(Noob) How to modify a kernel to work with a newer version of android - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello
Currently, I have an old eviant 7 laying around. It's a tablet with an allwinner a23.
I don't need the kernel sources, but I need some help.
I want to try and build Android m, n or o for this hunk of junk. I know how to compile an Android custom rom and know how to compile kernels but this is where I need your help.
This tablet uses the 3.4 Linux kernel. Is there anything in the kernel source I need to modify to make it work with something newer than Android 4.1.2?
Thanks,
SamTheGreat(noob)

[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?

[Q] How to build custom rom

Hi,
I would like to learn how to create my own custom ROM. Any reference you have on the topic would be great. I have successfully built my own kernel from source and have made a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516051
Now I would like to build my own custom ROM. I noticed that when I downloaded the kernel source code from Samsung it also included the platform source code. I have read somewhere that I wouldn't be able to compile the Stock ROM just because a lot of the stuff is proprietary (like touchwiz). If this is the case, how are developers including the proprietary stuff?
Is it possible to build stock ROM from source?
Are custom ROMs more about tweaking existing configurations and apps, as oppose to compiling from scratch?
Thanks for helping a noob. I really want to learn the stuff.

[Q] [DEV Help] How to make a Custom ROM Based on Stock .96(XAS)

Guys .. I'm trying to develop my own rom based on Stock Acro S (JB .96) however there are many tutorials that are not giving a good development base for me, because there tutorials for ICS and JB using different tools and OS ...
I already developed my own kernel (not unlike the Stock Cabatro's .96) because I cant founding something concrete also talking about adding the governors / schedulers and modifying the frequency tables ... (I need help on this too)
In general wish someone would give me a faithful way forward to make the Beta ROM (Stock .96) and Kernel version modified to provide to users on forum for testing...
Any help on this would be great
(I Can Develop that on Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.1)

[q] vzw vk810 roms?

I am very interested in getting CM11 or Mahdi onto the Verizon version of the G Pad. I have no experience compiling code for Android and haven't compiled a Linux kernel in ages. Can someone point me to any how-tos on compiling ROMS? What needs to happen to make a ROM work on the VK810?
idk
I don't know but I would love one. I like the tablet, but I can't stand the skin.
Here is a very good tutorial > http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Development
once I (or someone else) brings up the cm11 devicetree for the vk810, then you can usually take the devicetree+kernel+proprietary libs, and build for any ROM that has open sources...

Building my first kernel.

Could someone help me to build a kernel for Cyanogenmod 12 but I need help because I didn't do stuff like this before.Since the developement has stopped for KitKat I would like to maintain it and keep it updated. I have a little knowledge but I still need help. I would like to use UBERtc to compile my kernel.
