Hello.
This thread might seem to stupid but none the less. Anyways, I was thinking that due to lack of developers we don't have cyanogenmod.
The last proper developer we had was varun.chitre15 and he left due to getting a new device, he did not have micromax a110 which might have been a reason that he wasn't able to fully develop cyanogenmod.
If the micromax forum community here would unite and donate to a developer who can develop cyanogenmod for us, we might just have it on our device. The donation would be so the developer could get the phone Micromax A110 and develop cyanogenmod.
We can donate via paypal. Even the smallest of donation could help. So what are your thoughts on this guys?

I think first of all we need to find a developer.
And if you have already found one then let us know..

I am fine with the idea. :thumbup:But who would be that developer? I would be more than happy if varun where to come back.
I feel developers feel pissed with our frequent request for updates.

The first thing the developer to whom you are about to donate the device will ask is 'working kernel sources' and availability of MTK RIL sources. Without them even Steve Kondik won't be able to do anything

You were willing to have a go at it. I'd request you to comeback but since you've made your choice, I'll move on. There was no harm in trying though.

Now you are telling this huh !
When you were developing cm 10.1 you were on the edge of booting it but you discontinue it, and according to your statements every driver can be ported except RIL is that correct.
And you also told that, you can port RIL too if you have a device. So i think Steve Kondik can build cm 10.

You are making a mistake in understanding terms 'booting' and 'working'
Even if I had to continue, I would have to stop at some point where development won't go any further. Making the build booting was never an objective.
Even if some miscellaneous drivers viz Bluetooth, Wifi could be fixed, I cannot imagine a phone which cannot do basic SIM based operations, and hence working on the same was out of my sense. So, the point that none other than Mediatek can build an Android build remains to be valid.

Hello everyone,
I've heard people saying it was not possible to develop ROMs for Lenovo phones due to lack of source code.
Today while visiting the support site I see that Source code for several phones like P700i(MTK6577),S660(MTK 6582m),A7-30 Tablet(MT8382 ) are present at the lenovo website.
LINK:http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en
Just enter the name of your phone model in the search bar to check if source code is available.
Hope to see some ROMs coming soon.:good:
thnx mate
hey thnx buddy....you saved d day...
Downloading now and will check source files.
Okay I hope this would help in ROM development

Sorry, but I can't really answer your question since I'm not a developer. I'm only enthusiastic about android and right now am learning how to build from source so don't get your hopes up.
Looks like they have the sources for my A369i too.
probably I'm going to buy a lenovo s660, hoping to have good news from ROM developers
any news?
pls help
hello
iam also using lenovo p700i .i have download open source code but i dont no how to use it pls help
what with this open source code? and what is use for? im just curius. im already downloading the source for my lenovo a369i but dunno what to do with this.

you have to compiled that in linux, if u want to make a custom kernel/recovery/ROM then merge or patch it with custom source code. u can find the tutorial here in xda
download link been removed !
Provide a downloading link. Pls
i had started this thread for discussion to move forward on the development as this is my first time at rom compiling
i request all the members to not to ask eta/progress report etc ill update the thread at regular stages
i had made a first breakthrough and now getting to cm bootanimation now need help from experienced developers to help me procede . i am unable to get logcat/dmesg cause adb is not detecting

I will. You can ask chrmhoffmann or kashifmin from the mt6589 group. They have also source builded cm11 successfully.

Sorry mate. I'm sure devs are working on it. But the link you provided is solely for kernel only. There are many device specific codes required to start off with the custom firmware. Guess we'll have to wait at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Can you please educate me on the device specific codes that are required for a custom rom?

Well to say the truth, I do not know how to put it in words. You see it's the codes that are published by vendors for the device, and some by developer themselves. It contains some proprietary codes mostly in "*.mk" files, some "*.c" files and so on. Device codes can be cloned from similar devices like for our device, we could clone Nexus 5X's source codes for CyanogenMod or for similar ROMs. But still vendor codes for the device is mandatory to get a working device with fewer flaws. And device codes, maybe devs are working on it. We need to be patient until someone comes up...

Here is CM 13 unofficial
I am trying to build cyanogenmod from source for samsung galaxy core duos
I have read xda university gide of building android from source
Can anyone provide me with a device tree for gt-i8262 for cm 13 or 14 or atleast a guide of how to build a device tree?
Plzz also provide a link of anything else i may require
I have a little knowledge of python, java, c, c++
CM13 Device Tree for Core
https://github.com/I8552-CM/android_device_arubaslim
It's of I8262.

Actually both the devices have same architecture and there is cm13 branch in the above github repo.
This repo is actually modified for core.
All the best
Good luck.
Do i need to build a recovery or can i use the recoveries already available for my device?
I also found kernel for gt-i8262

What do i need to do now??

better you understand first step by step to prepare and setup build environment, u can find many guide how to build android from source, u can read some reference from here
Do i need to add kernel source in manifest file??
Try to build CM13 if u succeed then try and build CM14 it will be much easier and yeah CM14 will be much better but it will be harder for now to fix bugs. But i am not sure about that. Good luck.

Well, dunno if you're still interested in the task, anyway - aside from what others already suggested - I can point you on:
Source codes for I8260/I8262 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762777

Last but not least, keeping in touch with Huawei Ascend G510/Y300 (which are pretty similar to Cores i826*: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5419&idPhone2=5250&idPhone3=5386) guyz @ MODACO: http://www.modaco.com/forums/forum/743-huawei-ascend-g510-development/
