[KERNEL][AOSP/TW][27 Dec] War Kernel r3 // colder than ever
- Thread starter GeeckoDev
- Start date
They have rebased their kernel on n7100 sources, with zero support for 4210 devices (S2/Note). Also I don't see any public userspace modifications for this in their repo.
Just out of curiosity: Now that you seem to have the parts needed for the graphics driver (drivr, hwcomposer, blobs...), did you make any progress?
installed r4 for KK4 on my S2 (with the latest Omni on it) and I am getting weird display artefacts and the phone would not get past the bootloader. Not even the yellow triangle was showing correctly (all kinds of weirds lines around it). Fortunately, ODIN worked, so I am back to a usable system.

No offense, but.... are you retarded? Did you see any mention to the S2 on this thread?
I didn't work on it yet. Do not ask for ETAs, do not spam me, when something interesting comes out, I will post here.
Hmmm... my cunnning plan to casually ask for an ETA without asking for it as forum rules forbid it seems to have been revealed. Excuse-moi, mon ami. Won't happen againI didn't work on it yet. Do not ask for ETAs, do not spam me, when something interesting comes out, I will post here.
As a matter of fact, I did!
What makes things worse, I was redirected here from the FPBug thread where we mostly dealt with S2. You forked the Omni kernel (which is common). You're right, I should have been more careful. I have confused common source (which I hope it still is) with common binary.
Anyway, no harm done. But I hope once you got that hwc working, it will also be applicable for the S2.

Flashing another kernel than the one built for your device can hardbrick your phone, so be careful next time :laugh:
Although I agree 100% with that, usually kernels check in the updater-script whether you are flashing it to the right phone, might be worth adding to the next version just in case
Damn, it seems recovery is broken with r4/TW (flashing screen). I'll release r5 soon to fix that, you'll have to flash using ODIN/heimdall.
Hey @GeeckoDev can u or anybody else please help me?
i'm running nightowl cm 12 for my note. How can i flash kernel to that?
Should i hav to wipe everything or just going to recovery flash the kernel ???

No need to wipe the whole thing,
you can choose to wipe only cache from the cwm bauner's recovery, then flash the raw v7 kernel Lollipop by geeckodev
:laugh:
done, your phone rock and roll' :silly:
@GeeckoDev, look here: https://bitbucket.org/arter97/arter97-i9300-release/commits/5e2d7c9dab6282e40748c0a6956e17b5bed81841
Files extracted from Nameless ROM thanks to arter97
I made an experiment, copied all files into device. Bootloop (SAMSUNG screen).
Then I copied one file at once, rebooted. If device booted, I copied another one and so on...
I copied 4 files till now. And device & ROM it's working. Not sure if I made something with this experiment, but when I opened Agenda book the text was missing for less than 1 sec, like HWC made actually something! Not sure if glitch, but I saw this just a single time.
These are the files I copied into device:
lib/hw/hwcomposer.exynos4.so
lib/libExynosHWCService.so
lib/libExynosIPService.so
lib/libhwconverter.so
Maybe we need (more/another) files from Nameless ROM, I really don't know.
libsurfaceflinger.so seems to bootloop device, so DO NOT COPY IT!
Best Regards!

@GeeckoDev, is it possible that you enable a few kernel modules when you compile so USB cameras can be used via OTG?
Some help on what to enable here in the kernel configuration:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656922
Edit:
Seems only the
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS
needs to set to yes. Everything else is already enabled if I'm looking at the right git branch. Can't find the Lolipop one though.

Cool experiment, I was about to do the same thing. Since this HWC uses fences I think it needs to be enabled in the kernel, and there are likely other kernel changes (in s3cfb) to merge, too. What is the logcat output?@GeeckoDev, look here: https://bitbucket.org/arter97/arter97-i9300-release/commits/5e2d7c9dab6282e40748c0a6956e17b5bed81841
