Kernel source release?

[Flinny]

HTC might need a gentle reminder about releasing kernel sources, none of the U series have been released yet, they are required for us to support SlimRoms/LineageOS/aosp/caf style ROMs.

I've tweeted at htcdev etc...

With you both. Also retweeted. Lets Hope for the best.

I didn´t even know HTC never released kernel source for U Ultra etc. I thought they had a good record releasing source code (well, sometimes a bit late but...)
One of my intentions when buying U11 was to create a kernel for the ocean after I took the trip to the Pixel XL and created my first kernel there.

Are you getting the U11?

Are you getting the U11?

Yes, hopefully next week

I just noticed they added kernel source of u play.

Also a search category for android 7.1 appeared which is still empty. Previously highest was 7.0.

Fingers crossed it's for the 11.

At least TWRP is fully working without it on this device. So I need it less than you kernel/AOSP devs this time around .

 

[Flinny]

I emailed htcdev and asked about all U series kernel source. They said it had been passed on. May just be coincidence though

Heh they snuck that out in the few hours of sleep I had last night! Funny they released Vodafone UK source when they don't seem to be stocking the phone! I've been playing with building using the stock kernel. The biggest problem I'm having is actually restoring my stock backup afterwards. /Data either won't restore or when I do fully wipe it and get it to restore it won't accept my unlock code/pattern/fingerprint anymore.
Setting the phone up from scratch every time you test is a pita!

Is it relevant that there still no US unlocked & sprint variations kernel source?

Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs

I expect they will come, but it looks like it's fully interchangeable currently, at least I've been running the europe unlocked boot.img on my EE UK single sim device without issue. I've just built it and it's running also.

Ouch, that sounds bad. I'm not sure when I'll start hacking, my vacation is very close and by then I guess most features might be already done and ported for sense kernels.. tho the new soc may add some pain to the equation of simple patching
