Administrator DKT27 Posted October 8, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2012 Samsung has just released its Galaxy Note II kernel for developers to work on custom ROMs for the device. This opens up new possibilities for users wanting a better Galaxy Note II experience. The Galaxy Note II has recently been released in the EU and a few other places worldwide, but Samsung has decided to give back to the development community by offering the Note II’s kernel source. To most regular consumers, the Galaxy Note II kernel is practically of no use. But to developers and people who love running custom Android ROMs it’s widely used to ensure that a developer’s ROM can run to the best of its ability without losing core functionality and stability. ROM projects like CyanogenMod 9 and 10, as well as the AOKP (Open Kang Project) can now be developed with the most minimal of bugs now that the kernel is out, and if you’re interested in seeing what the kernel source has to offer, the download can be found on Samsung’s open source download page.

Tweety.Abd Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 What they've released is kernel source, and a few parts of the platform source that aren't actually modified or critical. In short, everything in the platform tarball is stuff that is already in AOSP and the AOSP version works fine, if not better. What the developers need the most is proper functioning source for HWComposer and other graphics subsystem stuff at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung/tree/jellybean/exynos4/hal. libhwcomposer is the most important, then libfimc/libfimg, then libhdmi/libhwjpeg/libs5pjpeg, and next is libcamera. Until and unless a miracle happens, development of AOSP on Exynos chipset is a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
