Could the moderators/somebody please point me in the right direction on this?
I tried going into market and got. Application launcher (in process com.modaco.android.launcher.gb) is not responding. I tried going to astro web page and using their external link to market as well
.
Got the Optimus U and T source from lg opensource. Found out that the directory kernel/drivers/media/video/msm differs from the S soucre, including at least one file with exposure-setting code that just isn't in the S sources at all. I want to replace the entire S msm directory with that from the U and compile the kernel as per LG's readme:
Beezy and ksmithinny, is this how you build the kernels you make available? I have a feeling there are also some non-kernel files, like android/external/kernel-headers/original/media/msm_camera.h, which may need to be changed too - does that mean I'd need to follow the entire Android system build instructions?
Thanks!

I would try build/working in the msm from the v source and compiling to see if that works then try working out from there if it's fails. You might have to edit and try building that into aosp.
You can build the kernel that way just have to edit your config if there's any changes to be made to the build process.
Building now (right now compiling arm-eabi-toolchain https://github.com/jsnyder/arm-eabi-toolchain for mac os x). I successfully booted and used an Optimus V rom to make a call, but it didn't give me exposure control in the camera, so I'm using the U's msm folder.
There shouldn't be changes to the build process if all I'm doing is dropping in a different msm directory with its own makefile, right?
Holy macaroni, this thread has broken 100k views
This seems like a time for celebrating! Cheers!!
Your right i just didn't know if there was any changes that require you to make edit to the config. Ill have to take a look at your git later.
The toolchain didn't compile successfully from that git. Also tried to do it through macports, but it's arm-elf-toolchain rather than arm-eabi-toolchain. Trying to figure it out. Downloading android ndk right now. Is that what I'm looking for to cross-compile the kernel?
Kernel built. Now I have a zImage. What do I do with it? My inclination: extract xionia_kernel_005.zip, replace kernel/zImage with my new one and replace system/lib/modules with the modules my build created, zip it back up, and flash it. The xionia zip file appears to have all the utilities and scripts needed to do the complicated stuff described in HOWTO: Unpack, Edit, and Re-Pack Boot Images - Android Wiki or http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...how-build-your-own-kernel-package-source.html on its own.
I know there will probably be some kind of certificate/signing problems. How do I get around that?
Will this new maintainance update be brought into TR so that we get the minor 'fixes' or were they already included?
what do I do with this update that my phone wants me to reboot. for
