Do it yourself. WP Internals supports 625, unlock bootloader, flash lk and twrp and you're ready to go.

I dont think its that easy as the project only supports 525,520 and different varients of same same device but not
Lumia 625 or lumia 535
Do it yourself.. I would've if I had such knowledge about making ROMS.

Is it possible for an Android /MeeGo duel boot on our devices?
This would at least need a modified bootloader for dualboot and porting megoo would BA a major effort since all closed source drivers would have to be ported...

[Q] Running SailfishOS on non-Jolla phones?

Hi all,
Is there any chance to run Sailfish OS on a non-Jolla phone? I would prefer a bigger screen and I'd prefer to not wait for their phone.
Assuming that the drivers from Android are compiled for the same Linux kernel version as I want to run in Sailfish, they should be loadable.
So then it's just a question of whether Sailfish is written to use the same devices (in /dev) in the same ways.
Anybody know?
Cheers.

First of all, Sailfish is not yet released to public, and most propably wont be before Jolla phone hits markets. So you can't get it before

Nobody knows yet, because nobody hasn't been able to have a look at it, since it hasn't been released. But I doubt that the kernel would match, since it doesn't even match on different Android phones. There are always some minor changes.

Yes i think it will be possible run Sailfish on non-Jolla phone, anyway you should wait because there is no image for arm cpu in public.

in android devices in /dev very often is used from binary blobs.
and this blob compiled againts another libc called bionic and it is not compatible with glibc, but Jolla phone will use android drivers via special library.

Well, the Sailfish OS runs on linux kernel thats for sure and soon it will have the capability to run almost all of the android apks, which means it can not be totally different form android form 'under-the-hood' so there is always some room to try it on your android devices.
I haven't really tried to explore Sailfish OS much, but if u do, plz tell me and I would like to do it on my phone (Moto xt910).
If you come across any guide for installing Sailfish OS on non-jolla phones, plz post the links here.

running apk doesn`t mean anything, i can run apk on my windows 7.
internaly it is GNU Linux, not android.

you should understand that nobody care about your motorola or what ever device you own. 3.5 developers that can build nemo mobile image will not do it just because of your request.
If I remember right the first demo shown of it was on a nexus phone. so of course it will run on android phone.

I just remember seeing a video demo of it on youtube and the guy giving the demo said it was running on a galaxy nexus. I don't have the link but you could find it easily on youtube.

Silica components and that fancy home screen are not open source
I must admit I really like this OS.. even if it is similar to blackberry 10 for some aspects.. if this os will be avaiable for rooted android phones, i will certainly install it on mine!
I'd install it fast if my phone could get this (LG L5), but I think it's too weak on it. Maybe Sony Ericsson xperia neo would take this.

since the N9 port of Sailfish OS is now available:
h**p://jollausers.com/2013/12/the-comprehensive-guide-to-port-sailfish-to-n9/
and the arm chipset in the N9 (OMAP3630) is equal to many Android devices like the Defy+ h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP it would be nice to hear that someone begins with the porting to other Android devices. Hopefully also for my Droid 4 (OMAP4430).

Does the Mx5 have any sort of dev support?

Basically the title!
I'm thinking of getting an mx5 here in India! Coming from Nexus, Cant get myself to use anyother environment other than stock! Is there any AOSP or AOKP or CM builds for this ? I did a Brief search and found no support!
Thanks in Advance!
Meizu MX5 has locked bootloader, we need a way to unlock it to start the development

Gotcha, So, even if we were to unlock the bootloader, We still don't have the kernel sources right? Its a mediatek helios SoC, and AFAIK they haven't released the sources, Right?

Yes but without sources we can build roms. The problem is that maybe there would be something that cant be fixed in the rom, or requires an extensive reverse engineering.
You can see the cm12.1 rom for mx4, it is almost perfect. And was built without sources

Motorola Releases the Android 5.1.1 Kernel Source Code for the 2013 Moto X

Hi folks! I just read this news.. and I'm wondering if this may mean that, finally, custom ROMs won't lose anymore the ability to properly use low power cores of our SoC.
And, I know, I'm a dreamer.. could this news lead to a stable and functional Marshmallow ROM?
Cheers
If only I could unlock the bootloader on mine

No. That's something deep inside the stock rom. Kernel sources have been around a long time, just not for lollipop.

[23/09/2017][K420DS/N][Android OREO] Android OREO Booted!

Hey guys!
NEWS 1: Guys, with help of another developer we are working on the device tree. The builds currently are booting up and there are bugs to be fixed. We have currently released LineageOS 15.0 first test build only to the insiders (.i.e. testers of K10 - K420DS/N).
NEWS 2: We will also be working on K10 MS428. We will be compiling LOS 14.1 for the phone.
Source: https://github.com/LG-K10/android_device_lge_m216
does k430dsY also counts in this project, sir?
EDIT: im a pure noob both in android and english grammar

I'd also love to see the LG K10 K410 Dual or Single SIM variant ROM. Is that possible?

Good to hear that. But is the 1 or 1,5 GB of RAM enough to maintain a smooth run of the Android 7? And, well, when we can expect the earliest results? Sorry for that, but I'm really interested in this project.
Woohoo!

I will start compiling 7.1 soon
I am busy with my course projects and exams. I will start compiling it in May.
Once AOSP is available I'll gladly build and maintain LineageOS. I don't have the time to work from scratch, porting is a ton of work I'm not ready to commit to! Good luck with this, looking forward to it.
Can you post link from device tree if it's online? (Not for TWRP but for AOSP/LineageOS)

I am not ready with those yet. I am working on the device tree. Once I finish compiling LineageOS I will upload the device tree.
LineageOS/AOSP for k430 too?
Please keep on topic within this thread! Thanks all

Yeah. Later for K430/MTK.
Take my kiss, thnx; Waiting for your work.
+ I have a k430dsy device.
I'm working on the k428/ms428 variants and pvineeth97 is working on the 420 variants. Others may come down the road.
I'm building the device tree now based on a few unofficial builds for devices with the msm8909 SoC, so with some luck it may not take too much work to get it going for us. All depends on how much time I can dedicate to it.

I'm building the device tree now based on the BQ Aquarius X5 tree I forked from the LineageOS github. It has the same SoC as the K428, so with some luck it may not take too much work to get it going for us. All depends on how much time I can dedicate to it.

Right on! Good job and good luck!
Once I'm done, and have it compiled and bootable, I'll need a couple beta testers to help me iron out kinks before releasing publicly (unless of course it just works flawlessly ). This is only open to k428/ms428 owners who can competently recover from brick on their own, and are willing to produce adequate logcats regarding any issues. Hoping to have a bootable rom in the coming weeks, we'll go from there. Keep in mind bootable may mean far from stable. Many things may be broken at first. If you're not willing to dedicate the time and work to help me fix such issues (ie, camera not working, audio not working, data not working, everything not working), please don't volunteer. If you aren't competent with adb, don't know how to produce a logcat, and don't know what to do with a bricked device, please don't volunteer. I won't have the time nor patience to walk anyone through fixing their device, and work on the port. If you feel competent, you can message me with your interest.
