Hello everybody,
I'm back on the forums after being away for some time.
In the meantime I got myself my own LG Optimus G to be able to get to effective developing for this device.
My opinion is that this device is a powerfull device with a lot of "still to be unlocked" potential.
Before I bought the LG Optimus G I used the Samsung Galaxy S Plus, which had a very active and good developers which even today still perfectly support this old device.
When that phone launched it contained Android 2.3.6, but today it supports even the Android 4.4.4 builds (unoffical).
One of the most important steps in achieving this goal was to move from the Samsung provided kernel source to the CAF (Code Aurora Forum) based kernel source.
Because I wish the LG Optimus G the same future as my old device, I would like to get busy with bringing up the CAF kernel codebase on the LG Optimus G.
This will be a big project which is why I request fellow developers which are interested in this project to please join and form a development team with a common goal.
What needs to be done is:
- Obtain official LG Optimus G (Android 4.4) kernel sourcecode from: LGE975_G_Kitkat_Android_V20a_Kernel.zip
- Obtain latest CAF Kernel codebase (chipset apq8064) from: msm-5bfc8718998bedfeea1997d83838ffd1981cbf12.tar.gz (Last modification date: 30-06-2014)
- Extract added LGE Specific code and drivers from the official LG kernel source.
- Set-up a team Github with the clean CAF codebase, which all the driver and LG specific code will be added to.
If you're interested in helping with this project please contact me or leave a message over here.
Please no spamming etc.
Greetings PsychoGame
Hello everybody,
A little status update:
At this moment a 2-man team has been formed.
We have a team Github set-up for the development process this team will have.
The github link is: https://github.com/OptimusG-Dev-Team
If you are interested in giving us a helping hand with this project you're more than welcome.
Leave a message in this forum thread or contact me through a PM.
Experience with linux and also with the kernel is of course important.
Greetings PsychoGame
Bravo. Im hopeless in terms of what ever you code ninjas do, just wanted to let you know that i and most likely all in LGOG community greatly value this project. If you haven't already, perhaps PM some kernel devs as this would help in project gaining momentum and improved outcomes.
Happy to see that you're back psycho. Very brilliant idea. I hereby tag some devs to attract their attention. @faust93 @Loller79 , @jollaman999 , @Kevinjoa , @ThatKawaiiGuy , @xboxfanj , @JustinXu , @houstonn
Hey, I don't know much about kernel stuff, I'm learning Java atm so might be able to give tips. Not a lot though.
I don't have the Optimus G anymore (haven't since March), so I won't be able to do a ton, but I can help solve issues if/when needed.

I don't have kernel knowledge that much... I just referenced other dev's kernel sources and fix it to my style.
But thanks for mention to me.
It'll take some time, but I'm sure we get there.
Thank you for tagging some other devs inside this thread so it raises more awareness.
Everybody is welcome to join this project, for example clone the repositories, making changes and contribute.
That's exactly what opensource is all about.
And of course if you're interested in joining the team just send me a PM and I'll bring you up to speed on the progress/process and give you the needed information.
At this moment I'm also in contact with a official LG Developer which hopefully can provide me with some information that will help this porting process as well.

Generally, if you look at the branch of the libEGL_adreno file (using strings or hexedit), you can figure out what tag the OEM used (or branch) and then plop their source over that, then git pull the latest branch on top and fix any conflicts.

Thanks for the information xboxfanj . I never noticed the branch information inside the LibEGL_adreno files.
This also helps a lot with the extraction of the LGE added code as the branch is now as close to the LG used sources.
This keeps the extracted LGE patches as clean as possble to almost only include the LGE added stuff.

No problem. Let me know if you need help. Obviously, I can't test anything, but I should be able to help you get things building.
Oh, i noticed this thread just now.
I can help but i don't have much free time these months.
The idea is interesting from what i've seen, if you want another hand contact me via pm

Today we've updated the proj-kernel repository with fully patched kernel sourcecode.
With a few small 'hacks' we are able to build the j1vd-perf_defconfig to the end.
What remains is getting the updated kernel to boot on the Optimus G boards.
At least the project is moving forward.
Just wanted to give everybody a update on the progress we're making.
Greetings PsychoGame
Here I'm back with some great news for everybody.
Today the kernel which was built using our sourcecode has succesfully booted on stock KK rom from LG.
The next steps we'll be taking will be getting the kernel to work with CM11 as well.
This way I hope we will have a perfectly stable and up-to-date kernel for the Optimus G which will work for Stock as well as CM based roms.

very nice job mate. I think in this step @faust93 can help a lot.
Is this kernel work specific to E975, or will it be compatible with for example Sprint variant LS970?

At the moment it is based off E975 sources so it won't work on ls970 and similar.
Running it on my phone now and it works flawlessly.
Please thank a lot the team that made this possible and xboxfanj who helped with the project.
What's up guys? Is there anything we can help with? any test version or something?

i read something in the net while i was surfing yesterday, you can look here: http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-atrix-hd-gets-official-cyanogenmod-support
and then reading these lines made me surprised(maybe getting official cyanogenmod support for ancora is impossible after this moment but who kowns?)
If an Android device has enough of a following, and there are developer(s) willing to commit (no pun intended) to maintaining the device in the official CyanogenMod source tree, this device becomes officially supported -- and receives official builds of the CyanogenMod ROM.
if someone be maintainer for our device can we get official support from CyanogenMod?
is this really possible?
ı mean our device source code are available in github(kernel source device source and vendor files)
maybe forking our device source into CyanogenMod source tree can make this possible or am ı wrong??
maybe this is a bulsh*it after this moment but just wondering
for example galaxy s is getting official support from Cyanogenmod still if im not mistaken mr. pawit is their maintainer and developer
ım waiting your answers brothers what do you think about that? @arco68 @arsradu @LeroViten @honeyx and all ancora devs
with my best regards :good:
The SGW was for more than 3 years without official CM support and we didn´t miss anything, so I don´t think this is that much important for the rest of it´s counted days.

ı understood bro but is there any hope for galaxy w? return of ancora :good: and also ı understood that from your comment : technically this is possible,galaxy w can get official support from CM Team but this is unnecessary for this dead device isnt it?
I simply don´t think this will happen because you have to look from their point of view.
1. this device is a low activity device in Amercian terms. 2. So never was that popular to get their attention. 3. is already old and not up to date. 4. It´s hype time is almost over and many earlier SGW users are going to replace it. 5. CM is going a different route now and will be focusing on their "device" they are going to launch soon. And finally 6. Why should they change this now after already 3 years?
So if I were CM I would look for the future not looking back to the past with it´s outdated devices and not even waste a single tought about devices like the SGW.
Is this bad for the SGW owners? As long we are having Devs like Radu who are porting the latest ROMs to this device it really doesn´t matter CM is supporting it officially or not supporting it.
So what do you expect from being supported by CM? You only would be able to install the latest nightlys launched by the CM team with all the bugs in the CM code included and maybe some day fixed. A Dev who is porting their CM sources of course has to fight with these bugs too, but also cares to fix the most important ones.
I asked arco68 a while ago, and he said it's because of legacy camera drivers that we are unsupported.

auhh thats true sir arne is right as always anyway thanx man for informing us

I don't think so...anyway, we already have the stable n smooth ROM so far. Without Officail, it's does not matter at all.
Hello sir @arco68
First of all huge thanx for your great work on our Wonders
And secondly i wonder something
We are using s5k4ecgx sensor for back camera
And if we add the following patches and if we use v4l2 for camera driver, Can we use CAF based qcom cameraHAL?
-http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg50380.html
And probably if we use new qcom cameraHAL, then we wont need legacy stuff the CM doesnt like(MemoryHeapBase,Overlay)
Then maybe we can get cm nightlies
Maybe porting new camera Hal to our phone can be hard but we must not give up. We are so close to official CM after ION i think. We can do it and we can success :good:
Thanx
Regards

I heard at devcon that a few guys are working on Sailfish ports for a few phones, including ours. So I decided to get them together with the devs here on the forum to get the port done. The place where the developers and porters of Sailfish OS are talking to each other is on freenode, so if you want to help them... just go there and join the channel #sailfishos-porters.
Warning: This is a developement project. So please only join the channel if you really want to help. Just going there to ask for ETAs or stuff like that won' t be tolerated. Also this thread should be a place for developers to collect ideas and fix bugs, not for the purpose of asking for ETAs. Please keep that in mind.
For the initial port I would like to thank @vgrade; information on how to install the port are in second post!

Let me know if you need any help, I'm new to porting, but I'd be willing to lend a hand and do some of the grunt work - if you need it.
I'm very interested by getting Sailfish OS on my One Plus.
I don't know how to install the build you'll provide but I suppose that you will give a litte tutorial with it.
I'm now following this thread !
Looking forward to this
@dansou901 might be of interest.

That's just a followup from vgrades tweet, so nothing new. The information that he will share the build after MWC is down in the comments...
Guys Hi
As you see great progress made during MWC week on the port. Stskeeps from Jolla identified the bug stoppng UI coming up so we are go now.
Good to see the chase up on Multirom as this makes it easier for folks to test. I think it just needs to have a build which includes the sailfish patches included so any recent upstream build should suffice. On the add room page you should see a SailfishOs radio button.
Stay tuned for more details and drop into #sailfishos-poters channel on freenode IRC and say hello.

I don't have the skills but I'm willing to support the initiative as far as I can!
Sounds like the same issue i had, check google-cert folder that you have it and also build the files so that you edit default storage path. It was a few months ago i tried to build my own and i ended up with similair problem and it was related to missing cert and wrong storage path.
Im no expert, its just a hobby of mine so i might be wrong

What do you need?
Here's a kernel for inline building:
https://github.com/codeworkx/android_kernel_huawei_h60
In original sources, have at look at drivers/vendor/hisi.
There are some "acore" folders with android userspace stuff. Doesn't belong there, but it's there.
I've seen some kirin stuff for bionic.
For everything else you have to use their libraries and make them working with aosp.
I assume this requires a ****load of bad hacks.

Is this project still active? Just curious.
What would it take to see a base AOSP ROM put together for the LG G4? I know there's some folks working hard at bringing CM to the G4, but what about an AOSP unmodified ROM with drivers, of course? I've always wondered if that is a better option than say a ROM like CM which has loads of known bugs and issues.
Maybe an AOSP super-stock setup which we could modify after via Xposed / Mods to add in what we want would be a better option?

After we finish the device tree and everything is working, it can be then used to build whatever Rom you desire
You rock, thank you for the quick response! I'm not even sure what kind of rom I desire. I just know it would be neat to go full on basic AOSP and add from there without some of the clutter and bugs introduced with CM's stuff, although CM has always been an enjoyable experience. Whoot for guys like you!
I know this is old thread... but what source tree are we talking about here? Obviously not AOSP itself, i think... right?
CM source?
Maybe i'm missing something about branches of AOSP... and other trees..
many thanks

They talked about device tree here. An example for a pure AOSP one for the device LG H815 is here:
https://github.com/cile381/android_device_h815
See this for an explanation :
http://wp.me/p6ZeCY-3p
AOSP source contains the sources to build a ROM which are the same for all devices and a device tree is a device specific description on how to build or as the above link states:
“A device tree is a tree data structure with nodes that describe the physical devices in a system”
.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
Thank you, steadfasterX.
That provides some clarity, although I think there is still a bit missing for me--
Ugh, i can't post links because of spam rules.. :-/ makes describing things harder.
How did you find the github cile381/android_device_h815 as being the AOSP tree for that phone? My understanding was that the AOSP main repo is here:
android.googlesource.com
And so related to my question previously.. i guess i'm confused specifically who the 'we' is that mythos234 references, and where that source would be located...
many thanks!
Hi all
I have been started to work on gemini for two weeks (switched to gemini development from my old phone Galaxy W)
I didnt get the device yet (but will get it as soon as possible, probably in 2 weeks)
However i started to work on it, and i really wonder "upstream linux kernel 4.4 can be ported to gemini? and why not?" after i saw CAF added msm8996 (our device's chipset family) support into Linux 4.4 kernel
As you already know our main kernel version is 3.18 right now,
Whats the benefit of 4.4 kernel:
-Nearly thousands of changes which some of them are bugfixes and some of them are new sweaty kernel features :good:
-Better power management
-Better memory management
-More secure (vulnerability fixes)
- And so on
So i started to work to port CAF 4.4 into gemini
- i just forked CAF pure,vanilla 4.4 kernel which support msm8996
and started to add xiaomi mi5's drivers + device specific changes
its very very WIP stage right now
TODOS:
- Merge all gemini drivers and device specific codes into kernel
- Fix all merge conflicts
- Update driver kernel API calls into 4.4 APIs (that is the hardest thing)
- Fix all compilation errors
- And hope for boot
İf anyone has an ability to contribute/help etc. and/or interested in this project , it would be really appreciated :good:
Here is the source code: https://github.com/sirmordred/Kernel_LA.HB.1.1.5_CAF-4.4 "gemini" branch
Mod Edit
Thread closed by OP request/No longer supported.
Reserved
And also to everyone: Kernel porting is really hard job and its a long run so dont expect miracles
i think it is worth waiting for
I'll wait and try when you uploaded Sir.
Wow... thank u sir..best of luck??
Wow well we do need great kernel for our gemini.... Thanks keep it up
another dev kernel for gemini, does it will support eas and vox populli?
Do you think other devs didn't try it till now? You can join our Telegram group to collaborate with the others that are working on it.

BTW: Why do you create a thread for a project which you barely have started...? It will be a long way and don't expect this to finish in 2017...
@33bca dude let him work Maybe he created this thread to have some help from devs ? some advices ?
BTW: Why don't you wrote here that he fork wrong branch but you just laughed at him on telegram ?

I think you got me wrong on Telegram. That was far away from laughing at him...! If he wants any help he can join us on Telegram.

Main goal is the colloborate devs, people who work on gemini to make development better and faster,
And the giving info about possibilities what can be done for future development on gemini kernel
I joined the group on Telegram but is there any dev group which is less crowded (contains only devs)

Because of not talking about "xxx how to disable xxx option on xxx rom, when will xxxAndroidVersRoms come to our device" questions and talking about only development related things,
well, not problem for me, just wanted to say, lets talk via PMs then

No there is no such group... once we have tried to create such a developer group it did not work that well
PM should be fine for the most of the cases, but if you want to create a developer only group, you are free to do that.
Wow man it's brave to try porting to 4.4
If it gets to work it'll be a wonderful thing!
