[Q] Get kernel framebuffer console

Hello XDA users!
I'm so confused with this thing. I've been trying to do that nearly a month. After a billion google queries and phone reboots (if my N4 could throw up, it would) I got nothing.
First of all, I can't compile the kernel.
Sys info: I'm on Arch Linux 3.12.1-3-ARCH 64 bit.
I have all the three google toolchains (arm-linux-androideabi-4.{6,7,8}) and currently I'm trying with 4.8.
With default config (I stress that) I get this: http://showterm.io/1a41b9af919653f53a890
I use google's repo (https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git) on the android-msm-mako-3.4-kitkat-mr0 branch (I use occam-krt16o build on my N4).
I know this must be noobish problem, but I have no idea what's the problem...
Thanks in advance!

I've got some news!
First of all, you need to edit scripts/gcc-wrapper.py to use python2.7 and not 3.
However, 4.8 toolchain spits some errors and I'm not really into casting spells just to compile with 4.8 instead of 4.7. If there is a major difference between them (performance improvements etc.) I'll look into it.
Now it's time to implement the framebuffer changes to the .config

UPDATE: Well, I applied this patch (https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel...a9d#diff-94babbe85a910bf17f882465a760c431R608), I can only get blank screen. Any ideas?

Bump.

Hi does anyone know how to get this to work.
I have an Alcatel OT918D ANDROID 2.3.5.
I have managed to compile my own kernel and boot it. But for adding the frame buffer option in the makefile I get this error during compilation:

Chromium_org gives error all the time

Hello, I'm trying to compile OmniRom but after last repo sync I'm getting this error:

I have tried with chromium_org from CM11 (which compile without any errors) and the same thing appear.

So I suppose adding a flag somewhere will fix that error but I'm not sure which flag and where.
Do you have any clue how to solve it?

[MOD][4.1.2] Media scanner Fix for I9070

Finally ported this mod for our device:
[How-To] Potential Media Scanner Fix for XXLSJ-MS1/XWLS8-LSD-LSE-LSJ
Requirements:
- Touchwiz 4.1.2
- Knowledge in decompile/recompile jar file
- A nandroid backup to restore in case of failure
Steps:
1) Decompile Framework.jar
2) Paste MediaScanner.smali to \framework\smali\android\media\ (in attachment)
3) Recompile.
Or try my flashable zip, valid just for a deodexed UBLPK firmware.
Note: This fix is not exactly equal to shoman94 fix, to result compatible for our device.
In case you flash a new rom or a nandroid backup, you'll have always to clean Media Storage in this way:
Settings > Applications > Media Storage > Clear data, force stop and reboot.

Thanks for sharing! I was looking for a way to do this - but I'm glad that you figured it out first!
Unfortunately, I can't recompile my framework.jar after replacing my MediaScanner.smali with yours. This is the error I get:

Thanks for sharing your framework.jar. I decompiled it and used your MediaScanner.smali in my framework.jar - and it recompiled without any errors this time :laugh:
I checked both the MediaScanner smali files and although they were the same, there was a difference of 2 KB. So I've shared this MediaScanner.smali (see below) in case someone gets the same errors I got earlier.

Thanks in advance.
