Hello friends.
As all of us see, LG released their KitKat sources long time ago. Our great developers like @dr87 @Savoca @houstonn and others made it with Their hard work to merge them so we have two stable / nearly stable roms: Mahdi and PA. But what with other roms? Most of the roms are based on CM, so they still have bugs.. During months, CM doesn't seem to have done ANYTHING.
So my question is, how about to send a message (or spam, in any way u name it) by all of us to CM, to the maintainer? We have official support, but in fact it's "support without support" in my opinion. Maybe after these messages they would finally start to do something, because it's like they forgot about G2...
Regards.
EDIT: so we have a way to contact => https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
now we should make a well, polite message so everyone would copy it and drop there.
Another way it would be to ask the maintainer directly https://plus.google.com/+RicardoCerqueira
EDIT2: I gave a comment to Ricardo on Google+ here https://plus.google.com/+RicardoCerqueira/posts/4dc8kVBYuTq feel free to do it as well
The best bet would be to create an improvement note at their so called "Bug Tracker" considering that they are doing this for free, this would be the most polite form.
I support this initiative, but today be entirely honest M6 for me is almost bug free, fast and battery efficient.
Up to date sources is great, but if a rom is working well, I don't care if the sources are old!

I personally had CM for some time, and it never was so stable as Mahdi R1 which i have now. Besides that, a lot of roms like Carbon or Slim can't be simply updated from CM sources, so they still have bugs.

Thanks, so anyone is, i would say, good in kind speaking to prepare a message?
Oh and we could also use Google+ and ask the maintainer directly https://plus.google.com/+RicardoCerqueira
Replyed 2 times to posts in his google + account with message " When LG G2 is going to have updated KK sources? A lot of people are waiting for bug-free CM and CM-based 4.4 ROMs ". I hope that all you guys do the same.Cheers

Just to clarify, roms that are based on CM do not need CM to upgrade to 4.4.2 sources. The upgrade is done in the device tree / vendor files and kernel. The rom source does not need any changes and each rom maintainer for the G2 has the power to upgrade their rom to 4.4.2 G2 sources without CM doing anything, they just need to figure out the specific device tree bugs for each rom and fix them.
I am under the impression you think CM needs to upgrade in order for CM based roms to upgrade, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :good:

apparently theres a bit of confusion, there was some one nightly where the rotation wasnt working with the jb baseband, (im gussing on that nightly he used the kk source ) because flashing the kk baseband on that build fixed the rotation issue, but im not quiet aware of what the situation is ince im back on stock. anyways ill be swinging it on the latest nightly just to clarify my doubts. and im pretty sure they just want the maintainer to switch to kk source , btw nice to see you here hope your cooking something great for us

Well, in the past I had some Android phones, and CyanogenMod was always first with upgrading everything, and then other developers were basing their ROMs on these updates. I mean, they updated everything, end other ROMs were updated fast. They're not giving support which they were giving in the past, that's all.

Oh
The kernel has been open sourced, by CM, as any OEM should do when device hits retail. That means a great step for us, ROM developers. We may discuss findings for reference on future development here.
Link to source code: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974
By the way, it's not only useful for the OnePlus One, seems that it's interesting for Find 7 as they borrow some code from it, worthy to read.
Oh Gr8 news ! Hope we could get custom kernel on OPO soon

Mind putting together the flashable zip of the stock kernel so that users who go custom kernel flashing (Franco for now) can fall back to the stock kernel?
A flashable .zip would be great
@SferaDev Thanks for this, I will be using this to build a kernel for our devices
Gamma control is out:

I'm a bit confused.
So far, I know of two kernel sources: This one and AOSP-compatible sources released by OnePlus directly (OnePlusTech on github, can't post links at my postcount).
However, there are already custom kernels that claim to only work with CM11S, and others that claim to only work with CM11. I assume the latter are based on this source. So what's the current (official) branch for CM11S?

OnePlus AOSP is really new and I personally recommend CMs one. Their original intention was to keep as CM as possible...

So kernels that don't work with the stock ROM are just based on a newer revision of the kernel in CM's repo, and older revisions in there would boot CM11S just fine?

We will see, it is very hard to port when kernel is not given. There are people working on it and doing a very good job!
Sadly, the complete kernel (custom kernel with drivers) was leaked for a short period and a few devs have it.. but they are afraid to use or publish it because they don't want to be sued.

Wow didnt know that, really the full source kernel was leaked??? And some devs have it D:?. If its true i hope they decide one day to make a nice ROM build, i guess everyone of us would wait for that

At least someone has it.. I am not so sure on how many have it. Don't be too excited yet, we might not get it (soon). The source can not just be published to the public, the one who does will face some problems.. (see what happened to incomplete source).

May i ask what happened?. And i know is not that easy, what i meant is that he (or they) could make a nice ROM build with that source, maybe as an anonymus guy or something like that, is not necesary to publish full source code. Our another hope is wait for MTK to release it , but it wont be soon, even could never happen

We can build roms ourselfs, just need proper kernel. Just let me say that much: I have a reliable source that told me someone has it. I don't think (anymore) it was leaked to the public ever, all kernel leaked on git were incomplete.
All kernel sources I've seen for X10 are not for our device. Another thing is the AOSP sources are very buggy and unfinished.
I finally made progress on my AOSP 5.1 and fixed the slow app launch (maybe you've seen one youtube video posted here - this is my build).
Unfortunately I don't have kernel source for Redmi Note 2 and it is impossible to build a custom kernel, so I'm trying to finish the ROM and will use prebuilt kernel.
If you think it is easy as porting, then you're wrong. Compiling something from source and fixing all bugs is completely different animal.
CM 12.1 also booted, but a lot of work needs to be done there too.

Check the date and please stop posting same thing again and again. This is the original broken half source that was leaked over 2 months ago now.

What is time to wake? On miui time is long :/ On our last phone (A820) time to wake is much better.
How aboute "tap to wake"? What is result on antutu? When you publish rom?
AOSP boots up and works faster than MIUI and also has much much better ram management, although it would be good if we could make a custom kernel.
Tap to wake normally needs to be supported in kernel, so the answer is "no".
Antutu score is irrelevant, but normally I get about 48K with the basic model. I've seen higher, seen lower.
It also depends on kernel.
Don't forget that for A820 I have a custom optimized kernel.

Hey guys was just wondering if there any developers who are working on some new ROMS for our MXP as it seems very quiet in the development sections of the forums, couple of variations of stock rom and that's pretty much it.
Was expecting for development to pick up after the MM but its been VERY quiet.
Not a complaint just wondering if there are things going on behind the curtains like development being done or some CM13 or anything along those lines.

Having MM OTA out is not enough.
Not much can be done until Motorola will release the kernel source

They are required to release any changes to the kernel they have made due to the GPL license that the linux kernel is protected by. so its not a matter of if but when.
MM and now kernel source released, and still, slow as hell. Sucks. I thought this phone would be one of the most active in development, was i wrong.

Hello everyone.
http://download.jgcaap.xyz/files/bullhead/cm-13.0/
Would like to request if possible if someone could test this build
This build is based on CM device tree kernel and blobs, which shouldn't cause any issues on flashing.
As a test, please remember i'm not responsible to any damage which might occurr.
The worst thing might happen is not booting.
This rom is like flashing a CM nightly.
I'm interested on expanding my work between diferent devices. So please let me know how it goes.
Please list the bugs.
F2FS is compatible with this device?

The only thing considered stock is direct from the manufacturer, LG or Google. CM is not a stock OS, therefore if you are distributing the binary (boot.img) in your link then you must post a link to the kernel source compiled to make it. Otherwise you need to remove the boot.img and let people get their own kernel.
Thanks

Hello @jgcaap
i will test and report back
thanks for supporting 5x and 6p (i have both)
edit: i'm using F2FS and un-encrypted. I've had to change the kernel to jolla's, to make it boot. It does not boot on stock kernel.
everything else seems to be working fine.
