With you both. Also retweeted. Lets Hope for the best.
I didn´t even know HTC never released kernel source for U Ultra etc. I thought they had a good record releasing source code (well, sometimes a bit late but...)
One of my intentions when buying U11 was to create a kernel for the ocean after I took the trip to the Pixel XL and created my first kernel there.

Yes, hopefully next week
I just noticed they added kernel source of u play.
Also a search category for android 7.1 appeared which is still empty. Previously highest was 7.0.
Fingers crossed it's for the 11.
At least TWRP is fully working without it on this device. So I need it less than you kernel/AOSP devs this time around .
I emailed htcdev and asked about all U series kernel source. They said it had been passed on. May just be coincidence though

Heh they snuck that out in the few hours of sleep I had last night! Funny they released Vodafone UK source when they don't seem to be stocking the phone! I've been playing with building using the stock kernel. The biggest problem I'm having is actually restoring my stock backup afterwards. /Data either won't restore or when I do fully wipe it and get it to restore it won't accept my unlock code/pattern/fingerprint anymore.
Setting the phone up from scratch every time you test is a pita!

Is it relevant that there still no US unlocked & sprint variations kernel source?

I expect they will come, but it looks like it's fully interchangeable currently, at least I've been running the europe unlocked boot.img on my EE UK single sim device without issue. I've just built it and it's running also.

Ouch, that sounds bad. I'm not sure when I'll start hacking, my vacation is very close and by then I guess most features might be already done and ported for sense kernels.. tho the new soc may add some pain to the equation of simple patching

Searching through the EB13 source in /arch/arm/boot/ I came across three files of interest, victory_test_kernel.tar, recovery.bin and zImage, I ran over hear excited since I thought Sammy was throwing us a bone to get some custom kernels running early, but nevertheless in true Samsung fashion the files of interest come from October 1st of all dates, and seem to be before DK28. That's Sammy for you. You'll have to wait until Monday to get anything truly EB13.

This got me thinking, maybe Samsung is just had this source for a while now and this is the outcome of all their edits they've made through the leaked stages, this being the final product, anyways, here is a totally cleaned version of the EB13 source that takes half the time to download and is ready to be compiled with a few edits to victory_03_defconfig and build_kernel.sh.
Code:
Edited victory_03_defconfig to add initramfs source and cleaned
various aspects of unneeded files let behind by Samsung.
If your a dev coming from the DI18 source you might find it interesting to know that the default config is no longer ares_003_defconfig, but is victory_03_defconfig.

The source has been out for a while now...I'm thinking a few weeks, at least.
Has anyone checked to see whether this KK4 is the same as what was leaked two months ago - there's always the possibility of slipstreamed changes without reversioning, especially since there are definite bugs that remain in the leaked version, e.g., the kernel crashes when too many apps are are installed to SD.
At a minimum, given that the linked instructions describe this as a full wipe, the ROM is packaged differently than the previous leaks.
LOL. couldn't have come at a better time! /sarcasm
Anyone got an alternate mirror in the event the Kies Mini upgrade fails for me, as it did previously when I tried to upgrade to Froyo? It would be a nice backup in the event I need to go back to stock (assuming, although I probably shouldn't, that in the two months since KK4 leaked, something had to get updated.

Just a warning This is all over, so I'm sure they all know about it. Hopefully it'll bring some stability to our Captivate ROMs (they won't have to be based on I9000 now, although I have no idea what else the I9000 functionality brings). I am not a developer, just an educated user.

This is the same Rom/Kernel developers have been working on for the last month, so yes there is a lot of custom kernel, but none with BLN or voodoo color due to lack of source for it.

Ok, seriously, this got sooooo childish over time. I really think nikez & the while team are doing an amazing job, fo' sure.
+ They are open source which is amazing.
So, why would anyone really rewrite the whole thing? Just to grow some imaginary balls? What would you do?
The only question is:
If they (Avatar & everyone who uses their sources) improve the existing stuff, do they also release the sources for everyone?
Have a nice day and please rethink your opinion about this and open source in general.
Sure they haven't mentioned Evervolv yet, but I hope they will edit OP soon and match the rules.
By the way, 99% of those you accuse of "kanging" don't even kang, so get your facts right.
Kanging implies that they use Evervolv code (in this case) and don't admit it.
(I don't even mention that they (EV) would be lost without CAF, Google, CM sources etc.)

Not carrying on the rant over here lol but Come on guy's the whole Rom is not evervolv's just because they ported the Rom DONT make every single app or code in the rom theirs. Yes they may have coded SOME things but NOT everything. So what if the OP used most of the current avatar rom he HAS THE RIGHT to because android is OPEN SOURCE. I am fed up with members on xda all they care about is THIS IS MINE NA NA NA NA NA get a grip of yourselve's are you really going to act like a child for a few codes and a few apps ???? My 2 year old daughter would laugh at you for acting more like a child than she is. Come on guy's developers should SHARE not argue and point the fingers at eachother. And if people didnt KANG or whatever the hell you want to call it then where would most of the rom's on xda be ????? Every developer os sense Rom's KANGED HTC do you see them coming on here chucking their dummy's out the pram ???? because i dont see them doing that. I think it is sad it has to come down to developers arguing like children over some damn files when they should be sticking together like a comunity should. This is why most good hearted developers LEAVE xda because the developers are selfish and act like children. That's all i have to say on the matter. Now i tend to my CHILD. Take care xxxx

I don't understand why everyone starts to accuse people of basing their rom on others' source. Isn't that the whole poing of open source and sourse sharing?
This way, google should accuse and sue every single developer for using the Android source.
So lets just enjoy this ROM, and appreciate that there are still people who work for this device.
Okay I tested this rom and I have to say it's fast but 2 bugs : There is no signal ( probably simcard not detected but not sure) , graphical glitches ( everywhere, not only in YouTube app, the screen kinda tears and acts weird, everyone should know what I mean) . I tested it for a while and that's the bugs I found. It's fast ROM but the glitches and other bugs make me to not use this ROM for now.

Hi. As you propably know, there is no TWRP 2.7 for saga. This is why:
Saga would need a number of updates in order to make it work with 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. 4.4 ROM support really doesn't depend on the recovery itself. The kernel and other parts of the ramdisk have to support SELinux contexts in order for the set_metadata functions to work. I don't have a saga myself and at this point I have no plans to continue to support the device. I've been building saga in a CM7 / gingerbread tree which doesn't support the things needed for SELinux. The device would need to be compiled with an updated kernel in at least a 4.1 and preferably a 4.3 or 4.4 tree to support installing Kit Kat ROMs.
I plan to drop official support for any device that I've been building in ICS or Gingerbread trees which includes saga. If people want to see continued support for those devices, then hopefully developers for those devices will step up and build TWRP themselves and maybe offer their updated device files to us so that we can extend official support.

So basically we need developers who would like to help with that. I'm not that techy to understand what the problem is but I would like you to tell me and help.

I flashed it, I backed up my rom, I wiped, I flashed my rom clean, it booted, I went to recovery and I restored my rom. Everything went perfect, no problems whatsoever! Now there are 2 questions left to ask.
1. May I update TWRP for saga developement thread and attach this build?
2. Would you be willing to offer updated device files to TWRP team? From my observation most people download TWRP drom official website and it would be great if 2.7 would make an appearance there.
Anyway great work devil-kin :highfive: Personally I see TWRP as the best recovery and I'm on it from 2.2. Seeing it still working in its latest iteration on my beloved DS makes little tears appear in the corners of my eyes. I absolutely love this phone for it's size, specs, build quality and weird survability (many screen to sidewalk encounters and no broken glass Only praiseworthy scars). LONG LIVE DS! <3

Ahoi,
the guys from f(x)tec said they would send out some devices to developers of custom roms including lineage to help development of the rom. Did this already happen? Do lineage devs have the phone and did they start porting? Just curious if that happens at all. I'm hoping to put lineage on mine asap.
There are few developers who are making Lineage OS and Sailfish OS for Pro1. Chen showed some alpha build on Twitter previously. Also, devs has the source code since last month.

What I can confirm is that there are 2 senior developers has been working on Lineage OS since a while ago. And they've made some great progress. (All the credit goes to them)
They are awaiting for the official release and can move the porting project into the next stage I believe.
That's as far as I know, and again, it's a great work of Lineage community.
PS: When I tried to flash SFOS initial release onto Pro1 I need to flash a custom TWRP, which is I believe also from Lineage OS devs.

Does backup work now? I'd heard the earliest port worked for flash but not backup.
Any chance you can share? I expect my phone any day now...

Backups require decryption support, but since it's a stock msm8998 platform you can expect that rather quickly. Sharing is what I'll leave to the original creators, we're informed about the shipment progress.

Don't suppose you have a link that could explain this to people who have no idea what you mean?
I think this has something to do with the fact that even as root in Android if you modify stuff in /system it doesn't stick after reboot. But I'm really only guessing and haven't bothered to read up on it yet.

System-as-root means that /system is mounted as /, but it also means that recovery is a part of boot image, so flashing it as the whole boot partition won't let you boot the system. There'll be a need for TWRP installer script.

Thanks for posting this. I've been unable to find any impressions as to the stability of these ROMs. Yes, they are testing roms, but IME there are testing roms and then there are testing roms.
Are these the former (unsupported but mostly stable) or the latter (you don't want any of your real data on it, will crash at random times and missing core functionality)?

It's been stable for some time now. I'll be posting a thread here in the next day or two and making lineage official in the next week or two.

Great to hear it TDM.
Cannot give you enough kudos after lurking in the lineageOS test forum thread and seeing all the work you have been doing.
I may even give AOKP a try once you've had a chance to look at it. Lineage is great but it's been years since the Halcyon days of having _multiple_ viable on-stock Androids!
