Guest syst3m68 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D can't promise but my effort is there as i myself want a 3.0 kernel and why keep it to myself when i can give to the community? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PedroVader Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I knew we'd get here in the end, Skate forum is growing, people coming out of the woodwork with skills and assistance.....just brilliant, I think we'll take up your kind offer, just as soon as Tilal sees this thread ;-) Sent from my ZTE Skate using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Absolutely - if you and your friend can do it I would be eternally grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest syst3m68 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Absolutely - if you and your friend can do it I would be eternally grateful i'll have a word with him tomorrow, as we have quite some experience with the linux kernel, and i personally want to do more than flash a ROM through recovery, i want to help build those ROMs! not sure how much time compilation will take though, or when it will be started, more than likely tomorrow. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 USB host mode (USB OTG) would also be good, apparently it just needs enabled in the kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Will a 3.0 kernel only be of benefit for ICS or will it be usable in CM7 & Atomic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rangeoshun Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Something to play with :) The complete git (felt kinda' lost there) What I saw the first place. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pier11 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 What I saw the first place. nice that Code Aurora did't drop msm7627 in ICS transition, as they did with msm7x00 after Cupcake :) Need to stick Pulse to that trees too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dukelord Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 a kernel that will make vengeance 2 work on skate will be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest syst3m68 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Will a 3.0 kernel only be of benefit for ICS or will it be usable in CM7 & Atomic ? i'm doing this mainly for the hardware acceleration of tilals CM9 port, but thought i'd give it out, as i was going to keep to myself >:) just need to wait for tilal to PM me some sources then can get going properly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest syst3m68 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 USB host mode (USB OTG) would also be good, apparently it just needs enabled in the kernel i'll enable that and also snoop for other features. :) also my next job is the Camera. any ideas? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pier11 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey Pier! Will you contribute to this project too? I don't have the device. But kernels catch my interest last two month+ since I'm deep into porting for Pulse :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skywave Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not here to spoil your party guys but you really should know this. MSM7x27A != MSM7x27, the latter is in our devices. The first is a upgraded version of our chip and with upgraded i mean everything is different. There's an armv7 chip in it, the adreno200 got upgraded, its just very different. There is no single work done by CAF on msm7x27 regarding the kernel, they made 3-4 commits on the device tree however. Also there is no manifest file for the x27. But for getting that kernel to work is one heck of a job, even get a aurora kernel ported to zte hasn't been successfully done by anyone. ZTE made a real real real mess of it, its already very hard to understand the modifications they made to the kernel, they made a chaos of it. Threw around pieces of codes, changed ordering of structs.. But then again, that makes the fun of pulling it off only better. Its true that to be able to use the more newer drivers that interface with ICS, its very dependent on the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pier11 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) MSM7x27A != MSM7x27, the latter is in our devices. What is MSM7x27A? pdadb.net knows MSM7227T and MSM7627T. They are newer generation than MSM7627, bit still use armv6 Edited January 10, 2012 by pier11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. At least its better than huawei. Huaweis is so bad its unreadable and any patch breaks it. Plus they don't release their wlan source so if you try and change the kernel too much it breaks wifi As you say if you have a look at the x86 parts compared to the arm parts - even on stock android there's a massive difference.

Guest syst3m68 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) that means installing it, i have windows dual partitioned, but linux is easier in linux, doing it over 2 laptops too, so a nice server link. :) EDIT: You are incredibly right though, so much easier. i miss sudo apt-get install. :P Edited January 10, 2012 by syst3m68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
