Root [DEVELOPMENT] SickleKernels For the SV

simonsimons34 said:
Yes boost only. It is because the one Sv is the only lte HTC phone on boost. They want to have one kk device on both sides. Plus all the money they put into this phone, they need to sell more to make their money back

Interesting, now there are 4 devices from boost mobile that will be making it to KitKat. The Moto G is already receiving the OTA for 4.4. The GS3 is expected to make the update in Q2 I believe, & thats based on official leaked documents. The LG Optmius F7 is on the list of jumping from 4.1.2 straight to 4.4 based on a source of phone arena inside LG. And now the HTC one SV is expecting the 4.4 update based on your source. So any ETA/Quarter for release on this update for the One SV?

Installation Instructions:
1) Get android SDK
2) get kernel.img from OP
3) put in fastboot directory
4) Install appropriate drivers for your phone (NO HTC SYNC, THIS PREVENTS ADB)
5) Boot into FASTBOOT USB
6) issue the command `fastboot flash boot SickleKernelvX.img` where X is the version you downloaded
7) Reboot and proffit

How To Compile:
1) download this tested toolchain
2) get kernel source here (Current branch is "jellybean")
3) put the toolchain in your $HOME directory
4) be sure your system has all the dependencies to build a kernel (system-devel, gcc, ect)
5) cd to the kernel source
6) issue the command `make ARCH=arm k2_cl_defconfig`
7) issue the command `make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=`echo "$HOME/prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86_arm_arm-eabi-4.8/bin/arm-eabi`"`
8) grab the kernel from arch/arm/boot/zImage and the modules from drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd_*/bcmdhd.ko
9) create a boot.img with either mkbootimg and mkbootfs or android kitchen from xda
NOTE: the mkbootimg command for this device is `mkbootimg --kernel /path/to/zImage --ramdisk /path/to/ramdisk.gz --base 0x80400000 --pagesize 2048 --ramdiskaddr 0x81808000 --cmdline "console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 user_debug=31" -o bootout.img`

CHANGELOG

everything working
s2w and s2s added

Fix radio bugs
Fix NFC
Fix wifi
Fix FM radio


------ V2 ---------
put bcmdhd.ko into the boot.img so that its flashed without a zip
build with new toolchain (https://bitbucket.org/codefirex/prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86_arm_arm-eabi-4.8.git)
Add Kbuild cflags to allow gcc 4.8.1 compliance such
------ V1 ----------
remove write protection persist of /system in k2_cl_defconfig
gcc 4.7.3 compliance
port k2_plc_cl (cricket) board files

DOWNLOADS:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simonsickle.kernelmanager
and
File Contents of http://dl.simonsickle.com/files/.

Take the .img file and run the following commands

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot SickleKernelv20-101513.img
fastboot reboot

Now, boot into android and use my app. From here enable s2w (if you like it) and you're good to go!

Why are both links down I've been trying to download the kernel is there any other links
 
I have the K2PLC_CL. If anyone is interested in building a kernel from this source for it, I will be happy to provide whatever I can to help.

Thanks simonsimons34 for the source!
 
4.1 but man.. This thing is rocking now. Ramdisk cleaned up now.... Now to get btrfs working and mount /data and /internal SD together to give us 4gb data....
The kernel will be posted tomorrow if everything continues working properly.

Goo.im Downloads - Downloading SickleKernel-v100-160314.img

Also follow my twitter @simonsimons34 :) It gives you updates when I upload to goo.im and when I put a commit on git. OP updated shortly

EDIT:
WARNING: This build has my stage one of a voodoo audio type implementation. The audio at max is VERY loud and can cause damage at prolonged exposure. I am not responsible for any hearing damage; be smart.
 
So far so good! I like the option to adjust the strength of the vibration :thumbup: i always thought it was to strong.
 
I believe the vibration option is usually something already there. All I did to the vibrator code was remove some log spam

It didn't appear in trickstermod until this release :)

Edit:

I lied. I just flashed back to your previous build and it's still there :o
