Thanks for the update anyway.. !!

Are you in the possibility to give a link to source our devs can use to port.. ? I think LaidbackNikez is still in search for them, he says he needs sources to start from.. The Desire community would be gratefull and thank you for it.. !!

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I'm uploading it to our gerrit as I type this.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I had some issues and so on... But they source is up now. If you want to contribute, USE GERRIT.

[Desire Android Development] :
From Wikipedia.com:

the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components)

Most of the 4.0+ ROM's are using Evervols 2.6 kernel. If they can get kernel 3.0 to work, the ROM's might get faster, camera might work, and lots of other things.
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
Yes, but it might also go the other way;)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I was sort of hoping that other dev's would help... It wont work if you depend on one person. Get going already.
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Who is currently contributing to the project?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
To the Bravo porting? Me and only me.
[Desire Android Development] TimHermans:
I'm busy with work atm but doing my very best to understand kernel dev.. My head feels really spongy.. :eek:

I'll join you when I get there.. Won't be tomorrow.. ;)

Greetz.. !!
[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
Ill start contributing asap when im free ;)

What stage is the kernel at? (Yes i know beginning) but whats done? Im on irc on mobile
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
So this isn't really going anywhere... People really need to step the f up.

So, I have to bring in other people to help out.. Does anyone in GERMANY have an extra HTC Desire laying around? And if so, could that person borrow it to a fellow developer who'll help us out? Please PM me ASAP.
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Hmm I live in germany and I own a Desire but it is my only cellphone and I need it actually so unfortunately not.

Another a little bit slower option would be to raise some money (I could give 15€) to buy a Desire for 75€ (~96$):

My computer just broke down yesterday when setting up dual boot win/linux.. Guess was living on the edge with my 4hd raid0 after 6years.. So little set back, but new pc will be bought..

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
A device has been found. Thanks to 'funnyboy828' on Twitter.

So.... To the even better news.. I just had my first successful compile of the new 3.0.16 kernel.. It sure took a while :'-)
[Desire Android Development] jmcclue:
haha what a legend, think il have to buy a new desire. great work Nikez :good:
[Desire Android Development] ChipKng:
Sounds great! What was the solution of the gpio_request problem? Did you found the correct header?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Header includes were all derped... :D So I took a break and sat down and went through them and voila, here we are. Kernel wont boot though... And I can't get a log... So yeah.. :D

I am seriously not going to lift a finger until I get some of the 'promised' help from the other "übermegawtfpwn"-dev's. The

only one

who has helped me is NooNameR (a lot of help, thank you), but other than that... Nada. It's quite annoying and RUDE to be promised help and not get it...
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
And don't forget Marc :cowboy:

Can't believe that you ppl achieved Kernel 3 after that time.

I can remember the first attempts one year ago, time flies^^
[Desire Android Development] Gwelvin:
How can non dev help ?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Of course not! But he didn't promise anything, he just did ;) (my point was people saying they would help, but they haven't)

Man chill out ;) why the bitterness? I never meant to disrespect any devs or post as you say "crap" just wanted to make a point how serious any news today will be and that you should open your mind and just actually read the way Nikez has posted. Other than that enjoy this day of fun and don't be grumpy.

And what has it to do with respect towards the devs?! Nobody made jokes about the devs...

[Desire Android Development] TimHermans:
True.. I'm left a bit confused.. Don't get it really: any other day in the year this joke would be called lame and a thank-you-grabber.. (posting u have booting k3) But not on April 1st, this day it's allowed.. Kinda weird.. And then there's the off topic posting it brought with it.. Not so long ago some people clearly asked to stick to usefull posts for devs only, not to clutter the thread.. So please do so or better yet don't..

Anyway, I really thought it was a genuine post and that's that.

As for the people who told me to chill out, I'm totally at ease, relaxed so no harm meant, half of the emotion in my post is your own (the reader)

Greetz
[Desire Android Development] :
Hey TimHermans, would be cool if you would respond to my PM.

Thanks.

[Desire Android Development] ToastnButter:
It'd also be good if he stopped posting, because reading this awkward stuff really hurts my brain.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
We're stuck and we could use some help ASAP.... Seriously, I am tired of this, why do I have to CHASE people for help? I have 0 kernel development skills, yet I at least f*****n try. And to be honest, I have progressed quite well with the help of NooNamer.

To those guys who promised to help: Was it all talk? I am starting to doubt your so called capabilities to actually code at all. Shaky being the only exception here, as I have seen his work.

This'll be the last post regarding this. I hope I have made myself clear regarding this matter. derp
[Desire Android Development] ChipKng:
Where did you stuck? Finally I was able to compile the kernel on a virtual linux, so I can start debugging on my phone.

I'll try to join IRC tonight as well.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
it does not boot at all, so no log for now.
[Desire Android Development] ChipKng:
kernel debugging

Somehow expected, but we need to try any of these options to get a debug log: http://bootloader.wikidot.com/linux:android:kmsg

4example /proc/kmsg or /proc/last_kmsg ? The later should show something. ;)

Forgot to add: to have last_kmsg working we need to compile the kernel with the "Android RAM buffer console" flag set to 'yes'.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
We already have that. We can't get the kmsg as we have no way to reboot without pulling the battery.
[Desire Android Development] ChipKng:
Isn't /data/dontpanic folder exists?
[Desire Android Development] Thömy:
So this is a long shot. When I tried my luck with a 3.0 kernel I had the exact same problem. I solved it by getting the early ram console to work and inserting bravo_reset() calls into the code to see if the device reboots. Then there is a good chance that last_kmsg is accessible from recovery. A good place to check if it works is to insert it into bravo_init(). See my commit here. I removed the call because the device started to reboot due to panics if it didn't hit BUG() somewhere.

My code is still available fhere https://github.com/thoemy/kernel-msm-3.0. Noonamer should know about it so not sure you already saw that. Also see the README below.
[Desire Android Development] noonamer:
yes, but its doesnt help too...

[Desire Android Development] RegMaster:
Nikez.. are you going to release another update of your ROM for Desire in next days, or all your time is for try to get a stable boot for kernel 3.0?

What is today the principal problem of kernel 3.0? I haven't knowledge about develop kernels, but I'm a "skiller" in hardware architecture, and would investigate some problems about it. I read in lasts post that when desire try boot, it hangs, and you can't get a report log because you can't reboot without remove the battery. Why this happens? Where kernel bump debug log?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I'm not sure, we've added some functionality to it but not that much.

Regarding the kernel, yeah, as it can't boot and hangs, there is no kernel debug data. It's annoying. Once we get a decent log of what happens, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to get it booting properly.
[Desire Android Development] RegMaster:
Do you know what is the exact instant of hangs?

Kernel is full loaded and then, when services is loading is when it hangs?, or hangs during kernel load?, or you not have any idea?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
No idea :/
[Desire Android Development] RegMaster:
maybe I'm saying nonsense..... but would be possible write a service with a command for reboot, and rewrite the default boot hierarchy for load it just after kernel load and dump the report bug, before load others default services?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Hey guys

Me and NooNamer have been working some more... It now reboots and we can retrieve the log!
[Desire Android Development] noonamer:
we with Nikez made alot tday, we get log, now if u unplug battery log a saved on /proc/last_kmsg.. good progress many fixes on config..much more but now we get new serious problem i can post log here if somebody know, it's be very good...

Additional help porting K3 for bravo

I'm not really keen on posting here after the last few post headed my way saying I shouldn't post anymore and some very friendly responses.. :( But here it goes anyway. A while back I sent some PM's to devs to ask for their help.. Got new reply today form Chaosz-X, this is his message:

Basically it says that he isn't really active anymore on the android community due to personal life, but that he will have a look at this thread this weekend to know where we are at.. He also says that after thursday (next week) he has time to help for a week and that afterwards he has to work again until the start of May after which he'll be back.. He says he'll enjoy working on this and hopes we will succeed.. !!

Hope some people here now realise I'm doing my best to support the community even if i don't really have much dev-skills yet.. Hope this thread will be more good news in the future instead of flaming everybody that tries to help even if it's futile..

[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
I watch this thread since the beginning and I am very interested in K3 like all of us (at least I think so) and I am very very grateful that you helped maybe even (re)starting things in March by taking part of the discussion, sending pms and initiating contact between the devs :cowboy:

I never meant to be an ass towards you, I just don't think that it shouldn't be "allowed" to laugh about and to discuss a joke on 1st April, which actually was funny cause some ppl were fooled

I think a person like you who is a little bit stubborn and pushy (I mean it in a completely positive way, I just don't find the "right" english words) is really important for projects, unlike me, I am more reserved :)

but i need a rest i work about 30 hours in this two days, and i made rly big work, but kernel not started and at this moment i need help from peoples who know much more than i in kernel dev

Hi, thanks for your work! I'm looking with a lot of interest for it!!

I'd like suggest you to look (maybe?) at the Desire V kernel, which has the same Adreno200 gpu as our N1/Desire! Could it be of any help?

The Desire V is one of the 3 new devices presented for Chinese market some weeks ago.

If you want I have extracted the "boot_signed.img" from the proper Europe's RUU. ;)
