/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Thanks for the rom, but where is the download? All I see is the download page for TWRP
Still uploading. I will advice you when finishs. Anyway its a testing ROM...not for daily use.
Does this has any problem with battery draining more than the stock rom? because this problem existed in my old ? z1 and i can't find anything related to the camera, so am asking if is it working? and any chance of porting z4 camera framework so we can use superior auto in this rom? Thanks in advance
I think is a bit premature make these kind of discussions now. When i'll make this rome stable (now it's a test build, have some reboot problems probaby lrelated to thermanager config) we can face more problems. But don't worry, any problem/idea will be faced at right time.
Awesome! Thank for your work!
Thanks for excellent work! Hope some major bugs could be fixed asap [emoji481]

put more SS please...
WiFi not working???About Sound too??
And This is Android M or Android LP???
CyanogenMod 12 is based on android 5.x so that means this rom is lollipop
I'm waiting for the upload because the rom boot loops for a thermanager problem. Anyway i have fixed also sensors. I'm not able at this moment to offer more infos because rom boot loops. When i fix the thermanager config and rom will be stable i could be more detailed. I'm sure that RIL and 3g connection works. Wifi powers on but not reveal available Wi-Fi but i think is a configuration problem too.
Let me work guys, we are so close
Great news. Thanks God for You.Good Luck and we will wait for results

If you can force enable adb and upload the rom I'm sure that we can send you logcats to find the problems. Also, could you upload the new TWRP that is mentioned in the OP?
@tonystark88
Hi, under GPL v2 license you are required to link a copy of the kernel you used, otherwise, would be in violation of the license. Thank you.
I have taken a look at your source, would it be possible if u rebuild it with Sony's Unified Kernel? Thanks!

I'm not violating anything, i'm not reselling or forcing someone else. I don't understand all this pressure, you have all the informations you want now, you saw my sources. The kernel is the same published from sonyxperiadev. I have to fork it to my page to be in rule with GPLv2? I don't think, i think is useless.
If you want that i publish my sources (already unstable) on the first page, i don't see the problem, i will do it.
Also, i see this discussion only a waste of time that i subtract to my work.

It's not out of nothing, cos ur sources must be able to build. You changed one of the defconfigs to cyanogenmod_blablabla so you have to fork and make the changes on ur end as well. Hope u understand

It's the temp .config file generated when u build the kernel. I renamed it and used because differently from the asp defconfig is formatted well.

I see no problem here especially since Sony hasn't exactly released the kernel code. There is no reason to be so distrustful. Heck he hasn't even released the rom yet so what are you complaining about. Please don't take offense. He is just trying to further this community

Supports developers, do not lock their work
I don't understand this mentality of 'Let the dev work and do his thing' and saying that he should be given space to himself to work and build CM12 for The M4 Aqua. As it stands, you all don't know what Open Source Means. The M4 Aqua is in a state where much dev work is needed and all you guys do is hamper the speed at which developers can build ROMs for you. Without Kernel Source code and all LOCAL modifications uploaded, other devs can't jump in and help out to build for the M4 Aqua. I work mainly in the Xperia SP Forums and when the Xperia SP got released, it barely had any source code given by SONY but now we're at CM13. CM13!!!! From a 2012 device to 2015 we have gotten CM13 while YOUR M4 Aqua is stuck at even building CM12! All the Xperia SP had going for it is the AMAZING DEV support with SO MUCH OPEN SOURCE CODE that we all learnt to share. We keep the credits individual to commits and we all gave credits which were due in every rom we built.
If I can't build the ROM with what you say uses the original sony kernel source code, then this ROM is violating GPL code. I will be back soon to test the results and see if it does indeed build and churns out the exact bugs reported. If you are unable to handle even a small request that Boylush has said and say that you're already stressed out due to ONE MEASLY request then there seems to be something wrong.
Those of you who have absolutely no developer experience I would advise you to refrain from trying to defend your individual parties and let this be easily settled by simple building on my end.
I don't like these kinds of reasoning about me and about my work only because in two months other people aren't been able to boot nothing, also a recovery. This is the last time i will respond to you because this is a DEV topic, and here will be DEV things.

I repeat this thing again, all my sources are public. Just see the first page of this topic. And also, all sources are open on sonyxperiadev and are a intellectual property of Sony. All the LOCAL modifications are on my github page, in the commit area. Just click and see.

And i'm happy for the Sony XPERIA SP, this means people work together. In the case of Sony M4 Aqua i just saw topics that bumps out after i started to develop, also if only the recovery, for this device. No one sent me a message for say, "Tony let's work together".

I'm not stressed, i feel great thanks And again no one ROM violates the GPL license. Simply because there isn't yet on the site and will not be until will complete boot correctly. And about the request, i responded yet. I have to repeat that i used the same kernel published by sonyxperiadev site WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS ?

Probably in the ROMS world this sentence is true. But i'm a graduated ICT Engeneer and i worked in past in Android. Maybe i know a little bit of devel things, and i say "a little bit" because i know i can do it, and i not let you and others to offend me without know who i am.
CONCLUSION
Without me, the unexperienced, this device today has a working recovery and i hope for ALL THIS COMMUNITY a working CM12.1 . And i repeat again this thing: THE SOURCES ARE PUBLIC ON MY GITHUB AND ON THE SONYXPERIADEV GITHUB. I'm not blocking the work of anyone and i will be happy if someone else will make the rom work better and efficiently than mine. I will learn where i failed from the other devs commits, like i always did.
I hope is more clear my point of view now to avoid future noisy discussions.
Redmi note 3 ROM Uploaders please read!
I have been flashing stock roms for a few years now and I have noticed with this device that many of the uploaders are not providing all the details just some of the following:
Detailed description
Is bootloader to be unlocked first
Is a custom recovery needed
Full instructions on how to install
Screenshots
bug list
Which Gapps package to use
Please provide all (the above) the neccessary information so we can make the decision is this ROM good for us to flash on our phones.
There needs to be a template for ROM postings so it can be easy for the end users. (Forum moderators will know the formula so I ask ye guys to sticky a template)
Thank you (ordered mine 3 days ago come on gearbest I wants my precioussss)

First thing, its not stock rom, its custom rom.
Second, the developers are not being paid, and thus whatever thay are doing, just accept it and ask for help, not post post like this to command them to list things that are obviously common sense.
1. CM13 Nightly, this 2 words give enough description, what more do you need. In this time, if you don't know what cm13 is then don't buy an android. Nightly means that there are still bugs, both minor and major, and sometimes it means that there are some things broken too. The devs also list whats working or whats not. They can't list every single thing.
2. You are flashing custom rom, thus you must have custom recovery like twrp, in order to install it you must first unlock your bootloader. If you have custom recovery, then it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
3. Did you really just asked if custom recovery is needed, are you a fool or what. Let me make this clear, if you want to flash a rom, how are you supports to so without a custom recovery. Stock recovery can't flash rom, neither it can make backup, restore backup and lots of things. The most basic thing to do even before rooting is to flash a custom recovery. Without custom recovery you can't even properly root. Well you can root with some apps, but custom recovery makes it easier, just download supersu and flash it with recovery.
4. Whats there to know. If you have custom recovery, then first create a backup. Almost every thread that i have ever read on xda, it is stated every where to always make a backup before doing anything, even rooting. Then, wipe data cache dalvik system, and then flash the zip file. After that if you wish flash the gapps.
5. What do you need screenshot for. Haven't you ever saw CM13 or ressurection remix. Just google it. they are not obliged to post it here for your convenience.
6. They do provide bugs, whats working or what not. And its not like they know a bug and haven't told other about it. They, in most cases don't know how many bugs there are, the other users tell them the bugs and they fix it.
7. Why would they tell you which gapps package to use. Do they work for google. Anyway, just google gapps, your rom version, ie cm12 or cm13, you mob architecture, arm64 or arm32 or whatever, and just download it. There is no geek stuff behind it that you can't do it yourself.
And finally, you are not paying them do anything, they are doing this because they like doing this. They are not even getting paid by this. So you ordering them to these things which you can do yourself after some googling and using your brain a bit, is just unjust. Just accept what they are doing, thank them, enjoy the rom, and report the bugs, etc etc, and have fun.

1. I know what CM is this is about description not quick copy and pastes from another website.
2. Some modified roms can be ran from the stock recovery.
3. You are a fool this is information for the end user I will slap you with a fresh wet fish!
4. Information is key.
5. Screenshots show people what they are flashing very helpful to the end user
6. They don't always bub!
7. Again inofrmation helps to clarify lot's of things.
Not all the guys that post are the actual devs THAT DO IT RIGHT, some are just bad copy paste jobs coz they wanna be cool n **** and don't Fu(&ing tell me not use andorid you little pretend dev snot! :victory:

If you are using a 32bit windows, then do you ask others which application to install, 32bit or 64bit. Man you are a joke, it's not information, its common sense. information is which partition is used for what purpose. How to restore imei. How to unlock lte band, not which gapps to flash. And there is no stock recovery out ther which flash custom roms. The only roms you can flash with stock recovery are ota.

So if you are not a noob then why are u asking for such things that are common sense. Nobody ask these things now. I just passed class 12 and i know most of the procedure for tweaking an android. I can even write partition table. You just have to search. Not post like this and expect the dev to post them too. Do a little bit more work to achieve something.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
That is all. I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them too not brick a device.

From what I see it's mostly non devs just copy paste guys who are doing it.
Does it hurt to have a small guide or at least the fundemntals of requrements for the installation of each rom?

The main purpose of this thread is to unify all the useful web links, mainly other XDA threads, that contribute to improve and expand the development, guides, discussions and all other useful sources of data related to our device.
"HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS IS MY DEVICE?"
The device we are talking about here is a Huawei Mediapad T1 10, which consists in at least 3 different variants:
- LTE variant (T1-A21L)
-WiFi variant (T1-A21W)
-LTE chinese variant (T1-A23L)
They are exactly the same device in terms of hardware and software (this one vary a little), the only difference is that one has SIM slot (T1-A21L) and the other one no (T1-A21W).
An important point to keep in mind is the codename of our device, which is a technical name all Android device have and which identify exclusively to the device. This is very usual in development threads such as ROMs and Recovery threads, so you might see it in the thread title.
The codename of our device is hwt1a21l
-Technical information of our device. Specs are from the LTE variant but it applies for the WiFi variant expect for the SIM slot: [url]http://m.huawei.com/ukmobile/consumer/tablets/detail/mediapad-t1-10-uk.htm[/URL]
If you still have doubts about this topic i suggest you to ask you doubts or check other people's doubts.
RULES:
1- Please only discussions related to our device (Huawei Mediapad T1 10 T1-A21L/T1-A21W). See previous paragraph to know if you own this device.
2- If you want to report an issue or any other subject related to an existing rom, recovery or other subjects try to keep the conversations in the respective thread of what you want to talk. It's not mandatory but it's a good way to keep conversations in the proper thread so other people can check it.
3- Try to keep clean and proper conversations when posting in this thread.

Thanks, I love this.
I had my pc broken quite amount of time and i could not work on some roms that i was testing. I was planning to upload CarbonROM Kit Kat for our device, but unfortunately i see a lack of users activity for this device which makes me think that maybe it is not very relevant to create and upload the builds (which takes much more time than what it seems, and my time for this activities is quite limited).
If i see more interest for this then i could upload the rom, and maybe future ones.

Dear mustang_ssc, I don't know if you are still wondering about usefulness of uploading CarbonROM KitKat for th t1 10 ? There is an important interest from my side for more than 1 device.
If I can be of any help to avoid important workload to you, I ll be pleased to contribute.

+1 to that. I have the stock rom with root access.
The tablet mainly sits and collects dust right now so I wouldnt mind using it for testing.

Dear mustang_ssc, I don't know if you are still wondering about usefulness of uploading CarbonROM KitKat for th t1 10 ? There is an important interest from my side for more than 1 device.
If I can be of any help to avoid important workload to you, I ll be pleased to contribute.

+1 to that. I have the stock rom with root access.
The tablet mainly sits and collects dust right now so I wouldnt mind using it for testing.
Let me know if I can help.

Though the bug are not solved yet, I will probably open a thread for the rom this weekend so people interested like you can install it, test it or keep it on his tablet without mind the current bugs.
I will keep you informed
The CarbonROM KK is ready for testing purpouses, i need testers. @emmanuelix , @Apexaddicted , @PinkOstrich or anyone who owns the LTE variant who would like to test it, please send me a PM.
PD: sorry for the delay about this, i was quite short of time and also had to port it again because i realized i lost all the ROMs when i formated my hard drive disk.

Duplicated post.
Sorry but I only own the WiFi version.

Don't worry, i will open the thread and people with the WiFi variant will be able to download it. I want people with the LTE one to test it because i own the WiFi Varian as well.
Also a reminder for everyone:
Keep in mind that the rom still has some few critical bugs which you may not be happy to flash the rom. The main bugs are:
-Camera not working
-Notification led not working
-Weird bug with the Play Store which does not allow to use it unless, on my experience, you wait for about 1 day to be able to use it.

Thank you @mustang_ssc. I only own the Wi-Fi version also, sorry !
I have finally posted the ROM (CarbonROM). As mentioned it has not been tested on the LTE variant, but it should work properly as the Wi-Fi one.

I had my pc broken quite amount of time and i could not work on some roms that i was testing. I was planning to upload CarbonROM Kit Kat for our device, but unfortunately i see a lack of users activity for this device which makes me think that maybe it is not very relevant to create and upload the builds (which takes much more time than what it seems, and my time for this activities is quite limited).
If i see more interest for this then i could upload the rom, and maybe future ones.

You have the link for the rom on the previous post.
Alright, have good and bad news, let's start with the good one:
I have a completely working 5.1.1 Android ROM (EMUI 3.1) from the T1-A23L which works on the LTE and Wi-Fi variants (T1-A21L & T1_A21W), big thanks to @tenderVeteran who sent me this ROM and informed me about it. This means we finally have Lollipop for our device and we have the possibility to port another Lollipop ones.
The bad new is that i need to make it flashable but for some reason it does not boot. I need some more time to figure out about a solution on this topic and i will publish it as soon as i get it booting.
Glad to hear about the progress! Cant wait to try it out. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Additionally...Ive been looking for ways to compile a custom kernel for the mediapad. Have you tried this yet?

No logs, no detailed descriptions, no support. I've asked for someone to test the build on the DualSIM variant a few days ago. You were among those who answered but didn't provide any feedback. So i went ahead and released a version that is tested on the SingleSIM Variant and now there's 4 people complaining about DualSIM support?
less than 12 Hours of creating this thread I already regret touching Sony devices again...
Also, did you really have to quote all of the OP...?

It was 3 days ago and all you ask was how did it work regarding the dual sim, in your other thread, but with all do respect not to many are willing to or for that matter going to down grade to Android 8 , I guess that's the last version to test something that is a bit vague in detail.. so that alone pretty much kill your lack of feedback..
Now take a second and look at where most of your so called issues and questions are coming from ..our newer members due to many a lack of details on how to flash, which gapps to use ect.
which to be honest should be in the op but mainly their lack of experience and an allergic reaction to the search button..
Sony may have it's faults and nobody here twisted your are to release the rom but your lack of information is more than likely the reason for half ass answers and or problems.

Your post is an in depth explanation of what is wrong with the Sony community. The OP design is the exact same used on ALL CarbonROM XDA Threads, yet the Xperia XZ Premium and XZ1 community are the ONLY people complaining about it. Surely this is a me issue. Perfectly outlined by your assumption that the builds I released were Oreo. Heck, I even attached a picture of the XZ1 and XZP running those VERY builds I linked that said Android 9. I'm not obliged to do anything. I release those builds because it's a fun hobby. Constantly spoon feeding people because they refuse to do their research is not on that list.
There is no such thing as "which gapps to use". Ever. On any device. Go to any stupid GApps website and download the GApps that match YOUR taste. If you need advice on arm vs arm64 and which android version then you're wrong in this forum.
less than 24 hours into the thread creation and I consider closing it again. Thats gotta be a new high.

Pictures.. where as there aren't any posted on the but the logo for the rom on the lab app.. I personally haven't look at the rom on other various devices but have glanced at it here, as you said and posted the format is the same simple copy and paste, no screenshots, no flashing instructions no mention of a bug list if there are any.. so maybe the format may need a tweak or two for us slow xz1 and xz premium folks..and if the lack of info in the op causes a few questions to be asked ..then feel to take you ball and go home..

Yah I believe lack of info cause some issues. Like if you came from lineage 16 dsds and have the dsds twrp you can't flash this rom. You need to flash the single sim xz1twrp in the lineage16 thread.

It's not only this one, but in my case I run a stock rom with existenz patch, with one twrp, then to flash beetle84 ( excuse the spelling) add on, I need the aroma trwp version , then to flash j4nn's kernel you need to flash the DS twrp.. but that's another story.. but the only.point I was trying to get across lack of info in the op , your going to get questions...

Screenshots can be found on our website on this thing called Gallery. Cool huh?
Theres no buglist because theres no need for any. Our official builds have to pass fairly strong criteria before going official and are tested on the devices before going official. I never announced or claimed the Dual SIM variant would be supported.
As for flash instructions I expect users to be capable enough to use Google and do their research. If they are unable to do that, they shouldn't bother messing with Custom ROMs to begin with.
Literally the first Google result for the query "flash Android ROM" is a detailed guide from XDA which would work just fine.
However, thanks for pointing out yet again how fitting your username is. Seeing you're not interested in using Carbon nor are using it right now I'd kindly ask you to refrain from further posts in this thread.
Thanks.

Here's a random thought. What if a zip that doesn't install on the Dual SIM TWRP with an error saying its for the Single SIM variant, is actually for the Single SIM variant?
My offer still stands. I'm willing to look into Dual SIM support of someone with a Dual SIM device volunteers testing. Until then and from now on I'm either going to ignore each and every complaint about the Dual SIM support or value it with some kind of sarcastic reply depending on how I feel.
I spent countless hours working on these devices in my own free time using my own Money to pay for PC Hardware and other expenses. Yet, instead of some kind of appreciation, even if its just the simplest "thank you" post, I get people like @lilbrat *****ing at me for not spoon-feeding people with results from Google queries or worse. Too sad the Sony community hasn't changed in the last two years.
Thankfully, due to multiple reasons, the XZ1 and XZP were my last Sony phones ever, with the community being one of the biggest factors. Shame how the old Sony community turned into this.
I knew I should've left the phones in that dusty corner on my desk instead of putting any time into it.
Thanks so much for your efforts and remember you are here in xda to develop and help each other and others not to debate or criticize or show muscles. thanks again and i think carbon rom is one if the best so don't close the thread and keep up the good work

I have a Dual Sim device and i can volunteer to testing ?
I picked up one of these bad boys on a pretty deep discount to use as a dedicated retro gaming device. I’m interesting in tinkering a bit and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on a good rom choice for my use case ? I’ve already gotten my unlock code and I’m pretty much ready to go at this point !
Most people say CorvusOS and EvolutionX are good gaming ROMs, they both seem to be fast. Some people talk about some sort of ROG gaming rom, though ive never heard of it, or tried it.
But, uhm... upon looking at this devices page.. there aren't ANY custom roms available for your device.
Wow really? That's unfortunate.
Is there any point to Unlocking and installing TWRP / Rooting my device then?

I fiundbthat this is a device good for being your experimental toy-around gadget for tweaks and other such root related changes fun to play around with what you can do but from what I know so uncommonly rooted or used by devs that have any influence on the releases of these roms to really give you the full experience of having a rooted device.

You can root it for kernel optimisations and debloating, while also giving you more customisation control over your device.
TWRP is available, so rooting should be possible with magisk.
