Dell Venue 8 (3830) Kernel source - Dell Venue

KitKat kernel source for 3830 is available on Dell's open source site.
http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3730_CloverTrail_plus/
For some reason dell uploaded 3830 kitkat kernel source to 3730 folder, none the less the source is for 3830. The source has no information on how to compile it, some info found in source isn't correct.
The source does compile a working kernel, it took me two days 20 compiles to figure everything out. I use the built kernel as a daily driver.
The built kernel is fast and smooth, seems better than the kernel that dell included with kitkat upgrade.
Anyway good luck.

Could you please upload the compiled kernel .
I want to test it , though it's a while since the thread was out there .

You are about two years too late, if the source is still available you can build your own, if not you are out of luck, I got rid of that tablet a longtime ago.

Thks for the link, aparently all source files are online at link, i found the “A195/dell_venue_kernel.tgz". I'll try to follow the tutorial in "OSS_A195.pdf" and build the kernel when i'm vacations.
But,
why has nobody tried to compile a new rom? do we need something else?

Knock yourself out, most of us don't have this tablet anymore.

Newbie Dev: Building Android from Scratch for new Device (AOKP, Ainol)

I have had experiences with gentoo and wish to try my hands at developing my own AOKP rom for a chinese tablet that is unsupported.
I am currently syncing my repo and wish to understand more before I proceed.
What will be the easiest way to get Android running if I compile AOKP? Given that the tablet runs ICS at the moment, will it work if I compile AOKP and port the existing kernel over?
I have also gotten my hands on the source codes for the tablet.
Do you have a device tree?
If not, first you should create one.
Then only you can compile android.

I highly doubt that there is an existing device tree. Now comes the noob question: How can I check if there is an existing device tree???
Anyway, I have been extensively reading up on building android and gotten the AOKP sources and original manufacturer source. Am I right to say that as long as I can compile AOKP, I should be able to boot using an existing kernel??
As for the the two sources, should I copy over the original devices and hardware folder to the AOKP source before I build so as to ensure a compatible build???

No it is not right to say. While it is possible you will probably need to do extensive debugging along the way.

Depends on what source you are talking about. What source do you have exactly?
You could try my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935162

Looking for someone with a working build environment

Hello xda folks,
some months ago I got myself an i9300 and as a tech geek, one of the first things I did was installing a custom ROM. Since then I've been trying various ROMs and meanwhile I'm somewhat addicted to CM based / AOSP and AOKP ROMs.
The ROM that best fits my demands is LiquidSmooth (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264782). However, I don't want to use my device without OpenPDroid (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098156) installed on it.
There's a tool called AutoPatcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098156), unfortunately it is only working for a few ROMs, for LiquidSmooth, it isn't. That's why I've got the following concern.
I'm looking for someone who is running a working build environment and is willing to build LiquidSmooth with integrated OpenPDroid from source for me. I do not have the knowledge to set up such an environment by myself, so hopefully, there's a helping hand somewhere across these forums.
Thank you guys!

A reply after TWO minutes!? Awesome, thank you!
Okay, so what do you need?
(I am not able to post outside links yet, so sorry for the scrambling...)
If I get it right, the source for LiquidSmooth is available here: github[dot]com/LiquidSmooth
According to the LS thread, the kernel used is: github[dot]com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412
And the OpenPDroid patches are available here: github[dot]com/OpenPDroid/OpenPDroidPatches
The compiled ROM can be downloaded here: goo[dot]im/devs/liquidsmooth/
The server is awfully slow and at this very moment, not available at all, so if needed, I'm going to upload the .zip to my webspace. It is 120 MiB in size.
Thank you so much Wolf80 for your offer!

What about software binaries for Z Ultra? will Z1 do the job?
@jerpelea
Can you please share a bit more details about the precompiled kernel for other devices there at SonyXperiaDev's git is made from which sources?
So that by then we can compile a kernel.
I'll have a look tonight and see if there is anything I can try
I'm trying to build aosp 5 using z1 binaries from the sony dev site at the moment

I have been trying since almost one week.
Have been stuck at points i couldnt get past.
Lets hope this time something sweet comes :angel:
Many thanks jerpelea.
A device-sony-togari repository is referenced in the readme for the rhine common device tree, but It's not yet public. Can we expect this, along with togari specific binaries any time soon?

the kernel is precompiled from the kernel repo of the sonyxperiadev git. (latest 3.5 branch should be used for compiling).
May i suggest adding "5.0" or "lollipop" to the thread title?

Yeah, that would draw some extra attention. Maybe a mod can add it?
you can use honami blobs but kernel and dts have to be recompiled from unified kernel source
kernel is same unified kernel and has all configs for togari
please be patient and we will add new devices soon

Ok... building kernel right now... let's see

Thanks for the hard work. AOSP id my daily at the moment, only real bug seems to be that cores 1-3 don't go off line (it is using CM's kernel at the moment as the AOSP one had more bugs I think)

If I remember right cm12 kernel didn't boot at all.

im working on it as a hobby on my free time
soo it wont be opertional anytime soon
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft/commits/26.3.A.1.xxx
there's kernel repo for AOSP and opensource ROMs (https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel)
and kernel-copyleft for Sony's "Stock" ROMs (https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft) ,
for additional drivers (e.g. FM/Bluetooth, etc.) you'll need the opensource driver tarball from https://developer.sonymobile.com/do...n-source-archive-for-26-3-a-1-33-26-3-b-1-33/

3g ram can't use foxy kernel

:crying::crying:mipad with 3gram can't run foxy kernel in los 14.1and los13,but remix os(jide co ltd)could run well
i think it is on kernel configs and stuff, modifying the kernel to support 3gb ram will help you, try asking the developer of foxy kernel about it.
2.3的内核支持了,作者关闭了zram,估计是这个东西的问题。
Hi, there's a guide on how to upgrade RAM? Is the new module still avaiable on online store? also for those who are out of china?
I've done a rapid search but found nothing.
FOXY-2.3以后的内核都能使用了

I wish I would have know a little bit of Chinese
Can you ask him from which device he ported it or how he built it?
It will be very helpful if he can join MiPad development now since Kernel source is out.
Thank You
