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.
Thanks

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

glad I could help.
and don't bother .its my job to help new.
and pm me if u need smthing.
and please close thread.
Hello Everyone.
Good News for everyone. I have decided to maintain a help thread at Xperia L community in order to keep the threads for development/general section more clean and better organised. I have been noticing for a long time that whenever new users join, they still are not sure about the rules and thus mistakenly post in the wrong sections too often. If any senior member points it out to them, mostly it is either ignored or taken personally. Thus I have decided a combined help section would be very helpful to the community and the questions which are sometimes left unanswered and lost in question answer forums, that would not happen again for all of you.
I would be personally answering all your questions and shall refer you to someone in case I feel someone else would be able to answer the same question in a more detailed way. Other users can feel free to answer as well if you think you can tackle the situation well and make sure while answering any question, you provide enough information to the users as well. You can easily link the users to posts if you think a question has been already answered.
REASONS I AM MAKING THIS
Lots of repetitive questions.
Same things told again and again
Threads remain clean
A simple reference to every important thread that you should visit in case you have a problem
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Read the rules here XDA RULES BEFORE YOU POST
Idea of this thread is to help and to be helped. So ask any question you have in mind related to Xperia L, Android, or anything at all as long as it is related to Xperia L directly or indirectly.
Make sure you are precise with your information
Be Detailed
Do not repeat the same thing again and again
Use search button to find if your question has been asked before. Do not repeat your question if it is answered before.
WHAT INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE
1.Your bootloader status
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version
3. Kernel name
4. Any Mods you are using
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide
7. Root status
8. Your exact problem
9. Any method you tried that failed
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary
Make sure you provide as much details as possible. Things like my phone won't turn on please help would not be of any help to you or to the person answering. So please make sure you provide as much detail so we know exactly what is your problem and thus guide you in the right direction.
A sample would be something like this
Device: c2105
ROM name: CM 12 dated 10th May
ROM version and base: 3.99-RC2
Build number: CM_taoshan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G
kernel version and its settings: 3.4.0-thunderzap.kernel.plus [email protected] #193
Rooted
Sabertooth Mod
I can not use my WIFI. Although i tried flashing Wifi modules but it does not work.
I flashed CM over 1.5.2A.0.17 Stock
ETC

Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here! So anyone found doing that would be reported.
Another important thing is MAKE SURE YOU THANK THE PERSON who helps you. This is to show your appreciation to someone who personally took his time to answer your question. He had been nice enough to do it for FREE and nothing else. A simple thank you to his post will go a long way. The questions would be answered more and the one who is answering would be happy to answer more questions. So it is a gain gain situation for all of you. Read my signature because most people take help for granted here. So be kind to others and HIT THANKS BUTTON A LOT.

Hey, guys! Hope you're having a nice day! I'll cut to the chase now...
Now, I wanna downgrade my Xperia L from android version 4.2.2 to version 4.1.2. I know there already are quite a few threads on this topic but, I am completely new to all of this. I've tried following those and many other threads but have not been able to accomplish anything so far. Ha! I don't even what some of the terms mean.

Although everyone likes to have their own customisation in a ROM and what features they are looking for, it is very hard to pin point which would suit you best. For now , the best thing you can do is test few roms like Resurrection Remix, PACMAN etc and see what suits you best.
As far as your stablility issues are concern, the BSOD is major problem in 12.1. I suggest you go back to CM12 nightlies from official website.
next request: remove this repartitioning guide! its the best methode to hardbrick your device...

There is a similair thread at the Galaxy Tab 2 forum. It might be best to ask a mod to pin this.
And @Joel16, I still have the device in my possession. (It's eating dust in my drawer) I'll check here regularly to help users if needed.

Did that. He said it wouldn't be help to pin it. Maybe quote users to this guide be helpful as everything is arranged here.
Added warning to partition guide
Known Problems and how to solve it:
1.
- S (Situation)
the wifi dont work after flashing Thunderzap boot.img via fastboot/flashtool.... on every rom
- R (Reason)
you flashed the Kernel but missed the modules and settings
- F (Fix)
flash the Thunderzap.zip via recovery (no need to wipe anything)
2.
- S
i have no root on cm12
- R
not activated
- F
go to settings-> about phone
tap 7 times on buildnumber
go back to settings-> developeroptions and activate root
(alternative you can flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
3.
- S
i am not able to flash any file in CM recovery.... it says i have a wrong device
- R
the default.prop is wrong....changes are already provided to varun but he didnt merget it till now
- F
(need root)
flash any FOTA recovery with my app ... there are CWM , TWRP and a working CM recovery available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59778797

- S
i cant take screenshot on cm12
- R
the key combo has changed
- F
press powerbutton and vol - at same time (its a bit tricky)
5.
- S
i have echo in calls (many roms)
- R
(the hell nobody knows exactly)
- F
Go into terminal (requires root) and enter:
su
setprop persist.audio.fluence.mode false
setprop persist.audio.handset.mic analog
reboot
that should fix it
....to be continued

@SdtBarbarossa you could also add flashing supersu zip for #2. Your method is easier, of course, but personally i run to some issues with cm's default (ie titanium backup seems to prefer supersu). Not sure if it's just me though.

It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it .

Strange enough. After I put this guide up, there has been less questions in the forum. Guide working ? What do you reckon
After Xperia L
First of all thank you for this useful thread.
My question :
Why is Sony Xperia L lucky for custom ROMs, Kernels etc. I know that Soc (Snapdragon) has major requirement for this kinds of staff. However, I think, Xperia L has also something different and Which Sony Smart Phone are you suggest to buy after sony Xperia L supported like this?

===================
Thanks to "ajsmsg78" there is detailed explanation on how to get this working on our X2. Please go to:

INITIAL POST
==========
It seems the Chinese managed to get the Exposed Framework working on X2 ?
The URL:
http://club.huawei.com/forum.php?mo...=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2005&typeid=2005
Just based on Google Translate to English it seems to indicate detailed instructions how to make it work ?
I don't have a good understanding of Exposed Framework so not sure if those who're familiar can take a look and validate what I saw ? Thanks

I'm gonna install it later and see if it indeed works. I know it well from my Samsung Note series days and my Nexus 6. Edit: confirmed working.

Did you try installing it from that link? If you did, does it work? I get a boodloop when I try installing it from there. The Chinese one works fine as maybe it's a modified version for our X2's.

Yeah it works. Their module they included (the one with the Chinese writing) is called smart network. I'll make a thread.
I have an old phone that uses Android 2.x, I think froyo or gingerbread. I want to download AFWall+ which is a firewall application that's the successor to DroidWall. The problem is the most recent version no longer supports the Android version used by my old phone. The app's details are here (I can't make it a hyperlink because I don't have 10 posts):
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall&hl=en
The relevant part says:
- Supports 4.x ,5.x and 6.x (for 2.x support use 1.3.4.1 version)

But the problem is I don't know how to get the 1.3.4.1 version and verify it is the legitimate version. There are a lot of websites that offer downloads for older versions of apks but they could inject anything they want in them couldn't they?
I would ask the developer in his thread what is the proper way to go about this but as I mentioned I don't meet the post requirements at the moment.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks.
@ukanth can you tell me how to obtain and verify version 1.3.4.1?

I thought f-droid builds still pointing to 1.3.4.1. I will upload in OP of my thread. Thanks !

@ukanth Sorry to bother you again but I can't find version 1.3.4.1 in your thread. Did you ever get a chance to post it somewhere? I can get it from a 3rd party website but I just need you to give me the hashes of the packages so I don't install something that's trojaned. I'm a computer programmer but I don't know much about phones, so please keep that in mind if you have special instructions. Thanks

@agenda21, Can you try this and let me know, this I found in my backup's. If it doesn't work, then I will build one using the old source and update it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3g4lqzbltbuxfq/dev.ukanth.ufirewall-171.apk?dl=0
I raised a request in f-droid to restore the old version https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/362 . Lets see.
Deleted. Beaups released a full unlock using this. No need.

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The S5 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
I will be trying to package this into an app that will extend across multiple vulnerable devices.

I know we'll be able to get a bootloader unlock from this, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done ASAP. I've already moved on to the Nexus 6, but I'd still love to have my S5's bootloader unlocked anyway. Good luck with this, I can't wait.

cant wait to see this going
So how have you gone about compiling and running this? Try as I may I can't seem to do a proper build. It's probably the lowest of the low, but if you could send me a binary, I'd greatly appreciate it
I'd be more than willing to try it on my rooted verizon s5.
Successfully compiled the tool - currently scouring the internet looking for anyone with a developer edition that might be able to help, we should have this done in no time. Have already sent out messages to a few, will look for more. I'll PM you if I get any details
Kinda cool watching this unfold over a few weeks, I'm really excited for what's to come.
You all need to check something else first, you need your current CID
If it starts with anything other than 15, this will not work for you. Samsung EMMC's start with CID 15, Toshiba 11, and there may be more. If you Don't start with 15, this WILL NOT WORK.
Regarding a compiled verison
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=64141875024257149501
Yeah...unfortunately mine starts with an 11 :c
Yep, mine starts with a 15. I'm ready to start any testing. All of my possible developer editions have fallen through - many requesting a purchase of the actual phone. I'll keep looking, but I might be outta options atm.
I can't believe all we need to open this phone up is a dev phone for a few minutes. It would add new life. I'm searching out people as well. Hopefully we find something soon
Mine starts with a 15 and it's not my daily driver, count me in for testing!
Question. Didn't someone post in one of the forums (General or Android Development) about them having a Walmart Straight Talk S5 and that it was actually a VZW Dev Ed? Because he was wanting to put a CM ROM on it. If that's true, then we also need to find anyone with that particular device as well. If i can find the thread it was posted in I'll add the link. Found the links. If it's true we need to see if these variants could help out.

That's actually brilliant. It MIGHT work, but even though they have identical hardware, I don't know if that guarantees that it will have a compatible bootloader - unless it does, in which case that's amazing, and we need to get a hold of someone with one asap. Unless they are the same model, just rebranded, I don't see this working as the bootloaders may not be signed with Verizon's keys.
True. Forgot about the VZW keys... Was thinking too much of finding a Dev Ed....lol

Don't give up hope so fast. I'm getting in contact with a few people, and I'll certainly try it. This may actually be the same phone, I see a lot of websites suggesting Straight Talk phones are the exact same as Verizon ones. We shall see. My information about the keys might not even be accurate, with my limited knowledge.
It was a good thought though, even if it isn't true
How can you compile it? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 and i can't even get NDK to install correctly.. Any help?

Hmm. I dunno. I'm currently on Windows - there wasn't really any installation for NDK, just running from the extracted folder. I can post a link to a compiled version of the program, I'm pretty sure someone in another thread posted one.

Is there a way to check CID from the phone? I can't seem to find out how to check it, build prop and whatnot doesn't have anything about it like some places suggest, and can't use fastboot.

Use eMMC brickbug checker on the play store. First 2 numbers of your cid should be 11 or 15. You want 15
