[DEV][ROM][17.11.] CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4.4) for ZTE Open C / Kis 3

August 14, 2014

This is my port of CyanogenMod 11 for ZTE Open C / Kis 3 (Beeline Smart2, Moche/MEO Smart A16, ZTE V811W, ZTE V811, Skinny V811, Optus Hop Smart, ZTE Blade M, etc). It is unofficial and unsupported by the CyanogenMod team. It's for advanced users only.

Important. Prerequisites!!! You need to install Android KitKat on your Open C first (e.g. EU_FFOS+to+Android.zip will do). You also need to have this ClockWorkMod or this TWRP recovery installed.

Do not mirror my builds! Please post a link to this page instead.

How to install:

boot into ClockWorkMod
backup and restore -> backup (create a nandroid backup of your current ROM)
mounts and storage -> format /system
wipe data and factory reset
install cm-11-xxxxxxxx-KonstaKANG-kis3.zip
install gapps-kk-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip
reboot now

FAQ:

Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click 'Build number' several times

Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot

Q: When I'm connected with an USB cable to my computer, I can't see my internal sdcard as a storage, why?

A: I've made an executive decision not to include a mount point for internal sdcard. This is because recent Android versions don't allow setting emulated sdcard as secondary storage. Setting rather small emulated sdcard as a primary storage caused issues with games/apps that want to download large amounts of data to the sdcard. Also partition layout is different on Open C and Kis 3 and internal sdcard is handled differently between device variants.

Q: There's no transparent status/navigation bar, why?

A: It has been disabled on low memory devices. You can enable it by removing/commenting/changing to false 'ro.config.low_ram=true' in /system/build.prop. There's also an option that will only force high-end graphics (Setting -> Performance -> Force high-end graphics).

Q: 'OK Google' voice command doesn't work, why? There's no Google Now page on the homescreen, why?

A: These are features of proprietary Google Now Launcher. 'OK Google' voice command is also disable on low memory devices (see above).

Q: There's only a home button on an Open C. How is this going to work?

A: There's 'hidden' back and menu keys on left and right side of the home button. There's also an option to use software navigation bar instead of the capacitive keys.

Q: There's an option to enable auto-brightness but it doesn't work, why? Proximity sensor doesn't work either...

A: Open C doesn't have ambient light/proximity sensor. Some Kis 3 variants on the other hand do, so that's why I've kept the support.

Q: How do I enable dual-SIM features on my V811W?

A: Add 'persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds' to /system/build.prop or alternatively 'setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds' in rooted adb shell/terminal session. This can also be done by flashing the following package in recovery.

cm-kis3-dual-sim.zip

How to build:

1. Follow instructions on initializing a build environment up to a point of downloading the source code.

2. Initialize CyanogenMod 11 repo.

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0

3. Add local manifest that downloads ZTE Open C / Kis 3 device config, proprietaries and kernel source from my github and few CyanogenMod replacement projects from legaCyMod github.

curl --create-dirs -L -o .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/legaCyMod/android_local_manifest/cm-11.0/local_manifest.xml
curl -L -o .repo/local_manifests/manifest_zte_kis3.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/legaCyMod/android_local_manifest/cm-11.0/manifest_zte_kis3.xml

4. Sync source code.

repo sync

5. Update Terminal Emulator (you only need to this again when Terminal has been updated).

cd path-to/cm11/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts

6. ~~Apply patches.~~ No patches currently required.

7. Compile.

cd path-to/cm11/
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch kis3

Use 'repo sync' to pull merged changes from upstream. Use 'make clobber' to clean the build environment. Repeat step 7 to make a new build.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for giving CM11 and CWM to us for our Open C. I am realy looking forward to flash it on my Phone :)

Hi,

I installed CM11 this night an everythink seems to work great except two liitle things:

1. The softkeys do not vibrate even I have turned the option on in the audio settings. Lock screen unlock does vibrate, soft keys not. Do I do something wrong?

2. Titanium Backup crashes itslef or somtimes the whole system doing large batch jobs (freeze of system, softkeys do not work anymore). Backup or restore of single apps does work, doing a batch backing up all apps crashes after a few apps. Is this a Titanium Backup or CM11 issue?

Thank you for your great work.

Thanks for testing and your feedback.

1. It's missing the keylayout for goodix touchscreen. Save this as /system/usr/keylayout/goodix_touchscreen.kl and set correct permissions for the file (644).

key 139    MENU    VIRTUAL
key 172    HOME    VIRTUAL
key 158    BACK    VIRTUAL

Haptic feedback is now there but it's quite short/weak. I'll see if the vibraton duration can be increased in the next build.

2. Could be either. Logcat would probably tell a bit more...

August 15, 2014

Hi,

Haptic feedback is working with the file, thank you.

With logcat I have masses of this messages:

E/ ( 885): W/int loc_api_server_proc(void*):138] fail receiving msg from gpsone_daemon, retry later

Hard to see any other message between, I must try again this evening, ATM I am at work.

Hmm, strange I don't see that spamming logs on my device. You could try turning GPS off and rebooting.

There's still some issues with GPS (Qualcomm wifi location services) but gpsone_daemon should not be used at all on this device.

Edit. Grr, I cleaned up ramdisk a bit too much. :P Execute following in terminal (or adb shell) and reboot:

su
mkdir /data/misc/gpsone_d
chmod 0770 /data/misc/gpsone_d
chown system.gps /data/misc/gpsone_d

I cannot find /data/misc/gpsone_d on my phone.

'mkdir /data/misc/gpsone_d' first then. I had it there after a clean install but it had wrong permissions/owner. :o Seemed like setting the permissions stopped the log spam for me but it could have been something else too...

August 15, 2014

Hi,

this worked:

root@kis3:/ # cd data
root@kis3:/data # cd misc
root@kis3:/data/misc # mkdir gpsone_d
root@kis3:/data/misc # chmod 0770 gpsone_d
root@kis3:/data/misc # chown system.gps gpsone_d

Now the gpsone_daemon messages are gone in logccat and I will make a clean logcat output of the Titanium Backup crash.

Greetings

It finaly worked, I got full log of the Titanium Backup crash after a nearly fresh reboot. I logged everythink in a file with "logcat -f /sdcard/logcat.log" and attached the full log to this post as a zip file.

Dalvik keeps crashing on qcmediaplayer.jar. That shouldn't happen. Iirc there's something wrong with qcmediaplayer.jar on my other device as well but nothing like this. Just another thing to look into...

Great Job!!!!

I've been having issues building the kernel. No one's sources work on my end... and i'm not really sure how to make the dt.img from the dt files. if you could lead me to some info that would be great.

i didn't have any trouble with building firefox 1.4 for the phone or building clockworkmod recovery.

anyway, great job

Who else has sources? :P

https://github.com/KonstaT/android_device_zte_kis3/blob/cm-11.0/mkbootimg.mk

That's everything you need to know.

In short, you need to compile dtbTool (https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/device/qcom/common/tree/dtbtool?id=LNX.LA.3.5.1-00710-8x10.0) and create a dt.img with something like './path/to/dtbTool -o dt.img -s 2048 -p ./scripts/dtc/ ./arch/arm/boot/' from the root of the kernel tree.

yeah i finally stumbled across the updated tools here: https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools not long after i posted above.

and i meant kernel sources. there are several sources for msm8610 available. although only your source posted in this thread and one from github user ztemt worked as is without having to make several modifications, on my setup anyway.

What several msm8610 sources? There's only this one I'm aware of:

http://download.ztedevices.com/uploadfiles/copyright/mobilephones/ZTE_V811/ZTE_V811.KK.34x.kernel.tar.gz

There's exactly zero msm8610 kernel sources on github user ztemt's account. :o

August 16, 2014

in making the dt.img using the dbdTool source you mentioned (which is in the B2G repo for the OpenC), i get an error on two of the dt files:

Found file: msm8610-sim.dtb ... ... skip, incorrect 'qcom,msm-id = <' format
skip, failed to scan for 'qcom,msm-id = <' or 'qcom,board-id = <' tag
Found file: msm8610-rumi.dtb ... ... skip, incorrect 'qcom,msm-id = <' format

There's exactly zero msm8610 kernel sources on github user ztemt's account. :o

the U9180 3.4 source

contains both default and perf configs for the 8610 platform. it's essentially the same from what i can tell. of course i'm probably wrong lol. but i built a kernel with it.

i used the commit link you gave me before that you said would be identical to zte's release, yet it never worked for me.

i also tried the other branches of the same source that this is from and never could get it to build without changing several things.

but i've got them building fine now.

and something interesting that i've seen is that i've not had to replace the wifi module yet with the two new kernels i've built based off this source. i wonder if this has to with the device tree blob integration?

Most likely you're doing it wrong e.g. using a source code that is not for this device!

the U9180 3.4 source

contains both default and perf configs for the 8610 platform. it's essentially the same from what i can tell. of course i'm probably wrong lol. but i built a kernel with it.

Lol, not even close. That's a msm8x26 kernel source. It doesn't have any hardware specific drivers for this device (display panel, touchscreen, camera, sensors, etc). There's zero chance that would ever boot on your device. See this commit what ZTE have done for their msm8610 family of devices (ZTE source on top of CAF).

Defconfig means absolutely nothing! There's a default defconfig for every supported msm platform in every CAF kernel. There's even defconfigs for different platforms in mainline kernel which can result to completely idiotic news pieces like this. :P

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-experimental-3-10-defconfigs-msm-exynos-tegra/

and something interesting that i've seen is that i've not had to replace the wifi module yet with the two new kernels i've built based off this source. i wonder if this has to with the device tree blob integration?

If you don't change anything in the kernel, the modules should still load. That tells that at least ZTE has released a valid source.

This is also getting completely off topic...

August 17, 2014

New build. It's getting pretty complete now. :) There's no issues that I'm aware of at the moment so user feedback is required to move forward. ~100 downloads and only one person commented on the actual build. You could at least say thanks or hit the +1 button on the first post if you don't have anything to complain about. ;)

Also if there's anyone with other Kis 3 variants (ZTE Kis 3, ZTE V811W, MEO/Moche Smart A16, Билайн Смарт 2 (Beeline Smart 2)), please test and report back. I can only test things on my Open C but I'd like to have other variants supported as well.

Hi,

I installed it this night, great work, thank you.

Haptic feedback on softkeys is working now.

"gpsone_daemon" loccat messages are gone.

Titanium Backup still crashing, now making a complete reboot. I attached a logcat-log as a zip file.

Good Job!

I tried to compile it so many times but I always got an error. At the end I flashed the ZIP and it worked. Animation while loading would be cool.

Yeah, it's still the same thing with dalvik crashing on optimizing qcmediaplayer. I have couple of ideas and I'll look into when I get around.

Have you built CyanogenMod before? What kind of error?

Huh, there's already a bootanimation if that's what you mean. :o
