By "custom" you mean based on stock roms or AOSP-derived?

both
depending on what an developer wants to build
What will the impact of this project be on areas that have been problems for aosp projects such as hardware drivers ?

1 kernel to rule them all means that 1 hal fixed in 1 device works on all devices
1 patch merged in kernel to fix something fixes same problem on all devices

I hope I'm not presumptuous or wrong: will it come with CWM and/or TWRP recovery versions?
Many thanks.

this is just source code so depends on developers on what android fork is used

Unless I'm mistaken, the sony source doesn't work with pure AOSP. All AOSP or derivatives roms use the CM android_kernel_sony_msm8974pro or forks of it.
My question is thus the following: is this kernel source compatible with AOSP or like "kernel-copyleft", only with stock rom derivatives?
My custom kernel works on the latter, but I need to use the "msm8974pro" trees for pure AOSP.
Unless I'm missing something?

broadcom wifi crash fixed
Can't boot
@jerpelea I've compiled AOSP Lollipop and it boots fine. I've compiled the kernel from 3.5.2.2 branch of the unified kernel source and successfully made zImage. I've combined the zImage with the resulting dtb and the ramdisk from the AOSP build. I can't get the device to boot for some reason. It's stuck at the Sony boot logo. Did I miss a step ? I've searched online but couldn't get enough help about this.
Tried the same with Kitkat too but same result. Doesn't go past the sony boot logo.
UPDATE
Got it to work The command line argument in the guide provided has android boot device as qcom whereas the one compiled during AOSP has it as "shinano" Took me 1 build to understand this Back to work again
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"

build guide has been updated for easy reading

hi all
kernel 3.10 is progressing nice
it can soon be used on SONY AOSP Project
master branch on devices uses 3.10 kernel
l-mr0 branch uses 3.4 kernel
br

hi all
3.10 is progressing nice
at this point can be used for L MR1 and shows good battery savings
more enhancements and bugfixes will come soon

Hi @jerpelea, which of the branches should be used for the 3.10 kernel?
I ll be appreciated that the unified kernel can support d6563.
Not sure if any developers here owns a Galaxy S6. If anyone able to port Ubuntu Touch latest to Galaxy S6 would be very appreciated.
I believe that roms of anything that isn't android will not work due to the Exynos processors not having their kernel sources released.

Excuse my ignorance as I don't have any development experience more than being a script kiddy, but was not the old Ubuntu Touch roms just sampling from CM11 sources for most of the drivers and kernel stuff?
As I say, I don't really know anything but I thought that was how it went. I don't care if there is an S6 ROM but I just want to see any port of Ubuntu touch on any device I have.
Edit: Actually it looks like it was CM10.1 for the old ones from like 2013.
Later they moved to CM11, and they may use 12 now, I'm not sure.
I am the original developer of the galaxy gear cyanogenmod 11 kitkat in this thread

This is the kernel opensource of the Samsung Galaxy Gear to boot Android Lollipop. I used this kernel source when I ported CyanogenMod 12.1. The error may not be occur in this source. It's almost perfect.
I open source because of some people asked me to open source, on youtube or mail.
README
I ported the key part of this kernel at smdk4x12 devices
Ported mali driver in the devices, that OpenSource Samsung uploaded
Applied the patch at CyanogenMod Kernel Source
You should leave credits when you use this source
I would not upload the ramdisk that I worked

Wow. Awesome that someone is still developing for this watch. Anyone try it yet?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt this kernel what we've been waiting for in regards to Wear?
amazing work...are you planning on releasing any of your roms?
This thread is continuation of original RamKernel thread

Great, thanks. That's what I figured but wanted to make sure. I appreciate the response.

Hi, I just got my hand on the Galaxy Note 8, I immediately tried to root and compile a custom kernel for it, I'm running Android 9 latest version and used the latest kernel source code on Samsung OSRC but for some reason, the camera refuses to work if I use my custom kernel.
I built my custom kernel simply by unpacking the stock firmware boot.img, replaced the zImage and put it back together.
After a while of investigating and tried to use custom kernel built by other people, I realize that they replaced the camera firmware in /system/vendor/firmware/ with the files fimc_is_lib.bin fimc_is_rta_imx333_3h1.bin fimc_is_rta_2l2_3h1.bin fimc_is_rta_imx333_imx320.bin fimc_is_rta_2l2_imx320.bin and the camera was functioning with their kernel but somehow I still unsuccessful on getting my OSRC kernel with a camera working on this phone with their firmware files.
I've searched all over the internet and there doesn't seem to be any thread talking about such issue so I'm currently in a dead end
So anyone knows what's going on with the camera firmware of this phone, please let me know.
Thanks.
