check-kernel-config on halium 11
-
Hello, I started the port of a7y17lte (Samsung galaxy A7 2017) using the halium 11 kernel. (The latest android version provided by samsung is 8 and NOT 8.1. Therefore I'm using lineage os 18.1 which uses android 11) I noticed that the halium-boot repo doesn't have a halium-11 branch. Only master and halium 9. It's also not in the repo file. What should I do for the kernel config file, since it needs to be changed?

@arashkinubports My honest answer is: We dont know. Halium 11 is work in progress, you can try the checker from 9 or 10 and see how far you come

@flohack Thank you for the reply. I honestly would start from halium 9. But I remember reading somewhere in the docs that the installed version of android needs to be the same as the halium version being built on. Can I get some context for this statement? Maybe I read it on a part unrelated to porting ubuntu touch or something.

@arashkinubports its a safeguard to match all partitions that are flashed by an Android version to your Halium build. There are a ton of partitions that we are not touching with UT.
You can also try to get away by not doing this step.

@flohack I see... then it's not a complete necessity, thank you very much.
