Introducing CyanogenMod for the Asus MeMO Pad HD7
I have been working on CM 10.1 for ME173X for a couple months now, it took me a while as I had never heard of MTK before I got this device. I have come to a good start point for anybody that wants to build for MTK devices.
Anybody should be able to use this source to start building for there own device, so please do not ask if this can be ported, you can build it yourself.
RULES OF THIS THREAD:
1. Do NOT ask for an ETA!
2. Do NOT ask if this can be ported to another device!!!
3. Do NOT PM me with questions about this, if you are trying to develop for another device then comments are welcome.
4. Please use the thanks button instead of posting a thanks reply
Let's keep this as clean as we can to help devs get going and contributing to the development.
This is an alpha build, so expect nothing to work.
Links will be up soon, please be patient.
If you would like to help in the development, you can initialize the repo with this command to get started. For now these are simple changes that should get you to a point that it will boot. The only thing required is for you to set up your device files. This also includes my latest CWM based recovery so it should work for small recovery partitions.
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/BSydz-MTK/android.git -b cm-10.1
My sources can be found here: http://github.com/BSydz-MTK
Kernel Source can be found here.

adb sideload out/target/product/ME173X/cm-10.1-20140322-UNOFFICIAL-ME173X.zip
You will have to change the date according to the date of build.
Change logs and other details
This will be for change logs and details about issues and fixes
General instructions for building
Build Instructions:
1. Build Environment:
You will have to have your Android build environment set up, here is a guide, you do not have to "download the source" at the end.
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
2. Create an Android directory on your computer:
This can be named anything you like. I use /CM-10.1-MTK.
3. Open directory in terminal
4. Initialize the repository:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/BSydz-MTK/android.git -b cm-10.1
repo sync
After everything is downloaded/synced:
This downloads prebuilt files for CM
Code:
./vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
5. Connect your device to the computer and make sure adb is working
6. Pull files from device: Note: Some files may not have permission so you may have to pull them from the device manually using root explorer or similar.
Code:
cd device/asus/ME173X
./extract-files.sh
cd ../../../
7. Build:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch cm_ME173X-eng -j4
Optional Build:
Copy BSydz_ME173X_build.sh to the root of the Android directory, i.e. the dir you created and are using for your build.
This will give you information through out the build, like what step it is at and how long the build took.
Code:
./BSydz_ME173X_build.sh
Most Common Errors:
make: *** No rule to make target
discription:
This simply means that the file that it is being told to build is not where you said it would be.
Solution:
Make sure the file is where it is supposed to be.
First off, this is stellar. I'm pretty sure you just managed to achieve the impossible. You'll go down in history as the man who got Cyanogenmod on a MTK device! Congrats!

Thanks, but I am not the only one. Lots of credit goes to xplodwild, chrmhoffmann, and bgcngm. I am just setting it up so that it is accessible to anybody that wants to help. They have made more progress than me as far as getting things working, I just know from experience that if you put the code in front of peoples face, they will be more likely to contribute something to the project. Since we don't have that base to start from, I figured I would put it together and let everybody at it.
Congrats !!!! Would try a build this night !!
Thanks for your work b !!!!

edit:
short feedback:
The build process runs very clean !!! and ends with no errors. " cm-10.1-20140323-UNOFFICIAL-ME173X.zip "
i think your work is an very good base man
...i had only 15 minutes to playin around with, because i musst work
For the very first cm Alpha on MTK it works very good....
THX again,
sorry did read this now...
Remember this is just a basic boot, nothing works. There is no sound, wifi, bluetooth, and there is still an issue with the mounts and permissions. So the sdcards don't work. I have updated my github and you should be able to build a bootable ROM from it. I will post a link for the flashable ROM after I get a few things taken care of.
Thank you. you get all the goodies. Have no guess. about the beta release.?

I am working on it. I am going to build cm11 and omni to see if it will work for our device. I am currently modifying CWM 6.0.4.7 to fit on our recovery partition to be able to install them. Once I figure out what needs to be done I can back port it and go from there.
Also our device is mt8125, so there may be slight differences.
Remember I am only one man, and building takes a while between changes. And this is my only tablet so I don't wanna just leave it in dev mode.
Plus I lost all of my backups cause my sdcard just died trying to remove it from my broken SD slot. That will be the last time I use a drywall screw to try to take out my sdcard ... lol.
Please be patient, this is uncharted territory, and this is my first MTK device.

I believe that in the Wiki CM thread, that they mentioned that stock kernel only works on CM10.2, not CM11, so try CM10.2/Omni4.3. There's also this: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/topic:mt6589,n,z on gerrit, perhaps you can try that wifi fix, by renaming it?
I need a 5.1.1 ROM for my Xiaomi Mi 4i, but most threads doesn't include the bugs, so I was wondering if someone could suggest me a ROM.
Thanks in Advance!
Lots of features - ResurrectionRemix

I'm with the same dilema that OP and have been checking the topics of each Custom ROM and users are complaining...
- CM12.1 dh.harald: bad battery life and memory freezes forcing reboot
- Resurrection Remix: random reboots
- Mokee: random reboots
So my question is, there is no stable custom ROM for Mi4i?

I forgot the rom name but there's a kitkat rom with no screen flickering issue by niropa (on lollipo bootloader). u can contact with niropa to solve screen flickering issue.
Yes,was in a wrong place, i have contacted a moderator, now is in android development.
Ok , i think cm11 its the most stable tree from cm team , i like KK because its more ligth weigth , i dont know why the developers wonma make roms unstable and buggies hehe , can u add a custom features? Like another toolchain? (Linaro , Uber) or new features from kernel? Like more i/o (zen ) , gpu OC or cpu OC?...
Anyway , Thank U its run great

unfortunately I am only at the beginning, I'm learning slowly how to create rom from source code, for the moment I do not know to create kernels with overcloclock or similar. I'm only 15 years old, and this is the second ROM in total which I compile
SLATE21&MOTOG said:
this rom works with all bootloader, kitkat and lollipop, but with the lollipop one you will get screen flickering. If anyone knows how I can do a build with no screen flickering can contact me in pm.

See PACMan builds with overkill kernel by niropa. Just search in that thread and you'll find many ROMs like CarbonKK or PA, which are made to work on LP bootloader
Will this work on msim variant also? I read you mentioned xt1032 but still if you know..
It might work, but has been tested only on xt1032 aka falcon.
tested on XT1033, very stable ROM, smooth ROM ever :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Stock cm11 kernel or something else is there? I can see "overkill kernel" that reminds me really good things

Yes, I have used Overkill kernel that @Niropa has used in his Pac-man rom build, with the hope of fix the screen flickering, but the problem remain. This is aniway a good and stable kernel. For more information see: https://github.com/ReaperXL2/Overkill_V4_extended/tree/cm-11.0

But are kernel sources updated? Or using it cause some incompatility such as hotspot, bt or something else?
All work fine, bluetooth and hotspot work. I have tested it, the only warnings are 3:
-Do not active kernel samepage merging, you will have problem in camera
-install gapps only after the first reboot of the rom
-If you use whatsapp install it before switching to ART (in developer setting, for better performance select ART)
There aren't particular bugs

Why gapps only on second boot?

Because if you install the rom and after the gapps and you reboot, the setup wizard crash. I have tryed it

Someone who wants to test my ROM? This ROM Is quite unlike other Note 3 ROM's. Is based on CyanogenMod.
Kernel in this ROM is the latest sources from Samsung with tweaks.
I am not responsible for bricked devices.
Don't work:
- Need to work more with SELinux.. Have some deniers
- You tell me
What is special about my ROM?
- Newer kernel source
- Lag free experience, because I have focused on GPU-source and PowerHall without overclocking. The key is efficiency
Mod edit: Links removed
Will test this out!
Edit: So far so good, but as mentioned below, battery drain tremendously. Though, it's still WIP so no complaints & thanks for your efforts.
Test and report,good to see different nougat projects

hey guys what kind of gappss did you use? i used the 7.0 open gapps stock one, but i can't get past the first few steps (select language, wifi and so on) as the play services keep crashing on me. I assume the gapps i use aren't fully compatible.

you must flash the rom along with gapps at the same time. If you first flash the rom and boot and then flash gapps you will face Google Play service fc's.
so
1. Flash rom
2. Don't boot and flash Android 7.0 gapps (Any)
3. flash supersu.zip if needed
poof done no force close

Hi, Thx for your feedback! Thats how i have done it (or how I always do it with AOSP Roms)
That's why I was wondering if I picked some incompatible Gapps by mistake.
May I ask you which one you picked? (Stock, full, mini, ore something else than open Gapps?)

You can't change the battery Icon within the status bar settings that's correct, however you can make the percentage appear within the stock battery icon. Go to settings / status bar / status bar icons". There, i have a setting for showing the percentage at the bottom of the screen, once I pass all the slider options for the icons I want to enable.

I think Android Pay is the cause of that trouble.
I'm so exited about CM14 on my note 3. One day i will try it. Have to wait now :/
Two questions.
1. Are there only two devs working on CM14 for note 3?
2. trader418 has one CM14 rom, but not that much time to work on it.
Can't you two collaborate on one rom, or at least a stable base that you can then work on separately if you which?
I'm asking this for as a user and not a developer this make sense.
Two cooks can be a good thing. :good:
Thanks for this rom m8.

This ROM is stable as hell and everything I have tried so far is working. Battery icon reads the correct info and the percent is showing in the icon. ROM is perfect.

Great rom mate. Hopefully you'll be able to fix permission pop up glitch and video camera bug.
Rom is so smotth and stable, no random reboot or force close either...
flashed and everything works perfect..christer you do great work..well done from me
by the way is there any way to change dpi on this rom?
Some of you have asked to me to open a thread for this ROM. I can't guarantee a proper support because lack of time but if you like it, this can be, at least, a meeting point for PA enthusiasts.
More info about AOSPA here.
Download
Latest version available here.
Installation
Sure you know: full wipe, flash ROM zip, flash gapps and reboot (or use MultiROM to install as secondary)
Bugs
Screen brightess issues (maybe enough or maybe too low for you...). Until fixed you can check Lux app from Google Play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite , thx @pappschlumpf for suggesting)
Tips
Default governor is Performance, you can switch to Interactive (for instance) using Kernel Adiutor or similar if you get too hot or fast battery draining.
Thanks
To all PA guys and people involved in this ROM and Mi Mix development.
Special thanks: @rhong , @VerucaSalt and @tidschi for testing, support and help to bring up this thread.
Source Code
AOSPA (modded vendor_pa and vendor_xiaomi for lithium)

Awesome! flashing it ASAP
(My previous phone was a OnePlus 2 with PA 6.0.2 so I have romantic feelings for AOSPA)
Yeah rom is verry good only. The Brightness is to low hope this can be fixed.. Thanks for the great work
