Hi, My process of porting a device's kernel (non-android) to an Android one: I first diff the device's kernel with the same version of vanilla kernel, apply the patch to the version of vanilla kernel same as the Android one I have and fixes errors, then diff the fixed kernel with vanilla kernel and apply the patch to the Android one.
You'd probably just need to diff it with the original AOSP kernel and apply the patch to a newer one, like you said. But note that kernel upgrade can be troublesome. Drivers and HAL can change a lot and/or cause lots of bugs to the new kernel. So that would not be as simple as diff and applying a patch. And what makes you think that 744MHz can't run v3.x.x kernel? :) Regards, Alvin Wong cckny於 2012年8月24日星期五UTC+8上午2時53分12秒寫道： > > Hi, > I have source code of device kernel (v2.6.29) and I want to run some newer > version on it.
