how to compile a kernel for my old vodafone 858 smart / Huawei 8160 #5

As a family practice doctor, your app could be useful for getting medical notes from my personal device onto the EMR on a locked corporate network.

I would like to learn how to compile a kernel for my old vodafone 858. Before getting my current phone, I found a youtube video detailing the process to flash CM9 which gave the 858 a new lease on life for a while.

I have read your instructions to launch commands on github from a linux box. I have previously run ubuntu from a CD/DVD but I would like to ask if that is the right idea or not as I am in unfamiliar territory and could use a little help please.

Hi. It seems like you'll have to build Cyanogenmod with my patch yourself - you don't need to flash everything you've built, only boot.img. Here are instructions: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_u8160 Apply this patch to kernel sources before compiling Cyanogenmod: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/blob/master/kernel-3.1.patch using command patch -p1 < kernel-3.1.patch There are chances that the patch will not apply cleanly, because the kernel may be too old, likely 2.9.

Thank you. If the 858 smart is too old to have a 3.1 kernel, perhaps I had better try my current phone instead. This is a vodafone smart mini - 875 comes up on the play app store, but I am unsure of the model number.
