Snapdragon-8228,8225Q,8212 development future?? - General Questions and Answers

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.

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.

I have the Xolo Q500. Pretty good device though but now its bricked. There is no custom recovery nor custom rom available for this device.

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

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

Hi. Thanks for using the XDA Assist forums.
The information you've provided is very generic and difficult to procure without more specifics about the device you're using. The best way to go about your quest is to first identify the device you have (Make, Model, Variant) and then visit it's development forum to learn about tweaking device features.
best of Luck.

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.

Info for Mediatek MT6582?

Hi,
Am trying to get information on technical aspects of Mediatek MT6582.
When purchased my Alcatel A460G the MT6582 was listed as dual core and listed by both CPU-X and CPU-Z.
Did search and only found info Only for 4 core MT6582.
Appreciate suggestions how to find info on dual core MT6582.
Thanks
Ken
Hi,
Forgot to mention I wonder if the Dual Core MT6582 is a Quad Core with 2 cores software deactivated or defective?
Wonder if there is any software that can check for defective CPU cores?
Thanks
Ken
According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores.
My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?
If so, is it possible to run a kernel or even Custom Rom built for the MT6582 on the MT8382?
Hi Cypher_01,
Thanks for your comments!
Have you Rooted the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 with MT8382? If Yes what did you use?
"According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores." Agree, hope there may be some software that can access the two other cores!
"My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?"
Did a search and found MediaTek MT6582 vs Media Tek MT8382 - System on a Chip http://system-on-a-chip.specout.com/compare/464-1080/MediaTek-MT6582-vs-Media-Tek-MT8382 and they are quite similar.
"If so, is it possible to run a kernel or even Custom Rom built for the MT6582 on the MT8382?" Good Question!

Hi ,
I have the lenovo A3500-HV and wanted the lollipop if the MT6582 are similar I think I will try with this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938
Even the marshmallow :silly:
---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------
After some searching I found that 2 things :
1- some one says mt8382 is fake (Chinasse)
2- and Mt8382 for tablet and mt6582 for phones ..
ANND I think I might skip porting and just try this ROM for my tablet :
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/08/cyanogenmod-carbon-rom-for-mt6582.html
(BTW sorry I didn't give any information about the real post ..)
This phone doesn't have a Mt6582 chipset, this phone have the Mt6572, but for some reason is edited in the build.prop to appear has the 6582, I'm guessing that they do it that way to avoid you to flash of another pixi 3 4" to the phone thru SPflashtools, and they make the firmware unrootable so you cant change the build.prop to the original chip set model, that is the only logic explination that I have.

Post your device information here to help porting

Hi all,
I am requesting every user to post the following info about their device the are using to help porters in porting roms from other device.
The following information should be posted.
1. Your device name.
2. Android version
3. Kernel version (this is most important)
4. GPU ( which GPU it has such as Mali 400, Mali 450, etc).
5. CPU (which CPU it has such as MT6572, Snaapdragon 650 etc).
You can get this info by installing CPU-Z or AIDA64 from playstore.
As for porting the most important things are
1. Kernel version must be same
2. Your processor must be of same manufacturer such as MediaTek
3. Its Gpu must be same.
By this success of porting is 70 to 90 percent so please i request you all to post your above given device info here.
This will become a list and will help porters to find right devices for porting.
Starting myself
My device is Qmobile X35
Android version 4.4.2
Kernel version 3.4.67
GPU is Mali-400MP1
CPU is MT6572
I have ported miui8, cm12.1, cm13, ressurection remix 5.5.9 and 5.6.7 on my device successfully.
Now i m going to port pure stock android lolipop on my device if i find same kernel version to my device with lolipop rom.
I hope this list will help a lot as it will have full list of all devices info.
