Hey guys!
As you maybe know, we have the newest Android 4.4 but only a 3.0 Kernel. But we need the newer versions since Android is based of this new ones and if the gap between our version and Google's version is too big, it will take a long time to reach this. So i would say: "We need a newer kernel, let's go for it!" and i wanted to know if anybody is willing or if somebody is even able to port the 3.4 (or a newer version like 3.10 or 3.12) to our device to get better performance and to be safe to get all updates. If anybody is able and wants to help, please write it here or PM me. Also we should form a dev team to have the control over this project.
So if anybody is willing to, I will really appreciate it. I start this project on my own and you can join in to help and contribute your knowledge to this project. I will provide more info if needed. And yes, I know that it will be difficult but it is possible to reach the target.
Greets and best regards,
markey
If you want, have a look over here:Thread in development discussion section
Edit1: As i've seen in the poll, everybody (till now) wants the 3.4 kernel to be ported. So I have another question: Do you want me to port the 3.10 (or higher) Kernel also, after the 3.4 is running stable?
If yes, just write at the end of your post. Thanks. :good:
Edit2: I have decided to start porting the 3.1x+ Kernel based on dorimanx' sources first and then will try to port 3.4 cause 3.4 will have a better ability to be well integrated into Android till now and 3.10+ will take us one step further and keep us on track for the next Android versions which will be propably based on 3.8 or 3.10 Kernel.
If you have questions what this upgrade will (roughly) bring us, have a look at my last post in this thread.
This is great. It will be HARD, but, worth it. Just, maybe, this will see completion one day. I'll copy in kernel devs if I were you.

Stunning idea! I just wish I already had the knowledge and the time to help, but I really hope this takes off!
edit. go for 3.10-3.12 of course, the Sky's the limit, but 3.4 is a good stopgap as it runs on similar Samsung-devices ...
Someone could try merging dorimanx smdk4210 (s2) Kernel. He has already merged most of 3.13, and our s3 kernel is also working for s2, after cm had merged some parts.

Thank you for that great info DerTeufel, I will see when I can start to merge it and work on it. So it would mean, we could directly start at 3.13. Isn't that great? I will search for his git, and then i will compare our actual kernels with a 3.0 s2 kernel and see what i have to change. Most difficult part will be to get it booting...rest shouldn't be a thing that big. Let's wait and see.

No its no stupid question, just ask if you want to know anything. You're welcome and i am here to answer questions :good:
And now to your question: For now, its meant to run on AOSP ROMs and then afterwards, I will take a deeper look and see if I can get it running good on Sammy, so just wait a bit
And I think I will add features of googy-max kernel, devil-kernel, boeffla-kernel...whatever you want, just write it then when its running fine, and i will try to add it.
I also already thought about adding dual-boot, so yes, you will most likely see Sammy support in this kernel. And afterwards, I will try to make it a kexec kernel and get multiROM or sth like this running, to have e.g. Android and Ubuntu Touch on 1 single device

Haha I know, I own this device myself and followed all developement of the 3.4 Kernel and all other work done by ADC team. :good: They used CAF sources but we will use sources from dorimanx cause we have an exynos processor.
Erik is a good dev, isn't he? Thanks to him we also got dual boot and I think we can also get further versions of Android thanks to ADC team.
Well, we will see how good I can get this working in a short time.

Porting a new linux kernel to a device is not simple. It brings a lot of stability issues if the kernel version is too new, and so most developers stick with a LTS release such as v3.4.104. Most s2 kernels are at kernel version 3.0.101 because it is found to be stable, and so they stick with the mentality that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

I really love your kernel and you are the new kernel master of i9100 now for me. Then why don't you use v3.4.104? My friend's phone is s4 mini and he is using a v3.4.x.x kernel. I think it is stable to use

1. Some pros of updating Linux kernel could include increased speed and security (since 3.0.101 kernels are not updated anymore) .
2. I guess you didn't see my Sig? Noppy already linked my dorimanx lp kernel thread. Yes, it works perfectly with cm12.1, however doesn't work yet on other roms like paranoid android and slimlp.

UPDATE: BUILDING BOTH ZNH2K/ZNH5Y.This ROM is for people using CM nightlies and snapshot builds. There are no features added or removed. It is pure CM. The ROM source is from the ZNH2K/ZNH5Y stable branch. ZNH2K/ZNH5Y is behind the nightlies and ahead of snapshot source. The ZNH5Y branch is newer code than ZNH2K but both are CM stable branches. Everything just works. The kernel is synced from nightly source. I build both ROM and kernel using Uber Toolchain 4.9.4 for smoothness and its optimizations over the stock toolchains. There is nothing fancy going on here. Just a solid CM build with great battery for the OnePlus One. I build this for my personal use and thought there might be some other users that would enjoy it. I will also say I am new to this and still learning. I test every build myself before release. If someone encounters a bug I didn't find chances are it comes from CM and will be fixed when they fix it.
DO NOT DIRTY FLASH FROM ZNH5Y TO ZNH2K. DIRTY FLASH FROM ZNH2K TO ZNH5Y IS FINE.

You can't disable it with CyanogenMod. Some roms have added the feature to disable. It always shows if you have a root app open.

Thanks for the consideration. I do agree with you ROM being as close to CM. But things like superuser indicator and network activity indicators force us to use xposed which makes the ROM unstable. If u could add them we can avoid xposed.
Just a suggestion, u can add useful features like disable fc, network activity indicators, disable su indicator which helps lot of users avoid using xposed.
@Brian325
Force close when trying to restrict data and WiFi usage for system apps. Nightlies don't have this . They have pushed a commit to hide these settings for system. If possible please add it.
Rest all perfect..
After compiling roms for a couple devices and learning about the android rom, i have decided to dabble in the arts
of kernel compiling, i started with my main device the Nexus 6p, learnt a fair bit compiling kernels for it, so i decided to
come back to this device for testing purposes and trying to test and go back to ARM device which is completely different.
Now with the Nexus device i went full updated linux kernel first then gave updates, but this time ill be doing something a little
different, i will upstream some kernel updates, plus caf updates then i will give a release, or for example, the first realease i will
give you guys will be 3.4.2 kernel version, just to get things going, then next release will be a higher version.
I hope all of you like it i will be adding alot of stuff in the coming months.
All releases will keep up to date and working with latest CM roms

Ok so stock stock kernel you get with stock rom or even custom like CyanogenMod/lineageos has a kernel version of 3.4, each incremental update after that eg 3.4.1 or even 3.4.100 has many fixes and updates within the kernel, some do nothing for our device but others can, a small code change in one file can impact the way the kernel works

Well I'm running latest lineageos and I have never had it reboot on me. Are you using any kernel manager apps at all, as I haven't been able to add and customisation to it just it. It may panic because it's reaching for something it doesn't have
No reboots here either,
Im running the latest official Lineage .
if u have kernel mod or any other kernel tuner installed try to go back to your basic settings or just delete the app and install it again after your first boot.
Really smooth kernel !
Hi... Can you had the savoca Patch to use with Wheatstone.apk? Can use my phone without it

The goal here is both is to play with features which could be later be backported to official kernels, but also ones that probably shouldn't (like fast charging).
I'm basing my work on some existing kernels, but putting a little tuning here and there and making available via anykernel (3, currently) zippable installers. Currently there's only one maintaned branch, for LineageOS 17.1 and derivatives (success reports comes from LoS 15.1 to Non-LOS based roms, YMMV).
Contributors and testers are always welcome.
Due credit to karthik km for his miracledroid kernel and nicknitewolf for his kernel, rom and all his contributions in having our wt88047 devices up-to-date.

You'd have to try. If it doesn't work, then you need to flash the rom again or extract the boot.img from the rom's zip and apply via fastboot.
