CyanogenMod for M4 aqua - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hello people.
I just came to the forums and since nothing is happening here visibly, i was wondering to do CyanogenMod bringup for the device
Dont forget the poll above
If there are people here, willing to help us out a bit, it would be good to do something here.
Post your hangouts here, if you are interested in what we are wanting to do.
We can use all the help available. Testing, dev-ing, etc! Just pool in everything we got and lets get rolling

I hope cm comes to this device I see ATM there's not a lot happening in the way of custom ROMs suppose its early days [emoji3]

Yeah, although CM would be good at some point in the future, I don't know how useful it is at the moment since the phone is running pretty much stock android anyway with just minimal Sony skinning on top however it'd still be nice to see it as an option

(As soon as I will be able to buy it this week. )

+1 ! Would be awesome

cant wait for a better rom for M4!

But now how can M4 Aqua ROOT ? , many root tools not support yet ?

have you tried kingroot? it works on z3 lollipop

Today I bought E2303.

None of the rooting methods are working.
Cyanogen would be nice . .

Cyanogenmod would be soooo nice to see on our phones! HW is great, but sony's software is crippling it...

who can root it???

Can't wait for CM. There is so much bloat in this phone

Maybe in a few months

Have Sony released device/kernel sources? I'm planning to buy this phone and I can compile roms if it has open sources

[Q] CM10.1 Support present ?

HI guys I am user and developer from Sony2011 forums.
I was going to buy a Desire X today but then decided to check for it support on xda.
As i love to use PA or PAC-man. I wanted to ask does this device has CM10.1 support ?
I was unable to locate the sources at Cyanogen's github.
If not whats the last Cyanogen version that this phone got ?
Also is the kernel source by HTC released for this device ?
I hope some one answers my questions soon.
I am getting this phone at quite cheap price. So I am tempted to buy it.
quick view on the forum would tell you, that cm isnt officialy there sofar (need s-off for that, could take some time, or not, dunno), sources for phone are released at htcdev.com

1) A great developer we have here, TheAndroidManual, was able to boot PA in his Desire X so I guess soon we will have it available (his gonna upload a video tomorrow).
2) Another great developer, atis112, released 2 alpha builds of CM9 but he stopped his work because some countries already have 4.1.1 available and he's waiting for HTC to release the kernel source so he can work in CM10.
3) Yes, for ICS there's kernel source available in here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Meanwhile, in my opinion, this is a great device, well built and with a amazing display so I'd recommend you to buy it!
Have a great day
So this device isn't officially supported by CM.
Is the soff available ??
I will search more on it as I have never owned a HTC before so don't know what actually soff means
If some one knows a proper page explaining it plz provide links.
If I buy this device I will try my best to get the CM10.1 and PA and PAC to this device.
Its my exmas days so don't have much time to go through the whole forum that's the reason I posted this.
Thanks for your replies guys

First of all, no this device doesn't have those fancy roms cuz our dev community is small. But still many people are working on them and you may find them anytime.
Well, we dont have cm10.1 support cuz the device tree's are not present. Already atis is working on it.
CM9 is the most stable we have.
Yes kernel sources are released for 3.0 kernel but 3.4 sources are pending.
My say, buy it.

Custom ROM Progress/Collaboration?

I am curious if anyone is currently working on getting CM (or any custom ROM) working for our devices. I'm not trying to bug anyone or get an ETA, but I was thinking about attempting to port CM with their tutorial.
If anyone is working on porting a ROM, or has any tips for me I'd love to talk. Thanks.
I've just started looking into porting CM over to the 5x. I've never built a port before and I'm a bit lost in the CM documentation for it. Feel free to PM me or post below with any tips or advice.

I have only built unofficial builds before, but hopefully since we have source and other Huawei devices with CM, it should be fairly easy.
If you haven't built CM for a device that it's already been ported to, I'd recommend doing that before you attempt to port it.
Good luck. I'll post any progress I make.
Am too eagerly waiting for cm on 5x .fed up of bad performance from stock .heating up too much .I was really disappointed by the heating problem .
What else I had hopes On was the on cm12.1 or 13 .
I usually check for a thread if anyone build one cm ROM for our device but still the development haven't started !

It's still early. The fact that Huawei makes bootloader unlock codes available and has provided the amount of source code for the kernel that they have has allowed development here to happen much more rapidly than many devices do (particularly devices that lie out side of "volume" interest -- like an S5 or S6). I'm pretty optimistic.
The flip side is that life is so busy for me at the moment that it makes patience pretty easy (as in, if a stable cm13 suddenly became available I still would take my sweet time in getting around to flashing it). If I had more time on my hands it would probably be different.
Yes lets see how long we need to wait !
Can someone (hopefully a dev like @deadman96385, @EarlyMon @cyrusalmighty) confirm/agree that the Honor 5X's (I have KIW-24, US ver.) vendor = HONOR and codename = HNKIW-Q. I'm a little perplexed by what the codename is since HNKIW-Q doesn't seem right. I got that name from the build.prop ro.product.device like CM recommends.
Can anyone confirm that I have the vendor and codename right? Thanks.
EDIT: After looking at similar Huawei devices (Ascend Mate 2) it looks like the codename should just be "kiw". The Mate 2's actual ro.product.device = hwMT2LO3, but it's CM codename is "mt2." Because of this, I think for the CM codename should be "kiw". Does that sound right?

In theory but the kiw stands for kiwi this info is directly from Huawei and we all like Kiwi more lol. You also do have a L24 US variant

Thanks. So any custom ROM development for this device will be like Huawei/kiwi? I'm just wondering, because I'd like to know how I should be naming my files specific to Honor 5X ROM development.
EDIT:
Also, @deadman96385 do you mind sharing the partition sizes you used for building TWRP?
Name it kiwi .it sounds really great ! Moreover i dont what others are thinking on naming this device ,but kiwi is maximum minds .Go for it !

I didn't realize you had already started working on a CM port. I guess I can't really help out then. :/
Don't get me wrong, I do really appreciate all the work you do for this device.

Cyanogenmod ROM mipad 2

Does anyone know if a cyanogenmod rom for mipad 2 is available?

Dear Developers and Hackers of XDA,
I just bought this tablet. I looked around on the MIUI forum for MI Pad 2 and see that there are ways to root a developer MIUI ROM for this tablet. I also see that there are also instructions to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. I am big fan of Cyanogemod and am hoping to have it on the tablet. Has anybody tried and/succeeded to port Cyanogenmod to this tablet?
Hoping for the best
Sincerely
dspati
Hi dEvasEnApati I'm in your situation! I hope to recive news as soon as possible because i want to install cyano!
Xda dev have you got some news?
Hi,
Following the instructions from the miui forum I managed to unlock the bootloader, root , install TWRP and AOSP rom. I was wondering what are the requirements to have a cyanogen mod for it? Are there CMs for devices with intel x86_64 hardware?
I'll get my mipad 2 soon! I think in a week or two then I'll Start heavy development on it ? i think of aosp is possible cm will be possible too :] I'll keep u guys updated
Hi Nailyouh,
Thank you very much for doing this!
Maybe this may help: As paul_ro21 mentioned, a working AOSP rom, which was most probably developed by Xiaomi is available on the miui forums. I have it on my mi pad 2 as well and it's working fine. I am looking forward to a CM rom for this tablet and I will be happy to help with testing!
Sincerely
dspati

Im too tired with stupid MIUI on this awesome tablet :
Stupid ram management, it has 2gb ram but it cannot run multi-tasking !
Im facing a big Problem i was not aware about..the Kernel of the MiPad2 is not open source so we are pretty f**ed by xiaomi. In fact the Kernel source has to be released but xiaomi don't care about Copyright infringements. I regret the decision buying this Tab. I like the Dualboot thingy and the aosp Rom runs smooth as butter but without the source we'll stuck on 5.1.1. really sad if you ask me, the Tablet is really beautyful and I love the outstanding Display. I'll try to figure around with the kernel from the aosp Rom next week I'll keep u informend and will make a thread if I suceed.
Cheers

Newbie in AOSP builds

Hi guys. I actually never faced building my own AOSP build for any device. I wanted to start, or just try (Holidays incomming, too much free time). I know sony placed a tutorial (here supposed to be url link, but i cannot paste it here, anyway, its in sony developer section) but i wanted to ask you, what should i know (expect this tutorial obviously) to start making my first AOSP build. I got tired to use stock rom, so i decided to make something for m4 aqua. This is my phone that i usually use. Should i start with my old phone (xperia SP) to understand this enviroment, or make something for m4 aqua? Feel free to write something obviously, cause i might dont know it.
My english might not be perfect, sorry
Sony has not yet released Marshmallow source of this fone yet. So yes start with other fone, then when they release, do this one.

Future Development

Hi everyone, who still browses these threads.
It's pretty obvious that development for our devices is practically dead. But as I noticed pretty recently - devices like Xperia T or S III mini are one of the first to get Lineage OS. I believe someone spoke about starting new development for Xperia P and I'm interested in any news. Also, I have two Xperia U devices laying around so I'd be willing to help out. Tell me, what you think. Can we push P, U, Sola or Go any further? It seems like a fun challenge to me...
The sony devices with novathor chipset i almoast dead duo to the low chip power an some developers have left this phones ... but are some developer like hakx20 is still working on cm12.1 and lineage 13 for xperia p and kebabra10 a rusian developer is trying to build lineage 14 for xperia p ... i hope to get a bugles lineage 13 on my phone
@HiR3x thanks for mentioning me but well kadabra10 gave up already and well im working on Oreo which is almost done just need to get working boot.img. But well yeah this is just for Xperia P and well once i got it booting i will release all the device tree sources so other devs can use them.

If you have 2 Xperia U you could be a tester if you want but well still need to finish oreo then we can test
And to answer the second question then yes we can push our devices a lot more then LP yeah sure we didnt get MM or N but well with help of @ChronoMonochrome i pushed the device a lot and well i got an zip file of Oreo that will 90% work but well i still didnt get working boot.img which im working on i had a holiday for few days because Christmas and all that stuff but well i need to start working on it again.
So Plan is like this:
1. Working boot.img with disabled SElinux
2. Test the zip
3.5. If it doesnt boot find a fix.
4. Fix bugs
The problem is that i needed to delete entire SEpolicy stuff in device tree to get it compile because it wasnt updated from LP and well MM changed a lot of SElinux stuff so the first thing to do is to disable SElinux totally in kernel if that boots up then we can move on and start to create SEpolicy again from scratch (I could use some help on creating the SEpolicy).
And once thats done fix the bugs that were introduced in Oreo bringup.
Also i know 8.0 is not up to date but well once i get this booted up i will surely download LineageOS15.1 sources and build them.
So what i can say at the end is that its not 100% sure that we will get Oreo running but well its 90% possible that we will get it booted up.
So just wait its gonna take some time since im the only dev doing the work.
