Kernel Header File??

Hello
I want to add something in my header file, where is it located?
Do i need recompile my kernel? Any instructions/tutorial?
EDIT:
I may not only need edit header! Anyone could tell me how to add SysV IPC to my Kernel?
Thanks.

look up htc-linux.org.
to get and install the headers (default is on the host /usr/src/kernel)
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path-to-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- install_headers_all <path_to_install>

lol.. think you have a bit misunderstand me...
ok, i think i'm wrong, i want to ask "which" toolchain should i use...
in the startguide:
CROSS_COMPILE= env var is important. read more about it on toolchain page.

i goto the toolchain page, and there are few toolchain(codesourcery, gentoo, etc.), which one should i use?
thanks.

Problem sloved, another question have posted...
**PS: i didn't open THIS post also because of the chrome browser, now, i didn't use your link(cuz it need to compile a new chromium browser), i have used the normal arm chrome browser release...

Do you have the taskbar working with your setup? I ask because I tried it and I do not get a taskbar.

yes I modified it... its because of the opengl render... needs to be replaced with EGL...

updated git...

Since this is an AOSP it signs the source as it's built. Any changes to the java/c files will be autosigned. Now if you are just trying to include an apk, that youd need to just rebuild the installer package and resign. Also I saw this little tool available: http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html

Thanks man. I copied the wpa_supplicant file from nexus s's ics wifi patch to the a500 rom. It can be flashed, but the wifi is still not working. Is it the right way to write updater-script file?
PHP:
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("************************************************");
ui_print("* *");
ui_print("* Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.1 *");
ui_print("* For A500 *");
ui_print("* WiFi Patch *");
ui_print("* *");
ui_print("************************************************");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Installing patch...");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 2000, 0755, "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
unmount("/system");
Then, here is the wpa_supplicant from NS. View attachment updater-script.7z
Here is the whole wifi patch from NS. View attachment ics-crespo-aosp-4.0.1-wifi-patch-unsigned.zip
That's all that I found last night. Maybe they are not useful.
At last. Tour, which way did u make the wifi work? Can u public it?

updated git for what I've done so far...
hope someone can get the rest of the stuff working... I'm running out of ideas...

added my latest build for ICS in op post

Thor, you are the freaking man.

those system apps use lots of hidden API which is not available in android SDK (security reason i guess)..
maybe this blog can help u out http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/

Maybe you will need to add some external libraries like the supportv4 library.

Contributing to the project
All submissions must be made via gerrit
Prerequisites:
Sign up at gerrit.paranoidandroid.co
Create a username on gerrit (Account Settings -> HTTP Password)
Register your public ssh key (Account Settings -> SSH Keys)
Set your gerrit username on your local machine using:
git config --global review.gerrit.paranoidandroid.co.username “username” (no quotes)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are two options available for uploading your changes to gerrit (Repo Upload or Git Push).
Note: Linux is case sensitive, the items below are written as they should be in terminal
Repo Upload
repo start <branch> <path to repo> | example repo start haloStuff frameworks/base
cd to your working folder | example cd frameworks/base
Make your changes¹ (manual edits or cherry-picked commit)
Stage your changes using: git add <path to files changed> | example
git add packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/halo/Halo.java
Alternately, you could stage all changed files using: git add .
Commit your changes² using: git commit -a
repo upload <repo name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Git Push
The same steps as above apply up to and including performing your local commit.
Replace the repo upload (final step) with the following:
git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)
git push ssh://[email protected]:29418/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base HEAD:refs/for/jb43
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to update commits in gerrit:
Ensure your previous commit submission or the commit you wish to update is at the head of the given repo tree
Make your updates/changes
git add -A
git commit --amend
Append your changes to the description (Do not remove the change-Id from the previous commit)
Use: git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** Before uploading anything, please build and test your changes.
1* - If you're cherry-picking a commit that has not gone through a change-Id process, you will not be able to upload it. Simply attempt to upload and when it errors, a change-id will be suggested. Add this Id to the bottom of your commit by amending your original commit statement and then proceed to upload.
git commit --amend
2* - The following format should be used when making your commit statement.
Single project commit example
Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.
* Denoted either by an asterisk (*)
- Or by hyphens (-)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Optional: Include a link to a screenshot, if your change has some visible impact.
Multi-project commit example - Each commit should be numbered [x/y]
[x/y] <Component> : Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.

Best Practice
It is good practice to retain original committer's credentials, such as making sure the commit author is directed to their github username. Also, documentation of where coding came from if cherry picked would be greatly appreciated (provide direct links where possible).
If your are aware of who the original author is but your cherry-pick does not contain this information, you can fill in the original author name by using
git commit --amend --author "FirstName LastName <[email protected]>"

Sorry, was digging around for an answer and the best explanation I can find as to why it cannot be changed was here:

Put bluntly, even if we do change it could break other things in Gerrit. Something I'm not a particular fan of doing.

Ok no issues. thanks anyway.

@Anu6is I cherry-picked from the gerrit and made some changes in the files. I now want to upload the changes. When I give the command git commit --amend I make the necessary changes and when I push the change through git push it creates a new open commit. What should I do.
The changes are mere clean up according to the comments in the initial commit.

You need to place the Change ID of the commit on gerrit as the last line of your commit message in terminal.
You can simply copy the change id from gerrit. It's on the right side of the commit message

J700P CyanogenMod Dev Thread (NEW!)

Hey guys, after the recent collapse of the dev thread by messi, I've decided to try to build CM13 for myself. I've created a thread to post progress and such. My vendor and device trees will be updated periodically on Github until the first working build. In a comment below my post, I will post the current error I get when I try to build it.

CURRENT BUG:

I have been still working on that and i have been comparing with the other j7 vendor trees as well to get a successful build

My builds as if late seem to be getting more and more successful. I'm thinking I'm getting close to a complete build.

Did u ever get through ur errors yet i almost got a build done just need to add install-recovery.sh to my build that was the last error i delt with i had to do some tweaking on the kernel to get the errors to go bye bye im using the original kernel and vendor files and the brunch cm_j7ltespr-userdebug -j4 instead of just make -j4 i got the kernel and dtb built so very close indeed!

yeah i'm working on cleaning up vendor right now. what did you have to do to kernel?

There was broken files and a suggestion you dont need the frameworks folder in the vendor folder it has the touchwiz framework and when ur building u must use the default framework folder or you will have errors

thanks for the suggestion. i will come back if i find anything that i think you should know about. i'm going to update the vendor files on github and start building on a remote server

Lol I wonder how u are able to build using this tree
https://github.com/minz1/android_device_samsung_j7ltespr/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk#L27
It looks for msm8939 config while the kernel source only have msm8929 config
https://github.com/minz1/android_ke...arch/arm/configs/msm8929_sec_j7_spr_defconfig
Also no lines for the used architecture or target cpu , it's better to use my tree to save your time and get past many errors.
