write protection (for devs) - HTC Desire X

I was looking through some other threads while I found this , they have mentioned our device(old version though), but at end of post OP have mentioned of the module working for kernal 3.4 of various devices, I was confused, that is why I am posting it here so that devs could have a look at it....

If I'm not confused flar already brought this kernel to us a while ago

You're confused because you don't write it full, it is not 3.4 but 3.4.10 and our DX kernel is 3.4.0

[KERNEL] International FROST Kernel

[KERNEL] International FROST Kernel
NOTICE: This is COMPATIBLE with AOSP+ AND PureAosp JellyBean 4.3!
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you !​
THIS KERNEL IS CURRENTLY IN TESTING STATUS AND NOT BETA OR STABLE
*Features*
Quad Core is disabled by default, the X+ will now turn into a Dual core device (this can be changed with the performance governor)
Memory features are = to that of a 3.4 android kernel
more to come

Thb I know I dont have this phone but I planing on getting it and didn't see a linaro optimized just saying its a change of pace ...if u don't put it in its cool and anyone saying linaro doesn't do anything is crazy if its there why not use it ..its different could mean better

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Linaro optimizations consist of both changes made to the Android Open Source Project (and CM) as well as a special toolchain that uses GCC 4.7. Because this is a kernel that is only offered in its source form, it is up to you to build it with the Linaro toolchain if you want to see the performance benefits that can arise from the Linaro optimizations. Also Lloir was somewhat specific in telling you not to make feature requests (I would consider Linaro such a request), so you might want to read his post a bit more closely next time.

This is a link to the kernel source. you would have to build the kernel yourself. if your looking for a CM kernel for ATT HOX+, then i would wait for a fully working CM rom first. There is still audio issues with CM, however devs are working on it. Be patient :laugh:

Will this affect us ??

I just saw this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41115145
Will this affect us who love the JB ROMs as there is no Kernel Source for JB yet from hTC
It will affect us if we post JB ROMs which are not based on stock kernel without releasing the source code. So I think we should show up in the thread there and start gathering devices which face the same or a similar problem, so we can form a greater community against those manufacturers.
Yes it will affect, basically according to it your JB ROM is against rules
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
What I understand is, if using the stock boot.img and there is no source code for it, we have to remove the boot.img from the ROM as every users supposed to have the stock boot.img in their device.
I have no problem to remove the boot.img but the problem is we have many noobs which are not so sure with all the workaround and how to get things done

:good::goodont worry, you can unpack the stock boot.img. Just make some harmless changes in ramdisk and repack it. Then share the modified ramdisk on github along with zImage.
PM me if you need help on this.

Yasir
P.S. I know its a workaround, so some xda recognized dev is welcome to correct me if what i said above is wrong.:good::good:
I found This:
zelendel says:
"This is not so. The kernel source HAS to be made available. If the OEM doesnt provide the kernel source then no rom for that device will be allowed. OEMs post the source code for their kernels. Well most do anyway, the ones that dont are in violation of the GPL laws.
What ever kernel is in the rom that is posted must have available kernel source. If roms are using the stock kernel and no sources are available then it will be removed. If it is using a custom kernel based on the clone source and a link to the source can be provided then that is fine. But the source MUST match the kernel in the rom."
So i guess, custom JB Rom by you is in danger of removal.

It is ok if I remove the kernel.
It just that I don't have much time to redo the ROM.
I'll try to find time to make init.d support without ramdisk mod and post updated ROM.
If I don't have enough time, I can only upload a new ROM after I come back from vacation in mid June

Could it be possible just to use kernel from kernel.org, config from ICS HTC and adjusting this config a bit so that it works or is the kernel from android too much different from the linux kernel?
So i unnecessarily try to use prebuilt 3.4 kernel for cm10.1 because if it will working, i won't be able to share it -.-

Your hard work is nonetheless appreciated, thank you for that and also your efforts towards organising the petition etc.
Ok, but if I'm not mistaken, as soon as HTC releases JB's kernel sources every ROM based on it will be "legal" or according to xda rules and not been removed right?
May be they're waiting for every country to get JB by OTA to release them (I believe only India doesn't have received it yet if I'm not mistaken).
By the way @atis112, did you get any answer from GPL?
Have you all a great day

[Q] Version 3.0.xx kernel vs 3.4

Hello, I wanted to ask you, who are a community of experts, to take off a question.
Why us with the galaxy s3 int we are still stuck at version 3.0.xx kernel? and for example users with galaxy s plus they have kernel versions 3.4
There are some incompatibilities?
is a problem of the processors Exynos?
Thanks for your attention
because you shouldn't compare versions in different devices.
PS read the sticky threads before posting. Qs go into Q&A
Because Samsung. Exynos or not, they keep certain kernel versions a long time.
On the other hand, if it works and works well, why upgrade?

Sorry for the error (if there is any mod that can move the discussion in Q & A :good
Anyway I did this comparison because it was the first terminal that came to my mind,
why do you say that I should not compare your different terminals?

No, no, it works well for what it is just my question on this fact because you can get to a kernel upgrade (perhaps in the end it does not change anything)

It's right! ... But also the various Temasek, Googy, Siyah etc. to s3 are stationary to that version 3.0.xx, for what I wondered why even the custom kernel does not make a version upgrade

The US S3's have the 3.4 kernel now I believe. They are all Qualcomm-equipped devices, though.

Oh .... then it is assumed to be due to the processor Exynos and its sources to blame? : (
We are forced to keep up with updates to Samsung?

Yes they're different kernel strains.
3.0.85 is the latest in one strain used in aosp (3rd July) released the same day as 3.4.52

3.4 is supposedly better.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
3.4 over 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 introduces bugfixes (obviously) but more important, it introduces new "features".
I put features in " because often a new feature will be a hardware driver or a new protocol or method.
However, these new features wont be relevant to all hardware sets. For example, I don't need my s3 kernel to provide support for the latest broadcom Gigabit pci-x network card or update chipset drivers for the intel i7-540M laptop processors....
In 3.0.x we get the same bug fixes. There's really no point updating the base version if it doesn't include a feature we need.

Yep. From the link I posted on the last page, kernels 3.0, 3.2 and 3.4 are longterm support, meaning these kernels will continue to be updated for some time.

[Q] Why do no kernels use Linux past 4.0.101?

I paraphrased the title a little bit. I was looking through the different kernels available for the i9300 and noticed all of kernels only use up to Linux kernel 3.0.101, why is that?

viper has its own custom kernal or atleast sense 5 does.
There's only 2 custom kernels for sense roms, one sense 4 and one sense 5 and they are not currently supported anymore. They are crpalmers sense kernel (sense 4) and beastmode by zarboz (sense 5) You can find them in the developement threads. Any other kernels such as joelz or viper are basically stock kernels.

Technically, that was about producing one without kernel source. When HTC releases kernel source code, I'll probably build a version with it unless it requires some major reworking.

Thanks for clarifying. It should be noted for people wondering such as the OP in this case that a true custom kernel requires source to be released. I'm not sure which features zarboz put in beastmode 3.0.

Zarboz made some display changes to make the source code we have work with 4.2.2 ROMs. Without, the display doesn't work at all.

I see, the lesson here being if source isn't released then you're stuck with modified stock kernels.
