Guest fear_factory84 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Hi everybody, we have (fortunately) many devs working on missing things on acer liquid kernel sources, fixes, driver fixes and so on. It's common to see that some of our devs occasionally loose their source tree, o simply they broke something and they can't rollback. So why don't create a common repository? (git, svn, what you want...) Another advantage to have a kernel tree available it's that if someone of us would like to build a kernel for a specific rom (acer roms and cyanogen, miui etc have different vmsplits) he can. I would like to help, but you can imagine how hard (and useless) could be to start from (broken and old) acer sources.. Regards

Regards hmm this has been answered many times before, there are. many. here is what most people use http://gitorious.org/liquide
Guest fear_factory84 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) hmm this has been answered many times before, there are. many. here is what most people use http://gitorious.org/liquide but the point it's that not everyone uses it.... For example, as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), roggin fix for wifi tethering (and I mean not only kernel sources, but also scripts used in boot.img) is missing from that repository... and so on .. and it's not updated from 12 semptember...... Edited January 13, 2011 by fear_factory84
Guest Harness Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Wifi tethering fix is strict kernel. Sensors was framework. This would be a good idea. I don't know what to say though. Don't see it happening.
Guest Borkata Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 roggin is updating his repository, which is forked by phh's. Currently his kernel source is most recently updated.
Guest xaueious Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Where is roggin's repo anyways? I've tried looking around and am still not sure where this is...
Guest xaueious Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Ahh gitorious. No wonder. Once Gingerbread is ready I get to play with this Edited January 15, 2011 by xaueious
Guest fear_factory84 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Great! we have roggin' kernel source.. now I need to learn how to build it ;))))
Guest tmp_do Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 initial release 2.6.32 for liquid
Guest gnufabio Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 initial release 2.6.32 for liquid Hi tmp_do, what works and what doesn't work with this kernel? ;)
Guest xaueious Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 He didn't base it off roggin's repo recently, because it doesn't have the memory patch that increases adds RAM support for the Liquid E. Wondering what this is as well.

Guest gnufabio Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Hi tmp_do, what works and what doesn't work with this kernel? ;)
Guest tmp_do Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Hi tmp_do, what works and what doesn't work with this kernel? ;) atm nothing. is draft, need hard debugging
Guest gnufabio Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) atm nothing. is draft, need hard debugging However nice project, good luck ;) Edited January 18, 2011 by gnufabio
Guest xaueious Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 i dunno then. i was just looking for https://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-kernel/co...f619a7a8#diff-3 and didn't see the change there, but i am not a kernel guy so i have no clue where to look in the first place
Guest pajn Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) atm nothing. is draft, need hard debugging Are you able to build it? if so does the boot process works so long that the device can be detected by adb? does adb logcat works? GREAT work! Edited January 18, 2011 by pajn
Guest noxwell Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Are you able to build it? if so does the boot process works so long that the device can be detected by adb? does adb logcat works? GREAT work! Nooo, it can't create apanic log, and you want it to be detected by adb ;) We solving problems, and many of the them were passed.
Guest gnufabio Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Nooo, it can't create apanic log, and you want it to be detected by adb :) We solving problems, and many of the them were passed. Hi noxwell, any news about Multitouch fix? Will be included in this kernel? ;)
Guest Dario93 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Exactly,what are the benefits of a .32 kernel?
Guest gnufabio Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Exactly,what are the benefits of a .32 kernel? Hi dario, the benefits of a .32 kernel are: -First of all the speed. Linux kernel improves its speed in each version. -2.6.29 is a quite old kernel...it has quite obsolete ways to manage device's resources -There are some patchs to improve kernel speed, for example Bfs and Cfs I also think that 2.6.32 is better because all new android devices have it instead of 2.6.29 ;)
