[Q] Repack intramfs into zImage without source code - Epic 4G General

Every way I find needs kernel source or an AOSP device. Can anyone help or do it for me (i can put intramfs on github).

Try asking rodderik see if he can help. I always liked his kernel

[Q] Kernel source code.

Does Motorola open the kernel code for Defy and Defy+ or the ones we're using are just hacks over the original binaries?
I ask this because it seems that maintaining two FW branches for different kernel versions tend to become more and more difficult over time. If we could bring the HW abstraction spend to the Kernel, it would simplify the overall development.
I don't even know if it's feasible, but theoretically it would be awesome.
Anyway... Just brainstorming.

Or the reason we don't use custom kernels is the locked bootloader?

i9000 ICS runing on 2.6.35.X kernel

Hi,
I'm looking for ICS ROM for i9000 running on kernel 2.6.35.7 or 2.6.35.14. Also interested about kernel sources. If you know ROM like this just tell me. Thanks a lot.
I don't think this is possible, because kernel 2.6.35 is missing some features from the upstream kernel which are required by ICS. Also I'm wondering, why you would prefer an older kernel over a newer one?
I need kernel 2.6.35 for different device. Want to use i9000 kernel as a base.
U won't find any with lower than 2.8.x+ kernel.

There is no 2.8 kernel. Last 2.6 kernel was 2.6.39, after that came 3.0. But 3.0 is not really a major update, it's essentially 2.6.40, but Linus thought the numbers get too high so he named it 3.0 instead of 2.6.40.

Well the os is meant for lower end devices so I'm sure the shift would have no trouble running it.

If anyone wants to try evervolv has ICS branch on their device tree for our device, I've never tried to compile against though. Also I finally found the device tree I *think* deck was using in our ICS builds since they aren't on his github...

Is there a jellybean branch on his github / on yours (from when you modified it)?
EDIT: Nvm, found it on his but I doubt it has the changes you made

Really? On the porting page all it said was make sure you have your devices branch
I also wanted the JB branch for something else I wanna try...if you have a local copy could you push it to your github? I would really appreciate it

Yeah I did, but the closest thing to CM10 I see is the liquidsmooth JB branch on there...or is that it?
Oh yeah forgot about that. I really didn't make much mods to the device tree, I made all my edits to the CM packages themselves. My device tree is probably no different then Decks, we both just used Evervolvs base and made the 2-3 edits necessary to get it to compile CM

I was wrong about Firefox being ICS based, it says your devices must have at the minimum ICS 4.0.4

[Resolved]How to extract and flash the latest original HTC kernel for gingerbread?

How would I go about extracting the kernel from this source, into a flashable zip to replace the kernel used in this gingerbread rom i'm using? Source of what kernel I want to use: http://www.4shared.com/zip/tJZoc2oq/PD15IMG__234_new__.html

I'm trying to use the kernel from an original virgin unrooted GB found at the link. It's T-mobile's official version
And I'm trying to use it with Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.4
Why such the urge to use a certain kernel. Not too sure if the my sense kernel would work with sense3.5

[Req] Stock 4.4.2 port

Hello S2 lovers. Today I managed to get my hands on the note 2 4.4.2 and I began the biggest project : Porting 4.4.2 Touchwizz ROM. So I have a unfinished varyant of it... My problem is that I don't have Ubuntu and I can't decompile kernal and recompile it... So here is my request : I need someone who knows how to edit a kernal and who has Ubuntu to help me with the ROM... Also , if we manage to make a bootable version I need a name for the ROM . And I want you to think at a name.
Thanks in advance

The kernel is the easy part, I can take care of that for you.
The question is how you will make it boot as framework, libs etc need probably a lot of changes

That's a little thing... Our goal is to make a bootable version... Glitches will be solved after

Is the kernel the more easy part? It would be excellent, if you could make it as soon as possible. :good:
Share the kernel from your 4.4.2 rom and i will look into it.
But here is a good tip: use a CM11 kernel from s2 and change the framework, libs etc. Trust me to make it boot you dont need to focus that much on kernel but more on the files in the rom. So start by porting, i am sure you will get bootloop in first attemt so adb a logcat and take it from there. I sure hope you can adb.
