Samsung has removed the download for some legacy devices including most of the trlte variants. The initial tag is an untouched upload of the kernel.zip for the SM-N910V. Mirror of the original zip from Samsung.

I'm not a developer nor do I have any formal education regarding Android development (or anything else). These notes are here just for convenience. Some information could be inaccurate and I welcome any input/corrections.

Kernel Specs

• Linux kernel v.3.10.40
• Device = trltevzw
• Firmware = N910VVRU2CQL1
• Recommended Toolchain = arm-eabi-4.8

---

• Google's prebuilt gcc arm-eabi-4.8 toolchain (mirror):

  git clone [email protected]:kevintm78/arm-eabi-4.8.git
  

• Build Tools

  sudo apt install git-core ccache automake lzop bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev g++-multilib python3-networkx libxml2-utils bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool dpkg-dev liblz4-tool make optipng gnupg flex libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip fontconfig

Fix for "/usr/bin/env 'python' no such file or directory"

• AOSP suggestion If your Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS is a newly installed (vs. upgraded) Linux version:

  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
  

• Above fix works with certain distros, but if not try:

  sudo apt install python-is-python2
  

• python-all was needed once, but probably just a fluke...

  sudo apt install python-all

Environment Variables:

Warning-These could be as inaccurate as everything else in this readme.

export USE_CCACHE=1                                     #Android 9 and below just needs this one
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="$HOME/Android/Sdk"             #Path to some dumb kevin. For when I get lost.
export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE=""$HOME/path/to/salvation"   #Set this for common out directory for Android builds
export PATH="$HOME/android-studio/jre/bin:$PATH"        #This is needs to set for building Magisk
export PATH="$HOME/.bin:$PATH"                          #This is where I install repo.
export ALLOW_FILE_DISCOVERY=1                           #Self explanatory
export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4g"  #this is for my lack of ram

export CCACHE_EXEC=$(command -v ccache)                 #Android 10+ only??!!
