Hi So I figured it out. Inside the setup.c I just hardcoded a subtraction of 1GB for memory bank 5. Just need it to simulate a full HD device with only 1 GB memory, Have already configured the new kernel with all the new Kitkat memory optimization options and it looks really good in terms of memory footprint.
But thanks for the hints :-) Regards Thorbjørn On Thursday, November 21, 2013 10:18:41 AM UTC+1, Thorbjørn Vynne wrote: > > Hi > > I'm currently testing out the new Kitkat release on the new Nexus 7 (2013) > and need to create a kernel that simulates the devices only having 1GB > available rather than 2GB.
