Kernel Source Code Discussion

Honor 7 (PLK-L01) Kernel Source Code Discussion​
Hello, honorable Honor 7 users , I hope you all are using this device to the fullest, now I'm starting this thread to discuss about the kernel source code for our beloved device. There are a lot of benefits from it.
1. We can create a master tree for our device.
2. After creating the tree we can create various branches of different custom ROMs, so that we can compile them from it.
3. We can add different CPU Govereners to our device to unleash its better performance, or better stability.
4. ETC. ETC.
There are still more benefits from the kernel source code.

Having The Honor 7 Kernel Source Codes Is Extremely Important For Development
Thank you for posting about that.
Indeed having the Android kernel source codes of (Huawei Honor 7 - PLK-L01) will help a lot in the development and porting process.
I am going to contact Huawei support team today to see when they are willing to share the source codes.
For anyone who is interested in this, please reply to this post and try to contact them too pointing your interest in having them.
This would be the most important step towards having custom ROMs on this amazing device.
Special thanks for "DigiGoon" to bring that up. :good:

Source Code
Yes, absolutely right @kenshiwara we can create custom ROMs and can tweak them to make this device even more better.
So guys, if more and more people will demand for the source code from Huawei then more closer we will get to have a custom ROM out of it, and I think that this device will gain much popularity after the company releases it worldwide, so we will get more and more developers working on it on different ROMs, but for that we need kernel source, so please contact Huawei for the same it's for our good only.

its funny,
I sent a email to them, on Monday asking the same thing (no reply thought) and was going to start a post about it , guess i was beaten to it
I really like this device, and would be a shame if not customs roms are available

A petition will make zero difference. Honor UK and EU staff are well aware that they need to provide GPL code but they have to wait for the software team in China to provide the files. No point hassling them on social media etc as it won't make the code magically appear.
And even if we had kernel source it does not mean that custom ROMs will appear!
If you expected to be able to run custom ROMs then I'm sorry but you bought the wrong device.

Having the source can mean that developers can make custom ROMs and flash it through twrp. I get your point that there is a lack of developers for this device, but I would like to mess around with the source, and see if I can create a ROM (only ported mtk ROMs in the past and modify some files in the past, which would require some learning)
And I didn't buy this device for custom ROMs, but it would be nice to have some

As, I said earlier, with kernel source we can create tree, and out of the master tree we can create branches for various custom ROMs, and well in past I have made a ROM without kernel source, and made a tree for my other device(XOLO Play T1000), and successfully flashed via TWRP, it was having problems with network, wifi, so didn't made it to xda so, I think after having the source code we can create something

As we said before, having the Android kernel source codes will massively help in the porting and development process.
It is within the development cycles of Huawei to release the source codes at a certain stage. Let's hope though, that they can release them soon.

It's annoying me that Huawei are still unable to respect the GPL by releasing kernel source on time whenever there has been a firmware update. It's even more annoying for my friends that work for Huawei in the UK who are pretty passionate about the devices and eager to help the community out but are sadly at the mercy of the Chinese office that are reluctant to provide any source. I really don't understand why they are being like this, since they have recently been supportive of Cyanogenmon on some devices as well as the Nexus 6P.
What possible reason could Huawei have for witholding the code for the Honor 7? I'm starting to wonder if Huawei have incorporated code into the kernel that isn't compatible with the GPL or is completely closed source.

Even then, they should have made an statement about it, but what would stop them to lie about it?
They could also broke some patents with the phone, so they are trying to cover it up by not releasing the code

Whole AOSP is under GPL so i think they should release it

I signed it too. Let us home Huawei will release the source code, but like flibblesan said, I have my doubts about a quick release

Thank you for your comment and for your supporting this topic.
As they had released the source codes for Honor 6, there is no reason for them to not share the codes of Honor 7. As @DigiGoon have stated, they replied to his tweet already and never denied the idea or his request.
It would be nice if anyone who is interested in having the source codes and supporting the developers who are willing to work on porting ROMs for this device to comment on that tweet, share it and like it. :laugh:

Yes, throw it everywhere so that more users will know about it, and new developers emerges out of somewhere, hopefully we will get the source code soon

Thank you very much for doing that! :good:
Yes, Huawei supports the open source community. They had released most of their previous Android kernel source codes including Honor 6 in the past.
Hopefully it is just a matter of time before they release the codes of honor 7. We are very excited to start working on a ROM.

Signed from by side too but I don't have any hope of any release...

Thank you very much for your support! As they released the source codes of the previous model, there is no logical reason for them not to release them for this one.
They do respect the open source community and hopefully they will release soon.
Have faith and stay optimistic about it

I've bought this phone today, i really hope Huawei provide source code for Custom ROM.
And I've already signed the petition
Edit : Huawei doesn't provide any CPU source code, just EMUI source code...

Requirement of Paranoid Android Rom (AOSPA) for Moto G4 Plus

Hello everyone, the Paranoid Android (AOSPA) team has released their much awaited nougat 7.1.2 build for a handful of devices. Is it possible for the developers to port the rom to our Moto G4 Plus? If so, when can we expect to receive an official AOSPA rom for our device i.e Moto G4 Plus? Thanks in advance to the developers.

Athene is a pretty popular choice around ROMing. (LineageOS has 20795 installs on Athene) I would at least expect an unofficial build made by someone. Let's just hope they release an official build for Athene.

I have come to know that the team officially doesn't provide support for too many devices except Oneplus, Oppo, Pixel and the Nexus ones. So the chance of getting an official build is less. So in that case we have to look for an unofficial build.

Just wondering is there any update on Aospa for athene, official or unofficial?
:good:

Maybe this mean something. I dont know.

Hello... 'been using this phone for over a year now here is a clean build.prop from 6055B variant!
Also i'd like to help somehow, but I don't know how... I have zero Android dev experience (not really... last phone I ever modded was OT-918D *eons* ago, so it might as well be zero) but i'd be happy to test-drive anything as long as UI & RILd works.
I'll chime-in on Telegram too :good:

PizzaG said:
This will be the release thread for LineageOS 14.1
***LineageOS 14.1 Test Build for the 6055K is now live on Telegram with Download Link. Bluetooth and Camera aren't working yet***
If you want it to install on other variants, you will need to modify the installer script inside the zip. I'm not going to take the time to modify every Test Build to support every model. I'm running it on 6055U. If you do want to run it on another variant of 6055 and it's not installing, contact me on Telegram and I'll run you through how to modify the installer script to install on your device.
If you have anything to offer or just want to chat, you can find us here: https://t.me/Idol4Homies
Please don't report bugs here, we'd much rather you report any issues on our Telegram Group where the Dev will be able to see. I''m helping where I can and modifying little things but LimitedPython is doing the bulk of the Developing for this phone, please show your support and stop by the group to chat and say thanks.
5-13-2019- LOS 14.1 is currently booting to ADB but not posting yet. Sorting out some GPU issues and hopefully it'll be fully booting sometime this week.
5-14-2019- LOS 14.1 booting to OS. LTE Data and phone service works. Audio and most everything else is still broken currently but being worked on. If anybody has a clue what they are doing or how to help move this along to a public release, please join us on Telegram. I have a test image for people who can lend a hand but I'm not releasing anything publicly yet.
5-17-2019- LOS 14.1 working great so far. The only things not working at this point are Camera and BlueTooth, which hopefully will both be working very soon. I'll release a test build in the next day or so, so others can test. I'll be releasing TWRP and LOS 14.1 for the 6055U and 6055K variants. If you have another model you want supported from the 6055 line, PM me.
5-19-2019- This will work on every 6055 Model guys. That means 6055K, 6055B, 6055U, 6055R and 6055P will all work with this and future roms. No need to worry about "Bricking", as I have released Alcatel Stock Flashing software which will bring most, if not all the Alcatel Qualcomm devices back from the dead.
5-20-2019- Bluetooth fixed and working

I tried to go to your Telegram link for the LOS 14.1 6055U download, but it won't work. Idk why... Could you post a link to it here or something? Thanks in advance!
**scratch that I found it on the donate page**

Hello everyone.
I possess an Alcatel Idol 4 6055K, I would be very much interested in installing Lineage OS on this smartphone but I can't find any other source on the web on how to do it except for this thread.
I understand it should be possible with a release you're posting on Telegram, but if I click on the link it seems I can't acceed to the group.
Do you have any advice on how to try this OS on this marvellous phone?

So, no chance to ever see Lineage released for Alcatel Idol 4?

Yes, 14.1 has been out for a while now and 15.1 works too, I was told that a few days ago by the Dev. Come vist us on Telegram: https://t.me/Android_General_Chat
The Dev is in there and should be able to provide you download links for Los 14.1 or 15.1
We also still need donations as the Dev has lost his Idol 4 and needs a new one to continue making Idol 4 Fully Treble

Testers wanted Ressurection Remix Pieand Oreo

I'm going to start building ressurection remix both pie and oreo for the note pro 12.2 P900 and T900. However I don't have the device at the moment. I'm looking for testers as I don't have the device so expect bugs and things to be potentially broken. I will be posting builds here and when things are more stable I will make a post in the development section. If you are interested please join the telegram group

Bless you:laugh: I'm pretty busy, but I'm willing to try when I can and give feedback. I've got a P900 wifi with twrp 3.1.1. Lineage 14.1 rooted with magisk.

That's great news.
Got a P900 v1awifi now running with TWRP 3.3.0-0, LOS 14.1 unofficial plus Magisk and nano Gapps.

I also have a P900 and I could test your builds from time to time.
Thanks a lot!!!!

will test, but at this point, focus only on pie, and at one device at once, but thanks for your efforts man

When will the ressurrection pie for samsung p900 be release here?

Thanks everyone who replied. I will try and get my hands on a device as soon as I have the money however I am an unemployed student on the plus side at least I have time to build . Pie would be simply amazing. All the sources are there so when i get time I will start building. I'm really jealous of the IPad pro on the IOS side so this is the next best thing. Pity there are no more really big android tablets to replace the note pro though. But if I can build pie it dosen't matter anyway. Once RR works and is stable I might start building some other Pie roms like Lineage OS 16 or AOSP Extended

Add me to the list of testers.

I will build as soon as possible hopefully by weekend. I first need to fix my broken unbootable manjaro(linux) system once that is done I'll start building. I hope to get the first unnoficial build up by monday. Fixing bugs will be interesting as I don't have the device and I'm new to android development . It's also end of semester and I have deadlines that need to be met. I'll do my best though. I will post the testing builds on this thread I'll setup a telegram or discord where people can report issues.

I have a P900 running Lineage 14.1 (not sure what version of TWRP).
Anyway I am willing to be a tester.
I am not familiar with generating logcats (or any other logging software) but I am willing to help.

I'll test. P900

I would like to participate as well. As I see so far, I would be the only one for the T model

p900 pie please

Sorry guys the build has been pushed back till next week anyone interested in being a tester feel free to join my telegram group I have setup. I will release builds on xda as well as on the telegram channel. Any questions feel free to ask on telegram rather than XDA. Ressurection remix Unnoficial by minilandl

any update on the pie builds? I im not asking for an ETA, but want some info if there are some compiler bugs or somting like that? And how's ure pc doing?

"Haven't Tried just saying thankyou and being nice .I will never buy a samsung device as I dont like the company and how everyone buys them and becides the Oneplus 3 has much better development. "
I have a sm-p900. What made you change your mind?

Please release pie for this device.

Development of Lineage OS 17.1 & OrangeFox

Hi everyone, I decided to develop LineageOS 17.1 and OrangeFox recovery for Nokia 6 for personal use. Anyone interested?
EDIT:
Hi guys, I apologize for my absence but I have been busy with my life and work. The project is going well, I have removed several errors due to the source code of the device
LineageOS build will be 18 with Android 11, get ready! I need your support to continue

sure, why not I was waiting to someone to make custom rom (A10+) for this device for so long. glad that your developing this for us. thank you very much! goodluck~ ?

Yeah. We are waiting for custom roms for this device. Good luck. Happy compiling. ?

I'd love to have android 10 on my Nokia 6! Are you targeting the 2017 Nokia 6, or the newer 6.1? I'd love to help but I don't know much about android roms/rom porting. I have a TA-1033 as my daily driver, so I could test builds on that (if they don't brick my phone :^) ). Good luck!

yes of course we're interested with your initiative! looking forward on your progress & good luck!

Count me in!

Nokia 6 TA-1025 (2017) and I'm all in!

Count me in too, can't wait for the first beta version, im using Nokia 7 TA-1021.

Of course, OP! In the EOL of device, what would be better than a custom ROM support. Good luck in your development, OP.
P.S.: I suggest checking pirrat25's PLE device tree to start. They got things already working there.

Yes, very much interested. Looking forward to your custom ROM! Please keep us posted always.

Hello, during the lockdown I've tried to port Lineage OS 17.1 to our device, unfortunately after the build process I wasn't able to make it boot successfully.
The source trees that I used are on Github.
Device tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_device_nokia_PLE
Vendor tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_vendor_nokia_PLE
Kernel tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_kernel_nokia_msm8937
This was my first attempt ever to port a custom ROM on a device so I may have done some simple mistakes that some more experienced developer can spot
I cannot dedicate too much time on this project right now but I will be glad to help if somebody wants to keep this going.

FYI: 4PDA links are prohibited on XDA forums

If I'm being honest, the Nokia 6 2017 is one of the best mid range phones out there and it is sad that only one developer is taking interest in this phone. I think it's because of the robust bootloader and more. Yes, Nokia messed up so bad on the Android Pie update. WE NEED MORE DEVELOPERS ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.

Any updates about project?
