Novathor sources permision - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

An email has been sent to STMicroelectronics regarding permission for the usage of the leaked sources as no dev would use them.
--------------------------------------
Respected management
The sources for Novathor U8500 used in numerous android devices have been leaked on 26 January 2014. The developers for this chipset request permission to use these sources in the development of custom firmwares for devices in non-commercial ways to replace stock firmwares. Due to licencing of the chipset sources and Novathor's closed source policy the usage of these sources was not accepted by the developers due to legal issues.
We await your reply concerning the usage of these sources.
Thank you
--------------------------------------
Please do not spam this thread with your opinions regarding the usage of the sources. Its all up to the devs if they want to use it. If St says yes, all is well and good and if it says no then go back to closed source
their reply (if any) will be updated to this thread

As much I know Apache 2 is allowed but everything needs to stay free,theres really no point of this.

really? we should have bugless rom that way, but we haven't so i don't think devs are using those sources...except mclaw

Thats not true couple of developers started

who r the couple of developers
let they be anyone plz make rom xu with the leak source

Maybe need use only apache licensed sources?):good:

They've got a complete CM11 for the Ace 2 with everything working if you check their dev section. I hope we get similar as no offence to FXP, but CM9 is pretty slow, I've hoping we benefit from project butter + the KK memory improvements.

Oh is it? The name didn't give that away... It does however run the NovaThor U8500 and in the week since the sources release they've got everything working. As far as I know all the U roms are still as broken as ever, no fm radio, no wifi direct/tethering, no a2dp amongst other things. That's not almost everything, not to mention if all the rest were switched to the sources it would all work better than hacked together work arounds. I appreciate the devs work, but it's daft to pretend using the sources wouldn't make a difference, the Ace 2 now has full KK roms with everything working.

Just be patient, guys. We will have got also bugless KK ROMs. For sure.

Is anyone here in touch with a member of the cyanogenmod team? Have you ever thought of asking the team if they would build official cm with these sources? They maybe know more about rights and law since this is their first job...

JellyBean 4.1 PORT to Galaxy ACE

Hey folks,
So, at first i want to say, maybe this is just a dream, but i just began working on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ARMv6 PORT to our Galaxy ACE.
It's just a test if it bacomes work, i will develop on.
Hopefully it works, but i think that wouldn't be that difficult cuz it is in many things the same as ics
Remember that i'm a 12 years old noob, which has big dreams to develop something like that
Ok, so that was my message for the first. When there is anything interesting, i will let you know !
GlenniBoy
P.S.: Sorry for my very bad english, i'm from from Germany and 12 years old

The ************* LORD Maclaw will help all XDA ppl to compile all the available ROMs, as long as u give him donations for hosting his own server with few files there[This is compulsory since they r all MASTERPIECES], LOL.
Beware that dnt upset him, or else he will quit his developments in response [He will be back, tho] and we will get delayed JB on Ace...or the download link on GALAXYICS will be down:what::what::what::what::what::what::what:
In my noob eyes, hes the best dev on XDA, he is soooooooooooooooooooooo friendly, and he is the first person to bring ICS to our Ace[LOL really?At least some noobs say so].He is so powerful that he can handle many projects such as AOKP and CM9, he is the bbbeeesssst dev on XDA in all time!
Let's praise him for his great work OMG!

I'm thinking he might of given up on this project. He made a few posts last night in the general discussion forum that makes me believe that he's not working on this anymore. Also only having 8 posts on XDA and not commenting on here in days doesn't really bode well for his credibility either.

Information Sharing

Any chance people could actually share the technical details of creating custom boot.img. I'm sure people like having a quick "one-click" solution for recovery/ custom kernels, etc... But a good deal of us would like to know how to roll our own.
Can someone provide a brief rundown on how to create a working boot.img?

But that's my point, just releasing binaries isn't helpful for educating the wider community. I guess I'll just have to look into it myself.

as i am working on another device which using msm8974 and having problem to create good boot.img
in fact i have the kernel source, but need merge this new mk file and build the dt.img

The reason why I and bin4ry etc haven'tshared the info to everyone is because the more experienced devs will now how to compile it with the little info we posted.
Also the dt.img is kernel dependant etc, so we don't want just everyone to make faulty kernels or do something wrong.

AOSP KitKat Coming Soon

AOSP KitKat Will Come To XZU Soon

It was easily ported from nexus 5 to 4.
I would settle for a straight aosp build without the extras!
Been hearing good things about 4.4.

KitKat can come to any device as long as someone is working on the kernel and proprietary files. We have Kali here so I'm guessing that's a good sign that it's coming.

Why are you not sure? I'm 100% sure that AOSP 4.4 will come to the Z Ultra. And a trusted developer has been quoted as saying he is working on it at the moment.

You are aware that we're talking about the AOSP version and NOT Sony's right? Devs are saying that they're working on Kit Kat as we speak. What's the problem? Should we get @krabappel2548 in here so he can confirm that he's working on it?

I will have to respectfully disagree.There is an attachment on the original post which shows krabappel2548 saying he will bring it to the ultra. From that I pulled up the other links. So the OP didn't claim something without further info, or at least not that couldn't have been followed up if you had an interest in the topic.

Anytime there is a new source / base, then dev's need to start a tree from scratch. It takes a huge amount of time. So don't expect a release soon..
I just started a fully new device tree and running a first compile of 4.4 kitkat with the 4.3cm kernel.
Anyway I'm expecting some errors to pop up with caf and qcom.hardware maybe. I'll keep.you guys posted here and also in Z1 kitkat in.november thread
You can also check my site, important news will appear there too
I can't give any ETA since kitkat is brand new + we didn't had an AOSP device tree from 4.3 to start from. Just keep your fingers crossed and check XDA for updates

Pixel experience ROM for grand 2

Has the grand 2 developer are making grand 2 many ROMs...and keeping it still alive ...Is very good ...
As many developers are porting to flyme os,dotos,aim,viperos and many more ....
Is there any developer who can make a pixel experience ROM for grand 2 ...It will be very great too..
Get a close-to-stock rom like lineage and flash magisk and then, get the pixel 2 experience magisk zip. Essentially the same effect without making a whole new rom.
No. Bungee gave up G2 support cuz of that glimpser guy and a whole bunch of nooboids crashing all over those threads.
And I have no time to build it. Also Pixel experience is AOSP based as much as I know and we don't have LOS tree adapted for AOSP so it's not possible. And don't throw your "can anyone port this that" request in General section. It should be in the Q/A section tyvm.

Oh, too bad, I don't think anyone here will be able to give a build server. But the device tree will still be up on GitHub, right?
Also, I was asking how you were keeping in contact, not whether you were keeping in contact, no need to answer if you don't feel like it.
