Ok I'll give you a little information
1) There is a very highly likely chance that the laser-auto-focus will not work. Of course we don't know until we try but I am not confident because getting things like that which are not in common android source code is very difficult to get working.
2) There are many versions of the ZF2 laser, some come with different kernels therefore will need sources for each kernel (potentially). They also might share the same source (won't know unless I take a good look at it)
3) I am downloading the Kernel source for the ZE551KL and will upload it to github for a starting point. You can easily fork it from there into your github repo. It should be up in a day or less. By the looks of your github repo, you have a different model (one with a 410 snapdragon). Kernel sources are available from the asus.com website under support. You can download it from there for now and I can show you how to upload it to github.
4) If you plan on supporting all the ZF2 laser models, I would suggest for the device repos to make a "common" repo as they will share a lot of the same code, then have separate repos for each model for all the unique characteristics of them.
Edit: kernel uploading to my github. Internet is slow but you can see it soon by going to https://github.com/Hardslog/android_kernel_asus_zf2l

Yes. I think supported all Z2L

Thank you... we are waiting for you

How is it going?

do you can please creat a custom rom for ze500kl

There is already a custom ROM for Z00T and Z00L, and I think you should make one for a device that don't have it. Like Z00ED. Also I think you need to have the device so you can test it. No one likes broken ROMs

But.... Why u need make source for zen 2 laser?
Cyanogen have source for this.... And some device already custom.... Only ze500kl don't have.... But i think can use source of msm8916-common !

What happened to all the yoga 2 threads from ionioni and workdowg??

Hey guys, today after a long time i came back around to this subforum to see if there are any news for my yoga 2 380f but all i found were closed threads?! wtf happened?
after so many months of waiting one could finally unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery - but now even the posts in these threads are empty.... why?

I am in the mids of gathering all the files that I did manage to get before they were removed. My tab is 1050f. Have all the stuff somewhere fore it

New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 1050 soon !
Hello !
Was CLOSED because not respected XDA rules about GPL !
Almost all work here on XDA require open source code ... he preferred to erase everything he did here instead to provide source code
About TWRP :
A recovery image does contain a Linux kernel which is under GPLv2, and the TWRP source code is under GPLv3 (see the license header in https://github.com/omnirom/android_b...d-6.0/twrp.cpp)

On the other hand, tomorrow I'll provide a new TWRP 2.8.7.0 UI 6.0 for Yoga Tablet 2 1050 !
I already managed to fix kernel issue on Stock Lenovo Kernel Android L .
I already pushed all my work on my github : twrp-yt2 for TWRP 2.8.7.0 and also for kernel ! I'll update kernel very soon , because right now is stock one .
Also in a short time I'll try to make a cm-13.0 for our device .
Best regards !

Can I ask what device you are using as a Base or are you building a vendor folder from scratch
Thanks for your work. Looks like you have implemented pixel finger, I will try this later

Yes, was started from scratch... should be OK for all YT2.
Also pixelflinger for _X86 are implemented, twrp works fine. ... and sure will work on stock Lenovo kernel for Android L.
Best regards.

I take it you will solve the vendor blobs as you build to find them out?
I have twrp 3.0.0-0 source so will try with that.
You said the kernel is solved? It will build if I sync your github? Have you built a kernel yet? If so what toolchain are you using? I couldn't get it to build as it could find my toolchain.
From the branch 5.1 on your github, it won't work with cm13 source?
Again thanks for your work matey

Kernel and also twrp must be compiled along with cm-12.1.
As I already said , my kernel source cannot be compiled ...( Lenovo do not provide a complete one ), but I'll update today later in order to fix all Lenovo issues.
Best regards.

New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 - 1050 ! Source code already available !

Sources

I'm here to question the device owner. There are few sources around about this device. They are raw and they are as common always experimental. Does anyone need them?
Furthermore, I can sum up here any sources I or other get to find about this device or its periphery.

Very good thing, I'm trying to build a CM13 rom from sources and I'm not sure if I have all required sources. For now I have, kernel sources with some "vendor" files from Sony and I found all build parameters like offsets/adresses and correct cmdline (no thanks to Sony because never released or mentioned them), the device tree dumped from my device, and I will dump the vendor tree too.
Now I need the defconfig for CM (very not sure if the stock one will work) , and some files like the boardconfig and some config files. I'm using the Elephone P9000 sources for sample, almost the same device (hardware side) and source files.
If I have some time I will try to upload files to git but I never tried before (sync only)...

Don't need to hesitate. I'll try to put the directions I've gathered here up today so it is done.

I finished to upload my files to Github:
https://github.com/rrvuhpg
You will find the device, kernel and vendor files to build CM13 for F3112/F3116. For now it will not work, it's just to share and help. I successfully built and booted the Cyanogen recovery with the kernel from sources, the doors for porting new roms are open?? :fingers-crossed:
My next step is to finish the device tree, verify the vendor tree and build the rom

Can you publish some brief preview?
Need to say the sources I had just seem to be down, so can't share them.
Through which Program are these to flash? If you're that far I can hold a look at it and may join in your development.
Verification of the Vendor Files is something I was not very good at it, not even a yolk I managed.

For now the only preview I can publish are the CM13 boot and recovery "as is", I'm not sure if it can help but I will release them if someone want to port others MTK Roms on XA. ( Never booted any ported rom with the stock kernel, stuck at Sony logo)
Flashing is easy: the recovery with fastboot and Rom/boot in a single flashable zip on the SD.
The kernel sources are coming from 33.2.B.2.95 open source archive from Sony but built from the lastest CM13 and Google git sources.
The vendor tree from 33.2.B.2.93 dumped from my phone, only common files with the P9000 are on my git for now.
The device tree from P9000 sources (from @Deepflex git) but seem OK.
CM13 have Android 6.0.1, I don't know if the security patch is the last one but August for sure.
I'm not so far from a finished build (not mean fully bootable), for now I successfully build a full CM13 for the Elephone P9000 (the twin of the XA, I'm using it as base). It mean my "kitchen" is working Now I'm trying to identify the last proprietary files from all others stock/cm13 libs, modify make files and cross my fingers it will fully build without errors.
You can join me no problem all people are welcome because I can't do all alone

good work , but I am noob to create rom with kitchen .. only zip edit I know

Yesterday I successfully built CM13 for XA from sources
But news are not good, the CM recovery is fully working as expected but the rom is stuck just after the Sony logo (Mediatek screen with "loading...") like on my previous attempts to port other roms. The kernel built from CM kitchen do the same... I will upload my git and my rom to see if someone have an idea on the problem. Now I will focus on the "vendor" files, but I'm not sure if it's the real problem. Can it be a locked preloader/kernel or something like that?
EDIT: I think the boot problem is related to the defconfig file from Sony kernel sources, I will try to change some settings. (the door for adding kernel features :good

I will buy this phone thanks to you :highfive:

Thank you for your work on our phone, it's very cool.
I would have helped if i could develop myself. If you need help get in touch with me i know some great devs who could maybe help you

any news @rrvuhpg ?

Yes I have some news but I want to create a dedicated thread for the CM13 project with updates, explanations and downloads to avoid off topic here. I am on holiday on next week and I will have time to work on it and give explanations. For now I'm stuck on boot because of Sony extra settings in the boot process, it's the first time I see a bootstrap and TA partition mount on a MTK device. If you know a dev for helping me passing the Sony part in the boot init it can be great :angel:
Other thing, I updated my git with parts of the update made by @Deepflex on the P9000 sources and my recent changes.

Device tree and Vendor tree is required !!

Hello Folk,
i am Going to build custom roms for le 2 (x526) . But as of core requirement to build any custom rom , first i need 3 source codes which are
1)Kernel Sources (I have that)
2)Device tree sources (Hoping for someone to build this)
3)Vendor Tree sources (Again, we dont have that too)
So if you are serious about custom roms them support me and Ask for any experienced developer to Get these two Tree sources .

This mobile contains snapdragon 652, which is rare currently in devices. So i don't think anyone has bring up device tree for this device. I am looking to purchase this device and then do some stuff for it, let's see if i bought it.

Device Tree, Kernel, Vendor for TB-8504f?

Looking for the Device Tree, Kernel, and Vendor for this tablet.
I am just learning. Is there a process for getting these from an existing tablet?
Thank you!
Darran

I found the device tree for the a similar tablet here:
https://github.com/Matshias/twrp_android_device_tb_8504x

Someone on reddit told me this:
If you can find something with similar specs and the same processor you can try adapting it to your device. The Samsung Note 4 and the S5 use the same sources with some minor adjustments. I've had good luck getting some kernel sources from Samsung just by contacting them and asking, but they're the only brand I have any experience with.
For vendor files you can try TheMuppets found here: https://github.com/TheMuppets
Or you can try to extract them yourself using this guide- https://wiki.lineageos.org/extracting_blobs_from_zips.html
Best of luck to you.

Device tree and vendor are not the problem. Kernel source code is the thing that is required. Was going to buy tab4 10 but won't if lenovo is not willing to release the kernel source. I've repeatedly asked them to do so in the forums but they never reply. Maybe try mailing lenovo support and see if that helps...

thank you - do you know if they have a dev support e-mail or is it the standard support e-mail?

Your kernel sources are already available. Its included in the kernel of Tab 4 8 Plus.

Some things will match others need to be modified as per the non plus model. Vendor files can be extracted from the device and the device tree can be set up by referencing the plus model since they are not too different. As per the kernel try prebuilt first and see if it boots

Tab4 8 plus has snapdragon 625. Go to gsmarena and search by snapdragon 425 and you'll get a few devices then go from there and see if they have a custom rom. If they do then find the device tree for that device from github and modify it as required. For vendor extract it from the device. There are quite a few tutorials on xda. As for kernel download the one provided by lenovo for tab4 8 plus (it'll work for non plus model as well). As for defconfig extract it from boot.img again there are tutorials available.
I'll probably try to get los running on the tab4 10 later

I found the kernel and some associated files here:
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...ntent=20190613_20190613184825&linkId=68972849
I found a similar an MSM8917 Device Tree here:
https://github.com/redmidevs/android_device_xiaomi_rolex
I looked through muppets and didn't find any vendor files for the TB-850 or any TB devices. Will work on extracting the vendor files and getting them up on muppets. Can I use the extract-files.sh file from lineage to extract the vendor files for the TB-850?

A good choice. Vendor files should be from the same device like device tree.
Use this one:
https://github.com/redmidevs/android_vendor_xiaomi_rolex/tree/lineage-15.1
You need just the camera blobs blobs from your device. But you can do this later.
More important are the firmware files because those are unique for every device.
Replace thos files with the one on your device:
https://github.com/redmidevs/androi...tree/lineage-15.1/proprietary/vendor/firmware
I suggest you to build Lineage15.1 first. The kernel works with Android 8.1.

Thank you for the guidance - looking to give this a try today
