Copy the output of building the kernel(mydroid/kernel/common/arch/ arm/ boot/zImage, this directory?) and replace the directory "mydroid/ prebuilt/Android-x86/kernel " or this directory(mydroid/prebuilt/ android-arm/kernel)? replace the whole directory? > If you're only working on the kernel without changing the rest of the > system, I'm sure there are some shortcuts, but I don't know what they > are. I searched around. Flashing kernel and Android source looks similar. confused. I am using Nexus S and building Gingerbread, following the steps in Android source project website to flash the image into the Nexus S. This means this operation of flashing will cover the kernel ,right? with prebuilt. On the other hand, if I only flash the modified Android linux kernel and follow some shortcuts like this http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-ke..., will it affect the Android source running on phone? or it is totally separated?
