Welcome to the KernelManager wiki!

How do I add support for my Kernel?

You have to edit devices.json first

(send me a pull request if you are done with editing)

Create a JSONObject in "devices" Array.

Example

{

    "codenames": [ "a5", "a5chl", "a5ul", "a5dwg", "a5dug", "htc_a5", "htc_a5chl", "htc_a5ul", "htc_a5dwg", "htc_a5dug" ],
    "kernels": [
        {
            "name": "GraKernel",
            "json": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Grarak/grarak.github.io/master/grakernel/desire816.json",
            "description": "A Kernel by Grarak"
        }

    ],
    "boot": "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot"

}

Objects

• required codenames: the vendor/code name of your device
• required kernels: an array which contains the supported kernels
• required boot: the boot partition of your device (backup function)
