Follow this guide - developer.sonymobile.com/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
Download doomlord's toolchain for this. Also I would recommend u to use backtrack as most of the dependencies and needed things are in it. and when ull write deconfig_semc_devicename replace device name with ur device's codename. Also in the commands don't use "none" whereever given. @abcdjdj will soon write a complete guide on this once he has some free time
For any doubts just PM me

Not able to modify CM 9 boot.img
Hi,
I got the CM 9 (FXP150) for Sony xperia U from one of the mirror.
I want to modify the boot.img, please let me know the correct tool/script to unpack/repack and modify.
I already tried using following with no success:
1) unpacking & packing scripts from Github i.e. unpack-bootimg.pl & repack-bootimg.pl
- unpacking and packing the boot.img without any modifications, this creates a boot.img which doesn't boot
2) split_bootimg.pl
- Gives error message "Bad Magic"
Thanks!

You could use dsixda's android kitchen . Unpacking and repacking are fully automated . Just have to specify the boot.img and it'll get unpacked.

are you using the xkernel kernel sources to build the modules?
You should be using xkernel kernel source to build the module if you want the modules to work with xkernel, not some other kernel source. They probably have their own patches and changes which make building your modules from a different kernel source and having them to work with xkernel to be difficult.
Try googling your error you'll get the solution .
First search before you post.
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
I am using xkernel sources.
The phone shows kernel version 2.6.32.59-codenameX. My modules info "modinfo" shows 2.6.32.59-perf.
Then i found a solution
I change "kernelsource/include/linux/utsrelease.h" file content perf to codenameX. Then compiled.
Now error is "insmod option.ko
insmod: can't insert 'option.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter "

[SOLVED][Q] MIUI 2.11.9. problems

Hi,
I want to build MIUI roms, which are updated if MIUI updates its roms.
So I started, but got some problems on MIUI 2.11.9, based on ICS:
It boots, bootanimation appears, lockscreen for 2 seconds, it reboots, bootanimation, lockscreen, bootanimation again and it starts all over...
I attached a zip, because I mad a logcat, a 2nd logcat after doing fix permissions in cwm, the build.prop (to be sure that I did everything like MIUI wants it) and the updater-script (to be sure everything's okay with it).
It would be great if you could download them and help me!
Best regards
Mihahn
P.S.: Please don't spam this thread, only helpfull information, please!

From LT18i, not from source.
Maybe if I get this rom booting and everything working, I will try to port from sources, or I will start porting Android 4.2, but because I'm not really a developer, it's hard to work from source...
Do you know what the problem on my project is?

Okay, so base rom should have no problem, the updater-script could be, but I just took the one inside for Lt18i, tried anotherone, didn't work anyway...
There were no errors, when compiling framework-res.apk

I am fine, just ordered HTC One X and may be soon i will be only reading here for my Wife's Sony Xperia Sola :laugh:
Sorry didn't see this thread,
I can edit a kernel and I already had done it for sola, (if you had pm me about it I would give it to you )
I did it because akkufix asked me to do
here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/download/um6uct2ypt990vk/boot_sola_jb_patched.img
oh by the way I just changed the init.rd to have shelld services it still using framework_ext.jar though you can do it to framework_ext.jar by using my github => https://github.com/sijav/patchrom_nypone
you have to get fix_patchrom.sh and also download build and tools folders, (I have added some script which will build this framework.jar without any problems by moving some files from framework.jar to framework_ext.jar )
you may wanna download the after_patch_out as it has the fix for the android.policy.jar!
If you don't want the after_patch_out then you should delete the last line in tools/add_miui_smail.sh which is "cp -r -f after_patch_$2 out/"
happy porting
Thanks alot for your help bro..
Really appreciate it!!
Will try your edited kernel for Sola & let it boot first and then later on will start fixing other issues..
Cause sola is like almost same as go interms of framework n stuff

welcome
P and GO have same framework.jar! and also android.policy.jar and services and framework_ext.jar, I have confirmed it by making diff at every single smali file in these frameworks, but still if you have any problems let me know
just be sure to rename framework2.jar to framework_ext.jar when you are using this kernel

[Devs-only][WIP][ThinkTank] Dualbooting on Xperia U

Now It's a pain in the *** to test a rom and we have to restore rom or some sort to get back to our daily rom.
And Sony Xperia S had succeeded,I'll take it as a reference and see if we can work on this.
This is not a placeholder.
Link to the Xperia S thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880305
I'll be "investigating" this.And I also need all the devs help. (I'm not really an highly skilled developer,so I would really need some help here)
Devs only please. No request for tester or users that asks for ETA. Do not post any reply unrelated to development on this thread.
Keep it only for devs,and make it clean.
Devs,good luck to you guys.
Dual recovery is needed,I'll start by porting TWRP. (I'll focus on this first)
Wow. This is kick ass stuff.
Similar to what was done in G3MOD, except that here its actually dual boot, with the ROMs installed on internal storage, while there it was implemented in a slightly simpler way by packing multiple ramdisks and extracting system.img files when required to switch between ROMs.
Considering our already existing problem of not having of an expandable storage, G3MOD's implementation seems far more appealing.
I will take a look at this soon enough.
Well I didn't store a lot of things on my device,only roms and some other stuff,my internal storage is actually more than enough.
But that method seems to be more friendly on the internal storage,as we have a lot of unused phone memory. (the place where roms are installed to)
I'll look into that too.
Edit : It seems like the G3MOD project is already abandoned. But we can look at their sources at github.
We could make it load from sdcard by pressing a combination of buttons on Sony logo! We need kernel first of all! But also a way to do it.

We're trying to dual boot different rom with different kernel
I don't believe that we can make it load a different kernel! If we could then we could also let permanently locked bootloaders to do so too! We will have to load it from a single kernel!

In the first thread,Xperia S is able to load two kernel.
why is there always have to be made for locked bootloader?
custom kernel NEEDS an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
how can you use a single kernel?via the patch?
I'll look into it first.
