[TouchWiz-KitKat] Kernel Development Info - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

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.

Franco kernel on Axi0m Crossbreed question

I have a semi noob question. Axi0m Crossbreed (and other Kang ROMs) has an over clock and under clock setting.
But so does the franco kernel updater.
My question is, which takes precedence? Or will they auto switch to match? I don't want to over clock using the Franco updater if the ROM will take precedence.
Also, similar question about Franco updater and volume plus. Will one take precedence or will they both increase volume?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I would think that both are making the same modification to your phone. Therefore changing one would affect the other. If in doubt, set both the same or only use one.
This question doesn't belong in the development section. It will probably get moved.

I figured it would go here since it's in reference to a ROM and kernel updater.

As I said, it pertains to a ROM and kernel. Sounds like a developmental question to me.

Why don't you try using a better rom while you're at it. Droid theory is just a kanger. There are plenty of roms by authors who create original work.

Better rom?? His ROM is sick. AOKP on top of 4.0.4... can't get much better than that. Battery life is the best!
Awesome way for everyone to avoid his question!
To the OP, it depends on which one is set at boot. Whatever one is set at boot will take precedence. However, if you have them both set on boot (this would be bad) you could have tremendous issues.
If you want to run the kernel stock (like Franco intended) then don't do anything and if you want to flash Milestone 2, do it through the app or manually and don't set anything and it will run stock OC'd speeds with the stock governor.

This is a direct port of cyanogenmod 10 for the n7100 source can be found here​
reserved...
one more just in case...
There is no way I could build on my PC it would take a week just to finish, by then we would be on CM 11, but yes this is a port of the n7100 CM10 nightly from today, the connection issues are because there is no modem I am sure, or at least not one that I can find, and I can't make it stick, and the sound is because it is set up for the n7100, that should be an easy fix that I will work on tonight.
Thinking about this, I'm not sure it will ever get cell network. Because there needs to be a compiled kernel with the Qualcomm modem enabled. And since this is the 7100 it doesn't have lte. So even with the correct ril files, it won't work.
We need an aosp kernel with Qualcomm modem support.
If someone wanted to look at the quicnyatt defconfig on cyanogenmod's site, you might get inside for the defconfig needed for the smdk4412
Also
Can I ask that we keep this thread to development purposes.
Please do not post OMG THIS IS AWESOME. That does nothing for helping.
If you have a development finding or fix, post it up. Otherwise please do not post.
Thanks.

Are the kernel modules similar for the Quincy as it has the Qualcomm S3 SOC and we have the Exynos? Would it not work to compile a kernel with the open source files from Sammy?
I may be way off on this, I am below a rookie at kernel compilation.

I am watching this one like a hawk, just earlier they said that they are testing an aosp kernel for the n7105 (international version with LTE). I already use the tw variant

The quincy has the old snapdragon 1.5, it does not have the new msm8960 as the S3's do. Also its not about modules. I've downloaded source and its pretty horrible, as most Samsung crap is.
Compiling a kernel would work from sources, it just has to support aosp, since CM uses its own ramdisk too.

I am all for pure AOSP I just don't know how to do much. I am happy to help test but that is about the extent of capabilities right now. I love my stylus but don't need all the stylus "shortcuts". I ran AOSP on my note one and the stylus worked great even did good for the harder you pressed on the stylus the darker it would write. The only thing I lost were all the button and shortcuts integrated with touchwiz. I used papyrus as my snote/smemo replacement and actually prefer it over the Samsung crap that lost my memos every time I flashed anything.

All I want is AOSP, maybe a little Paranoid Android. S-Pen lost it's novelty for me after a couple of hours. I also must have misread the kernel post. NEAK only has a Sammy kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app
Yeah, I'll chime-in, too. Only thing I'm missing on this phone is AOSP ROM's. TouchWiz is TouchJiz. Specific features or not, AOSP is where it's at, and I would seriously consider returning this device if AOSP development was to do anything on the lines of cease. Frankly, it's killing me that there hasn't been more AOSP dev'ing up to this point. Devs are all we end-users have, and believe me, if I had any talent in that realm, I'd be offering my limbs towards development. Only thing, is I'm merely a user. I will test anything I'm able to, though! My precious phablet is my personal lab rat! Hehe...

There is no firmware in /system/etc. The only firmware is vendor/firmware.
And isn't ro.telephony back from gingerbread? Or is than an aosp thing? Its not in stock Samsung firmware.
Also even with those correct, we still don't have a kernel with Qualcomm modem support. So until we get that. Its dead in the water.
Your better off trying the 7100 rom on the 317. Since we already have a supported kernel.
Also remember DEVELOPMENT ONLY. Ask yourself. Will this aid in the development of this rom before posting!

Quincyatt won't be useful. There's a HUGE difference between a complete integrated Qualcomm SoC such as found in the quincyatt and d2 family, and a Qualcomm modem hung off of the Exynos4.
So far, no one has yet to figure out the proper defconfig for this. Although probably you could get it by looking at the Perseus N7105 defconfig.
Looks like CONFIG_QC_MODEM might do the trick?

I care! 1000%! I've never used that crappy pen. AOSP is the only thing I care about.
I am also all for aosp just let me know how to help. What we've tried already is replacing the entire vendor and csc and build.prop from i317 and dropping into a n71xx ROM and flashing. In addition have tried a large number of random RIL associated files from i317 into n71xx ROM and still no dice with the modem. Have made sure that no modem or kernel are being flashed while doing this. Logcat -b radio still spits out RIL related crap. I don't know enough about kernels to mess with defconfig unfortunately but I'm willing to help however I can. Fwiw replacing vendor/CSC/build.prop was enough to get a sprint note 2 ROM to work on T-Mobile thanks to someone who did that already.
My time is limited but let me know if some of you guys want to chat about this together on irc or something. I'm on freenode a few days a week after 9pm EST.
Edit: I should clarify all the things above that we tested (lpsi2000 and I) were TW based ROMs but getting the modem to fire up in whichever sense when porting things from n71xx I would guess should apply.
Thanks Entropy for pointing out that. I have to add kernel to my long list of things to learn more about in detail.

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?

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 ..

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.

i wish i knew HOW to tinker with this! lol
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

Pulled the source code for the T-Mobile Note 3 from the Sammy website (Model #N900T).
Includes the kernel and platform source folders.

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.
Is becoming more TizenOS with each new phone if you ask me

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 (-_-).

Looking for a dev to update AOSP Kernel for E980 - $$ Offered

We are looking for a developer to keep our kernel updated from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51770516
The source is on the OP.. Credit to @uppon2 for finding and posting the kernel and @mcaserg for developing it (believe he changed devices and isn't maintaining it anymore).
We are offering a bounty for development.. So far it is up to $100 - I will update if more pledges are made.
$50 - @nerdyblonde
$50 - @hopsin4444
This is the only known AOSP kernel for our device, and it is outdated and most reported it isn't working too well with 4.4.2. Even though our device is awesome, it doesn't have the publicity it deserves nor the developers. I am trying to learn, but it will take some time since I have never developed for Android before. Thanks all!

I know you can modify it from the XDA app. Edit the OP and change the title, there.

Basically all the features our outdated custom kernel has. And gpu votage control would be nice. i cant think of anything else its missing.
Alright, im no kernel wiz by any means but i know my way around well enough. ill grab source tonight and begin work. might take me a bit as its my wifes phone but should be able to make a slightly better aosp kernel at the very least for yall

Thanks man you are a life-saver.
We the OGP community welcomes you with open arms and hope to get some creative work out of you.

Sorry for the delay, had a busy weekend. anyways here is the latest cm source, nothing is changed this is purely to make sure i have my enviroment setup and i can make booting kernels. if someone could be so kind as to test this then i can begin work on merging features over. please be sure to do a backup
keep in mind this is from e980 cm kernel sources, im not aware of what devices/variants this will boot on or face issues with.

is it working? booting? wifi? bluetooth?
Downloading as we speak. Will backup and test it on the latest slimkat

Doesn't go further than that.
Wow I just seen this.. Thanks ALOT!! Just PM me after all is done and working, and I'll send my donation, and let the others know to send it as well.. Thanks again!
