It looks Like Bootloader May be unlocked! - Onetouch Idol 3 General

Wow what a nice surprise! Let's hope it moves forward. To have CM 12.1 on this bad boy would be awesome.

Nice find, I hope so too! So far this phone crawls for me a lot of times. I really need a custom ROM or CM12. I really hope some devs will get their hands on this phone.

Been talking about it over here as well : http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/root-ability-phone-t3116179
I believe we need alcatel to release the kernel source so we can build a custom recovery with the boot.img. After that we should be able to build a custom recovery pretty easily.
I also believe we can use most of the files from the yu yureka project to get started on a CM build that at least boots.

Nice find
Nice find. I'll try today to check my phone.

Which groups are making Roms?

Does anyone know who are the best known recognized developer groups making Roms for the G3 (if any)?
rumors, maybes, confirmed?
I've heard cm is on it, but other than that idk
---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
Also think I they I heard dirty unicorn is working on it, and I knoe OctOS had plans to support, but I don't think they've started yet
Cm probably do a great job on this device like others but we don't know any others yet because G3 used to have a bootloader lock.
Let's hope plenty of developers jump on board now the boot Loader problem had been circumnavigated.
Apparently LiquidSmooth is being worked on.
I would love to see purity rom on this beast also.
Can't wait to get Dirty with some Dirty Unicorns :highfive:
I haven't bothered rooting because there are no roms yet. Would be interesting to know what to expect. Cm is at least something promising.
Ohh! Purity ROM on this phone will go blazing fast! Can't wait for the flood of ROMS

I'm the same shadehh regards rooting. Untill the main stream rom makers are churning out top quality stuff I'll hold on.
I'd love to see Archidroid here. Some of the finest IMHO.
i have asked on the g+ page of aicp and test builds will be made as soon as the sources are released to bump the roms
miui
Hi guys...i love to see miui offical rom also is there any news about that.
Maybe we should let'em know about bump...

Bump! has already gained enough publicity from some tech blogs for ROM devs to know about it. Let's wait and give Team Codefire time to release the bumping process & I'm pretty sure we'll see a couple of ROMs pop-up soon after that!
CandyKat are working on a ROM. I asked the other day https://plus.google.com/114490049576855321482/posts/CAoWbPPn2cF (scroll to the bottom).

Yes we are. We have a sprint build waiting to be bumped already. Working in some device trees for other variants. We are very interested in developing for this phone as a few of us on the team have it.

Thanks for your interest in creating ROMs for the G3. Seeing the increase in developer participation over the past week or so has been great. If you plan to put out any VS985 builds, I'd be happy to give them a test run.

Nexus 6 Shamu AOSPA - Paranoid Android

I'm surprised not to see a link in reference to it yet and I'm sure that the paranoid team will make an official thread soon enough but for now this will do to let everyone know that paranoid android is available finally for our device.
Please not that it is still an alpha release so there may be bugs, don't report them in here as this is just to inform users and has nothing to do with the official team.
Grab the ROM file here.....http://get.aospa.co/
File is located under official supported devices....Happy flashing all!!!!
Sweet! But does it auto encrypt?

Yes it seems to be encrypted going by what the comments on G+ say. downloading atm so i can confirm in a bit (download is real slow though)
Also remember PA is no longer pre rotted
yeah, i saw the new on reddit this afternoon and wonder why there's no thread here.
did most of us forgot PA already?

I may be blind, but I'm not seeing the Nexus 6 under official devices.
**UPDATE** Yes, I'm blind, please disregard.
Was wondering where the thread was to this. Saw it on G+ this morning and downloaded but haven't flashed yet. Glad to see PA is an option for N6 users. I'm sure we will see some nice features with this ROM as it develops. Maybe we will get lock screen customization back sooner than we think.

I'll admit they launched way after Cyan and Cyan have more stable features but the PA guys always like to make sure things work before they release it since they have no nighties. I was expecting more from the first release but ah well they'll get there eventually. I'm still on stock atm anyway Cyan has a stutter problem with the notification/toggle swipe and animations that annoyed me too much.

Has anyone tried an unencrypted kernel yet? If so, did you flash it immediately after the rom to stay unencrypted?

AICP Rom Coming Soon

Hi, guys.
I found a video on youtube and a guide on xda on how to port roms from one device to another. Since the opo and opx almost have the same specs, I'm thinking on porting AICP rom to opx.
What do you guys think?
Im far from being a developer, but I want to learn, and I think this can be a good beginning.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Edit: I'm not going to port AICP rom to OPX anymore, instead, I'm building from source.
Hopefully, we're going to have an aicp rom soon.

The thing with this roms is that there is no based rom of these in OPX yet, and to port (as far as I've read) you need a port rom (rom in OPO) and a base rom (rom in OPX).
For example: I chosed AICP 5.1.1 because is based in CM, and we (OPX) have a 5.1.1 CM rom, so they're very similar. There might be a Color OS rom on OPO but we don't have a similar rom on OPX, and to port them will require some real development skills which I don't have. ;D
AOSP marshmallow would be awesome...I don't manage to build it cuz of a weird bug but maybe you can !

Any CYANOGENMOD Development for SM-T350? I can be a tester.

Hi everyone,
Just creating this thread to see if there is any developer who might want to port/ develop cyanogenmod to the SM-T350.
Currently Evervolv for our tablet is a big step forward, but development for it seems slow. I'm not saying anything bad about the developer, on the contrary, is a big step forward.
Anyone interested on developing some sort of Cyanogenmod or AOSP rom for our tablet, I'm more than willing to become a tester.
Good day to all.

I'm not really sure on how to port or compile, but I'm going to be searching some other websites (forums) and ask some people from LineageOS on how to port or compile a rom. And sure, you can be an alpha tester after I try it out myself because I don't want devices to be bricked.

If you have a CM build for the T350 would you mind sharing it? Also did it die due to CM or unrelated?
I've been tossing around what I want to develop on my T350. I would like to use it to learn how to build android from source and install a custom oem android. I'd also like to customize the stock 3E recovery, or fork CWM. A Custom Recovery or modified TWRP is what I'd like to do.
With Android 7.1.1 and 8.0 out now, maybe I'd like to get into a custom intertwined boot.img and recovery.img. Trying to decide how best to setup the dev box.

Building Stock AOSP 7.1.1

As the title says, I'm going to under go changes from LineageOS to stock AOSP. So hopefully I can successfully build stock AOSP 7.1.1 for the v20 US996 and hopefully more. I will be needing testers once I'm finished with the device tree and kernel.

Thanks man I love that your my tester, and I wanted to try something a bit different mainly to test my skills throughout. I actually just synced RR repo and left it to build but I won't know the outcome till I get home from work. But I really wanted stock AOSP on the v20 with a working second screen, seeing HTC just announced there HTC Ultra with a second screen I hope they release the API for it so it can be reversed engineered to work with the v20, you know how cool it'd be if the v20 had stock AOSP 7.1.1 with the second screen working and having substratum theme engine onboard... It's a dream bro. But definitely will build for your device once I get everything working.

I'm with you man. I've always been more of a pure Android based ROM guy myself. Never been much on the OEM stock ROMS once the AOSP, CM, etc. Based ROMS got stable. Someone definitely needs to figure out some sort of solution for the second screen on this thing though because the current solution isn't a very good one.

Yeah I think someone mentioned that they were going to create an API for the second screen, I wish them all the best and hopefully it goes through. But I rather stock AOSP than CM/LineageOS ... I might also try to build AOKP just to see if that builds...
