    Thread How do you compile a boot.img from a kernel source?

    With the Note 3 using device tree (dtb) files, what is the new process to create a bootable kernel image without having to build the entire Android stack along with it? I'm working on porting kexec-hardboot to the CyanogenMod hlte kernel. I've compiled my kernel and it produces a zImage and a...

    Thread [DEV/WIP] Kexecboot Bootloader for Galaxy Note 3 N900T - Boot Multiple Kernels

    This is a development thread at the moment. I'm going to start working on porting the kexec-hardboot patches to the N900T (actually CyanogenMod hlte) kernel. With the kexec-hardboot patch applied, the kernel will be able to act as a second stage bootloader and boot other kernels. Combined...

    Thread [DEV] Debian GNU/Linux (testing) for Galaxy Note i717

    Now that I've ported the Kexecboot bootloader, I'm moving on to my ultimate goal of getting a GNU/Linux desktop distribution running on the Note. My distro of choice for ARM these days is Debian, because it works well both in a chroot on Android as well as natively booted on its own. With...

    Thread [Q] Mouse input for Android?

    I'm trying to get a framework going to port OpenJK (the Jedi Academy open source project) to Android. I've tried numerous Quake 3 Arena ports (all ioquake3) based but none support any useful means of input. Touchscreen controls for FPS games universally suck, I've not tried one that was even...

    Thread [APP] CalcTunes - Desktop-style music player for Android [ALPHA 0.47]

    I've been working on this for almost a year now off and on. I wanted a media player that gave me more control then the stock player included with Gingerbread (CM7). This drove me to try other players such as MortPlayer, which could play folders directly. It lacked the ability to have multiple...

    Thread [UTIL] Kexecboot Bootloader for Galaxy Note i717 - Boot Multiple Kernels

    Well, it only took 2 years lol! What is Kexec? Kexec (kernel-execute) is a function of the Linux kernel that allows it to act as a bootloader to boot other kernels. Unfortunately, the standard implementation of kexec doesn't work quite right on most ARM devices due to poor driver support for...

    Thread [DEV] Ubuntu 11.10 for A43/A101 [RELEASE 1]

    Last summer I got Ubuntu 11.04 working on my A43 but didn't post anything about it. With the progress made on kexec and the new kboot bootloader, it is now possible to have multiple kernels for multiple OS'es. This means it just got a whole lot easier to boot Ubuntu without losing the ability...

    Thread Relocating Pocket IE to external card?

    I have an Axim X50v running the latest MagLite WM6 ROM. It's awesome, but it was running a bit slow, so I decided to try removing all my apps (saved to internal memory) and reinstalling them to my 16GB CF card. This has led to a vast and very noticeable performance improvement. However, if I...
