Porting CyanogenMod 10.1 to Lenovo A820 / A830 (MTK 6589)

Hi,
I recently bought a few Lenovo A830s for my family and my company, and I'm interested in porting CyanogenMod 10.1 to them (and their smaller sister the A820)
I understand that we have access to some of the source code for the Mediatek kernel (github - varunchitre15/MT6589_kernel_source)
and that one of the other major sticking points is no support for dual SIMs in CM.
I was just wondering whether anyone was interested in helping me with this, and whether they had any more insights to give before I started looking into it.
If this project is successful, I think it should also be much more straightforward to port CM to other MTK 6589 devices.
Best wishes,
Tom

Hello I have buyed a a830 these days, and I have look through the git-hub sources , but I havn't find a deconfig file for a830.
Are you sure it's the kernel of a830. Could you tell me which is it's deconfig file???

Sourse for MTK6589/8125
Compile a kernel will not be easy. But already there Sourse for Lenovo S6000 (MTK6589/8125)

MIUI
I started looking into this, but I found it quite tricky.
In the meantime someone ported MIUI V5 to this device, so I have been using that instead.

No, you can destroy your screen.

Try the sony sources http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/code/other/16.0.A.0.36.tar.bz2
Someone confirmed that it complies with warnings.

Sad news... is anybody working on it? I'm very interested in cyangoenmod on A820. There are full sources (as mentioned above), so...?

I'm looking to put CM10.2 on my s6000-F. I am going to make a "bounty" for it over in the CM forms. If anyone is interested please send me a PM. Thank you.

Ok, so this is CM from xda with mediatek kernel (ported - not compiled from source), btw - it's still kernel from 4.1. I'm going to buy nexus and say f**k you to that chinese apes. All of this is really unbelievable. There is nothing we can do.

No. I meant link for CM provided. I can see it's ported and not compiled from sources and it has A820 kernel from original Android 4.1 from A820.

Is it possible to flash custom rom on Mate 8?

Hello, I am wondering If its possible to make custom rom (aosp) working on Mate 8? I read, that its not possible coz of Kirin processor. So how is it? Will be this phone supported with cyanogen for expample?

well, both the kernel and the recovery sources have been made public by huawei, so theres already a good baseline for ya... lets see how the devs will treat the mate 8 in the long run

CM 14

Since the huwaei in not officially supported honor 6. They stuck at marshmallow. plzz someone build CM14 for honor 6. Honor 4x has a low hardware as compared to honor 6 still honor 4x got CM14 support. in last 2 year no one ported custom rom for honor 6.

Without complete source is impossible to build good custom rom.
If you want you can try the Mate 7 MM AOSP, this works on Honor 6

"please build CM14"... why won't you try to do it yourself, if it's so easy? You should read the other topics, Google some stuff, or even use common sense before making such useless topics. Like CX&== says, the most we can get right now is Marshmallow AOSP (not CM). Anything better would require Huawei to make a custom ROM for us, which is never going to happen.
If you actually knew what you were writing about, you would notice that 4X has a Snapdragon processor, which explains why it has custom ROMs support.

I've already posted the Full Source including Kernel Source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/h60-mm-emui4-source-t3447862
and still no one wants to do it.

Maybe because the device is not popular...

better you post requests in q and a section bro..

Hi threre

Oh!

[Q] Low interest in J7 NXT/Core device?

Most of the developments ended in 23rd March, this got me wondering why no one builds such great custom roms or custom stuff that we can use as well. It uses same chipset on J7 series which is should be fairly interested to be with and has only two bottleneck 16 GB NAND flash and 2 GB of RAM. Do any developer willing to (at least) port some roms to our device as well?

Well i'll most likely trying to help developers in my time, in the past i mean. What do you need? We might need a whatsapp group to gather some people together then we can agree with a developer for such stuff. This device should not be underwhelmed.

Only a few people takes interest with J701f and it's really sad. I'm really looking forward for new developments. Like a working auto-root and twrp because the current ones are really buggy.

Sar ive already send u a pm ..thank you sar

Thanks all the devs out there for bringing stuff to J7 Core. Due to low interest and presumably 16/2 GB storage limitation im switching to a 64/4 Redmi 5 Plus. I can advise you all the same..
