I may be wrong but it is my understanding that the compiled kernel is in the boot image packed by mkbootimg.

The kernel is compiled to look for the compatible root file system in a particular place.

So when you change or use a boot image you change the kernel you are using.

So we have a system that;

Has a modified Linux kernel that selects the Android file system from internal memory installed in the first boot position.

We can put a Linux kernel compiled to find a compatible root file system say on external sd card in the second boot position.

We can replace the recovery image with a Linux kernel that finds a compatible root file system on the internal sd card.

That gives us a hardware selective three different systems (triple boot)

With fastboot on the PC we can quickly change any of the Three boot images, replace the recovery image or repair system.

I think all we need is a 3.2.23 kernel compiled thee separate ways and packaged with mkbootimg.

1st find root file system internel, 2nd find file system externel 3rd find file system usb

We already have two 2.6.38 kernels. One from Spdev (external root file system)and One from Netham {internal file system)

They are different kernels as Nethams has added modules.

I believe the were both compiled from the same Git.

I have tried switching the two boot images in second boot position with both root file systems installed and when you boot the second position

it switches to it's own file system.

I haven't tried swapping the root file positions yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] alatnet:
Interesting. Though i think it needs to be a specific type of kernel (i.e bzImage or uImage instead of vmlinuz) to actually run. also, the precompiled kernel in the guide that i had used in the opening post had a command line where one option was "root=/dev/mmcblk1p2" which pretty much says for the kernel to look for the linux file system in the second partition on the sd card.
[Acer Iconia A500] themechaniac:
Yes with the way the system is formatted you cannot change out the kernel on the fly. It is basically hard coded in the boot image. Skrilax has given us a way to change boot positions so we don't have to sacrifice recovery position to boot second kernel. I have not seen any pre configured 3.2.23 kernels yet. The one that Netham posted boots from internal SD but causes problems for some people as not all a500 have their internal SD card formatted in the same memory block. It works great for me:) I prefer to have my root file system on a fast external SD so would like to modify or compile a kernel like Netham's. I find I run out of space when I have it internal. Netham's kernel has USB sound and seems to boot differt than Spdev's.
[Acer Iconia A500] alatnet:
Right, but this is how the linux boot loader is going to go with, instead of loading the linux system (sans kernel and initrd) from the sd card, we create a boot.img that has a linux system built in that has a sole purpose of loading other linux systems using kexec.

Edit:

Here's how the path is going to go:

Startup-->Bootloader-->Linux Bootloader (loads linux on external drives)-->Linux (on external drives)
[Acer Iconia A500] themechaniac:
Well I am happy with Ubuntu on my external SD card, I even ran a kernel compile on it and it ran pretty fast. I am stuck on the mkbootimg part. It can't be done on the tablet, has to be a PC. I tried unpacking the Two ready made boot images to see how they are configured but they don't seem to have a ram disk. Still working on that. It is learning how the system is put together that is half the fun, Getting it to work the way you want is the goal. When it is all squared away it will be time to move on to the next puzzle. :) I have enough computers that I could just put a system on each one and be done with it. Where's the fun in that. Most of them are dual booted already.
[Acer Iconia A500] alatnet:
Well, even though mkbootimg is suppose to be run on linux, i don't think it was compiled for arm so you are going to have to use a pc for that program. as for the initrd, i did find a website that may help in creating an A.L.B.L. (Android Linux Boot Loader): http://www.thewireframecommunity.com/node/14

Essentially what is needed to create the A.L.B.L. is to create a kernel with kexec in it and an initrd that mounts the external drives along with an easy to use interface to be loaded before loading any kernels to allow for selecting kernels. with that said, how do you figure out how to use the volume buttons and the power button within linux using a c\c++ program?

tegra driver

I have ubuntu 12.10 armf runing on my a500 thanks to the "Linux on A500: The Future" thread. I am using the ferrariforzaleo mod of rogro82's kernel.

The problem I had was getting the xorg tegra module to load. I fixed this by getting the "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/armhf/nvidia-tegra/16.0-0ubuntu1"]https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/armhf/nvidia-tegra/16.0-0ubuntu1 and installing with

sudo dpkg -i

after I rebooted it started using the tegra video driver.

Cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] Forzaferrarileo:
can you explain me the steps you done ? I also want ubuntu 12.10 running but I can't install any desktop on it ( show error and other error )
[Acer Iconia A500] HardlyAbelson:
ubuntu 12.10

Hi, I used the debootstrap and and qemu / chroot to setup my rootfs. i found post #61 in the "Linux on A500: future" very helpful.

Also, make sure you have a usb keyboard handy. After you run "apt-get install -d ubuntu-desktop" (assuming you have a pc running ubuntu to use) in a qemu chroot, you can move to the a500 and boot up and login as root and run "apt-get install ubuntu-destop". since the stuff is cached. I found this faster than installing the desktop while in the chroot. After that finishes, you should boot up with a desktop available. If something is wrong and you can't login, try doing "ctrl-alt-f1" to get to the getty command line login and look at the /var/log/ folder for clues in the logs.

How to compile the kernel?

I succesfully got debian running on my iconia a500 :laugh:

Building my own rootfs and getting the wifi to work were not that hard, but I still don't know how to compile the Linux kernel for the a500 from source.

I already found the git repository of rogru82 (https://github.com/rogro82/picasso-kernel) and I downloaded the source to my pc (running ubuntu 13.04). Can someone point me to a tutorial explaining how to compile this source?

Also, can someone explain what sort of partition table the internal memory uses? I am running the 3.0 kernel and I can see a block memory device in the /dev folder but there are no partitions. How can I mount the internal memory?

So yes, I have very bad light bleed on my HTC Amaze. The mod intended to fix them, didn't. I tried the screen filter app and that didn't help. I just want this to go away. What can I do?

[HTC Amaze 4G] DinoSoup:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
The LEDs brightness aren't adjustable. So the only options is to turn them off. I believe everyone that owns a rooted amaze turns them off..lol

I use a script to turn off my LEDs. But since I'm on Energy it has the option to turn them off in Tweaks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I just deal with the bleed. Is not like it makes it unusable. If I watch a video at night, I just turn them off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dlux503:
Between adjbrightness and screen filter adjbrightness is looking like the better of the 2 just remember to go into options so it stays off.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
Hello,

I have the VZW GS3 which has a million ROM's, sadly this doesn't seem to be the case here on the sprint phone.l

The most important thing is that everything works , thats it.

Are there any good stable ROM's out there without any built in themes?

Does anyone make TW ROM's? I havnt seen any on here

Lastly, what does LG8 mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
The stock room is very stable imo. I have tried custom rooms on my evo in the past but have not felt the need here yet.

LG8 is the build number of the stock Rom that was the latest into a few weeks ago. The current release is LI3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
So your girlfriend has Sprint?

LG8 is the firmware version. This version is old. The latest official release is LI3. There are leaked firmware versions up to LIH now. This is Samsung's way to identify when the firmware versions were made. L=2012 I=September, 3=3rd. It goes up to 9 before it goes into letters to represent 10th day and higher.

As for Roms, there are quite a few tw roms available. Check out the android development section. There you will find both ice cream sandwich roms as well as the jelly bean leaks. I'm running jelly bomb domination jelly bean Rom. It's perfect!!!! Great battery life, no issues at all, and its fully themed.

If you want ICS I'd recommend team sonic free gs3 Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] K.0.0.L.:
Blazer rom jelly Bean V1.9 is the most stable and zero lag on bluetooth stream. update to LIH n u are good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
Most of the roms in the dev forum are touchwiz roms. Almost all of these are stable, even jellybomb (based of leaked jellybean rom) is stable. I've had 0 issues so far, and it feels faster. Sonic, blazer, and many others are stable as well. I like jellybomb though. Most of the bugs will be in the AOSP roms (or miui). These were built from the ground up without Samsungs work. They'll be in the original development mostly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] staeck20:
I've been running blazer for weeks now, on the ics 1.9 version currently and no issues what-so-ever.

I appreciate you guys clearing it up for me. I have not been on XDA for a while and didn't see there are two separate Dev sections now. I was only looking at one of them.

I just have a question regarding Jelly Bean. I run the VZW version myself and we have some major data issues when we run AOSP JB, like data drops, not connecting despite showing full bars etc. Is this an issue at all on the Sprint version ? Are there any issues related to JB?

Well, quite a few people have had data issues, mostly concerning the 3g/4g handoff, but I wouldn't say its MAJOR like you make it sound on VZW. I personally like TouchWiz Jellybean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
All the JB ROM's I've tried have caused a noticeable hit on battery life for me. I need my phone to last 10 hours reliably, and after every JB ROM I've tried, I was down below 20% after 10 hours, and that's not acceptable. What's your battery life on Blackbean like?

With FreeGS, I am usually around 60-70% after 10 hours, depending on usage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamdestruktor:
Can anyone give me input on data quality on Blackbean and FreeS3 ROMs? I know its an odd question but my ROM's data isn't what it should be. I'm just wondering if this the case with most JB ROMs.

Why would i stay on a ROM if i'm getting worse battery life than what i came from? BlackBean gives me great battery life similar and or better than what i had on FreeGS3.

[An aside, for some reason i had MMS issues with any TWiz ROM, none of that with JellyBean, so i stuck with it.]
[Motorola Atrix HD] fastboot_oem_unlock:
Now that its rooted I will share this.

It is an update from ICS 77.12.22 AT&T to Jellybean. It is not going to install on retail 77.12.22 devices, only for a special test version of 77.12.22. It still has a lot of whole files and might be helpful to a developer.

i have confirmed leak to work on our device flash appropriate files in fastboot and rest with adb root
[Motorola Atrix HD] joejoejo:
What do you mean by that i dont wanna flash my phone to the leaked version because as i know this version is jelly bean and also if something goes wrong with my phone then i could not get support from motorola. And my phone has the firmware 77.12.22 which is the newest official firmware. But what i want to get is the the newer motorola and at&t files/apps that are not version 4.0.4 version or 4.1.x version to work on my phone's firmware that is in the firmware listed in the first post without flashing it to that version. NOTING I DO NOT WANT TO FLASH MY PHONE TO THE LEAKED FIRMWARE JUST TO UPDATE SOME OF THE APPS.

Also how did you cmvienneau get this to flash on your device? this seems like but what the first post said that it would only flash over a developer version of 77.12.22
