Hello fellow XDA members, I recently purchased a Le Pro 3 and a Le S3 during the flash sale and would like to use Cyanogenmod on my devices. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever ported a ROM before as I have not, and only know about the CM porting guide and opensource.le.com for the kernel source. If anyone has any tips or would like to assist me in porting CM13 to the Pro 3 please reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks, and let's hope LeEco releases the source soon!
Love to help but this isn't my department ????. But we should probably see more support in a couple more days once they start arriving here
Just out of curiousity, what exactly had you hoped to achieve with this post? If you're interested in porting, ideally you should at least be able to build a rom (for another pre-existing device)... and then you'll have to hunt down help on the CM forums and then eventually IRC.
Talking about this on XDA is pointless.

The purpose of my post was to see if anyone in the XDA community had experience porting a ROM to a new device, and if they'd be interested in helping me. I have read through a few guides and understanding building a ROM, but am struggling to find what I must "merge." From what I've found so far, I'll need to edit/merge the directories in /system/libs and edit the kernel?

No, it's far more complicated than that. You'll need a copy of the kernel for sure, but you'll also need a device definition. You can use the op3's device as a template, it's probably the best example of an msm8996 device you can have.
You really should be checking into the CM forums. CM people are pretty uppity about not supporting things on XDA. They also don't tend to help. Even as a developer I find it difficult sometimes to get their attention. Your best bet is to go to them if you want their help. Good luck.

Yeah, I understand. I also found out that it will be about a month until LeEco officially releases all of the source.

Where did you get that information from? They "accidentally" released kernel sources not too long ago and seemingly withdrew it. I got a copy of them and that's what I've been working with. I don't have a device to verify if any of it works.

I asked on this forum. Also my S3 is coming tonight, and my Pro tomorrow. I have a copy of the Pro 3 kernel source as well but as of now don't know what to do. What have you worked on so far?

Not a lot. I've identified the CAF tag the sources are based on and have been working to separate the relevant LeEco mods from the less relevant ones. I've also been attempting to remove the leeco specific things from the drivers that i'm keeping since they're a horrible mess and CM won't be able to make use of them anyway. I've also been finding the appropriate open versions of the drivers and taking the latest ones instead.
The mods from LeEco seem to be a mess, the dmesg output I got from a user on the chinese model (the x720) had segfaults from the modifications just after boot. The logcats are so full of errors I was unable to get the user to send me a full logcat from boot.
Interestingly enough, the chinese system rom looks like it came from a Le Max2. This makes sense since it's LeEco's first msm8996 device, and the Le Pro3 is the second one. I imagine the kernel sources work across a number of the 8996's.
Can you send me the link to where you got the open drivers.

This is not a International version? Its USA version? Where is the International source code?
Here's a mega mirror in case the drive link goes down.

Wish i could help more, but it looks like the kernel source is in there too, perhaps that means a fully functional cm13 rom that works AT LEAST as well as the stock rom. VERY EXCITE!

I'm also waiting for CM13.

Question for you guys.
Dev here (from such rootings as the Galaxy Tab 2, and fixing gps on the Wifi Sony Tablet Z).
Considering getting one of these (on sale at new egg for 279 this weekend)
What is the status of the Bootloader? Is is locked? Is LG allowing unlock?
How about root?

we have officially loki'd it but that is about it. We don't have a dev to do the rest. DJRBLISS added it to the list. PLEASE BUY!!!
EDIT* Which if you are not aware allows you to flash recoveries, roms and anything your heart desires. It bypasses the locked bootloader and gives your the same result of a unlocked bootloader.(so far all LG devices are loki compatible, been flashing for months on my G2 with that method) Just need to make a recovery compatible for our device. TWRP has a guide but we don't have a dev to do the work.
P.S. i just bought mine from new egg!
We've got root, but some people are paranoid about the method. A few of us have been working on getting a recovery working but we're new at it. I feel like I'm getting close.

I think I'm going to, the thing we need is a kernel source, which under the GPL we can ask for (they can ignore it lol)
2 of us at CMB (I know is a new never heard much of team rom, my rom) will have them, so if we can create (we being everyone here) a solid device tree we will be good to go.
I have a N5 and had an N4, I think the G2/N5/N5 trees will be the place to start creating one.

if you are willing to share what you have so far for a device tree, I'll see if I can make suggestions, and get started on it. I always give credit , and enjoy working with other devs
email me offline if you want [email protected]

These are untested by me as they failed to flash on Omni/DU (LVM) - If anybody else wants to report back, that would be great. These have not exactly been advertised so please don't complain to the developer or to myself.

I need someone who knows if these devices use the same base and everything to chat me on hangouts [email protected]
EDIT: I am still waiting if someone is able to assist.
How knowledgeable would the person have to be?
I can't believe people aren't jumping at the chance to help. We don't have a dedicated kernel dev at all for find7/s/a
It's not that I don't want to help, but I don't think I know enough to help.
But, I think I read it somewhere that the CM11 for Find 7 does used a kernel based on the Oneplus One CM11 kernel.
I hope @Entropy512 or maybe @maxwen can help
I know @ayysir used Franco for a short bit on PA. Outside of there you may have better luck on Oppoforums.
Can anybody help me? I cant flash this zip!
Everyone I am sorry, I wasn;t being notified of any updates on this thread, I now officially support Find 7/7a, but they are blind builds for the time being.

Nice to see you here mate, when i saw your name for the first time here i was like "i remember this name, he was an xperia u/p developer if i'm correct", and i was correct
I've tried your rom, it flashes without problems but it doesn't boot at all.
Here's a logcat i've taken : http://pastebin.com/u7gJgDYJ
I don't know much about building/compiling roms because i'm mostly a kernel developer (i sadly have my own limits even with that), if you need some help you better ask to @Kevinjoa, he's very experienced with this device and also a friendly guy

I would like to to download the sensei kernel but since the download is no longer valid I can't.
So I want to ask if some of you guys have an old download, and want to upload the file and link it?
Thanks in advance
yeah i wanted to ask that too, but maybe it is dead (no longer supported or compatible)
The savior has arrived.

I actually had no idea the Find 7 HAD a custom kernel.. If you don't mind my ignorance, could someone tell me with what ROMs it is compatible with and if it also works on the 7a? Thanks!!
I think its compatible to 5.0.2 roms not sure with 5.1.1 tho.
has issues with wifi etc2
I haven't tried it with lollipop but it worked perfectly in AOSP (4.4.4) ROMS. P.S: My friend had made this kernel. It was posted on XDA & OPPO Forums but since not many people thanked him it was discontinued.

yeah. works on 4.4 up to 5.0.2 aosp roms
but I wish he continued tho. oneplus one kernel is 90% identical to find 7/7s. wish more devs could make kernels and roms to this device but the lack of interest is low
Guys this kernel is alive. It back up and rolling after a long time.
This is the thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/fin...-kernel-r1-t3196306/post62727434#post62727434
Please show support and test this kernel and review it. Thank you.
Huawei has finally uploaded the opens source code for all of our devices (the 3 hardware versions).
I have reuploaded it to Google Drive for easier download.
Grab them here : https://goo.gl/DiAj78
Wooooowwww, if that's the sources all is getting great now. Xelfmade, make or phone great again ?
So anybody have the original download link?
Great news! I Assume custom roms etc will become available now once people have built them?
You can get the original downlaods from here : http://consumer.huawei.com/en/opens...Type=openSourceSoftware&pageSize=10&curPage=1
Just search Nova. The download speed was a tad slow.
Huh, i was asking them several times over the past days about the sources. Pleasent coincidence.

Oh wow Nice! My variant is the CAN-L01 one.
Probably it will work for any variant, even chinese ones.
But my problem is not the rom itself, is the kernel. I'm wanting to learn to mod and compile kernel just for this, as Nova kernel is awful to tweak.

I know that it will probably work for all variants it's just cool to see my one used as a base for a custom rom.
Do you guys have any guides how to apply these stock roms to unrooted phone? i want to get rid of the carrier crap that's why thinking to apply the stock rom. Thanks.
