I have never built a android kernel, but if anyone could post some info about which source to get, how to build and in general what mods need to be made to get to run on fire?
Thanks

[Q] Looking for Kernel Dev info

Wondering if anyone has any resources they could point me to that would help me learn how to develop a Kernel. Nothing too crazy, but i want to pull out the new Kernel from the Gingerbread sense leak and add SBC (however, i am thinking i may need to wait for the official release / code drop but still interested in this info regardless).
I am pretty good at understanding all this stuff, i just dont know where to even start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Request] Stock N2E Kernel

Hi, could someone upload the stock N2E kernel? I would like to tinker around with building my own kernel but I cannot figure out how to extract it from a running N2E.
P.S. I've already tried /proc/config.gz and /boot/config-...blah blah and have had no luck.
The source code is available here :
NOOK 1.0 OSS Release
NOOK 1.0.1 OSS Release
One of my frustrations with rooting my nook is I do not ahve a clean rom in case I need to return it to B&N. Is there anyway I could use source code to load a clean rom and undo the rooting?

Build from source

Hi guys and girls,
I want to experiment with building ROMs just for educational means. BUT, I have no experience in developing whatsoever . For instance I want to build a rom from Lord Clockan's source but where do I start? Can someone help setting things up from scratch/point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
The only ROMs built from source are CM and AOKP, everything else is just modified stock (which you can't build).
With that in mind, read this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_(GSM):_Compile_CyanogenMod_9_(Linux)
Wrong phone, but it's step by step.

So how could I use their work for building a ROM?
Well if it's a CM based ROM, you would need to get the CM source, then use local_manifest to bring in others repos when you sync.

Flashable kernel zips

I've been looking around and can't seem to find any. I wanted to try to use Hashcode's kernel with the SGT7 ROM but I don't see any way that would be possible.
You need a custom recovery first. I'd advise you to read the FAQ sticky listed in this forum, it should help get you started. And whenever you're ready to download that rom, the links to the zips are in the development thread associated with the ROM you'd want to flash.
I think they already have one. Fortunately the SGT7 rom uses hashcode's kernel. Unfortunately, you are talking about the 3.4.y, that is highly experimental and Hash only wants the more experienced people to mess with it, so as of now there is no flashable kernel for 3.4.y. If you are talking about the current 3.0 kernel then im also afraid you are out of luck on that too. There isnt one.
