so i was thinking when our ahd gets kk update its sources will also get updated right but now we get roms from unified builds so kk source can affect the our ahd.?

RHD just got official KK and they are still waiting on RHD sources to be updated, so not necessarily. When the source code for both sides are released, that will be a job for the devs to cherry pick the new pieces of the code that will help the unified build. Will it make it better? Hopefully. Right now, just sit back, and be patient for our official KK update instead of jumping to step 10
Unified kernel for msm8974 devices

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

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?

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

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.
So I've started learning how to build a kernel given the source code, but I was wondering- since I got the Android 5.1 OTA will I be able to use the 5.0.2 kernel source for now to test on 5.1 until the source for 5.1 is on github? Or is this a bad idea that I should not even consider?
I have no idea. I think if you look up faux123 on Google+ he'll answer it for ya....?
Just checked the Samsung Open Source website and the N910UXXU1BOC2 Lollipop kernel source code has been released.
I hope that a good kernel developer will take advantage of this. ☺
I am unable to find the source for the xt1049 (or any 2013 X) for 4.4.4. I want to build a kernel with the USB keyboard patch built in. Could someone point me to the kernel sources?
Last I saw, Motorola kept their kernel source on Github
Sent from my Nexus 6
They have releases there for victara and their sourceforge has at least 4.2.2 kernel source for ghost. I haven't found 4.4.4 though.
