LineageOS for BLU Pure XL (MT6795)
Discussion and Q&A Thread
This is a Project Thread for LineageOS for BLU Pure XL. Project files and releases are hosted on SourceForge's servers.
Here you can ask for help and get fresh info about development status.
This project focuses on getting working LineageOS 14.1 for our phone. This would also work for other clones like Allview X2 Soul Xtreme, Condor Allure A100 and Gionee Elife E8.
LineageOS for BLU Pure XL - SourceForge
Here you will be able to review (Git integration) and download files. Also, there I will upload some screenshots. When the project reaches "Alpha" status I will create a development thread for the ROM itself in the Android Development section.
There you are also able to download the latest working TWRP 3.1.0-0 (the same is in this thread).

Yes, it's not booting, I know it. I've just uploaded it for testing purposes. When I get it booting, I will post some info.
Cheers
Any chance we will have a working ROM other than OEM , cause I have the Allview model and the ROM is piece of crap , and I want to sell the phone because I have enough to try to fix all the software crap on this phone (

Hows the fight going? I'd REALLY like to see a custom ROM booting on this phone before it becomes so old it doesn't matter anymore...
Keep us informed on the progress Belmolx, we appreciate your hard work!
Hey I have a Blu Life One X2. I am a developer and have made some really good findings. I also built some tools (autoroot, toolkit, etc..).
We have an unofficial website here: http://www.blox2.com
I made my own rom, and so have a few others. We based it off the stock roms, as we cant get any other rom booting (except CM13; lots of bugs)
If possible, can you assist us? Like:
1. Did you port lineage or compile it? What guides did you follow (links please)?
2. Have you compiled the kernel? Our kernel will not boot no matter what (compiled with a ton of different toolchains too);
3. What device do you use for porting?
4. Do you have a /system RW crash (crash when mounting system as RW)?
Thanks!

hello @bemolx thanks thanks thanks sooooooo much for youur TWRP
I have the Allview X2 Soul Xtreme with LL 5.1 and i want to know if is possible to install thie lineage rom or a custom kernel.
I would like to optimize this phone can you help me?
What do you suggest me?
thaks so much
Looks promising, I'll wait ...
Thanks for the effort
@bemolx has forgotten about this device and has moved on to other devices and in the process has left all of us hanging he pays more attention on other devices just look at his profile @bemolx has made huge promises but has lied to us uploading half ass things which are buggy and literally **** he's forgotten about all of us who were looking towards him but he doesnt care I understand that he's not our slave and doesnt have to do anything but making false promises and playing with the feelings of other people is also not a good thing

I understand your disappointment.
However, it's not that simple as you may think. As a student I have to focus on school subjects and it really takes pretty much my whole free time. Also, this school year I have to defend my diploma thesis and this is my main task to focus on as for now.
You've mentioned my work on other devices too - yeah, I have couple of them to play with. But it doesn't mean I forgot about Pure XL. Other devices are just easier to deal with than this freaking Chinese clone. All of them have been maintained at the same time. Source code is always available on my GitHub profile, wanna try yourself?
If I have been paid (don't mind, just an example) $1000, I would have made a working custom ROM in a week! But I'm not and this is only my intention to do so. As for a freelancer dev it's not that important thing. I promised the custom ROM, you'll see it, in the future, not now.
Anyway, what the hell you've been expecting with MTK-based Chinese clone from the company that doesn't care about their customers and has made one, maybe two OTAs...?
You´re completely right. We thank you for your time and effort put to make this phone be more awesome. BLU is the big liar here. I don´t even use my phone as a Blu Pure XL, instead I use the X2Xtreme rom fully.
Take your time @bemolx and don´t mind what non-developers say in the forums, they´re always asking for ETAs and to make things better just for their daily use and dont know the effort put behind every custom thing made.
I really hope you succeed on your thesis (good) cheers man!

Yeah no I understand what @Superbat1680 is trying to say but at the same time I also understand what @bemolx is going this being a Final year student who also has to defend his thesis I can understand pretty much what he's going through
I'd just like to say that may you be successful in your defense and hopefully we can get a good custom rom in the near future
Good luck mate???

@bemolx
Well for now focus on finishing the university, we'll be rooting for you and maybe in the near future or so after you finish with all, when you have free time and the spirit to start working on a custom rom for this phone we'll see you post an update. I personally would love if you could make a version of android that is the latest like Oreo is now...until then I hope you're having a great day.
Info
Any update on the progress of this rom?????
Hi guys,
I'm working on implementing CLT for Pure XL to get a booting GSI Treble image. I'd say it will be a semi-Treble ROM rather that pure Treble or custom ROM. I hope I will post some update soon.
Who knows, maybe even Pie will boot, who knows..
Cheers
Can't wait to test this rom on my Allview X2 Soul Xtreme and of course give you feedback.
I don't know if it's because of the stock rom or not, but the phone just freezes from time to time(making me force restart the phone), especially when it get hot. Maybe... hopefully this rom will help with that.
Besides, being unable to update from 5.1.1 makes it that some apps are incompatible which sucks.
Thank you bemolx for all the time and effort put into this rom and we all wish you the best.

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.SORRY :crying:
Sorry guys.This project has been abandoned due to not much development skills,family problems,focus on study so there's no time to work on this project.
I hope the rom by PolishVodka will be fixed so you can taste Nougat :fingers-crossed:
I think Aosp Or CM 14 would be good.Thank You. I can be the tester for you ;D
Best option will be CM14.1. In poll it should go rather to AOSP or Customized category?
And of course, I can test things
Latest AOSP 7.1.1 already built alot "customized" inside, Janice will too heavy to load if more customized. Except you will make CM14.1 smaller and add OC inside. Testers are always ready... LOL XD
I don't have this device but I'm willing to help port nougat to this device. I believe that CM14.1 is easier to port because ace 2 has CM14.1 and we can use its patches and misc. stuff. Also, Epirex already started N bringup last time but it's not complete:
https://github.com/Epirex/android_device_samsung_janice/commits/cm-14.0
https://github.com/Epirex/android_device_samsung_u8500-common/commits/cm-14.0
Good Luck
NEWS!
I'm working on it soon and I will be helped by my friend who interested to join this project.
But! This ROM may be coming in 4 or 5 months or possibly 6 months because I have to start focus on my study next month.
If I still not developing Nougat for this device in more than 6 months, it surely have been abandoned.
Someone could develop Nougat for this device soon?
well good luck bruv. i would be happy to test it.. and well studies are important , you take your time .
Thank you for understanding,dude.
Honestly speaking 4 or 5 month or maybe never... is way too LOOOONNNNNGGGGG...... LOL
Suggestion u ask ChronoMonochrome and SergeyL that active developer for Ace2 that build CM14.1 to help u. They are good XDA member that willing too help community. Maybe will at least faster boot up seriously.

Welcome.
I have something who still waiting for nougat taste for SGA.
Warning! This software isn't tested at all! You flashing this only at your own risk. Do not blame me for wasting your time.
Only for advanced user, flashing stock JB firmware may be necessary if you cannot go to Recovery Mode after trying this Rom.
First boot can took around 10-15min so please be patience if you see boot animation.
Of course waiting for any feedback, screenshots if Rom booting.
Happy flashing.
PS. Aroma features, except Janice model changer, doesn't applied yet, so leave everything's as default.

This is exciting news, I can't wait and definitely am willing to test it for you.
Need Help
I have compiled LinageOS 14.1 for this device. However, it will NOT boot. I believe that all we need to do is fix the boot image file. I am having an extremely difficult time porting the boot image file. I was wondering if anyone here can maybe port it for me. I have tried replacing the LinageOS boot.img with the stock boot.img and I get nothing but an infinite boot loop. I have also tried a lot of other things to port the boot.img but I cannot remember everything I have tried. I will provide the links to my LinageOS compile and the boot image files in this post.
Download Link
Remember DO NOT try anything without a working backup of everything first.
Maybe I could take a crack at it today if I have some free time after painting and I hook up the trusty Dell precision. I'm more comfortable with systems that run already but I'm willing to do some research if there's even a chance I could help. Thanks again for what you've compiled so far!
Here to Help
What can I do to help ? I have a device, a backup, and money if worst comes to worst, I am determined to make this work.

Lineage OS
I am very interested in the development, also if this person has working META-INF that will help me out too, so I can help someone release a rom and they can help me, as I said before this is all very new to me.
I'd love some help getting started on making any ROM, even if it's Slim AF to start with (since you already figured out how to do that), then I'd try something else. I have Ubuntu already installed, but need some basic help, like what repo to download and what files to modify. If you can help with that, I'd really appreciate it as we may have more ROMs to choose from .

Nice work. Will this be based off the latest security updates B150 (think stock came with B130 firmware) and root?
Love this as a starting point. Did you free up any of the internal storage that is dedicated to the system? As we know there is only 8GB free of the 16G. Does SLIM ROM change things in this regard? Just curious.
yes
I have managed to free up a little over 2gb of space, I am still looking for other bs that is taking up so much space, i'm thinking its another partition, so give me a while to figure out what i can safely remove to get us more space. I also work 2 jobs lol i dont have a ton of free time but this phone is my daily driver and i am very determined to get something to work for it!

I will release Resurrection Remix soon, I just want to work out some critical bugs before I do. It's pretty stable as of now, I am posting from it. As of now, Wi-Fi, the camera, and the phone's internal loudspeaker don't work, I think Wi-Fi is going to require me to compile a custom kernel but that won't be too difficult. After I get those things to work, I will compile a flashable zip and release.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this ROM and device. I'm sure I can safely speak for all of us about how exciting this is. If at any point you need someone to test a particular version I'm very confident in making a backup of where I am now and diving in to submit feedback for kernel changes or anything else you need more than one phone to try on.

well i started working on ressurection remix as well dont know my eta if he gets his done cool if not then hope mine gets done
Sorry for not posting an update I've been swamped with work and laying tile I still have yet to install BBQ Linux if by the time I'm done laying tile we still don't have a room I will see to it that I make one
i dont guess any of these ROMs ever saw the light of day? lol been a long time since posts it appears, and there aren't many ROMs to find for the h1611 it seems. Nexus XT looks promising, but i cant download it because every link is a 7 hour download that fails a few hours in. satisfied enough i guess with stock rooted, but i want more, might have to keep this phone for a while until i can get a higher end one.
ive got some emui based roms like the nexus one is a emui based one im in the works of making a more vanilla like experience rom to try improve performance etc. and working on building a device tree for the xt its a work in progress for that. but the other rom wont be the swift n fast slim it will be called something else ill post it soon as its almost done
There is still any dev for janice? :silly:
As some of u know, Google is going to release Android Go based on 8.0/8.1 which should work fine on 0,5GB devices, maybe second life for janice?

I understand, don't worry. :good:
I am disposed to take part in the collect, considering how much as now an s advance costs, wouldn't be so hard to get quickly the money and with very little effort for all.
I think that is a good idea and can really give a new life to our device.
Obviously a spare s advance of a willing and generous user would be the best thing we can hope in, but seems really hard to happen, however, my hope isn't died yet
Maybe on weekend i'll look into what changes are needed to run atleast nougat on it (from source), if this'll work then we'll think about Oreo xD

If you're really interested, I'd suggest to look at the Oreo rom of Chrono:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3678722
and to look at the Chrono Kernel (compatible with janice but with some bugs):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tom-kernel-t2793420/post74179403#post74179403
Ace II has the same chip of S Advance (with some code differences) and the dev is very helpful to explain how it works.
Two guys in the same project would be better than one guy on a single project.
As far as I know @sm_adil doesn't reply to any PM and Epirex is busy on his Moto phone.

Yes I agree two or more dev contributing to the same project will be good!!
However if you consider me as fully fledged dev you're wrong I'm more of web developer than android or java. I did build couple of kernel's for testing my skills but than again they were not so stable and I didn't had time to debug it!!
So yeah if get the time I do want to build a ROM for Janice :fingers-crossed:
I've got a Janice right here that I don't use. I'm actually looking right now for a way to root it and install whatever superior than the Gingerbread ROM it currently has, but the point is that it's available for testing purposes. Btw, is it possible to leave a phone number here?

Hi Isaak,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance. I have been looking if anyone developing Android Go support for it. Found your post on the thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/android-t3714953/page2
I want to learn how roms are built and I would like to support in developing Android Go rom for S Advance, if possible. Can you please guide me where I can start?
As per my experience, I have built a modified linux kernel with some modified device drivers and was able to boot it with a debian root filesystem on Freescale SabreLite board. But never built an android rom earlier.
Thanks

You could start from one of these tutorials:
https://nathanpfry.com/category/android/
I'm not good at compiling, I tried it and didn't like it. So I can't help you more than that.
For this reason, with the help of some xda users, I have donated a S Advance to @ChronoMonochrome.
Currently he's actively developing a new kernel and a new rom in this section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/development
I think we could expect more roms with higher android versions, so your feedback is important.
At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

Hi, so sad to read this, but thanks for your great work. Can i ask you why you stop with this awesome phone? What is the main problem?
Sorry to hear those news, J0SH1X. Same question as kimo9hero, what did lead to the decision of yours? (If you allow us asking
@J0SH1X thanks for all your work, but I think we're naive if we consider any recent LG phone "developer friendly" since all their latest models were lacking support even from the company (very late updates).
Guys there is hope that we'll see modding and roms for our g7?
I don't think so, without at least one enthusiastic dev it's not possible. There are no resources so any potential dev have to figure everything out by himself, constantly risking to brick an expensive device. Luckily, the stock 10f rom works real well and the hardware is superb. One just risk living without some typical root utilities.
I would be happy for some dev picking it up, but I don't count on it.

I totally understand that decision. Read following thread where some problems are mentioned.

Now that we have an official bootloader unlock method and the device can be rooted and everything, it shouldn't take long for the devs to get some custom ROMs working for the Nokia 8. The userbase is nowhere small and I think this phone could really use some community support since it's quite unlikely to be getting Pie.
Here's hoping we get community support just like OnePlus devices. Cheers.

I think the fact that the bootloader unlock came so late is why we don't have development. Besides if you really want custom ROMs then why don't you make one? Would help us all

It seems so. NB1 is the unloved phone from HMD. And juho don't want a growing modding and development community.

.
and source kernel of nokia 8 does it only we can compile by tool or we need full source from gg to compile sir ?
I really like my Nokia8 but I am waiting for LineageOS to come, unfortunately I don't have experience with ROMs. Is there any way I can contribute, or is there like an indication when we can expect it to come?

Expect it not to come then you'll be pleasantly surprised if it ever does.
I also think that because bootloader unlock came so late, ROM developers already moved on to other devices and there won't be many ROMs if any.
If we had Treble, at least GSIs could be used, but since we don't and trying to unofficially get it would require skilled developer, I wouldn't get my hopes for custom ROM.
Basically unlockable bootloader gives us only easy rooting and ability to some flash mods via TWRP at this point.
