Hello everybody,
I'm back on the forums after being away for some time.
In the meantime I got myself my own LG Optimus G to be able to get to effective developing for this device.
My opinion is that this device is a powerfull device with a lot of "still to be unlocked" potential.
Before I bought the LG Optimus G I used the Samsung Galaxy S Plus, which had a very active and good developers which even today still perfectly support this old device.
When that phone launched it contained Android 2.3.6, but today it supports even the Android 4.4.4 builds (unoffical).
One of the most important steps in achieving this goal was to move from the Samsung provided kernel source to the CAF (Code Aurora Forum) based kernel source.
Because I wish the LG Optimus G the same future as my old device, I would like to get busy with bringing up the CAF kernel codebase on the LG Optimus G.
This will be a big project which is why I request fellow developers which are interested in this project to please join and form a development team with a common goal.
What needs to be done is:
- Obtain official LG Optimus G (Android 4.4) kernel sourcecode from: LGE975_G_Kitkat_Android_V20a_Kernel.zip
- Obtain latest CAF Kernel codebase (chipset apq8064) from: msm-5bfc8718998bedfeea1997d83838ffd1981cbf12.tar.gz (Last modification date: 30-06-2014)
- Extract added LGE Specific code and drivers from the official LG kernel source.
- Set-up a team Github with the clean CAF codebase, which all the driver and LG specific code will be added to.
If you're interested in helping with this project please contact me or leave a message over here.
Please no spamming etc.

Hello everybody,
A little status update:
At this moment a 2-man team has been formed.
We have a team Github set-up for the development process this team will have.
The github link is: https://github.com/OptimusG-Dev-Team
If you are interested in giving us a helping hand with this project you're more than welcome.
Leave a message in this forum thread or contact me through a PM.
Experience with linux and also with the kernel is of course important.
Greetings PsychoGame
Bravo. Im hopeless in terms of what ever you code ninjas do, just wanted to let you know that i and most likely all in LGOG community greatly value this project. If you haven't already, perhaps PM some kernel devs as this would help in project gaining momentum and improved outcomes.
Happy to see that you're back psycho. Very brilliant idea. I hereby tag some devs to attract their attention. @faust93 @Loller79 , @jollaman999 , @Kevinjoa , @ThatKawaiiGuy , @xboxfanj , @JustinXu , @houstonn
Hey, I don't know much about kernel stuff, I'm learning Java atm so might be able to give tips. Not a lot though.
I don't have the Optimus G anymore (haven't since March), so I won't be able to do a ton, but I can help solve issues if/when needed.

I don't have kernel knowledge that much... I just referenced other dev's kernel sources and fix it to my style.
But thanks for mention to me.
It'll take some time, but I'm sure we get there.
Thank you for tagging some other devs inside this thread so it raises more awareness.
Everybody is welcome to join this project, for example clone the repositories, making changes and contribute.
That's exactly what opensource is all about.
And of course if you're interested in joining the team just send me a PM and I'll bring you up to speed on the progress/process and give you the needed information.
At this moment I'm also in contact with a official LG Developer which hopefully can provide me with some information that will help this porting process as well.

Generally, if you look at the branch of the libEGL_adreno file (using strings or hexedit), you can figure out what tag the OEM used (or branch) and then plop their source over that, then git pull the latest branch on top and fix any conflicts.

Thanks for the information xboxfanj . I never noticed the branch information inside the LibEGL_adreno files.
This also helps a lot with the extraction of the LGE added code as the branch is now as close to the LG used sources.
This keeps the extracted LGE patches as clean as possble to almost only include the LGE added stuff.

No problem. Let me know if you need help. Obviously, I can't test anything, but I should be able to help you get things building.
Oh, i noticed this thread just now.
I can help but i don't have much free time these months.
The idea is interesting from what i've seen, if you want another hand contact me via pm

Today we've updated the proj-kernel repository with fully patched kernel sourcecode.
With a few small 'hacks' we are able to build the j1vd-perf_defconfig to the end.
What remains is getting the updated kernel to boot on the Optimus G boards.
At least the project is moving forward.
Just wanted to give everybody a update on the progress we're making.
Greetings PsychoGame
Here I'm back with some great news for everybody.
Today the kernel which was built using our sourcecode has succesfully booted on stock KK rom from LG.
The next steps we'll be taking will be getting the kernel to work with CM11 as well.
This way I hope we will have a perfectly stable and up-to-date kernel for the Optimus G which will work for Stock as well as CM based roms.

very nice job mate. I think in this step @faust93 can help a lot.
Is this kernel work specific to E975, or will it be compatible with for example Sprint variant LS970?

At the moment it is based off E975 sources so it won't work on ls970 and similar.
Running it on my phone now and it works flawlessly.
Please thank a lot the team that made this possible and xboxfanj who helped with the project.
What's up guys? Is there anything we can help with? any test version or something?
I heard at devcon that a few guys are working on Sailfish ports for a few phones, including ours. So I decided to get them together with the devs here on the forum to get the port done. The place where the developers and porters of Sailfish OS are talking to each other is on freenode, so if you want to help them... just go there and join the channel #sailfishos-porters.
Warning: This is a developement project. So please only join the channel if you really want to help. Just going there to ask for ETAs or stuff like that won' t be tolerated. Also this thread should be a place for developers to collect ideas and fix bugs, not for the purpose of asking for ETAs. Please keep that in mind.
For the initial port I would like to thank @vgrade; information on how to install the port are in second post!

Let me know if you need any help, I'm new to porting, but I'd be willing to lend a hand and do some of the grunt work - if you need it.
I'm very interested by getting Sailfish OS on my One Plus.
I don't know how to install the build you'll provide but I suppose that you will give a litte tutorial with it.
I'm now following this thread !
Looking forward to this
@dansou901 might be of interest.

Good find! I don't have twitter so I wouldn't see this... @vgrade, will you come here again when you're back from Barcelona? @KINGbabasula, is MultiROM ready to go for Sailfish OS?
Edit: It isn't my work, I'm not in Barcelona on MWC this year (but planning to go there someday...). So it's vgrades work together with the other Sailfish porters (see the IRC channel I linked in OP).

That's just a followup from vgrades tweet, so nothing new. The information that he will share the build after MWC is down in the comments...
Guys Hi
As you see great progress made during MWC week on the port. Stskeeps from Jolla identified the bug stoppng UI coming up so we are go now.
Good to see the chase up on Multirom as this makes it easier for folks to test. I think it just needs to have a build which includes the sailfish patches included so any recent upstream build should suffice. On the add room page you should see a SailfishOs radio button.
Stay tuned for more details and drop into #sailfishos-poters channel on freenode IRC and say hello.

For those wanting to build their own images I've put my porting notes at http://piratepad.net/gVqPXuEGW4 , join us at #sailfishos-porters channel on IRC .

Hi Guys, it's been so many days Kernel Sources are released, and Syhost Provided Lollipop with RIL Bug, but now the excitement is increasing day by day. When the sources weren't released, Developers were saying to wait until Kernel Sources are released , to fix major bugs. But still no response. I appreciate Developers for Providing Custom Kernels and Updated Scripts in previous Roms.
I request you to post all Lollipop Related News over here. and about Developers work on Github.
Thankyou.
well,
just a suggestion
if u just want to know the LP work progress and collect the news/info into this thread,
maybe u should change the title,
cause the title it's little 'demanding'
and for the first start, maybe u could collect the link and put in here,
also give some brief update about the progress, for example
1. Mokee 5.0.1 (link to source thread/info) - status WIP - RIL bugs
and so on...
cheers

asking for ETA both explicit or implicit is a no no no... it's top rules in XDA.
if you want it really soon, use Mokee by syhost and try to fix RIL bug using kernel source code.
beside how hard is to see armani-dev commit in CM12 in github?
https://github.com/armani-dev/android_device_xiaomi_armani/commits/cm-12.0
Sorry I didn't get you.?
I thought of developing a kernel so that i can use it with my CM11 that im going to port shortly. I thought I'll compile the stock kernel from source itself. I use android pre-built tool chain (arm-eabi-4.6)
I get a lot of compiler errors on stock kernel without any modifications itself...
Do i need to change my tool chain?
Sent from my One V using XDA Free mobile app
I never tried to build the stock kernel, but I think they did it with the android 4.0 toolchain.
To run CM, you need a CM-Kernel. You have to port things from the stock or a custom kernel (like Hellboy by maxwen) to the cm11 kernel.
Try to use rastomanchiks kernel sources (https://github.com/rastomanchik/android_kernel_htc_primou). This kernel is mostly working, stable and has a good battery life now.
I'd also like to build cm11, but my download speed is to slow to download the sources.
Exactly. Even my download speed is slow. And i have a cap also. After 8GB, my download speed drastically decreases. It takes ages to sync the sources...
Sent from my One V using XDA Free mobile app
How different is Cm kernel from stock? I mean what changes should i make?
Sent from my One V using XDA Free mobile app
Cm needs many features which aren't included in the stock kernel and also you should get ION memory allocator working.

Actually I insist on porting myself so that I can learn building properly.
Actually these things are also interesting.. fixing bugs and all...
Have series of exams till May end. I cant build properly until then. I thought why not learn something..
Where did you learn about building and other stuff. Also I want to build the device tree on my own.
If you could specify some sources to learn, that would be grateful!

This is exactly the same point of view I had when I started some months ago
Sadly, there isn't much documentation about own device trees and own kernels out there.
There also is no reference device tree, so every dev does it in his own way. I'm always trying to have a clean, easy device tree and use the CM ones as a reference.
You can find some tutorials about building cm, but only with downloading a ready-to-use device config and kernel.
I just played around with it one or two weeks and learned the most.
If you have enough time, please at least try to get into this stuff, maybe we can get cm12 running.
You can reach me on irc in the channel #hov on freenode.

I have sufficient time only after May. Till then I'll have to do some research and learn the basics.
I saw on the CM wiki page, it says you can run a prebuilt kernel also... So would it work if we could tweak the stock kernel a bit?
And how do I apply patches to the kernel?

Yes you can use a prebuilt kernel, but it will only work if the kernel supports you cm version.
You apply patches to a kernel by changing files or directories in the kernel. For example you can use another fs module (maybe with more functions) by copy and pasting the folder for the module from another kernel. The problem is, the new module may require some functions your kernel does not have so it won't compile.

Hello everyone,
the question and disscussion is:
Do we get Lineage OS support in the Future? it does not matter if unofficial or official, but what do you think?
I saw the LeEco le Max 2 get some unofficial support, so it could be that some Devs will try it.
It would be awesome *_*
I think the problem is, that the community isn't that big like for the le Max 2, but maybe it will get bigger in the future.
What do you think? :good:
I'm running my own custom image of LineageOS 13.0. All is working as expected, but I don't have time to clean all the stuff to share it with public. I uploaded my sources that works in https://www.github.com/corvusmod, so if someone wants to build it, feel free
For L14 version, camera is not working already and will not work until Leeco release N for Pro3
I think, it's not discussion, but it is a question. So, it should be in "QUESTIONS & ANSWERS". Le Max 2 have bigger community, because this phone is cheaper and cheapest Le Max 2 was for 180-200$. This mobile is older. Our Le Pro 3 have few months and in future it could have more community and ROMs like this.

:fingers-crossed:
Who could we talk to in order to get official support?
I dont know, but to get official support there should be at first a stable unofficial lineage OS Version. I do not know much about creating ROMs but i hope someone does and will create a masterpiece for le pro 3
I hope so
I can continue cleaning of the LOS13. I have quite a bit of free time and want to get started on a project. If corvus doesn't mind, I'll make a thread on my progress and, eventually, some stable builds.

Hi @jts2111,
No problem from my side. TS team shared with me the sources, I modified them for Lineage, and try to do some tweaks (already uploades) and have some more in local, but causes some problems, so I didn't upload them.
With this image I get more than 3 days of batt time and a sot of 8 hours, so it's good for me. My only concern is that I was not able to make Camera2 HAL working to get manual settings. But I have little time to test, so any help from this side is welcome.
Only one thing, please, share the code in a public repo so TS, me or any other developer can see it and work together.
Thanks

I've been trying to build slim from the repo you forked, but it keeps telling me I have no recovery, and ends up erroring out. I tried on ubuntu 16.04 lts though, could be my issue. Gonna try your lineage 13 version.

For Slim, please use the fork from where I get the code. See it in github. It's TS source, so it should work.

Hi @jts2111,
No problem from my side. TS team shared with me the sources, I modified them for Lineage, and try to do some tweaks (already uploades) and have some more in local, but causes some problems, so I didn't upload them.
With this image I get more than 3 days of batt time and a sot of 8 hours, so it's good for me. My only concern is that I was not able to make Camera2 HAL working to get manual settings. But I have little time to test, so any help from this side is welcome.
Only one thing, please, share the code in a public repo so TS, me or any other developer can see it and work together.
Thanks

I forked your repo and shared it in my post. I'll work on what you mentioned. One of my top (long term) goals is complete CTS compatibility. With safetynet passed, there'd be nothing that would really pull you back to stock.
Definitely, I'm preparing the Kernel code after code to ensure we get a very clean and functional Kernel for the future, instead of just merging the one from LeEco with more than 80% of unneeded bits due to their other devices being at the same place (shameful).
This will get a ~30MB Kernel reduced to around 12MB and thus make custom ROMs perform a lot better and boot immensely faster after all.
I'd only need one sense of common attitude which is asking LeTV to keep the Kernel source up-to-date when they launch OTAs as well, I've seen some comments regarding their image stabilization fix at latest release (OTA) which is only possible at Kernel/blob level and thus if we want to have this feature working (at least partially) we need the source code "right off the bat" to get those fixes. Please, make pressure on their forums for 5.9 x720 Kernel source code and for nougat preview builds, I'd appreciate to even help with their own EUI for that matter, I'll see if I can get in touch with them concerning those points.
Do we have someone from China or someone with experience with Chinese so we can attach our discussions there?
I do hope they keep the open source up to date, but it seems they are doing the bare minimum to apply to Google's open source policy. I'm in the US, so I have the x727 with 1 SIM. We would need someone to test with a x720 as well.
@GalaticStryder, Leeco only will post the sources needed to avoid license problems with GPL, so dont wait much help from them. But we can ask...
@jts2111, I have a 720, so I can test your builds.
@jts2111
I received my X720 this week and I could also test your experimental build.
It would be nice to already start with a LineageOS custom ROM as first ROM to avoid a lot of reinstallation / reconfiguration of apps with other kind of custom ROMs.
