[PETITION] MediaTek to release Kernel Sources for all MTK65xx devices - General Topics

UPDATE:: WE HAVE THE SOURCES!!
Sony just released the complete source code for their new mtk6589 android the Sony Xperia C...Get downloading and let the development of custom roms, kernels and much much more begin..link below
http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-16-0-a-0-36/
Hopefully more and more manufacturers will follow suite and provide theirs too..Anyways this is a big win.
Finally, thanks to all of you who took their time to support us and help us get this.
Dear XDA members,
MediaTek is a leading manufacturer when it comes to mobile processors just like Qualcomm. They are responsible for bringing quad core CPU's like the MTK6589 among others. We have been waiting for a very long time for MediaTek to release their Kernel Sources so that we may tweak, mod and further development of the roms in our devices. The sources will allow us to port custom roms and kernels like Cyanogen ,Paranoid , AOSP, MIUI and AOKP among many others. This will be a major game changer for this processor as they prepare to launch the 8-core MTK processor.
My request to all those who see this(developer or not) is to take a second to vote, spread the word on any other forum and maybe this time they will hear us. Support our cause
It is about time this happened.
Thank you all for your time.
Be sure to vote in the Poll and feel free to leave a comment.:fingers-crossed:

i guess instead of voting here its better to sign petition over here

They are for Xperia C, the MTK6589 based phone!
I tested them, they are complete!
Archive is heavily compressed, when i uncompressed it, it was 2.2gb big!
Let the development start!!!!!!!!
I tried to use it to generate the complete rom
I can say it is incomplete ==> Cannot generate ROM even following the instruction enclosed.

Edit: The S6000 is MT8125 based. That's a cortex A7 aswell with PowerVR SGX544 however is it similar enough to the MT6589 to be of use? Also, there are mt6589 specific files in this source tree (under mediatek/platform/mt6589)
Bump.
Anyone got any further?

if anyone has a working build, please share instructions on how to do that.
Would be great if custom roms and CyanogenMod will be available for this great platform!
^ Agree. I would start working on trying to compile the cyanogenmod for this after I get the phone next week.

Kernal Source - A110q

Hi guyz
just in case if you guyz missed this update, Blu mobile has released kernal sources for their some devices. One of the device is exact clone / carbon copy of A110q. so if there are any developers who can take advantage of this, our device can have more improved ROMs and features rather than themed rom.

Snapdragon-8228,8225Q,8212 development future??

OPENSOURCE ISSUE​
I purchased 3 devices and i have to choose one for me and rest for my brothers,But i am confused which one i should use.
Xolo Q1100 with Snapdragon 8228 CPU & Adreno 305 GPU
Xolo Q500 with Snapdragon 8225Q CPU & Adreno 203 GPU
LAVA IRIS 406Q with Snapdragon 8212 CPU & Adreno 302 GPU​
I defiantly want to develop custom Roms and kernels but i cannot find any source codes of these.No sources provided by manufacturer and
nothing found on internet.My previous device was mediatek based.I am new to snapdragon.
Specification variations has no matter with device selection.I just want development and opensource.
SO any of the above processors have development future?
If any more info required then plz notify me....
I am mentioning here some good devs so they can give me advice.Sorry if you don't like my way.I apologizes.

Thing is although this phone is Qualcomm based and not Mediatek it is unlikely that the manufacturers will ever release the source code because they are Chinese companies but there is a chance. Search around being a Qualcomm device you might be able to find another device with the same chipset and with existing kernel source and use it.
Sent from my HTC One (M8)
Which one?
Well.it would be the best for you to pick up the first one in your list.:good:
because of several reasons which the first one is I.do have it myself, and I'm so pleased of that and secondly it's specifically designed to enable devices to switch seamlessly from app to app, enjoy breathtaking download speeds and play the hottest games and even enables best-in-class mobile experiences with all-day battery life.

Thanks for reply,and first one definitely seems good on specification table.But i need to choose device which has development future and for
that it must be opensource.So do you have any idea about sources for snapdragon 8228??And which device you own?
Well,as I said, I do have the first listed device and hopefully I have gathered some sources which were in chinise,
I had tried to translate some but most unfortunately I am not with my own PC right now but If I get there and if you wanted to,I can share them with you.

Avvio L500

Hi.. well can you made a llolipop rom for avvio l500 5" pulgadas
1gb ram 4 rom qualcomm snapdragon 400 1.2ghz andreno 305..
Or can you tell me a similar rom...this phone is made in colombia..thanks
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If you want a custom ROM made for your device because there are none already available then you will have to ask around in the forums to find someone willing, they will have to have one of the devices to get he ROM working properly, you may have to donate a device for them to do. Or you could learn to Port ROMs for yourself or even learn to build a ROM from source if the source for your device is available.

[Help & Support] Xiaomi Mipad Custom Rom development.

Hello developers of Nvidia Sheild tablet. We all know Xiaomi Mi pad hardware configuration are almost identical with Nvidia Sheild tablet with both having same CPU and GPU.
However due to recent release of MIPAD kernels(partial) link - https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/mocha-kk-oss
after a wait of 2.5 years of Tablet launch, we don't have much support and help left.
So we need some help and support in our kernel and rom development to move out of KitKat 4.4 MIUI OS which destroyed the Nvidia tegra K1 capabilities.
Hope some enthusiastic developers from Sheild tablet help us with Rom porting and kernel development. We have lots of tester available here at forum XDA MIPAD section and also MIUI forum website.
Please help!!
Some developer from 4pda.ru just ported successfully Sheild Lollipop kernel . But graphics parts of kernel still missing.If some developer from Sheild tablet can help us, it will be huge thing for us
Here is the link for further details :- http://en.miui.com/thread-439620-1-1.html
