in it's name, that's all :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
Thanks mate, thats what I wanted to hear ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tomksoft:
You're welcome. I am a business owner as well as Note owner, so donating here was actually a win(for my business)-win(for myself)-win(for the developer)-win(for the community) :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Thank you for your immense support my friend.... We are now rocket speed ahead with and for our awesome phones... Love the community spirit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Xplodwild in the note community is gonna be sooo awesome.... Love the coming times for our notes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Definitely going to be a win win situation for all of us!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Wow glad you got the funds. That was fast.

Is this kernal going to be based around ics and gb to start or just one. I know the idea is so the kernal can be easy tweaked for new android versions etc.. just wondering if it will work with imilkas aosp ics...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
The kernel will be based on 3.x which will support android 4.0 + , and since it will be open source, devs will and can update it to how much they would like to :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Sweet!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bulut.O:
Thank you for starting this AndroidIndian...

Made my Donation too...

Hope this few €€€ will buy us free from Samsung Kernel Sources :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
I think xplodwild for audio and other need drv from samsung, is it right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
I think he will need a few drivers. If source doesn't come soon he can probably use stuff from the 2 leaked kernals. Ie camera drivers. USB etc... i hope
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Nope... He is building everything from scratch.. Just like how he has done for gs2

Sammy have not released any sources for ICS for gs2 as well.. And his kernel with drivers is all open source and built from scratch.... That's the idea behind having an open source free platform ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
So he can build a camera driver from scratch then... and other drivers?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jodeltje:
This seems one hell of a job, thank you!

But isn't this a way to bigga job to do on his own? and how long is something like this supposed to take? weeks/months?

I'm really happy he's doing this great job :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
I can not imagine.... this is an incredible work.

He peraphs already have a source :D:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sam razzy:
Wow... Finally our Dev gonna work for NOTE .. AWESOME... will wait for a new Note

Wow, I didn't think nobody worked on the Note. I might help mauimauer also on CM9 port on the Note.

As for the drivers, some are missing, some can be taken from existing 2.6 sources, and I have some stuff already I can take ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sixstringsg:
I can help with CM9 as well if you'll let me know how I can help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] XpLoDWilD:
Unless you have strong programming knowledge, it's going to be hard to help ^^ We've already worked together on Hacksung chat channel, as Galaxy SII and Note share some modules.

Thanks. That answers that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matius44:
That would be absolutely amazing mate! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
In terms of the time it would. It won't take very long as gs2 and note share a similar hardware... So we will see the development very soon!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Yes bro... We need your love now for the note... One of the most amazing devices out there...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xaoc747:
Russian user's from 4PDA wait your work! Please inform me when something will ready to test. I'm ready to test...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jscurtu:
So basically, all proprietary drivers will be replaced by reversed engineer'd drivers?

Hmmm.. must say, it is hard to believe, but if it works then KUDOS to you XpLoDWilD!

I'll pull my hat..

But a few questions need to be pointed out.

What is the current state of the userspace drivers, like what parts have to be replaced what parts are there or partly there?

Can you make a list of userspace parts that need to be replaced? I think that would be interesting..

Also, will these changes/drivers be merged upstream, back to kernel.org?

I hope so, android really has to stop making all these forks. If this would make it back in Mainline, even in the stating part then it will be truly open and not just a project..

Samsung has even merged Exynos to mainline. (I read)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bulut.O:
Hope that damn device delivers soon :)

Just curious how the first developement will be and

what XpLoDWilD thinks about it...

Inviato dal mio GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Well, if you see XplodWild's current project he is already working on the Sgs2 open source kernel (which is slightly different from the note hardware), but he has made significant progress in just about 1.5 weeks time. You can see his twitter and youtube channel for working demos and teasers for the kernel.

Check out xplodwild's sgs2 thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23462307 , you can see how he is making significant progress everyday and its coming to stable use very soon! :)

So he will be releasing them sometime soon (dates not known yet)

but you can see, that he has it successful and working, and that was the reason he wanted to create an open source kernel and driver base for the note as well , which won't take much time as soon as he has the device and then both devices will catch on regular updates as well.

most of the kernel and drivers are being redone from scratch by him and also some parts being taken from the 2.6 existing ones as well. but mostly from scratch.

the project is 100% success and on the go go! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rigby2011:
I mean, if we have this kernel than aosp cm9 can develop to final updates and we do not need samsung anymore for there sourses and updates.
