Question

Where can I get the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) kernel source code?

While this might be a stupid question that some people have asked before, I can’t seem to find a suitable answer anywhere because:

• Google decided to be really useful and redirect android.kernel.org to http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html, which includes every single part of Android apart from the kernel. I do not understand the logic behind that.

• git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git does something weird and creates a massive (600 MB+) .git folder without creating the source tree. I don’t give two shits about the git repo, I just need the source tree.

• All the kernel forks on GitHub are horribly outdated.

Answer 1

Watch the android source code hosted on Github.
