Question for you guys.
Dev here (from such rootings as the Galaxy Tab 2, and fixing gps on the Wifi Sony Tablet Z).
Considering getting one of these (on sale at new egg for 279 this weekend)
What is the status of the Bootloader? Is is locked? Is LG allowing unlock?
How about root?

we have officially loki'd it but that is about it. We don't have a dev to do the rest. DJRBLISS added it to the list. PLEASE BUY!!!
EDIT* Which if you are not aware allows you to flash recoveries, roms and anything your heart desires. It bypasses the locked bootloader and gives your the same result of a unlocked bootloader.(so far all LG devices are loki compatible, been flashing for months on my G2 with that method) Just need to make a recovery compatible for our device. TWRP has a guide but we don't have a dev to do the work.
P.S. i just bought mine from new egg!
We've got root, but some people are paranoid about the method. A few of us have been working on getting a recovery working but we're new at it. I feel like I'm getting close.

I think I'm going to, the thing we need is a kernel source, which under the GPL we can ask for (they can ignore it lol)
2 of us at CMB (I know is a new never heard much of team rom, my rom) will have them, so if we can create (we being everyone here) a solid device tree we will be good to go.
I have a N5 and had an N4, I think the G2/N5/N5 trees will be the place to start creating one.

So ive got a D851, and as most of you know, Lollipop still isnt out yet, should be out soon no doubt, but ive read that there are a lot of bugs and issues and what not with the official version of Lollipop. So my question is, would i be better off waiting for the official Lollipop or getting a L based rom?

Yes but it's only a matter of time before a fix comes out. Nothing better than running stock official firmware. Too many roms have different bugs. Unless you want try and find the one that has less.

I guess youre right. Thanks!
Either way, you're going to have bugs. Some are very well documented on any device for which Lollipop has been released.
My thought is to wait for the custom ROMs based from the D851 stock. By that time, many of the existing bugs will have been squashed or have acceptable work-arounds. You also end up with the best of both worlds, think of it as customized stock.
From what I hear, official Lollipop has a lot of bugs or rather annoying quirks, and that no had yet to find a way to unlock the bootloader, so would it be smart to wait for the official update, or root right now and get a L based rom?

I guess it really doesn't matter what you download and flash. Official lollipop has bugs and any L rom you get now has many bugs also. As for me I'm sticking with zonerom until something solid comes out.
What do u recommend I do? Wait or use a rom?

I played with a couple of the roms last week. The plus is the battery, it rocks. Couple bugs: 1. Touch sensitivity is not very good 2. Radio (noticed I lost connection in places I normally don't)

How long will it take to get TWRP, custom ROMs, etc?
I don't think anyone knows right now. I know our phones have different partitions than others so it may take some time for it to be stable for us to use. I did see jcase post something on twitter about TWRP on a Pixel.
I saw a post in the dev thread (the only kernel thread right now) that they are working on twrp. The biggest challenge sounds like figuring out the file based encryption used on the pixel device.
I hope they hurry!
The saying "you never know what you've got until it's gone" is very true. :crying:

No disrespect was intended. My post is a lighthearted comment on life without a rooted device.
My guess is that they're trying to figure out how to best accommodate and exploit the dual partition goodness.
I'm patient. I was just curious.

Does anyone know where we can monitor the progress of TWRP?
AFAIK, the Dev isn't huge on posting Twitter/G+ updates but I could be wrong.
I'm not asking for a progress update (I may be lying).
TWRP and Xposed for 7.1 are the next huge things we're waiting on.
And then we all wait for our favorite ROM to get developed.
Dirty Unicorns or Broken OS for me please. :good:
Sounds like Ethan is making progress on TWRP but still has a ways to go.

Hello fellow XDA members, I recently purchased a Le Pro 3 and a Le S3 during the flash sale and would like to use Cyanogenmod on my devices. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever ported a ROM before as I have not, and only know about the CM porting guide and opensource.le.com for the kernel source. If anyone has any tips or would like to assist me in porting CM13 to the Pro 3 please reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks, and let's hope LeEco releases the source soon!
Love to help but this isn't my department ????. But we should probably see more support in a couple more days once they start arriving here
Just out of curiousity, what exactly had you hoped to achieve with this post? If you're interested in porting, ideally you should at least be able to build a rom (for another pre-existing device)... and then you'll have to hunt down help on the CM forums and then eventually IRC.
Talking about this on XDA is pointless.

The purpose of my post was to see if anyone in the XDA community had experience porting a ROM to a new device, and if they'd be interested in helping me. I have read through a few guides and understanding building a ROM, but am struggling to find what I must "merge." From what I've found so far, I'll need to edit/merge the directories in /system/libs and edit the kernel?

No, it's far more complicated than that. You'll need a copy of the kernel for sure, but you'll also need a device definition. You can use the op3's device as a template, it's probably the best example of an msm8996 device you can have.
You really should be checking into the CM forums. CM people are pretty uppity about not supporting things on XDA. They also don't tend to help. Even as a developer I find it difficult sometimes to get their attention. Your best bet is to go to them if you want their help. Good luck.

Yeah, I understand. I also found out that it will be about a month until LeEco officially releases all of the source.

Where did you get that information from? They "accidentally" released kernel sources not too long ago and seemingly withdrew it. I got a copy of them and that's what I've been working with. I don't have a device to verify if any of it works.

Not a lot. I've identified the CAF tag the sources are based on and have been working to separate the relevant LeEco mods from the less relevant ones. I've also been attempting to remove the leeco specific things from the drivers that i'm keeping since they're a horrible mess and CM won't be able to make use of them anyway. I've also been finding the appropriate open versions of the drivers and taking the latest ones instead.
The mods from LeEco seem to be a mess, the dmesg output I got from a user on the chinese model (the x720) had segfaults from the modifications just after boot. The logcats are so full of errors I was unable to get the user to send me a full logcat from boot.
Interestingly enough, the chinese system rom looks like it came from a Le Max2. This makes sense since it's LeEco's first msm8996 device, and the Le Pro3 is the second one. I imagine the kernel sources work across a number of the 8996's.
Can you send me the link to where you got the open drivers.

Wish i could help more, but it looks like the kernel source is in there too, perhaps that means a fully functional cm13 rom that works AT LEAST as well as the stock rom. VERY EXCITE!

With kernals we're close to root and twrp, perhaps xposed.
Anyone who's working for/with able to provide a progress report?
Perhaps a test boot.img?
Update 23.12.17 Proof that root is possible by Xshooter726
Update: 28.12.17 by DarkestSpawn
1, A/B partitioning needs smoothed out in twrp
2, Wi-Fi driver issues in twrp
3, no factory images for those that don't read through all the subdirectories and rush things and brick their device
4, waiting on the generous purchase delivery of a Razer phone to be delivered to Dees_Troy
5, Still in the holiday time frame, peeps have real life things to take care of.
6, other things in the background being chatted with between the devs and tester(s)

You guys are amazing and sharing the work that you do for your own devices with us makes you incredibly generous. I cant begin to explain how grateful I am that after spending all of that time and risking bricks you simply hand over a solution and specific instructions so we can do the same.
Thank you so much. :3

No one has extracted a boot image yet.

Awesome! SOO many of us been waiting for this lol time to unlock the true potential of this phone.. I can only imagine what they will be able to do with it.
I'd be happy with root right now so we can mod the **** outta this thing and install a custom kernel till we get something like RR or LOS. Hell maybe I'll even try Xposed finally lol

I will let jcaddunono do the release. It is to risky to release this in its current state although root is stable. Without a way to do a full system restore you could end up with a brick.

Sounds cool.. You guys care to share exactly what sort of tweaks your thinking of in the build prop :good:
https://thedroidguru.com/15-best-android-build-prop-tweaks-must-try-2017/
These have a few of the more popular tweaks.. But as you go you find more that work specifically for each phone.
Camera2 API - this phones camera is capable of so much more.
Also being on a carrier version meant I didn't get the full update Min tweeted about. The phone in its current state is a bit like an android version of an iPhone.
Maybe add Viper too, the convolver would be a nice addition to Dolby experience.
Anyone else have a vision?
