Hi everyone,
Now I am using the 7Linux rom 5.0 but I what to change the bootanimation with the Korean Android robot. I have tried to replace the bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg. But it failed aganist my expected.
I find this bootani.sh. Need I change the data inside. Anybody know about it?
First you need to find out if your kernel supports boot anim. If so then there are several apks that will change it my personal favorite being absolute system tools which has massive number of boot anims. Hope this helps

thansk for your reply. The kernel is linux#0.2.2-talon-dev, I am sure this kernel disables the original bootanimation. Can it be changed for using some commands or changing some special script or log in system?

not sure...best to ask over at talon thread
by the way, what rom are you using now?
I experienced Apex-7.2, EDB1.2, F1-SGS2-Vx-6, F1-JV-Mod-v9, etc, original JVP, 2.3.4 and JV5, JV6 Asian rom.

Hi
Thanks to all those out there making the 500 such a useful peice of gear. I am happy flashing the latest ROM's but havent seen anything specific on how to flash the Kernel seperately, anyone have an idiots guide please? ps i am happily using CWM for the flashing. - Thanks
I would love to have this guide too
For now I have compiled modules and kernel by using the acer kernel source and I want to reflash only the kernel + modules. Just need to have the MTP thing off or a complete modular USB gadget
Would this be possible ?
some notes
I've found a good notes on how to pack and repack the boot image which might be helpfull:

Heres what I did with thors v1 kernal.Put it on you external sd card and flash it in recovery didn't wipe anything.As for extracting kernals from other built rom I don't know but I'd like to know myself.
Hello!
This is a thread where potential developers can get kernel and platform source code for Samsung Galaxy S I9070 Advance, and other info. I will try to update this until we will have first custom rom ready. I encourage everybody with some experience with android development, to share their knowledge with other users here. Please if any of you will make any progress in rooting, making recovery or developing custom rom, to write here in this thread or even start a new one if some major break trough will be made.
Ok so here are the links to sources (I don't know the diference between those to, but I guess it is region related):
GTI9070_GB_OpenSoruce
GTI9070_LA_GB_OpenSoruce
All sources, can be found HERE.
In the attachment you can also find some other info I've pulled from my phone, which used to be rooted, cause I had some test version. I hope all this stuff will help us get root access, custom recovery and last but not least a whole bunch of custom roms.
NOW LETS HACKING AND DEVELOPING BEGIN!!!
One more thing, PLEASE take a minute to VOTE for this phone to get its own forum section here on XDA. Just make a post in THIS THREAD. The device is not in the poll yet, so you must write a post in thread. THANK YOU!
We've made a step into a right direction with a lot of help from forum I've made a working root method!
I've hard bricked my phone, so I am off the developemnt from this phone, only if by some chance I get a replacement. Sorry guys, in spirit of developing I've killed my phone .
I wish I was better at kernel development... I would love some development for this phone!

I've somehow managed to configure linux and pulled andorid sources from the repo, now I have to figured out how to compile a kernel. I have much to learn but if nobody else will give it a try, maybe I will succeed.
yeah...we as new wannabe devs are learning back the basics...i'm still trying to figure out what to do about the kernel source...afraid of bricking my phone in the process... hehe.. but all the kernel sources for all regions has been released...

hmmm...qzem, im getting stuck at initramfs...how do we get these for our phones? because the kernel can only be flashed safely when it is compiled with initramfs files from our phone... and for the phone to get custom recovery, i think they will also need initramfs files...

Same thing here. I have no idea how to get those, been asking around the forum an searching, but for now all the directions indicates that you need to have root access to get iniramfs. That really sucks...
hahaha...from this point of view, all Samsung phones after Galaxy S Advance will be quite hard to root... I'm waiting for the Galaxy SIII to launch, and for someone to root it... Maybe then we will be able to use the same way to root our phone... If only we can see what's inside our kernel.bin.md5... I'm sure the files we needed are in there...
the initrams? u mean ramdisk?
grab stock boot.img and extract from it.
the stock boot.img can be grabbed from odin flashable stock rom.

Yeah.. We have the stock rom, but can't figure out which one should we extract the boot.img from.. There was system.img.md5, cache.img.md5, hidden.img.md5, modem.bin.md5, and kernel.bin.md5... So which one? My suspicion lies to the kernel.bin, but I have no idea how to extract it..

Have u tried flashing it directly to the phone? You don't have to make it into a boot.img to flash it.. Because I'm afraid that the zImage will be useless if not paired with working initramfs.. Compiling the kernel is quite straightforward, the thing is to get the initramfs to turn the kernel insecure.. There are also scripts to extract initramfs from zImage, but I haven't had time to test it..

Ok what exactly is in initramfs, that is what I am trying to figured out? I've recompiled some other samsung boot.img with dsixda kitchen, and I got zImage and a folder caled boot.img-ramdisk, which included different files like init, init.goldfish.rc init.rc, default.prop, etc. In a file default prop is the setting ro.secure=0, and this is the settign I belive, that makes kernel insecure. I've also tried to unpack the zImage that I got from thsi boot.img, with the kitchen to see if includes those so called initramfs, but it doesn't. So I think that if I figured out which files should be in ramdisk, and if those files can be pulled of the phone, that than maybe I can repack a working boot.img. What do you think?

Yep, you got everything right there, I think.. Initramfs, ramdisk are the same thing.. They should include the cpio.gz, init.rc, default.prop etc... Have you extracted these files from the source kernel? Cos I don't think we can copy directly from phone, cos we need to preserve the permissions set on the files... Can you do that with kitchen?

I am following the topic and hoping it works out the development of kernels and roms to the device.
Come on it has to be a way to compile an insecure kernel without having the access to rooted phone. Cause all the options I found till now, required some files, that can only bee pull from rooted phone. But the whole point of an insecure kernel is the possibility to root the phone. Anybody can help us? Maybe I should start another thread, damn it!
Haha... Yeah, somehow I feel that Samsung is screwing with us, what with the new firmware format (never had kernel.bin before) and secured kernel, this is becoming impossible.. If we just have some devs good-hearted enough to port CWM recovery for us.. But without initramfs, I don't know if it's possible..
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA
The initramfs is inside kernel.bin.md5 (as for the Galaxy S firmware).
kernel.bin.md5 is a normal zImage Linux kernel (+md5).
the initramfs is included in the kernel image (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Extract_initramfs_from_zImage)
the initramfs is in our case a uncompressed cpio archive, therefore the script in the wiki does not work, but https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs/blob/master/unpack-initramfs can extract it without problem.
So, there should be no difficulty to root the i9070...
The easiest way would be to change the initramfs and repack everything.
Some good news for the good old G-Tab! Cdesai, koxudaxi, humberos have finished debugging the 3. kernel for now. I've made one new build yet (it was posted from OsitKP, because i've not enough posts for yet). This build is here. Help our great developers to enhance the kernel and test it.
Some details to the build: build number: 4.2.2 JDQ39E, kernel: 3.0.70.
All Thanks to alroger for his tutorials, to cdesai, humberos , angel666, koxudaxi, pawitp, jt1134, sbradymobile etc.
Sorry for my bad english.
First results on testing the kernel:
1. Charge works only when Tab is off
2. Some Advanced settings don't work
3. No USB connection to PC
4. Wi-Fi works
5. BT works partially, just like with 2.x kernel
For those who wants to try the new kernel for GT-P1000 I've attached two CWM zips with 3.x and 2.x (for rollback) kernels

It seems like the tab consumed to much power if the tab is on... I'm not sure, but i think galaxy s has or had similar problem... Probably the new kernel from alroger ( 3.0.74) fix it.
Alroger has reported that external sd is not mounted and tab has no usb yet. I have these bugs too..
Alroger has made its own build yet with kernel 3.0.74 and humberos fixed furthermore the bugs.

For my P1000 this kernel is much better:
Charge works now
Tab connects to PC by USB
It seems to me that tab now isn't as hot as yesterday with 3.0.70 kernel.
Emmc is mounted, but once after some gaming I saw it unmounted.

3.0.75 kernel for P1000
storm31 has compiled new kernel - 3.0.75.
Have not tested too much, but charge and emmc mounting works. As well as connection to PC. Youcan try attached recovery zip for P1000.
Warning!
The kernel contains broken recovery. To rollback you have to flash previous kernel via Heimdall or make a full restock.

I made no special steps for emmc mounting. The only thing I can assume is I've flashed last ROM (with 2.6.35 kernel) after restock. While last kernel was installed from CWM. By the way last ROM i use was compiled by storm31 who as well compiled 3.0.75 kernel (it's not mine!).

My emmc cannot mount also. OsitKP has one build with same old components, i have one mit newer components. It is possible that they have one or more bugs. We must wait for humberos, he is the "big man" by kernel developing. I would like to mention that the kernel 3.0.xx is very experimental. The next bad thing is that recovery seems to be brocken
3.0.75 kernel compiled by storm31
CWM zip, now with working recovery.
As for emmc it is my fault (I meant usial work. But when connected to PC it's not mounted).
Vibration and display colors are not fixed yet.
And charge is very weak.

CWM version of the p1 kernel.
I can give ABSOLUTLEY no gurantee!! All you do with your phone will be on your own. I'm not responsible if your phone will brick or whatever...
Attation! This kernel is for the I8200 variant ONLY... the I8190 is absolutley not compatible !!!
Kernel should be work also for I8200/I8200Q/I8200L-Variants, but can not be gurateed as the basis was I8200! If it works then a notice will be fine!
If you are not sure about the process, the data are important on your phone or you need it as a daily phone, then LET IT BEE, and wait for the messages that it is safe to use. Its important at the beginning that users with knowledge tried it at first !
Changelog:
12.02.2016: Long time ago, but now after a lot of investigating some new things comes up. Check what was done
05.01.2014: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was. not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more main.tained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possibility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom. Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to get a contact...
Baroni-V0.1 contains:
Basis of opensource from Samsung with some bugfixing
fixed recovery-boot-loop with a config-setting which must be used special in the Recovery zImage
Loglevel pushed down to minimum
Uber-Toolchain 4.9
set onDemand-Governor to standart. just to check how that works
start implementing SmartAssV2-Gonernor, but leave it inactive, due to some compile-errors.
bringing SELinux to work for future kernel releases if needed for > 4.4
Planned:
new govenors at the moment not established (will come later)
more other stuff (depending on learning-curve
Installation:
Install a recovery for safetyreasons (I prefer TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3rnfp3vabz9ee8/twrp_i8200_corrected.7z?dl=0
Read carefully the hints of the usage in the following firts post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/s-iii-mini-ve-i8200-n-t2826565 (There also the needed Odin (3.09) can be get)
Make backups of the complete phone, and be sure that you know what you do!
Download the right Firmware for your phone from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (just to have a other safety fallback in your hand!)
Download the file, start odin as usual (all kies-tasks closed!)
extract the file, and put it to AP
put the phone in Downloadmode (Vol-down,Home-key and powerbutton), and connect the phone with PC
flash the kernel, and let the phone reboot
pray
If things go wrong, please give everytime the following information's:
what you did before
what exactly happened (its not easy to help if you say: it did not work )
which rom in which version, which recovery and which version of my Kernel you use
try to get a /proc/last_kmsg (if a unknowen reboot appears) and/or Logcat, Build prop, CPU info, Sysctl, Kmsg, Dmesg and send it to me (or as a attachment to the post) for further analyse (you can use that tool for it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.andylog )
Attention: First checks seem to be that I8200 (without N or L or Q) did not work atm.

Yesterday I tried to install its kernel but my phone did not start properly.
I wanted to do a restore from a backup that had done, but the recovery (TRWP) did not restore the data partition.
Is there any chance that I happen again the same with this version?

Attention with TWRP-Recovery. Data-Partition restore seems to be not right. At the moment please did not use it, because it can delete your data-partition. We have to investigate it further! Other partitions seems to be ok, but its a good Idea if you copy your important data also manually to a other storage (like PC) while you trying things of this thread.
