Okay, I managed to fix the sources and got it compiled.
This is based on 4.06/4.08 sources with 4.08 ramdisk.
Use it at your own risk. If you brick your phone, it will be your fault, not mine.
I do not own a Dell Venue and therefore cannot test this.
zImage :
fastboot flash zimage zImage
fastboot reboot

Thanks.
Yes, we would.
Cool, right now I have a hard time finding the right defconfig.
In case someone could point me to the right file :

Edit :
It seems to be codenamed "toucan".

Venue have Custom Kernel! I have one
Kinda busy right now working on my own device but you can contribute if ya want. github.com/adridu59
I'm excited about this topic! Please keep me up to date with this. BTW, I also think that v4.06 source from Dell OpenSource is crappy. Could you please public your change list after you complete the work, it's very helpful to us.

Well check my github, I haven't worked on this for a while but I'm not letting it down.
First build on first post, follow instructions. Thanks.
406 and 408 apparently use the same kernel according to dell. Though we've had the suspicion that there were differences, apparently there isnt.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. And otherwise they would've published the sources.
I tried to flash your zImage, what I received is "Flashing Error -2", in red background in fast boot mode.
BTW, I would like to ask the way you build the kernel. Did you build directly from /kernel folder (with .config), or you build from ROM's source tree (/kernel folder's parent, using "build/envsetup", then "choosecombo")? I would like to get my hands dirty with this work too!
If my dev pc wasnt broken at the moment, I could glue it together with the stock ramdisk and make a flashable zip.
Here's the stock 408 kernel: boot-408.img
You can glue it together with that ram disk if desired, but shouldnt it also generate a ramdisk when building the kernel?
Just as much the ramdisk's contents arnt that unusual, you could prob guess at a few things and reconstruct it without issue.

I just use the corresponding defconfig, that is the usual way to do it.
I don't really see what you mean by ROM source tree...

Nao, the ramdisk isn't compiled code. Usually you extract it from the stock kernel and build with mkbootimg or any similar tool.
Thanks for the link BTW.

Sorry for not making it clear. By saying "from ROM source tree", I mean the way below (ftp.dell.com/opensource/venue/v4.06/Venue-HOW-TO-BUILD.txt)
Code:
kernel
1) download source tree of android froyo from Qualcomm.
2) replace kernel
3) build kernel by
. build/envsetup.sh
choosecombo
...
5) make -j4 kernel
# update on 4/27/2012 - 23:18 GMT+7
I built an update.zip, with all the files including boot.img and system/lib/modules. What I got is, the Dell logo is hung there like being fallen into an infinite loop.

See the Aries kernel tree on my github. Its a slightly modified version of the cyanogenmod tree, and includes a build script and initramfs so syncing the entire source tree isn't necessary to build from it.

NP. Iirc, I originally added the scripts after you asked me about it a few months back
All you should have to do is clone the repo, and then run the build.sh script that's included. It will download the right toolchain for you, build the initramfs archives and then compile the kernel.
I also set it up to create a flashable zip with the new kernel and modules, so the build script should handle all the essential steps automatically.

haha yeah, cause a few months back you said i had to sync the whole source.

but that's definitely awesome. it makes it easier on us all.
This thread is NOT for general Q & A about using the kernel or configuring a specific version.
This thread IS for sharing source code or attempting to apply debugging to code changes.
In English: This is what a development thread really looks like. No downloads, No user manual.
Note to Mods: OT is welcome, so long as it is relevant to the kernel developer experience
Building the kernel 101:
A clean branch with only the build tools, ramdisks, and MacOS updates is at:
https://github.com/StarKissed/starkissed-kernel-trlte/tree/master
The stockish branch adds Linux patches, mainline updates, and SELinux mods
The deported branch is the customized version described in the OP feature list
You are going to need a few things, especially if building this kernel for MacOS.
GCC 4.7 (This is the version Samsung's documentation listed)
An updated mkbootimg (Must have DTS support)
A dtbtool (Included in the source, but only for Linux)
Insomnia (Not a requirement, but it will help you in the long run)
For MacOS, the tools are available from the following repositories:
https://github.com/StarKissed/android-toolchain-eabi-4.7
https://github.com/StarKissed/starkissed-build-tools
Let's jump ahead a moment for those of you who have built kernels and notice your boot.img is only around 11 MB while the versions you see listed here are all roughly 14 MB. This is where the new mkbootimg and dtbtool are necessary.
Attempting to retrieve the commandline arguments from the boot.img will not tell you one important piece:
Code:
./dtbtool -o dt.img -s 4096 -p ../scripts/dtc/ ../arch/arm/boot/dts/
chmod a+r dt.img
mkbootfs (ramdisk creation)
mkbootimg (mkbootimg params) --dt dt.img
This takes the DTSI that was built into a dtb as one of the first steps in the compile process and turns it into an image that is appended to the end of the boot.img. The dt.img just happens to be about 3 MB. (11 MB + 3 MB = 14 MB)
If you grabbed the original Samsung kernel source, you may notice that their default compile script directs the build to an "out" folder in the root of the kernel directory.
The obvious advantage to this is that their clean command runs into some errors, so the clean process is simply deleting the "out" folder and making a new one.
This doesn't work for a lot of the custom components you may want to add to your kernel, though. Some modifications, such as intelli-thermal, rely on a subdirectory that is referenced in the Makefile.
Building to this out folder will result in an error because it cannot find the output of that component, but building in the tree, or actual source, will also result in an error. The lesser of two evils is to fix in-tree builds.
Code:
Instructions for TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE in include/trace/define_trace.h say
"the path is relative to define_trace.h, not the file including it".
Fix in-tree compilation by making the path relative to define_trace.h.
What this means is that when you have a line that refers to the TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH or an include reference to a file that uses a relative location instead of a global, these need to be updated
The only two files that currently require updates in the stock source code are
Code:
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs_test.c
#include -> #include "../sd.h"
and
Code:
drivers/video/msm/mdss/mdss_mdp_trace.h
#define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH . -> #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH ../../drivers/video/msm/mdss/
If you want to be able to debug your kernel, you will need to enable last_kmsg.
Open up the arch/arm/configs/apq8084_sec_defconfig and add
Code:
CONFIG_SEC_DEBUG_NOCACHE_LOG_IN_LEVEL_LOW=y
CONFIG_PRINTK_PROCESS=y
CONFIG_SEC_DEBUG_LOW_LOG=y
More to come soon...
This is a great idea!

I use git am -3 so that any issue defaults to a merge then git mergetool to resolve it.

That is exactly what I just merged in so the "D" that wont boot for you is pretty much the same thing, lol. See what happens on the "C" version which is stock N910F ramdisk.
I will shortly be the owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915S (Korean Exynos 5433) device and have downloaded the kernel sources and successfully compiled the zImage.
The problem is:
After compile the zImage, I think I will need a Exynos 5433 dtbTool binary to create a master dt.img for boot.img re-pack. (There is a dt.img inside the stock boot.img). I have tried the qualcomm dtbTool but it shows 0 images. Although I'm just a "hack" and don't profess to be a Dev, my build environment is setup correctly as I've built many Exynos and also Qualcomm kernels (with dt.img) in the past.,
One thing I do notice though is that 5433 is not found in SM-N915-SkyHigh-Kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile , all Exynos are commented out. Maybe they need to be added in as well so any working dtbTool will make the dt.img ?
In my defconfig (not committed to github), I try also with
Code:
CONFIG_BUILD_ARM_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE=y
CONFIG_BUILD_ARM_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE_NAMES=""
If anyone [ @AndreiLux - @ketut.kumajaya - @xiaolu ] could please share a suitabe Exynos 5433 dtbTool binary or further guidance would be much appreciated.
Why would you even do this. The kernel image is a normal image as has always been AFAIK.
Not a real solution for you but some great information: https://github.com/kumajaya/android_kernel_samsung_universal5422/blob/master/README.md, https://github.com/kumajaya/android...mmit/26a6298340a2ff09fd00fad8ca53c32118a1527a, and https://github.com/kumajaya/mkdtbhbootimg

My SM-T705 5420 kernel doesn't have a dt.img
within the stock boot.img, the SM-N915S does. As i said, Qualcomm Note 3 N9005 was similar having the dt.img and requiring it made after compiling zImage. It needed to be included with boot.img for OC functions etc to work. I was thinking the same thing for the 5433, but doesn't look like it.

Thanks, I'll take a read tomorrow and upload the stock boot.img if needed.
I've just managed to compile a basic kernel and re-pack into stock ramdisk + dt.img using the mkbootimg_dtb binary and flashed successfully. Haven't tried yet whether it'll flash without the dt.img though.
Just wonder what's the use of it when nothing is made in kernel source?
Thanks for sparing your time guys, , appreciated.

Fingers and toes crossed here. Far beyond my comprehension, but of course keen to know of more development.
Hello,
This is a stock SeLinux permissive kernel and init.d activated for Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (N915F) for Lollipop 5.0.1.
There are inputs that is working also on N915FY.
The kernel was compiled from Samsung source LL_CIS kernel using Google toolcahin v4.8.
If you want to test it, please flash in cwm the attached file and report back. Please make a backup of your actual kernel (boot.img) befor flashing this one.
Special thanks to @Micky387 who advised me to update the source kernel (MH driverI), @Wuby986 for his support and guidance and @daxgirl for his advices.
My kernel source for N915F (N915FOXE1BOC6) is here.
Happy flashing.
PS. Kernel updated. Same functionality but some different info in "About".
Well you got further than I did .. Kept getting some driver file referenced so it would not complied.. Thanks for effort I hope you work it out soon.. Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment ..

Hello,
Since few days I struggle to build a SeLinux permissive kernel for Samsung Galaxy Note Edge with Lollipop 5.0.1 but without success. Or with partial success.
I followed several guides from xda and other sites but it seems that everyone has his different way of doing it.
What I have done so far:
- I installed Ubuntu 14.04 with all updates and apt-get xxx
- I installed the Google toolchain arm-eabi-4.8
- I Installed Samsung kernel source for N915F_CIS from here
- I changed the path to the toolchain in Makefile and build_kernel.sh
- I run from kernel source folder: ./build_kernel.sh
- After 10-15 min of compilation I get a zImage file in //output/arch/arm/boot of ~ 9.8 Mb
- Using Android Image Kitchen v2.2 I integrated the zImage into a boot.img to be flashed with cwm
I flashed this new boot.img but the phone is rebooting every minute and in about I have "unknown"as baseband.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.

So be sure you are this commit https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/784aa9a84b77090fa591bff77045341c3e3c6293
and add MHI module into tblte_defconfig
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/1dd44659ee26c2d8b313c1346192e2bfa2ac7bb9
dont delete 18 and 19 line if you build for TW rom .

Bonjour Mickey,
Thank you for your advice. I'll try it and let you know how it goes. Do you know if I have to flash also the modules together with the new kernel or only the boot.img alone ?

No need to flash module. The MHI module will be in the kernel so you have boot.img with all inside.

What I have done so far:
- I installed Ubuntu 14.04 with all updates and apt-get xxx
- I installed the Google toolchain arm-eabi-4.8
- I Installed Samsung kernel source for N915F_CIS from here
- I changed the path to the toolchain in Makefile and build_kernel.sh
- I run from kernel source folder: ./build_kernel.sh
- After 10-15 min of compilation I get a zImage file in //output/arch/arm/boot of ~ 9.8 Mb
- Using Android Image Kitchen v2.2 I integrated the zImage into a boot.img to be flashed with cwm
I flashed this new boot.img but the phone is rebooting every minute and in about I have "unknown"as baseband.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Wait one more day..
Or maybe earlier
Finally done.
Make backup of your actual kernel, flash the attached zip from post 1in cwm and please report back.I didn't check the init.d support but it should work.
Good, I'll try.
Dev.
Just a small request please.
If you could please make sure a link to YOUR kernel sources in OP.
Any Linux kernel publicly released must have source to compile the exact binary (zImage) as repacked into your distributed boot.img. This must be current at time of every released version.
This is not just a XDA rule, but a legal GPL requirement, applying to all, even if modification is only minor. This is open-source
I would suggest the use of a github repo that helps keep track of your changes (commits), promotes open transparency, sharing and colaboration
If you have any questions on how to go about this, i would be happy to help via pm (but currently away with work), but would suggest to contact our friendly forum Mod.
Best of luck with your project. :thumbup:
Cheers.
UITA
Any chance that you would be willing to make this kernel compatible with the Sprint variety? Man.... I need my viper4android bro. Please. Lol

Thank you for your advices.The link to Samsung kernel source was already there . Anyway, I added it one more time just to be sure that is more visible.
For the github repo, I have to create an account and then I'll upload the files.
Best regards.
Well done mate ..... Yea

Boot and works fine , nice one
Can this be used on N915FY as well?
I don't have any reports from N915FY users. You can try and tell us
Don't forget to make a backup first.

Hey, no problem.
Just to clarify....
If you've made any (even minor) change to "Samsung" source, then you have to upload "your" complete source and link "your" source, not "Samsung" So if you've made the kernel permissive or even use a different toolchain or path, technically you have modified from original and is now "your" source If you use a custom defconfig, don't forget it too
github is well worth the pain I Google for answers all the time (how to do this and that), but still screw things up (sometimes majorly) now and then.

Using this kernel with a N915FY. Great job btw I can finally use viper audio which I've missed so much. Major props dude!
I'm gonna flash this on sprint variant either that or throw this device out my window

Lol it booted just no data. Yaaayyy!!!
I see that there are other people who are interested in Selinux permissive kernels.
So, if you want, I can add selinux permissive to any samsung kernel as long as you provide me 2 files: your original kernel (boot.img) from the ROM you want to flash and the Kernel.tar.gz - source kernel from Samsung site. In order to get Kernel.tar.gz file you'll need to download the kernel source file (~ 1Gb) from Samsung site, open the archive and upload ONLY the Kernel.tar.gz (~ 100-150 Mb) and the readme file from the archive to some sharing site. Then, I'll try to compile that kernel for you.
There are also downsides. I cannot stay up to date will all new commits done to the kernel source so I'll compile your kernels only with info that I have at that date. If you fork the github and find kernel source updates, I can add them.
PS. I only set up a working PC with Ubuntu and Google toolchain v4.8. If you find any information that this setup is not suitable for compiling your kernel, then there is no point of providing me the above files.
Best regards.
OP updated with some Antutu screen shots.
Hello there.
Here is device tree:
DOWNLOAD from My github.
It is in Alpha (developers) release as probably You will need to fix few errors by hand....but, anyway, someone must to start with something....
Kernel is in this moment not released by HTC, but We can do some things with prebuilt kernel.
PREPARATION:
Please, after You pull it inside cm-13 source, GET VENDOR FILES by cd into device/htc/htc_a51ul and
Code:
./extract-files.sh
(with connected phone in adb enabled mode)
Second, please comment out in BoardConfig.mk following line:
Code:
TW_THEME := pure4
and uncomment:
Code:
TW_THEME := portrait_hdpi
as I wasn't release yet pure4 design skin to github.
Third, if You cannot handle "BSP" (and it's about 99% that You can't ) comment out:
Code:
TARGET_USES_QCOM_BSP := true
and remove flag
Code:
-DQCOM_BSP
from COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS
Then You are ready to build (until first error come)
PLEASE, don't take advantage with this if You really don't know how to handle errors as I will NOT help or respond on PM's regarding help about building this.
When something come up, will make post/and/or attach possible working image.
Cheers
EDIT1: dts is attached, so if someone like to play with kernel... Check it out. I will put changes to 64bit kernel on My github soon with this device tree.
EDIT2: kernel is updated. You can grab it on MY GITHUB
EDIT3: BoardConfig.mk is changed, so no need to change twrp skin and BSP (steps second and third).
Thank you, btw. great job!
Great beginning!
So, things changed... Kernel updated, device tree updated, read.me updated.
Please be free to pull Kernel and make changes so We can got it working. I was made first steps and don't have so much time to make all this together work but if few of dev's come aboard and take work, We can make it work soon.
So i am quite interested in this device, don't own it yet so @fergy would appriciate it, if you could push vendor (too much work to do it all manually, especially the makefile ).
Thanks.
List of vendor files are under my github device tree... When you extract files, makefile will be builded under vendor/htc/devicename

I know that, but since i don't own the device i can't pull blobs using the script (obviously), so it would be awesome if you could create the vendor (run the script), git init and push
btw i remade the device tree based on the htc a5, looks much better now: https://github.com/Thecrazyskull/device_htc_a51ul
Thanks.

I pretty much lost interest, especially since i dont want to develop without owning the device.

Its a pain for myself, and i don't wanna go through that so i won't be developing for this device anymore unless i can get my hands on one (very unlikely)
