[Q] Igloo kernel for NovaThor U8500 - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey there, can someone explain if this cuold be usefull for devs?
I was just searching for some information about Xperia U and the ICS update when I fuond this dev community. They're all developing around the NovaThor SoC.
Here's the link to their git:
http://www.igloocommunity.org/gitweb/?p=kernel/igloo-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=29a3e1ef73daaa91cbf5cce2fb475f1878254402

Thanks. We know about that kernel, though I'm investigating the Xperia P kernel closer now and it seems it'll be easier to use that.

Ok. Perfect I think this is the kernel seen in the JB prewiev video!

It would be easier if we have a 3.x. (Have we ?)
Because JB run only on those kernel, as ICS. And if you wait a bit Sony will release this 3.x kernel with the ICS update. Then it would be much easier to port.
The update is planned for August-October so not so much time to wait.

actually, we have JB and ICS running on a really old 2.6.29 kernel on the X8, so, it's possible, only needs the latest KSM and stuff.. obviously, that means some efforts from the developers...
No requests! You have to wait till ics sources are there

[Idea] Donation to Achotjan, we may get SDE for Ray

Hey everybody,
I just talked to Achotjan about if he could make hes rom Semc Debrand Engine for Xperia Ray and I did get the answer that hes phone that he did use for developing is broken and he need a new one. He told me that he may port jellybean directly from the new Xperia devices and also that this is the best way to get a unofficial update for our phones.
This is the actual pm I did receive from him:
Hi the problem is that its hard to developpe even for xperia Arc , i have a Arc but its damaged no gsm and sdcard slot not working thats why the developement is lowed down , now i am focusing more on 2010 line of xperia to finish the GB version it will be soon final and will creat the SemcDebrandEngine website , uploading now all my work on ul.to to have somme mony to be able to buy a new xperia 2011 line device
if xperia ray comunity are able then you could creat a thread in general forum for donation to help me to buy a device, if i have the device i will gladly devloppe on it , and it wil not take long, you could see 2010 line is too old but i am still working on them to bring latest update before leave
2011 line will not have any other sony firmware update so you are right best alternative is SDE, cause even if new JB firmware will be on 2013 xperia line i can creat the rom and update the firmware of the phone
cheers

Should we start a donation to help him get his phone repaired so we can get a new developer that will help us get really good roms? I think so, but what do you users think about this?
I don't want to be rude mate but I think there is no point of having him working him on ray because it is still an unofficial port so its like pac and cm10 but slightly or even no difference..... Well you asked for an opinion and that's mine.... Sorry and thanx

But have you heard about debrand engine? Its a rom with fully functioning UXP from Xperia S and it may be updated to Jellybean.
He also said that he may port the official update for other phones to Xperia Ray
And btw, we dont have FXP anymore so we need new devs, and he is a recognized developer, he have made roms for almost all 2010-2011 xperias.

Oh surprised that you did all these things for X8. Flashing it to my X8. By the way did you plan building stock replacement rom for Xperia 2011 range as you did for X10? I think everyone who dont need cm stuff would love it, because it would be an exact unofficial sony update. Respect and thanks for everything you did for X8, ChongWiZ. Hope your Arc will be fixed soon.

im in i think he sould incorperare cm10.1 as were not geting support for that. the sgs1 has a working asop android 4.2 already the same spec as ray so what was fxp on about needing 1gb of ram for it.
i have 2 rays but the back light has gone on 1 but i would gladly send and donate it if its cheap enough to fix.
and this would support the MDPI range for xperia's 2011 too ?

the problem heare is not that its impossible, the idea that xperia x8 could have SemcDebrandEngine and based on xperia 2012 line that was "impossible" but we know that everithink is possible it just need time and work, but FXP couldnt take too much time on that device cause supporting too many devices, the problem is that he havent the time for that
but if i start to work on ray then it will not be on cm10.1 or cm10, but CM9
why ? : cause we have only a ICS sony firmware
but when 4.1 firmware will be out, then CM10 SDE will be released
and when 4.2 firmware will be released cm10.1 SDE will be released too
cheers

[ASK] Is it possible to Port kernel 3.x from other devices??

Hello, i'm not a developer, just wanna to ask something that maybe useful for xperia 2011 (maybe ). Sorry i posted here because xperia ray doesn't have a general section.
By the way, is it possible to port a kernel from other device that have same chip with xperia ray?
I saw at Galaxy W and S Plus forum that they currently build (or port?) kernel 3.x
Here is the development thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855557
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938811
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742976
Galaxy W and S Plus have a same chip and spec like xperia 2011 series.
You can check it at here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
it's MSM 8255 too. And i found that Huawei Honor also has a MSM8255 chip like xperia 2011 who have an official ICS with Kernel 3.x.
So, is it possible to port? If it's hard to build kernel 3.x from scratch, then why not we port it? As far as i know, galaxy s 1 also have build their own 3.x.
I'm sorry if this considered as a noob post, i'm just trying to help the devs about porting kernel 3.x from other device, maybe we can port it to our device.
ya seems like a nice idea, can any developers do this ??

Maybe it would be easier to port a Kernel from other Xperia Device - I heard a lot about NighElf kernel form Xperia NEO V.
Yes It is posible I'm working with Kamarush and adridu59 on a 3.0 and 3.4 kernel we have some problems but I needs time because we have to backport the clock and acpuclock and some other stuff what has changed from sony.

Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
I've talked with multiple developers. Summarizing:
It is possible, but it would take several months, during which the number of users still using this phone maybe only half of that now. It's simply not worth to spend the time on. 2.x kernel with tweaks isn't much worse than 3.x kernel.
We working for the 2011 series but to get the Kernel to boot this is a long way...
Im trying to port 2.6.35 to know which code had to be changed sony said there are minimal changes when i lock at the drivers there are many changes
But i/we hope to get the kernel to boot soon
