[HELP][I9001] I need "kernel with loop device support" for ubuntu port to our device

[HELP][I9001] I need "kernel with loop device support" for ubuntu port to our device
Hi !
Im "porting" ubuntu to our device, and only need a kernel with LOOP DEVICE SUPPORT.
Please, any people can have a kernel for I9001 with this feature ???

I don't know exactly for what you need it. Maybe take a look at the busybox android version. I think it has the capability to mount loop.

But for use ubuntu in any android device need "loop support in kernel", or this say the creator...

offtopic-anyone used swap on galaxy s+?

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-build-your-own-htc-evo-4g-android-kernel/
They describe the necessary steps to configure the kernel there. On
https://opensource.samsung.com -> Mobile / mobile phone search for 9001, download, build your environment, set everything up, compile it, extract ramdisk, make new boot.img and flash it.
Edit: Sakindia has made a good tutorial. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396519

That's a lot to me, any people can make it ????

Why you want to port ubuntu to our device if you can't compile your own kernel. Dont't wont soind hard but i think compiling a kernel is much easier than porting ubuntu...

i am only canging the scripts for compatibility with our device, I ask only that...

If you ask a nice question to sakindia, maybe he adds that to his kernel if feasible.

@adfad666, @jerpelea, can you please confirm this?
Did you use sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft or sonyxperiadev/kernel on Github? Or something else?

@Olivier
The kernel used in the aosp build is a prebuilt one.
But there are aosp builds outside of xda booting on a tweaked stock kk kernel.
So the stock kernel definitly boots on aosp.

I know, and that's why I asked I still want a confirmation from jerpelea or adfad666.
BTW, you can flash any kernel on any ROM and it will "boot", the problems are mostly the ramdisk or some configs (e.g. prima).

Ok, lets wait for @jerpelea s answer .
All i know is that the command line to assemble the ramdisk slightly differs from stock and cm, as i've build an aosp kernel some months ago.

kernel is prebuilt on aosp and is built from our source
if you build kernel with android from source you just waste time on build
kernel is rarely updated and is just a waste of time to recompile it every time
this kernel version is not in sync with official releases and updating kernel will break blobs, use provided kernel !
you can build yourself kernel binary and wlan module and then place them into aosp tree

new guides published
http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/

I wonder what voodoo magic did sony did the rom seems way faster then cm11 ?
is the blobs and kernel based on .283 ? @jerpelea

Custom Kernel Request for MM

We no longer have any custom kernel for z2 and z3,only advanced stock so im asking here:
If you are a dev and know how to compile a kernel - please try to make MM kernel with few most needed features for all of us who were using androplus kernel and really dont feel good on stock kernels.
Probably most people would like undervolting,one or two custom govs etc.We dont need all the great features of androplus kernel,just some of them..
There must be someone with enough skill to add some features to kernel,mayby our z2/3 community could get together and add some bounty for that.
Sony released the sources already:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/all-downloads/open-source-archive-for-23-5-a-0-570/
If you know how to compile but scared to test on your own phone,then im up for testing on my Z2.

Totally agree, best features would be underrvolting and one or two custom governors!

In great need of a custom kernel for MM. On the other hand, is it possible to keep LP kernel and flash MM ROM?

It is possible but MM wont work on LP kernel - different drivers etc.

Is it bootloop? Can a bootloopfix solve it?

No, MM differs a lot from LP on kernel side and there is no way to make MM run on LP kernel.What i meant before is that you can keep LP kernel on MM (you asked about it) but I totally didnt mean it will ever work

[KERNEL][Z2] Advanced stock kernel Marshmallow 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.0.570
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413
Works great - I unlocked BL

Meh its just a stock kernel with recovery,will do just right for some users but here we were talking about custom kernels,which give you more control over phone hardware.

I'm willing to create a custom kernel, I have some Linux background but I need help of course. I'm using this custom stock kernel for MM too. I just want the "zzmoove" governor on it, some underclock & overclock and QUICK CHARGE feature. I have the building environment set up, just need some help now.
Hear me, big brothers.

I know how to compile kernel from source, did it often with AndroPlus Kernel (to add QC), but I don't know how to add features to the kernel and how to fix stuffs and how to work with github...
Gesendet von meinem SM-T230 mit Tapatalk

Now I try to compile the kernel from source, getting nowhere with the Sony developer guide. It will be great if some one can shed some light on it.

I think we should invite AndroPlus or Myself5 to this thread,mayby together we could figure out something.If i remember correct there is a sort of a tutorial on androplus github but its not enough.Mayby creating a small chat group on whatsapp with some more expirienced kernel devs would do for you guys? I can try to ask a few about that.

On vacations I'll surely give it a try, lets better do it with Telegram, not everyone wants to give his number
Gesendet von meinem SM-T230 mit Tapatalk

Hello everyone !
I will see if I have time for this.
In the mean time, for those trying to compile the kernel and have problem, don't hesitate to contact me by pm. I'll also subscribe to this thread.

Great! Conpiling the kernel from source is not that difficult, just to add features is not easy or fix bugs..
Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk

The kernel is not booting.
This might be difficult to debug since it doesn't seem to be from the kernel nor the ramdisk.

There is a xperia_readme inside Kernel folder. It says it's for C6543, not sure if that contribute to the issue of not booting.
I also just compiled the zImage. I just don't know where to get the ramdisk.img and commandline. Can someone help me out?

Hi, I think this would be a great idea, especially if the dev can add the multirom (kexec-hardboot patch) support.
Thanks

Interesting. Is the a version of cm13 on the way? Or other custom ROMs?

Ill try to finish a complete cm12.1 build and if this works well ill switch to cm13 if i find the binary blobs for Android 6 or if the old blobs works with MM

Excellent. Soon as I get a chance this evening I'll charge up the tablet and fastboot flash recovery your image.
Shocking to think a cheap Teclast tablet has had more use lately due to my ultratablet being essentially useless thanks to repeated freezes and occasional reboots. Shame really, as the physical device is fantastic. (I really should grab a logcat from the device to see what's causing the freezes but I've been busy with things and I suspect the logcat may not catch the problem. )

fastboot flash recovery 12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-sk1wg_recovery.img gives the following error output

I wouldnt flash it, its needing fine tuning, something is wrong with size. But you can boot it just to show someone is working on cm build

I, too, will test when available. Unlike TWRP or even CWM I've used in the past, the Cyanogenmod recovery does not seem to have the ability to perform a system backup. Is this something to be added or just do full backups via adb?
Thanks for all your hard work.

No cm recovery cant to backups, thats why i use cwm 6.0.5.1. I build it only for cm maybe is going official sometime.
As far as i know, twrp isnt posible, our device has the same limits like the Asus tf701t and there was never a twrp except a kang build. But i havent enough knowledge at the Moment, maybe after ive finished the cm build

Thanks mate. Jide's kernel source is realy strange, they dont to it easy for their community to support custom roms. You've to change a lot in kernel config files only to build the recovery. Now im debugging why kernel wont Boot, maybe i need a null serial cable (usb to serial) to get some debug output to my host console (Linux).
Dont know if its serious for others and i dont know if its the correct definition in english, here in switzerland its called morbus crohn. But thanks for your support ?

Goal(on hold): port stock A6 exynos 7870 oreo to j7 2016

Hi, i have started a spare time project to port a6 oreo stock rom to j7 2016.
So far, i jave setup android kitchen and working on basics.
I have both the device source.
If any one wants to assist me on this, you would be most welcomed.
Since both device use same chipset, it should be easy to port kernel and device related files. I shall check the drivers and work on which one suits j7 2016.

Update 1 :
Today i tried to merge both roms. I modified few parameters of boot.img and took drivers from system/driver folder.
I also took audio libraries and camera files from old rom to new one.
Flash was done, no brick but no boot as well.
I cant connect the phone with ADB too.
I flashed back to stock rom for now and will try again.

Thanks a lot buddy

A question, would this work to with a similar device ( a tablet with the exynos 7870). I could take the Oreo ROM and kernel source, put my defcon in the Oreo source, build an image and dtb, unpack the Oreo boot img, replace the images, repack (change some other files like display ect in ramdisk/ default.prop) ?
