[REF] Kernel source code repository for Galaxy S III

---

Hi everyone.

As you all know, Samsung distributes source code as tarballs which isn't the best way to redistribute kernel source code

git is the best modern way to work with Linux Kernel sources, designed by Linus himself in this purpose.

So, i made an organization on github for that.

https://github.com/sgs3

And yea, that means source code has been released, head on to http://opensource.samsung.com/

Kernel Sources :
https://github.com/sgs3/GT-I9300_Kernel

Branches :
master :- branch you should use(for developers), will contain fixes and more in the future (currently identical to stock_update4)
stock :- Kernel sources from GT-I9300_ICS_Opensource.zip, unmodified
stock_update1 :- Kernel sources from GT-I9300_ICS_Opensource_Update1.zip, unmodified
stock_update4 :- Kernel sources from GT-I9300_ICS_Opensource_Update4.zip, unmodified

If anyone wants to commit any fixes / anything else, fork and shoot a pull request

How to Build :
Get teh sauce:

git clone git://github.com/sgs3/GT-I9300_Kernel.git
cd GT-I9300_Kernel
git checkout master

Tell it to use our config:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain m0_00_defconfig

Teh real build:

make CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain

or

make -j `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^processor" | wc -l` CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain

The compiled kernel is arch/arm/boot/zImage

Was about to post this

Will start compiling and have a kernel up and running soon I hope. This time in contrast to the S2, it's time for serious developing.

Here's a direct link to the S3 files: http://opensource.samsung.com/recept...Value=GT-i9300

This is great news guys,
lets hope that we will also have a proper CWM recovery soon.

@whomever is building from source, please include the MMC driver patch that enables boot partition visibility. Maybe I'll even do it myself... this'll let TriangleAway work, so we can reset the flash counters

EDIT: this is the patch in question: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...305ffa1c3a58ef. Apparently Sammy took this out again in their sources (according to somebody else, I haven't had time to confirm yet, but I can see the boot partitions do *not* appear on my device), they may have bastardized it further ...

No CF-Root Kernels for the i9300?

Well it's not needed as much due to the separate recovery, but if there's demand, I'll build CF-Root's... but those are based on Samsung binaries, not source.

Great! I'll go through this when I get the time.

Of course I want a CF kernel

I think everyone of us want a CF-Root-Kernel

I don't really see the point why we should make that. I have flashed cwm with Odin and then the SuperSu cwm flashable zip available here on xda. Then installed busybox installer from the play store. Much easier to do as letting Cainfire always compile a cf-root kernel for us.
