Take the prebuilt's and the tools from any cm10/aosp source and place in ramdisk folder!
Linux
Code:
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../ramdisk.img | cpio -i
cd ..
mv ramdisk.img ramdisk.bak
./mkbootfs ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk.img
./mkshbootimg.py boot.img kernel ramdisk.img ramdisk-recovery.img

Did you tell QuBe2 that?

he told me " I cant build kernels i need a kernel dev to do a edit to a cm9 kernel" before i posted this thread
but i just told him about this edit. hopefully this is it

So does that break Sense or something? Why not use the old layout? I'm sure people would forfeit the new layout for Sense

NO! Was implying it would run much better and be much easier on the new partition layout!
I myself was planning on attempting it again on the new layout but I sorta picked up extra work I wasn't planning on! Plus, somebody bricked my HTC dev phone.... :laugh:

Ahhhh I see! Hey! You should talk to xboxfanj; he's been trying to get Sense 2.1 to boot on the fassy for a while now but hasn't been successful, tell him about the new partition layout and it should help him get 4.0 working for our phones! I'd be glad to test out for a dev duo like that

My preferred method is to just do everything within the cm build directory. The only thing that needs modification is init.rc, so copy the sense init.rc to system/core/rootdir of the cm directory. Then build and get the boot.img from the zip. It takes awhile, but it's the most reliable method for Galaxy S devices (on others, you can easily just use kitchens). In other news, if someone could please test and logcat this Sense 2.1 ROM, I would appreciate it http://darkierawr.com/Android/Users/xboxfanj/FascinateSensemediafix.zip
istealhome, its a newer build than the one before at rootzwiki.

this wouldnt work on the showcase right?

It would still boot most likely on the showcase if it does on the fascinate. I think kernels should be interchangable.

Well you could do that if you have the repo as well...
You could also save yourself some time by running "make bootimage"!

Experimental .34-rc2 Kernel

NEW:
Working .34-rc3 kernel available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6290443&postcount=45
OLD:
Code:
This is an experimental .34-rc2 kernel for the Nexus One.
Provided in the zip file is a folder (2.6.34-rc2-termana-nexusone) and the kernel (zImage).
It is extremely experimental, so only follow this if you [B][I][U]really[/U][/I][/B] know what your doing and know how to reflash another kernel back to make it boot again if it doesn't boot. I'm not responsible if your device curls over and dies.
Use adb to push the folder into /system/lib/modules/ and then use fastboot to flash the kernel.
The kernel is a rebase of cyanogen's .33.1 kernel to the latest .34-rc2 kernel. So nothing particularly new about it, besides the satisfaction that not many people would be running this kernel version on devices.
Zip file: bit.ly/94Oo6m (To download it click the link next to the text "Save file to your PC:")
Edit: Being a new member of xda-developers forum, it wouldn't let me post the link properly, but just copy and paste it and you'll be fine.
what folder are you talking about that needs to be pushed into /system/lib/modules/
there's only one folder in 2.6.34-rc2-termana-nexusone folder and that's kernel
also, is this kernel undervolted/overclocked/audio boost? can you give more info on the kernel itself?
thanks

You have to push the 2.6.34-rc2-termana-nexusone folder, the whole thing, THAT folder, so that you end up with the a folder in /system/lib/modules called 2.6.34-rc2-termana-nexusone. There are no changes regarding undervolting, overclocking or audio boosting (unless cyanogen's kernel has included one of these) - but for general kernel changes jlevy73 provided a link to the mainline changelog.

You sure that wouldn't create a folder within a folder?
Not really sure just saying...
So is this working for you Termana?
I tried both have the subfolder and just pushing all the files to /modules and both produced a bootloop
i pushed the folder to /system/lib/modules/ and flashed zimage, but just get bootloop
I should of been more clear. I released the kernel as extremely experimental as I don't have a Nexus One yet to test it on. I will be obtaining one in April/May some time. However, if people are willing to help me test these kernels, I will keep building and changing things until we get something that works. If no wants to help at all, then I will just wait until I obtain one to do any of this kind of work.
So if anyone does want to test, I will be doing another compile in the next day or two to be tested.
I seriously thought, you tested it on your Nex before posting it....was a missunderstanding.

You might need to rephrase your question as the way you've said it doesn't let me know exactly what you mean by "ARM source". Do you mean using the Android ARM toolchain or what?
To anyone that is willing to help me test:
New build available at - bit.ly/c1tFqg (just the zImage, don't worry about pushing the modules for now)
Info:
This is a .33.1 kernel not a .34-rc2 kernel HOWEVER, I wanted to get the source that I'm rebasing off tested to make sure it boots, because if the source I'm pulling from doesn't boot, then obviously my rebases aren't going to either. So, please test it and tell me if it boots, if it does, I'll have another .34-rc2 kernel build up shortly after. If it doesn't, I may have to try rebasing from the official .32 kernel rather than the current source I'm rebasing from at the moment (which is .33.1).
Booted for me.
Code:
2.6.33.1-cyanogenmod

[STOCK][KERNEL]UCKH7 stock zImage dump

I managed to root my device by rooting one of the system dumps. With this I was able to pull our stock kernel.
The file is attached below, zipped so that the forum will allow it to be posted.
This is NOT a valid CWM flashable zip, do not try to flash it from CWM because it will not work! If you want to flash this kernel to return your device's kernel to stock, the following method has been tested:
Unzip the file, run the following command - this assumes that you have the commandline version of Heimdall installed.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Next up - extracting the initramfs and posting that to github.
Here is the initramfs from your kernel link.

Indeterminate yet. Depends on:

2) Google Wallet support
If the GPS isn't a major improvement and GW doesn't work with the NFC chip in this device, I can't justify the cost of upgrading. I've got 30 days.

As far as I can tell it's enabled in the stock kernel. So what's missing is in userland. It may be as simple as a market filtering issue.

That's pretty much part of the kernel (I consider initramfs part of the kernel) and just handling device permissions.

[Kernel] Vigor ICS 3.0.16 v1.1 [Unsupported/Links Removed]

Hey guys, we have here a kernel built from the kernel source HTC released on 8/29/12 for Vigor. This kernel is a modified version of what came in the Official 3.14.605.12 ICS OTA except it is built from HTC's kernel source release. What else can I say?
Bugs:
-?
Current features:
Perflock Disabled
Fast charge enabled using any power source - Thanks to Chad, I used his commits as a reference
Download:
Link Removed
Download Global OTA Compatible Version (Thanks to MicroMod for making it happen
Link Removed
Install:
Place zip on sd
Reboot to recovery (I use amon)
Install from zip
Select the zip file
The file will flash and then the phone will reboot to hboot
Once there, simple press power to select bootloader
Accept the update
It will install
Reboot your phone
????
Enjoy
Don't forget to go delete the PH98IMG.zip from your SD Card after boot.
Disclaimers:
I won't be responsible for what you flash on your phone or any damge that could be caused. Always use caution when modifying any part of your device.

How to disable perflock in an HTC kernel through source
Simple, open you source. Open the arch/arm/configs. Find the file vigor_defcofig. Find the following lines:
Code:
CONFIG_PERFLOCK=y
CONFIG_PERFLOCK_BOOT_LOCK=y
Change them to:
Code:
# CONFIG_PERFLOCK is not set
# CONFIG_PERFLOCK_BOOT_LOCK is not set
Perflock is now disabled. Build your source
Changing the kernel name
Open the scripts folder in the root of your source. Find and open the file makecompile_h. Find the lines:
Code:
echo \#define LINUX_COMPILE_BY \"`echo $LINUX_COMPILE_BY | $UTS_TRUNCATE`\"
echo \#define LINUX_COMPILE_HOST \"`echo $LINUX_COMPILE_HOST | $UTS_TRUNCATE`\"
Edit how you want:
Code:
echo \#define LINUX_COMPILE_BY \"`echo wildstang83`\"
echo \#define LINUX_COMPILE_HOST \"`echo vigor-ics`\"
Enjoy
Is this a sense kernel? I know...but noobs should have heads up.

As far as I know, absolutely nothing. I could be wrong though. Some of you that remember the Incredible or Thunderbolt will remember how the kernel that was in the ota for those devices and the kernel source released after the ota were different. HTC had added in minor fixes to the kernel source release that was not in the ota. I don't know if that is the case here, just a thought though.
It's not different. Lmao read the title. Looking forward to see what come from this, stang

Exactly, we can assume this kernel is no different from the one in the OTA. Unless of course someone else can prove otherwise.

If built as is from source, I'd say yes. Give the devs some times, you'll see them come out with perflock removed.

Right, this kernel was not intended to be custom in anyway whatsoever. It is simply a kernel built from source. I know I like stock things, I'm sure others do as well.

Should be fairly simple to insure a Sense 4 version. Just grab a sense 4 boot.img like newtoroots or whatever, open it up in android kitchen and drop in the zimage from my kernel's zip. Repackage the boot.img and fastboot flash it. ant, you should try it

I don't know anything about your phone, but your zip file is incorrect.
You want to put all the files except META_INF into a folder called system. Look in META_INF/com/google/android/updater-script and you will see this is what the recovery is expecting.
Also, add a boot.img since it will try to flash that as well.
This is what the root directory of the zip file should look like:
Code:
[email protected]:/android/work/moto/zipper# ls
boot.img META-INF system

I read that thread a little- it looks like a lot of people trying different things. Also, use post numbers because it's page 17 on my computer
So, where did the updater-binary and script come from? The script has to match the rom, but I think the binary is a lot more forgiving. I think a binary from another ics or gb rom should work. Your phone uses yaffs, so maybe an older binary? I thought a lot of the ics devices were moving to ext3/4?
I think the stock recovery won't work. Usually, they will only accept zips that are signed by the manufacturer.

Flash at your own risk- I didn't read the thread and I wouldn't know you device from an iphone.
https://rapidshare.com/files/2281343112/xt615ics1.2_mod1.zip
I cleaned up the system and added the boot.img. if you can get the /etc/recovery.fstab from your recovery, it might help since the partitions might have different names.

thank you
i try and i say if work
does not work I toujour error status 0
I think that is an error with the update binary. Maybe you can get one from a similar phone? It should be pretty generic, as long as it uses a similar file system/android version. So try to find a binary from an ics device that uses yaffs/MTD.

yes works but the boot.img is bad thank you
I thought this was the stock firmware? Could you just put in a similar ics kernel and see if that works? A kernel from an ics moto phone might work, but you'll have to change the ramdisk.

the concern is that the bootloader is locked
and I think he does not want ics files
you have ideas on how to bypass the UNLOCK or
thank you again
Do you have a copy of a working boot.img or kernel? Even a dump from a running phone would work.

my boot.img
So the zip that I uploaded flashes, but it doesn't boot?
I think your working boot image is GB or Froyo and the new one is ICS. So maybe if I take the kernel from the ICS boot.img and add the ramdisk from your working one, then maybe it might work.
Maybe...
This is the new kernel with the old ramdisk. Again, flash at your own risk.

Porting project volunteers needed

Hello
I am thinking of porting a Galaxy S2 4.1.2 stock touchwiz jb rom to the galaxy player 5.0 probably using cm10 as a base.However, porting requires someone to modify the player 5.0 boot.img which I can't do and I can't compile a kernel as I don't know how to do so and I don't hav Linux.I can tell the volunteer what file in the ramdisk should be modified in order to possibly have a working s2 4.1.2 port.
So is there anyone with a player 5.0 willing to either unpack the player 5.0's boot.img or compile the kernel from source with the modification I will tell you?
This project may actually succeed with the help of the community so I hope that you can help.
Thanks

I can modify, the kernel source to load a ramdisk.cpio from a static folder... I was planning on doing that any way...:good:
All you would have to do is create a ramdisk.cpio with the cpio command, I think...

I made the change for the kernel to load external ramdisks:
https://github.com/Meticulus/nutell...mmit/e5e17f478018d84c866f7ec829c17e0272bf0231
here is a build of the kernel with this change and the current carbon ramdisk. You can use the "cpio" tool to make/extract/repack cpio ramdisks..:good:

Thanks
but when I'm using this command on Cygwin:
cpio -i -F ramdisk.cpio
I'm getting an error, bash: cpio command not found
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I tried it with WinRAR but it still didn't work, I've tried another tool but it didn't work ..
btw, is it just possible to place the init.rc file in the folder as that is the only file that has to be modified?

1. Linux on a virtual machine.
2. push the ramdisk to your player using adb. Then, use cpio in adb shell on device or terminal emulator.. :good:
