T-Mobile Note 3 Kernel & Platform Source Code <Download> - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Pulled the source code for the T-Mobile Note 3 from the Sammy website (Model #N900T).
Includes the kernel and platform source folders.
Download and play....or fix.....your choice.
Link is from Google Drive and can be downloaded below.

Cool. DL now. Hopefully can use this to figure out wifi-calling.

Finally, AOSP here we come

I thought source code was released back on October 4th?

It was released a while ago. I just didn't see it uploaded here and some of the stuff in the kernel and platform folders can be useful to people for tinkering or fixing so I uploaded.

do you need a linux box to build a rom and/or kernel or is it something that can be done just as well on a windows box?

if you know that it has nothing to do with this thread then why ask? And if your asking about a touchwiz 4.4 no one knows samsung usually takes forever to do this. For example they just started rolling out 4.3 for the note 2 so my guess would be about a year lol. And as for a AOSP KitKat...yet again no one knows btw never ask for ETA's

I downloaded this from Sammy a few weeks back, and I was struck by how little is there. Yes, the full kernel sources are there - though of course a lot of stuff is still hidden in binary firmware blobs (presumably the TIMA/KNOX interface falls in this category). What struck me though was how little *platform* stuff is there. Is anyone else surprised by this? I would've thought they built more of their work on open-source foundations, but maybe not.

Well you have to remember, 4.3 Samsung is 4.3 samsung. If you ever looked inside the apks, there is a ton of stuff not used. Reason that's so, it's more generic across devices.
The only real changes are drivers/libs. A lot of those get pulled from the device when building anyway.
As far as I've ever seen, an individual cannot build a lib. You cannot reverse engineer them. Nothing.
If the specific libs needed to make things work are not available, then they just won't work yet. It's that plain an simple. I've helped out a lot in source building threads.
I wish it was easier, but sadly it's not.

Yeah, I've done a lot of work administering standard linux machines and it's a completely different world. They may be using an open-source core OS, but it's clear that none of the vendors treat their development itself as a process that contributes to free software.
By libs, do you mean the kernel modules and/or binary firmware blobs that are needed to support different bits of hardware? Or actual system libraries? I guess in this case, both are frequently closed. I heard a couple months back that the Android lead engineer at Google actually stepped down over the issue of OEM-supplied firmware blobs - specifically how un-transparent the process is, and how it's hard to even get access to the binaries for distribution, let alone the source D:

I have 4.4.2 source. Github. Linux building environment. Now I'm making a stock ROM to upload to XDA. Anyone with time to explain how to do so. All info accepted (-_-).

I have an idea for future android dev

why couldn't we just develop an android base rom and then add the files for each type of phone/device separately. kinda like having a flavor of linux and just adding the drivers for your machine to the one you like ...I don't know if its possible ...but it really would make things a lot easier IMO
cm10.zip+SGS3.zip(drivers+kernel)=sgs3Rom
cm10.zip+SGS2.zip(drivers+kernel)=sgs2Rom
AOKP.zip+SGS3.zip(drivers+kernel)=sgs3Rom
and so on......
Probably bc not every manufacturer is so generous with hard ware and kernel source it'd be difficult to have universal like Roms it was tried I believe I forget which device possibly the us s3 or I'm just flat out wrong still a great idea though

If that was possible what's stopping people from building a custom phone like they do for computers

The problem is that with all the different manufacturers and different versions of Android. They also use different file systems and file paths. Also the addition of the different system partitions doesn't help this issue at all. As was said earlier, if windows 8 was ported, it may be possible.

AOSP ROM

I have been looking for an AOSP ROM for the SGH-T889, but I have not found one yet. Does anyone know of an AOSP build for the Note II?
I haven't found any, so I wanted to build my own. It seems like all that I need is to:
1) get the AOSP source from google
2) copy drivers from opensource.samsung.com/ (search for sgh-t889) into the AOSP tree.
3) build
4) install
Is this all that needs to be done? Or is there more that is needed to do this? I have built ASOP for Nexus S, but not for anything else.
im pretty sure it's more complicated than that. but again i don't know **** about that lol.
I wish I had some free time to try it out. Hopefully this weekend I can explore it more.

Unfortunately its not that easy to build AOSP ROMs for devices like these. Source from samsung may contain some drivers but not all of them since OEMs tend to hold some back. You would have to fix such problems which honestly is a headache. You would also need to build a working kernel.
If you want an AOSP ROM just get a Nexus because this is not a device for AOSP ROMs. You will lose the functionality of the s-pen or other features you liked when you got this device unless they are ported(which again, is a headache to do!).

After installing a couple of the N7100 roms (CM 10 and an AOKP versions), It seems like there are a few things that don't work so far like the camera and cell/data. I think the cell/data should be fixable since the Nexus 4 and the SGH-T889 use the same baseband (MDM9215)?

Added, but still no boot. You can DL in OP
the problem is that everything 4.2 related on aosp, cm, and on code aurora for qualcomm SoCs is all based on the msm8960. I played around a bit before I went out of town for the last 2 weeks. I posted some info that might be useful in the Skyrocket forums here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990891
I don't know if the issue is with the device repos, the kernel, or both, but as it is now, none of the msm8660 drivers/libs are getting compiled during the build (display, audio, bluetooth, among other stuff). Adding them in from a cm10.0 build also did not work. I'm also not sure if the current msm8660-common device repo or msm8660-common kernel repo is compatible with the current implementation of "ion" rather than pmem and ashmem. My best guess is that the device_samsung_msm8660-common, device_samsung_celox-common, device_samsung_skyrocket, and device_samsung_hercules all need some significant refactoring/hacking to get it inline with 4.2 and that's beyond my knowledge in this area. I also dont know if it might be possible to incorporate the device_qcom-common repo and trim redundant/conflicting code in those other repos, but like I was saying before, that repo currently just supports the msm8960.

What's the status now bro

Need help porting CM to Note 3. Need more developers.

Im working on porting CyanogenMod to the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I have the CM source code and I have been experimenting with all sorts of files and reading build and porting guides BUT to no avail.
Without the proper blobs, I have found this to be an impossible task.
Looking for a few people who are interested in giving me a hand doing this without the blobs.
^I had to clarify this just so everyone was on the same page.^

This new corporate sellout version of CyanogenMod sucks big time, throw all their community spirit out the window for the chance to profit off open source software. Sad state of affairs indeed, especially trying to lie and cheat devs into relicensing GPL software so they could sell it to third parties. What the heck CM team?

I really want Paranoid Android for this beast but CM is easier to build. Easier to build if I could figure it out that is

Actually omni pa pac aokp slim whatever rom type u prefer..
All we need is the proper blobs to be used .. The device tree from one rom to another don't differ much
That's the hard part .. cm will share once it works. That's for sure. .
Ofc we can hate on them for not sharing truth is if making this work was an intermediate level of difficulty we would already have aosp based on our phone ..

[TouchWiz-KitKat] Kernel Development Info

Since it appears I am the only one to build (working) kernels for the LEAKED kitkat touchwiz rom - I figured I would post some "helpfull hints" here.
I know people INSIST that kernels are either AOSP or TW - this is 100% UNTRUE - kernels are specific to the version of android - the sooner people accept this, the sooner we can get MORE KERNELS for the leak.
HINT: CM is NOT AOSP - CM IS CM
Source used was Samsung KitKat Source for the i9505g
Below is the STOCK defconfig file as pulled from the leaked kernel from samsung
WiFi Fix involves edits to the ROM, to the RAMDISK and to the source from the i9505g
<removed attachement as requested by CM members>
Thanks for all your help. We need someone with your knowledge to stick around. You are appreciated.

This isn't a kernel, it's merely a defconfig used to build the kernel.

Not to sound like an ass, but ask CM
their developers are requesting (in a not so nice way) I pull all my work, including the STOCK SAMSUNG DEFCONFIG file in the OP above.
I removed the attachment in the OP, as requested by 3 CM developers, as threats of legal action where made.
I qm sorry man. That sucks. Its a lost cause asking CM to help with TW so I guess ill be stuck waiting on tmo

A Touchwiz kernel kanged from a CM kernel. Thats ridiculous. The only time I ever heard of that was the devil dualboot on note 2

this is the best way to kill forum... sholudn't it ment to be here for sharing? and educational pourposes..?
you fixed the problem and have shared to everybody just to let all use it and this is the money with you get paid for..
this should be an hobby, not a sort of childish competition, or ment as a work..
forcing somebody to quit this way is very bad.. plus forcing to remove even stock samsung stuff that i and lots of other people, surely also out of xda, does have already on they're phone sounds really as an uncovered personal attack and plus we are all suffering for this as we can't use and try the very best and innovative kernel i've ever had on my phone!!!
i was about to start learning and maybe build a kernel in the future but sounds like no way i'm going to be into this..!!
anyway if you are going to develop again for your personal use please fil free to pm me or to to add me to a mailing list maybe
i'll pm you (again sorry) my mail, and please if i'm bothering you just tell me, i understand

I was told Steve from cm worked for Samsung and has rights to the file and I am to pull all kernels and related files ...or else legal action will be taken. They even claimed GPL violation for me posting the leaked kernel in a stand alone installer. Yes.. I am the one who posted it so I am the one required to post source ... So I pulled it...
This makes every ROM with a leaked kernel a violation as there is no source. But they only target me and my team.
Do I got your email address... Don't remember if I do or not.

They can't claim GPL violation on that. Thats just ridiculous

Yeah, it's petty stuff like this that drove me away from CM. It's a great rom, but they've forgotten where they came from.
TOUCHWIZ 4.4.2 kernel source is out for Note 3 http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SM-N9005
Maybe this can help with making a kernel for the S4?

Oh well, soon. I think the first S4 official 4.4.2 rom is supposed to be out by the end of this month based on that roadmap from before so we should get it soon

no
the card wasnt at /extSDcard but was at
mnt/media_rw/extsdcard or something like that - i dont remember the exact path, but I did post it in the past...
For those who cant "find" their external sd card
have a look here ==>
/mnt/media_rw/extSdCard
