[KERNELS] Looking for Kernel Developers for Kernel Manager!

Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce a new project with a very simple but ambitious goal: create a place where all kernel developers can submit kernels easily and reach a much wider audience with ease.
Using Kernel Manager to flash kernels takes less than 30 seconds, generally, and it is extremely simple for end-users to find a kernel, filter by kernel features (BFS, CFS, HAVS, SBC, etc) download/install kernels, and submit ratings for their favorites.
We need from kernel developers like YOU! Submitting a kernel to Kernel Manager is totally free and we even provide hosting for you! Submitting kernels is easy!
If you use IRC, join us in freenode in #kernel-manager!
THIS LINK IS FOR KERNEL DEVELOPERS SPECIFICALLY! Go to http://kernels.teamw.in and register for an account! Once it's approved, you can easily enter new kernels, which immediately show up in the app. The app is currently available in the market.
Please feel free to provide me with any feedback you have, or feature requests in order to make this a great tool for all of android to utilize!

Speed up your approval process, and you might have more.

Heh, sorry for the delay! We have to vet every account approval, and we get TONS of random user submissions... your account is approved!

Thanks
Looking into it now.

Applied. Let's see this thing now.

I like this idea. I wanted to create this exact app a while ago but simply don't have the time.
I hope this becomes a standard thing for kernel devs. I would love to have an app notify me of updates than various forums.
In addition to tangible things, I hope some dev intentions can be flagged and filtered as well, such as "safe", undervolted (slightly or significantly), heavily battery-optimized, etc.

Yes, from the market.

How is this different then Rom manager? Do you host the files instead of putting that responsibility on the kernel Devs?

What options does it have? I seen a window come up that said download and install kernel or something to that effect. Does it clear cache or dalvik or prompt to if you choose to flash kernel from kernel manager?
Thanks for the cool app, just apprehensive about flashing kernels thru it till I get the green light from more experienced people

Press "menu" while in the app. There are filter options and a settings menu to set it up to wipe cache and dalvik.

How does this work from a technical standpoint? Usually kernels are flashed from recovery. Does this work with ClockworkMod, or does it somehow flash the kernel while the OS is running (that would seem unsafe to me...)?

Is there a way to flash anything except for a PG05IMG besides recovery? Let's stop and think about that for minute.................

Submitted. Maybe give kernel developers access to paid version as well? (probably wishful thinking)

Well you know, gotta make sure you guys know that I eat my own dog food
BUT, that said, I do use it because it's so much easier to use than rebooting to recovery. And like 50 times faster.

Definitely faster and it's been hard to trust ROM Manager when it comes to wiping and installing properly. It's also a bit annoying to have to do so much scrolling to go pick that "YES I want to flash that file" option.

[POLL] PDroid Permission Management: do you want it?

UPDATE: PDROID NOW AVAILABLE VIA BOTBREW:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26033156&postcount=10
First, for those who haven't heard about it:
PDroid
PDroid ICS Port
At this point, as far as I can tell, PDroid is only available as a patchset, not in any rom.
It looks like it is a lot more powerful than CM Permission Management.
The purpose of this poll is so Vibrant users can show interest in a rom with PDroid built in, hopefully motivating rom devs to add it.

I'll check this out tonight - looks interesting.

I'm not set up to develop at present, but I'll try any CM or ICS open-source rom that has this built-in, or an open-source zip to hot-patch it into said roms.

Yeah pdroid looks awesome! I asked about this in slim forum and cm forum somewhere around here but got no love lol... its really awesome permission management and if they add a firewall it would be a must need app that I would love to buy... you can use it with droidwall but it has leaks and allows access before it loads up on reboot... pdroid could block that from the start if it had a firewall incorporated tho... I look forward to the development of this awesome app.

Looks like we might get a try ourselves with an ics patcher in the not so far off future
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

An ICS patch does appear to be in the works.
As for CM, you're right, it will never have PDroid, and I'm really beginning to wonder if they will even bring any permission management into CM9. If you look at the PDroid patch, it's not a huge amount of code, meaning if Google wanted android to allow privacy, they would have added it long ago. But the frankly rather seedy business model of Google and many "free" app writers and Facebook is the harvesting and selling of personal information, and they apparently threatened to cut CM off from Market access if they added strong privacy.
Clearly the long-term solution is Google-free phones running Debian or Ubuntu, but until then, there's PDroid.

Nice. Where?

Pdroid working for AOKP and CM9
PDroid is finally available for AOKP and CM9 on T959 Vibrant via botbrew. Follow instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24934484&postcount=123 big thanks to mateorod for porting it over.

Hey guys-
UPDATE 6-5-12
I haven't had any requests for updated packages except for AOKP, so I can only confirm that AOKP Build 40 and CM7rc2 are currently supported! Any other ROMS are at your own risk! If you would like a ROM for vibrant or any other device to be supported, please post a request.
Okay, this is directions for PDroid support through Botbrew. Installing these packages over your nightlies will get PDroid working each time you flash, without having to patch every time. This way you can update your rom whenever you want.
Here is the XDA frontpage article about this exact process!
IMPORTANT: Eventually, the source code for these ROMs will change to a large enough degree that the packages won't work anymore! Just reflash the ROM and come report here at the thread. I will update the package as soon as possible (usually pretty damn soon, if I do say so myself...)
Directions
Install Botbrew from Google Play
Botbrew will bootstrap some packages necessary for its operation.
Install package repository-mateorod and press the refresh button.
There are three packages available at the moment for the Vibrant. Install the package that matches the ROM you are using.
android-framework-pdroid-cm9
For Cyanogen9 ROMs
android-framework-pdroid-aokp
For AOKP Milestone builds
android-framework-pdroid-aosp-gummy
For Team Gummy AOSP builds
New!
android-framework-pdroid-cm7.2final
For CM7.2 Final!
YOU MUST install the package that corresponds with your ROM, or it will result in bootloops!
Reboot!
Launch PDroid and configure.
That's it!
Note: You won't see any of the packages if you look while running CM7 due to an inconsistency in the cm7 build.prop.
If you have any questions about Botbrew or the process, here is a Q&A I have at the thread for my packages I host for the Nook Color.
If you have any questions about PDroid and the port to ICS, here is pastime1971's thread on the process. Thanks pastime!
Also thanks to c-pimp for the Team Gummy files! Also to svyat for PDroid and inportb for Botbrew!
cashmundy- could you maybe put a note in the OP about this being here? If you think I should start a new thread, I will. Thanks!

I confirm this is working with the 5-12 CM9 nightly. Thanks to mateorod and everyone he thanks in the post above!

Thanks, cashmundy. The problem was that cm9 has a weird naming convention for just your device, at least unique as far as I have seen.
I just changed the package to reflect your arch.conf.
So thanks very much for testing and finding the problem. I am pretty sure everything is OK now, but let me know!

Still on CM9. Did a reset, installed botbrew and your repo, and I now have no pdroid package.
As expected, botbrew fetched the CM9 props on install
, except that it down-cased the model to "sgh-t959".
arch.conf:
arch all 10
arch any 20
arch noarch 30
arch armeabi 100
arch armeabi-v7a 110
arch sgh-t959 120
build.props:
ro.product.model=SGH-T959
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=SGH-T959
ro.product.device=SGH-T959
ro.product.board=aries
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

Okay man. I took out the sgh-t959 package because I thought you said cm9 had vibranttmd as arch.
Are you saying that it changes whether or not you install cm9 as an update? Cause I don't see how that would be.
I am going to make it so Botbrew has cm9 packages for sgh-t959 and vibrantmtd. We'll sort it out for good later tonight when I have some time.
Thanks for your time and effort testing this stuff!

CM7 has vibrantmtd as ....device and SGH-T959 as ....model. CM9 has SGH-T959 as both model and device, as does AOKP. If you (or BotBrew) could use model instead of device, it might work well.
What happened before was I tried CM9 over CM7 without a reset. BotBrew didn't catch the upgrade, and so kept the conf from CM7. When I reset and then installed BotBrew, it found the new props and configured accordingly. A hook in BotBrew to check the current rom on startup and reconfigure itself on flashes would be a good thing.
I'm currently showing all three packages, version -9.
One minor note: somewhere you specify the BotBrew refresh button as being on the top right. On my phone it is always on the bottom left. Maybe more vibrant weirdness.
Final random thought: I'm not very impressed with CM9. It has some real drawbacks (the keyboard for example).
CM7 is still overall a lot better (to me) and if PDroid ever makes it there, I'll test it.

Well, I am still considering about cm7. Let me see.
Botbrew does has services you can turn on to configure at boot, as well as several ways it detects flashes, although most of those are centered around packages or the terminal.
But thanks for those tips, there is definitely some weirdness going on with the vibrant that I haven't seen elsewhere, but is good to know about because it could resurface in other devices.
But yeah, for instance, you could use light pad to turn your sdcard into a web server, and host websites off of it, so that's one of the services options.
There is honestly a world of stuff in the repo already, and he's about to add debian INSIDE android.
Crazy. Thanks, cashmundy. I will look into cm7.

Very cool.
I think I'll try AOKP again when a new build is out, and test the patch there.
One thing that would be useful would be a white-hat app which would request all permissions, gather all possible data, and display it. As it stands, we have to take it on faith that pdroid, droidwall etc actually work.
For the long term, I am very much hoping for Debian instead of android.

The Vibrant is I think the most recent device, and the BandN Nook is supported,
so I expect the Kindle will be someday.

This is a flashable zip (tested with CWM) that installs most of the apps from the Guardian Project. The guardian project is a non-profit organization that is building apps and tools to help users and whistle-blowers alike to stay safe and anonymous in this day and age. This is a faster way to setup a secure/private device. I also encourage enabling Full Disk Encryption in ICS/JB settings. Quote from the site:
How Guardian Helps
While we think that a secure, privacy-enhanced mobile phone is a good thing for just about anybody going about their daily lives, we like to also consider the extreme cases, where this technology might change the course of someones life.

Thanks all for the feedback! I will be updating the addon in a bit and adding on some more stuff. :good:

This is absolutely fantastic, I was wondering when something like this would be put together! The guardians are absolutely right when they say the mobile platform is the least secure, anything that can be done to change this is beyond welcomed.

Anyone tested on CNA?

I will add it to the list I will have to take a look at the resource files and see where FDroid stores the repos.

hey, thanks for this. I got here from the Guardian Project mailing list, and I just posted this feedback there.
The full zip installs fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, running CM10 nightly 20120820 and Semaphore 2.0.6 kernel. The progress bar didn't go all the way across, so I thought it might've bailed, but it looks all good now.
So far tried I've Orbot and TextSecure, which I assume were reinstalled, and my settings+data remained. Ostel kept my login info, too, but going into settings I get incredible lags (which may be the new CM10, and the funky partitions that the dev/device maintainer used to work around our space limitations and NAND speeds). Also tried ObscuraCam and opened Panic, looks OK. New toys that I've never played with yet.
Before flashing this, though, I tried installing the update zip, in the hopes I'd add Orweb, ObscuraCam, etc., and not lose data+settings with the apps I already had. The flash said it completed (again, despite that the progress bar didn't go all the way across), but when I rebooted, I had no new apps. Then a weird quirk: I opened a data connection and Orbot, and it connected fine, but a check with Firefox Beta said I had no net connection. Checking mail in K9 gave me errors, but Twitter with Tor proxies set loaded fine. According to IP Track, I had no external IP. I turned off Orbot, turned it on again, and then all was working as expected. Strange.
Anyway, thanks; this is a great project. I also want to ask: Any chances of including RedPhone? It's open source now, but unavailable on Play where I am; I think it's limited to only the US. I used Market Unlocker to get it, and will be testing it here soon. Nathan of Guardian Project was saying that outside of the US, it may have push/wake problems. I'll find out soon here, but if it's not too buggy, it'd be great for everyone outside the US.
edit: also, what about adding MD5 checksums, or a GPG signature?

[DEVELOPMENT] Xprt GB wishlist

So here it is, what do we want on or phones???
when do we want it??? now of course, but I just cant... LOL
My first thought TWRP, and the CM statusbar...
Please when posting here try to refer screenshots and/or zip files.
Many fixes and features can be flashed thru CWM or TWRP over deodexed ROMS, JFYI CM is a "bundle" of user-created features...
Once we deodex we can add any GB-compatible feature, so come on let´s hear it from rock bottom!!! (Rock Bottom by the offspring!!)
And btw, let's try and keep this organized. I´ll be going now but tonight Im gonna try and make the other threads (FAQ,DEV and others for our device!)
Peace!

I don't believe twrp is necessary. It'd be cool yes. But clockwork mod is our best hope with the 2nd init booting.

And honestly I just want fully functional and fully stable Cyanogen 9 or up. But. I lack the resources to do so. And on top of that I got in a skating accident on my way to the grocery store and broke my arm. So I'd rather do as little arm movement as possible.

Yeah, same here. If I could get at least a stable CM9, then I'd be happy. I just want the video camera to work, and for it to stop freezing and rebooting every so often. The rebooting is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

I just need some help with the deodexing crap, I really do rock using any graphics software, so once we can extract and modify everything we´ll be into something.
For those of you who might not want to eithe deodex, flasha deodexed rom or flash a custom rom but want to somewhat theme or mod their phones, fire up google and look for ninjamorph...
ninjamorph if I remember well can perform theming operations directly on the phone, and it can deodex, modify and redex apks...
It IS a little old I think. so 2010´s...

"Eye candy" is none of my concerns. I actually need 4.0 or up with the same APIs as my Nexus 7. Whether it be apps, frameworks, or other things. I love this phone. Hate the software. Running the CM7 from rongsang still because I need stability to use it as a phone and tool. You cannot build a city with broken tools.

Same. I like my ICS apps.

ALL NST Stock Apps Request

Can I obtain all of the stock apk's that come with an unrooted NST? I want to see if I can run an NST environment on my CM7 NookColor. If I can get these apk's I will make a custom firmware for the NST.
And yes, I have an NST.

Download the latest firmware from B&N and pull the apk's from there. You also might want to join the NST CM7 thread.

Alright then. I'll be compiling this firmware if you need me!

You're not going to be able to get the unmodified Reader.apk or ReaderRMSDK.apk to run.
They use android.hardware.EpdController
You'll have to either stub in the class or modify the apk.

Alright. I read this message while I was having issues with them. Ill try to fix them manually. Thank you.

I successfully unzipped the firmware download on a windows machine, but I no longer have access to it. When I try to extract the files from the Zip on my mac, it cycles through zips and tar.gz's infinetly. When I try to extract it on my NC with rom toolbox, it says, "failed to extract tmp.zip"
Any suggestions?

After flashing (with CWM) what I would have posted as alpha-1 to test it, I am pleased to say that the Nook Simple Touch just sucks.
What happened:
I built the ROM entirely from Eclair source-code and the Nook's stock software. I flash the ROM to test it and BAM, bricked. I looked over what I had built again, and again, and EVERYTHING should have worked. (Yes, I checked superuser, etc.) Frustrated, I recompiled the majority of the firmware, and reflashed, after restoring to pure stock. This time, it boots to the Android Launcher, which is what I intended, but then, I click on The Android Market Icon, and it says: "Barnes & Noble permissions breach detected, factory resetting." It shuts down, boots up without resetting and then when booted says that Android Launcher, System UI, etc. Has crashed, reboots, factory resets (???), and then boots up to the Nook welcome screen. I skip OOBE, and factory reset once more.
Now, I am selling this useless Ereader, and will use the money to contribute to the purchase of a Nook HD, which now ships with Google play installed. With the Nook HD, I wont have to deal with this crap, because it is a TABLET unlike the Nook Simple Touch, which is and will always be, just a black and white Reader.

Hello Mineturtle33, as I wrote in the other thread,
First of all I want to really say you thanks for your efforts trying to port CM7 to our Nook Touchs...
I and more people like me appreciate very much your work, and we know the how useful would be updating our Nook Touch to Android 2.3 because every day more, developers cut support and compatibility for older Android versions like the our...
I known it's only a BW tablet, but I thinks that in its area is still the best, the only with maybe limited but support for apk, only missing with newer apps is the flaw.
So in name of mine and many people like me on this and the another forum I say to you: Please don't give up!
At the moment you seems the only with the knowledge that can reach it.
I will also be pleased also to make a symbolic offer of the 25$ if instead of sell your nook, you can just make some more try on it.
Count me also for beta-testing also if dangerous
You are our only hope

Thank you for your support. I just want to let you know, I will keep trying, though, release #1 will most likely be Android 2.1. When we make progress on porting CM7, I promise that I will do a 2.3 release. While thinking about what I will name this ROM it popped into my head, SnowMOD? (since it's white) Is that a good name? Anybody else have name ideas? I will make an official progress thread later. Don't worry about give ng me 25$. I don't really need it.

I can test the new custom rom once significant progress is made.

I think SnowMOD it's a good name and will become famous.
Thank you in advance
I can't wait to see it..and flash it.
Good work!
