Hi.. New here, coming from Fascinate, Rezound is in the mail..
Since I'm waiting, I'm looking for kernels (GB) that were compiled with dm-crypt enabled. I wanna run my LUKS, but I'm holding off on going to ICS until it's official from HTC.. I haven't downloaded the source yet, so I'm just assuming it was not in the stock GB kernel.. I'd love to find out I'm wrong.
In a perfect world I'd just take the stock kernel with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, so if that doesn't exist and there's some interest, I might just compile one.
Sorry for the newb question, but I'm not up on dev / kernels over here..
Thanks!
sweet.. straight from my fresh HTC source .config..
Code:
CONFIG_DM_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y
::does happy dance::
guess that answers that! Coming from Samsung, working with HTC source code is a dream..
Thanks anyway!

Hi, i'm wondering if it is possible to build android (2.2 when it's released) and somehow run it with the HTC Hero drivers. Or would i need HTC's sourcecode for that?
And another question. Nexus One will run a plain vanilla build, as it has no proprietary drivers, or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well, I'm still an Android noob, but I know that you might be able to run the 2.2 SDK dump on the Hero. And when the source comes out, I'm sure the boys over at Hero Development will give you a good release. But if I'm wrong, sorry.
Think so, it should be a little while. The only reason ASOP wasn't good for the Hero was because the source for .29 kernel was never released by HTC. Now that the community has .29 source code, and with Cyanogen able to move to the newer kernel (his kernel is already Froyo compatible version wise), it's better than before.
Donut, Eclair need .29
Froyo needs .32
Check wikipedia
If its a CDMA Sprint Hero, you are in luck...

When we were on 2.1 there were lots of CM roms. Is 2.6.29 kernel going to make problems for devs to implement a CM rom?
Yup it will be ..i think everyone is waitin for DoomLord's Kernel ... as soon as he develops it then.... its the Start everyone's waiting for !!
Hope u got a bit ..
Thank me if it did!!
The FreeXperia Project.
Z, J and B are developing the CM7.
FXP012 released now.

these brilliant guys need time.
Having 2.3.3 made no difference in FreeXperia. Hope new kernel appears soon. I prefer CM specially because of its great support for RTL languages.

If you want a custom rom with all functions like stock but much faster&smoother, then you should maybe try the rom from the thread in my signature until cm7 is ready fully functional. Only thing missing is wifi tethering in this rom.

Thanks Lucas for your suggestions. I've been on WB since day one and I'm very happy with WB. I just prefer CM7 thats all, and I'll be waiting for this forums great devs to implement in our device.
There are a lot already!
There are a lot of CM7 2.3.3+ already, the main problem is that until Kernel sources for GB is released camera and other stuff won't work at max or won't work at all.
exactly.
So we have to wait again. ;-)
Not sure if this is the proper forum for the question, but since it is a general question, and I did try searching other sub-forums first, here goes. If this belongs in a different sub-forum, would a mod please move it.
I have read/heard of kernel v2.6.x having bugs in it. What are the chances of Android getting kernel v3.0.x? What would need to be done? Is it even feasible? What would be the pro/con of building a v3.0.x kernel? Would our phones perform better or worse with v3.0.x?
I've seen experimental roms with kernel 3.0 but unfortunately not for my DHD, don't ask me where and for what phone I don't really remember
google it, I'm sure you'll find it.. (also I don't know what changes brings along )
It will longer the battery life, i read somewhere. But i saw 3.0 kernel only on galaxy nexus for now. Waiting too
just buy smartphone with ICS and test it ))) There is 3.* kernel
Well I am working on beagleboard-xm project, where I am supposed to upgrade the current Android version to ICS. The thing is, I have to keep the current kernel , because it is customized for some applications that run on that board. It is not me that compiled that kernel...
Is it even possible to keep the "old" kernel and upgrade to ICS? Can it be done in any way? Or a new kernel with new patches has to be installed...?
Thank you! :good:

i don't think it'll be possible for you to use the GB kernel for ICS
I used to have an HTC Desire S. After ICS was released all 4.0 roms on that phone used a modified gingerbread kernel for months, any attempt by the devs to use their own ICS kernel failed. I believe that HTC have now released the ICS kernel but it would be a good place to look. If I remember correctly the main devs for the phone I used were "superkid" and "mdeejay".
I now have a g nexus so can't give you more up to date info.
Since the newest thread with a similar title is from December last year, I'm starting a new one.
I've set a goal to port a Sense 3.6 ROM from the HTC Rezound to my Sony Xperia S.
I'll be using this tutorial; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
So far, I only have data.
The Rezound ROM is ICS, so I'll be using CM9 for BASE.
But from my experience, Xperia ROMs always have an additional folder that no other manufacturer has.
Question here is, do I send that folder to PORTED or do I leave it out? Last time I tried this (with an AOSP ROM, it didn't matter 'cause it wouldn't boot up anyways...)
Another thing that worries me is whether radios will ever work. I know the chipset is exactly the same in both phones, but the Rezound is a CDMA device. Or is it? I have no idea, but I know I read everything I could on the Rezound.
So if anyone could please answer these questions, I'll be moving onto porting.
Thanks!
I think to get that working you really need some skills. The sense project for xperia is stuck in the nirvana
But good luck
You could try to build one rom including the folder and one without it. I'm not sure because I don't know which files are stored in that folder...
