[Discussion] Official CyanogenMod for Merlin - Moto G 2015 General

Hello, everybody.
It's nice to be in this group and see everything that the developers can do. I had Osprey time ago, but I decided to change it to Merlin.
Awesome change, but the development is a little bit quiet.
Now, I know Merlin have less users than Osprey, but... I think it can have official support. Please, someone who thinks the same or can help me to do this possible.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings for everyone.

[Collaborative ROM] Android 2.2 Yogurt

We must wait the AOSP stable release of Android 2.2 Froyo. After, we can start.
Official site out now: Yogurt official site
Visit the official site for all news and informations about this project.
News:
19/06: The FRF72 Froyo Beta is out for the Nexus One.
19/06: New changes on the site by Sherry123.
18/06: +500 visitors on the official site. Thanks everybody.
​
i think it s a very GOOD idea !!!
every body work on 2.1 , but if every one goes on this idea , i think we can try froyo
a unique and comon good rom
but is every developer are going to work in a same and good rom ???? that is the question
they all have a good experience in 2.1 so why not a 2.2 ..... now
As far as I can tell this is allready happening with the abyzou rom. I recon 5-6 ppl are working on it, or atleast they have been.
2.1 that is, and so far it works perfectly with the exception of the camera, being worked on though
I can help make web.
where have u seen many artists painting one peace of art?
Programming is like an art! Everyone have it own style! I doubt it would be possible to make such a team, as everyone would like to put something from his own in it, while other one wouldn't like it!
Some developer can help other, like someone could help abyzou rom to get camera and sens! Then the person who helped could use working camera/sens for his own rom.
i can be one of your testers and if i've time i can try to study something to let it work on froyo
Work in such kind of things in teams its very hard if there is no leadder,no competiton and more than 2 or 3 people.
Frist of all the leadder has to set the objectives and asign each team member a work.
As i can see in the forum there is a big
cooperative spirit and i can asume than all of you visit tattoo forums frok your contries.
We are a lot of people.
We need someone to lead all of us, someone testing, programming or weathever...
But for teamworking is better to own a laedder.

I agree.
I will make team for making colaborative ROM. Just create the rules.
i'm here
ikxdf has just made a 2.1 nearly completely functional. Support him now and then we all could work on a 2.2 porting
I m ok for testing every thing
got tattoo and teamviewer for help ........
can format for windows or ubuntu ......
with froyo , we could have google earth on tattoo lol !!! nice
I can be the "leader", but i don't want to give orders.
But, i think the ROM must be basic...
Basic, i want to say no more apps installed (as Twitter, ...) just, basic apps.
Then, i think we cam make a team with a lot of developers even if each developer has his way of...
The Tattoo community is welded, i'm sure of that.
But everyone must play a whole...
What do you think honestly about that?
I'll modify first post if people are ok for try this big project...
I m ok for that
i have not lot "competences" but can help with the few one ......
so we got a leadder (gabsx23)
i thnik that your mission is give peaople work to do.
and fix the priority objectives, a kind of primary mission.
as the itilian developers team (alberto, ikxdf ... you know them all) is finish right now the eclair version (its awesome guys) i would focus on froyo...
i propose as primmary mission to do a bootable version of froyo...
what dou you think guys?
and gabsx ,it would be great to start with creating a froyo rom post start as soon as possible in a tiddy way.
(im sorry for my bad english...)
well dudes... lets start.
will you start from N1 update.zip?
We can but it's not the good release...
The good version of Froyo coming soon (Google say ^^).
But we can start with an other 2.2 official ROM and wait.
I just want already to make a good team for preparing that.
Do you think is it a good idea?
Yes, why do the job 2 times? better waiting for the "real" stable version..

Would like to help, but why don't you wait until the froyo source comes out??

AOSP rom

Hey guys, I am coming here to ask you all a question. I got my phone unlocked earlier this week and have an interest in learning how to program in AOSP and even help with the CM14.1 build process. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to how to learn to do that? It would be greatly appreciated. I have a really good computer I built and I know a little bit in the coding department and know a good amount with Linux, and so on. It would be a real blessing. Thanks.

Check out the thread at the Android Builders Collective. They are a bunch of exceptionally talented folk & can provide lots of guidance in building. It would also be amazing to have an ABC (Pure Nexus based) ROM for our A7s.
Good luck!

that absolutely would be amazing. Just the AOSP with GAPPS flashed afterwards and maybe try to get the bugs worked out. I'm not sure if i want to do a cm14.1 build or something more complex. All depends i guess.

Developers, we need your help

Many people are looking for a smartphone with a great cost-benefit and able to meet all our needs. Sincerely? The answer for many would be the Mido. But there are a lot of people who need a more portable smartphone, which can be handled with just one hand without problems. These people decided to bet on the Redmi 4 Prime, which has practically the same characteristics and very similar parts. However, its development was not as great as its bigger brother, and recently one of the top developers abandoned the device, leaving a lack of content. So, I come to you, to that you kindly port some ROMs from the very similar brother to our smartphone. I think we will give you all the attention you deserve, because only those who do not have something know the true importance of things.
+1
+1 , would love to see some of the greatest developers on Mido working on the Redmi 4 Prime !
+1
That would be a relief for thousands of Redmi4 Primes and their owners!!
Really?u came here to request redmi note 4 developers to port rom for redmi 4 prime,with ur funny reason of one hand usability.Sry but developers of redmi note 4 not only work for its roms but also updating it frequently and now with android o's arrival do u really expect anyone to help u out?.The only people who can help you all are redmi 4 prime user themselves
You should be able to easily port Mido ROM's as it's same SoC, weird that nobody has tried it.
+1.
How many threads like this we will see in Redmi Note 4 section?
I can understand ask for help to fix some bug but not request to port whole rom to different device. If you think that is easy because they are "similar", then port by your own rom from Mido to your device.
I think it's not a real request that just somebody build roms for the RM4P.
Problem is that the RM4P wont be supported very good in future because xiaomi just pulled it from the market (nougat update is not shure)
I think it would be very very useful to get a clear view on which source parts can be used for both smartphones.
Could result in some very nice sinergy effects. TBH RM4P would gain a lot more out of it... but who knows
I think there is no reason to keep device development separted when the devices are so similar
And TBH #2: I can clearly see where your restrains come from. A lot of xiaomi users are just whining all the time. Its like a bunch of kids (anybody who knows the miui.com forum might know what Im talking about)
But it would be really sad if we would miss the opportunity for sharing/caring for our two devices because of that

Well, we need to have at least a kernel to make a good kernel for use so dev can make at least one rom possible if possible, I know it's difficult to carry a ROM for a smartphone that you do not have, imagine making a ROM without knowing it , I would do it if I had conditions and knowledge about but I do not have, so we are asking for help we want at least an official 100% functional ROM
c'mon dude... what's wrong with those r4p guys that jusk ask for help...
if you can't help them better to be quiet instead of insulting them or asking them to go away...
btw for r4p guys:
I think it will be very hard dude... yes, our device share same SoC (Snapdragon 625)
but I've look into it, we have different display, touch module, camera...
there is other components too like fingerprint, modem, wifi, bluetooth, battery, etc... I'm not sure it's same between r4p and rn4.
You could try to flash one of the kernel or even rom here, but it's very dangerous and I think no one want to take the risk
It'd be great help if any developer can build a stable kernel for markw out of mido. R4p's own kernel source can help with that.
I am also a redmi 4 prime user and would love if there is something that could be done.

we ask for your help since you're a bigger community. and you have like 5 official ROM's, and we have none. if you don't know, our dev @Razziell quit because he hadn't enough money to continue. his sources are good, so if you want to help its not from scratch - we have his sources.
unfortunately r4p community doesn't have many devs(if at all) to do this job.
maybe if one dev from here talk with Razziell or help him , he might convince him to stay.
we really sorry to bother you guys with those threads, but understand our situation

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?
C'mon guys!!!
Any good dev out here?? We have a good kernel.
Not fair that Note 4x as more roms and his little brother don't!! <3

Why not fair? Unfair is your stipulation and pretensions. Its simple: more popular device = more devs = more custom roms.
This thread should be closed because if devs will want to help - they will and pretensions like above will not change anything.
I recommend you guys start taking the initiative and learn to build the kernel yourselves.

Now what?

Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.
sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.
hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support
bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".
@McFy any news?
please share a working process of unlock bootloader without asus unlock tool apk....i m waiting for 3 years

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.
Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!
So, another month's passed. Any news?
anyone in contact with the developer?
so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
