Very promising to see a bonified Android Dev usin' the Sprint tab! I'm no Dev, but I'd love to hear your progress... I too have wanted to try and learn, but life seems to play great defense...lol. let us know how hard it is to get the toes wet!

good start point for someone learning how to make a custom rom would be to download a rom and unpack it..
you will see then what its made of and if you feel like it you could simply add a few bits re-theme it remove a few items then .zip it all back together...
this would earn you the title of a 'Win-Zip-Dev' !!
or you could just download android sdk learn a bit of java and learn to love linux for a year, then you would more likely find yourself with a more respectable 'Rom-Dev' status.
good luck - happy development

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for
Most ROM hackers here repackage Samsung's binary releases with extra/or less stuff and sometimes modified initramfs/kernel.
If you want to build CM6 from source I can help you with that, PM me.
Good luck with AOSP, it is missing ton of stuff to run on Tab.
We have had native Linux on our Iconias for quite a while now but the builds and kernels are getting outdated, Unity is here and there is no real direction as to what needs to be accomplished.
This thread has been started principally for two kinds of people:
Kernel and Linux developers whom can offer advice or indeed actual code
Iconia enthusiasts for suggestions / ideas as well as any logic they may have
This thread does not aim to make Linux on our Iconias poof out of nowhere. It requires a huge amount of work to get going although with proper information exchange it should be much easier to get the project going.
The current ToDo list is as follows (feel free to post me more):
RootFS on /data/linux
Kernel initrd which will chroot to /data/linux
Linux Kernel will boot off mmcblk0p7
Upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 (although RootStock is now deprecated, we can just download a pre-built bundle for the arm-eabi FS, use live-build or get a pre-made RootFS. There's lots of options for this)
Build the kernel from scratch (this is kind of obvious anyway). Building for armhf sounds like a good idea
Full graphics acceleration from the Tegra 2 for Unity
Perhaps a build of Backtrack (this shouldn't be too difficult - they offer an image for arm. If it can share the kernel then we should be okay)
A501 3G Modem
USB Huawei Modems (although initial Googling seems to imply the compatibility of usbserial.ko and hence OOTB compatibility so long as a udev rule is added)
Camera, sensors and non-patchy wifi (issue on 2.6.38 although the nvidia drivers below should fix this)
Latest Linux kernel (ie 3.1.x)
We have plenty of resources at our disposal such as:
Dual Boot Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619913
ICS Kernel source: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...AB&Step3=A500&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_27
A 2.6.x chromeos-based kernel with quite a bit of functionality implemented: https://github.com/astarasikov/iconia-gnu-kernel
Linux for Tegra which provides many drivers for porting Linux to the Tegra chips: http://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra
Kexecboot - a bootloader on a kernel image system which could be placed on mmcblk0p2 and can give us huge flexibility in terms of launching a kernel (http://kexecboot.org)
I've looked inside the Linux for Tegra package and a HUGE amount is in there including x configurations, hardware drivers, Broadcom wifi firmware and the list goes on.......
There's also a codec package so we can have native video acceleration in loads of formats.
The bootloader will, at least initially, probably be the default Acer one. We could utilise kexecboot in the future as noted above
What we need:
A system for organising the code. CI & trac?
Perhaps a wiki.... or at least somewhere to organise ideas and reversed data
Either role assignment or a huge number of 'issues' with the code on a system such as trac and anybody can fix any issue
What works without kernel hacking:
Sound: The Wolfson WM8903 sound chip has driver provided by Wolfson which have been integrated directly into the official Linux kernel source (source: http://opensource.wolfsonmicro.com/content/linux-drivers-wolfson-devices)
Wi-Fi (almost) - the broadcom drivers are available with a simple apt-get. They are also available through Linux for Tegra
Graphics Acceleration (Hardware) - the drivers and codecs come from Linux for Tegra
armhf - Support for the hard float capabilities is built right into the Tegra2 and both Ubuntu and Linux for Tegra provide this support alongside the (seemingly legacy!) armel
The RootFS can now be built with qemu-debootstrap
Please let me know if I forgot anything else (which I undoubtedly did!)
I'm all in. I can do whatever is needed. Looking For Backtrack more than Ubuntu but i'd imagine once we get the Kernels sorted any distro will be easy to make work. Looking forward to the FUN.
First, we have 3.0.0 kernel by sp3dev (having issues), I'll take look on that one. Eventhough kernels 3.0.y and 3.2.y (not 3.1.10 - that's EOL!) are good enough.
Secondly, kernel does not chroot, a script in initrd image does chroot (this isn't any magic). As in the previous question about cmdline, it's just say "dynamic configuration" for the kernel (as where to find rootfs etc.). In the linux kernel, it's hardcoded right now (needs to be undefined).
First, it's better to get points 1) - 3) working for now.

There is a strong focus on the preliminary uboot bootloader, however. I'm not sure if this would replace the Acer bootloader or be chainloaded? Ideally we just want a boot img on mmcblk0p7. Can somebody confirm this for me?

No that's not possible. U-boot will be standalone bootloader (i.e if u-boot, then no Acer BL). Right now, my patch in Acer BL gives us a "sub-bootloader" (don't want to call it second-stage bootloader, because it always returns back to Acer BL, eventhough we submit the image as a byte array (and not a partition)).
I think its a good idea to start from 3.1.10 that's on nv git and has linux variant too...

I think its a good idea someone cares to share his android kernel source. I tried to rebase my cros patches on top of nvidia android branch and most stuff seems to boot, but fb is not working.
I think I'll make a new version of uboot that will be able to boot custom kernel from a file/script in data partition and stock kernel from recovery partition. I have made a good port of uboot to sgs2 and now I know how to handle boot mode detection via gpio. Sadly I'm not using my iconia at all lately.
P.S. Everything works on 2.6.38 except camera and sensors. Wifi is unstable. What else could anyone probably want
Add to todo. 3G modem for A501
While the dual-boot bootloader is nice, it's not the best solution, in my opinion. Kexecboot would offer a nice multi-boot solution with a GUI. We'll have the ability to compile kernels on the native Linux environment without flashing every time. By simply passing arguments to the kernel (the one kexecboot loads), we can have it boot off of any partition Linux can see. This would eliminate any restrictions that the dual-boot bootloader may have. This would also be beneficial to users who prefer booting from non mmcblk0p7, non boot-img systems. (I personally prefer something along the lines of mmcblk1p1, with no boot img). Kexecboot already works for the Tegra 2, and has touchscreen abilities, so porting wouldn't be too terribly difficult. See here and here.
As far as distros go, we should look at something compiled for armhf. That'll help increase speeds. The tegra2 drivers already have a hard float pre-release available to play with.
If I think of anything else, I'll edit this post.
Added all your changes
What exactly is the aim of this thread?
Is it for the improved quality of different Linux distros in general of the Tab?
Is it for the creation of a single distro which will run decently?
Is it for just for spitballing ideas about the above ideas?
Stating a single goal will help us accomplish said goal with greater ease.

Okay, so none of the distros you named could be ran on our tablet. They're all Intel/AMD only. We have an ARM device. It's a beautiful, low-power architecture, that only a few distros support. Arch Linux runs fairly smooth on it, even when running from a Class 4 external microsd card.
If you want to help, learn how to compile a kernel, the differences between x86 and ARM, and about some basic user-space tools which interact directly or almost directly with the kernel.
Honestly, I'm not trying to be an a-hole, but having a plethora of volunteers does nothing if the volunteers don't know how it works.

I meant no offense by my comment at all. You're inquisitive, which is very very necessary for this project.

Hi, I'm newbie in developing android platform.
I'm searching for how to build and install the platform of android into gt-n7000.
I could find there is a post about kernel , but nothing about building, installing entire platform or ROMs.
As I saw that many custom ROMs for gt-n7000 in this forum, many good developers who knows how to build and install the custom platform are here.
Can you post how-to thread for newbies like me?? If there are such posts that I couldn't find already or the method is same with that of another device, let me know please..

Do not try building Roms. You might end up briking yours and others(should you release them). It's good to be inquisitive but assembling a rom without proper understanding of android/hardware and their limitations .... First learn about Unix and a few programming(c, java etc ) language, It's not the quick way but it is what I'd do. Unless you don't be a developers and just another guy with another mediocre ROM(whom have flooded xda lately) .

That's the Atrix 2 (OMAP), and that's Ubuntu for Android rather than Ubuntu Phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android, as I understand it, is basically the Webtop that we've already had for some time now and uses the kernel already on the device, whereas Ubuntu Phone OS is a complete replacement for Android, but the details themselves are a bit sketchy, like what display server they're using, what kernel is supported. Wouldn't it be both ironic and disappointing if it required an ICS/JB kernel, especially since we still have a Froyo/GB kernel.

Yeah, he identifies the device about 10 seconds or so in, but admittedly if he didn't the only other way to identify it would be process of elimination, looking at the logo's and figuring it out that way.

I don't think this will be fully working without an ICS Kernel.
I think an effort like this worths a try, since we can aways update the userspace ubuntu packages, keeping the old kernel. I don't see why the old gingerbread kernel wouldn't work.
Hi all,
Is there any chance to run Sailfish OS on a non-Jolla phone? I would prefer a bigger screen and I'd prefer to not wait for their phone.
Assuming that the drivers from Android are compiled for the same Linux kernel version as I want to run in Sailfish, they should be loadable.
So then it's just a question of whether Sailfish is written to use the same devices (in /dev) in the same ways.
Anybody know?
Cheers.

Nobody knows yet, because nobody hasn't been able to have a look at it, since it hasn't been released. But I doubt that the kernel would match, since it doesn't even match on different Android phones. There are always some minor changes.

in android devices in /dev very often is used from binary blobs.
and this blob compiled againts another libc called bionic and it is not compatible with glibc, but Jolla phone will use android drivers via special library.

Well, the Sailfish OS runs on linux kernel thats for sure and soon it will have the capability to run almost all of the android apks, which means it can not be totally different form android form 'under-the-hood' so there is always some room to try it on your android devices.
I haven't really tried to explore Sailfish OS much, but if u do, plz tell me and I would like to do it on my phone (Moto xt910).
