Why are there so many different Android kernels (technical answer please) From what you are saying the drivers are not all compiled as modules but integrated into the Kernel itself, so even if CM gets a working kernel on a device it can not simply "move the XXX modules" to the new build and have it work because there may not be XXX moduels. The drivers must be hunted down, hacked (possibly), and recompile. |

Why are there so many different Android kernels (technical answer please) Yes but why the need to hack. If they work with the OEM kernel, why can't you just move the driver files and associated libraries to the Cyanogen mod installation since the kernel is basically the same. |

Why are there so many different Android kernels (technical answer please) What I mean is for example with CyanogenMod there are always complaints of my wifi, bluetooth, etc doesn't work. Why do these drivers have to be "ported" to CyanogenMod. Why can't they just take the stock drivers, copy them to the device, and run them with CyanogenMod |

What are the /firmware and /efs partitions on Samsung devices I read that link before posting here. I do not have an IMEI as I use a CDMA phone. There are a lot of "nv items" I can edit through a tool called QXDM however I'm not sure if they are reading from the same EFS partition. Is this partition completely separate of the Android OS and actually a separate NVRAM chip that holds radio information? |
