Hi, Thanks for the tips, will try them out! The reason why I want to modify the kernel is to enable modules loading/unloading in Android Developer Phone.
Is there any way to load/unload modules in the Android Developer Phone? In emulator it can be done through the adb shell. But suppose I have a module for Android, how can I <insmod> this module in the developer phone?
