Custom kernel

From what I've read the international LTE kernel source is what is being used to make custom kernels for our device. I haven't seen it implemented yet, so it would be great to see a kernel with system write protection disabled.

Those kernels are for AOSP. For a sense kernel, you would probably be better off waiting for kernel source to drop from HTC

Unfortunately, waiting on HTC to drop kernel source is like waiting on a Verizon OTA lol

Except HTC is legally required to release the code in a timely fashion. The code will not drop until after 4.3 is out and they usually take 2-3 months to release it. It has absolutely no bearing on an exploit or root. When the DNA got the 2.04 update, HTC took about a month to release it. AOSP kernels like CM do not rely on this. Luckily, the M7 has a nice device tree so whoever is maintaining it now (I am assuming flyhalf) does not need to modify it drastically (much much unlike the DNA). So CM wise, we seem to be fine. You will not see a custom sense kernel until the source is released.

That never happens lol only for GE HTC One it was released the same day or something

As for kernel, it could be patched from international One but then it would be a hacky impllementation.. imo not good. Because most AOSP ROMs are based of a derivative of the CM One kernel, the CDMA Ones use this same kernel: maybe there are a few patches to get it working but most of it is just from the international AOSP kernels.

Thats why there are Verizon AOSP kernels and not sense kernels. No one has patched a sense kernel to work on Verizon yet (whether they can't or are simply waiting for proper source is irrelevant, however I would lean towards the latter)

Whassup my vivo brethren...? I may try to patch said kernel to Verizon soon...no promises though.

Yeah...But whether they actually do it or not is another thing. "Timely" isn't actually defined very concretely.

But isn't cm 10.2 a custom kernel

The reason there is AOSP source even though there is no Verizon kernel source is because CM commonizes the kernels by related device families to minimize the amount of work that needs to go into it. There is one and only one kernel for all the M7 variants, with a couple options changed, etc, but it's the exact same source tree.

Hathoiught i might see one of you guys here one day.. Hopefully I get my One back from repair (having huge issues with their and my carriers services) so I can start doing stuff to it :)
I reckon there's not much harm in waiting, and that's better for the long run anyway

If it doesnt work on sprint, a cdma carrier, why would it work for verizon?
I was thinking that because it is 4GLTE (which I read was bridging the gap between CDMA and GSM...or eventually going to), it may work. We ported a kernel from the international Incredible 2 (GSM) onto the Verizon Incredible 2 (CDMA) without issues...

Just thinking out loud.

As long as there is ril support and all drivers work then it's a simple build prop tweak
