I am the current lead developer of the Replicant project, which aims to provide a fully free Android version for a bunch of devices (mostly Google phones).
Recently, I obtained a GTA04 device, which is actually an OMAP-powered replacement board for the GTA02/Openmoko Neo FreeRunner phone, in order to provide newer hardware in the same spirit as the Neo FreeRunner (basically, providing the first phone running fully free software on CPU). GNU/Linux ports to the GTA04 have already started and Replicant is in charge of porting Android (we are CyanogenMod-based though) to the GTA04. There is a stable 3.2 kernel[1] that most GNU/Linux distributions are using and that we wanted to use for Android too. Though, we didn't find any official Android-enabled 3.2 kernel so we are wondering what to do. I guess people here can give good advices to help us figure out the best way to do things. Android repos[2] provide 3.0 and 3.3 kernels with Android parts. We have already started to backport Android commits regarding adb and usb composite from 3.3 to the 3.2 kernel[3] but it doesn't work well: see [4] and host dmesg output [5]. I have the same problem when importing linaro's omap 3.2 androized kernel commits[6]. I couldn't tell what the problem exactly is here but adb doesn't recognize the device and neither does lsusb. Though, if I disable Android USB gadget, USB networking works just fine.
