I got this reply from a moderator throuh a personel message

so he might be back soon

Apparently, that is the case.
Yeah, I believe it had to do with him not sharing it. I think it all started when CM started to announce and work on the official build and were wanting to use his kernel as a base/starting point but he wouldn't give it out? I don't know, I just remember something similar to that happening in the Offical CM topic.

that doesn't make any sense, if CM actually wanted to do an official HD2 build everyone would benefit, doesn't make sense for him not to release his kernel source.

Im getting the same thing...Im looking to download the newest for my HD2 but i cannot enter that forum.
Can someone tell me if there is any and what possible damage can occur due to MDJ not sharing his source? Example: is any of our personal information at risk by this taking place (i.e. credit card numbers, e-mails, sms, phone records, etc)?
Thanks,

it is posible that he has put some code in there to get details from devices, so without actually seeing the code people can only speculate
i hate to say it but this thread has turned borderline pathetic
can a mod please close this thread
before conspiracy theories start popping up about it MDJ
Weird. Haven't visited the android HD2 forums for a few weeks and to see MCCM back and MDJ gone is weird. But MCCM's builds work better for me anyway.
MDJ!!! WE MISS YOU!!! Hopefully we will see him back soon
MDJ, your work was the best here, Back to us pls!

No it hasn't. Seems the issue has been addressed well enough and people are just voicing what's on their mind. The only excuse for this one being closed is it's a dupe thread.
Closing fair discussion never benefited anybody !

There has to be a reason why he refuses to share his code, if this is true, i would be really careful with those roms he created. think about it, everybody else shares their code (its a requirement) but when they asked him to share his, he disappears? I hope I am wrong...
It sucks that he's not around right now before this stuff went down he promised an update and i'm jonesing for one!
I've moved to another build, but don't like it as much.
Hi,
I just thought it could be worth mentioning that there's a device request thread on Cyanogenmod forums for our beloved Idol 3 :
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/111850-alcatel-onetouch-idol-3-55/
May I suggest that everyone who wants a Cyanogen rom to be ported on our phones should take a minute to register there and add their voices to the request ?
There's already 24 posts in this thread
Already demanded it
Cool
Just made a post, but later found out that posting a request for CM does not guarantee anything. In the sticky it states
Now, what does this mean to you? First off, requesting anywhere in the CM forum, the CM Blog, or the Facebook/Google+/Twitter accounts for device XX to be supported is probably a waste of your time and anybody who reads said request. CyanogenMod does not work on device requests as there is no guaranteeing that a current CM maintainer is even interested in the device. Additionally, its not as simple as 'porting' code, the device trees must be coded from scratch and made to work with the AOSP sourced code and CM enhancements. This takes a large amount of time and effort, especially when the device's OEM fails to release the latest version of Android for it. Second, in hoping a worthy developer sees the post and decides to take up the project... well, that is probably just wishful thinking. Many developers do not like interacting with end users (too much finger pointing between both devs and users or anger directed at the devs for something working other than how the user expects - it happens far too often); because of that, many developers don't frequent the forum (or if they do, they only view the forums for the devices they maintain).
The best way to get a device official support is not requesting it from the CM team, but learning how to do it yourself or encouraging a maintainer of an unofficial build to submit their code for review. Many developers will work on unofficial ports on the xda-developers forum, so that would be the first place to check out. If there isn't any work currently being done, you can attempt it yourself. There is a pretty in-depth article in the wiki explaining a lot of the steps of porting a device (as the bottom of the wiki states, nothing can cover every single process of porting, but it is a really great start).

So it would need to be someone willing to take the time out to buy an Idol 3, if one has not done so already, and then port the code for our device out of their free time. And considering the userbase for this phone does not seem all that large to be noticed, I'm not sure if CM will work on our phones anytime soon.
Well thank you very much for your posts and your research.
I'm afraid you're right, but we had to ask
Let's not lose hope too soon anyway, the fact that the device request thread exist seems to be a good point. I don't know if any device had received a CM port because of this thread, but... why not ?
I've red that Alcatel and cyanogen had been in contact for a tablet. The project has been cancelled but this might suggest they could have access to resources that would ease their work (pilots ?).
Original rom on the idol is pretty much stock Android, this is a good thing too (well I'm not a developer but I guess it's easier when it's close to the original).
And, like you said, even if the user base is not that large, chances that someone from cyanogen got seduced by the idol (like we did) are still possible... (this is the moment where everybody crosses their fingers ).
Anyway thanks again !
The thread has now 31 posts (ah no, 32 webgaffeur just added his voice !)
Thanks to all the people that took some time to post there, let's not give it up : it's time to flood the forum !
i had posted the github with source for the phone but no one seems to respond not even one single admin? we can ask other devs crdroid pacrom dirty unicorns paranoid etc.
Alas, I think Brian is right : it's probably a waste of time posting on the device request thread
I checked devices with a lot more posts and views than ours and... nothing from a dev (like huyawei and Asus zenforce 5).
Asking to other rom devs will probably be useless also. Our only hope is that a competent developer buy an idol and start working on it... If this happens, I'm pretty sure he will share his work on XDA.
Well, meanwhile we already have root, twrp and xposed working, so I guess the best thing to do is to customise out phones till it suits our needs and that's all.
Let's hope also that Alcatel will continue to push updates (marshmallow ?)
Anyway thanks for your efforts Gecko.
Sorry, didn't mean to rain on anyones parade. Just wanted to let everyone know what the stickied thread on the CM forum for device requests stated. I'm not saying it won't ever happen, just that it might take some time to get a valued reputable dev who owns, or wouldn't mind purchasing the Idol 3 and working on it for us. Most dev's accept donations of devices that want development on from the users, so if we were able to locate and contact a reputable dev, asking them if we were to provide them with the device, would they mind porting or creating a ROM for it. It's worth a try. Maybe start a bounty or fundraiser etc. I myself do not know of any dev's that would be willing to work on this device as the ones I do know of have only worked on Samsung devices.
I don't know any dev at all
P.S. : thread has 34 answers now !

This is what the developer said about his project
MAKE CLEAR some questions..
Hello every body. I need to make clear some questions here.There should be no misunderstanding.
1.I will make no threade on XDA or 4PDA. Ok, you can say, thats i can get there some help) I am not new on XDA and 4PDA, and i known exactly " how much help i can get there". No way)
2.I am working along. Btw i known all worthwhile huawei developers, it is few guys(can count finger on one hand) Some times we talking privat in search of solutions.
3.I never publish what i do. I mean device tree, vendor tree and source..Why?? Because i dont see any point, it is typically for Kirin SoC, you need just to improve it for our device.
It was so with Honor 2 and will so with Honor 7.
4.For future . I think you all waiting for ROM release, but not many of you noticed that every one can still now donate to project. Every one still now can show how much respect a job. I dont decided how it will released, mb i will do it like with Honor 2. I have a closed group for donators(group have 100 members for Honor 2), how really want develop a project, go forward..
5.I known that i get many bad words to me after i publish it. But i really known myself what i "must"....I owe nothing.
6. I hope you all can undestand what i means, if not, am sorry) and wish you good luck. And wellcome who want to stay here with me)

Another avenue we could explore is to port the ROM from the huawei P8, that has the same SoC as the honor 7.
The dev has done a really good job of being public about this see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...-huawei-p8-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3451457
From the facebook post of this Cyanogenmod Dev it suggests that we'd have to pay for access to his ROM which makes me feel rather uneasy, I'd donate and I'm happy to do so but let it be my choice

but not many of you noticed that every one can still now donate to project
I think is difference. You have allways a choise.
Can i ask one more questions? You blabla makers.. Phone is 2 years old, i dont noticed that some one here tried to build a CM for this phone.. Why? It was a lot time for that. It is fact, no one tried it.. I started 4 month befor, i got this phone 5 month befor.. And i dont thinking about guarantie or somethink like that.. I just started. And i did it.
Here can only blalblabla.. It is true, or you want to try? I can share startup device tree) you can start write now..
You have always a choise, depence of how you see a future.
You said you will not release it on xda then talked about a private group for donors .
It's either my english is bad or yours is.
Yes it's more than a year without a custom Rom and it must be alot of work to stop other people from working on this device and to cost you months working on it but no-one denied any of that in fact the whole forum was exited by your video of CM booting up.
It's a public forum so basically part of it is "blablablabing" with other users about shared topics.

Some are good at blablabla, some are good at development. Let them work on their qualities which they have.
I can understand the frustation of developer by this post. BlaBla people should not expect everything for free. This is worth to pay from my point of view. But XDA has trained us to get us all developments free. So general mindset is also causing problem.

Its the mindset created by the ancestral devs who gave it for free. Basically, not ready to pay for anything. But need to get the best one.
Getting those donators is also a big thing. If those people are in XDA, those names can be posted.
In my opinion it would help every Honor 7 user if you would make your work public. There are only benefits in my opinion so why don't start a thread on XDA posting about everything?

Hi, you didn't give elements for this problem, so i ask :
- is this issue for all apps ?
- only for apps who need GPS ?
- does GPS work ?
- did you give authorisation for services Google play and playstore for location ?
You also could provide your build.prop

I hate to be the one to ask, but does anyone know of any DEVs that are working on making their own source code for the fingerprint reader? I don't want custom ROMs without a fingerprint reader and I don't really want this phone without custom ROMs. A large factor of me buying this phone was due to OnePlus having excellent community support, which this one does, but that is all null and void for me with broken fingerprint on third-party ROMs. Guess I joined team OnePlus at a bad time -.-
Yes many people are working on it recently a omni dev had a breakthrough and almost got it working give it some time and it'll be working...
Good things come to those who wait. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend.
Looks at top thread ... Wonders why this one was started.
Bear in mind that this is one of the first phones with an ud fp scanner. Give it some time, we really got super devs behind the scene working on it. Be glad that this phone has allready sow many custom roms waiting for the fp solution.

Question has been answered, No further reason for this thread to live on.
Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.
sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.
hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support
bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".
@McFy any news?

Not asking for an ETA but noticed this is your last post on XDA - everything ok?

Nando, I don't have a Telegram account, but if someone starts building and need testers I would gladly volunteer. Just let me know here either on this topic or via pm.

I'll be honest - I don't know what any of that says and for the next ten days I'm stuck on mobile (vacation!!) so if you could translate that would be great.

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Thank you for that.
?
Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.
Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!
So, another month's passed. Any news?
anyone in contact with the developer?
so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
