Why don't you send faux123 a pm? He might help you out. Check in the dev forum for his kernel thread, it's always around the top. Don't ask in that thread though!!
Thanks for your reply, that's what I did!
Follow up?

I don't want to take up too much of your time since you'll be busy with your project (hopefully), but would you mind posting any useful links or resources if they were helpful for you in getting started?
I've been on a mission to learn more about Android, and our phones, and eventually I'd like to get around to something like this. If you successfully get it done, it'll be nice to have a starting point archived somewhere here in the forums for the rest of us n00bs.
Here is a guide on making changes to a pre-existing boot.img to get you started:
HOWTO: Unpack, Edit, and Re-Pack Boot Images
Thanks for the link! And sure, if I can have some help and if my project is accepted, I'll write a tutorial on how to create kernel for noobs, and even more if I decide to go further

Should have posted this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko then people would know what it is straight off the bat.
Anyway this sounds really interesting.

Do you mind helping me if I try to build it?
Last time I tried to build AOSP I got errors on the building part
But I really want to learn, I'll try
Edit: I'm too scared to brick my device
If your device isn't listed, you should stop right now and either help port B2G to your device or wait until someone else does it. We'd prefer it if you help out!

I`m totaly :silly: on build so only want to ask if some devs on future (or soon ) will try to porting this to our sony , it is look very good and something new to all so maybe hope some devs read this topic :fingers-crossed:

[SOLVED] Any FTDI enabled Kernel's for the prime?

Hey Guys,
I've been working on a project that requires me to connect an arduino to my prime. I've been searching around and have had no luck finding a kernel thats been compiled with the FTDI drivers. I'm not quite savvy enough to do it on my own, so I'm reaching out to you guys to find out if you know of any kernel's for our prime with this driver enabled? Or maybe some enterprising dev on here would like to help me make one.
Thanks for reading.

Are one or both of these what you need to be enabled on a 201 kernel ?

Possibly I'm trying to find the doc I found a few days ago. http://www.ftdichip.com/Android.htm has some info.
I did find a pdf that described how to add to an android kernel. Most of the info I've found revolves around just creating an application. I'm looking to have access to the device in a chroot environment, which means I really need kernel support.

So you are running a bootloader with the version ending with 27.1 ...
So you need a kernel that can boot on that setup with the FTDI drivers enabled ...
Ok, You did say there was a guide for making this work ?
Can you post this guide or a link to the guide ?
Thx Jsoh

Ok which way would you like to go with this ?
Do you have a way to compile an Android kernel ?
I would like to help but I dont think that doing it for you would be the right thing to do.
Let me know. Thx Josh

I have a dev environment on my laptop(eclipse, adb, github, etc), but I'm not sure its going to be very good for compiling a kernel. late 2011 Macbook air. Last time I tried to compile cm10 I think it tied up a machine for several days (It was for my old nexus S). I really can't afford to do that with this laptop.
I am a dev of sorts, just not an android one. I'm not afraid of command line. Just need some help getting pushed in the right direction. Thnks for the help Josh.

Can you get the kernel source and device tree for the ROM that you are currently running ?

Well this is definitely where I get stuck. Maybe I need to switch to a different rom. He mentions the kernel source in his thread here
He says:
It is the same as the TF700 source but with some changes in ramdisk for TF201.
https://github.com/Hundsbuah/tf700t_10_6_1_14_4​
But I have no idea what the changes are and whether they are included within this kernel source that he has linked too.
Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Yep, Installed as tf300 and everything is working. I've been keeping an eye on your dev thread for when the updated version came out. First install didn't have wifi, then I saw you were uploading a new one.

Wow your amazing! But yeah wifi is kinda needed for my project. So let me know what I can do.
FTDI Kernel Installed
Just a quick update to this thread if anyone has been watching. The Crombi-KK Team put together a kernel for me with the FTDI drivers installed. I've since managed to get communication going over serial with and arduino.
I would highly recommend reaching out to Josh and the Crombi-kk team if you have a similar request. As they already have a kernel compiled and ready to go.

[Request] Anyone able to help port this to my phone?

Anyone able to help me port ubuntu touch to my device?
if you know how to port from it is relitively easy and theres a guide here: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/
on the way you might be good also building cyanogenmod to the device too.
thanks -jake

Well I asked elephone to make it published, just waiting now
Elephone need to publish this as it will make more custom rooms and kernels so much easier to implement features over and port rooms from other devices over to it!
Wow 110 views so far!

I could if you actually gave details of what you tried, what errors occurred etc.
Saying just "I give up" is useless in terms of getting help. You need to give details.

Who made it? We really need more information mate, like your device name. And if this rom has a thread, post the issue there instead. Also, if you want help on such things, always provide as much information as possible, especially if you want people to help you from their free time (logs would be quite useful as well)
