[DEV ONLY][CM] Team Neutron CM10 L7II - LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II

Hello this thread is intended for development purpouses only. Do not post thank you posts, request posts or anything not related to the main purpose. You have a thanks button if you are thankful.
Well warching at what lg did with kitkat using bad jb blobs for gpu that resulted in abnormal cpu usage for rendering and in slowness and glitchness I decided to set up Team Neutron. This team will build a working cm10 that is smooth which is possible.
Well now anyone with abilities can join after i talk to them. Not here on topic but after they pm me.
Atm i would want to know if the following people will join me withoit egos secrets or drama. I will split iobs and watch over the project. I will work on it myself.
Kernel
@airidosas252
Rom dev from source
@weritos
Please confirm or infirm my invitation. This could be my last project for this device since it has almost no support. It will be a good one though.

I understand correctly
Going to collect СM10 ??

We are gonna get a super stable cm 10 if you want to work with me

This is certainly good
But for the models 715 to gather a working network will be problematic, СM10 not support two SIM cards

That is right but we are never going to get a stable cm11 because of the gpu. We can make 1 sim work i think

Edit: @weritos
The best we can get is a JB based rom like CM10.2 at most. After we get the single sim working we can patch somehow for the P715 to use one sim (some ramdisk tweaking).
What I am thinking off:
let's pull the blobs only from our phone. See if we can get it running. We analyze the log and see what are we missing then add them 1 by 1 (this will give us maximum stability that can be attained).
let's remake that device tree with only the 100% necessary things and we can always add up on top of that. Let's not take TeamHackLG base. Of course we will use the 7x27a settings (SoC's are almost the same). Well, the best thing is to make some display things for our own 8225 socket. It will take a while but all we need is in our kernel. We can focus on this later to improve the stability even more.
Well. Our first goal is to make it boot using ONLY the blobs from our device + the GPU drivers I managed to obtain (they are optimized for JB). After we get that working we should worry about other things. Kernel should be modified just to boot (in the first stage). After we get a fully working device (RIL, WIFI etc) we can work on a better kernel, optimization, overclock, deep-sleep and everything we want. I also watched in the LG Ramdisk (from stock). It's a bunch of garbage half of it could be deleted. Well I am pulling the blobs tonight, download cm10.2 source and let's get to work my friend. Imo we should focuse on the boot first. Ofc if you have any opinion I am always to open it and if your idea turns to be a better one (since none is perfect) we will go for that.
EDIT2: There is a fetch error in cm10.2 let's try with branch jellybean.

That's a great idea, but first you should try CM10, 10.2 will be very slow on this device, since it is using hardware much more, and it is slower compared to CM10. But that's just my opinion.

True. @shiftyHungary: well after researching it seems cm10.2 is more optimized and from what I am seeing the most stable version of cm for 7x27 is cm10.2 we should work with that imo. There is a sync error because there was some fights over some source. will be fixed easy by replacing in repo with the path that it's used for cm11 or jsut delete that repo. Don't know which one yet. Researching.

Okay, you know that better than me, I just shared my experience with my previous devices. Pm me if any help needed.

Well yeah. I really want CM also. I made my own version of CM11 it's smoother than the one we have but still mile away from what it should be even with hard-core optimization because CPU is too high because of the CPU. @weritos ->much respect to this guy, though I disliked some of the things were handled, I give props to him and I am thinking it's a good opportunity to work together and share idea with him (none has nothing to lose). Yeah cm11 will not be our deal and all the graphic glitches in games and stuff it's not because weritos CM11 it's because of LG being LG... With Cm 10.2 we have a way better chance (this came to my mind when actually trying to fix AOKP Ril problem which was based on CM10). I could feel the full powa!!!. Cm copiled GOOD from source will be butter (not in games and stuff ofc it's and Adreno 203 after all) smooth at least in UI and current day-by-day operations.

CM10.2 from the source code
christi9503, As soon as I pass all my exams
I redid the device tree under CM10.2, alter and drop provider (use LG)
But I tell immediately there will be problems with WiFi, Network

---

Well we can solve problems if we work rogether mosr likely. Best of luck with your exams. I am finishing blobs tonight and i made like half of the device tree. Tonight or tomorrow i will look in the ramdisk and will delete all that is useless

Well @weritos. Blobs are done (didn't pull the GPU ones since I will be using the ones I have found). Device tree is not fully done but it will be. I am building right now the first build. Using display CAF so it will take a while to get caf to work.
Edit: I will learn to use github and push repos there. Easier to work.

Cristi,
For now, use stock Kitkat kernel sources (just compile them using GCC 4.6 and you're good to go)
Because, once we modified stock kernel for certain things to work, like Wi-Fi, I can duplicate those and merge with my own customized kernel.
I'll work my ass off at my own kernel tonight, since I discovered certain problems.
Anyway, CM10.2 is a way better choice than CM11.
If Google didn't change whole lot of things in Kitkat, things would never have got that messy as it is now.

Looking at the actual ramdisk kernel doesn't need modification for wi-fi to work. Same for RIL. Seeing as how it is handled we might be missing some bins or libs it'll be hard but it's possible to get ril with only our device files. This company called LG is just ****ing with us. Working on ramdisk for over 1 hours. There are A **** LOAD of duplicated files, obsoled, not used files. Working on it.

And for those reasons I started to mistrust them as a company.
Good thing there are other devices, which really do the helping out.
Anyway, CM10.2 will be easier to get working on our device than CM11.

The mess they made. They just dirty patched mostly anything. My last LG device for sure.
Sometimes I am really thinking what big companies think. Another update. Sometime there is echo on what you are talking and stuff (like you hear your voice if you talk in the mic). It is because LG doubled some uevents or even tripled them. So they get inited like 3 times. This might solve the mic problem forever also.

WiFi will not work immediately
Rild will not work

We will work that out my friend. Better if it takes 1 week or so to fix just 1 problem than making a messy fix and having instability and stuff. Quality over quantity. In the end that is the best combo.

Amyway, how everything is moving?
Wi-fi isn't a big deal breaker. We'll fix it, as well as RIL.
And we should avoid using modules.
