can anybody tell me how to compile tun.ko for any rom? what would i need to download/install etc? any help would be appreciated. thanks!
get the kernel soruce and check config file for tun
in .config file search for "TUN" keyword, change Y to M, run make menuconfig, save, compile.
slow down guys absolute noob here. how/where do i run makeconfig? what software would i need? sorry if stupid questions :c

First, you need the kernel source code for your device. The Linux GPL requires that OEMs provide the kernel source so you should be able to find it.
You'll need a linux machine with a development environment. You'll also need the Android NDK for the ARM toolchain.
Once you've got all that lined out, you'll need a kernel config. You can usually get this from your device's proc directory as /proc/config.gz.
Now gunzip the config.gz in your kernel source directory, rename it to ".config" and run "make oldconfig". If it is from an identical source tree, then it should run without prompting.
Now run make menuconfig and drill down to the tun options and enable it as a module. Now you can "make" your kernel and "make modules" for the modules.
okay so first thing is to setup a build environment. gotcha. will work on that.

Hi Gene, i want to ask, if we cannot find the config.gz file from the device, is it imposibble to get the tun.ko working?
Or if it possible, can you tell me how to gain some configuration, that used by the tun.ko, so we can set the config from menuconfig correctly?
I`ve tried to compile tun.ko for a device, the insmod working fine, but when the vpn try to use the tun, it is crash, it raise segmentation fault.
Hello everyone, I just want to share my experience about building kernel with 2 way recording patch. I hope some newbie (like me) can custom his/her phone. I've tested and it works OK on my phone with call recorder software. I hope some other custom kernels on this forum will include this feature soon.

Cool kernel what features you added apart from 2 way record
People there is a kernel at the bottom don't think anyone noticed
Plus ad your own splash

You do have WiFi working with your kernel ? If yes, how did you do ?
I see no compiling modules instructions in your post..
PS: My kernel has 2WCR support.

maybe you want to add oc and init.d support also swap ?
can you compile the kernel on windows environment ?
Edit : off topic , did anybody notice that the design on the new xperia phones got reduced to an 'iphone' like clones.....instead of it's usual 'sexyness'

yes man i'm waiting for it to get fixed too
but one important thing did you "pre"-overclock and "pre"-over volt your kernel ?
all i wish for is a stock clocked kernel that just gives the ability to overclock
Edit : why don't you ask inteks how did he make wifi function properly?

Since We have such a fantastic tutorial on how to build your own CM9, I thought I'd add one for building a kernel.
Edit: updated kernel sources for jellybean
First off:
You NEED Linux. DO NOT TRY THIS ON WINDOWS, IT WON'T WORK.
Sources: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/semc-kernel-msm7x30
https://github.com/DarkforestGroup/sony-kernel-msm7x30-ics
https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-2011-Kernel-2.6.32.9

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477845
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
DooMLoRD, KeiranFTW & Atarii.
Prepping:
1) Grab the toolchain I have here (Android NDK R5b), it's the only one I've been able to use that doesn't throw errors when compiling (stock based kernels): http://db.tt/hE3TmJJi Doom has provided a better toolchain https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains[/QUOTE] you can get it using
Code:
git clone https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git -b master <optional_folder_name_you_choose>
(thanks Doom!!)
Building a kernel from fxp sources
1) Terminal for any commands, file explorer for finding stuff & gedit for changes.
2) open up terminal, mkdir <name_you_want> (no spaces)
3) cd <name_you_want>
4) git clone https://github.com/freexperia/semc-kernel-msm-7x30-ics -b ics <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be> (no spaces)
5) cd <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be>/semc-kernel-msm-7x30-ics (if you didn't rename it)
6) (If this is after the first time, and lets say a week has past do this step, otherwise ignore) git pull (automatically updates any files)
7) First important step: Find the defconfig that fxp uses. They are located in arch/arm/config. fxp_zeus_defconfig is the name of theirs
8) copy fxp_zeus_defconfig & rename to <what_you_want_it_named>_zeus_defconfig (for example, mine will be pax_zeus_defconfig)
9) open up your defconfig & put it into another workspace, we'll mess with it later
10) Hop onto DooMLoRD's github, his we'll use for references.
11) Adding governors: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-...mmit/bec19001ded34077d7776639834a1229b69e5f87
A1) Well, as I look into this, fxp has a ton of governors not used... (located in <name_of_kernel_folder>/drivers/cpufreq/
A2) Check the Kconfig file to see that they're all in there (they must just not be in the defconfig file)
A3) Edit the deconfig file you created in lines 467-474 removing "#" from any you want to add (and add in any you might've added by adding the line CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_<NAME_OF_GOVERNOR>=y
A4) If you want to add more governors, check out the Commits from DooMLoRD's build to add in when needed (anytime you see a "+" that means line added, "-" means line deleted)
12) Adding IO Schedulers: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-...mmit/0ae625f7561c559d4933284f489733bf5eb66e96
B1) Navigate to <name_of_kernel>/block folder
B2) Once again, FXP has a ton of IO Schedulers added, but not used in Play kernel:
B3) Open up Kconfig.ioshced to make sure they're in there (and add any you want)
B4) Edit the defconfig file you created (lines 121-137) & fix it to your liking (same as above)
B5) If you want to add more, see Doom's commits to add 'em
13) Turning off ALS
C1) Navigate to <name_of_kernel>/arch/arm/mach-msm
C2) Open up board-semc_zeus.c
C3) Search for .als_connected (it on line 1349)
C4) Change the variable from 1 to 0
14) Overclocking
D1) open up arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-7x30.c
D2) Lines 96 - 144 contain the PLL2 table, which is used to set clock speeds, note FXP can go all the way up to 2ghz, they just stop it short.
Continued in post 2 because all of this in one post 20% more awesome than XDA can handle
Pax
Cont'd from post 1
15) Building the Kernel
E1) Save your defconfig file, you'll need it now.
E2) naviage to <name_of_kernel> folder (in terminal)
E3) Type in "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler_i'll_use_min e_for_example>/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/doom_ndk/arm-eabi-4.4.3//bin/arm-eabi- make <what_you_put_here>_zeus_defconfig
E4) Type in "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler_from_above>/arm-eabi- make
E5) Sit back and relax (assuming it doesn't throw any errors, if it does, post here & I'll try to help you through them)
16) Getting the ramdisk
F1) Download a working copy of FXP's kernel (either through my zips or fxp zips)
F2) Goto here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477845, download the xperiaboottools.zip that's attached.
F3) Now what I did (you don't have to) is chmod 755 mkbootimg & split_bootimg.pl & (sudo) cp to /bin for easy calling.
F4) Navagiate in terminal to where you downloaded fxp kernel
F5) mkdir <working_folder>
F6) cp <fxp_kernel> <working_folder>
F7) cd <working folder>
F8) split_bootimg.pl <fxp_kernel>
F9) mkdir ramdisk
F10) cd ramdisk
F11) gzip -dc ../<fxp_kernel>.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
F12) Now you have the ramdisk, let's futz with it.
F13) First (easiest step) is to goto default.prop & change ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
F14) That's mainly what we want to do with it, if you want to change the boot image, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494076 for how to do it manually, or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146 for the automatic way.
F15) now that we're done with the ramdisk, we'll go back to terminal
F16) find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.img
F17) cd ../
17) Putting the ramdisk & kernel together
G1) By now (hopefully) the kernel is done compiling. (time for terminal, you should still be in folder you were above)
G2) cp ~/<folder_you_put_the_kernel_source_in>/arch/arm/boot/zImage ./
G3) mkbootimg --base 0x00200000 --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img -o <what_you_want_to_name_your_kernel>.img
18) Flashing it for testing.
H1) Keep your copy of FXP's kernel around, just in case any issues happen
H2) fastboot boot <your_kernel>.img
H3) If it boots & works, SUCCESS!! you modified your own custom kernel!
H4) If it doesn't boot (at all, just a vibrate & blank screen for 10-20 seconds) there's a problem with the ramdisk, sometimes it's bad, sometimes is needs filler, overall, it's just a pain in the butt to figure out.
H5) If it boots & bootloops the splash screen, well, that's an issue with the ramdisk again, that possibly, your ramdisk does not match you rom. Recovery, reflash rom & try again.
Courtesy of Atarii reminding me
19) Adding your wifi modules (they get built when you build the kernel) into the ramdisk
I1) Let's pretend that you haven't gotten through step F16, we're gonna add the wifi modules in.
I2) The wifi modules are located in <name_of_kernel_source_folder>/drivers/net/wireless/
I3) Copy bcm4329.ko to ~/ramdisk/working/modules/
I4) Add in the following lines to init.semc.rc
Code:
#load bcm4329 module
insmod /modules/bcm4329.ko
I5) Now your modules will autoload on boot!

Excellent guide
It may be because I'm both skeptical of us R800x users ever getting a real ICS, and the fact that going back to gingerbread sounds really tempting, but do you know / could you list the differences for compiling a gingerbread kernel for, say, CM7?
Kieran just told me to go to Sony's site. Thanks!

Now I've read over this but I'd like to know exactly what a new Linux kernal can do for us? Does it allow us to do more stuff with any custom rom we create?

Do this in place of #4 (in the guide)
4) git clone https://github.com/freexperia/semc-kernel-msm7x30 -b master <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be>
& You'll get their sources for GB instead of ics
Alternatively, if you wanna do it from SEMC kernel sources,
Download them from: http://developer.sonymobile.com/cws/devworld/technology/opensource un-tar/bzip them & work from kernel/

Here's a better explanation than I can do

/cut/
The kernel is kinda like the nervous system of the body. It directly interacts with the hardware (which is how it is able to adjust CPU speed) and it is what allows the ROM to function.
The ROM is the rest of the body. Every other aspect of the phone. In fact, most ROMs include custom kernels. Various ROMs give you various features/enhancements/bugfixes. You will probably notice the biggest change in your phone if you load a custom ROM. Most people load the custom kernels to help with battery life as a lot of them allow you to lower the phones minimum processing speed from 245Mhz to 128MHz.
The ROM can change so many different aspects of how the phone works. There is CyanogenMod which is based off of stock Android with a lot of tweaks, bugfixes, and new features added. There is also MIUI, which is similar to the iOS style (not the same, but much closer than stock Android), and then there are a ton others out there.

This is an awesome guide, definitely recommend to all, if you're interested in getting into kernel development.
The only thing maybe worth mentioning is where to copy the compiled wifi drivers and modules (governors etc) from, after the kernel has compiled
I'm having a problem at the "Building the Kernel" step. I ran the command, albeit slightly different than you wrote, and got this error:
"make: *** No rule to make target `mjolnir_zeus_defconfig'. Stop."
Do I not have my NDK installed properly, or what?
Edit: Nevermind, was hit by a confusion spell. It's cured, and all is well. At least, for now.
btw, in the future you will want to clone: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/semc-kernel-msm7x30.git
ics branch
But FXP haven't updated kernel in a while, so you could use my CM9 kernel sources if you like: https://github.com/DarkforestGroup/sony-kernel-msm7x30-ics
master branch
Difference is, mine is made from pure Sony PLAY beta sources, while FXP use arc beta sources

the NDK toolchain isnt good...
i have test them and they throw un-necessary errors...
best use gcc-4.4.3 toolchain from CM repo... it works with almost all device kernels i develop for...
u can also try gcc-4.6.2 toolchain (linaro)...
a working copy of both can be found at my git repo:

It's been a while since I gave an update here, but my ics kernel is doing fine. I just gave up on gingerbread. My new question: How would I go about changing recovery and such?

Building A Kernel For A6kâ
Hello Folks, Looks like A6000 Forums Are On Fire So Now I AM HErE TO POuR Oil In The FIRE
Lets Get Straight To The POint
This Guide Will Help you build a kernel for our little Precious One
Requirements:
Ubuntu[DOnt Ask How]
Required Libs like libncurses, and stuff [If you face any such error realted to libs, just google Once]
Good Internet
AT least 2GB RAM and a good processor
A bit of your time
Patience and brain
Steps:
1) Create A folder anywhere with any name you want and open it
2) Open terminal in that folder and Run This COmmand Which will install all required Libs
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2
3)After It gets done now we need a toolchain so now type " mkdir kernel" and "cd kernel" without quotes
4) Now we will dload toolchain so first install GIT and GCC libs for ex
"sudo apt get-install git"
Now Run This to clone the toolchain
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8
5)After toolchain gets downloaded now we need kernel sources, to simplify it clone the sources from my GIT using this command in terminal
Code:
git clone https://github.com/varunhardgamer/kernel_lenovo_a6000.git
6)After Dloading kernel sources open the kernel sources folder which may have name Semar Kernel or something like that and open BuildingKernel.txt and understand the way you need to edit Build.sh
Its not hard you just need to type the address to your kernel folder which you made
7)Now type
Code:
make ARCH=arm
and press enter
8)Then RUn
Code:
make wt86518_defconfig
9)THen Run
Code:
make menuconfig
and a popup will appear showing you all the tweaks that can be included in the kernel, select accordingly and save it
10)After you Finish tweaking it, open build.sh and edit it acordingly and then run the script by " .build.sh " in the terminal and wait till you get the zimage which is the kernel
8)Now download semar kernel r5zip and push your zimage inside it and flash your first Kernel
COmment here if you face any Errrors

The kernel will not compile. You need to define the toolchain.

I myself used this method and compiled a kernel
And for toolchain
I already mentioned
export cross_compile in .sh

Need to look in arm not arm64.
arch/arm/configs
Also see is you have def config on the device. Look in /proc for config.gz

arch/arm/configs?? It contains a lot of files. Which one is for Redmi 6A??
/proc? config.gz?? I do know that we can extract kernel config from android devices, but i tried it on my Samsung On7 prime and it didn't work. I haven't tried it on Redmi 6A, maybe I don't know the exact procedure to do it correctly please let me know how to do it!

To see which config in the source should be for your device. Look at the /system/build.prop.
Here is from my device.
ro.build.description=full_k62v1_64_bsp-user 8.1.0 O11019 1537518103 release-keys
So my defconfig is "k62v1_64_bsp"
Not always, but often the kernel config used to build kernel on device is saved on the device as well.
In my current phone. (Blu Vivo XL4 - mtk Helio p22). The config file was stored at "/proc/config gz"
From adb you can pull it. . Might need to be in rooted shell in order to get access, do not remember.
Try this adb cmd in your terminal to see
Code:
adb shell ls /proc | find "config"
That will show the contents of the /proc folder, and filter it to show only files with "config" in the name.

Several ways are possible.
1. Adb pull /system/build.prop
2. With root explorer type app. Browse to /system and open build.prop
3. File manager from TWRP
4. Open stock rom system image look for build.prop.

Here I looked on the GitHub shared kernel source, and the "cactus" defconfig is right there in the config folder.

thanks, I also extracted config.gz from /proc/config.gz from TWRP
there are major difference between the Github's config and extracted config
which one to use?? the one extracted via TWRP from proc/config.gz or Github's config???
Note: I uncompressed the config.gz using archive manager in Ubuntu.

Hopefully what you may find if you compare the two closely, is that the file from /proc/ will just have extra lines that are all "option not set".
The git hub source might build both configs, But not certain.
All I can suggest is to try both

No, I am not making a how to guide.
Mainly because I am no expert , by any meaning of it.
But try and look at this GitHub. It is kernel builder who is making kernel for your device.
