You may be wondering why these devices haven't received Lollipop yet. The issue is, yet again, the MT8389 processor, which is based off of the MT6589.
I.nfraR.ed posted yesterday on the main CyanogenMod on MTK devices thread:
I.nfraR.ed said:
Do you see anyone working on CM for 6589? Most of the people moved to other chipsets.
Maybe chrmhoffmann and DerTeufel are still working on this, but I don't know anyone else who has not moved to newer device.
I have moved to Redmi Note 2.
For lollipop there's no mt6589 source and although it might be possible, it would be enormous amount of work. I don't have so much free time and have a full-time job after all.
I can't leave my regular job just to work on side projects.
So, no...unless someone else is on to development for Lenovo A820/A830, then don't expect fully working CM or ROMs based on Android 5+.
If for some reason I leave my regular job and have some "free" months, then I will be able to work on this project, because I still have my A820 with me. Not likely to happen.
My KK kernel is public, so anyone can continue from where I left.

Development support for the MT6589 has been (mostly) lost, and consequently, so has support for the MT8389. This means that, until a compatible kernel for 5.x.x appears, the likelihood of both of the devices being upgraded to CM12 or 5.x.x is very low.
That doesn't mean it's not possible, however; simply unlikely.
According to the specs the A3000 has a MT8125. Is support for this also gone?

Yes, I'm afraid this is the Wi-Fi only version of the MT8389.
I was on it..but moved to another..not at all able to boot it up..now there is a hope because of 3.4.67 kernel..again working on it???
CM12+ for A3000-H
Looking forward to CM12+ on our beloved A3000-H:highfive:
Hi guys, I have just finished doing my A3300 with Cyan's 5.1.1, all is working except for camera

One of the best features of 6.0 is the SD use as domestic, I'm on my tablet and is very helpful. It comes to hardware, the Xperia ZL has power to spare to run the Marshmallow.
However, I saw nothing official and unofficial nothing yet, OmniRom being AOSP, CM13, Resurrection, Paranoid, Omega, Exodus, etc ... In other words, it seems that no one is working on it, which I think is a shame, such a good player.
But still have a glimmer of hope, someone knows something, it is planned, expectation of a Custom ROM?:good:
:fingers-crossed:
Just wait
Hi,
it will be a MM Rom from Sony,
just wait !
What about NEXUS 4, almost the
same Hardware, PLATFORM !
Maybe some MODDER can take
a look at this CM 13 release of the Nexus.
greets
Truth!
By the same hardware of the Nexus, there is hope that we Android 6
Sweet. But my ZL is dying. I'm still on KK, hoping L fixes media server battery drain bug.

Check this link. It's a fresh new Marshmallow rom. Didn't try it, yet, so flash at your risk. The developer needs our support, so... YAY!

What great news!
Thank you very much!
A bad news, dev of CM12.1 likely gave ZL up.
He didn't update anything about kernel, libs, blobs, drivers or some device fix.
Even ZL hasn't had TWRP v3 yet...
Now we know all the Sony device facing camera issue.
Then no dev, no new rom. :crying:

As the maintainer of the Xperia ZL I do not know, but we continue to have in the Builds Nightlys:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=odin
And we already have the TWRP v3.0
https://dl.twrp.me/odin/
If I'm not mistaken, the Phill already updated the Dual recovery as well.
The problem of camera I do not know what it is, what happens? (I'm not using a lot).

Oh, I'm using TWP v3 now. Thank u for telling me! :highfive:
Though we are supported by CM, we can only get CM general update. We have several device/kernel issues, they won't be solved anymore unless there's someone continues to maintain the project and not only let it get cross-device updates of CM.
As I know, we have these issues:
1. HDR camera isn't here.
2. Live Display can't switch back to day mode from night mode in automatic.
3. Not smooth about graphic, my friend's HTC Butterfly is better.
4. The lowest brightness isn't the real lowest (1%), in fact it's about 20% of brightness.
5. I'm surprised that we use ondemand as our default governor…

I hope these can be solved in Resurrection Remix M.
I don't expect too much about CM12.1 now.
Even few people discuss about it…
OmniROM

I don't want to discredit the miracles all friends here doing.Really, some ROMs can turn our phones into spaceships(!)with all those features.But if i'll see another cm-based rom here,i will slit my wrist(not to mention that CM-based roms have issues AND they're not compatible with some system ZenUI apps,like flip cover,radio or Splendid)!There are some really nice looking "skins"of Android firmware,like Miui or EMUI,with really cool features,too!Will someone give them a shot?!

You know, our phone is x86 based and this is a major reason why we'll never got such roms like MIUI, LewaOS or EMUI it's rather dificalt to build it or to port it to our phone.
We don't see miui because the patchrom is only on android 4.4 which our device never got so we don't have drivers for that and it is really hard to port from another phone since the zf2 has and x86 intel processor

first of all your thread is in wrong place
I don't get you guys i mean you are talking like we can easily build port bla bla ... but we are not doing
i mean why you guys try to do that by yourself instead of commanding us to do that
yeah miui just got a patch rom for 5.0 now one of our devs is trying to bring it up when we had chance believe me my friend we are trying that just before you tell us
As i said,i don't want to descredit the huge work you're all doing and definitely not going to "command" anyone.And it seems i will never understand where is the right place to post here!I'm glad to hear this is going to happen!Thank you for your reply and the hard work you're all doing,really!
I wonder: Why is this thread on development section?
I personally agree with @Nyks45.
MIUI's patchrom source is available (and updated to use 6.0 as base), but I don't think devs could port MIUI to our x86 devices, since patchrom files are for arm (and arm64 (?)).

MIUI8's patchrom uses 6.0 as base ROM.
EDIT:
By the way, if someone could manage to port it without any major problems, I myself would greatly appreciate it in any way.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
but can we port Nexus experience rom? just asking if possible
Well,
CM13 Is A Very Stable rom so why can't we use CM sources combined with MIUI?
@adaa1262
You can't use the CM13 MIUI roms because the compilations with MIUI are for Snapdragon processors not for Intel
Each processor type have their own tree for the builds
I asked about this subject on other HUAWEI GX8 TOPICS, but nobody wants to answer frankly to my questions, including devs...
IS SOMEONE WORKING ON PORTING CM14 FOR HUAWEI GX8 ?
DOES ANYONE WANT TO START WORKING ON CM14 ?
IS IT HARD TO MAKE CM14 FOR HUAWEI GX8? IS IT VERY DIFFERENT FROM PORTING CM13? (cm13 is working very good)
WILL SOMEONE START DOING THAT ? IF YES, WHEN ?
I hope someone can answer my questions...
I have read the other threads, and have seen that the only active dev @Redbeard for our G8 has no interest in making a port for cm14.
I'm no developer, but I do know a lot about android. Android 7.0 (7.1 now) is quite different from 6.0.1, the same as 6.0 was a major step from 5.0, and so on. When people mention 'porting' this or that to, or for a rom, it's a little more complicated than changing a few lines of code to make a working rom. Depending on what is being ported, and to what device, a dev may need to re-write half the code for the rom, just to make it boot. Big factors such as what hardware needs to be supported, so all the sensors work as they should, modem and radio for internet and calls, need to taken into account, and with the revisions in Android, the radio and modem that worked for cm13 may not necessarily work for cm14, and another thing to keep in mind is that phone manufacturers might not release all the source code or drivers for all their devices. This makes it even harder for devs to make working roms.
With this little background knowledge I hope I could help make things a little clearer.
With that, sorry to be the bringer of bad news...
surdu_petru is working o cm14.1 only things not working are GPS and FPS. so we need to wait for the great work of a great dev.....I will try to build other not CM based roms...like slim or omni....
I've searching for karthick111's cm11 folder, then i saw a folder called "cm14.1" with a zip called "cm14.1-20161220UNNOFICIAL-nevisp" and i downloaded and flashed it but it bootloops :'v
Does anybody know if it's usable or a wip?
Pd. There a bootable cm13 rom that i'm using to write this :v
I'm sorry if i had a bad engish, i'm a mexican :v

Yeah... I have just flashed it, but it has been in a bootloop for 20+ minutes already. Needless to say, this is probably a test/WIP CM14.1 build that @karthick mostwanted is testing for the Galaxy Fame to see if it will work at all. From what I am aware of, later CM ROMs (CM13, 14, and 14.1) will not work as well as they should on this device as it is low-end and doesn't have the RAM or processing power that is required, however, CM13 is fairly usable from what I have tried, but I still find the CM11 (KitKat 4.4.4) ROMs to be the best. Then again, it is always good to keep and eye on and test the latest builds that the developers release, as I have seen some older devices get ROMs which shouldn't work on them because of their hardware, but do, because the developer is able to configure it to make it work.
I'm disappointed
I don't know why everyone being stalkers
The work is not even done yet and u guys are posting it here without my permissions
Yes in next build I will try to brick the device badly if this persists again
If the work is done I will share it for sure
Don't irritate developers by doing this way

Fair enough, but I assumed that since it was publicly available to view and download, then it should be okay to publicly discuss about the development surrounding the ROM/s, but I guess not.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into these builds and the continuation of custom ROM development for this device.
Any news on twrp for this device? Or anyone heard of the kernel source to be released?
Really looking forward to open up the box and put an asop rom into it! But until it's available it stays in the drawer
for the p20 lite, project treble already works.
I really like the aosp rom but there is no support for the notch, which means that notifications will disappear behind it.
And it doesnt support round corners
there is no relationship in the porject treble and the release of kernel source
treble will just speed up the release of updates but nothing else
if you bought it only for the purpose of changing the rom then I advise you to bring it back to the store while it's time
There are alot of treble roms out there. When source is released there will be propper twrp available. So this way I can profit from treble developers not only Huawei. History has shown there are usually not a lot of roms for Huawei phones.

There's already a twrp you can use look in view 10 forum.
And the the 0.6 version.
Just don't use a passcode and it'll work just fine.
