Kernel 3

1.does ICS run on Linux kernel 3(default)
2.cant we use kernel 3 on our X8
3. if 1 and 2 is yes, why dont we try to build kernel 3 and work 100% ICS.
please dont blame me please post your idea (sorry about my bad english)

i once posted the same thing....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495237
it goes like this:we need to port drivers to the kernel which is very hard and takes a lot of time
dont worry our devs our talented enough to port it...never lose hope
{possibility}DX is not updating anymore so probabely hes is busy porting it...hehe
ps-i tried to compile cm-kernel-2.6.32...it failed

Rahat34, there's a wee bit more to it ...
IF you would set out to put together a Linux 3.x.x kernel the challenge you will face is more like this ...
1. You need to forward-port the SEMC drivers out of the 2.6.29 source and also adapt drivers to the updated ABI of Linux 3.x.x
2. You need to forward-port the various CPU governors and stuff others wrote up (like alfsamsung and nobodyAtall in their respective kernels) and also make them fit the Linux 3.x.x ABI.
3. You need to bend others things in the Kernel into shape to work with Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs ... as you most likely started out with a vanilla kernel source from kernel.org
*ABI = Application Binary Interface - not to be mistaken with "API"
That task is so massive and huge that a single developer - able to do the stunt - will possibly spend MONTHS on porting stuff and testing things out on the get-go (and we're talking about a dedicated amount of hours per day here).
In other words - it's unlikely that someone will take the trouble to port stuff to Linux 3.x.x

thank you B.Jay for the info....i keep learning more tings on xda

FenomenalMod is v9 now, better you erase version no. Becoz kernelz are updating weekly so you have to update version number everytime, and alpha kernel is out of development so it will better to remove

[Help Me!!] Collecting Custom Kernel Download Links

I have noticed that the majority of custom kernel posts have broken or missing links. Please, can we make a link tree here with all the custom kernels download links (in their latest versions)? I would greatly appreciate it (if you dont want to make them public, send them via pm). It seems like the kernel development community of this phone is dead..
