1.6/2.0/2.1 with the kernel that HTC just released?

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?

It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all

There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...

Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Good to know, I guess I'm like a kid in the candy store, thanks for educating me on the kernel process.

Modaco's 2.2 has the customized kernel in it now.. read the front page of the Hero forum for the link..
its very nice..

[Q] Anyone working on ice cream sandwich 4.0 for ZTE Blade?

Hi to all our dear developers,
I have started this thread to ask who all are working on development of Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for ZTE Blade?
In case you need any support in testing the ROM, I would be more than happy to volunteer.
Best,
Yatin

the honeycomb sdk was compiled for arm v6, the ics sdk was compiled for arm v7. zte blades only have an arm v6 processor.
so, we need the source code so that it can be recompiled for our arm v6 phones. There's a little bit more to it than that, so don't expect ics for the blade on the same day as the source code is released, but we need the source code before we can start work on a blade version.
hopefully we'll get a working port of cm9 (which will be based on ics).

once he's worked it out the source code for cm9 will be available, then you can use that.
using the aosp source code, once you have it booting there are still other problems to fix, like the touch screen, audio & ril.
everyone involved with cyanogenmod should be very busy fixing those problems, so it's best to leave them to it if you can't help them. they don't need to be bothered with questions.

Lineage OS?

Do you think we will have a lineageos build for huawei nova?

That would be great, but first we need a rom base for any rom....

After my exams in february I would like to try porting Lineage OS to our huawei nova...but thats not a promise, it's an "Let's try and hope.."

Too bad there was not activity on this phone yet.
I really really hoped this gonna replace my Nexus 5 ( the >5 inch / 70cm width trend sucks - phones are just too big!) - but nooope..
I had it already in the hands, good that I didn't bought it. But I maybe would if someone would work on it :laugh:

Once huawei releases kernel source I will start working on it.

Did they release those for previous phones too?
I figured since this is a snapdragon device the chance for roms will be much higher. Since they don't really release anything for their own chipsets iirc.

I think they released the kernel for many phones in the past..but you can also extract it from the stock firmware..so that shouldn't be a problem to build lineage for this device, but it takes time.. ?

BigBrains OS - I was not allowed to post inn development section

DISCONTINUED
Hi Kenzoers,
I have a great pleasure in introducing a new Android OS to the world which is based on Lineage OS Source code and I thank Lineage team very much for the device tree, kernel and ofcourse the total Source code of it. We are starting rolling out this ROM only for Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) - The SnapDragon Version as of now and soon it'll reach other popular devices as well. This ROM is named as BigBrains OS as this rom is build by BigBrains (That's us - Prast and Me. Well i'm Uvneshkumar and Prasat is my friend). Is this yet another ROM which has the features of almost any other custom ROMs? The answer is both yes and no. This ROM is almost nearly the same as that of the Lineage OS, but it has something apart from that. Well what's that? Have you ever thought of modifying something in android which you almost don't like? Or add an extra feature which you'ld love to have? May be most of you would've done the both. But how many of you have tried to implement that? Again ofcourse, many of you might have tried that also, but most of you might've failed and stopped working. Or some of you may not have enough resources to build a ROM. So why am I saying all this to you? Well, BigBrains OS is the solution to that. Sounds cool right. How? We've decided to develop BigBrains OS with the base source of Lineage OS and the idea of BigBrains OS's users. We code what you say into BigBrains OS and that'll reflect in the next update. And ofcourse this only happens if there is a good support for any new features.
We've added our own app into this ROM - BigBrains Touch - through which you can update your rom, and give us suggestions or even have funny chat with us. You'll have to check for updates manually and you will not be notified for any new update. We'll resolve this in the next update.
So why we've started this ROM? Well, it's a proven fact that "Unity is Strength". We may have some ideas which you don't like and if we add that into our ROM, you'll simply change the ROM. Right? Yes. So instead, all our users unitedly give us ideas, and you'll enjoy that in your next version. Isn't that COOL? Yes. So what are you waiting for? Give this ROM a try and give us your suggestions in BigBrains Touch app, so that we could improve ourselves.
You can find the ROM in this link. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=178249. So that's it guys. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to message us here or mail us at [email protected] or [email protected]. We'll be eagerly waiting for your messages.
Stay tuned and help us get tuned.
Thank you all.

Guys, OP is a fraud. Last time he did the same with Core Prime, with other account. He makes claims like these, and do nothing. He likes to irritate users.

Worst boot animation
Same as lineage os
Just replaced name of lineage os with bigbrains os
Universal pixel mod works perfectly

Just one question, what is special in this ROM and why we should use this ROM instead of lineage os and other custom ROMs?
Hit thanks button if I helped, here are some screen shots (universal pixel mod and nova launcher used) :-

Well, you can either try to build it yourself instead of waiting for Google or someone else to do it. Devs on xda do have a life outside of building custom rooms unfortunately so all we can do is wait it out. Plus, 9.0 isn't great unless you love apple wanna be os's

I'm not expecting a custom rom because their is no source code to build from. I'm just wondering why we don't have Dev Previews when it's apparent that they are building code for P on our device.

It's still in preview stage. I'm running it on my pixel and really don't like it.
Nexus will get it's turn when it's stable. We probably still won't see a beta, but when they finish making it an ugly iOS clone they'll roll out like any other update, then we all can go back to flashing the same roms with different names.

I know how that feels ten roms a week because you can't find one that meets all the features you want.

As far that I'm aware, neither the 6p nor the 5x will receive Android P officially from Google. Support will end on both devices with Oreo 8.1.x , other than receiving security maintenance updates and whatnot.

Bugs as in it boots but doesn't fully work? Or bugs as in it won't build? I actually just finished a build but I have no way of testing if it even boots (my usb port seems to be shot, it only charges and won't connect via adb or fastboot).
If any brave souls wish to flash it and let me know what's broken (or if it even boots at all), I'll share a link.

I could test it if you mind to share
