3. Android Implicit (foreign app) open seperate sailfish window (15 min – asked by Sugash ) (Jaymzz, 10:05:18)
   1. when an android app transfers an implicit intent to an foreign app... The foreign app opens in the same sailfish window ( in android it opens a seperate window .. which is user friendly) .The implicit intent can be caught and the app be opened in a seperate sailfish window. (Jaymzz, 10:05:26)
   2. the OP of this topic has requested us to move on if he was not available at the meeting. We will however attempt to answer it and move on instead so we can have it in the logs. (Jaymzz, 10:06:04)
   3. This is caused by either a missing feature or a bug (depending on the situation). Both can be fixed and we are looking to do this in an aliendalvik upgrade. (Jaymzz, 10:06:23)
   
   
4. how to build a » kernel-adaptation-sbj-3.4.108.xxx « myself (20 min – asked by lpr ) (Jaymzz, 10:11:15)
   1. as there are a lot of non-security related kernel patches for kernel 3.4 and 3.2, I would like to compile a kernel with some patches. So I would like to know how to deal with things needed like droid-tools-devel, mer-kernel-checks and other topics like ION and kernel-perf... (Jaymzz, 10:11:23)
   2. PLATFORM_SDK $ split_bootimg` should show the params for `mkbootimg` that could be recompressed back into boot.img but with a recompiled kernel blob. One needs to be mindful of any kernel modules that need recompiling and redeployed on rootfs too. (Jaymzz, 10:19:58)
   3. There are also tools like abootimg, unmkbootimg which could help, it is possible to compile the kernel from the defconfig and build a new boot.img from that + ramdisk and such from an existing boot.img. (Jaymzz, 10:20:04)
   4. https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels#building (Jaymzz, 10:33:16)
