I am trying to port an aosp 3.0 boot.img from the desire z and I need some help as this is my first kernel port?

...Awesome... has already ported it. It's on his Dev-Host. It has the same problems as the kernels we haven now.

Can you post it anyways? Did you port it or is it awesome's? Did you try this with ics or jelly bean? Or was this boot.img from the jelly bean port posted?

Wait so you tried porting the kernel or just tried using it on your roms...? I don't get what you're trying to do. From what I understand you are trying to port their kernel through boot.img? I dont think you can do that as idk if there's a way to decompile a zImage.

And what did Awesome already port...? The desire z kernel...? As far as I know the source has yet to be released for it (unless awesome did some convincing) and as I stated before; idk if kernels can be ported like that... I thought the adjustments made to them had to be from source... Hence, why devs like nexx, elginsk8r, and others who worked (are working) on a 3.0 kernel are doing so from source.

It's impossible to decompile zimage

I was trying to port the boot.img I changed a couple of things in ram disc but it wouldn't boot up.

I haven't checked. Also, I'm using the official extended battery from HTC. So, battery life is not an issue for me.

Yes nandroid does. I use teamwin recovery but same should apply with clockwork. Do advanced restore of the boot.img (kernel)

I've checked the file and its scripts. All it does, is copy files to /system/etc, set permissions/owner, and add 2 lines to your build.prob.
So, IF IT WORKS, it should flash correctly and work on every other rom out there

Since we really have no true devs we are going to have to look for one with knowledge of code. We may have to donate some money to someone to get them a bravo unless there's someone with an extra that is willing to let someone use it. That's our true problem is that the defy, Atrix, galaxy s, and other phones have support from cm and alot of experienced devs that have been developing since the magic and hero days.

Yes, the results from the excellent tip: Well first I moved over the framework and apps like rdanner said, and it worked! Then I moved over the ect folder for working gps and better working wifi and such, and it also worked and booted! It runs pretty well, but the only problem is 3D (egl libs) don't work with the 2.2 kernel (this is a guess kind of, I'm guessing it needs the 2.3 kernel). Any time I move over newer libs from the newer build I get stuck at the moto screen. I still suggest people to try it out though, I don't have the signal working yet I don't think unless it already works...maybe try playing with the baseband switcher. The build is pretty smooth and wifi and orientation both work good...
Try it here
ICS gapps here
After install wipe data/factory reset and cache and dalvic cache maybe... I would boot it up first and do gapps after it's booted. Have fun, and thanks again rdanner!

Is that why you get that bootloader error when trying to flash it?
EDIT:
LOL!! I quote Epsylon's thread under to do list:
2.2 kernels :
Fix Google maps, no errors but no layer drawed (working only with defy+ kernel and gl libs)
Fix 3D (galery, opengl etc...) working with only defy+ kernel and gl libs

Looks like he might get 3D working for our 2.2 kernels!!

i have only one problem. the guide says the Easiest way to replace the kernel is to take a kernel update zip for your device, un-zip it and rename the zImage file to "boot.img-kernel" and copy and replace the file of the same name in your directory.
but when i take the boot.img-kernel from the unpacked aurora boot.img, it has 2,6 mb, but when i rename the packed boot.img from aurora to boot.img-kernel it has 3.0 mb. which one should i take?
Im trying to port CM9 too, don't forget that u8800 hasn't the same system space as the desire z (friendly advice)
Im gonna post it as soon as i finish it..
FYI: mine is booting okay, i have other problems though.. trying to fix them..
yes, i know, but which file should i take?
I dont understand your problem, you decompile the boot.img change the .rc and then want to compile it? (and don't know what boot.img to use)?

CustoNexus ROM testbuilds thread

Hi there,
A friend of mine asked me to compile my custom rom from source CustoNexus for his Arc, he isn't rooted yet, so he's quite careful with it haha.
Since i've built it anyways, I was thinking about releasing it in the forums, but I don't have an Arc to test on.
Before i release this into the wild development section, i'd like to ask to test you guys if you want to test THIS ROM on your arc/arc S and tell me how its like.
CustoNexus is a ROM based on CM&PA sources with our own custom overlay such as custom apps, ringtones, a kernel built with linaro, our own setup wizard and many more to come.
I built it with the 'anzu' device tree from FXP.
RESULTS:
Arc: untested yet
Arc S: untested yet
Thanks in advance,
djpbx.
PS. you're flashing this on your own risk, blah blah blah you know the deal with experimental roms.
