Do other OMAP4 projects lend help to 3.4 on Galaxy Nexus? For example, I saw (at https://e2e.ti.com/support/omap/f/849/t/366517 ) that people had been working on linux-ti-omap4_3.4.0-1491.3.tar.gz (103.4 MiB) from https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/ubuntu/omap-trunk/+packages . I wonder if there are any other such projects going on.

I think a bounty like kick-start campaign with people funding the team that would work for it.Many people and the few kernel developers still existing on the galaxy nexus team cannot do it because it would require so much time and trouble.But if there were some thousand dollars like a kick-start campaign it would motivate them and would make them to have a better reason to invest their time as this is a difficult thing to do.

So what do you guys say?Do we go and create a kick-start campaign?I am sure many of us would donate for something like this.Is it time for this to be taken more aggressively?

Please note that many SGN's emmc chips are dying. I think its because of not that good quality of chip. So IMHO it is not that critical to work on kernel for devices that are going to die soon. Personally i love my SGN and it would be great to have 5.1+ android working as it should. But that is not worth of efforts. IMHO, of course.

Could we get this to work on the Gnex?

https://github.com/Quallenauge/kernel-archos/tree/linux-jb-3.4

That's a 3.4 Kernel for a Archos Tablet running on the TI OMAP 4430/4460 (they use on or another on different versions).

This thread has details on the hardware and some kernel stuff from [MENTION=4636351]Quallenauge[/MENTION] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644376

It boots to ADB on the archos tablet.

You'll probably have change the configuration of the memory (the tablet boots from an internal SD Card controller), RAM we use Samsung RAM, they use ELPIDA and some other stuff but ADB would be a good start, I guess :P

[MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION]i feel so happy for your post.However I would not post and ask something without a reason.Can you explain us what this is?I would not want to jump to conclusions fast or say things that might spread false rumors.

Is there plan for a 3.10 kernel for maguro ?

Is this project alive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aosp:
As you can see from the last commit it's alive and a wip and if you know of any active omap4 kernel devs that would like to help the community feel free to link them that repo and this one https://github.com/Ziyann/omap/commits/p-android-omap-3.4 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
[MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] could someone maybe create an index in the first page of this thread? Of what has been achieved till now and what is missing or being developed from omap team?

Would help people as this thread started a long time ago.

Maybe you could also tell us how well it is going.

It would help all those of us that still want a galaxy nexus with a 3.10 (!) kernel.

I would love to know what is happening with the display.

Kind regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mirhl:
Ladies and gentlemen we got contact.

Sure, with simplefb rather than omap driver and not even within Android, but with display working for debugging it should all be downhill from here onward. And even 3D acceleration seems within reach.

I don't think anyone's stopping anybody from working on a 3.4 kernel , its just being said that its not really worth it . if it was ,stephano or Francisco , or any of the great devs would have already . i still mess with building it , but I'm more interested in continuing to make a solid 3.0 kernel . there's no wrong answer here just people stating their two cents . plus there's still room for improvements on our current kernel .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
We'll find out whether it's worth it or not once we have zips to flash and see for ourselves
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
So if everyone could upload their source, that would be great, waiting to take a look at it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drive2droad:
Just a heads up > the latest Amazon Kindle Fire tablet (Cheapest of the series) has a TI OMAP processor which is eerily similar to ours . these new kindle tablets run JB 4.2.2 & if anyone can find the kernel version , may be it could help development in some way .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Sorry to say this but i think the NP is now old enough (2-Years). A 3.4 100% working kernel is impossible at this moment plus the N5 with 4.4 Android are going to be released Q4 anytime by Oct-Nov, adding to it the development is gradually decreasing (just have a look at the N4 xda page) due to the low-end Dual core processor. The last tweak that was for our device was the tweaked LPDDR RAM timings by boype...

The Qualcomm Snapdragon800 & the 64-bit A7 chip smashes the TI4460 to dust .....:rolleyes: .

Though i like my NP for it's service and looks but things get old eventually !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Well, I think this CPU is good enough even in 2013... I don't have any app that is slow or lagging. I don't even see any tearing while scrolling, or things like that... so, where is this "low-end" processor slow for you? And no, a 100% working 3.4 is not impossible - it's just that the devs think that tweaking our well-working 3.0 kernel is a better choice, and, while we are supported by Google, well, there's a tiny possibility in getting a newer kernel with a new update, so this work would be wasted... if I'd be a dev, I'd sure wait for our last update. And about the tweaks... just about every tweak that is worth it, have been found in the last 2 years.

But please, stop making destructive posts, like "we don't need a newer kernel", etcetc... this topic is dedicated to 3.4, not for opinions about why don't some people want it :)

That's called "planned obsolescence". That's just like what Samsung does, for example: the S3 was the world's fastest phone, they said, until the day S4 arrived. Now, according to them, the S3 is soo slow and old that you should buy the S4 instead of wasting your time while waiting for it to load anything :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Keksdroid:
There are 3.4 kernel for almost all Xperia 2011 devices (for example my Arc S with Single Core 1.4 Ghz and 512 MB RAM) and the only thing that is not working because of kernel is FM radio ;) So I'm pretty sure the Galaxy Nexus is not too old for it!

If it's really necessary is a different question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Sorry if i had offended you, all i meant was currently there are Tiny,MpoKANG,Fancy,Trinity,Franco,Lean,ASKP are left and all use 3.0.x rel moreover the google just didn't update phone with the new 3.4 kernel plus the TI's abandonment of it's platform leaves us with no updates from the SoC vendor and the things "just" work for Gnex well but when it comes to the battery, loading things, gaming performance had become significantly less.

Anyways the 3.4 update would be good for every Gnexus user though but the development limits that, complete project from the scratch would be tough :rolleyes:

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Tough, yes, so they need all the encouragement they can get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geniusboy93:
Sorry for interrupt and not post at my device's threde. But actually, I always look at gnex threde, because i want to find kernel 3.4 for my friend's gnex.

Sorry if misunderstanding, but in my opinion, it is not impossible. My device, galaxy wonder, just have single core, with such a low ram, but already have 3.4 kernel. Our developer, arco, make it possible. At first, it is not successful to boot. But after the boot, it have full of bugs, wifi, bluetooth, many bugs. But it slowly fix and now, the bugs is none. And it become faster and better after every update. It always come in stage, e.g, alpha, beta, release.

The truth is, 3.4 kernel is awesome. I can feel a lot of difference. It is very smooth and fast. I'm pretty sure with gnex, it will be incredible. You will feel a lot of difference if you get the 3.4 kernel.

Sorry if this make it misunderstanding. I'm not push the development, or make it complicated, or ask for eta. I'm not mean for that if any. I know the development is so hard. I just give my opinion.

Sincerely and cheers:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hello,

I've been following this thread for a while, and i'm sorry for interupting developement! But i think this has to be said.

The Samsung Galaxy S1 ( Device that has been released 2010-06-04) Has kernel 3.4 and as far as i know, everything is working.

As Jeeko already in the Golden Kernel thread, he is working on a 3.4 kernel. there are alot more devs saying they are working on it.

We don't have to look at features that are 3.4 > 3.0, because there are alot of thing we won't use (i7 & i5 optimalization etc.)

I've owned the Galaxy S1, and with the 3.4 kernel over the 3.0 kernel, it was way faster.

So be excited guys, for more information about the Linux kernel, you can always PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drive2droad:
this is the kind of excitement we yearn here at xda , Thanks a lot dude !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I get the points your making , and I agree with all of it . I've been messing with JackpotCalvins git for a Linux 3.4.x kernel and was interested in the galaxy s reference , correct me if im wrong but i think their kernel works because its msm . there's plenty of development for the msm soc but how does that help with the omap soc? Or was it just to say it can be done regardless of how old a phone is ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Well, Only "problem" is , there is no OMAP2/tuna board device out there with kernel 3.4. So we cannot use that source,

but that is not like a really big problem, cause devices always have a lot of "personal" drivers required, and those will always

have to be re-written.

Hope everyone is as excited as i am :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drive2droad:
From Android Police :

If the article above is true then even 3.4.x might be old news when it comes to Android 4.4 aka kitkat , Android may move closer to the latest stable kernel on Linux which currently is 3.10.17 as far as i know however ubuntu 13.10 runs on 3.11.1 .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleischbanane:
3.11 is no longterm support version. 3.10 is currently the last one.

I think this will only help future devices.

I don't think so but it would be a great surprise if they will release a new kernel for our two year old phone.

Every Nexus device gets 3 codenames of Android.. and Google promises 3 years of upgrades. All sources point to KitKat on the 28th of Ocobter, and the GNex was released on the 17th of November 3 years ago. So I am going to say that there is a good chance that KitKat will be final for the GNex.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siddardha21:
I actually thinks its 3 updates just like u mentioned. We already received three updates. And its not 3 years. Its 18 months. Google has an agreement where it wants android supporting alliances to support their devices for 18 months. AFAIK. We'll be getting 4.4 somehow. Atleast cm will. Hope we get a kernel update like amperfic told. Building a fully functional rom is much easier when we have a latest kernel. Or else there will be many patches to be applied to our current kernel. Finger's crossed for official 4.4 ota update!

Edit.: gnex is a two year old device. Released in November 2011. :D

Subject says it all. I've been using my S3 for about 6 months, stock. Recently OTA upgraded to 4.1.1 JB, which killed my battery life compared to ICS, but now I'm considering rooting just to test out ROMs and see if I can improve battery life (and all the goodies that come along with it)

Is preserving the flash counter important? Is that really something we should be concerned about?

I read something in a thread where it was said no matter how you obtain root, when you flash ROMs or kernels it trips the counter +1 anyway.

Just seems like if that is true, then why bother to preserve the flash counter if it trips anyway?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Don't worry about it. Triangle away will reset it back to zero when needed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
But remember that it's not guaranteed that resetting the flash counter will work. It will void warranty.

I bought my S3 used, so I gave about zero craps because I had no intention of ever trying to get a replacement under warranty, anyway. I'd just sell it for parts if it came to that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Actionx1:
I hope that app works because lately the people who inspect the phones at the tmobile stores are actually looking to see if the phone is rooted now. So maybe the technicians at the lab will look for that counter and see that the phone was rooted.

Yeah , same problem with me. When on stock ics the battery would drain by 2-3% per hour in idle mode. But after upgrading to jb it is draining at 8-9%. Does anyone knows how to fix that?

I've used triangle away and it resets flash counter. So if u ever need to get ur warranty back just use traingle away and flash stock rom.

also, you can't play Avengers which you get free as a download from Media Hub if that counter is tripped. I've tried.

70% because once your not using other apps, is logic that those that you use are in the top.

Some of them run in background, thats the reason to freeze them.

Sound logic when im no using anything the System is on top of that,but it's been always like that, even if im playing GTA vice city or just isng facebook,
