| Aug 8, 2017 at 1:59 | comment | added | Guerlando OCs | @DanHulme are the source changes patches or just code changed by hand? How can I see things that changed? I've read that you can patch your linux kernel to be compatible with android, but where are those patches so I can read them? | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 9:29 | comment | added | Dan Hulme | @GuerlandoOCs I'm not sure what you think drivers are if not a source code change, but regardless, the "other additional functionality" I mentioned is quite big these days. There are many source code changes. | |
| Aug 4, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | Guerlando OCs | " A kernel for Android is a mainstream Linux kernel, with additional drivers for the specific device, and other additional functionality, such as enhanced power management or faster graphics support", so it's mainly drivers? No source code changed? | |
