Root [ICS] ICS Kernel Development Thread

Thanks. I just tried building the rest of the android system, but It's erroring out:



Man their instructions suck. Anyone know the exact toolchain version to use for ICS? I remember fiddling with this before.

Also I can't remember if the kernel folder needs to be inside the android folder. If I remember right, this was the structure:

/
/android/ (here's where we merge the contents of the lg source from the android.zip)
/android/kernel (here's where the kernel goes, if it even needs to go in the same dir.)


I just noticed the ZIP says 'Sprint', somehow mixed it up in my head with verizon for some reason. Sprint phones can be flashed over to metro right? That's all I care about.

It looks like it missing the framework
 
Hey, EagerestWolf and kanaida

can I get you guys to add me on skype so we can maybe get this rolling. Im gonna try to hop on board with this project since I have the weekends available. I got kitchen set up and running, lets see what we can do and get this rolling.

we have a kernel, now we need a boot img and the source files correct?

if you are trying to build aosp with the lg patch on it... well gl, I never got that shyt to compile. Not to mention looking thru it, it doesnt have anything specifying what device etc etc etc. So its not likely it will boot.

Did your kernel boot?
 
I compiled the sprint config, AOSP + the LG Sources. I figured hardware wise at least the kernel part should be almost identical, give or take some thing here and there. Then I would figure out what hardware isn't working and take some time and merge or enable some code/modules that were in the metro config solely for those things. I thought of doing it this way because someone mentioned flashing it some other way but only missing 4G. Since they didn't do it the clockworkmod way, i figured this way might prove more successful. The other way they did it might have flashed radio firmware etc... It's very possible we may not encounter the same error as long as we configure the apn xml configs in the framework etc... correctly.
