Porting Firefox OS to FP1

Continuing the discussion from Firefox OS is the way to go!
Hi guys!
I am new to xda-devs, but have been visiting it for useful information in the past.
I own a FP1 (First Edition) and am seeking to port FFOS to the FP1.
I do not have any developing experience, I have just done C and Java and I am comfortable with Linux's CLI.
I am following this guide: Porting Firefox OS
Currently I am stuck at the following: Create a manifest for the new device
[edit]
Which changes do I have to make to the hamachi manifest mentioned there?
I figured out, that most of the stuff is hamachi-specific and thus not required. My current manifest is attached. Could you please take a look and tell me, if this is enough?
These files are at hand:

Well there already is a recovery file for the fp1 + fp1u by chrmhoffmann up and running. The MTK6589 source code is kind of released and there has been a lot of work on the android code by the omnirom project, which might come in handy.
Should be definitely manageable to build and try out Firefox OS on the FP1. UnfortunatelyI'll just don't have the time to really dig into that. Maybe someone with a bit more experience can give it a shot. I'd love to see and try out the result...

I am inviting @madde-, @_keesj and @chrmhoffmann, I hope you, or others, can help me out.
Thanks in advance, Stefan
PS.: As I am new to xda-devs, I do not know, if my thread is in the right position and/or tagged correctly. Please give some advice on how to improve my original post.

I'm very interested by a portage of Firefox OS to the Fairphone
Don't have enought time to test for now, but I stay connected

Did you try your file out? I's think it's probably best to cut down on just the relevant settings.

Yes, the config.sh got stuck at like 93%.
Also I have no idea, what exactly I have to include into the manifest file. I think I need a toolchain, but I am not sure where to get one, and how to apply it. (I somehow know what it is though, I think... )
Ok, running the config.sh comes at the very end, so I probably should continue with the configuration tree[1]...
Does everything in here [2](@chrmhoffmann's repo android_device_fp_FP1) go to the configuration tree?

No haven't been able to work on this.
I still have no idea, where and how to build this configuration tree. Do you have advice on this?
Thank you, Stefan

Fyi, a build is now available. As a new user on XDA, I can not post link here (what a ****ty rule), but check bug 1139642 on bugzilla and search Fairphone on the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) to have more info.

Wrong phone (FP1(U) vs FP2)
The build, you are referring to, is for FP2, not for FP1.
A Firefox OS for FP1 could possibly be built using the source by @chrmhoffmann: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fairphone/orig-development/rom-fairphone-fp1-kitkat-4-4-2-t3243623

How to become Maintainer for Lineage OS?

Hello,
I want to become maintainer for Lineage OS for specific device (I will buy the device to maintain).
Could someone plz explain me the process of becoming the maintainer and pre-requisites for it?
I had a look at teamoctos/join-our-team/ but it will be helpful if someone explains all those steps in it.
--
Thanks

I'm not sure about this but however:
First of all you will have to build device tree for that device (I guess that device isn't supported at the moment, if is than you can contribute to that repo on github via pull requests and wait for them to approve change) and that device tree works without lethal bugs. Also you'll need kernel that won't make you much troubles because manufacturer probably published sources (they had to). And when you make it work than you can try to conntact them about joining team, if they accept new devs, because I read somwhere about how to make CM support device officialy they mention only they support devices they own, they not mention anything about joining team if I remember well. It's best that you conntact them and ask I'm sure there is way for that.

Unless a specific thread states otherwise (which will provide you with the individual or location to do so), the XDA Forums isn't where you request this.
Regarding the Official LineageOS, though, the XDA Forums isn't where you request this either, here's the only location (at this time) to where you can find what you're looking for.
1) Go to the following link:
http://wiki.lineageos.org/faq.html
2) Scroll down to the following question (without quotes):
"My device is not officially supported, but I’d really like to give LineageOS a try. Can you support my device?"
3) It is there that you'll find the information you're looking for as well as the E-Mail address to where you can send them the information.
Good Luck!

Low Screen Brightness on Boot

I own a LG d620r (europe) with LINEAGEOS 14.1(BUILD 14.1-20171128-NIGHTLY-g2m) combined with supersu and have some issues while Booting.
When I boot the Phone, i get the regular boot animation. After about 5 Seconds the Screen brightness goes down to about 10%. Same happens when I use Chainfire LiveBoot. How can I change the brightness during boot so the LiveBoot output becomes readable to me?
Brightness change is not affected by the SuperSu-Binary, also happens with clean Lineage.
Thanks in Advance.

1) On the first post, select the bottom left triangle (reporting a post).
2) When the next page loads, select the reason on drop down section (at the bottom left of the text area), then select the one that states "Thread/post moving or maintenance".
3) If it's because your question was simply answered, then type the reason within the text area. Something simple like "Can you please close this thread because my posted question has been answered." (you can also tell them that "Ibuprophen is awesome" LOL!).
4) Finally, select the "Send report" and you'll then be taken back to the thread. Your all set!
The report is then listed on cue for a Moderator. It typically takes anywhere from 10 min to a day or two. The Moderators are very good and are pretty much on top of things.
Reporting a thread isn't intended as a bad thing. It just elevates having to send call-outs and PM's to a bunch of Moderators till one is available.
You've now graduated from the "Closing a thread 101" course! LMAO!!!
Good Luck!

LineageOS builds for gtelwifiue (Sam Tab E) stuck at boot logo - and Create Bug issue

Hi,
recently commented in a similar thread but no response.
I have a Samsung Tab E (gtelwifiue) with Los installed. Have done 2 or 3 updates (in device) already. But recently tried the last 4 builds available and none of them get past the animated Los logo when rebooting.
Pretty sure I'm doing everything the same as I have before, it's not really complicated. Download it, press to install, follow directions. But after pressing (in twrp) to reboot (after install), it sits at the logo screen, I waited 45 mins this morning for it to change, no joy.
Thanks (just joined Reddit this morning to report this, but won't let me post for 24 hrs).
------- edit to add ------------
So I didn't find any answers to this after searching xda, following suggested links, etc.
But, You can open a bug report with LineageOS. In *this* case, it's a 'regression' bug (it used to work but no longer does). To create a bug like that it's important to at least have a good idea, if not the exact date, of when it did work (that cuts down a lot on the work needed to solve the problem).
I followed the links found on this page; https://wiki.lineageos.org/bugreport-howto.html
It's been accepted and assigned, no telling how long it will take, but at least I've done what I can do. Word to the wise; *always* do a backup before upgrading to a newer 'nightly', unfortunately, sometimes a new 'fix' for something might cause a problem with something unexpectedly.
cheers

Hi and thanks for responding. The second link is actually the one that I've already responded in a few days ago. As near as I can tell, it seems to be a build issue as the older builds work okay. It certainly is confusing, I'll wait until I can post on the Reddit account for the Los Builders and see what they say.
Thanks again.

I updated the original post to indicate how to do a bug tracking problem. Thought it might help some people with some of the issues they've been indicating.

Lineage 14.1 -- cannot run App that synchronize

Hello
I have lineage-14.1-20171211_235636-UNOFFICIAL-woods on Moto E4
with open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20180803
running well.
however, when I try to install Apps that synchronize music with my Mac the App
crashes when I try to install it.
I tried DoubleTwist, and other apps such as "son iTunes to android free"
these apps run well on the regular Android that came with the phone.
Can anyone suggest what should I do to make Lineage run such syncing Apps ?
