FXP posted this thread to get experienced help from others interested. As we can see, there are no experienced developers left for Xperia 2011 devices. As such, it would make sense that this project be scrapped and the thread locked. Why? So FXP and other developers can focus on later Xperia devices.

Please take this idea into consideration team FXP. The 2011 range is so low-end by today's standards so 90% of power users have moved on. If you ever did get this kernel work to a stable state, you will get very little real appreciation - monetary or otherwise - nowhere near as much as you deserve for the time spent.

I'm sure many would agree that, from an unbiased standpoint, it would be wise to leave 2011 development completely in order to work on newer devices.

It's time to let go.

With that said, I also unsubscribe to the thread (as I have moved on). Good luck to all. And be kind to your generous, sefless developers :)

DEV Q: FOR DOOMLOARD AND FXP: Way developing 3.0.8 kernel was stoped ?

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/semc-kernel-msm7x30-dev
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DragonClawsAreSharp:
It need not always be for money or for any apparent advantage. It can very well be for sake of knowing. For attaining that superb satisfaction you get upon completion of a project. I do not know how real developers might think. But here at XDA, Recognized Developers ask for "Donations", and not "Fee".

Usually developers take up these projects to fill up the gaps left out by the OEMs. And old devices are the ones that need this support the most. Especially because even a year old device is not supported by the OEMs.

On the other hand, moving on to newer devices gives a much narrowed scope for the developer to work on. We simply get to see some real development in an AOSP ROM, and rest are simply themed ROMs, with probably some added performance tweaks.

As far as the closing of this thread is concerned, perhaps you are correct in the fact that the purpose of the thread is not being fulfilled.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Langes:
The project members would probably do better if they create a circle at Google+ and use this thread as a connection point to get in contact with potential new project members...?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n1kolaa:

[MENTION=359497]FXP[/MENTION] If 3.0.8 kernel development completes can you include this in your builds or you just release the cm10 builds with 2.6.32.9 only
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bluestricker_21:
As long as 3.0.8 has bugs, FXP will not include it in there builds..

FXP builds stable and bugless cm10 for us. if happens 3.0.8 become stable then FXP ,might add it in there builds..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just to be clear... development work on the anzu 3.4 kernel is still going on... i wont be posting any kernels to test... i do not want to post half baked kernels which just boot and have things yet to be fixed... there is no point in that... i will only be pushing the patches/sources so that the devs who want to contribute can start work by fixing them... once i am satisfied that most things are working correctly only then i will release the kernel for users to test...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
it may work as long as u have the necessary packages installed for compiling...

u can check out the following link to setup build environment:

http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

once u have the build env setup, u can get the toolchains i regularly use by cloning this repo... for building this 3.4 kernel i am using the GCC 4.7 toolchain...

after u have the toolchains setup just clone/fork the work-in-progress kernel repo: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/CAF_msm7x30-3.4.x

for anzu i have the branch master_anzu

build scripts are already there (get_config_anzu, make_config, build_it, clean_it) just correct their paths and start building :)

I have rebased the kernel onto the CAF branch rather than it just being a copy and paste so now it tracks upstream allowing us to update the kernel as needed.

I'll update it to the latest stuff from CAF as needed and try helping with development where possible.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cdesai:
I think basing it off a tag will be a better idea, since you'll have the matching user space code that way.

I'll post a link to a list of caf releases when on a PC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hillbeast:
Yeah I used the tag from the original repo Doomlord was using. Just wish I knew what branch that was so I can update it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cdesai:
Again, using tags instead of branches would be better, for the same reason.

https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release has a list of releases.

M7630AABBQMLZA40901040 is the latest tag for 4.2.2 on msm7630 SoCs, looks like that is what you pushed (https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=af5ddc99f3d0e7c2406d5bf64763eef7d0843127)

Too bad...

Too bad its dead... it was a really nice project, i use to come here regulary to check any updates but after a few months i think we can call it dead...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeBouse:
No it's not.

Check the CM 10.1 thread , every release (weekly basis) contains a 3.4.x kernel.

It works with CM based roms, as Slim Bean or CM10.1 or DarkRom.

The current version of the kernel is 3.4.54

And it's very stable and bugfree now, everything is working.

But it's not developed by FXP anymore, they gave up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fabianowerner:
thanks for the info, any chance on have 720p supported by 3.4.x kernels?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deveron3:
Maybe if we get the ion memory allocator working on our devices... Maybe. Outside of that possibility, 720p is bogging down resources and returning video that averages 15 fps. It's just not worth it at this point. It is technically possible right now. You just have to fork, modify, and build a 720p enabled kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
I know its a little bit offtopic, but can I use the CM10.1 3.4.54 kernel on a CM10 ROM (like FXP230) ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dontbelive:
Nope 3.4.X kernel is modified for 4.2.2 cm10.1 you can try but you will get problems or bootloop .. You can use 3.0.8 kernel :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Is there any version present for the Xperia Play, codename zeus
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
Its because some early versions of 3.4.X, like nAa-03, we could use with 4.1... It would be really nice to use again this more updated kernels...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] om22:
sadly zeus isn´t supported for now. statement from http://legacyxperia.github.io : "Currently only mogami devices are supported. zeus devices don't have a 3.4 kernel port yet so it's not possible to support them, no active developer has this device"

You can also consider using CodeAurora tree as a base, for example the jb_rel branch (3.4 kernel for Android) of

https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=summary

It should already contain all the changes required to support MSM7x30, so you could focus on board file and missing drivers.

Doesn't look like 2.6.35. Makefile says it's 2.6.32.59. Scratch that, I didn't see the other directory.

Gosh, two kernel sources in one branch of one repository. This is how Git should not be used.

Yes, you're right, it's placed in another directory. This is a good example of how not to use Git.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n1kolaa:
but now It lot easyer to fxp to port 3.x kernel :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tom3q:
Yes, more information sources is always better. Although it's still closer from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35 (3 major versions) than from 2.6.35 to 3.4 (9 major versions).
