Hey guys relax...
Arguing over here and assuming different things don't work

I understand the excitement and I'm eagerly looking forward to some development as well.

As you know xplodwild had bricked his note and is hopefully getting a new one this week finally
So soon... we will see some movement happening
Lets have some patience and we will soon see some positive results... I'm looking forward too that is the reason I initiated this so our phones deserve the right thing

Let's wait a few more days...there is no point in getting frustrated or being negative.

Cheers

These things take time...kernel and driver development from scratch is not a few days process + it does involve phone bricking etc... the dev needs to make sure what he is creating is good and stable.

Many who have invested in getting the note to the dev including me.. are not complaining but instead are supporting..and we need to be positive and encourage our devs.... try to see who the dev is..checkout his other work..he is doing some amazing things for the community..he doesn't have time to give wrong informations..whatever has been said about the status is the situation which exists.

Let's have some patience.. we will eventually see xplodwild create kernel for aosp cm9 and stock roms.

Thank you!

This kernel is to secure future development for our notes is it not? So why be so anxious for a release when we are still getting plenty of official updates from Samsung?

Firstly, I did not donate so I do not have the right to say anything but if xplodewild is - what the op says a member of teamhacksung then we need not to worry about the project. Yet people who did donate deserve a word from xplodewild.

Androidindian, sorry mate but please don't act like an insurance agent. If you are in contact with xplodewild, please tell him what's happening here.

Xplodwild will reply today guys...he isn't available ...but in some hours he will.already told him about it..he will update soon

All of the comments in the last few pages are an embarrassment to XDA. You should all be ashamed of yourself. :mad:

Rigby2011 you need your account banning asap. Do us all a favour and buy an iphone.

First of all, I find 'Rigby's' remarks on this thread as too much already. Simply calling names on another member like 'butler, etc' is for me already hitting below the belt. I don't know why he is angry in the first place when in fact he never even donated a single bit to this project.

but, though the developer never really owes anybody here, I agree.. we should respect the developer whatever his present disposition or juxtaposition on this matter. Just for me, I would welcome any kind of updates.. one word even for the developer itself on what is the present status of his bricked Note already and how it's going on so far.

Again, when Androidindian initially open this thread, he was encouraging members out of their free will to support XplodWild on this amazing project... and the people and the Community respond.. sharing and donating what they could to have this wonderful project.... AND IT STARTED perfectly.., people were anxious on having the developer getting the Note shipped to him... and when it was in the hands of the dev.. in just a span of days.. he bricked the phone, Dev told he needs to take it for a repair(unappolegetically) .. since it's beyond his control already of fixing the problem.. and just like that... it went to lull...

I guess, I could understand where some of the members here in saying they we're anxiously waiting for the dev to give them some updates..(I know it's not easy to repair the phone and takes days even months), but the dev could have hang out a bit on this thread and reassuring the community here that all is okay and he is still on top of the situation.. but he never even pass by on this thread anymore.. it left some of the people who have been patronizing and faithfully following this thread - hanging dry..

I guess when you try to encourage people to patronize your work, you also have the decency to keep the enthusiasm at bay, even dropping a single remark on this thread on the status or just a even a simple reassurance would do (would hold still the confidence and trust of the people)..

The fact that he (dev) have not and was still online and have some posts on another forum here (SGS2 CM9) and not on this forum (where his friend - Androidindian, have made some people's hopes raised on this project) have put a keen distrust on the part of the dev already.

I guess my point, If you give people your trust, and the people bank you on their trust and hope, you don't leave them in the dark all the time. They will and will question and search for their trust in you.

Don't leave them at bay..

Just my thoughts....

For those who "donated" file a complaint to paypal if you honestly think that you have been duped. Other people who did not shell out a cent.... I understand your concern that this may have been a very coy trick to get a Note for free. But let's keep it clean and the dev owes it that much to the general public to give an update on what's the real score.

cannot imagine what xda forum would like if we have more people with attitude like Rigby2011. he did not donate or took part of this development. He have lost nothing and have no relation to this project at all. but he acts like he has given all his money and assets to xplodwild.

He announced death penalty to xplodwild even before the thread started. Even if xplodwild have the kernel development success at the very first attempt, he probably would still have negative things to say.

If there is some positive progression (not to mention any setbacks) during the development process, and sure Rigby2011 would waste no time to flame the situation into negativity.

if you are the developer, would you like to post any update when there is someone like Rigby2011 waiting to mess up the situation?

If xplodwild lost interest in this project one day, sure I will blame Rigby2011 first.

So please Rigby2011 leave this project alone. You don't like this project so much that I am sure you won't be interested to download and use it when the kernel become available. Just leave quietly, whatever happen here, it is none of your business.

This thread was getting way out of hand, so i have mass culled some posts. Please dont get into a open argument, its always best to report your concerns with a moderator, i guarantee it will be dealt with professionally. If you have nothing constructive to add to this thread then dont post! Stop asking for ETAs, the developer will release information as it is available. If this continues i will take it as failure to cooperate with a moderator.​

Hi everyone,

Sorry for being silent on this thread for quite a few days. As said and said and said, my phone is bricked and I sent it to the store on Monday. It should have arrived near Friday, but I still haven't got any news from them. I'll be contacting them tomorrow.

I'm truly sorry this happened, believe me that if it didn't brick, the kernel would be running already and maui and I would've released some better version of CM9 for the Note already.

Last but not least, remember that eventhough you all gave me quite an amount of money, developing kernels and stuff for Android isn't my job. I have studies, life and other things that takes time and I can't be here answering posts on XDA every hour. For instance, I was at a 24h programming challenge from Friday morning up to Saturday evening. I only got to sleep a few hours, but the first thing I did this morning (beside having my brain exploding xD) is writing here.

Don't worry. That summarize it :)

Got news from the store: They sent it to Samsung for a repair. Depending on when they sent it, I might get it by the end of the month or early next month.
I'm thinking about buying a new one so I can work on it earlier, and then sell the other one when it comes back from repair. I'll keep you informed.

yes bro, please buy a new one and sell the other one. its time for sexy kernels in the note dev!! enough of all the devs using stock i9220 kernels haha

its not about donations or not. we are beyond that

if you dont know about the dev, please read about him. he is the main teamhacksung dev and has created the open sources for cm9 kernel bases too.

and cm9 official coming to the note will have kernel base from teamhacksung which will be created by him, which can be used on aokp, aosp and cm9 based roms.
thanks!

Thread cleaned yet again

Thirteen more useless posts removed. This is definitely out of hand. The next person who

1) Ask for an ETA

2) demand that the developer'visit the thread more often'

3) Posts 'thanks for this great ROM'

or any other off-topic from Development post will be infracted, and this thread will be closed. Enough.

FYI, some good news:

I just received a Galaxy Note earlier today. When xplodWILD bricked, he was CLOSE. I'm talking - within hours.

I've got things booting and usable, however:
GPS is broken - have some ideas for this
hwaccel video is broken - I hope I can unbreak this with a bit of reviewing codeworkx's work on I9100 over the past few weeks
camera untested
****-tons of other stuff untested
I need to implement codeworkx's internal/external SD card swapping stuff
Pen is completely unusable - the I9100 kernel has some nasty cruft that becomes unhappy when you try to build the pen driver so I had to disable it

xplod - i'll push everything I've got when I wake up tomorrow.

oh yeah the new inline kernel building stuff is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS. :(

FYI, this was using the I9100 update4 sources, not the 3.4 project - that one is the long-term future but that'll be ****tons of work.

    XpLoDWilD's PopAds Kernel for Galaxy Note

    Updated 30.4.12
    Dev XplodWild got his note back just a few minutes back, expect CM9 experimental builds soon ..
    also, awesome custom open source kernel for note goodness !!!
    xplodwild twitter update: https://twitter.com/#!/xplodwild

    Updated 25.4.12
    Xplodwild is receiving his galaxy note this weekend, and will resume dev for the kernel and CM9 soon!

    Updated 22.4.12
    Team Hacksung Progress : Xplodwild & Entropy
    As per Entropy:

    Video hwaccel - working
    GPS - Working, although GLONASS is either not being used or just reporting as not locked even though it is. Samsung's sat status interface in ICS is mangled, I need to bring gpswrapper over to this device to see what the deal is.
    Stylus - Working with apps like Quill that support the standard Android 4.0 stylus API. (Haven't really tested anything else, but I know S-Pen API apps will not work and it's going to stay that way.)
    Camera - untested, probably not working, I tried to implement Torch and it did not play well


    Updated 21.4.12
    stage 1 complete.
    stage 2 complete - device ordered. project is ON!!
    stage 3 complete - device has arrived already! Dev XplodWild is beginning with his kernel project on the device.


    *** News - As xplodwild is waiting for his device to come back after repair... the amazing entropy is progressing with the kernel project based on xplodwilds work ... please read the last few pages of the thread for detailed updates ! ;)


    Dear Friends,

    I was in touch with my dear friend developer @xplodwild who is an integral dev member at TeamHacksung who are developing CM9 for the Galaxy series.

    Xplodwild has been developing an open source kernel for the galaxy s2, and he would like to develop an open source kernel for the Galaxy Note as well now. Since the hardware is pretty similar except for certain changes, this can be achieveable quite fast.


    So, what are the benefits of an open source kernel for the Galaxy Note?

    - Up-to-date forever kernel : Up-to-date forever kernel : The Kernel shall remain up to date forever, even after samsung or google come out with android 5.0+, and even when kernel will reach version 3.4.0

    There is no need to wait for wait or beg samsung to release their sources. After all android and our community is all about sharing and developing with each other.

    - Community supported : The project will be open source and community supported, so we can take this is another level really.

    - The advantage of having "Updated drivers" - Once we have open source updated kernels and drivers, the developers can continuously work on new roms, ports and developments. and Don't have to wait for ics or other leaks from the company itself. Usually the ports don't have something or the other working (like camera, usb etc.) because the kernel sources or drivers are not available. Once we have this project running soon, we will never see an issue with future android builds or ports etc.

    - Ability to do Mods

    - Maybe samsung will never release sources or will release very late for each release. We don't need to be dependent on them



    How to make this project Happen? Its pretty simple, we all are making it happen

    I would like to Thank "PopAds" and the community for supporting and making this happen. We have in a record time (less than 24 hours) collected enough to buy a note for the development, and now we head towards the 2nd stage.
    Thank you!!

    How much time this will take to develop?
    Since, SGS2 and Note are similar so it should take some days to have it running, then it'll follow the same progress as GS2.
    Check out xplodwild's sgs2 thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23462307 , you can see how he is making significant progress everyday and its coming to stable use very soon! :)


    The open source kernels can be used on AOSP / Samsung Roms (with slight mods) / and CM9 based roms, for Android 4.0 +

    Lets create our own community based, community driven samsung open source development program.
    21
    Steps : Pending - In progress - Done

    • Grab enough money to get the device
    • Order the device
    • Waiting for the device to be shipped <== It arrived already but I'll get my hands on it only on Saturday.
    • Start my kernel on the device


    Thanks to tomksoft/PopAds.net and all the donation of the people in this thread, the device is paid :)



    What works on the Galaxy S II version of the Kernel :
    • Linux kernel version 3.0.24
    • It boots (so all the low level stuff is done)
    • Touchscreen
    • Battery gauge

    NOTE: As official SGS2 sources are available, I'll try to port them firsthand to the Note.

    Keep in touch about it there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23462307#post23462307

    I'll tell you how it goes for the Note when I get the device :)
    13
    any more updates on your findings mate? please do share if you have anything :) Thank you so much!

    Well, I booted Criskelo on a custom kernel last night. Sources are pushed to my github (well, initramfs is still pushing), it's from the same tree as my I777 Touchwizz kernel.

    It's a bit more difficult to install than most kernels - the leaks are using old EGL and gralloc libs that won't boot with opensource kernels. Good news is that the libs from I9100 official releases will work - the files in https://github.com/koush/proprietar.../ics/galaxys2-common/proprietary/graphics/lib need to be placed in /system/lib (This was also the main key to booting CM9 on the N7000 using an open source kernel.)

    I'll try to post something flashable tonight or tomorrow night.
