Video Tutorial Shows You How to Add Some Features to Your Kernel

Kernel development is undoubtedly one of the most popular and important types of development here on XDA. There are literally thousands of kernel projects available on this site, spread across almost every supported device forum. Creating something original definitely isn’t easy, but given the Linux kernel’s open source nature, it’s easy to learn and incorporate external features into your own builds.

If you ever wondered how to make your favorite kernel even better, you are in the right place to learn! XDA Forum Member srsdani created yet another great video tutorial. This time, srsdani shows viewers how to play with kernel and add some things like CPU governors and I/O schedulers.

There is also a short video explaining how to use the make menuconfig option, which is very useful if you want to add some new features to existing kernel source. After following the steps shown in these videos, you should get ready to flash your new kernel image with the newly added functions. Then once you’ve gotten the hang of things, you can try with other features.

If you are eager to learn some of the basics regarding kernel development such as adding governors and schedulers, visit the original thread.
