Kernel differences on devices. - Motorola Atrix HD

Between our device, and the HTC one X's stock, what are the kernel differences? I'm attempting to port over sense 4.1.1 stock and I only get a reaction out of a 4.1.2 stock kernel(Mexican retail).
Also, is there anyone who could assist with updater scripts? I'm stuck adb pushing through recovery right now and it's very unreliable.
Update: 4.1.1 AT&T stock kernel didn't even get a boot loop. It seems the 4.1.2 retail has some of the needed components but not all of them. Does anyone have any opinions? I cannot get to the point in which I can obtain a logcat. Things would probably get much simpler once I can get logcats.

I dont think you can port the kernel. People usually port SYS. Kernel is device specific. So you take our kernel and get Sys from one x, fiddle with them to boot...

You can port kernel too, but need to decompile it and replace some scripts in ramdisk.... Search in android general section, you may get some tutorials....

Upgrade to Gingerbread from Froyo with rooted Atrix 4G

I just got a rooted Atrix 4G which is running 2.2.2 but I can't tell if its stock or not and I want to upgrade to Gingerbread somehow. I don't know what to do exactly in order to have it. So if some who has had the same question about this was able to upgrade to Gingerbread and could help me out that would be great. Also If i need to uproot in order to get it please help me out with that to I looked into aRoot and that seemed a little bit skeptical so just let me know via PM or the thread.
.......really? :|

for starters, go to menu>settings>about phone and see if anything there gives away the state of your rom. also, is your BL unlocked (does it show unlocked on motorola boot animation)?
If your phone has all the blur content and has certain things locked down and such then chances are its stock.
another thing to check is whether or not your system is deodexed as most custom roms are.
I don't know a foolproof way of checking myself.
Alright well I don't think my phone has a custom rom on it but here is what I have just to make sure im right. I do know my phone does not have an unlocked b.l
System Version: 4.1.83MB860.ATT.en.US
Model:MB860
Baseband: N_01.77.15P
Webtop: oshwt_u1_4.257.30
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3
Let me know if I need anything else. I would take a screenshot but the app doesn't work for some reason.

seems like stock. at any rate, the OTA image will fail to update during the version check if it's not. follow motorola's update instructions here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page

so if I try to update it to gingerbread while my phone is rooted nothing will happen? Or should I unroot it and then update it?

No not at all. For 1 our device isn't supported and for 2 we have already figured out a workaround to the locked bootloader
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
It may not be supported yet but if they do add our phone to it, yes it will help. We may have a Kexec kernel but an unlocked bootloader will make things far easier.
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
Will for one it says page not found so im saying they are not unlocking the bootloader but it it does not matter because of the fact that we have a workaround.

Apparently it got posted and pulled and I think reposted. Android police or droid had the supported device list
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
If you look here (https://motorola-global-portal.cust...sion/L3RpbWUvMTM0NTI1NDk1NC9zaWQvU3VDYlRZM2w=) only the Photon, Xoom, and RAZR dev can be unlocked. And the RAZR dev should be unlocked anyways... it IS the dev edition. This means nothing, and with working Kexec, I don't see why we'd even change since everything now is being written for Kexec and development for this phone ins't exactly active, we essentially have 2 people developing new things for it. There are more GNex kernels than there are D3 devs.

At this point what difference can it make. Either way we can load a kernel, just need the kernel to be built
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Kexec makes this pointless. The reason development stopped initially was because making a ducati binary work with the Gingerbread stock kernel for ICS was impossible. Also doing a kernel module custom was too. Now even though we have ducati and it won't work for the camera we can do other things like Chrome. Also, Hash was going to modify his custom kernel for a camera driver for us as his next approach. This gives us options we didn't have before. The fact that we use Kexec is better because it is flashed on top of the kernel existing at first and it is just a ROM. If it is a bad flash all you have to do is just reflash from Safestrap. We couldn't do that before.

Cm10.1 Performance booster version 2

CM10.1 Lag Fix version 2​
The first version by me is baked into cm10.1 by epinter already, this is the new one.
This update is made by me and will be baked into cm10.1 (epinter) as soon as he diffs it.
This build prop works okay*for me, but not 100%!
Instructions: To apply the tweaks and scripts to CM/PAC/CARBON etc...
(1. Download the attached file below.
(2. Flash it in Clockworkmod recovery.
(3. Enjoy.
What does this do? Enable both cores on high, free a tad more ram and graphics tweaks through properties and init.d...
VERY Close to fixing 100% of the problem. But I cant get my other source to work.
Download - Codex01-CM10.1PreformanceEnhancements-3.0.1.zip
so does battery life take a hit with both cores enabled?
No, I included more than performance there's now power saving, connection, and media init.d scripts and props.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Thanks thats good to know about to flash now.
Update: I definitely see a performance difference.
I tried it in PAC rom and its running smooth now. I notice that after i flash this, i can't proceed to CMW recovery. Anyone has the same problem? Im planning to back up this.thanks

Nope i get into CMW.
Is there a way i can recover CMW?
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
This does make everything a bit smoother. Animation is still kinda herky-jerky but for a ROM that's been around for less than a week developed by a guy who doesn't even own one (epinter says he doesn't have an MB886 available to him), this is super impressive.
Try flashing it again @ryuben2k. What version and which model, from what I hear, the Photon 4G LTE is not a good choice of recovery. Make sure you flash the Razr HD recovery. If all goes well with the millions of init.d scripts I'm writing I'll have version 3 by tomorrow.
Is this specifically for cm10.1 or will it work for PAC rom?
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Yes, because PAC is a port into our cm10.1 sources. @worlddominatiin
Appreciate the work your doing looking forward to v3
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
@Swiftb12305 I'll have it up tonight for sure, something came up and I didn't feel like doing anything.
thanks! im waiting for the v3 too!
Okay might be a while because my Google site page for this got reformatted, and I'm trying to get some other stuff done, this may lead to the early to late am maybe even pm. Because of scripts for not only cm, PAC, and AOKP... But now root box too.... Hope you guys understand.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
So later this night or tomorrow night?
No problem... I might be awake to try this out still...
I don't see any reason to not be patient...
No problem btw what will v3 include?
Sorry for my absence and delay of development, it was due to a family emergency. I'm not home right now, I'm using mobile hotspot while I'm in Daytona for a while. Hopefully I can get this project up. Please be patient while I'm syncing my sources now on my laptop.
To answer your question on what this update will contain: It will contain additional scripts in init.d, as well as a new sysctl script.
OP UPDATE: New Beta is up, not a whole lot of changes till tonight.
Sweet!
Can't wait til it's... Tonight...
For a second there, I was about to ask what's new with this upcoming version... That would have been pretty stupid...

[DEV][PORT][4.2.2]Sense 5 from HOX

Hello,as many of you know ,that here was no updates made for a long time ,but i was working on this ROM with the help of Adam77Root ,Ive tried a lot of different combos of the Build, a lot of logging ,testing was done,but now Ive come to point where I ask any developer to help Porting this ROM to our for 4X ,so ive decided to make this an open development and publish current build.
NOTE: THIS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY,THE ROM IS NOT BOOTING
CURRENT STATE:
This Port is based on CM10.1 stable with no /system/app.It has - repacked kernel, many imported libs and frameworks. The ROM was stuck at bootanimation all the time ,untill the last libhw_legacy.so was added and it got stuck at LG splash .
DOWNLOADS:
HOX SENSE 5 ROM:

It is more than obvious that the rom will not boot ... No hard feelings!
I wish that this was booted and with no bugs because i would definitly use it.

Since you port from HOX and use Sense 4+, I assume it's the 4.1.1 version. It will be an enormous work.
Does this.boot or i need to test myself?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Small suggestion. EGL libs have no need to change also hw libs (for start) so first to get the rom booting and after that fixes...there is no need to pile all at once!
today i haven't got enough time to have a look at it sorry. i will do it before monday
You could ask dexter_nlb if he has some tipps for you.
Hope you will get that thing work

contacted him before this ,didnt answer yet ,priority is to get it booted now.
In reply to @Gmobilize for the PM, but others might also be interested:
This and similar ports are not impossible to do. It just needs a lot of work. We are in a good situation, because: 1. We have NEON instruction support (Nowadays almost all new devices have this, but it's a pain if one doesn't.) 2. The HOX is similar both in chipset and in screen size and resolution. 3. We have official JB.
These were the pros, now the cons: HOX JB is based on 4.1.1 and it's slightly different from 4.1.2. Many native libraries should be replaced, which should not cause a problem as the chipset is similar.
I have already worked on a port similar (Stock Samsung JB from Exynos 4 to Tegra 2, without NEON support -> it was really hard), but would not participate in this project right now (I'm intereseted, but have some other work atm.).
Regarding rumours, 4.2.2 with Sense 5 will land in July to the HOX, I would wait for that.
If you need any help with the project, I'm here. Some advices first: Don't flash the whole rom, rather do it one-by-one, i.e. first frameworks, fix the necessary natives, boot into system_server, let SystemUI and core services start app, add providers, add core apps then others. It is a time (and adb ) consuming port, but it has to be this way.

That is in the kernel...
You must change it in the kernel source, and then compile the kernel. Cam posted a tool a while back somewhere on the AOIP thread. You need a linux distro though
