Hi,
I thought this was not yet possible to port Cyanogenmod on Dual Sim devices, at least not properly, but then I saw this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246874
It gave me a real hope for the generic MT6589 device I am currently using.
I am new to all of this, so I hope I don't bother everyone.
Also, my device uses obviously different hardware, but uses the same processor, so I managed to install the above ROM and got it working but without any screen display.
In other words, it was working, and I could see everything as far as the installation wizzard was concerned, so I thought I was fine, but then when I was done and it rebooted, I could not see anything on the display anymore, but the phone was still working working.
So I am assuming some obvious hardware drivers differences, and that the old drivers were still working till I restarted?
Is there a way to modify the rom to make it work?
What files would I need to pull from my device to add/replace in the posted ROM to make it worlk, if that is possible?
Or does cynanogenmod have to compile with the files of my device to work, even though the processor bit had already been done?
If so, I have no problem in trying to compile cyanogenmod from scratch, but I will still get the dual SIM problem, and I thought this has been fixed in this ROM.
So what modifications would need to be done to incorporate the DUAL SIM issue, and make it work, or has this already been resolved upstream?
Is there a github or such of the modifications and alterations that were done to Cyanogenmod for this posted ROM in order to get it working?
I am willing to use those files and port it to my device, but without these modifications, I will not be able to do anything, even though the kernel sources for MT6589 are openly available now.
Sorry for asking this question here, but I tried to reply to the original post and it did not let me.
Is it okay to ask this here?
If not, please excuse me, and if you can forward me to the right place.
Thanks and regards

just as I thought.the kernel.
its not fr u. ask dev to create a kernel fr u!
Thank you for your fast reply.
Where do I ask?
Also, I was hoping to learn how to do it, and have the sources if possible, or at least how to modify the sources, because I have about three of these chinese devices, all using the same processor, but with different hardware.

I can see that, but I think with some patience I can do it.
Also, I have been using Linux for years now, and it seems I just need to figure out how things are laid out in Android.
And once I get used to that, then things become easier.
I am assuming that the linux kernel needs to be compiled with the specific drivers related to my hardware, right?
However, that would still not take into account:
- The changes made in Android/Cyanogenmod that take into account Dual SIM functionality
- How Cyanogenmod is actually laid-out, such as are changes done directly to stock android, or applied as patches?
I was thinking of the following:
1) Checking for the difference between stock Android and Cyanogenmod, and save aside the diff changes to make a patch file.
2) Then hope to find the sources of the stock android that has already been modified to work with MT6589, since these devices obviously use Android on them with some modifications
3) Then apply the patch made in (1) on these sources
Thus, I also need one important question answered:
If I were to download the sources for Cyanogenmod (which I already did), are the patches to the stock Android already applied, or are they placed in a separate folder, and applied on compilation?
I have this feeling that the above patches will probably not work out, because there will probably be extra functions, code that the patch will not be able to take into account, and will have some type of non-working or broken system, until I figure out what is missing.
I might get it to boot to a certain point (most probably shell like), and it would stop there.
Well, in either case, after writing all this down, I started to visualize more the hard part you are talking about, and this would require good knowledge of Android Code and structure.
Thus, if anyone can give me the required Cyanogenmod sources that have already been modified to work on an MT6589, or the diff patches between the normal and modified Cynogenmod, then that would be amazing.
Then I will have to only figure out at that point the propriety files I need to pull from the device, and specific vendor modifications.
Of course, I am just speculating, as this depends on how Android/Cyanogenmod is structured, and I could be completely off the mark, and have no idea what I am talking about.
Thanks

Never heard about that website before.
Not sure whether fake or real.
If you are not sure about any kind of site that claims for one-click-root, take my advice, don't try it. You may hard brick your smartphone.

So I bought the Honor 8 in China. This means that when I swipe to the right (from the homepage) I can see Chinese news, instead of international or English. Is there some way of changing that. All I want to know is how to access the settings for that feature.
Thanks

Mine is also having that. I cant switch it to english. I cant also find a way changing that so I disabled it by pinching the screen and click setting and disable HiBoard.
Can you change the source of news or the app to extract news? If you have any specific question that I can help you ask in the Chinese Honor forum, just let me know.

That would be great.
I was wondering, if I could link the news function to another application, I would do that. I searched the device for the source of the news and wondered, if I deleted it, would it provide me with the option of replacing it with another.
If you could ask, I would be most grateful.

From an authorized source, it seems impossible at this moment to change the news sources. But a feedback has been sent to the Huawei developer team. Hopefully, a future update can allow you to customize those functions. One suggestion given by them is to use a third party news source and ignore the Chinese news for now.
As the Chinese version of EMUI has more functionality, include more available Camera plugins and better AI designs, I hope you enjoy the default EMUI system, anyways.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with Honor 9, would be happy to find a solution.

You could try to flash the global OTA ROM (i.e. B360 or B385).

Some things in the Chinese forum that were suggested:
-If you haven't yet, turn on your location and refresh the news
- they said news is based on you specifically, like Google now news, so maybe after time it will adapt to your likes.
*To speed this up you could try going into the settings of the news and click on things you like (English news that is)
Sorry, wasn't much else

I tried to build it two times. The first built with no errors but the files weren't in zip format and I couldn't figure how to flash them. My second failed because I still need to get by build environment set up again. I just re-installed Linux a few days. I just switched to Linux Mint permanently a few weeks ago from Windows so I've been dealing with the transition. I have the source downloaded so I'll be tinkering with that when I have time. Hopefully something good will happen in a few days on my end. Till then this thread needs to be moved to the Q&A section. I'm glad you threw the question out there and hopefully others will join the party.

My guess is that they don't mind private builds. However, I would doubt they would be okay with a build being posted in a forum like this. Also, from reading their website it appears when you pay, you're getting the support of the devs directly as well as their updates pushed directly to your phone without having to do new builds like you will without a license. I could be slightly off but I think that was the gist of it.

Same here. I used to build ROMs for Samsung and AOSP is pretty foreign to me but I am learning. It's quite a bit for me between real life, a new OS and AOSP. It's cool though, my 40+ year old brain was getting a bit stale.... Anyway I tried again today for a few hours and made some progress. I successfully compiled a generic build but when I try sailfish I get a user error and it tells me to change user. Seeing that the official build isn't available for purchase I think they blocked the build process some way. I can compile Pure Nexus no problem so it's not my set up, probably their directions. But on the other hand it could be on my end. Either way I'll still be looking into it.
Is there a way to compile this os with gapps already built in for personal use. After building and flashing it on my phone I found the lack of certain Google services very annoying. Flashing gapps after installing the os didn't work. Also if you're on T-Mobile no data connection unless you change settings in apn, I wonder if flashing stock vendor img would help with that.

Hi all
I really appreciate all the info and knowledge on these forums but I do have a big concern which is I could be going down a dead end having spent many hours getting there.
Can I suggest that there is some very basic notes or a guide that will give almost yes / no answers, an example may be " Can any Android device have its OS updated to a later version?" or
" Can all required binary blobs be extracted from an Android device ?" and this will let someone know if they are looking at doing what cannot be done.
thanks Roy

Simple answer, not all android devices are equal.
Can the bootloader be unlocked, is it a Qualcomm device, is it a Samsung device?
Those and a dozen other specs affect the answers.
Thanks for the feedback,

But a simple flow chart could really help, simple yes/no so if you say yes to the bootloader can be unlocked then onto chipsets, so does it have Qualcom and you say no, then does it have Mediatek and you say yes it could say this is possible but now get reading the forums and learn because it is feasable and not going to take you to a dead end.
Yes/no answers would be too restrictive in some cases. A full answer would help you more.
Otherwise, you'll turn into a 5-yo:
"Yes"
"why?"
"Because 'this' is how it works."
"why?"
