Hello,
I believe a lot of us would like to do it, so let's please describe here how-to:

Excellent initiative, I could write a short howto for Arch Linux later.
But one thing though, it might be a good idea to mention in the first post that you can't actually boot a custom kernel yet.

My topic about compiling kernel sources has already many infos so do you think another similar topic is really necessary ?

Your thread is excellent but I'd guess that this thread would be more oriented towards "hand-holding", really basic guides. Your topic was very broad requiring going to the android developers site and reading their docs on cross-compilation. Gathering that info into easier guides could be beneficial, if not to demystify the process.
As it stands right now just compiling modules seems almost insurmountable. But if the information needed could be condensed into simple guides it could show that while it takes considerable time and effort it's not an impossible task even for developers not familiar with cross-compiling kernels.
And information information on setting up cross-compilers for Win, Mac and popular Linux distros is nice to have available in an easy to find topic anyway.
IMHO, the easiest way to make modules would be a virtualbox image already set up with arm gcc, kernel sources and X10 kernel config. It's a long process to set everything up; virtualbox makes this easier and cross platform.

Yes, french for me is a bit difficult
Ok i managed to make Ubuntu on my Parallels, just finished with the gcc. Let's see how it works.
Maybe i will share it.
kernel config is included in the /etc folder if I remember well, hope it's the same for the mini X10
It's actually in /proc

Hi zdzihu,
I managed somehow install arm gcc on my Ubuntu. Now it's time for the tools.
So i would like to ask what config should i use arm v4? V5?
I am so tired with this linux things, but finally at least the demo busybox compiled well
So i tried to compile with arm-v5te config but for flash read (which is normaly working) it says
Code:
# ./dump_image system /sdcard/tt.bin
error reading system: Inappropriate ioctl for device
My task it not to run flash tools available, but my own, to compile all myself, to try to do the trick with the CPU to accept kernel, that i compiled.
Thanks.
The Snapdragon is armv7 compliant, so that should be your target.

I can't find v7 .. Should i consider the V as the CPU ver?

Are you using that tool to build the toolchain? In that case it might not have the option to build for that arch. The best way to make sure you get the correct one is to build it manually from scratch.

Looks like there is no other tut to build the toolchain. I searched days and nights to find something working.
I even compiled bysybox with it and it works on my x10!
But i found some sources of flash backup, called nandtools, compiled them well, no errors but the exec files are 4x bigger than the precompiled ones... And it makes the IOControl error..
the NDK won't compile, it requires Makefile or Android.mk and those are real headache to learn.
The Makefile from the archive is not compatible with NDK's make system and so on...
And so 2 weeks..
Pufff.. I am so tired if just linux things
Any hand?
Hi there, ARM is backward compatibile so compiled for v5 should run just fine. Problem must be somewhere else... I'm at work at the moment so I can't help much
By the way, there was some kind of dedicated flash tool posted already HERE, maybe you could check with jerpelea for re-upload?

You see, i need to compile mine, i have enough tools here already working, but my task is to compile my own and that's why i need a toolchain.
NDK is ok for the kernel, i compiled it already. But the native applications are not supported fully. Like write is deprecated and you can't use this function, and lot other limitations. So independent toolchain would help.
That's the point.

I just finished building a cifs.ko module for my motorola defy from source.
As the module has some dependencies to slow-work.ko you will need to load this prior to cifs.ko.
I finished testing it on my Motorola Defy Stock Froyo ROM (Linux version 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4) and it worked fine. I was able to listen to music from my pc via a network share.
have fun.
tuxx
p.s. i will merge slow-work and cifs into a single module in order to be compatible with single module loading programs such as cifsmanager.
Hi,
cant wait for the merge
How about adding the nls_utf8.ko ?
nls_utf8.ko
i havent had time yet to merge cifs and slow-worker however i took a minute to build nls_utf8.ko...
i haven't tested it so please let me know if it works.. and if not i'll try to fix it (dont forget to post dmesg log)
tuxx
Thanks but... cifs.ko was already working on defy. In THIS thread its asked, and HERE said how make it work.
I did a cwm3+ flasheable zip for my own use, which I am attaching here, which I had working in CM7 until they were included.
To avoid problems with utf8 characters, in cifsManager settings, load via insmod and use path:
"/system/lib/modules/slow-work.ko:/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko:/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko"
Do you really need to work to merge the files? Isn't it enough?

thanks for the tip.
however I dont know how the cifs.ko of the other thread was compiled.. the thread you pasted says that a hex editor was used to change the kernel version string in the binary!?! That doesn't sound like a very nice solution. Also.. i had to port a few functions such as round_jiffie() which i saw in other build instructions was simply commented out due to laziness.. I prefer a clean build in which round_jiffie() is implemented (as i presume this is for latencies and will probably play a role for battery life etc.).
However I was unaware that you can ':' separate modules with cifsmanager. Thanks for that tip.
tuxx
p.s. if anyone is interested, i just built GNU screen for android.
Well... no, the cifs I uploaded in the zip, are from the thread that the solution said (this solution), which are from the milestone 2. HERE are the cifs for milestone 2 thread, they works with defy.

Hi,
i thought this module was for the .29 kernel and is broken for stock 2.2.2 ?
Thats why i never bothered to try...

nope I am asking to connect through it and boost the network using 10 dpi antenna
Not saying anything about the op but using aircrack isn't illegal unless you're breaking into a network you're not authorized to use. Lots of people are interested in just learning how such software works, and we should encourage legal experimentation on such a forum. There's nothing wrong in cracking your own network for learning purposes.

You need to build the modules for the kernel you're using. I'd offer but I had to sadly remove my Arch Linux install (VSync y u no work?) and I don't have a GNU/Linux VM set up at the moment. If you're using a custom kernel, you could ask nicely in the thread dedicated to discussing the kernel.

WPA is very easy to crack on the majority of home routers. The reason is WPS which has several flaws, allowing guessing the key within 3 hours.
Here's a description on how to compile the driver:

However if you compile it on your computer, you'll have to cross-compile for ARM9.

Hi,
Just wondering if/when MadCatz will release the kernel?
I know linux being GPL, it has to be shared, but not sure about Nvidia's sources?
I'm new to android but not java(my day job) and linux.
I've compiled and installed my own kernels on desktop and on my mobile phone (Nokia N900).
I want to try and add a few things.. ie filesystem/DVB/webcam support etc.
Following this how to.
Apologies for the delay in getting this released. Here's the kernel source:

Yes i hope someone can make a kernel to re-apply resolution settings on the m.o.j.o, as mad catz said to me via a phone call some tv's can't adjust to 1080p natively because the os is preventing it,and stupidly they removed the resolution changing slider in settings don't ask me why they did that?
If there is a way to set resolution without endangering the console booting up afterwards would be awesome,i am thinking it is there but hidden away and accessable some way but don't know how,developer options can be opened but not resolution settings as far as i have found any way.

I think it automatically sets the resolution based on the TV/monitor, try a different one?
TMK, the slider has nothing to do with the kernel.

I would do that but i only have a panasonic 50" plasma it's a 600hz 1080p it p50x50b model,there are 2 variants of it a hd ready and a 1080p model,i know it's the 1080p model as i used blu ray and xbox 360 and a wiiu etc in 1080p modes so it's definately not 720p only on my model.
I still think it is possible to reinstate that hdmi resolution slider though? I would love for someone to find a fix for that to bring back the slider though.
It also has nothing to do with the overscan as that's off,and the guy said it's an argument between the console's os and the tv,but maybe if i had an option to change resolution within the console when in operation it would ammend this,resolution changer pro works then looses usability eventually and it's awkward and time consuming to get that to work,only for it to stop after a time?
There is no forced hdmi resolution setting in the tv menu unless of course there is in engineer mode but all that seems to do when entered is show test and it's results coming up as ok,after testing it factory resets the tv as well so sick of trying that now.
Someone needs to get a custom rom made up with kitkat and 1080p natively set.

It doesn't time out but it says some .c and .h cannot open: Not a directory when I use tar to extract it. Then I thought that I should install something else to extract and tried ARC. It extracted and then the same message box as appeared in windows 7 OS "file already exists cancel or overwrite"
I then said overwrite and then I get the extracted package. I just want to ask you that when you extracted it did you got any errors? What procedure you used to extract it? I downloaded twice with same results...

OK as per your suggestion I used wget c and the address. That gave me again the same file and upon extracting it I am getting same errors.
May be that the file isn't corrupted as you can extract it and its possible that I am doing something wrong in extraction..
I tried to create the kernel from sources and got a make error, to remove that I must delete a line in the make file (Line no 603) and after that I can successfully compile the zimage. But the issue is that after completing the procedure for boot.img file the original and compiled one has a difference of 0.1 MB and device don't boot with the newly compiled boot.img
Please if you can provide me with the steps on how you exctracted it and which OS you are using?then it will be really helpful. Also can you please upload the makefile of kernel and config.gz file you are using to make the kernel...
One useful information that can prove that there is an issue in extraction:
Extracted content on windows OS with Administrator priviledges: 42889 items , 487.8 MB
Extracted content on Ubuntu with Tar and other utilities: 42692 items, 482.5 MB

If you read the other threads here, I and someone else explain how we got the kernel compiled and yes it works fine.

I have gone through with the links you provided already and I understand every bit of conversation. Yes I am new to kernel compiling but its reasonably understandable.
I respect your valuable answer no matter when you reply since you have a minute for me and don't worry about TimeZone differences as I am not in a great hurry, I just don't wish to waste time on errors for which I ain't responsible
OK I tried compiling modules for which I had to compile the kernel to get the module.symvar file and "THE MODULES WORK!" that too with the Default kernel Makefile and ofcourse my own module Makefile.
"You dont use their makefile you recreate it" this line you wrote.. What do you mean by that??
I mean were you talking about the kernel Makefile or our own module Makefile, Please clear me here? As far as I know the Kernel Makefile should be the same when only compiling the stock kernel as that is my purpose "JUST TO COMPILE THE STOCK KERNEL"...
My compiled kernel boots but just shows a black screen! I don't want to spoil your holidays sincerely but if some help I can get from you then I will be able to relieve me from this burden
Hmm got it compiled finally even after that make issue with -k flag to make
Also all I needed was ramdisk from latest OTA and not the one from the kernel. That was the issue with kernel booting but it freezing at blank screen...

Re the makefile, I think you have to run config first to check your systems compilers/linkers/etc which then creates the makefile.

is there any reason this is done via some random ftp server and not some place like github/bitbucket with better management? or heck even sourceforge would be an improvement.
is that account for developer outreach? are there any datasheets on the components used in the device? sony does a beta program for updates on their flagship devices have you considered doing something similar where people can grab images and help test updates? ever think about tossing the device trees up for aosp to help encourage a porting of 3rd party roms and spread the community?
the nook color and touchpad being hack and having Cyanogenmod and the like being ported to it drove sales up, i would imagine having a hackable android console that isnt some no name chinese brand would probably do decent. unfortunately now with android tv you guys have some serious competition on the horizon, its a matter of how you go from here and try to make the most of it so everyone already has your product and doesnt need another.
edit: i also see there is several updates yet only one kernel source... any chance of updated source?
@Mad Catz Rich
The new update (205-TS) has a new kernel build of May 2nd.
Any chance that can be put on the server?

Ok,I found a solution.
You need to remove SecurityLogAgent
Bluecat, thanks for this! I wonder if you know what differences exist between the P605 and the P607T. Also, did you use the EUR_LL source from Samsung's opensource portal? Its strange that they already have the source out for the P605, but nothing yet for the P607T which received the update first. Makes me think maybe the code base is the same and its only the bloatware bundled by the carrier that differs?
I am also curious to just learn and get my hands dirty with this. Can you share the Makefile for this kernel, or just point towards the guide you used (assuming you used one) to compile this?

Sorry,but i dont know differences between the P605 and P607T.
Yes,sources SM-P605_EUR_LL_Opensource.zip and version OI5.
If you want check have code 607 and 605 differences or not you should check checksum both original zImage(linux kernel). Extract them from both boot.img and compare.
Version 2 use standart selinux permissive way used by mostly kernel developers,it's have many changes in code now and it's will be very long to explain how to change to permissive,just use my sources available now in first post and compare them with original sources.
If you talk about how to compile kernel...was use many guides and other forums...hard part was only create .config file

Will try to extract the zImage from the P607T boot.img. I do not have the P605 though, do you know if the stock boot.img is downloadable anywhere?
Thanks for uploading the source. I just finished downloading the original source from the opensource site, will compare the two and try to understand.
I do know how to complile a linux kernel, I meant can you share the .config file (not the makefile, as I wrongly stated earlier), so I can see what has changed across the entire kernel. Rather than just change one line directly in the config file to disable SELinux, I wanted to use make menuconfig and go through the whole process, just to learn more about android kernels. But since I do not know much about the hardware and driver requirements, wanted to see a stock .config as well as your changed .config to understand.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing ... As and when I learn anything relevant to the issue of P605 vs. P607T, will update here.
Why does the wifi password get forgotten on every boot?
Any fix for that matter?

Based on the first 5.1.1 sources, version OI5
Before installing the kernel required go to build.prop,find ro.securestorage.support and set the value to false. System may forget your WiFi passwords after flash custom kernel.
SecurityLogAgent has to be removed or frozen.
Flash kernel in odin.

Maybe you missed the update to the original post, the fix is as above, set securestorage to false. Since you have already flashed, you can still go to build.prop, make this change, reboot, and you should be fine.

I tried this. With ro.securestorage.support false. Still no WiFi passwords saved after reboot.
Other than that, this works great!
Xposed (for Samsung by wanam) works great!
valexi, the only thing Ive seen suggested in your case is to reflash the firmware. I do not know of any other solutions for this, because pretty much everybody with this problem seems to have solved it when they changed the securestorage thing.
BlueCat, I went ahead and compared checksums for the stock p607t and p605 kernels, they do NOT match. I also extracted the kernels themselves and the zimage files are of different sizes. I then compared the default config files of the P605_LL_EUR source with the only available source for the P607T, which is KK ... They are considerably different. I am of course going with the assumption that the core config for the kernel between KK and LL should not be TOO different, but of course, this is NOT a reliable test. Lastly, I should also say, the P607T source contained an insane number of config files in the Arch/Arm/configs folder, while the P605 source only had three files! I only compared the three that were common ... It seemed like the 607T has the config files for every possible version of the device, while the 605 one had very specific configs for that device only ... This I am speculating based on the fact that the 607T folder even had a msm8894_sec_l03ltmo_defconfig file in addition to the msm8894_sec_l03leur_defconfig file in the 605.
Will do more comparisons over the next few days, but it does seem like there are more changes under the hood between the 605 and the 607T than one would expect. I really wish samsung would release the source for the 607t, but if you check that page, there is just one single KK code there and nothing else, so it does not seem likely anytime soon

Re,
Ok remove SecurityLogAgent and folder Container it is ok...
But delete all other knox and Klm gives a problem with the playstor. (Certain protections cannot be erased)
Hey guys,
Great news around, especially with roms like Alan-B's. Thanks for sharing :good:.
Running 4.4, planning to update 5.x as soon as I'm sure I can run Linux Deploy (meaning the need of permissive kernel), though I can't find any intel about VTS (Virtual Terminal Support) enabled kernel. I've been looking for months a way to run framebuffered distros and looks like this is the solution.
I could try to make it myself but I have no experience in kernels, would someone mind give me a hand to get to this goal? At least give me a hint to "quickly" develop and try one, to see if it works and how well...
Don't even know if I'm looking the right way anymore, so thanks by advance for any help and again for the sharing :highfive:.

But when I reflash the firmware how can I set securestorage BEFORE installing permissive kernel as I don't have root to change build.prop?

You can't. Reflash, root, edit build.prop, reboot, set wifi password once again, reboot, it SHOULD be fine. If its not after this sequence, Im not sure what else may work. Every case of this particular problem that I've seen was resolved with this solution.
Luckily I didn't reflash yet. I checked again build.prop and securestorage was true. For some reason it didn't stick first time.
I edited it again and now WiFi works as intended. So I can say that this solution works. Great kernel.
