Shimp208's Guide to Finding the Kernel Source Code for your Device
Introduction
I see a lot of people asking how to start make custom kernels (This is well beyond the scope of this guide, for a great introduction check out Building Your First Kernel), or I want to port CM, AOKP, AOSP, etc. to my device. Well that great except you can’t begin to make a custom kernel or truly port CM, AOKP, AOSP, etc. without the appropriate kernel source code for your device. The following list tells you where you can find the kernel source code (Among other bits and pieces of code essential to development) for your device based on your manufacturer, as well as some other places to look for kernel sources.
Please Note: Not all manufactures release their kernel sources, and not all kernel sources are released for every device

Micromax uses qualcomm chipsets. You can find their kernel here. Just look at your device's build.prop for ro.product.board. For example, my Micromax A57 uses msm7627a chipset.
Nice find I didn't realize that micromax used qualcomm I have that link in the op though already. Still great find though

Mediatek
Any kernel sources publicly available for Mediatek SOCs MT(K) 6575 6577 6583 6588 ? I couldn't find anything Is Mediatek open source friendly ?
PS: I ask this because I consider buying a dual sim dual active android phone and best bang for the buck seems to be offered by MT6577 devices like ZTE Grand X (V970), Huawei Ascend G500 (U8836D,U8832D) and many other chinese phones.
Also, devices based on MT658x started appearing on the market too.

It seems Mediatek is not that open source friendly, the small bits and pieces I could find on Mediatek SOC's were long outdated or really incomplete sources.

Damn
I found few customized roms for Mediatek based phones....but virualy all of them use stock unmodified kernels form manufacturers.
Did any developer (interested in Mediatek based phones) tried to contact Mediatek regarding support policy for their SOCs ? The strange thing is that, although most mediatek based phones target Asia (China, India, etc), virtually all asian developers around xda-forum seems to target high end international phone models based on more widely spread SOCs. I wonder if this is related to poor SOC support from Mediatek or just poor phones quality. Probably first one .
---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------
When I'll have enough posts to be able to post in devel section of the forum I'll try to contact Bruno Martin ( bgcngm ), the guy who released customized roms for both ZTE V970 and Huawei U8836D, maybe he have more details about Mediatek and this 2 phones.
How about MTK Kernel Source

Hello Guys,
I see a lot of threads for starting with android rom development, but can anyone give me pointers for kernel development? I would like to start kernel development and do not know where to start. I am not interested in rom development at the moment, but that is because I assume that the android rom is like a user space app over the kernel. Please correct me if I am wrong. It would be great if you guys could point me to some beginner friendly kernel development tutorials. I am looking through Linux Device Drivers (LDD) book but am having a hard time comparing that with android. I have cloned mediatek 6589 source from android repository. I am submitting partial url cos I am not allowed to submit full url yet. URL(android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/+/android-5.1.0_r0.2) since I am running a mtk6589 device (Walton X1/ Gionee Dream D1) and would like to understand where to start coding kernels for android. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and I would like mediatek specific help if possible. I have gone through some of the general kernel building and overclocking tutorials. I want to do some more enhancements if possible. Since mediatek seems to be the mysterious one with bare minimum source availability, I would like to take up that challenge
Thanks.
I don't have a tutorial for you but a small checklist. You need:
* Kernel source tree
* A config for your device (e.g. arch/arm/configs/*defconfig*)
* A cross compiler toolchain to generate ARM code (you can use the precompiled one from the Android source tree)
* A way to package your kernel into a boot image for your device - usually an Android boot image contains a compiled kernel (zImage), a compressed ramdisk for the root filesystem, and probably a device tree binary (dtb). Mediatek may do things differently.
* A way to install that boot image on your device - this requires an unlocked bootloader that allows custom boot images to be installed and started. Most devices use the fastboot tool for this.
Your first step should be to build a working kernel from unmodified sources. When you got that working, you can think about starting actual coding.
Thanks for the Pointer Mate

Thanks man. Really appreciate the pointers. I do have some of the checklists done. Like

** A cross compiler toolchain to generate ARM code (using the precompiled one)

Now the problem is, my device still does not have its source code available. I got the general source tree from google which is not my device's so I dont have the defconfig. Is there a way to rip it out from a compiled kernel? Like using some sort of a decompiler? Also I will look around for zimage packaging tools. Thanks mate. Mediatek is apparently one hell of a problem child XD

If you're lucky, your existing kernel exposes its config in the file /proc/config.gz. If not, I don't know how to get a matching config - best is to avoid buying anything from GPL violators.
I have a cheap Polaroid tablet P902/A900 made by Southern Telecom with a rockchip processor.
I want to compile a custom recovery for it but the kernel source is not available on their website and they are ignoring my requests via email and their support forms.
Is there anything that I can do to get it?
I thought that due to the GPL, the kernel source had to be available for all android devices.
Is that not the case?

Are you just stating the fact that it isn't available for all devices or are you saying that the android kernel is not GPL and that kernel source doesn't have to made available for all devices?

OK. Thanks.
However, they are supposed to as part of the GPL though right?
I found this snippet on the CyanogenMod wiki saying as much http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro#Collect_any_available_existing_source_code
It makes the GPL seem a bit impotent if manufacturers can flaunt the license terms as they please.

not all oem will release their source code in fact,some well known device manufacturer will release their source code and some unknown device or unpopular device (sorry but no sorry) will not because it is costly and not free,it depends on many factor, so the source code you requested from the manufacturer may or may not got released through their website.
Hello guys.
This question is specially for devs or advanced users with development skills.
My question is related to the kernel source of one of my devices, Huawei Mediapad T1 10 (codename: hwt1a21l). I got the kernel source from the oficial Huawei website and uploaded it to a github repo. My device, which has a msm8916 chiset, doesn't have any development (roms, recoveries, device tree, etc) and his rom, EMUI 3.0, is based on Kit Kat 4.4.2.
I have been trying to bring development for this tablet many months ago because the stock rom is too deprecated for the hardware that has, with the msm8916 there is a huge potential to bring it a lot of development.
Well, i'm going to summarize my problems when trying to bring development for the device:
To get started development, for example a LineageOS build i needed a solid base to start with: device tree, propietary blobs and kernel source, so i got all of them. I ported the device tree from another one very similar to mine (with the same chipset), extracted the propietary blobs with the build tools from the source and got the kernel source from the Huawei website. So everything seemed to be good, but when i start the build process with my Linux machine (repo sync > source build/envsetup.sh > breakfast hwt1a21l > brunch hwt1a21l) i always receive thousands of build error by the kernel source, and i have been fixing (or at least avoid) a lot of them but it never ends, so i don't know if it's worth to keep trying to "fix" them or if i'm wasting my time.
So, what i have been trying to do: i have been trying to build a LineageOS 14.1 and TWRP recovery with my device tree This: Mustang-ssc/android_device_huawei_msm8916-common ported from this one from @dianlujitao : dianlujitao/android_device_huawei_msm8916-common and the specific kernel source for my device downloaded from the Huawei website Mustang-ssc/android_kernel_huawei_hwt1a21l. Here ends the summary.
So after a lot of hours, days and nights over the last months trying to make progress with this and not getting any help from the few devs i asked after seeing my lack of progress i decided to publicly ask for help.
The questions:
1. I have the official kernel source (Mustang-ssc/android_kernel_huawei_hwt1a21l) which i didn't have success to compile it, and then i saw the kernel source from a device almost identical to mine (same chipset, brand, ram, ...) (dianlujitao/android_kernel_huawei_msm8916). Can i use that kernel source as a base for my device after porting the specific configurations of my official kernel source (defconfig, drivers, libraries)? That one is much more updated and probably optimized than mine, but i don't know if it's possible to adapt a kernel source from other device using your kernel source.
2. This may be a dumb question: my device has Kit Kat 4.4.2. Is there any link between the kernel source and the android version the device has? I mean, i don't know if i should do something to adapt my kernel source for newer android versions (Marshmallow, Nougat) of if it's ok to just build with it without any change.
If you read it all, congratulations, you're awesome
Still waiting for a reply
Where can I found the source code for build android for Alcatel pop c7 ?
I wrote a whole piece on how you could contact them, but they actualy shared sources for alott of their phone's and such already.
But that doesnt make it a ready 1-2-3 step compile android for yourself Ow no, Alcatel like many companies only comply by the licenses to share any source they used or modifications they made if required by lisences. If they have a NDA with Mediatek (wich they do) they are probably not required to include proprietary software, tools or sources they got from mediatek.
Think mediatek chipset specific header files, drivers, firmware (only binairy blobs might be shared). maybe they share enough for you to compile a working kernel and filesystem, but no signing keys, maybe the resulting files will run on a rooted, Custom firmware phone but No updates, some hardware not working, maybe the phone funstion doesnt work (due to missing specific code to use the mobile chipset).
Quick google, Alcatel shared it on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/ search for (ctr+f)
Code:
OT_7041_20141204.tar.xz
A quick look inside reveals alott of the expected sources, generic hardware support and specific drivers (in blob form it seems). A readme with instructions seem to be included, but very basic,
So, here you go. The "sourcecode". all 162MB of it. or go search on Baidu, maybe an ex dev leaked internl documents and firmware sources :fingers-crossed: maybe this is just what you needed, enjoy
Lenovo is the only company to have released an Android Nougat update for an Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoC powered device.
If Lenovo releases the kernel sources for the Android N version created for its Lenovo Yoga Book (Lenovo YB1-X90F/L), developers can start working on Android N upgrades for other devices powered by the Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoCs.
Lenovo has previously released the Android Marshmallow kernel sources for the Yoga Book (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-book/downloads/ds118515 Thus it shouldn't be a problem abiding by the General Public License v2 (GPLv2), which requires Android device makers to publish the kernel source code.
Please consider signing here: https://www.change.org/p/lenovo-kernel-sources-for-lenovo-yoga-book-android-n-7-1-1 . Thank you
True, we really Need to make Lenovo release the source Code, i hope you could edit your Petition by adding that also we Need Infos about how to use the source Code.
Greetings
I'm not sure that it would make a difference, but has anyone tried posting on their support forums or contacting them directly?
It might help our case to note that the device (the Android version, anyway) has been discontinued. I doubt we'll see any further official updates from Lenovo.
Take a look , Hope this will work for you:

Only via Facebook. Got this answer:
"Thanks for reaching out. Currently, this the only open source http://lnv.gy/2DMoObI we have for Yoga Book. You can keep an eye on the support website as it will be updated if a new open source will be released. Let us know if you have other inquiries."
Feel free to post the link to the petition on the Lenovo forums or even ask them via Facebook/scoial media. The more attention, the greater the chances.
