Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Not having built CM for a new device before, i'm interested to hear what any potential remaining barriers are (so I can help remove them if possible!).We have TWRP, a way to revert to stock and kernel source... what else is needed (aside obviously from a willing developer with the device and time on their hands)?P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frankish Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Way above my skill level. Could probably get it to build but as for fixing any bugs... Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) If I were, say, to put up a bounty of a Su6 (or the equivalent cash value) for the first person / team to publish a fully working CM12.1 (with an open source device tree), I wonder if that would help.P Edited August 9, 2015 by PaulOBrien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if people even donate just a pound. Get 50 people interested and its a nice little bonus on top of a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lonespeaker Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) looking over things, I think my eye's must be painted on earlier, but I see some issues why my build won't boot, so I'll take a look tonight or tomorrow, but maybe others who are able, can chime in and offer their trees or something and we can get a custom rom going.

Guest Skirttles Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 wouldn't a 5.1 64bits android version will be better for our SU6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lonespeaker Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 wouldn't a 5.1 64bits android version will be better for our SU6?yes certainly would, but getting any version working would nice for now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Any 5.1 would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VenâncioFerreira Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 wouldn't a 5.1 64bits android version will be better for our SU6?You would need a kernel that supports 64 Bit, and we don't have one. I don't think its possible to build one, unless Zte makes a update to 64 Bit and give us tyhe source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KonstaT Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I might be interested in taking up this effort if there is somewhere a 'free' device for me. Even if I bought it myself I'd need some help to have it shipped to Finland. I just can't go out and buy one. I wasn't supposed to get any new devices before end of this year and this might be a quite busy fall for me. This device looks like it should be a pretty straight forward bring up. No one can of course guarantee fully working CM or give any ETA for this. I have a pretty good track record on these things, though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deaglecat Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is this gonna be a kick starter? I would put in a fiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I am willing to put up a reward at the end of the process as mentioned previously. Not sure if that is motivation enough, not least because no guarantee a fully working build can be done!P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 So to clarify we need a working build before Paul would ship a device out. But there's a few of us between here and XDA who would be willing to donate to the cause too. Konstat as always I'm here and willing to test anything you come up with and do any logging etc for you if you decide to take this up. Of course don't commit yourself to something that will cause you unnecessary stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lonespeaker Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Funnily enough I've never seen it before either :) progress is slow and I'm not as much as an expert as others, but I am giving it a good go and fingers and toes crossed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
