OR...since this is Developers site, why not learn something, and take up development yourself and provide to the Community.

I am a novice and I would like to contribute to the community. Please be kind enough to support me through this Thanks all...

There is atleast two topics about it already, but hey, it's so good. Spread the word (=
there's already a thread in the guides section. kindly check first before creating a new thread.
Does overclock possible now?
Thread Closed, we already have threads on this topic and posted in the wrong section
Thanks
Since the Xperia M aka nicki is no longer maintained I decided to start my own build and I thought I share it with the community.
Full Disclosure: I am not a developer. If there are bugs in any build, I cannot solve them. So always do a backup before flashing.
Also if you do not know how to flash: leave it be. I will not help with flashing problems.
I will try to keep it up-to-date.
You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7J1cVOauuana0l0NG1GWmE1aWc/view?usp=sharing
Android: 7.1.2
Security Patches: May 2017

Thank you bro for sharing and keeping the device alive ?
Btw you should consider posting this in android development forum so that people know abt it

I intentionally posted not in the development section, since I am not developing but only building.

Bro you shouldn't post it in original development but you can post it in Android development as you are building the rom for the device and many of the people port roms they also don't develop nor fix bugs but post it in Android development as they are building the rom for the device
sir @Komapatient , can you please share the source kernel or ROM?

Hi,
I don't understand your request. I pulled the sources from LinOS Git. There is nothing done on the source.

So basically you're keeping the ROM updated with latest changes from lineage OS source code , I mean bug fixes and security patches etc.

Yes. As a courtesy to the people who cannot compile their own ROM and to give s.th. back to the community who helped me a lot of times.
Hi @Komapatient,
Glad to see you once again around here, think we last talked when you were using the Xperia V on LineageOS.
Happy to see nicki is not fully dead and that its users can benefit from newer builds.
However there's a big concern here, I pushed the Nicki official removal for two important reasons :
- Device sources are no longer updated. If there's no real issue it's fine, but might appear.
> Issues like autobrightness flashing in a weird way upon device wake/unlock is among the biggest issue fixed / wip since the changes stopped.
> Checked in my huashan sources to find common relevant things for nicki, I just pushed an overlay cleanup and fix for MMS non-Data use.
- Kernel sources are highly outdated. To put this in a easy way, we can judge the security status
> to be around December 2016 and February 2017. Therefore the security version you share here is only the ROM sources,
> though a good portion of the security patches are actually to be worked upon for each kernel.
You can find our internal CVEs vulnerabilities tracker concerning the nicki 8x27 kernel here : https://cve.lineageos.org/android_kernel_sony_msm8x27
Someone should at some point stand up and start looking at them one by one,
fixing the ones related to the kernel version by cherry-picking, testing then pushing to gerrit.
You can take my sony_msm8960t kernel as reference if you wish, only the most recent CVEs are a work in progress,
and you should therefore easily see which CVEs concern your 3.4 kernel and find the commits in my history.
I'd gladly merge commits uploaded to gerrit if they are valid and properly authored / clean.
Hope this makes the current status of Nicki a bit more clear.
Bye.
@AdrianDC
Thank you for your clarification. The kernel sources are indeed a bummer, but as my coding skills are below zero. Sadly I am not able to help here out.

Trying to "steal" my commits from sony_msm8960t would be a good start,
you can also check the commits tags on Gerrit to see the CVE 20xx-xxxx related numbers
when the information was set as topic, helps clearing the list too.
Since the work is already done on our side, it shouldn't be a giant work to do,
and would be a good place to start with + bring back some security updates to the device.
Please try to update this rom

Hi all
I have been started to work on gemini for two weeks (switched to gemini development from my old phone Galaxy W)
I didnt get the device yet (but will get it as soon as possible, probably in 2 weeks)
However i started to work on it, and i really wonder "upstream linux kernel 4.4 can be ported to gemini? and why not?" after i saw CAF added msm8996 (our device's chipset family) support into Linux 4.4 kernel
As you already know our main kernel version is 3.18 right now,
Whats the benefit of 4.4 kernel:
-Nearly thousands of changes which some of them are bugfixes and some of them are new sweaty kernel features :good:
-Better power management
-Better memory management
-More secure (vulnerability fixes)
- And so on
So i started to work to port CAF 4.4 into gemini
- i just forked CAF pure,vanilla 4.4 kernel which support msm8996
and started to add xiaomi mi5's drivers + device specific changes
its very very WIP stage right now
TODOS:
- Merge all gemini drivers and device specific codes into kernel
- Fix all merge conflicts
- Update driver kernel API calls into 4.4 APIs (that is the hardest thing)
- Fix all compilation errors
- And hope for boot
İf anyone has an ability to contribute/help etc. and/or interested in this project , it would be really appreciated :good:
Here is the source code: https://github.com/sirmordred/Kernel_LA.HB.1.1.5_CAF-4.4 "gemini" branch
Mod Edit
Thread closed by OP request/No longer supported.

And also to everyone: Kernel porting is really hard job and its a long run so dont expect miracles
i think it is worth waiting for
I'll wait and try when you uploaded Sir.
Wow... thank u sir..best of luck??
Wow well we do need great kernel for our gemini.... Thanks keep it up
another dev kernel for gemini, does it will support eas and vox populli?
Do you think other devs didn't try it till now? You can join our Telegram group to collaborate with the others that are working on it.

BTW: Why do you create a thread for a project which you barely have started...? It will be a long way and don't expect this to finish in 2017...
@33bca dude let him work Maybe he created this thread to have some help from devs ? some advices ?
BTW: Why don't you wrote here that he fork wrong branch but you just laughed at him on telegram ?

Main goal is the colloborate devs, people who work on gemini to make development better and faster,
And the giving info about possibilities what can be done for future development on gemini kernel
I joined the group on Telegram but is there any dev group which is less crowded (contains only devs)

Because of not talking about "xxx how to disable xxx option on xxx rom, when will xxxAndroidVersRoms come to our device" questions and talking about only development related things,
well, not problem for me, just wanted to say, lets talk via PMs then

No there is no such group... once we have tried to create such a developer group it did not work that well
PM should be fine for the most of the cases, but if you want to create a developer only group, you are free to do that.
Wow man it's brave to try porting to 4.4
If it gets to work it'll be a wonderful thing!
