-Rom Porting Project- !!Help Wanted/Needed!! - Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all, I have done some research and found that the HTC One A9 uses the same chipset that the Idol 4 uses and I want to start porting some of the roms from the A9 to our Idol 4. The Idol 4 is currently on Android 6.0.1 and I have found 2 6.0.1 custom roms for the HTC One A9. One is CM13 and the other is Mokee. I have tried following several outdated porting tutorials with no luck getting anything to boot. So what I want to do is reach out to the community and get our heads together and get something booting hopefully. The first thing that needs to be done is getting the Kernel to boot. If anybody has ported before and has a clue what they are doing, please pm me and we can get to work on this. The Idol 4 has been out 2 years now, we have a newer TWRP and I see no reason why we don't have something decent for our phones yet. The HTC One A9 also got the nougat update and there are 4 or 5 custom roms based on Nougat as well.

how ugly it is to see that nobody shows interest
if I could help you, but I do not know anything about it,

Ya I find it pretty sickening that nobody has any interest who could help. Maybe once I get caught up on bills I will approach a known dev from the A9 forum and offer some money for help. I wish I could just sign up for a class on rom building, TWRP building and rom porting, lol. Maybe XDA should think about offering stuff like that for profit. Reasonable profit though, not exaggerated like everything else.

excelente trabajo
Gracias por este fantastico trabajo, funciona perfectamente idol 6055P, gracias.:good::good:

Hi .. any news from this port ??

SM-S820L Lollipop Update?

Is there any way to get Android Lollipop on the Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L? I have read about custom ROM's but I still don't know much about them and can't find any for this model. If anyone has found or created a way to flash a custom ROM onto this device, please let me know.

I also own this device, and unfortunately there is very limited support in the custom Rom department. If there was to be a lollipop Rom, someone would either have to port one somehow, or build it from source. Given the development rate for this device, I don't predict it happening anytime soon, sorry to say.
not going to happen
i have been trying since february the answer i got from my carier was samsung is contracted not to support this device thats why that is so hard to find samsung told me to take the device to bestbuy to force update if they could probably irrelavent but maby it helps
SM-S820L Got the Shaft!
Yup! This seems to be the future for the SM-S820L, or lack of future I should say.
I too have the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L. I have spent lots of hours scouring the internet looking through every android related forum in hopes of eventually finding someone that is undertaking much needed programming to build a custom ROM for this CorePrime version.
If you are looking for a custom recovery to use. I can point you to my and others posts over at Needrom. The best I can offer is an unofficial TWRP release, but it DOES work! It does for myself at least and I am no Android Guru whatsoever.
I guess I am not allowed to post Links in any of my posts yet because I am still a NOOB on these forums. I'll PM you with some direction my friend!
I cannot take credit for coming up with any of that software. I simply rooted around long enough to compile a collection of tools and files that worked for me to modify the Recovery of my SM-S820L.
:good: Feel free to shoot me a Private Message on this site or to my personal Email....... [email protected]
I would love to help out as much as I can with modding your phone. Like I said, I'm not a proffesional but I have read up on the procedures used and been successful with my own Galaxy Core Prime:laugh:

Custom ROM's and CWM recovery for SM-S820L?

I have been into modding my SM-S820L for a few months now and although I have found an unofficial TWRP release and a few stock ROM's from various sources, I have never seen any type of CyannogenMod ROM or other custom ROM for this phone.
Also I have been wondering about compatibility between some of the other Samsung Galaxy Core Prime models or similar Samsung phone in general. Would it be plausible that a ROM for say SM-G360T would run on an SM-S820L????
I would love it if anyone knows about compatibility between the SM-S820L and other Samsung Galaxy phone's firmware and custom recovery releases and is willing to share the knowledge would post here with some advice.:laugh::good:
Sm s820l
I'm in the same boat as you, there's just not much out there, a new rom was posted on area51 but it wasn't much different, just got rid of bloatware as far as I could tell. I look at it like it's a cheap phone, and as far as custom roms and such, it's just not popular or not favored. I've spent hours searching, nothing out there but malicious websites lol. I'll keep you in mind if I come across something.
Head over to NEEDROM. I built a modified ROM from the Stock firmware for the SM-S820L.
Here is my post!!!
CM, PAC, etc, ROMs for other variants of the Core Prime definitely aren't compatible with the 820L variant? Nothing available but stock-based ROMs?
As far as I have found on the Net, and I have searched for countless hours, I havent found any truly custom ROMs from CM or any other ROM makers. All of my modded ROMs and Kernels are just modified stock files. I havent heard of the other SM- variants being compatible with the SM-S820L but if you ever do find info that certain ROMs work with this model, please post here or shoot me a PM.
I would be uber happy to finally flash something like a Cyanogen Mod ROM

An acquaintance of mine just got a Core Prime, so I was looking for info to root and ROM his phone. If you, someone who's actively been looking for the info hasn't found anything yet, it's pretty unlikely that I will. Looks like he just had the crummy luck of ending up with the variant that doesn't have much dev support. Thanks for the reply, though. People over in the SPH-L720 section don't tend to be nearly so helpful.

Is his Core Prime model SM-S820L? If so, I remember using Kingroot to root and then SuperSu Me to remove Kingroot and retain root. You can find SuperSu Me in the Aptoide app store.
After I rooted my phone, I installed TWRP with ODIN3. You do need to have the Samsung Drivers setup and Kies3 installed to have all needed drivers in order to use ODIN3 in your phone's download(ODIN) mode.

Question: who here would like an official lineageOS Nougat build?

Question: who here would like an official lineageOS Nougat build for all variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Just want to see if its worth the devs time if there are any devs out there that will maintain this device.

There are already several Nougats builds for F/G/V variants in the Devs threads mate and many users are using/testing them. I'm not sure that you will get any "No" in your poll

But are they official? and what about other variants? What I'm asking is an official all-in-one universal that supports all of the variants.
Im sure theres more then 4 people and myself who would like an official build. Kinda sounds like your comments just make this poll bad and thats why only 4 people and myself voted. Your post makes it sound they they are official when not.
My note 4 is only 7 months old and was Manufactured August 2015 so this device is not really 2 years old and As Samsung was making them still in half way through 2015. Am i the only one who loves this device more then any newest samsung devices? I mean it beats the note 1,2.3,5,6,7 and also s models.
A unified build is planned: [DEV][trlte] Unified LineageOS device tree for Snapdragon Note4.
In the meantime, see my signature for daily builds of 4 trlte variants, which correspond to 7 model variants.

Hi,
As I'm seeing this, it all depends on whether the developers will put their time into this or not.
Technically, nothing is impossible, I've seen many active communities on older devices that for example have ported Android Nougat on phones that essentially had Android 2.3 (!).
Although our community isn't quite as active/big, we still have some awesome contributors around working on bringing custom ROMs to our Lenovo devices. With that being said, I'm sure that we will be seeing a stable Android O ROM release some time this year!
Cheers,

Are there any custom Roms for the "Leeco Le S3 (X522 US Version)"

Hey there guys i'm pretty new to the whole custom roms and such, i have a leeco le s3 the US version of the phone (X522) and i'm wondering if there are any custom roms for this device? and if there is how to install them.
About the Phone:
Android Version is 6.0.1
Model Le X522
Cpu Snapdragon 652 8 core 1.8 ghz

The X522 is the LeEco LE 2 and the following link is to the device dedicated area of the forum for this device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2
There's a handful of them within the Development area of the above link.
Just an FYI... If you encounter "X52x", then that just means that it's compatible with more than one variant that begins with X52.
Good Luck!

Thanks, But just one more thing
So I've checked on the phone box and in the "about phone" section in the setting they all refer to the device as the "Le S3 Model X522" so i'm not really sure as to why it would still be called the le 2. Then again i'm new to this so you may be right.

That's a great question!
One reason that I can think of is because the first LeEco S3 was just referred to as LeEco and the subsequent versions were just numerically used.
Another reason might be that since there are other devices that had "S3" within them, this became confusing with the other devices.
I'm not really sure myself but, you do see the matching X522 Model numbers within that area. Maybe you can ask this question somewhere within that area.
Maybe my friend @Droidriven might know this a bit better than I do.

Okay i figured it out

That's Great News! :thumbup:
Based on your response, I learned something about this too, the X522 is the same thing with only the Branding difference between the LeEco S3 and the LeEco Le 2.
Thank you for your response and Enjoy!

So i'm a bit stuck on how to flash twrp on this device any advice would be great.
thanks for the info about the x522 and different region names! that will be useful
I was researching about it cause its my little bro's phone and he wanted to update to the custom rom android 9
so im not sure if I break the rules by posting external links (delete post if I do)
but I would share the links to respect the sources and autors cause thats not me, I found how to install TWRP but i havent tried yet, cause my bro's phone is still on its way here (he wanted it to play video games, so he wanted a custom gamer's rom, snapdragon 652 seems to run prety good stuff for that price)
so following same steps than other phones I found:
1 - unlock the bootloader (Prerequirement!!!) https://clickitornot.com/unlock-bootloader-on-leeco-le-pro-3/
2 - following the TWRP tutorial (same basic steps than other android phones https://clickitornot.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-leeco-le-s3/
I only need to research what custom rom would be better for him to give an entire gaming boost, specially for emulators like gamecube and psp (no problem running android native games , according to internet the processor 652 could even run unreal 4 games like life is strange)
