Now for KitKat too!
This runs decently with thekraven's PAC 4.2.2 and JBC, apparently CAI (cm9), as well. Any ROMs older than the JBC need an extra zip for test 45 to beta2a. It removes sbin/charger (or sbin/chargerlogo) from the ramdisk to avoid bootloop. beta2b and later now include this by default in the kernel zip.
CAI/ICS has no USB functionality.
I'm uploading unsigned flashable zips.
current:
bigsuperkernel3.0.101r6.0_noTLS_noMTDswap.zip for ROM versions built before before 7/12/2014
bigsuperkernel3.0.101r6.0_TLS_MTDswap.zip for everything more recent.
md5sum files in the shared folder too.
as it says, linaro gcc 4.7 toolchain. Supposed to be faster, better, stronger; the standard $6,000,000 man stuff. Not to mention -O2 optimizations in the build.
Thanks justarchi on xda for the toolchain and optimization instructions. The ROM thread has a link to his optimization thread in the OP.
includes thunderg ami304d to fix rotation/compass issues.
mount whichever /system you're using in recovery before flashing.
debugged enough to not be beta anymore. Binary finally uploaded after skipping r1.3-1.5
commit log for changes
r6.0 kernel 3.0.101, f2fs, accelerometer hopefully really fixed using thunderg blob, (MTD system and userdata partitions swapped, hardware TLS enabled) or not.
r3.0 compass fixed
r1.0
uhid bluetooth fixes for kitkat.
beta 6.
androidarmv6 bluetooth fixes and thekraven updates.
A revised beta 2b is out since fixing the rest of the charger. 2a and older all charge at about 400mA regardless of charger type or fastcharge toggle. 2b seems to pull power correctly. Fastcharge enabled, use the existing widgets or terminal instructions from jawz101's post.
Beta 2b uses 99% of the above patch but allows adb and mass storage by directly changing charge current instead of changing the charger type. updated with more charger code.
as of alpha test 81, everything works.
DISCLAIMER: You flash it, you're responsible for the outcome. This is an experimental kernel. Any zips labeled "test" are alpha releases. They are buggy one way or another but are archived in case anyone wants them.
Be sure to make a backup before flashing! I'm really only releasing it because I, too, once could not build kernels, but still enjoyed playing with them with my then-new OV.
(Ah, Zefie's Xionia. And Blarf's first build with the USB charge power turned up enough to charge while downloading on wifi. Memories...)
Plus it's the only way to get bluetooth on PAC and JBC at the moment.
Turn signature verification off in recovery or it won't work. Mount /system before flashing or wifi may break.
Archived.

CHANGELOG
This is intended for android 4.2. Specifically tested with thekraven's PAC and JBC.
You'll need the Virgin fix he posted for mms, carrier name, and such, but remove the /system/usr folder from the zip or you'll have your home/menu keys reversed since this kernel is built for the V instead of the S.
the test versions of JBC may not need keyswapped.
Tested with ICS (specifically thekraven's CAI.) No USB functionality on ICS. Maybe if it was rebuilt with the kernel headers it'd work.
Boots with GB (mirage.) But... no USB access. video whitescreen. Flash player only kind of works. I wouldn't bother. Like CAI, maybe if it was rebuilt with the kernel headers it'd work.
It ran froyo Harmonia with modifications to the battery code, but had weird little problems like black-and-white youtube playback (even with new EGL libs,) and no adb. This release will power off froyo as soon as it gets to the lockscreen.
Anyone wants to poke around with building or modifying, fork it or just git clone it!
Here's the source link:
https://github.com/bigsupersquid/android_kernel_lge_msm7x27-3.0.x.git
(branch cm-11.0)
thunderc-test_defconfig
you'll want to change or remove the toolchain path in the config. Highly unlikely your cross toolchain is in the same path as mine. I set it in there to avoid having to add "CROSS_COMPILE=/blah/blah/etc" to the make command every time I rebuild the kernel.
merged some ZV9 stuff in... it looks like the 2.6.35 Sprint stuff (https://bitbucket.org/thekraven/iscr...-2.6.35-rebase) may merge more cleanly into 3.0.8 though. Used some of each here, some there.
Where it's at currently (working/nonworking):
beta 1: offline charging still down, but has stock LG charger detection in battery code. Everything else, working fine.
as of test 81, basically everything works except offline charging!
pre-test 81:
adb works.
USB mass storage works.
bluetooth works! pairs with my keyboard.
3g works, as does wifi.
triple framebuffer works. Enabled.
youtube video plays. regular and hq both.
phone works, mms and sms too.
audio routed correctly now for on-device outputs. Speakerphone a bit on the quiet side. stock headset works but high volume. headset button picks up calls, or mutes microphone if in-call. I own no bluetooth headsets to check functionality though.
bluetooth audio seems to mostly work in JBC and CAI, test 40 and up.
all hard keys working.
vibrator works.
GPS works... locked within 10' of my actual location.
button backlights working.
NOVATEK_HITACHI mess from LG for the multidevice display driver is working. Should be no black screen on newer or older phones.
proximity sensor works.
camera completely working in test41. videocamera, panorama(!) still camera, and even that weird HDR mode.
thanks to thekraven for camera fixes!
battery meter working, but only refreshes after screen off/on. charging indicator also refreshes, but only on sleep/wake, as of test 50. Charges faster than standard through usb, I set it to 350mA instead of the default 2. The charge rate can be changed, in the config under drivers-usb-gadget.
accelerometer working as of test 41.
compass working as of test 41.
framebuffer console after display initializes... I took patches from [DEV] Framebuffer console - xda-developers and added a .config switch to turn this on or off. dmesg display requires funky kernel command line, and goes away when initlogo.rle and the bootanimation play. this shows crashes and panics before adb connects, though, is good for debugging, and is borrowed from gingerbread p500 kernel. thanks to tasssadar. Disabled in this build, but can be turned on in config if you build your own.
overclock enabled. Including AHB memory overclock from http://androidforums.com/3528567-post12.html. thanks to jiilik.
restored log size in test 45, was blocking logcat.
dev/frandom for crossbreeder included (not a module.) As of test 45.
random reboots appear to be a thing of the past. hopefully.
test40 onwards compiled using hardfloat flags (meaning it uses the math coprocessor instead of doing math with the CPU)
https://github.com/jawz101/android_kernel_thunderc/commit/78f4241838d6b7d856ef49b495e18135dbb5465e
gnu toolchain here
added armv6k compile flags since the MSM7627 is capable of handling the added instructions.
1-4-2014: now battery temperature readout should work right. Source pushed but no new binary yet. commit
Thanks to:
thekraven for helping point things out and providing a test ROM with the right kernel headers. It still runs fine with the standard builds of PAC and JBC.
also thanks to androidarmv6 team and all the thunderg devs who got it working on their device. Without all that code I'd have had no hope of getting this working at all, since I just copied so much of it over from thunderg to thunderc...
meld is my best friend with linux and kernel patching to compare and patch the differences.
