[CLOSED][testers needed] Kernel development

EDIT : 3 July 2014
Kernel Thread is now Open !
Hi Guys
I've been working on the Xperia C kernel for some weeks now.
( I don't own this device)
-Fixed several build errors by now.
What I need:
- Testers, that own the unlocked boot loader, and have CWM installed.
Reply in this thread, if you wish to test my kernel beta builds, don't PM me please, I already receive a lot of daily PMs.
In an couple weeks ( hope ) the first public build will be sent to testers.
Regards

Thanks for giving us hope

Count me in too !! Im all in for kernel testing

I'd love to be a cellphone guinea pig :good:

@superdragonpt I have some doubts here but before I post them here I just want to clarify that I'm in no way questioning your work...
So here's my doubt
As we know that Xperia C's bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked. So from where does a custom kernel come in? You can't flash a kernel unless and until the bootloader is unlocked. How would people flash your kernel...? I hope you're getting what I'm trying to ask...

From what I gather some xperia C units came with an unlock bootloader, meaning we can flash an boot.IMG.
There's more info about this on this sub forum.
That's why I posted the mandatory requirements of having :
Cwm
Unlocked boot loader

No offence dude, but that is one of the most retarded question I've read yet.
Why do you have a petition-signature regarding unlocking bootloader if you dont know if its unlocked or not :silly:
Very few people take the time to go through the forum and its threads and ACTUALLY read the information. And they go spamming basic questions instead of clicking a few clicks and getting the relevant information themselves.
Regarding your question-----
dial *#*#7378423#*#*
check the service info, then configuraion,
Check the rooting status

Talking about custom ROMs and recoveries for all versions

I know that the Q6 has been in the market for the last 4-5 months which means that there's nothing custom or modified for this phone YET.
I just wanted to know if the devs or anybody that works with LOS or RR (LineageOS and ResurectionRemix) know anything about this device and if they want to create or if they're working on custom ROMs and kernels for this device.
Also, I would like to know how can I join the custom ROM community so that I can help developing on custom ROMs.

Devs not build custom rom yet because there is no unlock bootloader for this phone.

Anyone tried to unlock with ADB / SDK via these commands?

Or can we unlock it ourselves with the "LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL" ? can we ask LG to release an unlock?

Yeah it's a pity Q6 is such a good device

Maybe the device needs some kind of a factory custom ROM with the moddified keys so that it can get into recovery and all that sh*t. If that is possible, of courae

Nope. You have to find out that yourself.

I really don't understand the situation going on here, but I am not a developer. I like pvineeth97's work with the K10 that he did with a little help of his friends, which really helped me out in unlocking the K10. The only problem we need to find is how to make a way to unlock the bootloader so we can do anything. It must be a really small thing that you/we didn't realized

Please do your best guys so that we can unlock the bootloader and have a custom rom soon. We will wait for that to happen, Thanks. Hoping that we can help also.

Doesn't this work? I can't test it because i don't want to unlock the bootloader unless I'm 100% sure there will be some development for this phone, but I saw the "enable OEM unlock" option in developer settings, so it may be worth a try..

Realme 1 will get Android P{Confirmed}

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.
The news was made public by geekyranjit in Twitter.He said that the company has confirmed the p update for realme 1 when he enquired about the same.
Update:Now it has been confirmed by the company directly.
Source:https://twitter.com/realmemobiles/status/1002391788957519872?s=19

Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!
If its gonna Android P , but then also ColorOS would be ColorOS!

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.

Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking

Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

Since some got their bootloaders unlocked with an exploit before August, does this mean people can start development on TWRP and ROMs?

Yes devs have started building TWRP now .You can expect the official twrp in the comming days

Dont we need an unlockable bootloader though? From that article it looks like HMD are just doing what they should be in sharing the code.

There was an exploit (bug) found in Oreo [Edit: Also in Pie Beta, before August] before August security patch, which allowed some people to unlock their bootloaders permanently.
So, now, those people can start developing custom ROMs and custom recoveries like TWRP for our Nokia 7 plus using the source code. :good:

This means that those people with unlocked bootloaders (though there are only a few with those) can now start making or use TWRP and Custom ROMs.
This was not possible without the source code, so this is a thing to be mildly happy about, as still, most of us can't unlock our bootloaders yet.

Pixel Experience Rom

As my fellow developers already must be knowing that Realme has stopped providing future OS updates leaving us on ColorOS 6 platform. They didn't even provide us RealmeOS.
I would be very greatful to you if provide a clean ROM such as Pixel Experience for this device as there are none in the market right now. Please do it as I can't afford another device till I graduate and find a job.

You won't get any ROM development, since realme did provide the source code and bootloader unlock method for creating the rom or rooting it. So don't expect any ROM development unless source code are released.

Query
So how come Realme 3 pro and 5 pro have got Pixel Experience Rom? Realme released the source code of those ROMs?

Yup, they released the source code and bootloader unlock method for the device, so they got the rom. You can ask in customer service for bootloader unlock, but they don't provide any necessary information. I don't hope any rom development for the device until bootloader unlock is available.

I don't think twrp will let you install oppo A5 rom in realme 2 as both Device are different. It would give you error 7 or something. If it you are able to flash also you are going to encounter so many bugs, like camera, device crash, random reboots. If you are still willing to flash the PE, take a backup of stock ROM And go for a try. But be sure not to brick your device.
