[PROJECT] Porting CM12 to ZTE Blade Q MAXI - Blade General

i've been looking exhaustively these laste two days and I have found not even a single ****...
So i've been looking on some wikis and crap and I decided to try to port CM12 (or 11, which i like the most and has less battery issues as I have heard) but:
1. I'm always (or almost always) busy
2.Classes are starting soon and I'll have to be constantly moving to the University (waste of time that I already don't have XD :silly
3. I'll need people to help me up
So what do you think about this?
This is not intended to be a quick project and I'll need as much help as I can get

what can I say?
sounds great!
you can count on me even I dont have advanced skils in linux(are very limited:crying: but i try to learn:fingers-crossed
all my ported roms have like base android 4.2.2 becouse of the kernel wich dont support an upgrade
will try me too to modify the kernel becouse after that the rest are more easy on port cm11 or higer
i think all users will be with you and give some help if you need it
so dont loose your short time and START the project!!!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

That's what I want.
I know that MTK kernels are harder to modify, so I'll try to find anything, or learn how to do it by my own since I'm studying Software Engineering
Thank you guys. I'll keep it coming and hope to do it sooner than later

Also, I remember last year a guy named Aniruddha Adhikary who supposedly worked for Acer, leaked the mt6572 kernel, and I also do remeber thag I have saved it on my PC somewhere. Sadly, the github page of the kernel is a dud. My fears are that the kernel, if I find it, is going to be lackluster and incomplete as most MTK kernels leaked by OEM's are.

The thing is that this would be my very first attempt into Android developing... And I know it won't be easy. It would be great to have that kernel, even though it's not finished.
If it's not possible, i was wondering if a kernel from a similar phone with the same processor would be easier to port (for instance, ZTE BLADE which has way more development than our phone does).
Yeah. All we need is a point of start :thumbup:

Its nice to see that u have good will for CM,...good luck to all of u and if u one day decide to port any of CM for Q too,..i can test it.

@vtaufner
I present you some of my observation:
the simillar device with Zte Blade Q Maxi are ZTE Blade G Lux
ZTE Blade G Lux have the same specs: cpu and gpu and most important it have a kernel allready compiled for KK
but it dont want to boot on Blade Q maxi
i beleve guilty for this unboot is lk.bin files wich work like a bootloader and it block other kernel (even from simmilar device) to boot
ZTE Blade G Lux doesnt have lk.bin file included in stok rom.
other observation conected by lk.bin is:
kernel from ZTE Blade Q Maxi(wich are 2-3 variants) doesnt work properly with lk.bin from Orange Reyo( 1 example it doesnt read correct the battery level)
but all variants of Kernel(including Orange Reyo kernel) work good with lk.bin from ZTE Blade Q Maxi
Earlier i downloaded from ZTE sites the kernel source for ZTE Blade Q Maxi and i atached here
in the package you will find and some other files like boot.img and lk.bin from all ZTE Blade Q Maxi and Blade Glux
for the moment this all, if i remember somethig I will tell you
Ps. ZTE Blade have other specs, different cpu and gpu

That's weird.
Yesterday i was looking for some info about this... And read that blade q and blade q maxi are the same, but ours is bigger.
I also downloaded q maxi kernel yesterday, so i'll give a look at it and to ZTE g lux kernel soon.
Thanks @vaserbanix

ICS for L3 E405

I know there is no ICS rom for L3 E405 till now but can anyone help me to develop one or anything else helpful in this regard??
thank you.
please someone help.
yes i would like to know too, also would you guys be able to port ICS from the expected to released L3 II phones?

i think E435 (dual sim) has jelly bean and it's source and packed rom is available.
i am starting a project to port it over E405.
anyone interested can join.
that would be great if true , unfortunately i am a noob and don't have experience with any of this, but please keep us (me) posted with any progress, maybe even create a thread in the development forum.
I don't think there's an ICS ROM for E405, but it should be easy to make one, since basically it is E400 with 2 chips
ics installing it on my E400 for daily use
getting there

i only posting to anyone who whant to see the preview and give some feedback and possible fixes
I will not post the source right now, because i have a lot to fix (i know what and where) the only problem is the time. once i finaly finish the kernel and the init port (not the entire rom, only the things i know i got to change) i will post the entire source.

i think its possible to make jellybean for this device, because samsung galaxy y duos can do that
but, there is few people using this device, so it hard to do
I belive it is possible. But now i still stuck with ril porting if the source i trying works i can try to update the system to jb

[HELP] Porting G2's L to G1 [KERNEL]

Yo peeps,
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]For people who say I will wait for official update STAY OUT![/COLOR]
So i was trying to port the G2's Lollipop update to G1. Many of you may think itz quite useless, well i just decided to try because i am a big dev here to compile AOSP or CM12 roms without a proper device tree. So while we wait for Official Update or until CM/AOSP becomes stable i thought maybe i could try porting. So i managed to get the system and boot.img made a zip and now the problem seems with the kernel. I get a fall through to fastboot mode when i use their kernel and when i use ours it gets stuck on bootlogo. Both the kernels are of 3.4.42 and i am not good at kernels like the way i am at kang so if someone could help me with the kernel part maybe we can get L earlier.
This thread is for only people who can encourage and try helping! Others please excuse.
I unpacked both the boot.img made a zip of it and uploaded so that it would be easier for people to help. I dont mind testing it numerous times. Willing to listen and try anything and everything that can make it boot. So here are the kernels.
Hope to find help!

I think it is impossible without kernel source... This way you can play with Ramdisk only. Moto g2 has little bit different hw..
only difference is screen size and camera, the processor, graphics chip, ram, battery and sensors are the same. so it is possible to port g2 update to g1.

The ROM itself-yes
Kernel-no.
I know almost nothing about kernels and all related with it things and even do not know why I was mentioned by OP
But I have a question. Can we just flash firmware from G2? Can it brick our device completely in a worse way?
Why am I saying such a bool****? Read first line in that post again
Never the less I remember guys who flashed android 2.3 on samsung galaxy gio from galaxy ace and phone booted and even hadn't critical bugs...

I have flashed ZTE warp cm10 on ZTE v9a with kernel built by myself and it was also working... But with warp kernel there was no chance to boot v9 device up.
I think with flashing g2 lollipop over g1 shouldn't brake your phone permanently, unless you are not flashing modern etc. (just flashing system and kernel). But I cannot promise nothing will be broken
Try using a CWM flashable version of the G2 rom along with the CM12 kernel? You might be able to get some kind of result from it?

@S0bes i thought you may know something so kinda tagged u bro btw i tried flashing g2's stock firmware image it doesnt brick or anything but since they have a different kernel it still goes to fall through to fastboot mode even on g2's stock roms. the main difference is that 5.0 uses ART and ours DALVIK and hence i believe that what the issue.

I do not believe so. Neither Android 4.4.4 Moto G LTE nor, Moto G (2014) Kernels (or ROMs) boot on Moto G (2013.)
@yeshwanthvshenoy I know you stated you are a big dev, but since you are, you already know kernels can't be ported from an image. You need the source code. Unless you have a magical way of changing code without needing to decompile.
Still... if you are having fin making zips, go ahead, don't let my words discourage you. But... this is a dead end.
Agreed with @fermasia
if porting kernel without source was such an easy task by this time we had so many kernels
Only way is directly flash 2nd gen kernels to try our luck if some things work
All the best [emoji4]

I dont think there will be any luck since G 2014 has a different MSM board and that has to do with the result you will get. So if you manually flash XT1064 firmware on an XT1032 just expect a beautiful soft brick in the best of the cases... Just wait for official OTA, there are just days left for it!!! Next week we will se some news.
for this you need a new kernel for G1, which we dont have. (and even if we had it then we had the ROM too)
you will have to use the old kernel with the new ROM. which will obviously create tons of error.
have you tried CM12 kernel with the ROM?
For the kernel, try following and check if there is some progress.
Decompile both the kernels with dsixdia kitchen. You will get ramdisk and Zimage for each kernel. Try following combination.
4.4.4 Zimage (G1) + 5.0 Ramdisk (G2) + Modules (G1)
If no, try using init.rc of G1 and give another try.
I'm not planning on helping you do this, but the g2 and g1 use the same kernel. You only have to enable certain things in the defconfigs...

You don't really need it, decompile the boot.img and replace the zimage inside with a compiled one.
I don't recommend doing this. Porting in this case is pointless.
By the way, kernel source was released a while ago.
Good luck on the kernel. Though I highly suspect that Motorola will give us Lollipop on the Moto G before anyone is able to come up with a working port.

thanks for the info and help all of u are extending i know maybe this may not work out but itz just a try. and @Somcom3X can u please a little more of the above statements u said about changing defconfigs and few other stuff. Should i use G2's zimage and G1's ramdisk or any file that u think would make it boot? Can u specify the file name if so.
Get the basic source of the G1. Match the changes made to G2 for the L. Best to getthe old G1 kernel source and modify the things needed for the L. Test and Go.
Unless its creating changes in filesystem its good to play with.

Quite good.. defenitely going to try porting the 5.1 from the Core Prime.. my first guess that we'll run into Camera issues since they have different cameras, we might need compatible G355H (or similar) camera lib for 5.1 if the older libs will run into compatibility issues.

Ok I will search and see if I find one
I didn't found any Android device with L ROM/Firmware with the exact same Camera specs as the GC2. One question: The Moto E (1st Gen) has the same Camera specs but he hasn't Front Camera... Is it possible to use the lib from this device and make front camera work? [emoji4]
Hit the Thanks Button if I helped

Well, i've looked through some forums and i found this..
As per samsungs database core 2 (SM-G355H) & Core prime (SM-G360H) have common camera.

so i think we're good, will be easy to port.
Update: Well... i've done some more researching and it seems like only the G360F is getting the Android 5 update and the device specifications differ..
G355H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/c7bd2c38
G360H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9ea92fe9 (No difference from G355H)
G360F: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/18f33232 (Differs from both G355H and G360H)
@white-energy
I saw this and i dont know if Samsung will really release that phone ( 4 Month old post and its not better than the normal prime )

Pretty good catch there mate!
I've poked around in google and found the firmwares: http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G531H/
Will definitely mess around with it asap.
Update: Oh i just checked the specifications of that model and it seems that the G531H isn't the Grand Prime VE.. emm.. hopefully we'll see that model out..
Update 2: It's confusing.. i can't find some solid info anywhere..
Update 3: Okay.. found something useful and it seems that the SM-G531H is the correct model that contains the same SoC as the G355H.. so we're good.

Sorry but hardly. G531 has 8 GB of internal storage(system reserved aprox. 1.6 GB because system image for G531 is larger than 1.4 GB ) and our G355 4 GB (system reserved aprox. 1.1 GB) so I don't see that fit.

well, porting already working rom from one device to another is one thing. But what rom (device) would you use?? No one build cm-11.0 for any device similar to ours. I have been searching a lot...
Building from source is totally different thing. A lot of time time to find needed proprietary files, setting up device tree, patching if needed and than building with no errors. And finale is it rom bootable or not.
I build cm-11 rom for g355hn but all I got is cm boot logo and 50-60 lines of logcat where I could seen successful loading wifi modules, loading MALI libs and some display drivers and than boom. Logcat stop and I'm in boot loop where I can't see anything else what cause phone from booting.
So if anyone can help my sources are right here:

Ya sure its still work in progress the major issue is
1) Kernel Sources are KK based ( So we have to make it compatible with Lollipop , just takes sometime )
2) Adapting Sources to Snap 615 SOC (new to samsung)
Once CM boots i will make a thread here with all and latest updates

Lineage OS?

Do you think we will have a lineageos build for huawei nova?
That would be great, but first we need a rom base for any rom....
After my exams in february I would like to try porting Lineage OS to our huawei nova...but thats not a promise, it's an "Let's try and hope.."
Too bad there was not activity on this phone yet.
I really really hoped this gonna replace my Nexus 5 ( the >5 inch / 70cm width trend sucks - phones are just too big!) - but nooope..
I had it already in the hands, good that I didn't bought it. But I maybe would if someone would work on it :laugh:
Once huawei releases kernel source I will start working on it.

Did they release those for previous phones too?
I figured since this is a snapdragon device the chance for roms will be much higher. Since they don't really release anything for their own chipsets iirc.

I think they released the kernel for many phones in the past..but you can also extract it from the stock firmware..so that shouldn't be a problem to build lineage for this device, but it takes time.. ?
