This thread is for users to exchange information regarding development for the LG K7
As we all know, there are no working custom roms for the LG K7. It's a real shame because that's just what this device needs.
I would like to revive this community and give a glimpse of hope for a custom rom. The community around this phone is no longer thriving like it was a year ago. Anyone willing to create some projects is welcome to discuss on this thread.
I would be interested in helping with development if I actually knew anything about porting roms. Seeing how most unofficial rom ports have basic stuff like the camera, GPS, or sometimes even WiFi completely broken I highly doubt I'd be able to provide the fixes for those if they arise. Best I could do would be to find already made patches for a phone using a similar configuration, and even then I'd more then likely have to go in and tweak a few things.
If you can provide me with easy to use tools for this sort of thing I'd be more then willing to help, and even then I can't really afford to lose functionality of my phone for even a day, so can't really test stuff on actual hardware for you

See, the LG K7 doesn't even have a basic rom like that. We need a place to start. I also don't have a clue of how to fix problems like that. I also don't have the proper hardware and software to make a rom myself.

Can you make one for the LGMS330 model aswell please.
I am working on LineageOS for LG K7 (MetroPCS variant as of now). It's still a WIP and most things are broken. Hopefully I can come up with a worthwhile build soon.

I have a LG K7 permanently rooted looking for some fun so if you need the help I'm happy to help. My fingers are itching to get into some action. I just recently turned my attention back to my K7,since everone in the ZMAX Pro community wants to fuss and fight instead of finding out root. I'm ready to help as of yesterday, so let me know.

I'd be willing to help on this too, but it looks like you probably abandoned development, which is sad because this thing's probably never going to run anything newer then 5.1.1 unless you can come through on this.

Hey guys, most of us know that cm13 is in the works for our beloved G2, but I don't think many of us know anything about the development.
Do any of you have any information about how the development is going?

I'm actually trying to build CM13 for the G2, launch the "brunch" command 15 minutes ago, will see how it ends.. But already tried today, ends up with an error.
Again, an error.

No, unfortunately... This time I got an error about "No private recovery resources for TARGET_DEVICE", I made some research and don't find anything explicit. I'll try more this week, but I work, so I can't do as much as I did last week-end. Also, I think @Rashed97 is the maintainer on github, so every progress came from him. We also have to wait until we have all necessary files. But I'll try again and again, don't worry dude !
so excited for trying marshmallow on g2
there's some temporary commits on gerrit, which fixes cm-13.0 build for g2.
But, as I said, they're temporary. When cm13 gets the cm12.1 features, these commits won't be needed.
Great Daniel, thanks! There is a chance that you could share an alpha cm13 with us? just for curiosity of course, I'm expecting that most isn't working at the moment
The reason no one has posted builds yet is because cm13 is unusable as a daily driver. RIL isnt fully working and I don't know what else is broken since I don't use it much. When it's stable enough, then we'll start distributing test builds.

I think we are just getting excited including me. This little phone has gone a long way. They are working hard, seems like new activity on the commits every day. I think we all appreciate the work and its hard to contain ourselves especially when we start seeing all the development activity. Seems to happen every release cycle, patience versus readiness. Look forward to the build when it's ready, I think they will give us something good.
Oh my, i want android m on my lg g2 so bad
Can't wait for it!

Its really hard for the devs to know how far they are let's say they get most the bugs out but one then when they try and fix that one bug other bugs come around only to make things worse but let's hope that like last year it'll be mid November for the new android to start rolling out for us.

Yeah exactly. OOS is near stock. Moto g3 is running MM but we're still waiting :/ and should probably wait till the last day of the Q1. Or probably they'll miss even that date and come up with an apology letter like they always do :/

I am pretty sure drivers are written usually by the hardware makers, so that'd be Qualcomm for the SoC or whoever made the fingerprint sensor, camera, other sensors etc. Skins - I ain't seen much skinning by OPO except for changing the dark mode and colour of stuff when in dark mode. Security - this is why they need to release latest android, because google is fixing 100's of issues.
Anyway I am shocked that even the slow manufacturers like LG have upped their game and have 6.0 and Samsung has leaked theirs too. I usually wouldn't care but custom ROMs not that attractive without Fingerprint sensor and Laser AF.

Development seems to be either dead or slow moving for this device... I have many years experience in the Android world and would like to offer my assistance. While I am unable to compile my own software/ROMs, I am very well versed with fixing issues and bug finding. Let me help you test? I'm not afraid to brick my device (tho I would like to avoid that if possible). Testing results turnaround time in the past has been within 24 hours or less. I use my phone daily for work and personal use so I'm consistently on it. Let's get this ball rolling! How can I help you?!

Im glad someone got a thread going on this. I would just like someone to compile a kernel with overclock and screen mod. I have a powerful enough machine to run vmware as a buildbox and can run linux command but need someone with experience to simplify the process a bit.
Same. I'm relatively comfortable with linux and can have VM sandboxes running to test myself if I can get a G5 image to run in a VM.
Does anyone have the unlock.bin file that LG has given to the unlocked variants? I'd like to look through it.

I think really exciting times are coming our G5's way. This phone has great potential but it's so underrated. I had the op3 but G5 is much better.
We have resurrection remix, cm13, cm14 on the way, aicp, amazing fluence patch, genisys Rom and patch etc. I can see some more great development in the future

Edit: new code dropped at https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cas-q-oss
Great news good to see some development may start soon hopefully.
It's been available for a while, as you can see the most recent commit is in March. However, the source tree is not completed. It's one of the reasons for the lack of development.

As long as the kernel can boot the phone we can use it as a starting point, right? Also 3rd party ROM can use stock kernel extracted from MIUI.

That, along with some other reasons, is why till now there is no rom.
would there be someone who would be able to make a custom rom from the kernel
if there is a person who makes you i would be very grateful
is there a possibility that it looks as much like stock Android as possible?
because miui bug a lot

Devs have lives too, and this is just the thing they do in their free time, so they work at their own pace. Not every devs want to report everything, nor do they have to.
Things will get released when they are ready. Rushing the devs will just increase the chance that they will abandon everything.

Personally, I don't like MIUI, nor MIUI based Roms: eu, ROS, mix, etc.
I think it's worth to wait a while, even one month, for install a decent AOSP based ROM on this brilliant hardware. I made that on my Mi Max 3 and I am very happy now with the phone.

Hi all,
Have jumped ship a few times to custom ROMs and have came back each time due to limitations of the cameras.
Yes there is Gcam. However the video isn't right. Slow motion is non existent (at least to the level that you'd call usable)
Third party apps don't seem to cut it either.
The Nokia APK does a great job at stills and video but again no slow motion and you cannot use 48MP.
So my question...
Does anyone know what is required to in normal circumstances, get the OnePlus camera to run?
Libs and framwork, etc? And can we obtain them in some way? To give them a whirl against a custom ROM? Even if it's just partial functionality, it would give us a starting point.
Cheers

I'd never say impossible, just think that the ever changing firmware and updates to ROMs may cause too much grief, plus because (I think) that the framework is required it may be a pain in the backside
There is an awesome dev called @AEonAX in Xiaomi devices. S/he managed to port stock Xiaomi camera to custom AOSP based ROMs. Maybe s/he can figure out the things if has a chance/free time to do that.

I think even with the volume of people now currently using the device, a bounty might even be a real possibility.
Dunno?
Anyway thanks for reading and reaching out all the same.
This is one of those things that stops me from leaving OOS on my OP8Pro.
OnePlus should release the Camera app on play store, like Google does. The gcam from play store just works on Pixel devices with LOS18.1 without any glitches.

Yea could be good.
Usually people pledge money to get it done.. then pay up then it's fulfilled
If 50 people pledge a few quid each then there's a few hundred £££s to get it done.
Only issue I can foresee would be the terms of maintaining it .
I'm not sure if it works for one it'll work for another.
