Soled? What does that mean?
Also kernel went from 2.x to 3.x version numbering without any special changes/features. It was just time to go to 3.x die tp 2.x being quite old. It's not like it's any different.

1.6/2.0/2.1 with the kernel that HTC just released?

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?
It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all
There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...
Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Good to know, I guess I'm like a kid in the candy store, thanks for educating me on the kernel process.
Modaco's 2.2 has the customized kernel in it now.. read the front page of the Hero forum for the link..
its very nice..

[Q] HTC Vogue Kernels

Where can I find the latest kernels for the Vogue?
Is it still from here?: http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
The last time it has been updated has been a while and I'm guessing that this respiratory is/was maintained by dzo (Martin).

You don't install it, The source code is needed to build a custom kernel, but either enable overclocking or generally tweaking it to improve performance. You need the Android SDK to compile a kernel.
But, can we get the OS from this source or it's just the kernel?
Sent from my GT-S5830B using XDA App
Install Linux eg Ubuntu, down it, build it directly or git AOSP source then build.
My computer is unstable, or I can use it to port CyangenMod. But I have git AOSP source, I might try to build one. However, how to flash the built is a big trouble...
been trying to dowload this for a whole day. each time only got 10kBps speed, and resulting in timeout. also cannot resume. wth samsung????
Went well for me so here's my upload

Thank you so much.

this is the Gingerbread source code for Samsung GT-S5830. It is primarily for those who wants to build custom ROMs.

[Q] CM 10.2 Builds

I'm looking for newer versions of the 10.2 builds than the one from October last year.
I found some at quarx2k.ru in folder roms/defy-cm10.2 They are from just a few days ago.
But are they really valid updates or just some automatic builds that are no different than the old ones?
Still no answer? Is this dead somehow?
They are nightly builds with latest cyanogenmod changes.

That means this builds are compiled automatically daily by a computer based on git w/o an direct supervision by someone.

ElementalX Kernel

Hi there people,
I've been hearing good things about ElementalX kernel, but from what I see there isn't this kernel for our phone, what do you think?

Why don't just choose from available kernels instead? The dev of elementalX kernel is not supporting bacon because he does not have this device.

Already using Franco kernel but why not try this one if it was possible(or if someone ported this to our device)? ...thread was created about this kernel and not talk about alternatives
P.S. I heared quite good stuff about this kernel that is all

But you need permission from the kernel developer first.

If he says you need then ok if he doesn't and gives his source like that then no ...just port it and say it's his - problems solved. You get into technical problems while I comment on what you think about the kernel and/or if someone is willing to do a port(asking dev if needed OC)

tbh I'd rather watch devs working on 3.10 kernel(there's one for our phone) or newer e.g. 3.18 but that's a different matter

Since erorcun's OPO's screen is broken he probably won't work on 3.18.xx.

Gather 10 skilled devs to work around 3.18.xx for a few months and you'll have a pretty decent stable core with quite a few benefits ...but kernel isn't like roms, needs fine tuning and when we're talking about upped versions there are some restrictions, you need to create workarounds for some stuff and some devs don't like to do that and since we've got no actual open source drivers workarounds are inevitable

Yeap true still it's the future and there won't be one if we stuck in 3.4.x (3.4.x already reached EOL - https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html - linux kernels EOL )
P.S. Sultan tried to make a kernel but saw it would require too much time and effort and stopped, if he has time and passion about the kernel this would have a much better future. It's obvious that a proper optimized kernel does have benefits(of course to match the maturity of 3.4.x is not an easy thing ...still this would make our phone last 5+ years ....if a proper stable 3.18.x kernel was around) - not sure if the electronics of my 1+1 would live by then but just saying

Yeap, wish we had some devs working on:
3.18.x for our device
bring treble for our device(not sure if this can be done) - not just have android O(without treble)
This would ensure that the phone would live until all the electronics die from natural cause(age)
I think @erorcun was working on 3.10 and then 3.18 before his screen broke.
I don't know how common it is for devices to have merged or official kernel jumps, but I remember the S3 starting with 3.0 and ending at 3.4. CM builds got it first and then miraculously followed suit in the final OTA, which nobody who cared about their bootloader ever took.

Well oneplus won't give you anything ..that's a sure thing. Usually they don't up the kernel version. You get a phone with 3.10 it will die with 3.10.
The real problem comes with the drivers of the device. In order to get a real fully functional kernel without workarounds we need the help of qualcomm, would they provide drivers so we can have a real 3.18 kernel with proper support from android o? ...of course not, why do that when they can sell you a new phone with better SoC(they have a company to run and to do that they want to sell SoC ...so you should buy a new phone )

Mediatek SoC ...good luck with that
Mediatek is worse than Qualcomm when it comes to open source roms
..but at least you'll have 3.18 which isn't bad at all heh

Sur,I iz puar but not that puar that I'll buy mediatek(It wasn't bad when Qualcomm didn't produce budget chips,but it is way worse now in front of Qualcomm budget chips).
Btw,afaik,mediatek variant only available in China which is exactly why I don't live there.
