Hi there!
I would like to get started with building kernels for my newly bought Huawei Honour U8860
My motivation comes from the desire to have this app running on my device, which apparently needs some kernel patches to be applied, since I'm missing the devicefiles called /dev/voc* --> http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/
The Kernel patches can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/source/browse/#svn/branches/snapdragon/kernel
What I found on my own is this:
http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
But I have no idea what kernel to start from, the list of devices they have over there
http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html
have names like: "maguro, panda, wingray, crespo, passion, sapphire, dream" and I have no idea what they mean, except for those few names that are explained on the same page.
I am currently running a rooted Android 4.0.3 that I gained by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22688341&postcount=53
I would really apreciate any help anyone can give me! Thanks in advance
EDIT: okey!! I found a download from huawei here
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3834
Thats called: "open source-kernel-3.0.8-U8860-IcecreamSandwich"
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQwNDc=
So I will try to work with this and get it build and deployed on my device. Thats gonna be a lot of work, will report back when I finished or aborted my mission frustrated.
EDIT2:
Okey, this is really a hard thing if you don't know what you're doing, like me... I think I'm gonna give up, all these config options (i stopped reading after the first 50 and just hold down the enter key for agreeing to the default), and in the end some strange errors:
..._kernel/arch/arm/include/asm/irqflags.h:11:5: warning: "__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__" is not defined
error, forbidden warning: irqflags.h:11
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Fehler 1
make: *** [prepare0] Fehler 2
About my initial motivation for compiling myself a kernel:
There are a lot of call recording apps, though most only record from the microphone, and therefore only record a weak shadow of the other side of the conversation.
For the moment I stick with this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=androidlab.allcall
When I tested it with a few testcalls, it seemed to me that the other side is also recorded, even though it gave me an error that it can't record the other side. However, now after a few days real usage I'm not so sure if it truely records the other side, or if this is only this shadow that comes in through the mic. It is hardly understandable in the recordings most of the times now.
So this alternative app is at least an interim solution, but I still wan't to get myself a kernel compiled, and once done try to apply or adept the kernel patches from http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/ to this kernel
