Does anyone know if huawei have released the kernel source code for the mediapad m2? I would like to start a port of cyanogenmod to it.

Would be great ... I think the hw is okay but the original sw is ....
I've sent huawei a kind email reminder that the kernel sources need to be published . Let's see if I get an answer at all. Having CM on the M2 would be a great thing
You guys never even bothered to just go to Huawei's website and looking for downloads? The kernel is right there at the bottom of http://m.huawei.com/enmobile/consumer/tablets/detail/mediapad-m2-en.htm , just select the Downloads-tab. It has been there for months by now.
You won't believe how many sites I've been through to find the kernel. That one I never went to. Thanks again for the link!
[edit]
Well... it's not really the kernel I was looking for. It's for the M2 10". It has additional fingerprint reader, bigger screen, etc. If you do the same for the M2 10 inch variant, you get "No results found" in the download section.
After finding the right person to contact, they said the kernel sources should be available as of 12th September 2016. Let's see if that happens. I'll update this thread when I get the sources.
Wow, this would be awesome! I am wondering why such a great device has no additional ROMs.

Those are for the M2-8 variant. The M2-10 has more hardware (stylus). Would be really keen on getting the board config for the 10-inch variant
They finally put up the source code for the M2 10-inch variants!! Even for both flavours (M2-A01L and M2-A01w)!

There was news some time ago that Abhisek Devkota has a device and probably working on it. Need to wait a bit more. Device is not on the market yet, well it is starting to be sold so we need to wait. Although I think that even though specs are not super this phone will be very interesting option if equipped with CM11.
link to source info
https://plus.google.com/+AbhisekDevkota/posts/XumB6ymaJeb?utm_source=ausdroid.net
well nokia x and nokia xl have the same hardware and system with my phone s100
current roms available are
cm10
miui v5
lewa os 5
and my ported nokia x rom
hopefully if cm11 will be available on your phone then it will be available to use too...
did nokia released source code ..?
nope.. just system dump and boot.img
that's sad

Are there any information if they are going to realease it? Samsung does also push their sources just a while after the realeas of a phone.

We could write an Email.. Maybe they will tell us when they are going to release it. I don't know the release date of the the Nokia Xs, but I think they are going to push the sources a few days after the phone got released. Samsung and all the other companies are doing it the same way. Before I bought a N5, I have had an Ace II and we never got a full source code. Functions like OMX were very hard to get working without these sources. So we can just hope that they are dev-friendly and release a complete kernel source.

I would advise neither, coming from a device that uses a similar SoC. you don't have full hardware acceleration on newer android versions, and the gpu is really not all that good..
I would advise staying clear of the Nokia X

Yes, it is true, on my huawei y300 (same cpu and gpu) on kitkat there is not full HWA, ui is laggy and play games is very bad, this because qualcomm does not release adreno 200 drivers for android 4.3-4.4... hope that the cm team can do something

Cm news
"During our trip to MWC at the end of February we were able to secure an X from the Nokia team. There has been a substantial interest in this device from the community. While we won’t commit to releasing a proper ‘release’ (the hardware is more than a bit lacking) we have sent our X to dhacker29 to get up a source tree for the community. Just because CM won’t release a build doesn’t mean we can’t help other ROMs in the process. Nokia, to their credit, has already provided kernel source upon request and the bootloader is unlocked on this device – plenty of fun for the community to be had"
dhacker 29 is a very good developer hy is mantling the official cm for moto g
hi every one ,
VibeUi , is one of the most amazing and fast Ui you might see , its smooth , colourful and eyecandy it can make us all reThink again about our p8000 , Elephone gave us
a little taste of it last September but it didn't continue its work in fixing some major issues , like the Bluetooth and sim activation , but now we have a better chance to make it work even better ,
The Lenovo K4 Note is the closest smartphone to our Elephone p8000
It has the same processor Mtk6753 , same dimensions and the fingerprint and other specs , so developer wont have hard time porting VibeUi to p8000
here is the stock rom for the K4 note
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/stock-rom-lenovo-k4-note-t3312345
here is also the opensource code files for the K4 Note
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds105347
so , is there anyone intrested to make our dream come true???
sure some of the developers of the P8000 will be interested and we can help . Thank you very much for the contribution. I hope soon enjoy this great rom .
I will try to port this. Expect results in 12 hours.
I think P8000 already has vibe...

you could also try to port the rom. everyone started somewhere. and we (the devs) already don't have much time. we do it only in our freetime. and i personally will sell the phone very soon, so also no time to try the port. sorry
PS. maybe i will make a tutorial how to port roms on the 64bit MTK chips. but i don't promise this, everything depends on time

Thank you for the share, I already tried it some months ago. It works with 2 devices really similar (P8000 and Bluboo xtouch), however not in all case !
Hi guys actually i'm very interested to buy this device, but i don't know if oneplus released the source code of every chip in oneplus 3, because i want flash it but i won't lose for example the camera or audio quality. So someone could tell me if this is possible or oneplus doesn't allow it?

No they haven't released the source for everything, but stock rom is much better than any I've previously used so I'd go for it.

You are out of luck then. The only source that will be released is that which is covered by the GPL. Which means only the kernel source. You have to remember the drivers and such are closed sourced as they are with all devices.
Thank you guys for your answer
Im in USA and I have 2 Honor 5Xs running RR Unofficial with plenty of Roms to chose from its Launch date. The Honor 6X has the Kirin chipset and finally has picked up developers and Roms in their development area after quite a long time.
I thought I read that the Kirin processor had much less development due to the fact it was not open source like qualcomms from 5X. I may be wrong or ill informed of course. Will the lack of roms development be the same problem with Honor 7X? Looking to upgrade to Honors next budget phone. Please be honest. Thanks.
i wont buy another honor. the devs abandon it too much, plus the honor 6x lagged like no other. do what i did and grab a moto g5s plus for $279, its a great device with good development.
It will be easier for Devs to bring ROMs because of treble, let's see what they'll bring

The development for 6X has taken pace from this month start.. almost 3-4 roms have come forward with regular improvement.
7X will get the same love from the devs.. treble is around the corner as well :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for spamming the thread but need a confirmation if Honor 9i will support Project treble. Honor 9i is almost identical as Honor 7x minus screen size and Camera.
My decision to buy Honor phone depends upon Project treble implementation.
Thanks in advance!

If it gets Oreo, treble will come automatically
No, it is not the case. A phone that ships with Oreo will need to be Project treble compliant if it is updating to Oreo then Manufacturer can skip it.

All devices (H9, H8Pro, Mate 9 confirmed) that have been upgraded to Oreo by Huawei comming from nougat got Treble and the new 4.4 kernel.
I can only guess but i'm 99% sure that the 7x gets it aswell.
BTW, they usually implement the latest of the latest when it comes to under the hood android changes.

If you're a crack flasher, I'd go with the G5S+. I went with the 7x because it has a better camera compared to the G5S+ and a refreshing design compared to these other mid-ranged 5.5 inch metal clones. I'd gladly wait patiently for development.

Honor phones have vendor partition by default so i think it will get treble support.
Good morning!
Seems like the source code of Pad 5 kernel is released, good news!
Lets see developers what gonna do.
GitHub - MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource at nabu-r-oss
Xiaomi Mobile Phone Kernel OpenSource. Contribute to MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource development by creating an account on GitHub.

That are not news. The kernel sources have been released last year. Short after the Pads Release. So far there are no working custom roms or recoveries. It looks like that no experienced ROM Dev owns a Nabu.
Tests by unexperienced rom builders:
Broken TWRP: https://github.com/bm0x/twrp_device_xiaomi_nabu
Broken LOS Tree: https://github.com/faberto/android_device_xiaomi_nabu
Ohh... I didn't know, that's so sad...
Thanks for the information!
I bought this tablet because it's nice (value-for-money-wise), but I also hoped there would be some dev support to give it awesome roms. That's definitely the case for the Mi Pad 4. Any reason why this one is not that popular? Or is it still too soon?

Maybe because it has not been released in India yet.
im just wondering,
this pad is excellent.
what exactly do you expect to be added if port rom is developed?
Netflix HD is not working for me (widevine problems on a global stock firmware, I don't understand why), and after some usage, I prefer the stock android / pixel experience UI more than MIUI
