Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 As you may know, HTC have just released the kernel source code, and i've been having a play. Nothing massively exciting yet, but if you want your kernel to feature... - Additional filesystems (EXT4, NFS, CramFS, SquashFS 4.0) - Freshly compiled tun.ko module - CompCache 0.5.4 support - DroidWall support ...then you can install this package over the top of the latest MCR. This is pretty much untested at the moment, so Nandroid backup first (of course), and i'm taking requests for future improvements. This is seperate from the main MCR thread for now simply because of it's untested nature! I'd like to add... - Port to 2.6.29 kernel ...but as I say this is just an early first-stab at a custom kernel. I thought i'd put it out there as I know many people like to run EXT4 on their A2SD partitions.

Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Changelog 1.2 Added DroidWall support 1.1 Internal (non public) Test Release 1.0 Initial Release
Guest jnwhiteh Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 My first impression: it's a bit slower starting up but once everything gets loaded it goes back to being smooth as silk. Looking forward to any of the other enhancements you intend to make. Do you plan to toss your modifications (and build system?) up somewhere public? I'd love to help, I'm just not terribly experienced at the moment .
Guest Erik Wallentinsen Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Can you post the .config you used for compiling? Would love to hack on this :)
Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I'll zip the directory up shortly and post it in the first post... P
Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 So, I haven't had a chance yet, can anyone confirm they got compcache up and running? P
Guest munkimatt Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 So, I haven't had a chance yet, can anyone confirm they got compcache up and running? P I'm going to be daring and try, would I need to follow this?
Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Possibly, i'm not that au fait with how compcache works... P
Guest munkimatt Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Possibly, i'm not that au fait with how compcache works... P Right, I'm off to Tesco, if no one has done it by the time I'm back I'll give it a go.
Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Looking at including BFS... Backport: http://jaysonking.com/bfs-2.6.27-backport/ P
Guest kosmiq Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Sweet, looking forward to what you can do with this baby! :) Keep up the good work Paul. It is very appreciated! Only thing I can think of as of now is that the Power Control Widget included in CyanogenMOD is pretty sweet. Perhaps something to add?
Guest Shizz Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Hey Paul, Is this compatible with 32B Sapphire devices? I was a really big fan of the Hero to Sapphire port Custom MoDaCo ROM which is unfortunately no longer being supported. I know that in the op of that thread (http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-sapphire-sapphire-modaco-com/292559/13-09-2-2-modaco-custom-rom-hero-to-sapphire-port-optional-4-1-11-1/) you said that you wanted to "package my ROMs for all three devices", I'm not sure if that means that your Hero builds are now compatible with all three, or if you are no longer working on the Dream and Sapphire at all. I'm really jonesing for some updated MoDaCo goodness on my myTouch!
Guest Paul Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I'm not currently working on Sapphire / Dream ports i'm afraid... P
Guest Shizz Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I'm not currently working on Sapphire / Dream ports i'm afraid... P Man that sux, to this day the best Sapphire stuff is based off of your work. Oh well, myself and many others miss you, but we're still grateful for you contribution. Thanks bro.
Guest kosmiq Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 That's a Donut feature... P Oh crap, didn't know that :) Oh well I'll just have to wait for 1.6 to come then...
Guest Rubber Ducky Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Is it possible to compile this kernel in Windows??? (Currently no linux installed) I want to play with kernel. :) Edited October 22, 2009 by Rubber Ducky
Guest kendon Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Is it possible to compile this kernel in Windows??? (Currently no linux installed) I want to play with kernel. :) idk if it is possible at all, but if it is then it is probably a bigger hassle than throwing an ubuntu on your hard disk... check out WUBI, it is on the ubuntu live cd, and installs ubuntu kinda as application into your windows partition. if you want to get rid of it you can just uninstall it from within windows and it's gone...

Guest stripealipe Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Heya Paul, I know you're just starting out on compiling the new kernels that have been released, so by all means keep this thread going as an ongoing DEV testbed and post whatever needs testing. I'll be glad to help out, flash and report back with any bugs or problems to help you along. Just let us know the best way of reporting back to you. Cheers and nice 1 for all your efforts!
Guest packetlss Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 - Required iptables functionality for DroidWall (i'll investigate) Getting Droidwall up and running is a piece of cake, just enable the owner match support for iptables. I got it running on my Hero at the moment working fine. Socket owner matching allows you to match locally-generated packets based on who created the socket: the user or group. It is also possible to check whether a socket actually exists.
Guest Paul Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Version 1.2 up, added DroidWall support. P
Guest clarkEEE1 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Can you upgrade to ext4 in adb like before were you just typed in upgrade_fs?

Yeah, I know WUBI. But it's slow in my opinion. Oh well, guess I will be installing Ubuntu soon. EDIT: Installed the MCK but it is not booting anymore. It's stuck in T-Mobile G2 bootscreen. I have a custom rom. Help please. Edited October 23, 2009 by Rubber Ducky
