Cyanogenmod for P9 lite?

Because I'm bored most of the times, I decided that I will try to port the cm for our p9 lite. First of all, I wanna say that I'm not a developer and my experiences with porting aren't too big (i only ported some roms from moto g to moto g 4g version and cm11 to unbranded chinese tablet). So my question is guys, do you think that it's worth trying? I read that it's pretty hard to make custom rom for devices that have chipsets like kirin, mediatek etc... But since Huawei released their kernel sources for this device I thought that it isn't a bad idea
What do you think?

there are a few guys on p8 lite forum that are trying for a while now...i think it's just to hard and we don't have experienced devs to work on our device

Yeah, they even ported cm13 to p8 lite thats why I started thinking about it

i don't think they did it... there are 3 guys that work on the same project...

I would love to see CM on this device.
It is pretty popular as well, so maybe we will see a build one day.
If somebody understands chinese, I bet it is worth to keep an eye out on their forums
Maybe it is also worth to observe the progress on the P9...

I looked on the chinese forums too (our p9 lite is named huawei g9 in china) but there are only threads about twrp recovery and roms that are based on stock. I'm now taking my time to learn how cm and the other stuff works so i will try to report some progress soon hopefully

We have kernel source code, and we can start building cm13,
But first we need a device tree.
My knowledge is limited to build ROMs from source, and yes i have kernel source code and cm13, but i need device tree and I don't have time to build it from scratch

But we can use a device tree from p8 lite which has similar chipset (kirin 620) and then modifiy it. Correct me if i'm wrong

As far as I know p9 lite has kirin 650 SoC, after some quick research i found that these two are different from many points... Of course you can try it but they aren't many chances of success.
Update:
I have done more research and someone was able to build and update kernel from that source. So we have a short start. At least we know that kernel source is ok

That's some good news, so the main problem for now is to build the device tree , but I don't know where to start (for now)

Hello,
I would just like to give my support to you and say that I'd really like if you could port CM to our P9 Lite! I'd contribute and donate also

Just to let everyone know. I planning to start working on kernel and device tree for p9 lite.
Probably I will make a new thread on development section soon. But don't expect to be a release soon... Will take a while till first build

Great news and good luck. I bought this device with 2 years of payment plan, so I don't expect on buying anything new soon haha.

i talked with @XePeleato on the p8 lite section... they have made great progress... maybe he can help if you want... seems like a great guy

Yeah, I don't have the device but I may be able to help you out whenever I finish CM13, since then I'll have more time. By the way, don't be too excited about the kernel sources, We also have the p8 lite kernel source but many stuff is missing.

Emm,is it a bad idea to make a sort of a chat room for those working on CM for the P9 Lite?
It would go much faster if several people worked on it together instead of working separately,right?
So far I took the P8Lite device and vendor trees,replaced the blobs/sensitive stuff with the ones from the P9 Lite and edited the config files.
I tried to make the -eng build(of course,to be able to logcat broken things),yet the build info wouldn't mention the full build name in the "CM_VERSION=" section. I must've missed something I can't locate no matter how hard I try.
I also tried to build the kernel first,but it asked for the cyanogenmod_hi6250_defconfig in /arch/arm64/configs. I then "added" it(improvised by creating a copy of the stock defconfig and just renaming it),and then the build procedure asked for "hisi_cm_hi6250_debug_defconfig" in /arch/arm/configs,and I have no clue on how to get that one.
This is the first time I tried to do a thing like this,but I wanted to try,and sharing information(even the ones which appear to be useless) might help someone...
I will sync the improvized device and vendor trees when I get back home(Sunday),hopefully it will be at least a bit helpful to everyone.
It is most likely that you guys will keep ignoring me,but we surely can make it go faster if we work together.

that's what i said in the p8 lite section a while back... for devs to work together... in the end they finally started a project together and made big progress... maybe a google plus page or on Hangouts...

I use Hangouts to communicate with my fellow rom builders/dev.
Hangouts is pretty good for chat groups,and is easy to establish/use.
I also asked one excellent dev for help when he gets the time.
So,theoretically,we have a decent number of capable people for this endevour.
My Hangouts mail is [email protected].
Anyone who is interested in exchanging information can freely talk to me.

I may join if you like me to, but if you are focused on CM, delete vendor.mk, I completely rebuilt it to work on CM, you can't add such a high amount of blobs.
What I may suggest, is to fork the kernel (of your device) and the P8LiteDev tree, and use it as a base, but remove the blobs from vendor.mk
It would be also a good idea to deodex your rom and upload it somewhere.

[REQUEST] ☆ROM REQUEST TO DEVELOPERS♛ --For Kenzo

Hey Everyone,ツ
First of all i wanna thank all the developers, who are working hard and putting their valuable time and efforts into making Roms for us, softwares, squashing bugs etc and much more.
We all totally appreciate your efforts and are thankful to you. :highfive:
Guys, I have a request to all you tech heroes out there, PLEASE TRY TO PORT HTC Roms and XPERIA Roms for our beloved device "KENZO":angel::laugh:
Every other ROM out there is very much the same as each other(I even thank you for those ROMS, because you guys did so much hard work to bring those for us) there is nothing new and unique stuff.
Please put my request into your consideration
Please i want every forum member to support this topic if you agree with me and want HTC & XPERIA Roms for our KENZO.
and guys please i don't want anybody to get me wrong. It's just a request not a command.
Thank you for listening.

Second that.

Yes,I want xperia rom on our kenzo (redmi note 3)

Don't we already have xperia rom?? XOSP??
Check it out in dev section.

And the porting of touchwiz will also be appreciated....

No matter how many support this, it is not possible now
It was possible before back in 2013 but not anymore
Its not just for kenzo, you wont see any HTC rom or samsung rom (Keep aside the touchwiz rom, there's not even a port for touchwiz launcher or any of the UI elements or apps as of now) for any device unless someone has too much time to try the impossible

Are you sure, I have used Nubia, miflavor, and oppo ROMs as daily drivers. HTC Samsung and xperia are not done most probably because of their size. They are about 2 GB almost

As i said , its easy to port Chinese roms
Oppo UI, lots of devices are there.
Colors OS officially supports many devices they used to be too

For main stream, tier 1 brands its not possible because they link software to firmware for most of the UI elements

Hi, I've tried a few ROM for my Kate but none of them have the "switcher", that means the possibility to schedule the automatic switch off at xx hours and the following switch on at yy hours. It could be an interesting feature to include in a ROM. Maybe some have it, but Im not aware. If you know, please suggest me.

Thinking to port a rom from Op3, have some questions!

Before i download a rom of op3 with my 90kb/s net. I need some instructions.
I'm thinking to port a rom from oneplus 3, since OP2 and OP3 have same screen res and both are arm64 so it shouldn't be that complicated, right?.
1: is it okay to port a rom from OP3 to OP2?
2 How many of you have ported any rom? Does it really works?
3: Do i have to ask permission from the owner to port or i can give credits to him and link to his Original thread?
I've some more questions but not coming in my mind, hope that my above questions get answered so i may think to port a rom from op3 to op2.
Thanks.

Oh! That's why it didn't boot when I tried to mix op2 RR and op3 Pac man. They both have different cpu.
Google nexus 6p won't work maybe, since it have different resolution.

And as per building from source, I don't have that much knowledge about these stuffs. So it's pretty impossible for a noob (newbie) to make from source.

Resolution d' not affect porting.. Btw if u want to port some stuff check out yu forum "annabathina " is the dev who port different ui for yu phone..."
Edit: i also know porting but only in mediaktek phones snapdragn never tried cz lake of linux

N if u want to port cm base rom u can try this btw..
Take cm oneplus2 as a base rom
Take any cm rom u want to port(port)
Now delet app,framework,priv app,media,font from base rom
Copy all this folder from port to ur base rom folder
2. Copy lib and bin from port to stock but remember dont replace it .(means only copy xtraa files from port or keep base rom libs as it is)
3.replace storagelist.xml from base rom to port rom framework which u copied in base( framework res apk)
4.zipp ur base again and try to flash

I tried this method.
I took RR as base for op2 and Pac man of op3 as port.
I tried all the following methods. Everything is well and good till flashing, but when I try to go in system it just stuck in Oneplus boot image and then force me into recovery.

I'm not quite sure about these stuffs. I don't know how these stuffs work so I thought to start with porting roms. And hard brick is still okay for me, gone through many times, easy to recover.
Watched number of videos on YouTube, I also tried to make Virtual Linux on my pc. But didn't work.

Best way to start is dualbooting linux on your PC and following a guide on how to compile rom.
this here should be just fine https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nathanchance/Android-Tools/master/Guides/Building_AOSP.txt
just download the source of the ROM you want to compile. [The source is around ~20GB so be patient]
PM me if you hit a deadend

Thanks buddy, but i can't do this unless I get a new stable high speed net. 20gb with my current speed will take me around 4 days and if sometime the net went down then again ill have to download the whole file. I will try to make request to my dad about this.

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.

Lineage OS for J5 prime

hi guys , i wonder if any one out there is interested in making lineage OS for the galaxy j5 prime variants, its been a while since it was released and i'm so disappointed from it not having that much attention by the custom ROM's developers.
please if any one is working on a new ROM contact me if you need a beta tester or any kind of help.

What do you mean disappointed that custom ROM devs haven't done lineage???
Lineage is available for nearly all devices now.
Just because nobody has the time for j5 prime doesn't mean that the devs aren't working on it for other devices.
It's not there fault they are just supporting different devices.
If it is that much of trouble then you might want to think about just changing device
