john

opps

Can someone explain the purpose of this if Sony includes DRM keys that get destroyed when you unlock the bootloader? Last I saw, no fix for that... so if anyone wants to modify their device, they lose features, nuke the camera processing, etc.?

I want the TWRP !!!

About X8 MultiTouch Kernel

As we all seen, Multi touch kernel, finaly hit Xperia X10...And now i wonder, can you port the Multi-touch to X8 ?? Any working dual-touch Kernel for it?? Please post links....If you got a Kernel for Bin4ry's flasher(X8) It would be GREAT...
plz , stop posting questions about multi-touch on X8 , if you search the whole internet you will see that there is no kernel , update or anything in order to enable multi-touch on x8
if you look at xda-developers forum , you will see several topic about it!

I know, but i really want somebody to port the kernel from the Xperia X10. Can't it be done??
You can't. And looks like you didnt read any of the posts there because, if I remember correctly, all of the threads tell you it's impossible to play with the kernel until the bootloader gets cracked.

Correct me if i am wrong: Why don't you play with an firmware for bin4ry's flasher, it's got kernel.sin file, modd it, then flash it with custom firmware, should do the trick , don't you agree?
No cause phone don't accept unsigned firmware files.

so, can't we make a driver with fake signature that looks like SE. ?or Mod the Kernel signed by sony?
NO, if that was possible we would already have multitouch, custom kernels, fully working custom ROMs and we wouldn't have to crack bootloader...

Hi, I have question > On which phones is bootloader cracked? is very hard to crack it on x8 too? (i don't know about this very much but DT/MT would be awesome )
There are no SE phone that has cracked bootloader... SE put a lot of effort into locking it :/

Some people are trying to change to multi touch from drivers (we do not need to crack bootloader). Check this topic... (scroll down a little...)
so is there any hope to crack bootloader and change kernels? or we can forget it?
We all have to wait for bootloadercracking or SE release official update

CM Stopped

Hey guys,
Meticulus stopped working on CM, I'm using the rom as my daily driver and loved every update or fix, so sad and a big loss for every CM lover...
My question is, is there a developer who goes on with the rom or does the development really stops?
And does anyone know a solution for the bluetooth pair bug? Thanks!
As I know, someone is working on Paranoid Android for P9 Lite and managed to boot it (as meticulus said) but nobody is working on CM as far as I know..

If we will find someone who can fix bugs (sdcard as internal, stock camera limited to 2.1) Then we have people to finish and test new builds to be able to give it to community

Idk this. The Marionette did build so he can build stuff. I am the one who can test because I'm less experienced in development. So we need someone who can fix bugs. Maybe some request pool or something like that can help find right person?

There are defenitely developers out there who can fix these bugs we are fighting with but we just need the right developer...I'm not the guy who has the most expierence in devolepment so I don't know many delopers
A developer I contacted said that support is coming and that they are working on it!!!
Mod EDIT

Well Paranoid is based off CM
Mod Edit
I followed the cyanogenmood thread all the time and I don't think that anyone made demands to meticulus. Also I don't think that people were ungrateful (what meticulus claims). For example I am a student and though I spend some money to get a device for meticulus. I did not expect from him that he must develop the rom but I expected from him honest work and not to stop developping out of not understandable reasons..
Afterall, @Meticulus had gone way too far out of its development. We can still thank him for bringing us that development and also to sponsors.. hope other dev will come and continue the support so that the progress will continue..
Dankmeme said:
I know right! And everyone said he should make rules, he said: "I dont mind wat you discuss", and now he stopped development. Sorry but I think that that is a really ***** move.

No offence man. Still thanks for the work, but it shouldnt have to end like this. Some people did some dumb things that even without rules they should know that they shouldnt. But Im sure that if some things were changed it wouldnt be this way

hmm, thats not possible. only cm10/android 4.
we got only genesix developing a lineage kernel for g4 and i think he would agree with me that this is not possible.

srry if wrong section , looks like this method can work on all android versions ,i will ask the devloper you told me about and see what he would say
There are different ways to do this. ramdisk or in /system . I want to do this for booting twrp on locked devices soon. I just waited because I had the hope unlocking would be possible by patching aboot but that seems to be not so I will start the alternative method.

720 has wifi working, so the first post is inaccurate. Even so we have told everyone upfront those other things don't work right now, not sure why you expected them to work. For now this project is basically a toy device. It will be able to do more in the future.

@mattschwantes Is the Wi-Fi part patched in the source code? I want to make builds shortly after the August security patches are merged for Lineage OS.

I've given everything to Sam to patch/update. I thought he had done and built already, but maybe there is a delay? There's really not that much to the wifi fix for 720. 52X is the big pain that is disturbing my sleep.

Maybe you can request write access to the Android4Lumia repositories from @SJR (Sam). I really want to make a Lineage OS 14.1 in some days since there are no Android 7.1.2 based builds by him.
Is it a kernel patch?
Sent from my Motorola Moto G4 using XDA Labs
mattschwantes said:
Not really kernel related. You just need to push correct WCNSS_QCOM_WLAN_NV.BIN to the correct location. Only problem is it gets overwritten by a symlink during the build process. Someone would have figured this out eventually. Unfortunately this only works on 720. 52X has a different issue.
