Hello,
I believe a lot of us would like to do it, so let's please describe here how-to:

Excellent initiative, I could write a short howto for Arch Linux later.
But one thing though, it might be a good idea to mention in the first post that you can't actually boot a custom kernel yet.

My topic about compiling kernel sources has already many infos so do you think another similar topic is really necessary ?

Your thread is excellent but I'd guess that this thread would be more oriented towards "hand-holding", really basic guides. Your topic was very broad requiring going to the android developers site and reading their docs on cross-compilation. Gathering that info into easier guides could be beneficial, if not to demystify the process.
As it stands right now just compiling modules seems almost insurmountable. But if the information needed could be condensed into simple guides it could show that while it takes considerable time and effort it's not an impossible task even for developers not familiar with cross-compiling kernels.
And information information on setting up cross-compilers for Win, Mac and popular Linux distros is nice to have available in an easy to find topic anyway.
IMHO, the easiest way to make modules would be a virtualbox image already set up with arm gcc, kernel sources and X10 kernel config. It's a long process to set everything up; virtualbox makes this easier and cross platform.

Yes, french for me is a bit difficult
Ok i managed to make Ubuntu on my Parallels, just finished with the gcc. Let's see how it works.
Maybe i will share it.
kernel config is included in the /etc folder if I remember well, hope it's the same for the mini X10
It's actually in /proc

Hi zdzihu,
I managed somehow install arm gcc on my Ubuntu. Now it's time for the tools.
So i would like to ask what config should i use arm v4? V5?
I am so tired with this linux things, but finally at least the demo busybox compiled well
So i tried to compile with arm-v5te config but for flash read (which is normaly working) it says
Code:
# ./dump_image system /sdcard/tt.bin
error reading system: Inappropriate ioctl for device
My task it not to run flash tools available, but my own, to compile all myself, to try to do the trick with the CPU to accept kernel, that i compiled.
Thanks.
The Snapdragon is armv7 compliant, so that should be your target.

I can't find v7 .. Should i consider the V as the CPU ver?
Then its 1136 if i am not wrong?

Are you using that tool to build the toolchain? In that case it might not have the option to build for that arch. The best way to make sure you get the correct one is to build it manually from scratch.

Looks like there is no other tut to build the toolchain. I searched days and nights to find something working.
I even compiled bysybox with it and it works on my x10!
But i found some sources of flash backup, called nandtools, compiled them well, no errors but the exec files are 4x bigger than the precompiled ones... And it makes the IOControl error..
the NDK won't compile, it requires Makefile or Android.mk and those are real headache to learn.
The Makefile from the archive is not compatible with NDK's make system and so on...
And so 2 weeks..
Pufff.. I am so tired if just linux things
Any hand?
Hi there, ARM is backward compatibile so compiled for v5 should run just fine. Problem must be somewhere else... I'm at work at the moment so I can't help much
By the way, there was some kind of dedicated flash tool posted already HERE, maybe you could check with jerpelea for re-upload?

You see, i need to compile mine, i have enough tools here already working, but my task is to compile my own and that's why i need a toolchain.
NDK is ok for the kernel, i compiled it already. But the native applications are not supported fully. Like write is deprecated and you can't use this function, and lot other limitations. So independent toolchain would help.
That's the point.

I decided to make my first custom rom. The main difference over klin1344's klassic is the fact that we can customize what we want with the aroma installer. As of now, there's no customised interface (and there will not be. Consider this like WT Ho's rom for the 5.0).
I stop working on it because I want to try something other than stock. Also thanks for your consideration for this rom. (I will continue the maintenance of it though)
Features:
- Stock 2.3.6 XXKPQ
- Rooted
- Busybox
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- Aroma installer: An interactive installer
- Multiple bootanimations.
- Choice between TW 3.0, TW 4.5, Go launcher EX, Xperia S launcher
- Possibility to install DSP manager and voodoo app (for sound enchance)
- Features the CWM 5.0.2.7 (Intl Only. Kernel based from steve's 3.0) (V.1.0)
- US users will recieve the latest klin's R2 custom kernel* (V.1.0).
- Intl and US compatibility in a single zip. (v.2.0)
- SuperSU (v.3.0)
Changelog:
Code:
[B]V.3.0 (Vita) FINAL [/B]
- Deodexed and Zipaligned
- SuperSU is used instead of SuperUser
- Updated Google Play Store, Maps and Youtube app (Can play 720p) (It's real this time)
- Possibility to add Antutu Cpu Master Free (For Overclock)
[B]V.2.0 (Radiance)[/B]
- Name changed only to Renaissance
- Possibility to chose the device type (Thanks to dark_valor's Terra Silent)
- New Honeycomb bootanimation
- Possibility to add terminal to the rom
[B]v.1.0 (Etincelle)[/B]:
- Initial Release.
Download:
1.0
Intl: Intl Renaissance 1.0 Download
US: US Renaissance 1.0 Download
2.0: Renaissance 2.0 Download
3.0: Renaissance 3.0 Download
If you want there's the Xperia S Wallpapers: Xperia S Wallpapers Download
If there's a problem with antutu, install the apk here: Cpu Master Apk Download
If there's a problem with terminal reinstall it.
Instructions:
1. Boot into Cwm
2. Backup
3. Wipe data (BEFORE IT IS MANDATORY)
4. Run renaissance-device.zip
5. Follow the instructions.
6. Reboot
7. Enjoy!
If you do like please hit thanks button. If you have problem with installation, Send me .log file in aroma. If it's problem with the rom please let me know.
Thanks to:
amarullz: for Aroma installer
Klin1344, SteveS and stratosk for the kernel related things.
WT Ho for his base for aroma installer. (and help too )
GO Dev Team , Fr4gg0r and ra3al for their launcher
Dark_balor for his kernel (terra silent)
Jackpal for the terminal emulator
Antutu for the CPU Master
As this is the last version, If you want to use something in the rom (porting) ask me first.(Mostly for Aroma)
These are the possible implementations (suggestions)
- Deodex
- Performance tweaks
- More customisation options
- Better compatibility with apps (Like deviceID hack)

Does the CWM 5 in the kernel I gave you work well? Because when I gave it to you there seemed to be a lot of errors... But if it does, I'll probably apply those changes back to my kernel again and update to cwm 5 because it allows easier converting to ext4. Also, did stratosk give you permission because I used his cwm recovery files from his sources. (just making sure, so he doesn't come and flame me for porting cwm5 from his sources without permission)

When you sent it to me back then it wasn't working well. So I fixed the errors on it (I did send a PM for you for testing). I do got permission from stratosk (that's why I put him in the thanks section.) I think I have the US kernel in my mediafire account. I'll upload it so both devices will have justice.

Ok thanks. But how exactly did you fix it? I didn't flash the kernel you gave me but where are your sources? (the Linux kernel is GPL licensed, so it's mandatory to have a source )

Never mind for now I will just extract the initrd from your kernel and use git to track the changes from the one I sent to you.
But really, you need to provide a source if you release a kernel, as per the GPL license.

From which release of the Klin rom you based yours ?
If it's from the R5, did you had the font that were missing ?
Is it supercharged ?
For the kernel I'm also curious to know what are the change you have done

If you can extract the initramfs then that's basically your source because cwm is only an initramfs change.
But again, how did you do it? Surely you remember what changes you did? It sounds like a minor tweak because you sent me your kernel a matter of hours after I sent you mine.
Btw, you know that you can downgrade ubuntu without losing data right? Ndiswrapper wasn't working on 12.04 so I put my 11.04 disc in and was able to install without losing all my personal files.

Ok, I just used git to check your initramfs for your INTL kernel, and lpm.rc is exactly the same as my source, and in init.rc it's also the exact same thing as my source for the CWM 5.0.2.7 beta (not on github anymore), except that you forgot a '/' in enabling bootanimation support.
So I'm confused. When I gave you my kernel, there seemed to be many errors because I was screwing with my partition filesystems, and also got a lot of "md5 mismatches" when trying to convert, so I decided to stop and work on other things. You got it working, and you claimed that you "fixed the errors in init.rc and lpm.rc" without proof with a proper source when you CHANGED NOTHING AT ALL. You probably just got lucky with CWM restoring and no md5 mismatches like I had. So you're releasing a kernel with a CWM 5 port that I completely did, and claiming that YOU fixed most of the errors and got it working when proof shows that all you did was download my source before I deleted it and simply compiled them with SteveS's one click compiling script.
And since you don't have a Github account or a source of any sort, you thought you could get away with tricking everybody that you "fixed the CWM errors", when the work was originally done by me. You changed nothing at all. It was not my intention to flame you, but seriously, I am disapointed . I'm really discouraged and very tempted to just take down all my work for the Galaxy Player and just keep all the development to myself. Maybe that's why precious devs keep leaving XDA because people just use someone else's work and package it as their own. Learn to give proper credit to other people, and if you really didn't make something, don't act or say that you did.
Ok, I'm done. Really needed to vent.

ok don't go blaming me BECAUSE IT GOT ERRORS when YOU sent it to me. I corrected some errors but I can't remember which ones is it. I can't get lucky if EVERY of my backups works(Because I got errors for md5 mismatch as well too). It is sure that your init files are the same because I used some of the text you used when you were building YOUR R1 kernel. (so basically I used some of your sources) but you were always complaining about ext4 not working so you gave up on CWMR5.0. and when I said I've fixed them you didin't tested it. DON'T GO COMPLAINING IF YOU DIDIN'T EVEN TESTED IT. (also check all the init files to be sure and also check the thanks it is `kernel related things`.) -___-
EDIT: If you want all the credits. You can have them. I should have said that you made all the changes but the problem was that you gave up on CWMR5.0 so I was like (The kernel works now but I won't release it because you already have your custom kernel with CWMR3.)

The stock kernel won't execute init.d scripts so none of them will work for you.
And since your prime is still locked you can't install a different kernel.
Therefore your decisions is first to unlock then install a custom rom (most include a kernel that supports init.d). Then you can spend time checking out various scripts.

Hello,
today I got my update to 4.1.1. Besides a few minor issues the biggest problem is that the Transformer reboots when I start cifs manager.
There were no more reboots after I renamed cifs.ko and md4.ko but of course I coudn't mount any shares without the modules. I searched around and found something for the Nexus which didn't work either but nothing for the Transformer yet.
Any idea where I can find them? Some threads show that others got the updates a bit earlier, so perhaps the modules are already around somewhere. Or would some kind soul compile them if they don't yet exist?
Many thanks
Armin
by the way: Is there a way to stop the almost permanent update notifications? I would have liked to wait with the update but it is impossible to really work with the tablet because every few minutes it asks again if I would like to update -- even though I selected "wait for a day".
So I gave up after some time and allowed the update and now I don't have cifs mounts any longer...
I got same Problem, too. Maybe a custom kernel for stock rom?

I would look at the custom roms that have CIFS capabilities, download them and pick them apart with blobtools2 and ext2explorer.exe to see what modules you can poach for the stock rooted rom you are running.
Perhaps though a simple post in the thread or email to the author might yield the modules you need without that work.

Bluecat, thanks for this! I wonder if you know what differences exist between the P605 and the P607T. Also, did you use the EUR_LL source from Samsung's opensource portal? Its strange that they already have the source out for the P605, but nothing yet for the P607T which received the update first. Makes me think maybe the code base is the same and its only the bloatware bundled by the carrier that differs?
I am also curious to just learn and get my hands dirty with this. Can you share the Makefile for this kernel, or just point towards the guide you used (assuming you used one) to compile this?

Sorry,but i dont know differences between the P605 and P607T.
Yes,sources SM-P605_EUR_LL_Opensource.zip and version OI5.
If you want check have code 607 and 605 differences or not you should check checksum both original zImage(linux kernel). Extract them from both boot.img and compare.
Version 2 use standart selinux permissive way used by mostly kernel developers,it's have many changes in code now and it's will be very long to explain how to change to permissive,just use my sources available now in first post and compare them with original sources.
If you talk about how to compile kernel...was use many guides and other forums...hard part was only create .config file

Version 2 use standart selinux permissive way used by mostly kernel developers,it's have many changes in code now and it's will be very long to explain how to change to permissive,just use my sources available now in first post and compare them with original sources.
If you talk about how to compile kernel...was use many guides and other forums...hard part was only create .config file

Will try to extract the zImage from the P607T boot.img. I do not have the P605 though, do you know if the stock boot.img is downloadable anywhere?
Thanks for uploading the source. I just finished downloading the original source from the opensource site, will compare the two and try to understand.
I do know how to complile a linux kernel, I meant can you share the .config file (not the makefile, as I wrongly stated earlier), so I can see what has changed across the entire kernel. Rather than just change one line directly in the config file to disable SELinux, I wanted to use make menuconfig and go through the whole process, just to learn more about android kernels. But since I do not know much about the hardware and driver requirements, wanted to see a stock .config as well as your changed .config to understand.

I dont have original config,you can create your own on linux.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing ... As and when I learn anything relevant to the issue of P605 vs. P607T, will update here.
Why does the wifi password get forgotten on every boot?
Any fix for that matter?

Based on the first 5.1.1 sources, version OI5
Before installing the kernel required go to build.prop,find ro.securestorage.support and set the value to false. System may forget your WiFi passwords after flash custom kernel.
SecurityLogAgent has to be removed or frozen.
Flash kernel in odin.

Maybe you missed the update to the original post, the fix is as above, set securestorage to false. Since you have already flashed, you can still go to build.prop, make this change, reboot, and you should be fine.

I tried this. With ro.securestorage.support false. Still no WiFi passwords saved after reboot.
Other than that, this works great!
Xposed (for Samsung by wanam) works great!
valexi, the only thing Ive seen suggested in your case is to reflash the firmware. I do not know of any other solutions for this, because pretty much everybody with this problem seems to have solved it when they changed the securestorage thing.
BlueCat, I went ahead and compared checksums for the stock p607t and p605 kernels, they do NOT match. I also extracted the kernels themselves and the zimage files are of different sizes. I then compared the default config files of the P605_LL_EUR source with the only available source for the P607T, which is KK ... They are considerably different. I am of course going with the assumption that the core config for the kernel between KK and LL should not be TOO different, but of course, this is NOT a reliable test. Lastly, I should also say, the P607T source contained an insane number of config files in the Arch/Arm/configs folder, while the P605 source only had three files! I only compared the three that were common ... It seemed like the 607T has the config files for every possible version of the device, while the 605 one had very specific configs for that device only ... This I am speculating based on the fact that the 607T folder even had a msm8894_sec_l03ltmo_defconfig file in addition to the msm8894_sec_l03leur_defconfig file in the 605.
Will do more comparisons over the next few days, but it does seem like there are more changes under the hood between the 605 and the 607T than one would expect. I really wish samsung would release the source for the 607t, but if you check that page, there is just one single KK code there and nothing else, so it does not seem likely anytime soon

Ok,I found a solution.
You need to remove SecurityLogAgent

Re,
Ok remove SecurityLogAgent and folder Container it is ok...
But delete all other knox and Klm gives a problem with the playstor. (Certain protections cannot be erased)
Hey guys,
Great news around, especially with roms like Alan-B's. Thanks for sharing :good:.
Running 4.4, planning to update 5.x as soon as I'm sure I can run Linux Deploy (meaning the need of permissive kernel), though I can't find any intel about VTS (Virtual Terminal Support) enabled kernel. I've been looking for months a way to run framebuffered distros and looks like this is the solution.
I could try to make it myself but I have no experience in kernels, would someone mind give me a hand to get to this goal? At least give me a hint to "quickly" develop and try one, to see if it works and how well...
Don't even know if I'm looking the right way anymore, so thanks by advance for any help and again for the sharing :highfive:.

But when I reflash the firmware how can I set securestorage BEFORE installing permissive kernel as I don't have root to change build.prop?

You can't. Reflash, root, edit build.prop, reboot, set wifi password once again, reboot, it SHOULD be fine. If its not after this sequence, Im not sure what else may work. Every case of this particular problem that I've seen was resolved with this solution.
Luckily I didn't reflash yet. I checked again build.prop and securestorage was true. For some reason it didn't stick first time.
I edited it again and now WiFi works as intended. So I can say that this solution works. Great kernel.
