That's why I was curious about the Linaro toolchain. I guess I'll have to just look it up, I'm sure klin1344 is pretty busy, he maintains a few different things I believe and I'm sure the dude has a real life haha. I have seen mention of different toolchains being used in kernels before, which I mentioned above, but I've never tried any of these other ones. I do personally notice a significant performance change from Linaro optimized builds, though.

The maintainers that are affiliated with Cyanogen are amazing. Toastcfh, who is primarily on Sprint HTC devices, has always been amazing. I miss being with Sprint honestly, I used to stalk him when he changed phones haha. When Sprint released the Evo Shift 4G him and a handful of other developers actually built the Wimax Drivers (Sprints first 4G network) from the ground up.

The Android source code Google releases comes with a generic kernel, Seen here. That does lay down the ground work for a lot of devices, but getting all of the device specifics put in can be a pain.

I've honestly never built an android kernel from straight AOSP sources and done the fixes myself. I don't know enough about the chipsets to even begin. A little research could go a long way, but between my three little monsters and my inconsistent data reliability during my work travels, I never considered putting in the work. Those Cyanogen guys beat me to even thinking of it haha. I consider doing it and they've got it done.

There's a guide laying around somewhere that details how to pull vendor information and other device specifics from your phone via adb and if I remember correctly it explains how you use those files to start to get a working kernel (and in turn a booting rom.) I believe it was related to building AOSP for a non-aosp device, such as HTC. A lot of HTC devices have kernels that only support AOSP maintained by our community and kernels that are built off of HTC Source for roms that use the Sense UI, and in turn, the Sense framework. Aroma installers have really changed that, I flashed several kernels on HTC devices that were universal, for GSM/CDMA/INT, that were setup to let you pick exactly what you needed for your device right there in recovery, even modifications concerning hotplug, Sweep2Wake etc. It's come a long way since the old Hero CDMA days. It's a lot different from HTC around here though. Not in a bad way, you just get used to certain functions that Samsung simply won't have.

As mentioned above, Google does lay down the ground work for Kernel development, but you always run into hiccups when a new version comes out I. E. 4.3 - It'll boot but wifi will be broken, camera drivers may be missing, bluetooth is always a problem. Yadda Yadda. That's where our community really thrives. With HTC devices we usually had completely stable versions of Android running months upon months before HTC got around to releasing source, let alone actually pushing an update. I used to joke that they leak their updates so the XDA guys can get ahold of them and fix the problems. Probably a little truth to that. Haha.

okay so I set up a git account, and set up a basic linux toolchain (android NDK r7). I pretty much have it all set up so that all I need to do is to actually pick a git account to pull from and then start tinkering. Since this will be my first attempt, I think I will just try taking it easy and simply by just building and seeing how it goes. I am pumped!

Yeah the gf had an htc evo 4G so I know just how annoying wimax was and the idea that they wrote a driver to make wimax compatible blows my mind. I wish one day I can be as great as these guys. Yeah HTC seems like a pain when it comes to source and development but that may just be my opinion. Rooting my gfs evo took me 3 hours of just commandlines and junk. My sgs3 took all of like 2 minutes.

I am a little unsure of how to pull the source from git for a specific kernel but I think I am going to look that up right now.

Wish me luck!

Hope the movie was good and thanks for all the thanks!

EDIT: okay so it was a little messy getting the source from git (noob here). I wanted to get just the source for the cm kernel, but I couldn't find a way to do that. I ended up trying getting the source for cm10.1 and dear god did that take long. I guess I will call it a night for now and hopefully you can show me how to properly and neatly get the source to do this.

For reference, I used this guide: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source

and I got to step 3 Setting up kernel parameters

I have been looking a bit but haven't found a solution that fixes my problem. In other threads people suggested that this might be due to the toolchain not being set up properly, but I added the path to the end of .bashrc

I shall keep looking but let me know if you have any ideas

EDIT: Fixed by switching toolchains and compiling with 4.6 instead of 4.4.3 - when I figure out how to get past incompatibilities I will be compiling with 4.8

UP AND RUNNING, let the tweaking begin!!!!!!!!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Okay so I finally got to build and fixed wifi not working. So far the kernel is stable cm basically. I was wondering what would be the best educational source for modifications. Like I would like to change the name of the kernel and the boot splash since when I flash this it still has the information from the previous kernel under the About Phone setting. I don't want to bother you for every tiny thing, so far I have just been looking through random files.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahagersr:
Edit your defconfig file for d2att. There's a line in there that's says something along the lines of:

kbuild_build_version

Something like that, it'll have the name of the kernel present. I believe you can also adjust it prior to building if you are running the make menuconfig command, there's a slew of stuff there, I just haven't seen it in quite a while.

Boot splashes I'm not familiar with as they didn't flash with kernels on HTC devices.

As far as an actual source, I know there are several guides specific to android here on XDA. But I've got my wife and kids at grandpa's for some old fashioned barbecue. :)

I'm glad to see you're making progress!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
If you are in a hurry to pack a boot.img you can use the kitchen. It will compile a boot.img from zImage and ramdisk. I know you want to do it yourself, but it's a start. :)

Okay, i have a question for you. How do I get a ram disk. I am a little confused with the whole packaging process. All I do is I build a zImage and then get it into a flashable form using Koush's anykernel

unzip AnyKernel_samsung-d2.zip -d AnyKernel/
cp android_kernel_samsung_d2/arch/arm/boot/zImage AnyKernel/kernel/

It dual boots android and unbuntu. So yes, it will support gapps like hangouts, maps, etc. Not sure of nfc though. Would be silly if it didn't.

Well that's great! If I got this phone (which I prolly won't, It's a limited production phone), I would run Android more than ubuntu. Kinda defeats the purpose, but I think Ubuntu is better on tablets that phones.

The Oppo Find 5 is supposed to have a buggy stock OS, but it has (supposedly)great dev support. Cyanogenmod is supposed to be really good on the Find.

Oppo Find 7 is pretty much gonna be the "Pure Android with monster specs" phone. Once you install CM 10.1(2?) on it, that is.

Oppo actually sends out free phones to developers I believe. If anything, that's a good reason to get an Oppo: Open Handset. Until the Nemesis comes out, that is. It's nice to know we will now have a variety of phones that bring us closer to the stock Android experience. Nexus, Find, MotoX, SGS4 GPe, HTC1 GPe, etc...

which recovery do you have installed? if you have TWRP, you could try adb sideloading a ROM.... in TWRP, choose Advanced/ADB Sideload. then you send the ROM to the phone from your computer with 'adb sideload <rom name>.zip'.

if you don't have TWRP installed maybe you can install it from fastboot. there are probably other solutions too, but hopefully this would work. good luck!
