LG releases Open Source Code for LGE970 - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hello everyone,
I was browsing the web and the forum threads but didn't found a thread sharing the specific Source Code for the LGE970 A.K.A. AT&T LG Optimus G so here you have it:
http://goo.gl/3V2IR
I'm more of a cooker than a ROM Developer (I take parts from here and there and make a mix), but I hope other developers join in and help with existing roms (there's only one right now) or make new flavors.
I hope LG don't forget about us and release the Source of the 4.1 and 4.2 soon.
Hope it helps. I'll keep you posted.

Glad to hear!! Hopefully development starts growing now. Let's hope LG does JB as well but for now this is a good start.

This is about on par with what samsung releases for "source". It includes the kernel (which is helpful yes) but really not much else.
Also, this has been available and known to most devs for a while.

So there is the kernel from this source and the Nexus gives us the relevant drivers correct? We can yank the modem from the stock ROM so what is left?
I am trying to start learning more about how the OS is structured and how to compile ROMs etc. This is not an attempt to question others if that is how it comes across but rather curiosity.
Loving this phone and can't wait for expanded notifications, project butter and roadrunner, etc!

{Information}CyanogenMod for the Play

A few of Sony Ericsson's newest devices are queued up to get CyanogenMod Custom ROM. Thanks to recent code submitted by Diogo Ferreira, the bits needed to bring my favorite custom ROM to three smartphones in the Xperia family:
- Xperia Play: r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7126
- Xperia Neo: r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7128
- Xperia Arc: r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7127
Currently the code to add these phones to the CyanogenMod family is awaiting approval to be merged into the CyanogenMod repository. Once that's done we can expect nightly builds to follow not long after.
From that point it's just a matter of time before Release Candidates and a Final Build is available.

Woohoo! I am getting a bit sick of my SE ROM, I want a Cyanogen!
very nice, i wasn't expecting official nightlies for our play's
Great!!!!!!!!!
Official CM7 on my Xperia Play is Very very Great
Come on!!!!!!!!
I'd like to hear word from the FreeXperia team. Are they maintaining CM7 officially?
At any rate, I already ROM Manager ready for action ^^
This is only for plays that are bootloader unlockable right? Any progress on unlocking the bootloader on simlocked phones?

We're making progress on CDMA phones.
The problem is that simlocked phones don't have RCK_H key so there's nothing to crack the unlock key from. But as said, I'll check it, I have some people willing to test.
Looks as though it has now been merged. Really looking forward 2 flashing nightlies. Cyanogen best mod by a looooooonnnnggggg stretch.
And just in time so that Verizon users can join the party
Hi, I am Diogo Ferreira (submitter of these patches)
I think you'd be happy to know that they are now already merged and in a buildable state with nightlies following soon.
This is not an alternative to FreeXperia work, it is FreeXperia work. We've been all working together to make this happen.
I'd be happy to answer questions you might have.

Hi Diogo. Glad to hear from you. Does this mean Xperias will be listed on CM homepage under supported devices, and will get official forum's section?
Given that most of the features worked already in the betas (great job by the FX folks), the main question for the Play resides on the camera. What's the status on that?
And for those people who have ROM Manager Premium, will the nightlies come through it as well?
No ETAS on camera. It will be done when it's done but we're looking into it.
As for nightlies, they should be available soon.
deovferreira, is the team making an official kernel as well to compliment the nightly builds? If we are using ROM Manager, then CWM Recovery is essential, and it would be great to have a kernel that had this built in, like the FreeXperia's team does now.
Also, will the ROM be generic for all users? I had quite a few issues with the radio yesterday on my CDMA Play when I tried FreeXperia's latest build. I just wanted to make sure that builds would support all versions of the play, not just the R800i.

What is on CM today is on par with what we did for FreeXperia, the kernel has a builtin recovery. You'll see instructions on this soon when nightlies start to hit.
As for CDMA, I am not aware what the differences are. I support a CDMA device (desire-cdma) but it is a PITA since I have no real way to test. What would be good is if someone steps up and tried to maintain a play-cdma port, I imagine the differences would be fairly minimal.

Awesome. The only reason I asked is because of how its different from other devices. The kernel always has to be flashed with fastboot. So I just didn't know how the updates would work or anything like that. I assume we just flash one to start the process and go downhill from there.

I agree completely. It appears that the kernel was working fine, there is just something in the CM build that was preventing the radio from working correctly. Logcat was telling me that it detected a CDMA mode and enabled it but then the phone module would crash. It was late when I started looking into it though and didn't do a lot of research, but I imagine that someone has encountered this with a CDMA port from a GSM cousin before. I'll do some more investigation this evening.
The boot will always have to be flashed separately using fastboot due to the way the sony ericsson bootloaders transforms the boot image on flashing. System updates will be done using the recovery, as usual. At some point the kernel and system may get out of sync, the symptom would be wifi failing to enable, at which point people would have to flash a new kernel.
As for CDMA, the RIL libraries should be different as should some settings in build.prop.
Awesome. I'll see what I can do this evening, and maybe even pump out a working build from the source for CDMA users.
Guys, stay calm.
this is FreeXperia CM7 "just" as official CM
So that is what you all wanted.
We worked over some time now with Diogo, all of us 3 ( Diogo, jerpela and me) have commited our changes, put them together and worked together.
All will be good See it as a surprise
I'm working for over 1 month now everyday on camera support. For now nothing new, but new knowledge
currently i'm looking into camera for new 4.x Firmware release, maybe SE changed something in a good way for us...

Request for help with kernel for the P505/P506

First of all sorry if this is the wrong place for this and also sorry this is not exactly a post for the P500. I am here asking for help with developing a kernel that will work for the P505 (Pheonix) and the P506 (Thrive) which are nearly clones of the P500. A group of us over and androidcentral.com have been trying to come up with a working kernel that we can use to patch over top of the P500 ROM's due to some screwiness with the video when the ROMs are loaded and ran directly. We had a .32 kernel developed for us but the developer and the community had a falling out when he was asked for his source code and refused to give it. So I am trying to undertake compiling a kernel for our group but due to the lack of good documentation and the hit or miss nature of the search results I get back I'm still left somewhat in the dark. I have tried talking with people on IRC to get a better idea of what is needed but I always get conflicting answers. We have the stock source code for our kernel/ROM (2.3.4) but we are lacking in good documentation and expertise on how to go about modifying this source code to work with the P500 Cyanogen or MIUI builds. As the P500 roms were orginally ported from another phone (if my understanding is correct) I am assuming that someone in here would have the knowledge needed to help us get over this hurdle. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this isn't too far off topic as to upset the Moderator.

[Q] Is this the source we need for CM?

Hey guys,
So, I'm not a dev, but I'm dying for a port of CM9 for the P769. In the Original Android Development forum, there appears to be someone working on CM10, which is great and all, but we actually stand a chance of getting all the hardware working under CM9.
Just out of curiosity, I meandered over to LG's open source website and -- lo and behold -- quite clearly I see the source available for not just the P769BK, but other variants as well. I downloaded it, and it even includes instructions for building.
So... is this not the source we need for a CM port? Please, strike down my ignorance and let me know what's up.
https://wws.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=MODEL&search=P769
That is what we need and the dev has it. We have a good chance of CM10 working because the source is available. So there is no big push for CM9.

Excellent! I was under the impression that devs needed 4.1 sources from the manufacturer to build fully functional CM10 images. The more you know!

I'm not the most knowledgable about rom development and such, but it seems that if at least Android 4.0 source is available for a certain device, then it may be easier for devs to bring JB to that device and/or build a fully working JB rom for it.
Was doing some poking around myself today and noticed that LGP769BK(Optimus L9)_Android_JB_P769v20d.zip
was up on the LG open source page. Was able to DL it and upload to dev-host if they pull it down later but its listed there for now.
Don't know if I'm late to the game or not but I didn't find anything during my real brief search that it had been noticed yet

I need devices to develop for!

Hey guys! After a long time of taking a break from the Android world and focusing more on school I am finally coming back and coming back strong! But before I can start my big plans I need a device or two to develop for. I own a Galaxy Note 3 but I really do not like developing for it since we do not have an Unlocked Bootloader yet.
I am a Samsung Fanboy so I know TouchWiz inside and out! I also have plenty of experience with the stock Android OS. I currently do NOT make source builds but if you have the source code then I will be glad to!
All of my builds will be built on my Dedicated Server and uploaded on a fast 1GBPS port! I will develop for pretty much any device as long as it either has source code or is compatible with the Kitchen.
I can theme, build ROMs, and very little Kernel work. Let me know what devices you want me to dev for and what you would like to see in a ROM. I can start working very soon!
Thanks for your time!

Can you give me your knowledge
I know Android only at moderate level but need help with some porting tips (preferably mtk device,i've seen yuweng's thread)
I want to gain more knowledge about Android and i've never built anything from source
Any help regarding the functioning of android is really appreciated

Hello!
I have ZTE V985 (Grand Era), and he has only 4.0.4
It is sad, bacause we have kernel source and HTC One X (they are similar) already have CM11
So, I want you to port 4.4 to the ZTE V985
Here is the kernel source https://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=BWwRVJxvd/ByYk9Ec3R6qwIuNE8rSJ2sB4LjsUucVi8%3D

@Droid Premium what about the Note 10.1 2014, WIFI only model, P600? Don't know if youv'e made any roms for tablets but it would be good to have another rom for it because it's been a bit quiet so far

Looking for an Alpha Lollipop build for the G2? Look no further!

"The G2 Dream Team" (and they well deserve that name) has released not one, but TWO lollipop builds for the LG G2. Both ROMs are based on the same build tree, but one ROM is CM12 and the other is a LiquidSmooth 4.0 ROM. Despite being built from the same build tree, they carry different features. They are stable and usable for daily drivers, but they may carry some bugs, like a non-functional video playback, NFC issues for LS/VS980 but it should all be sorted out in the near future. Head over to the threads to read more!:
Liquidsmooth 4.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v4-0-lg-g2-t2948395

Older posts:
An increasing amount of devices have been receiving unofficial Android Lollipop 5.0 ports, like the HTC One M8 and the LG Optimus L9. Today another device can be added to the list of phones receiving a treatment with the taste of Android Lollipop, the LG G2. While there generally has been a wide contribution from the community; testing, sharing files and giving ideas, two XDA members stood out in particular in order to create the build, @ylukasy and @InfinitusDesigner. The port is still in a very early pre-alpha stage, and the bugs are barely known yet, but the ROM boots and has even been rooted! While it might be wisest to wait until an official thread has been made before grabbing your devices and start flashing, @ylukasy has already provided a download link for the ROM, and calls for people to help discover the bugs so that they can be eliminated. Please notice that the ROM might not be stable enough to be used as a daily driver, but owners of a LG G2 are officially an important step closer to having a stable Lollipop ROM!
If this post caught your interest and you're willing to take the risk, head over to the last pages in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unofficial-cm12-nexus-5-posted-t2936398
As previously mentioned, a lot of things are not sorted out yet, and the build might not be for your device number, so make sure you read the entire thread before continuing, or simply wait untill an official thread is made.
Update:
An official thread has been posted and it can be found by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-android-lollipop-fast-clean-t2941922
The build is a port of the Nexus 5 ROM, and users of the ROM have been saying that the rom is very fast and fluid, calls work, camera works (although the quality is inferior), but other users have been reporting random reboots and incompatibilities with certain apps such as YouTube or WhatsApp.

This post will be updated regularly when new information regarding Lollipop ports surface.
Fantastic News! Will get round to trying it shortly, thanks for the link!
While I have my doubts about it being functional (or even booting) on my LS980, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Nice to see things moving at breakneck speeds these days.
On a side note, I just read the AnandTech review of the Nexus 6 and am happy to report that my well over a year old G2 beats it in several benchmarks so I'm pretty satisfied at the moment, especially considering I got it for free. I mean really...
In before "no build for xxxx?!?!?!?"
Anyone know how to port a d802 rom to d800?
Ready to try it out and see what happened..??
his build is from the same source the other was he doesn't deserve credit for it. it's using cm12 kernel and dev claims it's using nexus 5 port yet requires gapps and no signs of any nexus 5 code at all.
Wouldn't it be alot easier to just post the download link here?

It's not my work, and there are some steps which must be followed in order to make it work. I am just objectively informing any news regarding Android Lollipop for the LG G2.
OP has been updated.
The download link was removed before i could get the v3 version so im stuck with v2 and ive been using it as my daily (yeah it reboots every 5 minuets and i can leave wifi on or it will bootloop) But honestly thats the fun in testing this stuff out

Can anyone port the Nexus 5 ROM?
Updating this thread later today if nothing gets in the way.
Hi everybody!!
I need a tester please:
I built pure AOSP for the D802 from sources of Android right now, has anybody time to test it?
It is an experimental build and I didn't test it right now, so I don't know if it is working, please make a backup from your current rom.
The build comes with an built in CWM recovery and should be with root access. It can be flashed with the same instructions like the CM 12 build.
Edit: Bootloop right now ... Anybody, can you take a logcat?

Thank you in advance!! Please anybody who tries it: can you send me a pm?

Yes sure, but right now, I have to solve the bug, that the d802 wouldnt boot, so this may take some more time until I build it for other devices too.
