Start searching. If you can't find the info yourself, then you probably aren't going to do much good as a kernel "dev". Also read up on GPL, they are getting stricter about it around here and as such there are rules as to what you can post ROM/kernel wise. I would avoid any kitchens, and do it all from scratch. I'll give you two links though.

That and a Ubuntu machine are all you need to get going. Just as a warning, takinga image of somebody's dev machine, and then pulling Leedroid's or Doomlord's source code and compiling is not building your own kernel. Start from scratch, google, search, learn and it's going to take a bit. I'd start with adding some extra CPU governor's if I were you, it's the easiest.
Oh and I'd wait more then two hours next time before bumping my own post, also google is a amazing thing. Did you try it.

Some very nice and helpfull thoughts there.
First steps r always hard. With proper help they can get much easyer. U prolly wouldnt be walking if u wouldnt recive a help from your parents.
Ioiwillioi asked for help. He said he is new in kernel developing. He said he is having some problems with seting up. I am sure he is mature enought he knows for web search.
Not all ppl like to build their knewladge base up from scratch with no help... After all we all benefit on other ppl knewladge and take shortcuts... If u dont feel same then burn all books, cut off internet and do all from scratch.
Google search has some disadvantages as well not onlly Google knows it all syndrome...
Now if u can help him with going faster in proces please do.
Help or stfu?
Fake edit: IoiWilliI that bump... u siriuslly could do it faster lol
ninja edit:
IoiWillloI is Sensles HC rom developer. I seen first post at his early atempts:
"With all due respect, but adding an APK, swapping some files etc., is not an useful contribution for the community. If you really want to add something, work on ICS instead We need more developers on that case, and it would be more useful than 10 HoneyComb ROMs"
Today some belive his rom is best HC rom for Flyer. Gl IoiWillioI with growing in kernel developing skilz.

You seriously think my post is unhelpful? If so I'm more then happy to delete it buddy.

I appreciate the help wadegeek however you could be a little bit more supportive, so far i have stuck to ROM stuff and even if i do say so myself i have done quite a good job, and i though rather than google it i thought i would ask in the forum that was designed for the device, (in case of any device specific requirements etc) i mean thats just logical thinking :O
I dont think jprednik meant any offense
Also thank you for all of the positive comments and feedback jprednik,

I am being supportive, I'm just saying if you take some to look it up on your own you'll get to the exact sameplace. Also I believe spamming is against the forum rules, which was why I mentioned the post bumping. It wasn't really needed.

No you're not. You're being the opposite of supportive.

Its not a step by step, but this thread on the Nook Color 3.0 for ICS Kernel development has some insights into what it takes.

Right another question ,
Once i have the Zimage what do i have to do with it, i know about building it into a boot.img but when i flash my kernel the cpu values etc don't appear to change :/ is it something i need to specify in the .config prior to building or is it something i do in the process of zimage to boot.img ?

That would all be in the config file. Are you using LeeDroid's CPU frequency tables? And if you started your source from scratch, did you add anything to Kconfig? I would really need to take a look at your source, do you have a Github? Or can you post exactly what you changed?

I didn't change the kconfig :/ I can commit it to github later is that any good??
So the kernel compiles fine but there are no options to got about 1495 when trying to OC

Yep get it into a github and I'll take a look to see if I can help. You will need to make some changes to the different configs though. And out of curiosity, which kernel did you pull your .config from? Or did you use a default from arch/arm/configs?

Why do people keep asking what the status is on the Touch Pro 2? Check the threads!

I am putting this up in favor of the devs. I am not a dev myself, but I certainly respect what they are doing! What I can't stand are the people who keep asking dumb questions, like: when will this be fully working? Or: What is the status of android on touch pro 2? Look at the threads! If you took the time to look, you would know that there is still work to be done. Again, thank you devs!

Pretty sure a guide like that should be stickied with the rest of those threads at the top... that would be veryy helpful. I would be very confused too coming into the android threads for the first time.

Maybe at the "download your files here" section, say that the users don't necesarily need to know how those files work and what exactly they do, just that they are needed parts for android to work. Just trying to think if I was a beginner and what might confuse or overwhelm me. Just a suggestion but it probably wouldn't make a difference. Other than that I just wonder who needs to be told in order to get this thing stickied. This is kind of the equivelant of the thread in the WinMo section on flashing ROMs for noobs.

How do I obtain proprietary files from my device?

Hi there,
Im trying to compile an AOSP build. My device (toshiba Thrive) has Honeycomb and there is no source for it, hence there is no public GIT with a device tree or source of any kind rather than the kernel source.
Question is, how can I add my device to the lunch menu if I don't have any files to put in there? Also, if I compile for a different device, i.e. Xoom since it had Tegra2 support built in, what are the chances of porting that just by swapping bins, libs, etc files, and so on?
I'm guessing that the kernel is compiled during the process based on those proprietary files..... correct?

So start looking at performance tweaks and such, and if you are adding some stuff to pre-compiled APKs then look into smali and the tools you need to use to manipulate it.

Oh boy...I just love it when people start saying
"I'm building a ROM", "I'm doing dev work", "I want to be a recognized developer"
Then I make suggestions and I get "That's too hard", "Do you have a download link" "Cn u teac me hw mak a custm kernel?"
Yet they are totally unwilling to actually invest some time into these things and LEARN it.
Guy's Rome wasn't built in a day, and your ROM isn't going to be either. Look around, read, SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH. Download other people's stuff not just to Kang it, rename/re-post it under your name, but to LEARN, to figure out how it works, so you can UNDERSTAND. This isn't like a store, where you walk in and go "I want one of those, and I'll take one of them, and please get me that, where can I find this, etc, etc." Make little modifications, tweaks on top of tweaks, and keep doing that until it's soemthing new, soemthing different, and THEN post it. But please don't limit yourself, to what is "Easy" or "Comfortable", it's not the way to get anywhere with real development work, much less in life. Put some time into it, and some effort. I really do wish you all luck, but you guys have to stop looking for the easy way to get some quick credit.
[/RANT]
@OP I know of zero performance modifications that you can do in XML, and if you are looking to use someone else's work and use that then start searching and make sure you ask before you use it.

Who are you referring it to? I cooked a rom and I think that I have made the rom. Of you don't have anything to help me then please don't comment. I don't understand smali but I know how to read tutorials and add more features in the rom by smali editing like swipe to remove, 14 toggle etc.

He was being helpful, he is bringing up a attitude that is rampant here on XDA, namely the "cooking" of ROMs. There are WAY too many people who just cook a ROM in a kitchen and claim to have "developed" it. No, you just re-packaged somebody's work, it's not the same thing. I'm not saying it's useless, but it causes way to many "developer" wanna-be's that just aren't interested in actually learning something. Up above we posted suggestions and you responded with

That creates the impression that you aren't wanting to try any other methods for creating ROMs. If you were trying to say that you don't know smali, then maybe you should have said something like,
I don't know smali so I'm not sure how well I could implement features like that. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Not only is that easier to read, but it also communicates much more clearly what you are trying to say/ask. But the way that post is currently worded it makes it sound like you are just wanting to re-package somebody's work and use it as your own.

This is very true, I'm new to porting and I'm starting with porting so I can learn the ins and outs of a rom so at a later time I can learn to develop, even in porting I've had to back smali and make some edits to get things working so sooner or later you will have to as well.. I'm currently reading a begginers guide on java for android.. Google is my best friend and I'm trying to learn as much as I can because I have an idea of my 'ideal' rom.. I can't wait for someone else to do it so I can port it and I know it will never be the way I want.. I'm doing it mainly for myself and I hope one day I can share with others

Best thing to do is get on the good side of a dev and ask them to teach you, I had great help from some of the best devs on XDA, but as above its not something you can just learn easily, I already had a pretty good knowledge of Java and XMLs etc before i got a smart phone lol, If you stick to it then you should get somewhere, Java is a pain in the ass though, editing .smalis is probably the hardest thing for a new dev

I started off with this guide for getting started with apps. I would suggest reading through the links in Cyanogen's thread and continuing from there.

Thanks, went thru that thread. Cyanogen's post was really informative. Me and a friend taught ourselves java when we were 15. But that's been 15 years, millions of brain cells, and seems like 2 lives ago.
Have to relearn it again. Remember back then we read java for dummies, lol. Anyone remember those? Taught us html pretty well, but I used that more than java.
Will check my local library for what they have and youtube tonight for tutorials.

Thanks for all the kind words and info. I really doubt I will have a rom out anytime soon. Have a few ideas for apps I would like to work on, so if that is the best way to learn then ill probably try that route.
It is all created by man, so the logic comes easy to me at times. Well, if it makes sense anyways. Sometimes I smh in frustration, "why did they decide to do it like this when the opposite makes so much sense?".

if crpalmer's kernel is based of elkay's which is based on dsb9938's and it pulls some source from a few others how do we keep them all straight? is crpalmer's based on the newest revisions of both other kernels? we need a comparison chart containing all the features of each kernel highlighting the differences and similarities of each.
by the wording in crpalmer's thread, assuming it's based on all the recent submits, then it would be the most recent update especially considering it uses linux 3.4.31 when the others use lower versions. (unless there is an even newer one i havn't read yet)

So make a chart then.

you clearly deserve a ribbon for most helpful.
If I knew what the differences were, or even how to find all of them, i would. but i sure as hell wouldn't share it with you.

There's github links for each kernel in the their respective threads. I don't need a chart.
Now that's funny.
Then why are being a trolling ass? This topic obviously has nothing to do with you. This is the HELP section. If you want to be a jerk go do it in the dev section.
Now you get a gold star and your little buddy too.

Nobody is being a jerk.
How can you come in here and say we "need" a chart? That would be a great way for you to contribute...
Instead, you pop off to the people who gave you the ability to run said custom kernels in the first place.
Nice.

You sure as hell aren't being very helpful in the help section. All you are doing is being a self-righteous ***** becuase you think i owe you something. That's what donatons are for. If you can't help the people that are asking for it in the help section then shut up and move on.
Saying "we need one" is just another way of asking if there is one. so, for clarity, is there a list of features comparing kernels? Maybe if I get a second between raising a family and curing cancer I'll teach myself github but as of now I don't know how. That's why I posted in the help section. At least I followed the rules and didn't ask in the dev section. Get over yourself.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing. Take to bull by the horns OP. Not trying to be an a$$ but we would all have to dig through the information only the developers would really know what the differences are. Do it man!
You just assume I have the time and technical ability to do so. And, I didn't ask anybody to make one, only that we need/is there one.

FYI, I wrote a high level summary of the differences in my kernel thread.

Thanks for pointing that out, I had to read through several pages to find it. But I was thinking more of a chart showing who's kernel has which parts from other's kernels. In the end it will probably never happen so at least thank you for that.

If you're going to post to the forums please keep it respectful with each other.
As others have mentioned everyone should have a link to their github or respective sources in their OPs. Just go there and spend a few minutes browsing their recent activity tabs to see what all they've changed. But, if for some reason they're not providing their source please report the thread for violating GPL.
Thread Closed.
