Enable uid_stat in kernal?

[Guest terminal_client]

Hey all, trying to get an app to work that collects information about what app uses how much data. The app says i need to have uid_stat enabled in the kernal. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Rooted streak, 1.9.1.

you need to build a new kernel with that enabled.

not certain if

  [ ]   UID based statistics tracking exported to /proc/uid_stat (NEW)  

is an option in steves kernel as its NEW..

set up your machine,

repo the aosp git

build the correct environment

clone steves kernel git

pull the config from your rom

make menuconfig

change the value,

drivers/misc/UID_stat

make

however as you can see from teh Makefile on steves git, its not in Steves source

https://github.com/D...s/misc/Makefile

so would need to be manually added so unlikely

all the instructions for that are available via the search engine of your choice.

If you don't think you can do it or can't be bothered I suggest you ask steve very nicely to include it in the next build, it will like have a detrimental effect on battery and performance though, as its yet another log output.
