Hey guys,what's up?
So,I guess I am not the only one who's sick of htc delaying the release of the source code for their latest OTAs.Especially those of us who have owned a Hero or a Desire(I for one had both ) will know what I'm talking about.
So,there I was at the Desire Z forums and saw the original thread for the overclocking module we were using with 1.32,before we had permanent root and CWM.As coolbho3000 states here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681,
If there's ever an OTA or if you flash a custom kernel, you'll need a recompiled version of the kernel module, and with different addresses. Any kernel dev can easily do this using the documentation below.
To use it on another device (such as an HTC Desire Z, if it runs a different kernel, or even an HTC Desire HD or 8x55 myTouch) running a different kernel, you must re-compile the kernel module from source and refer to the instructions here to modify it (or the installation process) accordingly: http://github.com/coolbho3k/vision_o.../master/README

So I think that with some work we can do it.Seeing the dual core phones coming out,1GHz seems kinda slow,doesn't it?
If anyone's interested please let me know!

thats what i thought until htc release the source code what use is an o/c module anyway lol
Odd's are that the pulled 1.72 updates source code will never be released... If you really want it, contact the FSF to put some pressure on HTC to release it.

i think HTC will have to release it, even though it was pulled, the fact it was even released and people may be using it means, HTC are breaking the GPL by not releasing it
Someone on leedroid thread has managed to overclock the stock kernel
E=Mc2
Well,did we have the source for the 1.32 kernel then?I dunno...
But anyway,even so,until HTC does something for us,we should have something to keep us occupied with!

i wonder why i am running a 1.32 rom, shame most dev are writing 1.72 roms

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?
It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all
There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...
Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Good to know, I guess I'm like a kid in the candy store, thanks for educating me on the kernel process.
Modaco's 2.2 has the customized kernel in it now.. read the front page of the Hero forum for the link..
its very nice..

It seems that HTC developer page has the source code for the 2.6.29 Droid Eris (codename Desire) kernel available. Maybe this could be usefull for you developers!

This is already in all the current ROMs. Now we can start using modified kernels that allow for OC and the like.

Yeah that's what I was thinking by I didn't know for sure. But why couldnt we OC before if we already if we already had the kernal?

I don't think you understand what this is. This isn't a rom or a patch or an update. This is the source code to the Eris's kernel. We didn't have this before, we were waiting on HTC to release it.
Do a google search for linux kernel to get a better idea of what a kernel is.

The runnable form of the kernel can't be changed (much very easily, at least). Having the source code renders making real changes to the kernel feasible.
very nice. i cannot wait to come back from vacation to see our phone finally OC'd
YESS! Finally
So this wont help find a vulnerability for us leak users?
It may help find a hole in 2.1 for leakers... But dont get your hopes up to high.. The 1.5 source didn't yield much in the way of root when it was released. Im more excited to possibly see OC on the Eris!!
I'm not a leaker, but there's a thread in General that talks about the incredable being rooted from just the source. That's where you'll probobly find a hole.

So few people have the tablet at the moment, suspect that's the hold up. It still hasn't been released to the rest of the US.
How much can you do without the source code?
There's not much you can do without the source. The xoom only got it's first rom a few days ago and it does not have all that many changes. Once we get the kernel source, we should start seeing some custom kernels(for overclocking and stuff) but that's about it.

That's what I figured. I'm sure you can change around a few small things, but for the most part didn't expect what I'd consider a true "custom rom."
Will probably have to wait for Ice Cream Sandwich.
I think we can thank google for that as they have chosen not to release the AOSP for honeycomb. And who knows when samsung will release the kernel source. I would have thought they would have released it by now.

I'm not exactly sure what the law is but they will have to release it eventually.. The linux kernel is under the GPL, which means that any modifications to it are, without question, also under the GPL. Therefore, they have to make their version of the kernel open source at some point. Does anyone know how long they have to do so?
Does any one know if the retail version of the galaxy tab have an unlocked boot loader and if can be rooted? cant seem to find that info ne where. if it has a locked bootloader you can forget abt custom roms till the bootloader can be unlocked

Umm, its negligible. To start a thread in development you need to have created something for other people to test and use. Posting a link to a website which developers probably check every day doesn't really count.

I am in agreement here; this should not be in dev as it is just a link to the kernel released, no actual development is being done. It belongs in general. Plus, you guys need to stop bickering damnit! Time to start this thread with a clean slate.

I assume that you are rooted. I'm not sure what kernels are currently working on gb ota. I've been using sense for a few months so I'm not up-to-date with what is working on stock rooted roms.

I'm preparing to be flamed, but I figured I might as well create this thread. Now I know many of you know this, along with the i896 source, is out, but there wasn't a thread for it and the i896 one had issues, so here . Hopefully we can get some development going for those of us that want *shutters* Audience Chip drivers, along with the many features that are present in the i9000 roms.
Just search KK4 on here: https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp

Doesn't bother me anymore since now ICS is doing great.
But, if really want to stick with GB(usually MIUI and CyanogenMOD).
I would like:
a.) The Audience Chip thingy.
b.) Battery life.

yea I been onICS for 24 hours now ,, its great , but nothing special I see very few differences in anything , except I am missing all of the features I m use to on GB .
imo dotn believe the hype , the only 2 things I like about my current ICS set up is sixstring kernel allows me to OC higher then on sammy rom (not higher then cm7 tho) and the launcher is pretty cool but still not as nice as on the gnex .
Eventho its 2.3.5 I welcome source of KK4
eventho Im 2.3.6 (i9000 base )
I'm looking forward to the more refined kernels the source code release should bring around. Those features we've been missing will now be possible.

Saw the thread. It is a discussion thread about the firmware, this thread is to alert people of the actual source code, so we can get new kernels and stuffs Also, aren't most source code threads posted in here? At least for Froyo, and i896 GB, I believe they were.
Audience chip support was already extracted from the I896 gingerbread source kernel. It is available in the i9000 captivate corn kernel. Specifically gave me thanks for being able to introduce audience tip finally.
If you would like Audience support in any other kernels just contact the developer of corn.. A few months ago

I know, I know, I have been running it for a while now.
but im surprised that kk4 was final release. had time-stamp issue.
but now if we can get a unbranded kernel, we can have a complete unbranded rom with the ATT removal mods i posted while back.

I'm pretty sure that problem only happens when you put AT&T software on an i896. I can't say for sure though because both my cappy's are canadian. Anyways I don't think ts a problem with the phone per se.. I think its a network thing. There is no time stamp issue for people on the AT&T network that I know of.
KK4 Source has been available since around Christmas. Some of the I897 kernel devs have been trying to compile a kernel from source but have been running into issues with the kernel not booting which is why you haven't seen any yet.

Its a network AND software issue. Either they can fix the problem though the network, (its been done before) or you can de-compile the MMS.apk and change a line of code to fix the problem.

Both JSmokey and I haven't been able to get a kernel compiled from the KK4 source that we had gotten around Christmas. Though JSmokey said he did have a working kernel before, but isn't certain what he did to make it not work anymore. I've even tried to compile a stock kernel per the included instructions with no luck...

Same here, there must be something missing. Pulling a dmsg doesn't give much help, something about wanting sh in /system/bin (I think).
I have moved over to cyanogenmod 7 for now, waiting for cm9. Lots to tinker with there.

Maybe we can ask DG for help. I know he has moved on a long time ago, but recently he came back and helped with ICS kernel development. If he could help us getting KK4 kernel compiled from source, I am sure we will see a lot more ROM development going on.
