[KERNEL] FenomenalMOD [UBERTC][24-03-2017] - LG K7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme

INTRO:
I present a new version of my kernel, now for the lg k7, the kernel has patches that will help you get a very good performance, as well as a longer battery life, and better fluidity, is compiled with UbertTC in its version 5.2, in addition to containing patches for a correct stability.
Features:
* Compiled with UberTC
* More coming soon...
Downloads:
Preview version -> Download
Instructions:
* Flash in TWRP
Notes:
* Im only test in MetroPCS variant
Sources:
GitHub

Reserved
....

Worked flawlessly. Flashed with TWRP and rebooted and system loaded up fine. There was a few minor lags as it booted into the system past the MetroPCS logo but that was probably due to the changes made by the zip but after that the system was more fluid than it previously was even after having soo many apps installed. Great work. This is one step closer to completing a custom rom like CM13 or Lineage OS. Good luck with more development.

Yeah I have ported a few ROMs but when it comes down to comp... A ROM that's a whole different ball park for me also.

You could try to Port the LG Leon ROMs. There's 2 I don't have the phone so I can not try.

Good job on the kernel compile i couldnt get mine to boot, good luck on the lineage compile. Ive picked this phone back up so let me know if you need any help.

Just curious, what version of Lineage OS were you building?
EDIT: I am running the kernel on the T-Mobile K330 variant with no issues. Good work :good:

[DEV][WIP] K900 cm10.1 device tree

K900 Device Tree project
hi folks, a couple of months ago i decided it was time to create a working device tree at least to build cwm, since lenovo is very bad at opensource with us, it is nearly impossible to build a working cyanogen. Fortunately cwm doesn't need too much to be build so i grabbed the motorola razr i device tree from @hazou and wrote a new device tree for us. But unfortunately we still need a developer firmware from lenovo to flash recovery.img's. However, cwm builds well and i want to share my work to any interested developer who are willing to help.

Its true, thanks for your effort QuBeX. I hope it works. I will follow.
Great job! I am also interested in hacking my K900 to enable kvm kernel module to run VMs on it.
The issue was always their stupid secure boot process which prevent use to put our kernel or even a kernel module into the system.
You refer to a developer firmware. Did you get chance to have access to one of those?
Does that turns off secure boot or you somhow got the signing key?
Please pm me if you know more details on that.
Thanks a lot.

Lenovo hasn't provided a dev firmware yet. And I don't think they will... Anyway we now have working recovery, and we are finding out how to bypass signature check, but it is really difficult.
Talking about the kernel, have you ever tried kexec? I don't know very much of it but you can find a lot of info and stuff in google
Thanks, man. That is a briliant idea!
I have built the kexec executible and have loaded my custom kernel into the memory.
Of course when it ran the new kernel, I got a black screen for now. But it's a good start. I'll debug it and keep you guys updated with the progress.

Just a quick update on progress.
Tried all kinds of tricks including modifying kernel code on the fly.
Still no luck on kexec yet.
But I found a loophole in the JB4.3 kernel which I used to have the kernel module signature check disabled.
Now I can load any kerenl module I built.
If anybody has interest on that tool, please PM me.
Now we have AOSP 4.3 branch in our device tree: https://github.com/lenovo-k900/android_device_lenovo_redhookbay/tree/aosp-4.3

Well I've just downloaded global rom for snapdragon 820,and next step is to make my development environment, so I'll try porting it to Lg G5 H850. No eta but I'll try to make it work fully,and when I'm done or have a functional rom,I'll post it.
Maybe buy an xiaomi phone, Note 2 coming soon 6gig of ram, it's tempting curved edges as well.

Didn't had much time yet, but so far Ubuntu running in virtualbox,dat files from both miui rom and stock G5 are extracted. Few steps I need to do and then just need to start porting. But won't really have a lot time for it until Monday,busy with work.
Made some progress,so far system files have been replaced, now I need to edit certain files, and then it's boot.img modifying. Boot.img I'm going to do tomorrow,since it's pretty late here. And after that it's testing time, flash and see what's not working,hehe and try to fix it.

What kind of errors did you get when you tried flashing? It's not as easy at it seems,I've managed to pass flashing but got just reboots, so now I'm replacing some other files to see if I can get it to boot completely into android

Tried although i get a TWRP error when trying to flash, could you upload your MIUI creation so i can take a look and compare ?
Well its 2:10AM now so off to bed might try another method tomorrow
If you are getting a twrp error (doesn't want to flash) usually means zip you didn't make a flashable zip. If you don't know how to do it,use some of the Android kitchens to create it,it's easy and really doesn't take too much time. Currently my zip is way to big to upload due to fact that I'm using stock lg rom as base ( hoping to get stock camera in the end,harder but possible ).
Would love to see MIUI on the G5. There was people trying for ages to port it for the G4 but had no success at all so heres hoping
Does anyone know why is there no "official" G5 miui?
any news?

Did you ask permission to post this?
There could be reasons why devs don't post their work for general public release in device forums.
Also if we are going to credit the rom then the original author @deadman96385 should be recognized.

I think you'll find the original sources are from @deadman96385 repo.
Irrespective of that it's still prudent to ask the current developer for permission.

Well I went ahead and tried this build anyways and it boots fine. Video and audio is working. It's a bit sluggish at times but I think that could be solved with A little work on the kernel. As long as I didn't over do it with the apps installed it ran very nicely though. I really hope that the original dev (who is a genius in my mind) keeps working on this port. I would be more than willing to do the testing and am used to logcats. Just let me know. And thank you for sharing.
i tried this the other day and i like it. but there are a couple of bugs that i found. when installing Gapps Google Music stops working on boot which i removed because i don't use it anyway. And no cameras work on it at all. all apps fail to load camera. other than that i like it. i hope someone works on this more or makes newer roms for this device.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed too. This is a good tablet. I picked up the Tab 3 t110 last year around Christmas and it too has almost no development. At least this tab has a ported CM based rom to tinker with. A good stock rooted rom would be nice too. I will be watching this thread to see if it goes anywhere.

That is what I am looking for too a zip of the stock rooted firmware. I can debloat it myself but its the zip that I wish I knew how to get or make.
Currently running Evervolv on my t350. Over joyed to have found a Rom and development on this device, I had lost hope for it. Thanks to everyone especially the dev.
I finally got this ROM to run very smoothly and everything is working as it should. Camera, videos, audio and Bluetooth all working. About the only thing that isn't that great is battery consumption but I think as the rom settles in it may get better. I hope that the original dev decides to officially support the t350 with his build of Evervolve. So far so good. Even the theme engine worked flawlessly.

They worked without moding anything. But it wasn't an easy install... Lol.. I would add an app or two and let it go for a while. Doing it that way it worked great. The only issue was the battery usage. It wasn't good at all but if we had a kernel that would allow for tweaking, I think it could be tamed. Its a good start to having a ROM other than TouchWiz. : )
Please help me
I installed this custom rom and there is no google play services or nothing. just audio fx, calculator, chromium, clock. contacts, documents, downloads, email, gallery, music, settings and themes. No google anything. Please link me or tell me how to find the google play services version that i need, will be much appreciated thanks in advance

[PROJECT] Custom ROM for the SM-G360V

I'm currently working on a long-term project to get a custom stock ROM (if that makes sense) for the Galaxy Core Prime G360V. My goal is to make it exactly the same as the stock ROM, except minus all the bloat and possibly with root/SuperSU baked in. My first step in this project is complete; I have successfully extracted the root>system folder of the phone. You can download it from the link if you would like to assist me in this project. I'm still relatively a noob, so I will need some help with this. Any tips or assistance would be appreciated. Some info about the ROM I'm using:
Model no: SM-G360V
Android version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: G360VVRU3BOK2
Build number: LMY48B.G360VVRU3BOK2
Heavily inspired by Psilocelium: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core-prime/how-to/sm-s820l-freshly-built-rom-core-prime-t3516067[/URL]
Download link (PM me if dead):
https://www.mediafire.com/?cuwxch6xch255kq
UPDATE (5/21/2017): Academics have been really busy lately, but I should have time to finish the ROM this summer. I've upgraded to the Moto G5 Plus but will still be around to help with this device. Thanks for the support, and you all will know when the ROM is ready.
Leave a thanks if this helped anyone. And if you can offer any help to my little project please PM me. Thanks!

Hey[emoji14]
Thanks you for sharing what you are doing. If you want some help, I can help you. If you want th build a custom Rom based on samsung stock rom, you'll need 2 computers with Linux and Windows or a dual boot (Linux to edit system image and windows to use ODIN, but you can also use linux to flash .tar, but for me its really complicated ^^ )

Sorry for inactivity.
I recently lost my Core Prime and as a result cannot develop right now. But I plan on doing something a bit more radical.. making a real custom ROM, like Lineage.
If any of you can, I would really appreciate it if you would be willing to grab one of the ROMs for other variants: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-lineageos-14-1-samsung-galaxy-core-t3586184
Edit the updater-script (with Notepad++) to include "coreprimeltevzw" and flash it with FlashFire. Let me know of the results if you do it. As soon as I find my own I will be trying it myself. Thanks all.

Going to start porting ROMs

I am noticing this phone doesn't have a lot of development and this phone is a really nice one. It's fast and it runs anything I throw at it. I want to start porting some ROMs and maybe compile a kernel for it and see what this baby can do more. Any ideas on what ROMs you want me to port and I will start from there? Thanks guys.
I've been working on a tree I've been authoring from scratch. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon so I can get the kernel updated and up to nougat and then to Oreo. I've had to learn everything on the fly and things keep getting in the way, but hopefully things will go much smoother for all of us once my tree is finished.

Lineage OS please
all the roms out are emui and i feel it makes this phone a lot slower than the specs would otherwise say it should be. would love love love to have Lineage OS on this phone as well.
I need a tester to try flashing Lineage OS after I'm done with it. It should be done by tomorrow.

I'll be willing to test it for sure.
OP -- Not that I'm not salivating at the thought of getting lineageos on this phone, but what are your credentials..? You've only made two posts on xda (both on this thread), so understand the hesitation to run anything you release. Who are you - how long have you been at it, have you released any roms elsewhere?
In any case, welcome to xda!

I'd be down to test it too.
I used to create ROMS for HTC Evo Shift 4G. Also known as the shifty. It was called Ginger8. I don't have the older HTC so I stopped development.

Right on, no rush my dude lol. Thanks again!
Tried flashing it and it won't boot up. Will continue to look into this more. Might be possible to build Lineage OS for this device. I will try that tonight and post back with results.

I'd b willing to bet it's because of the EMUI junk....
Can someone pull a system.img from a working B180 stock rom? Might aid me in fixing it.

I got you my dude, give me a few. I have a whole working Rom too if you need that as well.
I need just the system.img. I don't need a zip file. I want to build off stock as close as possible. I can't extract it from the zip I have now.
