Not sure if this helps us or not, but Huawei have released the kernel source for the u8800pro. Hopefully this helps us get a couple of drivers and build more ICS roms from the official kernel. Someone more advanced than me may be able to tell whether this is the same code DZO is already working with or whether this is more optimised for the u8800 range.

waiting for offical ics port

Hey guys,
A quick heads up. Samsung have posted kernel sources for their latest Chinese ROM release that a few people have mistaken for updated kernel sources used in the 2.3.4 builds.
!! THIS IS NOT TRUE !!
The GT-I9100_CHN_CHN.zip marked as used in I9100ZCKG4 is exactly the same source as the original EUR based kernel GT-I9100_Opensource.zip, which is a buggy release and causes random reboots.
The one the latest custom kernels are (or should be) based on GT-9100_OpenSource_Update1.zip is sources used with 2.3.3 and still the latest version we have available.
So don't go grabbing the "latest" Chinese release, as it's actually a downgrade.
SO now that the source for ICS is out I have a question. Please excuse my ignorance as I am still trying to learn a few things.
The main question is if a kernel can be made for the note directly from the source and then the current modem files be flashed to it to make it work or do we have to wait for Samsung to release a version built of the source with custom drivers. I guess I am just not sure if the source contains drivers for some hardware or if it is all custom added on top of the rom.
I hope Tytung doesn't mind me posting this up but I just wanted to inform everyone that he has just released his Kernel source for ICS so devs can help on the development for the fellow HD2. From his post:
tytung said:
As promised, I have uploaded my latest ICS kernel source to the GitHub website.
https://github.com/tytung/android_kernel_htcleo-2.6.32-ics
I changed the kernel name to ics_htcleo_r1, a neutral name.
If anyone really want to help improve this ics kernel, please fix/add the following features first and consider sending me a git pull request.
Full Hardware Acceleration.
Proper hardware encoder for camcorder to record the smooth video.
More compatible touchscreen driver for ICS to fix pinch-to-zoom issue.
Proper VPN driver for ICS.
I uploaded my kernel source to the git mainly for the collaborative development.
In other words, don't add small stuff based on this kernel and then release a new kernel with your own name.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Good job

AW: New Kernal Source Update2 i9100_JB
Bump for interest
Greetz
Alliance6.1|Dorimanx7.47|i9100¬Tapa2
Good news?
Can anybody confirm if this is what the developers require to keep i9100 alive?
source kernel international is out today for i9100 JB
http://opensource.samsung.com/
Well, they released the JB sources, yeah. The more important question: Are the driver sources for the proprietary hardware in there?
i hope it's the thing that devs need
For anyone playing with the new source, the cypress driver is missing from /drivers/input/keyboard. I re-added it and can now build a working kernel. I emailed sammy asking if it was a simple mistake :silly:
Here's the patch:

Sorry for my excitement.But i am quiet depressed that more than 2 to 3 months have been passed but their is no nougat ROM for our device.
If someone has idea whether the making is under processing or yet to be start.please let me know.
Thanx.
i guess kernal source is released by xiaomi, very soon we should be able to see some developments on nougat roms for our devices.
At least a month, I think.
