no android lolipop for the aquos confirmed - Sharp Aquos Crystal

Just received a return email from sharp about about upgrading to lolipop and here's what it said :
Hello Mr. Powers,
Currently Sharp has no plans of upgrading the Phone OS.
Thank you,

So I guess were SOL on this phone.I also asked If the source code would be released as well and i didn get a response to that.

Same reply I received a month ago, same guy as well. He did tell me Sharp will evaluate the market and go from there, but at the time there were no plans for lollipop. I took the reply as a no.

hello
That just means that right now they are not going to update the OS it depends on sales and how well the phone is liked to get a update it may still happen and the source code is available and root is being worked on.

The first half of your sentence isn't the case. We will not have ANY source code unless Sharp upgrades the Crystal to Lollipop AND posts that source code. The only source we have is 4.4.2 .
The second half is true given that the only way to get Lollipop is if someone ports the posted source code from a similar and existing phone that has Lollipop.
AND that is after we have obtained root and worked out what the Bootloader is exactly. Before that happens we are stuck.

ICS just dropped to AOSP

Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in.
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

Developers make some rom's!!!!!! (Please)
this thread should make its way over to the development section. Thanks for the find op
Update: Already there
I'm actually curious about how long it will take for someone to make an A500 ICS ROM based on this. There is bound to be someone to do it, but who gets the #1 spot?
Whoever does it, it won't be soon. Build requirements are kinda steep...
https://groups.google.com/group/and...355d4256bdf4906?hl=en_US&lnk=gst&q=16gb&pli=1
They're not necessarily requirements, but more or less just recommendations. A more average computer could still compile ICS, but it will just take a lot longer. And I'm betting Thor will be the first to cook us a ROM. Hopefully soon

Those are only recommendations for developer workstations. It is certainly possible to compile it even on a low-grade office PC if you give it a week.
Hence my saying it won't be soon...

Your still not understanding my friend. Unless your definition of soon is in 30 minutes. Peter Alfonso that develops for the OG Droid and a few other devices compiled his in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. That was a laptop core i7 and 8gb of ram.
Thats not whats going to be time consuming. The hard part will be finding/getting the hardware inside our devices to work. I asked THOR on his forum about ICS on the iconia, his response:
done know for now... depends how many proprietary stuff the a500 uses....
I'm worried the camera, sensors and battery as these seam to be tampered with...
for the moment I'm busy with other stuff will see when I get some time to sneak a peak at the code...

Time will tell.
I'm sure FFM understands that. As you say, the hard part is getting the hardware to work, but with a slower machine, how many test builds can you do in a day? With a big fast machine that can build in a few hours vs a laptop that might take a few days can make a huge difference of when you get to your final release.
But hey.. i don't know anything, so why don't I just shut up...
It takes about 3.5 hours for me to build a new version of ICS. I'm on a 3 year old laptop which is why it takes so long. It would be great to have a much newer machine to build with as it would help to make things go faster.
So I guess that Google engineer was taling out of his butt then.

Chinese Lumia "Jailbreak"

Hey,
I'm sure you've heard about the rumored chinese "jailbreak" for the 920, and that it most likely was a scam. However, someone on WPCentral posted that it now is a reality (source: http://forums.wpcentral.com/softwar...0-jailbreak-lumia-finally-here-21-1-14-a.html), with these two links: http://www.silenstd.com/silenall/silentech/jailbreak920/ and http://www.silenstd.com/silenall/silentech/highxap/
is there anyone capable of chinese who could explain what they are saying there? I still have some hope left the only thing I found was the WPHTweaks xap that still needs interop services specified in the WMAppManifest, so it can't be deployed (obviously) and can't be the "jailbreak". So if anyone could tell me what they're basically saying there that would be great
Would love to see one of our local experts here on XDA to take a look over this to know if it is any good AND is it only for the 920, will it work on the 928 (claimed same phone with some upgrades to hardware)....
Yes, we know, it has already been discussed in this thread but it's locked down, because it were mere rumors as it is now. The Xap is a renamed version of WPH Tweaks by jessenic, which needs interop-unlock to be able to deployed in the first place. As the great GoodDaytoDie once said :
That's because it is simply the official WPH Tweaks app, just with the XAP file renamed. There's nothing special about it at all, and the poster who talked about installing it on a Lumia was probably just being an idiot (again, unless the Chinese have some jailbreak that the rest of us don't know about).

And ultrashot pointed out that the device in the video is probably an Lumia engineering phone without the blown J-TAG fuses (on retail phones they are blown) so a RIFFBox hack could be applied to engineering phone (not applicable to retail phones) and interop-unlock could be achieved this way.
I see that now after getting a translator. It was posted around like it was a new link....Sigh....got my hopes up a little, I got a Nokia phone but, it stinks there is not at least a Interop unlock for it...
Maybe Samsung will release a better phone for Verizon that can be unlocked...
Yeah, no its probably not going to happen anytime soon. CDMA requires extra care and OEMs won't go out of their way to make it happen along with Verizon doing who knows with the 929/Icon to be released. Just look how long it took to release the 928.
i 'am from China,maybe i can give you some informations.
As I know. The team called poansoul,announced that they can jailbreak for Lumia 920,on a forum,only a forum,I can't find any other information about their jailbreak on other forums.i doubt that whether they could succeed. But , according to this team,they said,they had jailbreaked ,but isn't perfect,because,the jailbreak process is similar to imperfect jailbreak on Lumia 800,they'll not release the jailbreak until the jailbreak is perfect. &,people focus on wp8.1 more ,rather than jailbreak. Sorry for my poor English.

Yes, that sounds realistic. I guess they used JTAG Method.
I opened up a thread in ATF support forum here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609/qualcomm-bootloader-wp8-lumias-1765873/
and if i may quote product-supporter X-Shadow:
@lordmaxey
Most retail phones including Nokia have m_debug_all blown... But with some
simple well known technique, you can bypass this as to enable JTAG debug and
memory access.
There are no "modified boots" because WP8 Lumias all use SECURE BOOT 3.0.
Well as Lumia 800, 900 and 710 did not implement secure boot at all (fuse not bl0wn).
So in reality, you can put android in 800, 900 and 710 if you really wanted to.... but the
same cannot be said when it comes to WP8.
I am working on a QFUSE hack as of this moment. But still too early to say what can be
achieved.

Click to collapse
So, i don't think the "JTAG-hack" can only be applied to engineering phones without that blown fuse...
There's still hope.
If they only would release their stuff, i could try the jtag hack with my lumia 920 and my atf box.
Would be fun
I think they use Riff

I was able to deploy it, but it asked for wp7 tools??

Statement: Informations relating jailbreak is now not ready to be released. According to the POANDSOUL team, the jailbreak is still in progress now, while there are a lot of work not done yet. They have invited a small number of users and developers to their close test. And we are sorry that this stage is still not suitable for the public beta. As a news media, Silen Tech has already tried everything we can to report, but the release of a tutorial without proper jailbreak tools is surely out of the question. Therefore, please be patient until the release of jailbreak by the POANDSOUL team.
I don't think there will ever be a software "jailbreak" for Lumias.
There might be a hardware-solution, but just unlocking with usb is way more difficult.

I wonder if it would be possible to replace the SoC and get unblown fuses. Apparently they can be ordered pretty cheap from china.

KitKat source code for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (P600)

Hello people.
To get the source code, follow the steps:
1 - enter opensource.samsung.com
2 - Type P600 in the search box;
3 - Choose SM-P600_KOR_KK_Opensource.zip on the list;
4 - Click on "agree" option, and after "continue"
I hope this information can help developers! :good:
That's strange. I believe it's pretty rare for the source to drop before a firmware is actually released.
P600KXUAMJ3 is 4.3, so no, there is no KitKat source available.

Maybe someone like @scrosler could look at the source and confirm if it's 4.4; I'm sure it's something he'd be interested in if it is. Here's a list of all the new Note's and the firmware posted for them in the Open Source registry. The only one's showing "KK" are the new Note|Pro 12's and the one version of s/w for the N10.1-14 the OP mentioned. All the rest are "JB." So regardless of the three character s/w version number it does seem to be KitKat.

I haven't downloaded it yet to look at it, but seriously... 200 posts and 6 thanks. If it looks like a troll and sounds like a troll, its probably a troll. I'm just making an observation, I don't know this "foo".
Edit: My download failed, but I got it from a reputable source that this is indeed NOT kitkat. Apologies foo.
I just entered the SW version in google search and saw that it is mentioned in posts from last year (like here). You will also find that it is a 4.3 version. This was not a troll attempt but only my observation. I would be glad if this information was wrong because I'd love to get KK on my note and I'm also 100% confident that we'll get it some day.

legal action against huawei over sources

so i recently finished updating my brothers Galaxy S5 to the latest CM13 nightly. while doing this i became furiously jealous. not of the phone but of the fact that its able to run CM. the following day while on my break from class i decided to launch one final attempt at getting custom roms to not only the mate7 but to hopefully all huawei devices.
as we all know, android is open source and free to use. if oems decide to use it on their hardware they are legally obligated to release all possible sources for any and all to use/inspect. huawei has continually refused to do so....... kinda.
so i bought my mate7 from an amazon merchant who imported it from china. why does this matter? on the US huawei site, one can purchase small range of huawe phones (the P8 lite, GX8 and Mate2). huawei has provided all sources for these phones. if you check their xda forums you can see that there are custom roms for all of these.
so, since i didnt buy my mate7 from an authorized US retailer, i have no legal recourse. while this sucks for me, that means that maybe someone in the EU or elsewhere will have luck. other countries have strict laws that protect consumers against OEMs.
all i need is someone to help out with a bit of research so that i/we can hopefully get huawei to comply. look at lenovo/motorola and their situation. i cant be the only one that despises not being able to fully control my device.
its not only a ui issue, its also a huge security issue. who's to say that china isnt spying on us through our devices?? maybe thats why huawei is so adamant on keeping their sources. either way, i think we should unite and give this a try because it looks like huawei might soon be the only OEM to produce top end phablets.
I am in Australia and got my mate 7 from Vodafone here, what do you need me to do to help?

first of all.... THANK YOU!!! with that out of the way, the device must have a kirin processor (i know they all are but i have to make sure). since you purchased it from your local authorized dealer, then that means Vodafone and Huawei have a contract.
this is where we can all contribute. here in the US, service providers aren't legally obligated to provided updates to their phones. in some countries they are. there was mention of one country where consumers where legally obligated to 2 years of updates and some other perks.
in your case snake65, i would kindly suggest you start by researching if these laws apply to you in your country. secondly, start a dialogue with a Vodafone representative in a hope to getting the contact information of a huawei official.
i have been in contact with a few but because they are from the north america office and my device is not legally provided here they have refused to help me and by extent everyone else. legal threats wont work with the chinese branch but im hoping that will change in other countries.
im currently trying to get in touch with google over the matter but that is proving to be very difficult. the google product forums will be my next stop. i hope to get some more leads and hopefully more help. thanks again to any and all that can and are willing to help!
i was planning on posting a discussion thread regarding this topic in as many other huawei device subforums but since i still have a few more hours at work and finals this week, i would appreciate it if anyone could help out. maybe the mate 8, p8 forums. thanks to any and all who can help.

I wish I could help with the legal side of things, but I bought my device in Tanzania. Huawei does have an office here, however I SERIOUSLY doubt there are any laws here regarding open source software policies.
But I can't think that Google wouldn't be able to step in? Isn't the whole point of Android being open sourced? As far as I understand it (I've only read a few articles on his over the past year or so) is that the only sources that a company can withhold (if their device is running Android, of course) would be software / applications developed and legally owned by them, for example Samsung Pay and so on. Withholding kernel sources does not (once again, according to my knowledge) fall within the rules of using the Android platform. This might also only be applicable law in the US, but I really don't know.
If there are any French users, I understand they just opened up a massive office somewhere in France, in Paris if memory serves. Perhaps they could be helpful?
Isn't there a full kernel source on one of the site's. Is that all that's needed?
Is this any good.

According to what i have read and collected from the forum these are not the only things required to build a custom rom, someone mentioned there are other huawei pieces which they didn't release. Also these kernal sources are for kitkat and lolipop and npt for the marshmallow. In one thread i have read that the kernal sources for marshmallow have been released but its not compilable, so they have made some tweaks to make the kernal compilable. But they require more sources from huawei ("sources for magic bits from huawei") without which building any custom rom is not possible.
wow! thanks to everyone that is showing interest in this. @Scruffykid: that is indeed true. they are legally supposed to share all the sources for their devices. the north american branch of huawei has been doing this for their devices but those are few in number (4) and snapdragon soc based. this is why my attempts to convey my concerns with the north american branch has failed.
they dont see any solution because they are not responsible for my devices since its not technically a north american product. i have tried to get contact info from huawei so that i can start a dialogue but that has not been easy. their forums are also of no use. they keep on deleting my threads regarding the subject and i have been banned 4 times so im starting to reach my limit.
btw, it really irritates me how much people dont seem to care about this. android n will soon be upon us and i doubt we will get it but even if we do it will no doubt be a crippled mess. we really need to get huawei to comply for not just our benefit but them as well.

I don't know why everyone is so desperate for custom ROMs anyway. They always have bugs and unless it's a Samsung touchwiz phone, people tend to go back to stock software rooted.
I have an oppo Find 7 which has a bunch of custom ROMs available and mine is still on oppo ColorOS and rooted.
My Mate 7 on Lollipop runs really nice and there's absolutely no need to even flash it to anything else.

then clearly my friend, this does not concern you. if your happy then keep emui, but many of us would rather have change. this is not a thread meant to justify our need for custom roms. also, eventually huawei will stop supporting devices. what then? just look at the mediapad x1, it was skipped for marshmallow after only having one update.
this is why sources are needed. no one is saying that you have to use costom roms and actually its not even about that. sure i would love cyanogenmod or omni rom but i would just be happy with aosp android and not that ****ed monstrosity that is emui.
so, to anyone else that wants to sing over their love for emui, please do so on your own thread and not here. this meant for those of us that want our moneys worth. btw, do some googling on huawei product reviews. they all feel the same overall. great hardware, **** software.
I'm all for someone to have a go at doing custom ROMs (if they were not buggy) and Huawei would do well to release all the software sources, especially now that they decided to be a global mobile device powerhouse rather than just a Chinese local. I do think you have zero chance of making an impact. It's a massive company and lets face it, Chinese do not care about what is right or wrong, or about international law. All they care about is making some money. The thing that would hit them is if people stop buying the product.

I think you should talk to the Google branch from the country in which the phone originated. My specific device (judging by the builds I receive during OTA updates) is from the Asian Pacific region, but obviously then there are European and Middle Eastern versions as well. Try getting in touch with a Google office there?
As @kta said though, taking actual legal action against Huawei will just be a waste of time. If Google can help by simply telling them to release the software (if it does indeed break the law/Google's rules, which it may not). At the end of the day just switching to a device that does have publicly available sources will be the cheapest and most hassle-free way to go.

I doubt that information earlier on that it has went bankrupt, although, there hasn't been any feedback and post on social media by the manufacturer.
Let's keep our fingers crossed now that you have given one positive indication of receiving OTA from them recently. I really want the company to stay alive and produce more Maze Alpha models.
It seems that InnJoo has taken over the sale of the Maze Alpha and rebranded it to InnJoo Maze:

Wow! I hope InnJoo Will keep it the way it is and improve on it. Maze Alpha has really set the pace for budget phone with some good hardware and it should remain like that. Another thing, if InnJoo must keep Maze Alpha it must regularly update the software for us or give us a custom ROM.
There is not Maze Alpha X on the list. Why is that?

One can only speculate. Might be an inventory thing. Maybe Maze needs InnJoo to take the remaining stock off its hands, before selling(?) its factory - if we assume the company is bankrupt. No official information has been put forward, which means negotiations are probably taken place atm.
For custom roms to ever be possible, we need the kernel sources. I asked Maze last year, when I placed my presell order for the Alpha. No conclusive answer was given. I think Team M.A.D. approached Maze and tried to obtain the kernel sources and work on the phone, but was unsuccessful, unfortunately. A quick Google search reveals that InnJoo not really upload kernel sources - I might be wrong - which means we're likely to be stuck with the current firmware/future official updates.
FYI I emailed INNJOO 3-4 days ago, about this and got no reply.
Hi,there is any news about?
