what is the problem of gionee? why they are not interested about to support developers with their devices?
I thought gionee is going to change the thougt of people obout china device with their new E7!

No chinese smartphone vendor releases their source..only big brands releases their sources...like samsung,sony...it will take some time for gionee to make up their mind..i hop otherwise the E7 is great device..sure it has changed the thought of china device of some ppl atleast me
wht chng ur mind?
bro e7 hs a very imprsv hardware...
bt without devlopers support why we need that?
do u think we will hv a lot developers support for e7?
will gionee release kernel ?
My opinion
Brother, if gionee keeps it secret of kernels. Then how can we develop the custom roms it's having great hardware but poor software, the kit Kat is lot smoother than 4.2.2 everyone wants to have their hands on new versions . on the other hand many cheaper phones than e7 are having 4.4.2. Whose interface is far more better than the stupid amigo in which you can't even arrange the icons according to the name. No home button, laggy ui it's better to go for a small device with kit Kat which has smooth interface cod people rearly use cam and ram for games. I wish to see kit Kat on this device, I Adm planning to get one plus from Dubai by seeking this device
This device is like a Ferrari at the speed of 60 kmph , max speed
so there is no possibility to get kernel from gionee?

It looks grim right now.. And it's quite impossible to build a working kernel without proper sources.
Update: I just contacted the pr of Gionee and he replied with a far better attitude than I had expected! He was more than willing to help. He said he will talk to the China team and get back to me. Well, considering the little email exchange that we had, I am pretty sure we have good stuff coming..

Kinda disappointed in buying this phone looking at the hardware i thought reglardless of companies ****ty update policy i would atleast get custom roms which seems not tbe be the case any more.

just to make it a little clear here, it not for them to decide to whether to release the kernel source or not. It comes under the GPL license and they MUST release it. and I am pretty sure whoever you talked to simply has no idea what kernel is or what we are talking about. its quite hopeless to talk to them. they are like pre configured answering machines. they know nothing, they understand nothing, they just have standard replies.
I know its mandatory for them to release.
But they don't do it not sure who can enforce it, in all honestly i have no idea why google give licences to ****ty oem's who dont follow the 18 month update policy and not release kernel sources.

Write again in new thread,maybe this time they will add Mike to CM 7 team,and our device to official CM7 list.
i updated my thread, also everyone, please share that thread everywhere you can, we need as much support as possible, we need to get attention
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on cm forum some moderator asked to call some dev's to leave replay i asked mike and he sad :
Michał Gapinski
I don't want to do it
TBH, CyanogenMOD team seems to be a bunch of HTC fanboys.
I have contacted them via CM forums a year ago and none of the admins replied
Im kinda agree with what the mod said, our phone is kinda oldie, most of us are thinking on changin our phones this year! or anything! + we got plenty of stable roms that we can actually use as daily and main ones, all we need is developers, not the CM team support as well! And im not saying I disagree, cause i'd love the CM support, more complete roms or anything, but its a waste of time and maybe resources for a phone thats obsolete, plus, we're actually thinking on changing (must of us) even if we love it (I do love it)! Instead of asking CM support we should find dev's or learn and practice with it
not to burst ur bubble but they already said no to mike

Really, GT540 will be dead soon I think. Mike got new Xperia NeoV, pcfighter don't release anything now too, Mur4ik left long time ago, Wingrime is still active, but releases are just from time to time, something still need to be done. DevSwift has Desire S, so Swift is his 2nd phone, which he don't care about that much.
Many others also changed phone, swift became less active than like 2-3 months ago.
Well, I'm currently trying to develop, and if I can get my fastboot to work, I'm going to make ROM's, so there is hope I'm trying to port a ROM from the p500, you may guess which one!

hello,
i posted it in the ICS update thread:
Hey, silly question, i know, think it would be asked many times.
i wanne opend a new thread at dev, but i cant't to less comments --_--
now, we know, we never get a 3.X kernel from moto, so, we must help us at our own, i asked me, how?
my idea was, what abei the LG P990, i heard, there are 3.x kernel, no officiel, i know.
What are the hardware differences at the LG and the atrix? fingerprint and camera, i know, but what about the rest?
it it identicly? is it possible, that we can work with it? at beginning, without camera and fingerprint?
perhaps we found an other device with an identicly camera and 3.x kernel, perhaps we can look in a direction like that? only moto bashing wont help anyway
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i hope any dev get give informations to me?
the developers already know that moto left us behind..
they're talking about it and what they are going to do??..just the time will tell us...we have to wait hehe
I'm not a developer but sometimes i asked then about start the work from some other similar device's kernel (same that you're suggesting here)..they told that it's an idea but should be necessary a massive rewriting...so it's not easy and they will need time even if the device is similar..
thats the point, i think we don't have any other chance, similar devices kernel, or from scratch, the second is the option which needs more time, i think
i wanne call me a developer, nothing in comparsion with our big ones but i would like to help your devs and i think, i'm not the only one, but i don't know how - i know that is many work and needs massive rewriting, but it's our only option.
i only hope some devs would found together and can say, how we, the, i wanne call it "non-kernel-hackers" , can help.

If the answer is YES...and you know how to do it...maybe the atrix comunity can donate to you to buy an atrix...

Anyway, i think that our best chances is to raise a found, by donating, and offer it as a bounty for the first dev to create a 3.x kernel for our device. We might find someone that way. Create that kernel takes lots of time and skills. Very very few people are willing to invest all the time required for free.

I too have sent Hashcode a message asking for possible assistance. I told him we would be willing to donate to the cause.
If you can organise a decent fund/development device, I'd recommend contacting TripNRaVeR. He has experience porting the vanilla 3.1.10 Tegra kernel code to a new device (the One X, which shipped with 2.6.39) hence he's probably already halfway there with knowing where to go next. It looks like LG and Sammy have ditched DVFS in their 3.1.10 releases on the Galaxy R and O2X, which would be nice (using standard governors )

Its hell lot of work to compile ubuntu but its rightly said by someone Developers are like Angel.
I would like to share i was building a ROM a week back name "Beanstalk" for our grand but was stuck on bootloop. Everything went right but unfortunately it got stuck. This ROM took me weeks to get basics right then after putting in SD card and flashing, i was like :crying::crying::crying: though i got installed and able to saw a beautiful boot screen of beanstalk
Anyways good luck to DEV who is trying to build ubuntu touch:good:
@DataUnit is it possible to build webOS for our Grand? Lol I know it's a bit obsolete right now and very far-fetched, but webOS has a similar Linux kernel like Android. HP Touchpad, the only webOS tablet before webOS's death was actually flashed with Android during manufacturing process, so I think it is possible to port webOS to Android devices. Even better is that almost all parts of webOS is now open source. :good:

New version of webOS has been developed for Smart TVs and I think it's not for smartphones, but if you think you can port it with compiling the source code.
Since its source is too different than Android and AOSP, it needs a lot of hard work to port it to Grand or any other Android device.
Pocket friendly Ubuntu would be so nice! Hoping one day we get a port on grand!

Hello guys,
After reading lot of reviews I have changed my mind from buying Htc 816 to gionee mobiles. Around my budget and requirement I found gionee e7 mini a best suitable for me.
What I need to ask is about it's 1gb RAM. According to me it should be enough. I am not a hard core gamer. Infact my current phone don't have enough memory to run any of most games so I have been away from gaming since last couple of years. What I mostly use it for surfing, calling, watsapp,etc.
So is e 7 mini sufficient for these activities?
Also what is overall feedback about Gionee as a so called "Chinese" company. When Micromax's Canvas series was out, I read lot of god reviews but after few months it was turn table. So I don't want to regret by going after a Chinese brand. Your suggestions are more valuable!
Finally my baby is in my hands now!!! Took a long while to make this decision and Just hope it will not disappoint me!!
1st impression: wow! whatta master piece!! Looks a lot premium and once can hardly guess it's a Chinese mobile. I guess they are redefining the "Chinese mobile tag".
Most impressive thing to mention, they have service centers in almost each district on Maharashtra and I never expected this! Just fingers crossed and I will update my experience on this thread with my elife e7 mini
if you are into flashing custom roms or want updates, dont expect any. good luck.

Moreover they just released 4.3 for the lte version of e7 now. When they promised 4.4..

OK. I wasn't aware of the updates or promised updates for E7 but I have heard from a very reliable source that update for 5.5 is coming on 27th. He gave me a very specific date but I still take 2 weeks plus/minus.

You gotta start understanding sarcasm mate!
And no.. It was quite useless.. It has the msm8974pro.. I don't think we can use it.. It did boot up once though.. But nothing much was working.. Extremely laggy. Probably it was clocked at 2.5GHz.. Not sure.. Needs more work nonetheless..

Hi ,I have updated my e7 mini to kitkat too..But the weather app doesn't update the temp for me.
Also sometimes I receive a message and when I open it from notification it's gone.
I also feel the battery back up has decreased a bit after kitkat update.Have u faced any of the issues.
It's surprising for such a great phone there are almost no users/developers on xda
Thanks

Hi,
Have you checked weather app settings? There is an option you need to turn on called "automatic update". it's working fine with me.
Also I have noticed improved battery backup. I am not sure what is wrong with your device.
Well yes, I too have the notification bug. It shows "unread count" even if there are no new unread SMSs. I asked to their service center and they said it's "operator's issue. not ours" lolz! dumbass!!
Anyways I am working on a custom ROM and soon it will be available here.

Yea I turned on the automatic update..Now it's updating.But compared to other weather apps it really shows different temp..Anyway it doesn't matter..I think for a few days my battery drain was kinda unpredictable or sometimes it would come down rapily all of a sudden..But now I think it's way better ..No compaints [email protected] issue..It's definitely a bug.Even Gionee India tweeted they were aware of this issue..It's a great phone.Really sad to see almost no developers on XDA...At least we have you ..Also are you able to root after Kitkat update?
Hi,
I found a temporary solution for the message bug.
1.Go to settings>> apps
2.Roll over to "All apps" tab
3.Find Novi launcher>> clear data
4.Find messaging app>> clear data
5.Reboot your device.
##########Caution ##########
By clearing the data of Novi launcher, all folders you have created will be gone and you will see all of your apps scattered. So you have to take the pain to re categories them.
By clearing data of messaging app, all settings will be restored. You have to again customize them according to you.
###########################
Though this is not a permanent solution, still you can get rid off that irritating message count notification.

Adwait

Hey, I also updated my e7 mini, but haven't rooted it yet. I guess I am facing some battery issues! I want to know if it's better to root because my cell is still in warranty period.
Hey, everyone.
I bought my Mate 8 about two weeks ago. After my personal HTC-Desaster over the last year, i couldn't be happier.
The only thing, that keeps me wondering, is this current OS...
Sooooo, i'm saying it out loud to start the discussion ...
Does anyone know, if and when cm13 for the Mate 8 will be released?
Don't be so much disappointed, if answer will be "never" ))

Huawei Mate 7, much older device, also Kirin cpu = doomed = zero custom roms.

Mate 8 will also remain without CM13 :crying:

I'm right there with you...
Maybe, they will change their mind? I mean so many producers first said, they would never share the code, and suddenly they did.
I guess this is the dividing line...
I'm usually the one recommending phones to people and this phone is a great one, however, if there is no potential to get any AOSP/CM based ROMs on this device, then it is doomed from my recommendation on a large scale.
We should start a petition to change this, but I don't know who will join and if we will be loud enough to get them to listen.
What is the main blocker in this? Source code, vendor blobs, proprietary something-er-other? Is the Kirin impossible to get working because of proprietary drivers? Sounds like we just need more higher level devs to crack this? Maybe we can start a bounty to buy a phone for a dev that has a track record of cracking this kind if issue? Just brainstorming.

This is the link to the Ascend Mate 7 thread where they discuss this exact same issue. Maybe we can get some of them on board or get on board with them to push HW!

Thx a lot. I just posted our discussion at their board, with an invitation to join us, if they wish. Since it's same problem, we are all facing, i thought it might help all of us to work together.
The processor huawei is using is cool fast battery friendly long lasting but at the same time unique.. So not much support.. I myself am ready to saxrify custom rom support for such a premium device[emoji14]

I agree. On my last phone, HTC One M8, I have used CM for maybe a week TOTAL in 21 months. I have also used Google Play Edition ROM for maybe 2 months. I did not mind Sense ROMs as the performance was best with these, and they had good features as well.

Damn..
Have used CM13 on Samsung S4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G3. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Camera drivers are also often propietary. So if (will probably never happen) CM13 becomes a possibility for the Mate 8 there is always that issue as well.
I'd rather run a custom stock Rom with proper camera than an AOSP one without. And the Mate 8 is fast enough to be a great device, when using another launcher like Nova or Apex for example.
As always: YMMV, of course
