4.0/4.1 Kernal Question - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I really don't mean to be rude but if you had the time and knowledge to write a kernal. Is it possible to rewrite/recomplie a kernal ect to make it work. I know that's a huge amount of work but if you did would it work?

I really don't mean to be rude too, but you've just asked a BS question I think you don't fully understand what an operating system kernel is. So, let's start from the scratch: what you want to do (in non-technical language)?

I know sort of what a kernal dose. Controls CPU sect but I have no knowledge of Linux etc.

I'm not sure I'm parsing your question correctly, but I'll try to answer the best I can.
Yes. It is possible to write and compile a kernel that works. Depending on what you consider a kernel, it could range from a couple hours work on 100 lines of C, or it could take decades and never be complete.

iOS on HD2??

Ok, yes i know this question has been asked countless number of times,but is this possible??.
the reason why i would like to have this OS is for the apps and games.
If there is no one out there willing to do this port, thn pls give me a clue on how i could do so, i wouldn't mind spending some free time porting this OS i just need to know how to do it
And pls no clever comments about how this is a stupid question, and u dont want it blah blah blah
thx
pm me if u could tell me how i would start this

While it sounds like a good idea, I think you will have serious issues, with respect to the HD2's hardware vs. the iPhone. Since the OS is closed, and developed for specific hardware, runing it would take reverse enginering the existing drivers and creating all new ones from scratch. This is porbably the biggest hurdle you will face. Not to mention issues with addressing the memory, differances in chip archetecture, and licencing issues, I doubt this will ever come to fuition.
If you like the iOS so much, get a ipod touch to use with your phone (Over WiFi Teather- which is what I do) but I don't think this project will go anywhere

with enough resources, emulation may be possible, however, I think the overhead of runing an emulator, running an app, would cause teh apps to run very slowly. Most emulators for WM, emulate lesser powered processors (Gameboy, NES, Playstation, DOS, Mac (Old style system 7 Mac Classic),c64) However I think the iphone/ipad probably have a very simmilar chip in terms of speed, to the HD2. While the older hardware may have been inferior, it would still exceede the processing power of existing emulators. Also, you would have to emulate just about everything on a hardware level, which again will slow things down. So while theoretically possible, I will say this is also highly unlikely. I think you would have simmilar issues to porting, and even if solved by emulation, the result would be incredible slow apps.
Again, you can pick up a cheap used touch, and teather with WiFi, and do almost everything an iPhone can do, and much better than emulation could ever do. I will add, WiFi teather is available on the NRG Rom's for the HD2, and works quite well. Also if you are still stock ROM, you may want to flash/upgrade to a custom ROM like the one in my sig...

If an iTard's iDevice told them too...prolly yeah. But seriously, porting iOS? To another device? Crazy talk, will never happen.

wht an ass -.-
hmm, an emulator would be nice, if only to shove it down an iDrones throat! The number of 'apps' (what happened to calling them 'programs'?) is the only thing they have over us, even if 90%+ are junk.
I've read in several places that upto the 3GS, the processor was about 660 MHz, way slower than the HD2
I've not heard what the iClone4 A4 processor speed is yet.
Interesting idea re the iPod touch, but I don't want to carry a second device & the screen is too small! ;-)
As has been said in every other iOS on the HD2 thread, the kernel is where porting happens, and it IS open source. Also porting the mach kernel has been done before, as both iOS and Mac OS run off it. So yes iOS can be ported to other platforms like the HD2, but apple's legal team would be all over it before anyone got started. The only way not to get sued if it were to happen would be to not distribute the port, the most that could be done would be posting up detailed instructions. But it defeats the purpose if you can't distribute it from the devs to the end user.
LMAO
Who would like to put iOs on such a great smartphone ? I mean a real smartphone ?
Anyway thank you that was funny to read !

ok my opinion in that is:
1- yes kernel wise it CAN be done
2- it IS nice t say we can do it
3- should we burn time/resources/devs for a NICE thing to do
in my humble opinion HELLLLLLLL NO we have more useful/important/promissing projects like NAND Android

Kernel vs kernel. Which should I take, and use?

Hey guys,
I'm on the lookout for a good kernel.
Which kernel you you say is the best for my needs?
Need:
Over-/Underclockable
Over-/Undervolt
GPU renedring
GPU Over-/Underclock
small and compact
Dualboot would be nice aswell, as I am trying to stay stock, but yet I am making a custom ROM... (Both with root)
If you could help me, I would be greatful...
And, maybe you could also give me a few tips, on where to code Android on a Windows Machine, Linux isn't really my cup of tea, you see...
But, it really needs to be flashable via Odin(because the Siyah recovery isn't all that good, but I don't want to downgrade, just get a complete new kernel)

Actually the Siyah recovery is the same one that Hyperdroid stock kernel uses as well and i have not had any complaints with it so far. And another thing. No point me telling you what kernel to go because what might work for me might not work for you.

I think you bought the wrong phone if you are waiting for WP7 to come to the galaxy s2 as it is a totally different operating system and no way it can be ported over. So you might as well sell your phone now and go and buy a Nokia Lumnia if you do not like android and want WP7.
So what you just mentioned above the only kernel that i would recommend is Siyah. But you have to give it at least a few days or a week to actually get the full benefit of a kernel not a day or two. But anyway down to you i just thought i give you my opinion. Best of luck anyway

We suggest trying kernels until you find one you like.
Closed.

CM7 in the meantime?

So I was thinking earlier today, according to a few people, we apparently have RIL working just not a kernel source to make AOKP/AOSP stable.
I also thought, well, we have plenty of people still running GB ROMs and people on GB firmware. Why don't people try to put together a CM7.2 ROM since we do have source for GB.
I'm pretty sure Android is all about choice and variety so I ask someone who is experienced in porting, development, etc. Why doesn't someone get in touch with Tekk, or whoever has RIL working and pop out a CM7 (.2?) port, it's still AOSP so it'll hold people over and hell, some people would probably prefer it, not to mention that I'm sure people would rather have a form of Cyanogenmod over nothing at all.
I have no clue how, nor the computer to ever begin trying it, so it's why I ask.
This would definitely be nice. Cm7.2 is amazing on my incredible. I would love to see it on the rezound! Maybe... Just maybe...

If RIL is fixed for ICS AOSP ROMs supposedly, and we're waiting for kernel source to get it stable, couldn't we translate the RIL fixes down to a GB AOSP ROM, I thought also since we have GB kernel source, all loose ends would be tied up?
We would need someone to take time to make a RIL. I doubt they would. They said in the passed they didn't want to cause of ICS but if we can't progress in CM9 due to kernel source. Why not progress in CM7. Might be a step back but you would make a lot of people happy.

This is kinda my sentiment, if we can't progress any farther on CM9 until HTC/Verizon get the OTA out (which could come as early as next week or as late as 2 months from now, if the latest June-July report is accurate), why not do a CM7 side project, it would seem we have most of, if not all of what we need available.

Which to me and probably many others is better than possibly nothing and if nothing else, just gives us some more variety which is never bad.
There are a ****load of other fixes aside from RIL that were done for ICS that would have to be redone for GB. For example, things like EGL took a long time to fix for ICS.

Why is everybody asking for something instead of attempting to learn something and do it as their own "side-project"?
I got sick of waiting for AOSP, so I found one a ROM I liked and I asked the original dev if I could try to port it. He said go for it, and so I started working on it. Once I have a something worthy of going public, it might just pop up somewhere...
Anyways, the point is, why do I see everybody asking for things but nobody willing to try and do it themselves? Isn't the whole point of Android the ability to tinker with it and make it do whatever you want?
...but, if you're going to depend on someone else to do it for you, it just doesn't seem fair to ask the developers here to "hurry up" or go out of their way to develop something they aren't interested in using themselves..

I understand you were asking about the possibility and not saying something like "Hurry the hell up and give me at least CM7!" and honestly my comment wasn't directed at you at all, or any other single person for that matter. It just seems like in general, we have a common theme of people asking for things like they are entitled, but having no interest in actually contributing to anything at all. I was attempting to point out that really any of us could learn to do these things, if we would just try to spend some time on it...

I would love to learn, however I lack the time requirement to learn it with a full time + job, a three year old, a preggers wife, and a house to get ready for the new demon spawn. Sucks because I'd probably be pretty good at it too. I have no expectations on devs and will continue to patiently wait for anything they release.

[Q] Really, whats the difference?

Ok, so im looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 specifically in the Frankenstein firmwares section because, seriously, if your going to put bits and peices together they gotta be the good bits n peices right?
Im mostly confused tho, whats the difference between LP2, LP3, LPS, LP4, LP7, LPD, etc.?
I know many of them were released in different regions, branding is going to be slightly different, apps i dont care about i usually strip out the crappy apps anyways.
I flash my modem because its what works best for me. Kernel i use Siyah. What differences, if any, will i see with the different roms? Or are they all pretty much the same?
If they are all pretty much the same then that begs the question why all the different versions? Which is widely accepted as "the best" or "One of the best" ?
EDIT
That last sentance was more directed as a "stay away from JPKI1 its rather buggy, ____ Is pretty much the same but without the bugs". On my prime its the same firmware pretty much worldwide, just translation is different for each region. Its easy to tell which version is better, usually the higher number is newer and has the previous versions bugs worked out. Samsung had to go weird and make regional updates so every region has a different version. THAT is where my confusion is.

I have found that some are just bad and people say to avoid them because most people have problems, thats more what i was hoping for with that statment.
I dont expect to have people do the work for me or try all the roms for me, and i know whats good for one person may not be good for another, im just... Overwhelmed by the abundance of options that are all apparently the same. Thats all.

Just searching the forums, dude. I had to do all my own legwork learning how to decompile .apk files, how to then tweak/edit them, then recompile them... Along with how to use smali/baksmali. There are a bunch of tutorials out there in the Theme/App section, as well as the development sections.
Just start somewhat small; do some searches for "APK Edit" or "APK Manager". That should give you something to start with. Once you have a grasp of that, you'll find other stuff just ends up in your lap as a result.
Edit to add: as a result of what I've picked up, I've found I prefer Samsung stock firmwares that I tweak to my own liking over other ROMs.
Well back to the root question: Main difference between the many, many different versions of stock ICS. What kind of stuff do they change? Whats so different between WXLP7 and LPDFG, for instance?

Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't publish changelogs. So the only way to know is to try them both out yourself...
Or I guess you could wait until someone who already has tried them both out and noted all the changes reads this post and responds.

I think he was asking about the overall firmwares, and not specifically the modem.
I was kinda hoping for the latter since my unexperienced eye didnt notice anything doing the former.
Didnt know sammy didnt provide changelogs, that kind of sucks. Oh well, was worth a shot i guess.
Guess this thread wont go anywhere since theres no tangeable proof one way or the other of any differences. Thanks for the patience with me anyways XD

[Q] Binary Kernel Patching at runtime via safestrap

I am wondering if maby we can hex-patch the DVFS table at execute to at least gain some overclocking
I read the kexec thread but the consensus there is that development is stalled waiting for a breakthrough

hrmmm.... you talking about patching the dvfs kernel module or writing a custom module ...
if so I am surprised nobody has done that yet ..
is hex-patching from safestrap at all feasible ... it would grant you the 'keys' to all manner of "doors"
I used to fiddle with it on my cheap mk808 tv stick before we had kernel sources
I am surprised nobody has used kmodule's as a "attack vector" people seem to be chipping away and the Mountain that is kexec instead of just focusing on patching the issues we have with the stock kernel .. . a few years ago somebody was doing hex patches to implement kernel changes on the first generation of rockchip powered "tv sticks" the same logic should apply here
then again maby I have just been out of the game for way to long ....

I have dabbled with this, using a custom module based on the 8660 overclock module I found source for somewhere. The reason kexec is so much more desired then fixing the current kernel is because patching the current kernel might give us more io schedulers, overclock, custom governors etc, but at the end of the day all that crap isn't worth much on the poor excuse for android ui known as touchwiz.
Idk about you but I can tell you I for sure would not want to post a thread on overclocking or modifying cpu via modules in this day and age of 'the entitled xda user'. Maybe that's why you don't see any threads.
You bring up a good point about how people don't understand the various uses kernel modules can provide including but not limited to being attack vectors (though to some degree this is being done with kexec).

ill be the first one to admit I haven't keept up on this stuff simply because the effort started outweighing the gain
it just seems to me that people are chasing clouds ... with kexec the possibility of getting it working is basically nill due to lack of debugging information so why not attack something you can debug such as a kernel module hell in theory it should be possible to add io schedulers and governors via a module hell with a properly 'crafted' module we may even get kexec(kgraft?) as a result if you could create a exploit you could use to the proper effect ..
I agree that touchwizz is utter poo and should be stabbed with white hot knives and buried under 12ft of cement but the phrase "if life gives you lemons ... make lemonade" rings to mind ...
I am sure somebody will give me the usual speech about "if you are so smart do it your self" but sometimes people just need to step back and look at it another way .. + I am fighting insomnia and am on my third shot of jack ...
wow did I really write all that jesus ... no more jack for me at 12 am...

Lol. At least your question is a good topic of debate. Most questions and posts in our forum are boring to me but this isn't, so there's that I guess.

realistically you probably could't alter to much but adding overclocking a variety of minor tweaks could be done in hex
on a personal note I would be content with figuring out how to get some overclocking/undervolting done

When you reply to me, you realize you are actually continuing your thoughts and not actually replying to me right?
