Custom X8 kernel for paul-xxx's ICS

as you all probably know paul-xxx released an ICS rom for our X8 which is apparently based on CM9 (correct me if i am wrong). however it has a lot of problems like WiFi, Camera etc. it also has kernel compatibility issues like gsm working on nAa kernel but not on alfs kernel and so on (again correct me if i am wrong). so i have decided that i will set about the task of building a compatible kernel for this rom. however that is not possible alone by me. i need the help of expert devs on X8. so let's start, shall we?

i can only can help you in testing , sorry im not an expert, i hope some people help you to compile the kernel !!!!
sorry my bad english !!

as i say any help is greatly appreciated. and could you ask other devs you know to help me out? thanks in advance.

I know that FXP is already doing something for MSM7227 for ICS
It is in their Git, maybe they are planing to port ICS to X10Mini/X10MiniPro/X8, or help on that.

I cant help because I am using W8 and I cannot unlock bootloader. I am sorry but I will help support you guys...
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!!

I thought about this myself too but don t have linux on my computer and i would install it but that partitioning... naaah
good luck

perhaps you didnt understand the purpose of my thread. i wanted to create a kernel for paul's ICS. and anyways thanks.

yeah, i know, but i preffer to wait to see if FXP does something
@Xmaster8 But if you want i can compile that FXP kernel for you. I have DualBoot, Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows7

i have a question. in fact 2 questions.
1. can i use this guide to compile a kernel using this source except for the fact that the source will be different (in this case the ICS kernel source that you referred me to)?
2. since FXP kernel has compatibility issues with some roms, will a kernel using their ICS source be compatible with paul's ICS?
hope to see reply soon.

yes they are complete, but maybe not "ICS" at all, i think so

hardly any skill though it doesnt hurt to develop some..lol

what makes you think so?

msm7x27:initial fork [freexperia]
i think this means that they forked the "base" kernel for Msm7x27, so it must be complete.

@souljaboy11792 If you botherd to look at FXP ICS source you will see it's only for es209ra (X10).You can't build this for X8 witout a lot of changes.And what's the point of this thread when you know nothing about kernel building.(Don't mean to be rude)

[DEV][WIP] Bringing AOKP to Xperia

GOOD NEWS !!
Ok, so i spent a few bucks and increased my RAM, which is enabling me to at least make complete builds of source, and i also got my usb repaired.
I made the first build of AOKP.
It DOES NOT boot (x10) as of now.
I just merged freexperia's device trees (of CM9) into the aokp source tree and made a build.
here is the first build for x10
http://bit.ly/x10aokp1
also the first build for arc (lt18/lt15) {i do not know if it boots, as i don't have an arc to test}
http://bit.ly/arcaokp1
if any good rom cook is interested, you can try PORTING using files from these builds onto CM9 builds. {with credits}
(the apps will defiinitely work, the framework might or might not, port libs and bins intelligently, i have not much idea about porting aosp based roms)
i am very very new to the scene, and have extremely nominal programming knowledge, and i do not know where this project will take me, but i will not give up without a fight
more builds will come up soon
debugging is a pain in the a$$ because the android gadget is broken in kernel (that's for x10, for arc, i do not even have the device) and thus i cannot do the good old "adb logcat" to find errors.
once i get the arc build up, i might think or other devices too, but for now i ca nconcentrate only on arc and x10

Development Suggestions for X10 {championswimmer}

Ok, so it's not like this that I have 23 hours of free time each day, and it's not that any and every suggestion that pops up on this thread will be looked into, but I just wanted to ask you guys...
What new do you want on the X10?
I'll update the list below as and when people keep submitting their requests/suggestions
Of course please refrain from posting things like
"I want Windows 8 to run on my X10"
I want some suggestions that are at least 'plausible' if not 'possible'
-------------------------------------
1. Get camera working on ICS/CM9/AOKP
2. Dual boot gb and ics
3. CM7 kernel based on latest FXP125 sources with more features
4. CM7 and CM9 kernels for locked bootloaders
5. Xperia S ics rom port
6. JellyBean for X10 (in distant future, so not thinking of it right now)
-------------------------------------

I wanna ask you if you can build a kernel based on fxp125 cm7 kernel with additional governors, oc etc. Just like your previous one but based on updated by fxp 125 one. Thanks
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app

Not asking for me but build cm7/cm9 based kernel for locked bootloader ( I am already unlocked lol). I dont know if its possible

I know that it will be an impossible work....but :
porting Jelly Bean for x10i..... Obviously the hardware features of the x10 are those....so you may try to bring the technical prescriptions of design or setting
thxxx

Focus on ICS ..
I think we have enough GB based roms..

It's jealy bean time beach!!!
Send from beneath my cloak of magic

I think your suggestions of a working camera and locked bootloader kernals would be great

1. Get camera working on ICS/CM9/AOKP

Dual booting ics along with gingerbread.. make gingerbread kernel default and we can boot ics by killing it.. something like that!!!

I believe making ICS kernel default would be better and getting the camera to work on ICS/CM9/AOKP.

Lord give us a team KTG 3.x kernel for ics. Whoops, wrong thread... jk. I would love it if you assisted tsuyou kou and the KTG team with their kernel development, as i believe the last commit to the 2.6.32.9 kernel was 1 month ago. Not bashing their work or asking for etas. Just hoping they can get more devs (assuming they want help of course...)

seeing that cyanogenmod has released their official CM 9 for around 40 devices, would it possible to make a port of that to the x10? I might sound like an idiot, but that seems easier than building an entire ROM from scratch...

FPS unlock and camera on ICS would be awesome ! Just improve your AOKP and your kernels Champ, it's already really great ...

It's kinda off topic and useless, but I sent Sony Mobile an email about
camera sources (jni/wrapper).
You guys did a much better and well written topic, but maybe we can get something.
Just to ask, is buying/donating for Sony a possibility? In last case, would it be legally plausible, expensive?

[DEV]Mozilla Boot to Gecko

Searching a dev who understand about source ... i wona build mozilla boot to Gecko for X8 :fingers-crossed: or help in this theard ..

Yes .. the system its too big for our device... so i search and a dev for kernel or help (to do sd-ext in kernel)

And why..B2G is alpha stage..wait for stable ROM
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

I know.. but you wona say its not better to do it ........

Honestly, why? Why on earth would you need B2G on an X8? You're far better off trying to develop for JB or ICS. But I support you and would also like to help, but I cannot download the sources as my Internet connection sucks big time. And also you need to figure out a way to run the kernel from sd-ext if I'm not mistaken. So if the sdcard goes bust somehow, the user's screwed (for some time), right? Keeping these things in mind, I personally feel that developing for JB or ICS would be far better. Still with you, if you need any help.

You can take a look at the github.com/adfad666 .
He started on porting to LG P500. As we share the same chipset it can be used as base for x8 too.
It compiles for us, but we have some booting issues. But if someone over here manages to solve it...

Heard from Adfad666 that a lot of code is armv7-based, so there is still some work...
You should use nAa cm9 kernel for it.

I think you should stick with Ubuntu 13.04 or else Linux Mint 15
Because bbqlinux its hard to install some updates. Compiling gives alot of errors. I'm switching my OS on Ubuntu 13.04 by this friday

@Hashy what happened to your old Kernel and ROM that you would start from scratch ?? I mean any reason for that ?? y not continue dev. cuz that would be easier and faster isn't it.. did the old ROM boot ? did you boot into 4.3 yet I mean through any means ?

I think that you can not compete . You should create together---> it is better---> Have a good rom with kernel than 2 ragged rom with 2 kernel. But mike can work on rom and you can work on kernel This is just my opinion sorry for bad english!

And that's the reason why we don't have 3.4 kernel and 4.3 ROM yet. It's because nobody wants to share work with others or work together on one kernel and one ROM. Anyway i wish you all luck.

hmmm.. unity is strength.. Xperia play is no more about Cosmic Dans Turbo Kernel.. or Lupus's Kernel.. or AOKP or CyanagenMod.. (I mean all this in a good way) we need a "ROM" 4.2/4.3 for Xperia Play and a "Kernel" for Xperia Play.. the brand, the dev, no matters no more.. and the way things are,, I really think dev's should team up to make one Good Rom.. and One Good Kernel.. cuz I don't think Xperia Play would last till Android 6.0 .. so just this device one good last push.. and see how things work out. Split work will only increase/duplicate work.. delay the ROM/Kernel and maybe the ROM would never get rid of bugs.

Guys I don't think teaming up is going to happen, the old thread got deleted so I can't show you any of the stuff that happened. But it got pretty nasty so lets not bring working together up and just focus on getting a stable 4.3 build for our Xperia Play's

Actually yes that seems like a good idea, as 4.3 is only a minor update of 4.2 and people have had success on the play before building 4.2 (without wifi though). But my main concern is being ready for 4.4, which if it is as ram light as everyone says and runs just as fast as gingerbread as everyone is saying, would be perfect for our Xperia Play's. But beggars can't be choosers as I always say

Probably you haven't understand the problem: the problem wasn't you using some of the lxp's commits, the problem was you not asking permissions like everyone else; now probably mike want let you use his work as a base, but it isn't because he is selfish and didn't allow the other people to use his work, it is because you go against the common rule
