I found this in the X10 forum http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/938/364/1299757634/3.0.A.2.181_182.tar.bz2 ... They are the uncomplied Xperia Play open source files. I noticed there was a kernel folder, and my question is quite simply.
Is there any way to port this kernel?
I figured that this should be possible since i assume that these files are compatible with and also signed for the S1 bootloader. Although this is only me guessing
nope wont work, you need to compile kernel and then sign it. unless xperia play would use exact! same kernel config and drivers you would be able to use the play kernel. but unfortunately its not so we can not sign it

I have a Garminfone and have done a lot of Rom hacking with it so far, enough that I want to port cyanogen to it now. In the config.gz file there are references to Garmin specific items... how do I go about figuring what is included in the kernel and if the stock one might work with the right config settings. I know that they load a few ko modules at boot, but I don't know the requirements for when they must release kernel sources and what to do with it if they do.
I know they have released some in the past for the a10 but not the a50, and none for the 2.1 build.
I do know that they use the 2.6.29 kernel so is there a chance that I could use the current kernel with froyo?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have Just one thing I can't figure out when porting a rom. Its the config for the kernel when I unpack it I know I am suppose to get the zimage and replace with the kernel I am porting to and rename the .rc files and replace lib files.But when i recompiile it and flash it to my device.It gets stuck on the android logo after rle image boot.Can someone please help me out since I seem to be the only one porting or making a roms for the samsung Repp sch-r680 at the moment. Also I can't seem to figure out how to overclock a kernel ether or find anything on google and believe me I search over like 50 google next results and nothing.I ant a totally Noob ether I have already made a custom rom for the repp with init.d support and found another way to root it using my clockwork mod that I ported over to it.I also added busy box and su to the cwm for adb support.

I have a repp that I'm interested in working on. I've never ported a rom, but I understand Linux and some Android, and I don't mind staring at a terminal all day. I'd like to get something aosp working on it.
Let me know if you're still working on this phone.
Hi @ all...
At First let me Appologize for my bad English i come from Germany...
I have managed to compile cyanogen mod v7 without any problems and also the Generic Kernel for use with the avd (just to test if my Modifications on the Source work.....) But if i Start the avd with the custom compiled roms i only get a black screen...The strange thing is that i just removed the youtube app at the moment .....
and my second question would be about the android kernel that the MK16i uses , ist it necesarry to download a special version of the kernels
source or can i just compile a linux kernel from original repo, if yes wich version of the kernel would be needed to support MK16i's hardware???
thx in advanced....^^
Hi all.
Ive been looking into running a dvb-t stick on my adroid devices.
There is no easy way and no definite answers.
I need to compile and make ko files for my specific device.
I havent compiled since college but will be fine.
But first i have a few questions.
What do i need?
I have ubuntu
My device is running kernal x.y.z
I need a copy of the kernal on the pc dont i?
Hello everybody. I love this community and I have been lurking for a long time.
I have noticed on a foreign language forum that some people were offering a custom rom for my android 9 TV box.
The chinese box is based on a s905x3 CPU and has a mediatek wifi chip for which it is hard (if not impossible to find the wifi drivers).
The site claims that the image was made by modifying the stock rom that came with the box. Is this possible or do all custom roms need to be build from the source?
The custom rom I want to make is going to replace the launcher with kodi.
I am prepared to build the whole rom from source but I do have a couple of questions.
Since the mediatek wifi drivers cannot be found how would I go about including the binary for the wifi?
I have noticed that the box that I have uses a .ko (kernel object) module to drive the wifi chip.
Can I include these kernel objects in build? It is a shame that the kernel is built as a 32bit system. Would that mean that I can only compile a 32bit kernel if I were to reuse those kernel modules and binaries?
Another idea is to perhaps use the kernel from coreelec in my build since it seems to include a lot of drivers.
Is it possible to use a kernel from something like coreelec but use the source from AOSP for the rest of my build?
Is there anything else that I should be aware of?
Thank you all!!!!
Can anyone give me any hints to any of the questions?
Essentially I want to swap out the stock launcher for Kodi. What is the easiest way to do so?
