Hey!
There are many Intel z2580 android devices out there without proper Kikat updates. Sure they may be lesser known but some have a larger following.
Few manufacturers have made the effort to provide kitkat updates for this modern chipset. I'd say there is a significant interest to at least try to create some generic port of the few kitkat firmwares that are available. This could be the whats needed to get the ball rolling.
What are your thoughts? (Check out the post below for a few details.)
Thank you for reading.

There is an androidx86 project that has already released a 4.4 KitKat android for x86 devices (netbooks etc.) Could something like that be used in Ramos i8, i9 or similar Intel processor devices somehow? I suppose the install process is the hardest part...
Here is the link to the project:

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.
Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.
My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.
Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.

Hi devs, Thanks for filling up the development sections :highfive: with lots of new roms, I was wondering - nokia 6 also uses Snapdragon 430 Soc, is there any possibility to port its ROM to redmi 3s/prime ??. I'm just a beginner and I have no idea about rom development after kitkat, further I also saw @zwliew device tree for cm14, has anyone tried porting it?

They know, dev's waiting for caf patches and/or are working on it already.
I have a Lenovo s820 which is a quad core processor based on mtk 6589. Lenovo provided Open Source Code for Kitkat on their website but i would like to update it to lollipop or maybe further. I previously owned a MI4I(Ferrari) which originally had lollipop but the developers were able to modify the device tree to support nougat and now even Oreo. If anyone of you'll could provide the steps or resources to do so i would be grateful.
Looking forward to expert opinion on this thread.
The broken is the chip set. They never release the source code for their kernel changes. This is why you don't see alot of development for those chips.
We Lenovo K5 Note users are stuck with Marshmallow in the age of Oreo. And searching the XDA didn't find a single ROM development dedicated to Lenovo K5 Note.
Even here people discussing and developing Lenovo K5 and K5 Plus but no mention for K5 Note.
Anyone out there working on a Lineage 14.1 or 15 projects or any other AOSP-like projects to bring Nougat or Oreo to this poor phone?
Or is it something like the development is impossible for K5 Note in this world?? :laugh:

Its mtk man there is no kernel source available to work so don't expect any rom to work easily
You shouldn't have bought a mtk phone instead you should have gone for Qualcomm

That's really sad. It looks like a worst purchase by me. Will consider better Snapdragon phone from next time.
Thanks!

But its processor is quite good and it is able to tolerate further ROM updates. We surely deserve the lineage os15.0 oreo update. Don't you think?

Absolutely. It could unleash it's true power if it was run with Lineage or other better ROMs.

Yeah surely it can run Lineage os 15 but there is no dev to develop that rom for your Device

Check Lenovo official site the unofficial lineage 15 is available. I have to give a try tomorrow and then reports

I think i found out the site he was talking about:
https://www.aospextended.com/devices/nougat/
I am sure this is the site but this is noughat & not oreo and also this is for lenovo A7000-a and not for lenovo k5 note which is A7020 i am also providing the comparison link below of these two phone's below kindly everyone see the comparison results and suggest me can i use this rom in Lenovo K5 note from the link mentioned above.
Comparison Link of Lenovo A7000-a Vs A7020
https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7088&idPhone2=7878

Hi, there are ways to reverse engineer the kernel.

Can you look into this?

Well actually kernel is not an issue here , roms can be made using prebuilt kernel also atleast the Android version your stock ROM has . The real issue is lack of devs so either one of you guys learn how to compile roms or just make a port ROM for your device but my recommendation stay on stock as there will not be any noticeable difference in performance or bb .

I have a keen interest in trying it out,
Can you guide me to right direction.
I have gone through a lot but it's scattered all over the place.
I m a c# developer, quite understand programming.
I would be using I7 processor, windows 10 , for the build

Basically I would like to port any existing ROM like LineageOS

For compiling roms .
Idk any good threads for porting roms but it's fairly easy and If you will google it the 1st/2nd result will do the work . Ironically there is no need of programming required for compiling or porting roms so just get started .
Edit :- I couldn't confirm the thread you shared last time. In theory it should work
I bought a moto edge 20 fusion from Flipkart almost a week ago. I've been watching this forum for a week but there have been no posts whatsovever. So this led me to wonder wether this phone will get any custom rom at all.
Even a bootloader unlock or custom recovery for this device would be much appreciated.

Yeah same thoughts, only hindrance is the MediaTek SoC. I read around and it seems MediaTek doesn't share their source code or libraries to public like SnapDragon which is necessary for custom ROM development. Also read that one Xiaomi device with mediaTek had great custom ROM support as Xiaomi provided the source code or other resource, so it's not impossible to build custom ROM. Let's hope Motorola and MediaTek provide resources.

Are you willing to test the kernel?
Sakthivel Nadar, has agreed to develop kernel and roms, he is maintaining roms and did bringup for these devices.
- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.
All the above devices are based on mediatek chipsets.
Here's his GitHub for reference.
