[DEV][PORTING]Linux 3.4.x/3.10.x/3.12.x Kernel for I9300
- Thread starter markey97
- Start date
Just asking out of ignorance. Is this even possible without Samsung's help? And how would the latest linux kernel benefit performance of the phone and in what way?

I have started updating my kernel to 3.4 meanwhile. It's a wip since I am committing every single commit of the most important sub systems by hand. Maybe further updates are going to be easier, as the conflicts with Samsung source are already fixed then.
If you want to see a difference in performance (if any), you can try my kernel from my thread. First the one in the op (not much 3.4 stuff) and then the one from the end of my thread (much more 3.4)

I just love the f2fs, my S3 is alive again (and actually gets better quadrant scores ART on than my Nexus 5 ART off, if anyone cares)

Thank you. I will try your kernel on omnirom and report back to you on the relevant thread! Thanks and keep up the good work!

If you want to save the life of your digitizer, please don't flash any Note 2 kernel on the Galaxy S3! I have just burnt mine... so the touch screen is not working anymore
Got to send it to a Samsung service centre!
Are you serious?...

That you shouldn't flash kernels ment for other devices? Yup...

i see you forgot to mention the f2fs filesystem, i really adore it it makes my phone FLY on any ROM.
I wonder what will happen to the S3 if it got the 3.4 kernel along with the f2fs filesystem
3.4 kernel i9300
greetings to all
there are a few kernel devs currently running the mint kernels on s3 and s4 I will see if they are willing to lend some assistance, I personally assist in beta testing several s4 and note 3 customs mostly based on 4.4.1/2 but am willing to lend some time and or debuging / compiling / tweaking experience to helping with making this a reality currently running my laptop on the 3.13.x kernels. Would anyone in the thread wanna have the f4fs or reiserfs / hfs+ support (later two would allow for easier transfers to apple devices for graphics and gamer types)....feel free to pm me here or G+ / FB / TW Hangouts or on any of my programming assistance pages (below)

I have previously ported a 3.4 kernel which booted, but did not fully boot a ROM. Now that phone is not working, so I bought a galaxy s2. I wish I could help you, but I don't own a galaxy s3 (sorry). Anyway, where can I find the source? I may still be able to assist you somehow.

Someone @samsung wants to get an update to display driver merged. But kernel maillist thread shows it won't be easily merged

41Hey guys!
As you maybe know, we have the newest Android 4.4 but only a 3.0 Kernel. But we need the newer versions since Android is based of this new ones and if the gap between our version and Google's version is too big, it will take a long time to reach this. So i would say: "We need a newer kernel, let's go for it!" and i wanted to know if anybody is willing or if somebody is even able to port the 3.4 (or a newer version like 3.10 or 3.12) to our device to get better performance and to be safe to get all updates. If anybody is able and wants to help, please write it here or PM me. Also we should form a dev team to have the control over this project.
So if anybody is willing to, I will really appreciate it. I start this project on my own and you can join in to help and contribute your knowledge to this project. I will provide more info if needed. And yes, I know that it will be difficult but it is possible to reach the target.
Greets and best regards,
markey
If you want, have a look over here:Thread in development discussion section
Edit1: As i've seen in the poll, everybody (till now) wants the 3.4 kernel to be ported. So I have another question: Do you want me to port the 3.10 (or higher) Kernel also, after the 3.4 is running stable?
If yes, just write at the end of your post. Thanks. :good:
Edit2: I have decided to start porting the 3.1x+ Kernel based on dorimanx' sources first and then will try to port 3.4 cause 3.4 will have a better ability to be well integrated into Android till now and 3.10+ will take us one step further and keep us on track for the next Android versions which will be propably based on 3.8 or 3.10 Kernel.
If you have questions what this upgrade will (roughly) bring us, have a look at my last post in this thread.10
If you are really having time now, I can give you access to my bitbucket account again.Sorry guys for the long waiting...
No it's definately not dead, I just had a lot to do since school started some weeks ago and I'm now in a grade where all my lessons and exams count to my high school degree in 2016, so a lot of organisation needed to be done.
But now I'm back again (yes it was an 8- to 10-month-break):silly:
I will now update my source, do some communication with some other devs and start to update our kernel to a newer version.:highfive:
See you soon!
PS: If anybody got a spare S3 I could play with, pls PM me.
Till now I have upstreamed mm and block section to 3.4.0. Kernel subsystem is currently ~3.2. I need to apply about 200 more commits to bring it to 3.4 as well.10I have started updating my kernel to 3.4 meanwhile. It's a wip since I am committing every single commit of the most important sub systems by hand.
