[Kernel] Deported / Stockish [AT&T Discussion] - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

This is the support thread for the AT&T variant of the StarKissed Note 4 kernel.
This kernel currently supports all North American carriers through the use of specialized release packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.
Kernel Development Thread:

Issues, Reports, & Configuration
Direct installation available via Flashify (for root users) - Android Apps on Google Play
Heimdall with the S5 patch is needed to flash from a computer. Odin cannot flash this kernel.
Additional information for AT&T variant:
Potentially Unavailable:
Potentially Unsafe:
Incomplete / Inactive:

The idea to have individual carrier discussion threads was a good idea, in theory. It allowed finding the kernel support thread without leaving the device section that was already being viewed.
Instead of making things easier, it was only more work retrieving the correct link for all of the posts that ended up in the development thread. This does not include many of the issues that were carrier independant and ended up spanning multiple discussion threads, including the development and building threads.
Rather than posting links at the risk of rude comments boycotting the minimal effort necessary, all discussion is being funneled into Issues, Reports, & Configuration.
It was a good run. Thanks for reading.

READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE POSTING
THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION IS FOR DEVELOPMENT ONLY. If you are posting something that others may use regarding development such as a new ROM, kernel, guide, mod, recovery, or tool, it will be posted there. If in doubt, just post in the general section. Our moderator will move the post if it should be in the development section. Please do not post questions/concerns in the Android Development section.
THE FAQ THREAD IS FOR YOUR COMMON OR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. If you are going to post a question about development, it goes in the Q&A thread of that project mainly in the General Section. If you have a question about accessories or themes/apps, post your question there if you like. If you have a question regarding a particular part of development such as a current ROM or kernel, you can post in that particular thread to see if you can get some help.DO NOT POST A NEW THREAD FOR A QUESTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION.
THE GENERAL SECTION IS FOR EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT FIT INTO THE OTHER CATEGORIES. If you have anything else that you would like to talk about that is not a question, accessory, theme/app, or method of development, you will want to post it in General. If you post a question in General (even though it should go in the FAQ Thread), you probably won't get yelled at. You will, though, if you post in the Development Section when you should not.
Please try to keep the development section clear and clean for the developers who will be giving us amazing ROMs and kernels to play with on our newly rooted/unlocked phones. This will make it much easier for us to find them in the future.

Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy Y is a smartphone approved for all audiences. Perhaps in hindsight, our Galaxy Note review should've been rated PG. But well yeah, we're always wiser in hindsight. Anyway, you don’t just wake up one morning wanting a superphone like the Note. You need a place to start.
The Samsung Galaxy Y is one little step above dumbphones. It won’t be long before you know how big this step really was. Android is friendly, especially in a package like the Galaxy Y, and highly addictive. And there's plenty to explore.
The Samsung Galaxy Y is most likely someone's first smartphone. It comes on the cheap so you don't have to ask yourself if you really need all the extra features. Soon enough, you'll be wondering how you could live without them.
And no, the Galaxy Y isn't full of the latest tech. It keeps things neat and simple at a very reasonable price. There's a good package of preinstalled apps and a full connectivity set. The reasonably fast processor and the very recent Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread are a bit of surprise. This is a basic smartphone but one that looks up-to-date.

What is Root, and Why Root?
The good thing about having root is you can go back if you want. The same is not true of not having root. We do not know what steps Google/Tmobile will take to rid the end users of root in the future. For all we know the next OTA will remove the keys that allows the RC29 downgrade method to work and you could be stuck on a non rooted G1 forever. If you have root and for some reason it does not work for you there is always the option of going back.
What Does Root Give Me?
1.Full control over your system
2.Ability to alter system files. You can replace many parts of the "Android Core" with this including:
-Themes
-Core apps (maps, calendar, clock etc)
-Recovery image
-Bootloader
-Toolbox (linux binary that lets you execute simple linux commands like "ls") can be replaced with Busybox (slightly better option)
-Boot images
-Add linux binaries
3.Run special apps that need more control over the system
-SuperUser (lets you approve or deny the use of root access to any program)
-Task Manager For Root (Lets you kill apps that you otherwise could not kill)
-Tether apps (like the one found at [android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com])
4.Backup your system
-You can make a folder on your sdcard and backup all of your .apk files to your sdcard (helps if an author decides to "upgrade" you to a version that requires you to pay to use the version you just had)
5.Relocate your (browser/maps/market) cache to your /sdcard
6.Relocate your installed applications to your /sdcard
7.Reboot your phone from the terminal app easily (su <enter> reboot <enter>)
What Do I Lose Having Root
-The ability to accept OTA updates (well, you can but you would lose root, so its been made so they get denied)
-The sense that someone else controls your phone
-The need to sit in an Android chat channel asking how to get root
-The need for a stupid useless "File Manager" that lets you see filenames but almost nothing else.
-The ability to have a knowledgeable conversation with a T-Mobile rep about your phone. (Ask one of them to spell root for you)

Here is a short tutorial(how to root) to save your time
1. Download the zip files to your SD Card (not in any folder).
2. Switch off your phone.
3. Boot into recovery mode(Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode).
4. Touch screen is disabled in recovery. Use Volume keys(UP/DOWN) for scrolling and home button to select the highlighted option.
5. Select Apply update for sdcard
6. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
7. Wait for it to show complete and then select reboot system.

Stock and Clockwork Mod Recovery
What is recovery?
In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A combination of key presses (Home+Volume Up+Power Button for SGY) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install official OS updates. Because Android is open and has the recovery source code available, building a customized version with more and different options is relatively easy as well. Let's look at both options.
The stock recovery is pretty limited, but that's by design. Its main purpose is to delete all user data and files, or to perform system updates. Normally, both these operations are started from the running Android system, or you can do things manually and boot right into recovery yourself. When you tell your phone to do a factory reset, recovery is what boots up and erases the files and data. Likewise with updates -- when we restart to install an official OS update, it's done in recovery. Recovery is also where we go to manually install official OS updates we've downloaded from the Internet. It's very useful, but limited.
Clockwork Mod or Custom Android recoveries offer much more. They have been coded to allow for backup and restore functions, selective deletion of data so you don't have to wipe everything, and modified to allow update packages that have not been digitally signed by official sources. You also can mount various partitions so that you can copy files to the SD card without having to remove it or reboot into Android. Anytime you see someone mentioning Clockwork or Amon Ra, they're talking about custom recoveries. Because of the extra functionality built in, they are a pretty important tool for folks who want to hack their Android phone or tablet. Recoveries aren't as pretty as a custom ROM and don't get the same love from users and bloggers that custom builds of Android do, but in the end they're even more important. Without them none of this custom ROM stuff would be possible.

Nandroid Backup
In case you are not quite tech savvy and have been hearing the term “Nandroid backup”, you probably must be getting confused and perplexed even more. Well, in a simpler term, Nandroid backup is a highly convenient back up option, which very carefully backs up the systems complete internal memory along with all the related apps, ROM, and other correlated features. You also can very conveniently restore it just in case you come across a destructed ROM, or kernel, etc.
This backup is actually not similar to other apps such as the titanium backup and in fact has a completely different system and well equipped. If you take the backup at the right time then it can be a complete savior for you, saving your important data from getting lost or damaged. This is basically the back up system of the Android OS (operating system) from the NAND memory of the phone and this gets saved in the storage card slot.
This is the reason why it is generally suggested to have your phone’s proper NAND backup just before you even think of flashing inside a new ROM. This step is important and must be completely followed as because, if something goes wrong, the phone can move back to the previous working condition.
Just before you start off with the restore or the Nandroid backup process, remember that it is important for you to root up your phone, and get the Clockwork Recovery installed. Make a note that, the backup for this entire process moves to the SD card, and this is the reason why the SD card must have enough free space so that the phone’s entire contents of the phone memory get restored.
One of the safest, easiest and most convenient ways of performing the Nandroid backup is by systematically utilizing the ROM manager. This is basically a free Android App, which can be easily downloaded from the Android Market. One can use it while running over Android to schedule operations so as to perform it in recovery.
It also offers a GUI through which one can easily install ROMs and at the same time perform, manage and restore the backups. This does not by itself, exercises the procedure, and rather reboots the device into recovery, soon after the action had been timely scheduled, finally automatically performing it through the recovery.
Hence, the Nandroid backup is nothing but the duplicate copy of your phone. Just in case you are clear with ideas such as cloning or creation of ghost image of the computer hard drive, then this is just a similar operation like that. It is not just having the complete back up of your entire email and contact list, but at the same time having an entire copy of everything.

Stock and Custom ROMS
A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.
A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.
So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.
Why You Want Custom ROMs?
Update Frequency
Using a custom ROM usually results in more frequent updates that fix bugs and introduce new features because the developer behind the ROM doesn't have the same procedures and red tape that the manufacturer+carrier combo does.
-A quality update can be churned faster because it doesn't involve the bureaucracy of 30 different project managers, 15 vice presidents, and 5 dozen marketing departments.
-A ROM developer usually gains a loyal community which beta tests his updates in real life situations and provide feedback, or even fixes bugs - that's the beauty of open source software.
-Finally, most custom ROMs out there are updateable over the air (OTA) and without reinstalling anything.
Who doesn't love open source after this?
Better Performance And Efficiency
Custom ROMs are oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because
-the developer ripped out useless garbage, such as carrier installed apps or
-the developer optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.
Ability To Install Apps To The SD Card
Most custom ROMs nowadays come with the ability to install applications to the SD card, called Apps2SD (or A2SD).
This is currently not possible on stock ROMs, even in Android 2.1 and is supposedly on Google's TODO list.
If you have run out of space on your phone (which I have repeatedly on my Hero), Apps2SD is a killer feature to have.
The Downsides Of Custom ROMs
Of course, there are dangers of using custom ROMs which you should be aware of.
Something Could Go Wrong
First of all, something may go wrong with the flashing process (that's the process of installing the ROM) and leave your phone in a bricked state. The chances of this are pretty low nowadays, and most of the time you can restore it back to normal.
Try to go for the ROM that has been tested by time and has lots of positive feedback.
Clean Wipe
In order to install a custom ROM, you need to perform a clean wipe.
Potential Problems
Custom ROMs could have bugs… but then so do the stock ones.
However, in case you do find a bug, you actually have a 2-way channel of reporting it - post in the ROM forum and you will more than likely get an answer back and your bug acknowledged.
Try doing this to your phone manufacturer and see if you can get past the first level of outsourced monkeys, let alone actual developers.

Remove Sim Lock [Openline SGY]
What is SIM-LOCK?
Sim-lock, SP-lock, “coding” - all these words have similar meaning: a programmed limit in the phone to work with a single network. A sim lock allows a network provider to prevent handsets from being used on other GSM networks. Usually those handsets are sold with a discount, and the provider covers the price difference. The handset stays inside the same network and within a year pays back the expenses of the service provider.
SIM-LOCK could be installed by the manufacturing or distributing company. The network provider orders some quantity of handsets from manufacturer. The producing company supplies the phones along with the SIM-LOCK removing codes. The physical sense of Sim-lock: there is a unique MCC/NCC code of the country and network saved in the SIM-Card. Phone detects those codes when it's powered on. If they have coincided, the telephone works normally, other ways on display appears the following massage: “Invalid SIM” or “Enter the SIM-Lock code”. There are some other methods of coding the handsets, but the considered above – is the most widespread.
How legal is to remove a sim lock ?
The legality of the SIM-Lock removing procedure depends on the law of the country. Some countries don't have a strict law that directly forbids this act. It could be declared as “An invasion into informative technologies”. But from another side, the person that bought the phone is allowed to do with it everything. For example: if you have a TV that supports only one standard of the incoming signal. Nobody can take you to the court if you will install a multi system receiver on it. You can modify it in the way you like. The only thing you will lose is warranty cover. It could be explained in different way, depends on the lawyer.
It gets a different sense when it comes to the illegal export of the mobile devices. They could come legally only from the manufacturers or the official distributors.
Off course GSM service providers are loosing the profits, when the handsets, sold by the 10% of the original price, are crossing the networks.

SpreadSheet By Kurotsugi
What is a kernel?
If you spend any time reading Android forums, blogs, how-to posts or online discussion you'll soon hear people talking about the kernel. A kernel isn't something unique to Android -- iOS and MacOS have one, Windows has one, BlackBerry's QNX has one, in fact all high level operating systems have one. The one we're interested in is Linux, as it's the one Android uses. Let's try to break down what it is and what it does.
Android devices use the Linux kernel, but it's not the exact same kernel other Linux-based operating systems use. There's a lot of Android specific code built in, and Google's Android kernel maintainers have their work cut out for them. OEMs have to contribute as well, because they need to develop hardware drivers for the parts they're using for the kernel version they're using. This is why it takes a while for independent Android developers and hackers to port new versions to older devices and get everything working. Drivers written to work with the Gingerbread kernel on a phone won't necessarily work with the Ice Cream Sandwich kernel. And that's important, because one of the kernel's main functions is to control the hardware. It's a whole lot of source code, with more options while building it than you can imagine, but in the end it's just the intermediary between the hardware and the software.
When software needs the hardware to do anything, it sends a request to the kernel. And when we say anything, we mean anything. From the brightness of the screen, to the volume level, to initiating a call through the radio, even what's drawn on the display is ultimately controlled by the kernel. For example -- when you tap the search button on your phone, you tell the software to open the search application. What happens is that you touched a certain point on the digitizer, which tells the software that you've touched the screen at those coordinates. The software knows that when that particular spot is touched, the search dialog is supposed to open. The kernel is what tells the digitizer to look (or listen, events are "listened" for) for touches, helps figure out where you touched, and tells the system you touched it. In turn, when the system receives a touch event at a specific point from the kernel (through the driver) it knows what to draw on your screen. Both the hardware and the software communicate both ways with the kernel, and that's how your phone knows when to do something. Input from one side is sent as output to the other, whether it's you playing Angry Birds, or connecting to your car's Bluetooth.
It sounds complicated, and it is. But it's also pretty standard computer logic -- there's an action of some sort generated for every event. Without the kernel to accept and send information, developers would have to write code for every single event for every single piece of hardware in your device. With the kernel, all they have to do is communicate with it through the Android system API's, and hardware developers only have to make the device hardware communicate with the kernel. The good thing is that you don't need to know exactly how or why the kernel does what it does, just understanding that it's the go-between from software to hardware gives you a pretty good grasp of what's happening under the glass. Sort of gives a whole new outlook towards those fellows who stay up all night to work on kernels for your phone, doesn't it?

[Kernel] Deported / Stockish [Verizon Discussion]

This is the support thread for the Verizon variant of the StarKissed Note 4 kernel.
This kernel currently supports all North American carriers through the use of specialized release packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.
Kernel Development Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2915824
Issues, Reports, & Configuration
Direct installation available via Flashify (for root users) - Android Apps on Google Play
Heimdall with the S5 patch is needed to flash from a computer. Odin cannot flash this kernel.
Additional information for Verizon variant:
Potentially Unavailable:
Potentially Unsafe:
Incomplete / Inactive:
The idea to have individual carrier discussion threads was a good idea, in theory. It allowed finding the kernel support thread without leaving the device section that was already being viewed.
Instead of making things easier, it was only more work retrieving the correct link for all of the posts that ended up in the development thread. This does not include many of the issues that were carrier independant and ended up spanning multiple discussion threads, including the development and building threads.
Rather than posting links at the risk of rude comments boycotting the minimal effort necessary, all discussion is being funneled into Issues, Reports, & Configuration.
It was a good run. Thanks for reading.

petition for jiayu to publish repositories

Dear Jiayu S3 hardware/software development department,
First of all, thanks for making the marvelous Jiayu S3 device and
providing software updates.
There is an enthusiastic XDA community dedicated to the Jiayu S3 with
'tag' jiayu-s3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/jiayu-s3
This thread named 'petition for jiayu to publish repositories' is
created to ask you if you can make an agreement with Jiayu
management to make source code repository for kernel source available,
and, to ask you if you can also make the necessary vendor and device
repositories available for building firmware (especially custom
firmware such as e.g. cyanogenmod and aosp).
Please, if these repositories can be made available, also include
necessary patches and instructions to build kernel and firmware
e.g. cyanogenmod and aosp.
Other vendors have contributed to better linux kernel and android
firmware that way and we would be proud if we can say Jiayu does the
same. Especially for the new 64 bit architecture starting with
Lollipop.
Looking forward to positive response.
It seems this thread has outlived its usefulness, as I just deleted 25 garbage posts by forum users that should know better than to spam a thread. Be glad I don't have the time or patience to dole out infractions to every person that posted here. On that note........

why so less development in our device Oneplus 7t.

I want to know why there is so less development regarding ROM development in our device

Device didn't sell well. Not many developers have the device / don't want to develop for it.
Also this thread is posted in the wrong section. This belongs in the guides, news, and discussion forum.

Blame Google with Android 10, it's not only our device plenty of devices that are shipped with Android 10 are going through the same thing. Not many developers are gonna risk getting the 7t because of this situation so Yea it's gonna take awhile.
Blame oneplus for screwing up decryption yes Android 10 is an issue but the decryption issue that OnePlus has messed up is more the issue. No proper working twrp no easy way to flash no point in building for something that is a pita to work with . There might be hope if OnePlus stick to their word and fix it in next OTA
Flashing procedure is well very complicated with no twrp. So almost no one bothered.

It's not complicated at all, and no twrp it not the reason for lack of development.
If the rom builder builds the rom correctly you can easily flash with just 2 commands. If not, just copy paste some commands and you're done.
People in the developer program got the 7T Pro and there aren't enough people who owns this device with enough resources to build custom roms.
