Hi Everybody
after some weeks Trying developing ROM's and Kernels i almost Give up... the kernel developing to MTK SoC is too much different compared to qualcomm SoC's (To me at least...) after compile more than 10 kernels to Run at my phone i only get Bluetooth and Radio FM not working with random reboots annoying frequently... but a real modifications to get this phone more smooth usage fail every time...(if you only compile the original source kernel it will run exactly like original kernel...)
I'm too n0#b alone to get everything running at developing process(kernel or ROM dev.).. at qualcomm phones(Xperia Acro S and Xperia L), i get more things running correctly with much more help from others Developers... but not released anything because it will be more from the same as others releases...
so if anyone here have more knowledge about that developing process things i have the Kernel Source and ROM platform to our phone...
---
i already try make CM12.1 run too.. but don't boot =#.. and if get work soon will be too much unstable to release, like my kernels =#
i will try port CM12.1 from @fire855 using that tutorial
the other possibility is try make compile the CM12.1 using our sources with modification from this ROM
but i will need help to make it compile right =#
so.. i will like have a discussion about that process with you guys... if anyone have some experience to help our phone have more custom's things to don't be locked with Original stuff/performance only.. if anyone have a useful guide, video or tutorial to compile anything to MTK SoC's it will be great too :highfive:
I appreciate your effort! I don't know much about MTK personally, but there is a thread on 4pda about porting CM 12.1 to MTK processors.

already started try port CM12.1 ... but will not work too much things... almost every sensor will not work because that cross-firmwareOS port (CM Modules Drivers have a different compilation process =#) what i can do is try upgrade our source kernel using other MT6592 Sources to can compile the CM12 to our device... but again i will need find Module Updates drivers(blob) from other phones sources... =#
and my status with that right know is fixing a lot of errors while i compiling the kernel... i don't reach the inHouse ROM Compilation to than can get more Errors on logs to fix to release a simple Almost "stable" rom to how want test if it works properly to everyone... but don't push me to get that finished.. i work everyday and when i have time i try my best to develop that :highfive:
and release a unstable ROM/kernel is a wrong because maybe can brick someone phone because my errors (ramdisk modifications, and partition table map when installing the rom)... or we can wait BLU release the Lollipop with Hope because on twitter( @ UKkazam) tell me about no lollipop updates to this phone =#
i Tweeted to [@ KazamUK] asking they about lollipop updates and receive two replays... One say about newer updates to fix bugs on OS but not about lollipop and other saying "unfortunately, not upgrades to newer Android versions will be released"... otherwise [@ BLU_Products] Replay this "Please stay tuned on our social media for future updates, thanks!"... so... we have a faith about BLU brings Lollipop to our device? i don't have sure but with lucky it will happens :highfive:
...
and the porting CM12.1 ROM don't worked with me... bootloop =# and CatLog is extremely confuse =#
Kernel source link not working
I have an opportunity to make a PORT CM12 for BLU VIVO AIR in two days. A neighbor of mine bought a VIVO AIR and I will do whatever is necessary to get the ROM on the device.
I helped the BLU VIVO IV the users to have CM12. But as the device was not mine, so I could not fix some bugs. In the same epoch I talked to a BVA User and helped the kernel issue. He had given me feedback in relation to not have phone signal and not be able to replace the IMEI. But as I had no time, and the phone in my hands, the CM12 ROM stood with him.
Currently, it is quite possible that after CM12 MT6592 to be 95% stable in most of these devices Socs, the VIVO AIR may also have.
Once I have the device in hands, I'll let you guys know if CM12 can be available for all users VIVO AIR.
But if anyone know a actually already exist a ROM CM12 for VIVO AIR and clones.... Let me know...??
That would be awesome and I'm sure as me a lot of users are going to be happy about it

Was anyone able to run kali netheunter on lenovo a6000 if so can he/she tell me how to? I really need it
and if possible how to port it
It needs Kernel Integration be Sure to cook a Kernel With that support and then make a Patch I ded it Earlier when i needed to crack my neighbouring wifi networks but now i have JIO
i dont know how to do that help pls
I am here to make this project live again. I kindly request to all the dev. Please.
Hello everyone, first of all I wanted to thank Renix63 for posting the cm12.1 neox kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nel-cyanogenmod-12-1-overclock-1-593-t3230195
Very useful and fun kernel to use, however, I would like to add some custom features of my own (I want to add support for specific wireless USB cards that use Realtek, Atheros and Ralink chipsets).
I did flash the neox kernel onto my phone (together with resurrection remix rom) and got the .config file out, in order to start the 'make' process.
The thing is, that I have no idea which compiler I would be using, and how to give it the path to compile, or how to appoint it to the specific ARCH=arm kernel.
I really need someone to grant me any help, or somehow to enlighten me, PM, Skype, facebook or whatever else.
Thanks in advance for anyone who has the knowledge and willing to share it on this thread with me, and other who are reading it.
NOTE: i will be grateful if someone compiled the kernel for me BUT i would like to know how to do it myself.
Please please please help me, it will be highly appreciated since i was already been looking all over the internet and was working on it for more than 3 weeks straight, without any success.
I would like to thank all the extraordinary developers on this website regardless, especially Renix63 for his wonderful kernel.
Hey all you Sharp 306sh users!
I love this phone and decided to start a ROM port to Oreo 8.0.0!
To date here's what i got
1. Device tree built
2. ASOP stock rom built successfully
Here's what I need to get done next
1. Access bootloader to flash images
2. Test for vendor blobs needed so I can make the vendor tree (if required)
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am just getting my feet we in this process, this is a great phone and I would love to see it updated.
Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this project!
Edit 8/6/2018: Device tree is on Github,
https://github.com/RobertCC18/sharp-306sh-rom
More to come once kernel is built!
Edit 10/12/2018:
I am uploading the first test build so I can get some help with the debug. THIS ROM IS GETS STUCK AT THE SHARP BOOT LOGO AND IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION DEVICES!!!!
That being said, any help and logs that you can send are greatly appreciated.
This zip can be flashed through TWRP, check the downloads section

Great! I´ve got a 306SH model, i can be a tester... waiting for your first zip :highfive:
Awesome.
I tried this exact same thing before, but gave up soon after I couldn't diagnose what stopped my device from booting with my custom ROMs, as I could never find the logs.
It looks like you're making more headway than me, so I'd love to test it, or even just help out.
Keep on going! A GitHub would be great progress.
Update 7-4-18
Update - 7/24/2018
Recompiling Kernel with debug drivers included - current compiled kernel missing RAM Console support
Github repo coming soon!
Great! Always wanted a custom room on this phone. I can test it and try it out too
Good progress.
Make sure to keep us updated, once you have a GitHub repo, development should speed up.
I'm sure there are a few techies with this phone that would love to contribute to your ROM, myself included.
By the way, you said ASOP instead of AOSP in the original post.

Thanks, whoops on the typo!
Been busy with work but hoping to upload device tree, kernel base and current build, waiting for kernel to finish building with RAM console drivers.
Update 8/6/2018
Github Created
https://github.com/RobertCC18/sharp-306sh-rom
Device tree is added, kernel coming soon!
About accessing the bootloader to flash images, I believe we've done this before.
Tewilove, the man behind rooting the 306SH managed to access it, and made a custom one to flash, if I do remember correctly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/aquos-crystal/general/temp-root-306sh-t3129456
Worth a look.
No development in a while. We all hope you're still there.
I visited the Github and just found it to be text files and folders. Could you possibly post the WIP kernel or other vendor blobs on there,
so we have at least a basis to begin work on?
Thanks,
This is an amazing idea. My 306SH is rooted and ready for action.

Yes I am still here and working on this, just haven't had much time lately. I will try to get the kernel and vendor blobs up within the next few days
Been waiting for a custom ROM for this phone. I'm ready to test it
Any update on the development of the ROM??????
Any progress?

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the delay in development but I hit a major snag with the kernel build and am still working on overcoming it. The needed defconfig is missing so I found one that should get us close, at the very least it should allow us to see the RAM debug messages on boot failure.
Also, my internet has been to slow to upload the kernel to github but I have an upgrade and should be able to get it uploaded within the next couple days.
Please share any information that you find regarding this phone here on XDA and beyond, any info you can provide will help me get this up and running faster!
Hey, how's everything going? Any luck?
What's up with it?
Hey All,
Sorry for the delayed responses, this phone seems to be a lost cause. But I am not a quitter lol!
I am hopeing to get back into the swing if things here in the next few weeks and will post more updates and files here shortly
Current problems:
No debugging enabled
Kernel needs patched to support Android 6+
We wish you the best of luck!

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:

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
