kernel ics

there is' someone who can compile a kernel for beta ics Andrew Garen?

There wont be any custom kernels for those roms till there's source code for ICS

True. "Compiling" is referring to compiling source. As soon as we get source code....we're golden.

You could take the boot.img and unpack it to make minor tweaks but not nearly enough. The real quality tweaks reside in the zImage binary.
A boot.img consists of two major parts;
1. Ramdisk
2. zImage (binary)

Who's Andrew Garen?

Has been the ICS kernel already released? If yes, could please provide the link to the downloading page or git repository, I need to recompile a custom one.

I think that the matr1x kernel v11.5 should work on drew garens icy! do a backup and try!

I've been looking for it for a while, and can't seem to find any

This will give you instructions for downloading the cyanogenmod source:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source
CyanogenMod source for all versions/supported devices:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod
Device and Vendor files for Kindle Fire:
https://github.com/jackpotclavin
Guide for downloading CM9 source for Kindle Fire(should be very similar for cm7):

As far as source for a specific build, just go to github and look for the person who built it.

[REQUEST] N8000 Kernel Source

I am about to build a kernel for N8000. But my problem is I can not download from samsung open source site (Very Slow Connection).
Can someone please mirror the update7(MD1) for me on a fast server like dev-host, android file host, mediafire or etc...?
Here's the Samsung open source site:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-N8000
Thanks in advance.

You may use my GitHub repository, which has a branch "merge-to-ss-jb" that is just the vanilla Samsung kernel, backed by the complete Linux tree.
Also, if you're interested in a complete, up-to-date tree (and what I'm running on my own GNote) you may browse my "kernel-forward" branch.

Thanks.
I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. Merge-to-ss-jb is the latest source (MD1)? Is it a good to go for a kernel to be based upon?
2. Is it alright with you that I base my kernel on your own kernel?
I appreciate it if you can help me with some kernel stuff as I am new to this.

Yeah, it's essentially the official Linux kernel source up to version 3.0.31, overlaid with a cleaned-up version of the 1st Samsung JB kernel release, then each subsequent Samsung Open-Source Release (latest is "#7") is overlaid on top of that. If you build the HEAD of that branch, you'll have a vanilla Samsung kernel as of XXMCD1.

Of course! The entire Linux kernel is built upon Public collaboration; we all share from each other. My kernel has a few selected bits here and there from diverse places like CyanogenMod, Francisco Franco, Xstacy, the upstream kernel, Qualcomm, NVidia ...
I used to post my built kernel up in the ROM threads I used to use on my GNote, but someone complained and I don't really feel like being bothered with my own thread (don't have time for the inevitable newbie SPAM) so until if/when I do go "public" with it, the "kernel-forward" branch on GitHub is the best place to get what I'm running now.

Heard that the published sources have different wi-fi drivers than preinstalled stock kernel.
This is the main reason of allshare cast not working with custom kernels (on the contrary, some s3 custom kernels DO SUPPORT allshare cast), even if status=official and flash counter=0.
Anyone can confirm?
Anyone has the proper ones or know which one (i.e. from a different samsung device) to use?

gitHub link dead

Is this a source code for K8?

On this link there is source code for K8 maybe for K10 I didn't search for it (use find in page). When download it inside there is 3 files:
K350_Marshmalow_Android.tar.gz
K350_Marshmalow_Kernel.tar.gz
K350_README.txt
So I wonder is this what we need to build custom ROMs if not than what the hell is this?

This files for build stock firmware. But you can use the kernel source for build custom kernel.

Yeah, so I can use this kernel source to build kernel for let's say Lineage or any custom ROM?

Jus one more question, can I get a device tree from this? Is it maybe included somwhere in theese files?

Question Build Nothing OS source code?

Hello.
I want to compile and flash a custom fork of the Nothing OS. My issue is that I have never compiled and built an android OS before. I have built other OSes before for other devices but that was with instructions. I'd like to understand how I can build the Nothing OS and how I might find out that in the future for other android forks.
I know I need the source code from here and I know I need the devicetree from here. But I do not know how.
Thank you!

You can't build a closed source rom like NothingOS, they only provided device tree and kernel sources for custom rom development and custom kernel building.

Alright, but, if I were to compile and flash the kernel sources, what would be missing from the system that is proprietary? Would I even have a UI or would it only be the core kernel?

You answered your question, if you build the kernel source you'll get only the kernel which doesn't have any ui itself, you still missing everything from the rom.

Alright, so basically, this is only a fork from the original android repo, with changes so it runs on the nothing phone, and nothing more?

The kernel just allows the operating system to talk to the hardware so you still need an operating system. Your best bet is to grab a custom ROM if you really want to build from scratch or you can create a magisk mod that customizes the stock ROM.
