I dont think there is one for that as that is not an official version of Android. Very few China based Android phones are supported by AOSP. You may have to start it yourself if you want it. The first thing you will need to do is have the OEM post the kernel source code for the device. This will be your biggest challenge. As most China OEM dont respect the GPL laws

Ok
What if there is no source of kernel? Can I use compiled kernel (3.0.13) from current firmware (4.0.3) or this is impossible?

Without kernel source your kinda out of luck. No that kernel will not work on AOSP as that 4.0.3 is not an official android version. It is a hacked together version. Your best bet would be to sell it and get something that is not a knock off.

Got to write to the OEM. Only they will be able to release the kernel source. Good luck. Dont hold on to hope though. They are not forced to post kernel source like everyone else.

Don't you know is it real to compile with another kernel for same CPU MT6575?
Found some links to kernel sources for other phones - seems to be working for different devices.
Hi guys. 2 months ago I've came into Android World deeper than before and now I'm very fascinated. I downloaded linux, all the necessary files to compile a rom but I still don't understand some things.
My device is Redmi Note 2 and I use stock MIUI 7. As we all know mtk and/or xiaomi haven't released kernel sources (6795) so developers have to think hard how to make a rom. And there are my questions. Does kernel source is really necessary? What if I compile rom successfully and then port boot.img from stock? Will it work? However developers made some roms based on LP for this device. And I read that I need device tree and vendor, which doesnt exist for redmi note 2 or I still can't use github.
Second question which I have is: does compiling for 64 bit CPU differ from compiling for 32 bit CPU (like 6592)? If yes, could you give me some tips?
Ohh I think you can understand what I wrote
Thanks in advance and please dont blame me for silly questions
If you are looking to compile roms then you picked the wrong device to do it. They are the worst with kernel source. You can't completely compile a rom but use a patch system that does most of the work.
Yes it is different. There are some Tuts around but they are few as most don't use that type of chip.
If you really want to learn to develop then I would suggest getting a different device. One that respects the copyright and gpl laws.

Good news I have a working Linage OS 13 build for the lg stylo 2 Plus GSM. Thought it was bug free still has some issues though . My PC took a dump I have the sources saved on my hard drive I will have a new PC on Feb 6 and will release the Rom For Free probably with in a few days from then. As I'm almost done porting a working lineage OS 14 for the device.
I will update the device tree on Github So I can get help from other devs to trouble shoot these issues better and collaborate works. I will also include a working recovery with the Rom for free . I am doing this in my free time so please be patient .
I will keep you posted ?
Any people interested in helping let me know.

Not at the moment I had the backlight on my display burn out . had to flash the stock rom back for warranty purposes and for some reason every time I try and back up via twrp the data gets corrupted.
So the only place I have a working Rom is stored on a hard drive and I get my PC back on the 6th this month so it will be up soon.

Got the new laptop up and running building starts tommorrow.
All souces are downloaded . I will start building the device tree tonight hopefully by end of week myself and @messi2050 will have a working lineage OS build for the ph2n. I stood up all night working on the list of proprietary files need for the build.
Now comes the hard work of adding all the required blobs to get it all functional please be patient. As we are doing this in out free time. Once the device tree is all setup it will be a lot easier to port other roms to this device such as omni aokp DU and so much more. I chose a 13 build as I'm new to this and its a lot easier to port a Rom that has many components that are stable with the version.
If you appreciate our work buy us a cup of coffee. Or hit the thanks button for the Devs working on this build .
Thanks to all the xda community.
We should work on a changelog concerning drivers for cheaper models like my tmousa k550.

has one repository done for device /device
i have the other kernel/
i am working on the blobs using @JackpotClavin utility tool to pull all the blobs needed for the build. once we have a stable tree we can work on building other roms.
Good news we have the the last branch to the tree built so builds will start this week sometime. We have a lot of work ahead still so be patient.
Tree source and blobs are on github.

Both you and Messi are doing amazing things. When this is done, both of you are getting a cup of java (I couldn't resist Java instead of Joe or Coffee). I downloaded the jackpotcalvindonkey thing yesterday, did the make on it, but didn't get it out.
Btw, your github shows no public repos.
Well that was quick
Hello, I decided to come up with a project that aims to port higher Linux versions. When I say higher Linux versions, I mean those that are Linux 3.5 and up. The goal is to port Linux major updates as high as I can, but the main priorities are one that are LTS like Linux 3.10, 3.14 or even 3.18.
Only Android 7 will work on non-LTS versions. Oreo/pie and Android 10 support will be added only on LTS versions to lessen the conflicts when merging non-LTS versions.
What works:
Boots
Battery
Charger
Touchscreen
Display
USB
Sound
Buttons
Deep sleep
Camera
Video playback
Fingerprint
The rest of the sensors
WiFi
Bluetooth (works on Linux 3.7 and up)
Internet connection
Anything else I can't mention
What doesn't work:
You tell me
Drivers that can't be updated (yet) due to them being heavily modified by CAF and Samsung:
USB
Sound
MMC
Newer versions are more stable than the other due to the fact that I fix more bugs with every update.
The highest version as of now is Linux 3.8. I can only merge major updates during weekends due to my work.
Sources:
Linux 3.5
Linux 3.6
Linux 3.7
Linux 3.8
Linux 3.9
Feel free to open up issues and submit pull requests
It is highly recommended to delete mpdecision from /system/bin/ before flashing

What a Huge Task! As Well as a Pain on the Ares!
Now, I do Have a few Q's for you.
1 IS this "Kernel Patch" Just for your beloved Galaxy S5's ?
2 Will this be for the "Basic" Kernel in an OS (e.g. LineageOS) ?
3 Wouldn't this hurt some of the "Custom Kernels" that we currently have and use?
And of course I must ask, how far do you intend to take this (e.g up and coming 5.7 ) ?
That Said, I am in! I have downloaded all the Kernels . Mostly to compare your changes. Have also saved your GitHub page.
Am wondering though, With some of these "Custom" Kernels..... Wouldn't we see much faster , smoother , and hopefully more Darn Battery with some of the Tweaks that we have with them? Or at least with some kernel manager?
Or, would these break those Kernels (now thinking about it)?
Certainly will be watching this!
Again , this is a huge task to undertake! Sure would love to see 4.1 and above for our phones. Maybe with Your updated Kernel, we could really see some major changes with our phones.... Plus, hopefully easier to Port into the likes of Android 10! ... or Of course jumping a bit here, and a bit positive, but Android 11 !
Good luck sir

1. This is a full Linux upgrade. Nobody has ever done that to our beloved S5 cause it's a truckload of work
2. Uhm, I don't know. LineageOS is very strict on what kernel base to use, but I may propose to use this as a base when I reach 3.10
3. This project might be a good base for custom kernels since it is more updated and I will use this base too for my future custom kernels
4. As far as I can and as long as it works. Of course, I don't wanna die yet by not going too far.
Certainly, it won't break any kernel managers. You can even clone the latest source and add some custom features. It's up to you, but right now, in the process of upgrading, I won't be adding any custom features

Nope, S5 only. And at this point klte only until @pascua28 is finished bringing the kernel up to 3.10
Only working properly is klte, for now. Other variants might work but with bugs. Will fix for other variants when we get to 3.10

How to Install:
1- Make a backup of your important files
2 - Unlock bootloader with this guide
3 - Flash the TWRP, link here
4 - Move Rom & Gapps (optional) into device storage
5 - Full Wipes
6- Flash Rom & Gapps (gapps are OPTIONAL)
for GAPPS:
Choose Gapps Package ARM64 > 7.1 > Micro and below: visit OpenGAPPS
If during the gapps flash it gives you an error then in the TWRP terminal or on the adb shell you have to execute this command: "mkdir /tmp/bin"

Hi Red. I was taking a look at the ROM repository on GitHub, and saw that the default branch is now named cm-13.1. So, are you now working on an Android 6.0 ROM for the M5c?

I have a slight indecision, now I can not carry on the Custom ROM because I do not have the right PC but when I am able to compile it, I will evaluate which one can work better

I see. I would say that in the long run Lineage 14 would be more worthwhile, since Android 6.0 is becoming outdated, with no support for some apps. But really, I just wanted a ROM to replace Flyme, and its bugs. Also, many of the apps I use don't work, or don't work right on Flyme...
These days I was taking a look at /e/ OS. I've been thinking about venturing into porting this ROM to the M5c. For me it would be a challenge, since I've never done this before. But unfortunately at the moment I also don't have a PC that meets the requirements to compile the ROM

You are right. However, /e/ has some nice features like e account synchronization, an app store, microG, and some of their apps... Of course we could get that with LineageOS, but it is interesting how /e/ already brings that well integrated and ready.
By the way, I am also looking at other non-Android systems, like Ubuntu Touch...

Well, from what I've been reading the process is similar to porting LineageOS. You just need the kernel sources and the device specific binary blobs. I'm guessing you know how to get them, don't you?
And the interesting thing is that there is a layer, called Halium, that interacts directly with the hardware. And that is actually what you should port to the desired device. Then you can install any Linux system on top of this layer, like Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, etc, and these are distributed pre-compiled.

Mhh ... good, you are informed, however the vendor blobs are bull**** to take, the problem is the kernel sources but Meizu has not released them. However, some time ago I booted a Custom kernel based on ALPS (A custom AOSP from Mediatek to be clear) but the touchscreen doesn't work and I'm looking for a solution around but that I can't find
P.S: Fixing that kernel has great potential, forget android 7, you could also boot android 9 with sources, but as long as they are still working

Thanks for the clarification! It is a shame that Meizu does this (I wonder if they are not violating the terms of the Linux GPL license by distributing the kernel without publishing the modifications made to the source code).
Anyway, if a solution to this kernel problem related to the touch screen comes up, please let me know. In the meantime I'll keep reading Halium's documentation until a solution comes along, or until I get a compatible phone.
Great work!
Hello. I've been testing this ROM on my M5c and love it. The ROM is very good, fluid, lightweight... the only problem is that the camera doesn't work, as well as the cellular network data. Congratulations for the excellent work.
The ROM will no longer receive bugfixes?
pls compile
