In theory this should be quite useful, no?
Just putting this up here for those who may have lost hope, but on a whim I checked their source repository today and it would seem they've at least uploaded Kernel source!
ftp://Kernel_End_User:[email protected]/
Directory: Pure XL P0010UU (it's a bit of a mess, you may wish to CNTRL+F this)
I haven't checked their software repo yet for ROM source, but it was not uploaded when I initially found this information about a month and a half ago.
The kernel is only VANILLA STOCK source, I haven't compiled it or anything, I'm only linking their servers because I imagine that this isn't getting checked on a regular basis (not much to expect would happen). But, something has happened, so I figured I'd draw some attention to it.
Many thanks to those ROM and kernel devs who have been working to bring us some solid software. It's honestly my only major gripe with the phone.
We (me, acheron, root-expert) tried to compile this several times with CyanogenMod repos with no luck. It's from 7th December 2015 so nothing changed.

Darn. If only they were more willing to facilitate development.... the software is my only real issue with the phone. Thanks for your work, however.
Same thing here... I would love to have the latest CyanogenMod
Only for updating this post:
Kernel source, mostly ready for Marshmallow ROMs, you can find here on 'cm-13.0' branch.
Linux upstream 3.10.103
Still trying to boot it up.
Gonna update CyanogenMod thread soon.
Cheers

Out of curiosity, how have other manufacturers "facilitated" this sort of development for their products?

Some lend active support to the venture, LG has a dedicated team for liason, better documentation, etc.
I think it's probably pretty telling that it's only now the BLU source has worked - and it took them 5 months to even release it.
BLU releases kernel source codes upon request instead of proactively providing them. If they're asked for on launch, then the kernel source is released shortly after. So I don't believe the claim that it took 5 months to release.
Can you show me proof of other manufacturers lending support to show BLU?
NVMD.
TheLastCanadian said:
Your belief is irrelevant. They have had many requests, and always it is a referral to the FTP site they host. This site did not populate with the kernel/rom source for quite a few months after I bought the phone, and I was already behind the curve by about 2. I purchased mine on the 30th of December, 2015. I made this post the day after I noticed they had Kernel/Rom. If the URL was still working, I could verify for you the time limit. With that said, it was approximately 5 months.
As for other manufacturers lending support.... ZTE for instance is collaborating with Cyanogenmod, LG proactively provides source and has actually tried to make the process quite simple for most of their phones, and ultimately, contacting BLU about the matter is functionally worthless, as BLU is a reseller and at the whim of Gionee. BLU can't help because they don't do R&D or software as I can tell for the phone.
I'm particularly pissed about the fact I asked before I bought the phone if source was available and it was GPL compliant and I was told yes. 5 months is just a little outside of Amazon's return policy. The Pure XL is a good phone, but the software is quite lacklustre. CM would really be the bees' knees.

Well I'm obviously not going to bother contacting my connections at BLU with that attitude. Good luck guys!

I should correct myself slightly. Supposing my e-mail record is correct, they released it 4 months after the phone. I say your belief isn't relevant because a fact is a fact.... as of April 5th, I was still getting apologies from them about Kernel source not being available, specifically, "No ETA on source at this time". Ergo, it could have been longer.
As for BLU, I'm just being honest. They don't develop, they're a reseller.

Just a small update;
Linux kernel upstream: 3.10.104
Regenerated defconfig as well, the same branch.
I'll try it with full build today.
Anyone interested in the idea of a lineageOS rom for S8/S8+. Or any developers that could start development.
You can bet on developers starting development when sources are available, there's a lot of interest to develop for this phone, because the S8 is the best selling high range phone in the world right now. The problem is the lack of sources to develop from, it took a long time for the S7 to get any sort of Cyanogenmod / LineageOS support, and only now it's stable enough for daily use.
Snapdragon, Yes. Exynos, maybe not.

Portal:
Currently supports Android 5.x and above models.
Information Assistant:
Currently supports Android 5.x and above models, Android 4.4 version of the model support does not include "My expenses", "My Favorites" two cards other information assistant function.

I guess its time to flush this mobile in toilet.
It was a nice sad story with Xiaomi and i wish this company will learn about valuable customers.
I still have faith in Xiaomi if they changed themselves.
Picture taken with OP5
That was expected.But still noone gives a valid explanation why same hardwarre, different screen size phone will get android 7 and not RN4 prime.The whole situation is a joke.

One possible explanation is that probably markw isn't actually a xiaomi's in-house product and they dumping it because ODM is failing to/not interested in/refusing to provide xiaomi with updated kernel/blobs. "It's too complex" explanation is too childish to be heard from technology corporation.

Not only childish but insulting too.You can't dump a phone you sell as prime/pro and people paid signifficant more money not only for better hardware but better support too.After mi2s and R4P i think i'm done with xiaomi.On top of that, it seems the new Redmi's have smaller batteries so i can't find a good reason to trust xiaomi for my next phone.

Are they going to replace our markws with this at no price and will take legal obligations to provide base system updates for at least two major versions? No? Then thanks, but no, thanks. Personally, I'll keep using mine till noticeable battery degradation. Then I'll switch to other vendor.

Yeah 636, the new holy grail for two more years i guess.So basically 10-15% performance bump, unknown support policy, significant smaller battery and no medium size screen.Oh right...maybe they'll make a prime version with sd 660, after 6-8 months of the first R5 release, wich will come with android 7 and stay with 7 just a few months before the R6 release.Nope...

Xiaomi constantly ignores requests on their own forum, what makes you think this petition would be noticed? I would rather suggest mass recruitment requests for beta-testing Oreo (who needs Nougat, anyway?) in a (very little) hope these requests are processed by officials (unlike forum requests that are moderated by usual users, mods there aren't xiaomi employees, afaik) and there will be some kind of output.

Apply to get a Free OnePlus 6 for your Development Projects
OnePlus has a long history of always supporting the development community when it comes to their devices. They have been consistent with offering phones that can easily be unlocked and flashed with different ROMs and recoveries. They're one of the few companies that allow you to unlock the bootloader of your phone without any requirement of an unlock key. They are also quick to release their kernel sources to encourage development.
Now OnePlus is taking another big step in showing their support of the development community. They are sending out 36 free OnePlus 6 units to different developers so that they can get to work on creating great ROMs, Kernels, and other modifications to the device.
Leave a comment in this thread telling us why you think you deserve a free OnePlus 6 and what kind of development projects you would bring to the community. There are three untis still up for grabs.
Update: All units have been claimed. Thanks for participating!
Hi suggest my name ..I am working on aoscp for one plus 6/3/3t
Low Latency Kernel coz why not
I was working on orion os on the Moto g and later on oneplus x. I also have several threads here in OpX section. So I think it would be great if I could get the device for testing and building purposes.
I think I should have one because I used to develop themes, modifications and many more for Sony Xperia devices. I have been active on XDA for over 5 years and I would like to make more contribution to the community. Thanks !
Bcoz I am ROM tester for many devices.
+ I already own OnePlus 6 as daily driver so other device can be used exclusively for ROM testing
I'm the developer of Discovery ROM. I'm a developer and a computer science student. I want to test on it my projects (actual and future), I have a lot of things ready to be developed (some apps and a lot of very interesting exclusive features for my ROM). With the OnePlus 6 all these things would be easier to develop and test.
I'm 1 of 2 lead devs for https://github.com/AquariOS and would love to make AquariOS for op6
Hi. I'm one of the two developers of Havoc-OS and I also have a variant of the Modded Google Camera. I am also a bit of a themer and have made a subs overlay for Transparent In-Call UI for Google Dialer. These are my current projects. In the past I have been a part of Zenity-N, Z-Unleashed, Unleash-OS and OxygenOS System Mods. I would really like to get a OnePlus 6. I've been a huge fan of OnePlus since OnePlus One days. I know I'm not too qualified developer but I learn as I go and I've come a long way since I started. I really like this phone and if I win, it will give me an opportunity to work on Havoc-OS for OnePlus 6.
Hi, my name is Sergio. I'm an Italian engineering student, I want to work on the appearance of the Rom and test new ROMS and fix them if needed. I'm a tester for any One Plus roms and kernels. Give me a chance to work with you! It's a dream. I actually use OP3
Hi, I'm Sai, a developer interning for the Substratum team and would really appreciate an additional device for testing and debugging several of our projects on the device, as OOS has some of its own quirks that may need some additional testing. Additionally I am also a Substratum themer, meaning that I could add support for OOS 5.1.5+ on my theme.
Theme's GitHub page:
https://github.com/InFlames03/Oreo-Theme
I am 1 of 2 Founder/Developer of PureFusionOS, Currently Deving on LG G6 H872 and Past HTC10, Would consider porting our ROM and deving on the OP6 if giving the opportunity..
I'm active member in development of both my present Honor 7x and Past K3 Note devices.
My previous works include a 3.1.1 twrp recovery for K3 Note , Flashable Face Unlock Zips for Android 5.1+, AOSP based themes for Honor 7x.I can sure do much more if I get a device like OnePlus 6 .
As the OnePlus 6 supports Project Treble I will try to build a Stable TWRP with vendor partition and Ressurection Remix Rom if possible .
Build rom and kernel for yureka and zuk devices .
Now i want to work for OnePlus 6 device (ROMS & KERNEL).

Hello,
I work on the Dirty Unicorns project which currently is not shared on XDA, but we are still a popular project. Alternatively, I also work on the unicornblood kernel for the devices I support (many of which, to include the OP5).
Please keep me in consideration.
I would love to have the chance to get a OnePlus 6!
I develop official AICP for the OnePlus 3 so have good knowledge regarding the OnePlus community and OnePlus devices in general. AICP is a highly customisable ROM which is very popular in a lot of communities, and I can't see why the OnePlus 6 community would be any different
I am part of the Exynos 5420 team, where we bring official LineageOS and AICP to older devices, such as Galaxy Tab S devices and Galaxy Note Tablet devices.
I'm an official LineageOS member working on my exynos device and would like to bring AICP to the OnePlus 6 and use it to further my knowledge of developing custom ROMs for devices
Thanks!
Make it 35 and give one to a tester. I'll be glad to test and report bugs to those 35 developers
I have been working on mediatek devices for one year and definitely want to hands on snapedragon 845.I have limited resources but can be your beta tester , guaranteed.
* Please give chance to junior members*
My contribution to mediatek 6592
Aicp
Benstalk
Xosp
Aokp
Bliss
Crdroid
Mokee and many more
. First few members in mediatek family to crossport CyanogenMod 13 from mtk 6582 (bugfree).
If i would be given op6 then i would surely increase my coding skills.
@HolyAngel
Because his kernel and custom OMNI rom is on another level. Battery friendly and smoothest experience. Period. If you don't believe me, ask all 200 members in his Telegram chat. Most guys there said they'll be getting device which HolyAngel gets next.
Testing is in my blood
Well, I’m not really a developer but I am the kind of person who has all the time in the world. I dont do much since I’m a student so I can dedicate my time in testing rom, kernels and whatever xda can throw at me.
I’d like to work with the various great devs to test their contributions and make them suitable for public release.
I’m coming from the Xioami Mi5 community and I’ve been very active there. However, sadly my phone broke into pieces recently. So I could use a huge upgrade as the OnePlus 6. Considering the goodness of the phone, I’d be more keen to use the time I idle away in testing xda goodies and make OnePlus 6 community a great place.
P.S Yes I know how to take logs and all the rest.
Hello fellow TA-1004/TA-1012 users.
Nokia 8 has been a bittersweet experience for most of us. The insane price drop killing it's resale value. Stock but buggy and sub par software. It's a flagship that has ticked as many wrong boxes as it did right.
But the software experience leaves a lot to be desired.
http://chng.it/5X8ncWT6XB
Let's go ahead and sign this petition in numbers to get LineageOS official support for this device.
Please spread the word.
Eh? The issue is not at LineageOS, they would support it if there only was something to work with.
The issue is HMD Global unwilling to provide sufficient sources or provide any help for the community around their devices.
LineageOS can't just throw developers into puzzling proprietary blobs. They will just be shooting in the dark and will have a real hard time maintaining anything. You need a proper source code or clear device specifications to make anything usable..
Modding and puzzling around vendors firmware is totally another thing than actually maintain code.
Signed!
