Hi there!
As you may know, there is a 60$ phone in amazon that's pretty much the best budget phone right there with the advantage that amazon is updating security flaws.
We where waiting for the release of the kernel, and after a month of a lot of fighting they release it. Now devs can do their awesome work.
Update 9/11/2016:

There's no other BLU device with this chipset and kernel combo. You'll be pretty much pioneers, paving the way for future MT6735 devices with 3.18 kernel.
You'll be gods, cheap gods but still gods!.
So, bring your talent and your friends, we'll be happy to test out your amazing work :good:
Here is the Index of the device w/o the kernel

And after I meant to hit return and not send AM I THE ONLY ONE EXCITED ABOUT THIS PHONE!?
My little $55 non nexus...nexus...

Wow i'm impressed with the price/hardware combo :0 Good phone, even with MediaTek. :good:

Faster than my Verizon S7 Edge. No joke.
The only thing that loads slower on my R1 is Riptide GP2...

I'm not the brightest with all of this stuff, but does this mean we can now make cyanogenmod for this phone?

Well, it means a lot more. You can now change clock speeds or build fancy stuff into the kernel (e.g. doubletap2wake). Also it is possible in theory to update the kernel to match newer Android versions. If you don't have kernel sources you are "caught" with the Android version (and derivates) the device ships with.

Since Team M.A.D released a lot of MTK code, it should be reasonably easy to bring up CM for this. I neither have time at the moment to do this nor do I own the phone, lol. Otherwise I would do it since MTK SoCs are quite well known to me. Good luck to you guys!
Edit: I downloaded the source to play around a bit, but it does not yet compile... Let's see....

Well, it's "normal" for mtk kernel code to not compile out of the box. You have to fix some includes and patches because mtk uses a weird toolchain when building ROMs including kernels to they don't get these errors. I'm gonna upload my device tree once it compiles

i wonder if i can order this one to Europe...

Definitely considering this phone now. Big future for mediatek devices.

@superdragonpt: If I see this correctly, it's an m0 release? I thought m1 is state of the art, or am I mixing up things?

You should be able to buy it off eBay. Amazon.com doesn't even ship it to Canada ... it's a US exclusive for now. (Got mine through eBay)

Nah, the kernel's fine.
This commit allows it to compile and boot and operate normally. It looks like someone tried to implement a new feature in the MMC driver and left a header out. This code and that header aren't present in any other kernel that I've seen, so I assumed it was safe to revert. Both the internal MMC and the external SD card still work, so :good:
Also, to those of you putting the kernel into a git repo, make sure you delete the broken .git folders strewn about or everything you do in git will take twice as long.
The script that's supposed to append the DTB to the end of the kernel isn't working for me, so I had to append it myself to get it to boot. I'm investigating why this isn't automated now.

I've only checked the other kernel repo
I was referring to the broken targets
The nand commit you reverted was exported from the full build environment, it's meant to be used on compiling options
This source with the symlinks in place will compile just fine within the full source/environment from TINNO ( the ODM, that makes the devices)
Cheers, happy builds
PS:
If I find this cheap of eBay ( Europe ) I'll get one
The taxes I would had to pay shipping from US would probably be twice the device's value ...
Also this will be release (if not already) on Europe / Philippines with another brand name ( as always)
BLU Mediatek products are not a world exclusive ( even if they say otherwise)

You mean the targets in Android.mk? We don't need those if we're building AOSP or CM, right?

Even if that's the case, for now we really don't need to see flash info in the *#0661# screen, and that seems to be the only thing broken outside of their environment when building for p6601. Also, using symlinks in the kernel source sounds like a bad idea. I appreciate the insight. I hadn't considered that possibility.

Now that the source is fixed I could try compiling twrp now.

Just a few questions:
1. this kernel based on nAa sources? Or sense kernel sources? Or stock se sources? Or??? You wrote a lot of thing...
2. Where is the kernel sources? The link for the htc dev page is not enough... Every linux based kernel NEED the correct sources, because protected with GPL license. Read the threads from af974 and colossus in the dev section. But if you a developer you know it.
3. What is: Sense Modules???
4. At least one example (what is not available in other x8 kernels) from the "Ported various components from 2.6.35 / 38"???
5. Another example from "Many, many feature and stability patches from various kernel sources"???
6. ICS DRM support??? What is it??? All binaries/java classes related to drm functions is in the ROM... The drm support in nAa-14 kernel is only two thing, one is the added drm user in the init binary and a drmservice start in init.rc. WITHOUT the proper binaries/classes the "drm in the kernel" is nothing.
I don't want to say: your work is sh!t, and not want to be a troll, but WITHOUT CORRECT DESCRIPTIONS this kernel looks like a modded nAa-14 with a changed bootclasspath (what is needed for htc roms).
So, please correct the opening posts.

All this feature its from nAa-14 .. the GitHub HTKernel its from my private (anyother) profile .. just I need a time to do all this.. can't do it for 2'sec ..

Agree with you. this people is master of mod......most rom are add from market/remove apk. now release new mod kernel.. i know many of people dream getting real sense but is imposible... only can get mod sense..
if so easy at dev, everyone also can release iphone rom /kernel, window rom/kernel etc everyday. then get some thank at XDA or like at FB..... be a recognize Dev at xda
anyway, if you all are happy with mod rom , should be no problem. enjoy the rom.

I think peeps should give him a chance should what the op is up to eventhough his kernel explaination is abit confusing but still is a man work.
We should see the final build result then we can really comment about it

Okay then .. when release Sense .. try to boot it with nAa .. I'm searching help for one better Rom not for anyother ... Lets Release the ROM then start to talk about .. and I'm nothing here say " I'm developer " the devs choice you ..

you guys are wrong. the kernel has edited init.rc to allow us to boot SENSE when we have it. be patient he said it will be released tomorrow or soon.

Problem here is that the kernel was released without a ROM to test it out on. So as usual there will be speculations. If I were to blame danibosev alone, it would seem a bit one-sided since, unlike previous "sense trolls", he actually has some work to show. But if I were to blame the users speculating if this is BS or not would be just as bad because there's no ROM to test this with.
Bottom-line : OP should have waited till had had a completed project before he opened a thread. Look at serious devs like nAa. He finishes ALL his work and THEN opens threads. Not post 1/2 of the actual thing and ask to wait 1-2 days for the other half. Users should also give this guy the benefit of a doubt. He has a kernel. If you guys keep spamming, saying it's some soft modded kernel and suddenly he releases an actual Sense ROM, then what ? You will only be looked at as trolls in the future if this works out.
Again, not taking sides. Just my 2 cents. Back to development.

@sgt. meow
Why is the kernel so much bigger than nAa's kernel?

cus this kernel have more HTC tweaks so....

Well appreciate what OP has tried to build for the X8 Community but thing seem to not being how it should because kernel released before rom is done.
It would be nice if the rom already in working state at least boot and display or maybe more to be posted here.
Myself doesn't have any idea about this but as an user of xda we should respect people thread and give the OP sometime to prove the work.They don't earn for their work
I see there's effort but we just need give sometime to them to show their work.

1. The sources used to build the binary part of the kernel (kernel image), the bootclasspath is only a list in a text file in the ramdisk. A modded ramdisk is NOT a new kernel.
2. All linux kernel NEED the sources (in any usable form), this is NOT only an xda rule, try to search what is GPL, and read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19970628&postcount=1
3. Explained? What? Where?
4-5. nAa not give these infos? Try to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20391558&postcount=2 and this: https://github.com/nobodyAtall/nAa-kernel Not a hard work to find what ported from newer kernels, what is nAa own work, and what is others work...
6. Again: try to read something For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30606390&postcount=1085
And I'm rude? Why? Because ask something (related to the development?) The OP want other developers to help this development, but without correct informations this is not easy...

Yes, you are right. The correct way: do anything usable -> post it later = DEVELOPMENT
This form (post anything before it will be usable) is only a thanks collecting (and good place for haters/trolls/spammers...)
@RohinZaraki and Zackconsole: at least two man who understand something
@Danibosev: okay boy, I think better if you finish your work before post it. And if you don't know anything, please search and read, or ask from seniors/recognised devs. Maybe you can do a sense rom, maybe not, I don't know. But I know if you starting with bad things (like this useless thread) your name will be degraded...
So, I think better if you talk to the moderators to close/delete this thread, and IF your work COMPLETED (the time is not important if you need days/weeks/months to finish it, a lot of member who want sense on x8 still wait) you can (re)open this thread.

I know that.. currently no one is using it on any other rom and waiting for the sense rom to be out that's y im requesting to lock these thread untill rom is out.. if anyone wants to download the kernel they still can from the link it's just no one can post, so their isn't flames between our X8 user's as well as devs..

totally agree with you. @danibosev, you should've released both together. ask a mod to close this thread temporarily. and this can get you (and me) warnings and infractions.
@all wondering about kernel
this is in its initial stage. there will be more things added later, hopefully. please be patient and forgive us for this misunderstanding.

Hi All!
I have been trying to compile a Kernel for Android from Kernel.org Source. Avidly awaiting a Nexus 7 I got straight to work. I have created a zImage. I have been trying to document the process but rather than type it again I have been doing it here. If someone with a Nexus 7 wants to give this a go I would be very much grateful. This is an ongoing process. I have included the file and necessary instructions here...
It looks like I cant post external URL's .... YET! If you want to post here or PM Me I will send you the links.
If someone could test this for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'd like to help. How do you intend to test the kernel though? (since I'm not sure if it would work in Android, but of course you're probably more experienced than me)

Basically people flash it and then test it. People can provide their own benchmarks if they want. Against their previous Kernel versions etc. I have a sort of active thread on the Neowin Forums about this but I cant post links yet on XDA. I also got my VPS setup today to build and host the files.

Okay then, I can do that. I assume you can PM links?

You might be able to state the URL address in your post for your kernel. I'd test it and I guess others may also.

Hi All,
I have someone from Neowin who is going to post the links for me.
At the moment my guide and files are all disjointed I am trying to organize it better.

Great idea! I'll look around your thread @neowin.
What supposedly differences are there from the native android kernel and one compiled using the code from kernel.org?

Personally I just like playing with Bleeding Edge code. You would get all the latest features from source as well as bug fixes most end users wouldn't see. Performance is to be determined, Battery life and CPU performance etc. Its also quite a little Niche that I like been a part of if it all works and comes off.

The kernel you're compiling most likely won't work if you don't even have the machine definitions nor the drivers for your nexus (seeing that you have taken the source directly from kernel.org)
The best of testing a new version would be to backport it but doing so takes an incredible amount of time and considerable skills.
Envoyé de mon Nexus 7 en utilisant Tapatalk

I have used the Prebuilt ToolChain from git and also the defconfig to build the kernel from Google. I have created a boot.img this should make it easier. I am just waiting a Nexus 7 myself to test this anyway.

You need to have proper board files, proper drivers (device-specific ones) and tons more. I don't think it will work without those. Then chances are it's not going to compile properly; it will throw tons of errors. After you get it to compile, you have to get it to boot. After you get it to boot, you have to get it fully-functional (not necessary if this is a test kernel). So unless you have gone through it all, I don't think it'll work.
BUT I may be wrong.

It compiles no problem, That's what I am wanting people to test :good:

Hi!
Well I have not been on this for a few days however I set up a quick and dirty VPS. Looks like the process fell over. I have restarted it and published any files people might find useful on here.
http://svm24652.vps.tagadab.com:8000/
All actual builds are in the build folder.

wow you are building 3.13 kernel?! Impressive if it boots
I have a patched 3.4.76 AOSP kernel in my repo thats all hahaha

Do you have your 3.4 Kernel? Do you have notes how you built it?
Edit: Updated to include 3.13rc8

I have done some more merging from latest Mainline and Flo Kernel from Google. Its building as we speak. Time to head to Tesco.
Hopefully what I have done will get rid of a compile time error I was having.
Has anyone got the ones I made previous to boot. I have my Nexus 7 on the way as of today so I will be testing it on my own sooooon!! :good:

http://linux.jamessawyer.co.uk:8000/
A bit more easy to remember. There are some test builds and experimental stuff on there too. I might do requests if anyone wants me to make a build for their device let me know. Rather than the Nexus 7 2013. I only did that because thats the device I am getting

We will see, it is very hard to port when kernel is not given. There are people working on it and doing a very good job!
Sadly, the complete kernel (custom kernel with drivers) was leaked for a short period and a few devs have it.. but they are afraid to use or publish it because they don't want to be sued.

At least someone has it.. I am not so sure on how many have it. Don't be too excited yet, we might not get it (soon). The source can not just be published to the public, the one who does will face some problems.. (see what happened to incomplete source).

May i ask what happened?. And i know is not that easy, what i meant is that he (or they) could make a nice ROM build with that source, maybe as an anonymus guy or something like that, is not necesary to publish full source code. Our another hope is wait for MTK to release it , but it wont be soon, even could never happen

We can build roms ourselfs, just need proper kernel. Just let me say that much: I have a reliable source that told me someone has it. I don't think (anymore) it was leaked to the public ever, all kernel leaked on git were incomplete.

All kernel sources I've seen for X10 are not for our device. Another thing is the AOSP sources are very buggy and unfinished.
I finally made progress on my AOSP 5.1 and fixed the slow app launch (maybe you've seen one youtube video posted here - this is my build).
Unfortunately I don't have kernel source for Redmi Note 2 and it is impossible to build a custom kernel, so I'm trying to finish the ROM and will use prebuilt kernel.
If you think it is easy as porting, then you're wrong. Compiling something from source and fixing all bugs is completely different animal.
CM 12.1 also booted, but a lot of work needs to be done there too.

What is time to wake? On miui time is long :/ On our last phone (A820) time to wake is much better.
How aboute "tap to wake"? What is result on antutu? When you publish rom?

AOSP boots up and works faster than MIUI and also has much much better ram management, although it would be good if we could make a custom kernel.
Tap to wake normally needs to be supported in kernel, so the answer is "no".
Antutu score is irrelevant, but normally I get about 48K with the basic model. I've seen higher, seen lower.
It also depends on kernel.
Don't forget that for A820 I have a custom optimized kernel.

Since there are too many request to all developers about releasing or not a 6.0 custom ROM, I will start this thread on which we can talk about porting 6.0 and problem that there could be.
I'll post here all news if there will be, AND PLEASE DON'T ASK INCESSANTLY FOR ETAs
@CCD booted a build of Candy6 and that there is some work to do yet, but for now he didn't have much time.

@Android-Andi and @Ziyan booted already a build of 6.0, but there are many work at kernel level due to the use of Samsung kernel sources full of bloatware. Probably will need more work to get a good stability (remember that Tab2 is an old medium device), but many users asked him incessantly ETAs, something annoying and unnerving [emoji53]
So probably we have to wait a bit, if you have something to say, please don't mess other developent thread and don't pm continuously, but ask here (nothing prevents you from trying to build a test version however)
Finally the first builds of Marshmallow are out:
CM13:
Thanks to @Android-Andi and @Ziyan
Bugs:
- Keyboard FC fixed in 30-01 build
- Call doesn't work fixed
- Issues with SDcard mounting fixed in 30-01 build
The ROM is almost stable and ready for daily driver, it can be some lags due to very old hardware (Tab is from 2012 eheheh) but overall is a lot better than stock and very usable, thanks also to 908 MB of ram
- Galaxy Tab 2 7"
- Galaxy Tab 2 10"
Obviusly you have to wipe system, cache and data before install, reboot to recovery once and install rom and GApps
crDroid 6.0:
Thanks to @jejecule
Bugs:
- Keyboard FC (flash fix below)
- Call doesn't work (only 3g variant)
Links:
- Tab 2 7"
Same here, before flash you have to wipe system, cache, then reboot recovery once and flash ROM, Gapps and the keyboard
CandySix:
Thanks to @CCD
Bugs:
- Overclock to 1350 Mhz cause freeze and random reboot

Nah, it was booting one week after google published M source, lol. Thx to @Ziyan who got it first booting.
Why there's no build yet? Because some spammer are really going on our nervs - people don't stop silly pms asking for M, M, M, M, M....
Anything besides? Yes, we are working on a new kernel. We spend many hours each day on it but there's nothing that needs public testing yet.
Be patient and M will be out for tab 2 soon or later, if stupid PMs don't stop there's no future (at least i am not willing to do anything public in future).

Humm, I don´t think is too simple, but post the link please.

It's somewhere. Maybe someone who's good at finding dead bodies? I looked and cannot find it

Isn't so simple because you can't boot a 6.0 ROM on stock kernel nor cm12.1 kernel or however you can't pretend that everything works, due to the huge modification that you have to do to the kernel to make compatible with other version. It's an hard work of principally coding and not a copy/paste (too simple lol) and request a bit of base experience. Nobody say you that you can't learn, but don't start thinking it's a copy/paste work

Gather 10 skilled devs to work around 3.18.xx for a few months and you'll have a pretty decent stable core with quite a few benefits ...but kernel isn't like roms, needs fine tuning and when we're talking about upped versions there are some restrictions, you need to create workarounds for some stuff and some devs don't like to do that and since we've got no actual open source drivers workarounds are inevitable

Yeap true still it's the future and there won't be one if we stuck in 3.4.x (3.4.x already reached EOL - https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html - linux kernels EOL )
P.S. Sultan tried to make a kernel but saw it would require too much time and effort and stopped, if he has time and passion about the kernel this would have a much better future. It's obvious that a proper optimized kernel does have benefits(of course to match the maturity of 3.4.x is not an easy thing ...still this would make our phone last 5+ years ....if a proper stable 3.18.x kernel was around) - not sure if the electronics of my 1+1 would live by then but just saying

bring treble for our device(not sure if this can be done) - not just have android O(without treble)
This would ensure that the phone would live until all the electronics die from natural cause(age)

I think @erorcun was working on 3.10 and then 3.18 before his screen broke.
I don't know how common it is for devices to have merged or official kernel jumps, but I remember the S3 starting with 3.0 and ending at 3.4. CM builds got it first and then miraculously followed suit in the final OTA, which nobody who cared about their bootloader ever took.

Well oneplus won't give you anything ..that's a sure thing. Usually they don't up the kernel version. You get a phone with 3.10 it will die with 3.10.
The real problem comes with the drivers of the device. In order to get a real fully functional kernel without workarounds we need the help of qualcomm, would they provide drivers so we can have a real 3.18 kernel with proper support from android o? ...of course not, why do that when they can sell you a new phone with better SoC(they have a company to run and to do that they want to sell SoC ...so you should buy a new phone )
