[Kernel-Source] R-Iconia, merged the newest nvidia's kernel - Acer Iconia A500

Hi everyone,
I am glad to announce the new kernel source (R-Iconia) here.
I had spent much time to upgrade the kernel acer released to the newest kernel from Nvidia, and it's here now
https://github.com/roggin/iconia-a500-kernel
What's the difference between stock source and R-Iconia
1. added 400+ patches from Nvidia git
2. more robust
3. power consumption in suspend mode
4. performance improvement
5. FPS up to 60+
....
Every developer can use my work as your base to developing ROM, I like to see the project better and better
If you like my job, just hit thanks or buy me a beer for lonely developing night

Good job! It would be nice to have in a zip file to update our roms with. Have you tested it? If so what improvements have you seen?

Nice to see you developing a sure to be great kernal for the a500.Can't wait to use it hope you stick around for a long time.
i have used your rom on my acer liquid e.

Yippie kay yay !!
good days on the horizon ... Thanks !

hi, with which rom do this kernel compatible ?
acer based only ? or even with galaxy ?

is it 3.01 or 3.1 Kernel.
my understanding is that 3.1 kernel sources are not published yet.

Hi kjy2010,
Yeah, I have tested it, but I just have boot image for Taboony Rom.
the big improvement from stock acer 3.1 kernel i think is power consumption and it's opensource
thanks

Great job with that. I used the Thor kernel for a while, but him refusing to release the source makes him just as bad as Acer before they released it, so I'd much rather support a dev that participates in the community!
Is your Taboonay boot.img available? I haven't had a build env set up for years!

hi zoubidou,
it's depend, my kernel is maybe 3.2 kernel or newer now.
more clearly, in my kernel, it's necessary to revert two patches in framebuffer to back compatible with stock acer 3.1 rom.
Without my kernel, rom developer need to modify his rom to fit kernel.
thanks

Hi, for building use acs5k_defconfig kernel configuration
export CCOMPILER=../prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER acs5k_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
Right?
Can you point out a guide to pack the kernel image to ZIP that can flash by CWM recovery?

The right config file is tegra_defconfig.

Great work roggin! Looking forward to studying all the nvidia merges you were able to support. Thanks again for your help. The two nvidia merges you pointed me to got me over the hump for supporting 3.1 and my custom kernel is now running great...just overclocked it last night

They are mainly the video and frame buffer commits. I can send you my dev files for you to try it out.
It's mainly the display inversion stuff that's supposed to fix the portrait lag which I'm primarily interested in.

Guys, keep the thread to the topic - if you feel someone has stolen someone's work just write me a PM - if you have already done so - good, we are looking into it.
Flaming or accusing someone before it's proven will only get you into trouble - removed all the unnecessary posts - and I have received the complaint and looking into it.

maybe I should put my old signature back on? lol
the Synergy Bluetooth implementation is nowhere close to standard implementation, so although we might get a CM6/7 on this tablet, even without 2.6.36.3 kernel maybe, we still need more coding done to support the BT implemention otherwise the port will be without Bluetooth support..
I got, as example, the FolioMod ported easily, but Bluetooth did not work, same with the Blur port.. and since our kernel has no real loopdevice or devicemapper support and modules needs to be specifically compiled with the revisions used in our kernel, the "move2sd" function is also missing here, and other nice function as optimized filesystems using loopdevice for faster database updates etc..
it will be hard! , and the drivers without any source, makes its practically impossible to do a kernel based on nvidia's git tree alone..

[NEWS] My new kernel can run in stock 3.1 ROM finally

Hi all,
I am so excited now, can't wait to tell all you guys that news
Maybe someone know that I have upgraded our kernel to the newest kernel tree from nvidia's git and waiting for it to be stable for daily use. However, I found it can't boot in the newest ACER's stock ROM yesterday. After one full day hack, it finally can boot in the stock ROM now.
However, the last function I can't confirm is HDMI support, so I want some volunteers to test HDMI support and the stability. If you use vache's Taboonay 0.9.x and are interested in it, please PM me
Thanks
I can test the stability, but not the HDMI output.
P.S : Nice to see you here roggin
I can test hdmi, only 720p, but at least I can verify that.

Nvidia's kernel is the ORIGINAL kernel, all others base their continued work on, so Acer use these updates as reference..
Can you check up on the bluetooth issue on this kernel you make..
I know tiamat/xoom kernel is really close to stock nvidia kernel too (or fully supported with drivers). so maybe something dirty needs changing..
havent had chance to fix..
problem for now, seems to be it can scan, but seems to timeout on transmitting, so it suddenly cannot see new units after some minutes. maybe worth doublechecking.

If they know how to compile it, then I guess they can enjoy their brick
Just be careful not releasing the source code, as it is under a open licence. I'm pretty sure that's why thor2002ro's kernel thread was deleted by moderators off fo this forum. I don't want to see another Kernel development go south because it wasn't public .

I think the usage of ramdisk should be optional, because it might not allow to encrypt your device, and as you hopefully know, encryption is necessary to allow exchange activesync connection for email push, except if somebody finds out a what has to be modified to use activesync without encryption.
I also join ShadowXVII concerning the kernel source, if somebody wants to brick his device, it's up to him, but be carefull not to get removed because you did not publish the source.
otherwise well done my friend.

You only have to publicly release the source if you publicly release the binary - he's only obliged to give the source to the people he gave the binary to. So there's no problems
On that note: I've just flashed Taboonay and am happy to give your kernel a try. I don't have a dev environment set up these days, but if you can send me the boot.img I'll take a crack at it.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. Just being cautious as I'd prefer Kernel development wasn't hindered at all. That being said, a public source may promote development as opposed to ending up with several different kernels by different developers. I'm all for collaboration, and it's great to see some within this thread
On a side note, any Kernel developers that may be able to shed some light onto this thread would be appreciated -- in particular, the kernel requirements for networking over USB; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15452414#post15452414
Hi all,
It's not I don't want to release it. It's almost 300+ patches between older and newer version, and include some regulator voltage patch. I want to sure not damage any part in all functions.
Give me one more days, when I collect all necessary response from tester, I will release it
Thanks
I did exactly the same on the tiamat kernel, waited and hoped to had time debugging the bluetooth issue, but got modarator complaints on not publicing any source
anyways, as long as no binary appear in this thread, i think you're safe from any mods attacking you on GPL issues (or do like thor200ro move it offsite, if you feel like breaking GPL)
Talk is just talk for now, no mods can argue against that for now..

DREAMteam Froyo source code

Hi there,
I'm trying to build some froyo rom for g1 from source. The problem is that lot of stuff lying here is old, unusable slow or hopelessly broken. The only rom that seems to work is hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273549

Well I got in touch with tval aint spoke to him for a while. He said a repo was never made for DREAMteam froyo and the way in which it was created some by pushing files not everything was coding, there was not much point in a repo and he has not got around to it lol and I totally agree with him. So best thing would be to compile a rom from plain AOSP and begin to modify it yourself, this way you learn and better understand rom creation. Plus doing it straight from AOSP will give you the updates you want and in most ways will actually be better ^^ If you want any help I could always introduce you to a few devs see if they would be willing to help ^^
PS: From how you worded your first post it sounded like you were trying to compile just the ezterry kernel xD so I apologise that I misunderstood ^^

After that incident with kernel.org they removed all the old android repos
so I have hard times to find the G1 pieces again. ezterry rocks. The kernel

[ROM: DEV] CM7.2 .35 kernel

Ok, this is just something I have been playing with and thought I would share.
It is CyanogenMod 7.2, as close to stock as I can make it. I have taken a lot from Ezet and some stuff from Forumber.
This is not source based as I do not have a grunty enough system to build CyanogenMod from source.
Most importantly, I have started on a new kernel based on the TomGiordano source here:
https://github.com/TomGiordano/kernel_huawei
My Kernel Source:
https://github.com/PaulMilbank/kernel_huawei/tree/cm7-u8800-35
Will upload my source once I can sort out the sources on my computer. I am doing some mods on Aurora kernel too which I will release at some point.
After a few false starts, I compiled the source with their cyanogenmod_u8800_defconfig and it works pretty well for CM7.2.
I fixed atmel vibration using DZOs aurora commits as a guide.
Probably most broken stuff is defconfig related.
Bugs:
Keypad LED's do not work
Autobrightness does not work
Light sensors do not work- probably the cause of the above problems.
Camera force closes
You tell me
Working:
Wifi works
RIL works
Screen/video drivers work well, screen does not suffer annoying no wakeup for me like other kernels.
Atmel Virtual Key vibration works
You tell me
Get It Here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?b2dc7kdmixvas18
I will try and fix all these bugs, but I would be keen for some help too. I don't have time to be a full time dev.
As always, I am not responsible for any bricks, fires or nuclear wars that come about from installing this rom.
Please, please backup with CWM before flashing this.

This is just to see if I can get people interested in development. I will try document as much as possible what I do and see if we can get some people interested in building a kernel and getting a really good gingerbread cyanogenmod build out. If this goes nowhere, I will just focus on Aurora kernel and ICS. There are a few things I would like to try and include in Aurora to add some features.
We need good 2.6.35 source and this is a good source with a few small bugs, probably due to the config not being completely right. Hopefully they are minor and easily fixed. We have a lot of kernel development going on around the place and we can learn from commits to make a really good build hopefully.
Will try their 7x30_defconfig to make a kernel for my B528 rom too and see what works.
If you replace the boot.img in this rom with the boot.img in Forumber's latest cm7.2 build, it sould all work and give a 2.6.35 experience close to Ezet's 2.6.32 build. It will likely not be as stable because LEWA kernel on my phone at least, is crap.

Thanks, this will likely take a while longer than I thought it would as I am having trouble getting my sources synced locally and on github. If we can pull together all the sources into a kick ass kernel, we should have a really good CM7.2, I would like a rom with built in tethering too. It will just take some time. Running through DZOs excellent repo with a readymade .config and then making small changes is a lot easier than having to make it all up as we go and sort out sources and configs. Maybe I should not have been so cocky at the start!

If we can pull together all the sources into a kick ass kernel, we should have a really good CM7.2, I would like a rom with built in tethering too. It will just take some time. Running through DZOs excellent repo with a readymade .config and then making small changes is a lot easier than having to make it all up as we go and sort out sources and configs. Maybe I should not have been so cocky at the start!

Do you use your vendor files for compiling CM7?

No, I am just using your and Ezets prebuilt binaries and apk's. I do not have the computer power or skill to build from source!

But you could compile kernel?
Compiling and downloading kernel is much smaller and faster. Also their are a lot of comments and files to follow.
Compiling cyanogenmod from source is a huge download and would take forever to compile on my computer. Plus nobody documents the process well and it us specialized to the phone.
Maybe if I can get a good kernel going, others can build cyanogenmod sources for .35 kernel. It all just takes time.

Will you try your luck with cm9/10?

if you send vendor files to me,i can compile in my free time

Maybe Ezets here:
https://github.com/ezeteze/android_device_huawei_u8800.
Not sure otherwise. I don't have any vendor files sorry.
Use these vendor files: click. I built CM 7.2 yesterday and it works just fine with those vendor files.

but in this vendor,GPU can't run fully,has a little lag. If we solve this problem,we can make a good cm7 :good:

Guess it has something to with the "new" Adreno drivers. Might do some benchmarking later with the older ones. I haven't really experienced lagging myself though. it's kinda the same as w/ .32 based CM7 (especially when using ADWLauncher)

Neptune Pine - Custom Rom Infomation and Testing

I'm looking at the Neptune pine to see what I can do with it.
so far I have obtained the kernel config
Configkernel3.4
This Thread is for sharing information and Q/A
My goal is to have a custom android rom compiled and then to try port different O/S's to it.
Nice! What's the status of your efforts?
How to the testing .....

What about using the kernel source from cyanogenmod, like the dev did who released beta cyanogenmod?

Ok, should have read it better. Are you able to just compile a kernel for testing. Once you have a working one, that would be a good base for updating rom.

Any update on this?
Guess this is not going to happen. Just wish I still had the time I used to. I would have had a go my self, as the vanilla kernel is what kills this cool bit of kit.
I managed to get it to a usable state with google play installed, by installing SkyNET. Which tweaks the system on the fly when needed. Helps keep as much memory as possible.
Would the kernel source of the Nokia X help? as it uses the exact same hardware.
I have it downloaded, so if it will help, I can link.
I have given up on anyone doing anything with pine. So I tweaked stock rom as much as I could, got it running very nicely even with my 130GB storage (link2sd). I also modified the ramdisk image to support init.d on boot. Im also using kickarse kernel script.

Can you post how you did it? Thanks
@fol I would also be interested in it.

I used rom kichen to mess with ramdisk (it was very risky as messing with boot image can brick pine). I manually added init.d support. Then repacked it. Luckly it worked fine. I even flashed it to my sons.
I extracted stock system.zip and tweaked it the way I wanted (debloated added apps I owned), then flashed that. As I added init.d, I could use scripts on boot to alter running of pine.
Im currently using Project skynet vr4, which runs very nice.
@fol What is skynet? Do you have a link?
