Kernel Source Useless?

view full story
linux-howto

http://forum.xda-developers.com – I'm genuinely curious if this big kernel source drop is going to be beneficial to us or not. I've heard two sides to the story: 1. "HTC b trollin' man, they drop source and release a new kernel..." 2. Devs can use the old kernel and fix the issues that HTC fixed, along with the other issues AOSP ROMs were having like sound and MMS. I have no idea what's going on, and I'm curious whether I should expect things to blow up here soon, or if this kernel source has been essentially useless. I'm generally unaware of how long it takes devs to pick apart the kernel code and utilize it. A (HowTos)

Guys, probably an obvious error so I apologise in advance - trying to install vmware player, and it needs the kernel-source to build drivers. I've gone out and downloaded kernel-source for my running kernel.

However it's complaining that the kernel-source (2.6.31.12-0.1) does not match the running kernel (2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop).

Hi all,

I have been looking around for quite a while as far as these n300 adapter and use with bcmwl kernels, however I'm having quite a bit of trouble installing the package.

Hi!

I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one).

I tried to follow this guide

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source

to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version.

I maintain a customized kernel, also I provide patches that you can use directly for major version of kernel source code, now I got a classic problem,

I developed the patch based on 3.7.8 kernel, as newer version 3.7.9 is out, I had to develop the patch for 3.7.9 as well, but how should I do this quickly?

Right now, I download the whole source code of 3.7.9, migrate the code to new version of ke

I have draft an email to Samsung Open Source to release the latest kernel source for Galaxy Note 2.

This time, they act fast and the kernel is released here: http://opensource.samsung.com/recept...rchValue=n7100

After I purchase the LTE version, I would start the kernel development :) Thanks.

[Release] OC EXT4 Kernel 11 weeks 4 days ago

OK, id like to start by saying I'M NOT A PER-SAY "DEV" With that out of the way here we go:

WHAT IS THIS? Well as the title says, it's a OC Kernel. I know what you're thinking, Req released a good OC kernel what is this nonsense? I just added more freqs to it really. Its Req0's msm7x27 kernel source i just did a few OC mods and added i think three frequencies.

I've recently built a kernel for my Intel i7 basically using this guide modified to build the 3.5 kernel with patches from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/.
