Question.

I feel that the answer to this question will be No, but I'll ask it anyway....

Here goes.

"Will this work on Stock Rom with Locked Bootloader (Z1 Compact) ?"

hi All

Busy weeks ....months ...

Progress so far
- unified 3.4 kernel is stable for daily use and community tweaking

As some of you have already seen we have started work on comunity 3.10 unified kernel
This kernel is not finished and not stable but is an invitation for developers to joyn, test and improve a kernel built "by community for community"

Maybe I'm just stating the obvious here, but github shows me further changes on dsi-panel-honami.dtsi:
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/ke.../arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/dsi-panel-honami.dtsi
It might be worth it to do the same on dsi-panel-amami.dtsi

One question if possible... did you guys have serial cable for debuging and which one you use for debuging kernel ? I have created one but seems its not working, going to buy db9 to rj45 adapter since my computer have db9 input, will it work? This is http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2452/samsungmicrousb1.jpg cable scheme which I have used for it.

Edit:
nevermind, solved.

Are there instructions to build this kernel anywhere? I think I am able to build it to obtain a zimage but I don't know how to incorporate this into an existing ROM.
