Hey guys,
First off. Mahdi rom is Amazing! I love all the features and it had just the right amount of features for my new G2! Thanks Doc for maintaining this for us!
Second, I am a kernel dev and am working on my own kernel for the G2. I have essentially made my base Savoca's Furnace Kernel (With his permission of course) and will be adding in features as I go. Currently I build for the Moto G but wanted to buy a higher end device and love this phone. I have the D800 (AT&T) so as it stands I only have a test kernel for the D800/JDI. You may be able to use Savoca's new panel tool that you flash after flashing the kernel to swap screen support. I would love for some others to test it out and let me know. I will be bringing a different perspective to kernel Dev'n than normal. I like to be hands on about the process and to instigate discussion so others can learn. Let me know if anyone is interested.I will be building for all variants that Furnace kernel supports.
Note to ALL: I will open an official thread when I am satisfied with testing. Thanks for your interest! Hope I can bring something new to the G2!
Right now I have added:
Custom Hotplug from Blechd0se (Moto G) Falcon Hotplug - Ultra simplified and efficient.
Sl(auo)b optimizations
frandom
ETC
Check source for more indepth info!
Just pm me if you are interested. Everything looks to be going pretty good so I should be opening a thread pretty soon. Remember this is still in Beta. Still I would love to hear from others out there. Thanks!

Not 100% sure but give it a try. Should hurt anything. I am fairly new to the G2 and don't know every single in and out yet. I do know that the source base is pretty fractured but I am hoping to bridge the gap a bit. Let me know so I can let others know in the future. Thanks!
OK just flashed. Booted fine but froze and that is my fault
..I started playing around and enabled intellidemand. From what I remember for some reason that gov is a problems. Rebooted and left the kernel stock. Now running fine and no problems. I'll update on battery and perf.

Great, Thanks for the info, I will most likely be removing it anyways. I have inherited Savoca's source and am laying mine down ontop. He did all the amazing groundwork that will allow me to support numerous devices much much sooner. Thanks and let me know how it continues to work for you!
@RenderBroken booted up just fine. Running smooth. I'll report back tomorrow as well. Thanks again for building for us. ?
Render, since I cleaned the kernel and left it stock I'm getting the SOD. If I let the screen go off and try to turn the screen back on it just lights up black. Tried and tried but just a black screen. Unfortunately I had to go back for now. Can't wait to try it once it gets cleaned up.

I looked at Savoca source and it appeared to have no FM support in audio driver, same as Mahdi now.
I'll copy my post from Mahdi thread, in case your interested in enabling FM:
I've concluded that sound/soc/msm/msm8974.c needs to be patched with the "#ifdef CONFIG_SND_FM_RADIO" code seen here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_msm8974/blob/cm-11.0/sound/soc/msm/msm8974.c
Unless you're up for that, I'll presume I'll try it myself.
Any tips for kernel building for a JDI LS980 ? I built a few Android kernels in 2013, but never even tried flashing them.
That said, I've been doing embedded linux professionally since 1997.
Thanks !
1 question. Why didn't you post the kernel in one of the development sections??

At first it could be in Original Dev section. I can test something on d802 LGD. @mikereidis u have a G2? if yes then it's great to see more devs here

hi, thank you for supporting our beloved g2 we all appreciate it, i just have a request. you see , only the Qremote can control the IR on our device, lg didnt use the real android open source drivers for it . so we cant use apps like smartIR whereas samsung n htc are compatible. im just suggesting if you can try and implement open source IR drivers to the g2 ? so that we can use all these apps that utilize that api i know this is gonna be an insanely though part as you'd have to figure out which hw IR we are using and then implement a compatible driver for it. but im just suggesting that this is perhaps the only bad part of the g2 till now

I will go ahead and push the latest changes and post link. Also I am fairly new to the G2 scene and just how fractured the source code is for it. I would love to take a look at this if its simple enough to add in. I am not against trying though. If you could, remind me when I open up the main thrad in the next few days. I am heading to the beach with my wife and son so will not be able to do much in the next 2 days but when I get back and I get some good word about the builds, I will open the thread and kick in to overdrive.

Weird, I am pretty certain I build to LGD variant. Sorry brother. Try using Savoca's panel changer that you flash after the kernel. I even used Savoca's build script so not sure what the problem is but I am pretty sure that it's not a SoD problem you are having but a panel issue.

I have successfully managed to pull over the required changes from the nexus 4 for AOSP compatibility of our framebuffer and modify our panel drivers to work with it. I've pushed the source to the CM10DNA github here:
https://github.com/CM10DNA
Everything is currently in the cm-10.1-chad branches. Right now its not fully booting but does have working video (the major hurdle with CM10.1). I'm heading out of town for the next week so I won't be able to work on it.
For those who would like to work on it. I would recommend using a combination of the current HTC devices that have cm10.1 and the nexus 4 as a guide. It shouldn't be too hard to get it booting the rest of the way by not building various components (audio, camera etc) until you find the hangup.

I'm all for more development and would never want to sound ungrateful for any community contributions, but I get the impression (since I've been watching closely on XDA and IRC) that you're not working with drewx2 at all on THIS project even though it's been in the works for a while. If you were to contribute there instead of starting from scratch, we'd likely have it fully running in not time. He's only got a couple issues left and I'm not sure the framebuffer is one, but if his code-base falls short there, then you could at least improve on that.
I'd happily donate to you also if you were making contributions toward his project. Please consider that instead of going solo.

This is CM10.1, not CM10. Completely different animals even though one would think otherwise by the numbering. I have no desire to work on CM10. I appreciate your concern but please keep discussion on topic.

^^^^This^^^^
This is the second time in 24 hours I've had to come in this thread and clean it.
Please abide by the op's request.
I do want to mention for anyone working on this that CM10.1 is distinctly different than CM10. It uses an updated display HAL, audio HAL, GPS HAL, and telephony is significantly different. You can't simply patch up from CM10.
The good news though is that our phone uses the same SOC as the nexus 4. There is no support for the n4 and the newer SoC (apq8064) in CM10, only the older msm8960 which most other HTC devices use. Hence why I keep stressing that its a much better idea to work on 10.1. Most anything we need to update we can pull almost directly from the n4.
I hope now everyone has resolved their differences and this can be worked on as a group. Like I've said anyone can pull anything from my tree and I dont care nor do I need to be credited. I just want fully working AOSP. It should be quite reasonable to achieve now that the display is working. Especially because of our similarities to the nexus.

Finally a noteworthy post on this topic. :highfive:
When we work as a team , the total is worth more than the sum of individuals.
Iam sure with devs like you and drew, DNA community will get fully working AOSP at the earliest.
I have the CM10DLX stuff synced already so when I get home tonight I'll switch to the -chad branch.. lol.. sorry I just thing the branch name is a little comical. Either way, have a safe trip man! BTW: Another device I was wondering may help shed some light is the Moto Droid Razr HD. While only dual core it looks like the primary difference is the gpu.. so there may be some helpful stuff in there as well.
Edit, is adb functional?
I just built and booted this and was happy to see that it got as far as upgrading my apps (but then hung when "starting apps"). Very nice.
However, I couldn't get adb to connect. I tried editing the initrd.img to set the property ro.adb.secure=0 in case is was related to securing adb, but that didn't help.
Is there some magic that you need to do? If not, how do you start to debug this?
FYI, in case someone else hits the same error that I did, I also had to do:
Code:
mkdir -p out/target/product/dlx/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libmmjpeg_intermediates/
touch out/target/product/dlx/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libmmjpeg_intermediates/export_includes
to get it to build.

I think it could potentially break some of our proprietary libs. Audio and camera most likely. I think we should keep it the way it is for now. Once everything is working we can give it a shot to see.

Lack of ADB seems to be kernel related. I flashed a different kernel and was able to pickup adb... of coarse it did't play well with libs but atleast its some sort of progress! lol.

I don't have time to do any real work on this (this is my daily driver, use heavily for work phone and it's a time sink to backup/restore/fix /sdcard/0) today,but I took the boot.img and changed init.rc to include init.dlx.usb.rc instead of init.usb.rc and I believe that should get adb up and running for you.
To test, I booted viper 1.1.3 with the old kernel (no adb ever, but amazingly enough the display works enough for the boot animation) and booted it with the changed kernel which give me adb access.
In the future, will it be possible to extract Nexus5 rom/updates and apply them directly to G2 ?
Just asking, because G2 and Nexus are sharing a lot of same hardware.
It'll probably be easier to port Nexus5 rom, instead of having a lot of work on a common 10.2CM ?

Its fairly easy to port ROMS from Nexus 5. However reading log cats is the main thing here. Thankfully most people can't read log cats so it stops the noobs flood the place with terrible ports. To answer your question yes it can.

Yea the Optimus G Pro already received 4.4 based off the N4. I'm suprised we haven't got 4.4 based off the N5 yet. Perhaps the devs are still getting comfortable with the new hardware.
Real good to know about the N5/G2 ease of porting. I'm particularly curious about the kernels and how similar they are to one another. Moving forward with newer versions of Android, the kernels are the important thing.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to port roms over. The only concern I have is whether or not they'd work with the VZW version. Not sure if you could use the RIL from the G2 or a new file from scratch would have to be made to be able to get working data.

I know, I know... the droid x2 is a lost cause, but i have to make it last a little while longer and I have 2 of them so...
Is anyone interested or talented enough to try to get CM11 (kitkat) ported over to this device? I know @kev1nMark has been "talking" to dragonzkiller about getting into it, but anyone else have resources to contribute? I've never worked on the device at such a low level before, but I have written apps for it as well as know a thing or two about code. I'm happy to contribute whatever i can, even if its as simple as running up tests on my spare device.
Thoughts?

I am considering it. This devices is a royal pain to work with though. I will see what i can do.
I'm certainly willing to test any builds that may come up, I'll have to locate a wall charger though..

In the same situation. It's looking like a good deal of work and might be a task I just simply don't have the skill for at this point. Still, I really want to have a useful old phone. Gingerbread makes me sad. Jelly Bean is just a resource hog. I've always wanted to learn a little more about the ROM build process and this might be a decent way to do it.
How does one go about porting KitKat to the X2?

This is where I'm starting also w/ dragonzkiller's CM10 repos. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
EDIT: Perhaps it's better to start building an updated CM10 just to get everything building correctly? With my lack of experience diving right into CM11 seems a bit bold.
One can simply put cm11 framework on a cm10 base but that's not what we want.

Should anyone decide to take on this herculean task, I'll be more than happy to be a test bunny. My X2 is presently a glorified paperweight.

I have a Milestone X2 running under the ACS Alaska carrier. My device is rooted and I've used every ROM that Larson Thorpe has put in his MX2 collection. The ICS and JB roms did work, but had too many issues/crashes/reboots/etc so I just stuck with Eclipse 2.3 which is based on Gingerbread.
This phone is just... hard to deal with sometimes, and we all know it's mostly due to the amount of RAM. KitKat seems to take care of a ton of memory issues in Android (tested on my N7.) People have said that KitKat won't actually improve older devices by much, but any improvement would be amazing!
I'm totally down to fully test any builds anyone comes up with. I wish I could help build/develop for this phone, but I'm a web developer and have absolutely no skill with ROM building or kernels or anything like that.
Here's to hoping!
I can get everything set up and running (as in, ready to compile) but the compile errors are truly a mess to debug.
Is anyone willing to make a "how to" thread that describes how to make a basic rom, specific to this phone?
I think enough people are still interested, but I think we'd get further if we helped to educate each other.

This is about the closest thing I have seen, thanks Kevin for pointing it out already:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Maybe once it gets put on more devices and development starts up again. You could ask nitroglycerin if he would be willing to update eclipse. But being a 512mb device this would be huge.

Since we don't have a unlocked bootloader we can't just download the source and compile it, it takes a lot of skill. That's why we have a low development rate

Well, actually, you can have CM compile around a pre-compiled kernel (what we have) but there's more to it than that.
One, we already have graphics issues...and KitKat forces you to have newer drivers or else you get black artifacting
This is due to OpenGL 3 not being supported by the vendor blobs
Our blobs don't even have ICS support...
Another nightmare is, yes, getting CM to take the precompiled kernel
If I got my hands on the source that the cm10.1 rom is based off of, we could start work
I would aim to start with 10.2, then maybe add in cm11 features but keep the old system
It would make things easier, keep radios, wifi, storage and display working...hopefully
Also, being as I'm on cm10, could anyone link me the patched recovery?

Adding it takes time, adds risk to the stability of the phone and gives me no benefit. My phone is heavily locked down by my IT department and with a minimum 8 character alpha numeric password, the sweep or double tap to wake is not improving my life.
I love s2w as much add the next guy..... but try omnirom 4.4, and enable active display.... you might like it better.

Okay, here's a dumb question... Right now we share the AOSP kernel source with the HTC One. Wouldn't flashing a custom AOSP kernel for the One work on the DNA?
yeah some nice s2w like the old cubed kernel so you can do just "back to home" to wake it, its so nice i dont see how ppl dont want it of course unless they have some crazy circumstance like crpalmer just described
but we have a lot of diff roms so something like this would be rather difficult to choose one version of android for this to be implemented on or many kernels, lotta work it seems.
Ask .torrented. He made a s2w kernel a few months ago. He may have a very busy schedule but if enough people ask he may do it.

I don't think one of those kernels would be difficult to port though. I'm just wondering what exactly makes the kernels different, because if you compare the CyanogenMod pages for the DNA and the One, the kernel source link is for the M7 on both of them. I was considering trying to port a kernel myself a while back, but I couldn't find enough information online about it... I think it may be one of those things where if you have enough knowledge of ROM building and git than you just intuitively know how to do it.

Yeah I'm not sure either. If you wanted to give it a run for your money I'm sure palmer would give you some pointers. I would love to see a dt2w kernel!! Lol
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk
I couldn't resist, I just had to try it. I figured the worst that would happen is I'd have to reflash my ROM. So I flashed the HTC one sti kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507710 it flashed and booted just fine and everything works... None of the s2w dt2w features etc are working but it said it flashed successfully so I'm assuming it's running the kernel... I don't remember what it said in about phone before but it currently shows "3.4.10-CM-gbce7128 Robert @ minty #1."
Edit: yeah I'm pretty sure that's the stock kernel...
It was worth a try right?
@crpalmer would you be willing to give me some pointers on porting or building a kernel? I'm somewhat inexperienced with building, so I don't know if I should bother taking on a task like this.

Do not, really, do NOT flash a kernel for a different phone. The Linux kernel is setup to have the same core files across a huge number of devices but then have device specific files. We share the M7 kernel but we have different device specific files. These files control lots of things but the most important is determining what pieces of hardware are given specific voltages, etc.
If you want to try to build my kernel, you should be able to do so fairly easily. Porting the functionality will require some programming knowledge and some knowledge of git. If you think you can do it, let me know and I'll try to give you some first steps on building my kernel.
Porting a M7 kernel to our device might be hard. There is a high probability that they aren't necessarily keeping up-to-date on the changes to our device specific files. You'd have to figure out if they were and, if not, pull in the missing changes.

My bad. I quoted the wrong post! I just wanted to make sure it was clear that the same source is not the same as safe to flash because we have completely different hardware configuration. So, I guess it was good that I misquoted so that I have a chance to say it a second time!

Wouldn't mind it at all.
Only thing now is that I'll need to set up a Linux PC at home (currently only have it at work and a Windows PC at home). Of course I can try developing on Windows for a Linux target, but from my experience it's way more effective when your development host runs Linux. Guess I'll only have the chance doing that in a week or so, as we have a long holiday here now.

My girlfriend has an Optimus L7II and I'd love nothing more than to go right her some cm11 goodness. Stock is so bloated and slow. It's really annoying hearing her complain about it, knowing I can't to much about it. I've been flashing things for years and was a bit heartbreaking to see there's not much to choose from for this particular device.

Great to see you here as well mate.
It seems like we have a good head start in terms of people involved, we just need to organize our efforts.
I have opened the L7 II CM11 Kickstart thread in the Development section. I think this should be the place to coordinate our efforts.
there are a few custom roms
in fact there is an unofficial CM 11 for the LG Optimus L7 II (wich i own myself)
Theres also a kitkat modded stock rom but i highly recommend the unofficial CM.
